Oh Stop, You're Making Me Blush...er!

Hello my darling lovelies,


Today's review is on a product that I adore. I've always loved blushers and I hope to keep trying different kinds for you all!

Brand: Ossion

Product: Multi Blusher, No. 1 (1호)
Cost: $40

Place of Purchase: Palace Beauty, Galleria Shopping Center, Koreatown, Los Angeles.

Type of Product: Blush, Highlight, Contour, Eyeshadow

Pros: 

-All-in-one product.

-Works for all over the face

-Compact, portable

-Comes with a brush

Cons: 

-All the colors are pretty light pigmented

-Pricey

First off, lemme just say that Korea and Japan's packaging are amazing. I mean yes, this did cost me a pretty penny so it should look this beautiful, but the fact that it just comes like this... I'm drooling. I love it. It's something to be proud of holding in your purse.

Let's take a moment to appreciate the packaging:

Ahhh... So beautiful...

Okay! So, I'm sure now that I can find this for cheaper somewhere online or another store. Besides that, I think it's well worth the $40. It's pretty deep, so there's a lot of product there. Not only that, but it's multi-functional AND it came all the way from Korea.

Pricing aside, it's great because it can be used as ANYTHING. Say you're going on an over-night trip and don't want to bring a million products with you. 

Tada~ You have your blush, your highlight, your contour, eye shadow, all in one. Just this compact that's the size of a normal compact...

Let that sink in for a second...

Now, this one is more in the pink tones. I like this one because it really looks like a natural flush and is perfect in Winter. Why Winter, you ask? Because the cold flushes the cheeks a very particular shade. It's not red, not pink, but this sort of pale fuchsia and that's exactly the color you get when you mix the colors together and apply it as a regular blush. I like this because it offsets the pink I already have in my cheeks and makes it softer. 

Now to explain how this is an all-in-one product, lemme utilize the numbers I have edited onto the photo.

1. Highlight.

                 This color is a baby pink and has a pearl shimmer to it that is perfect for highlighting the forehead, the tops of the cheekbones, nose, cupid's bow, and chin. 

2. Contour

               Still in the pink realm, this brown is warmer. It's certainly for lighter skin tones, but applying it under the cheekbone (about half an inch above your jawline) will create that definition. And using it along the sides of your nose will give the appearance of a thinner nose. (I won't tell on you.) 

3&4. Blush

            These two colors alone can be used as blushes. The orange-ish tone will create a brighter sort of complexion while the pink will create a sweeter look.

Best part:

 All of these colors can be used as your eye shadow as well. And you can mix all four for blush, maybe just two, maybe three. All of this creates unique looks. Of course all of it will be a softer look than what many of us use for "day-to-night" looks. But, like I said, it's great to use all over the face. 

Many Asian cosmetic brands carry this sort of product, so I have many more to explore, but for now, this is really fun to play with.

In Conclusion: 

Though this one is pricey, it's a really great "on-the-go" sort of product. The colors aren't very strong in pigment but they're meant to compliment the face's natural attributes. I recommend this to someone who is always 5 minutes late and the person who is always packing two bags for an overnight trip. (erhm, me...)

Maybe one day I'll do my makeup with just my tinted translucent, concealer, eyeshadow primer, and this Multi-Blusher and show you how it came out?

Underneath it All... The Makeup That is. (Part II)

Hiiiii, missed me? :3 Teehee.

Okay so now that we got the daytime out of the way, it's time for my nighttime routine!

This one will be almost disappointingly shorter than the other...

Shiseido The Skincare, Instant Eye and Lip Makeup Remover
Cost: $26.50
Place of Purchase: Macy's
After a long day at work or school, I really don't feel like taking off my makeup. But guess what? I don't want break outs and I know it's bad for me. So no matter how tired you are, PLEASE remember to take off your makeup. >: For me?

Anywhoozle, I hated makeup removers. I hated them all because for some reason, it made me feel more dirty than clean. I still don't quite like the feeling of makeup removers, but this one I can tolerate greatly. Not only does it not burn my eyeballs, but it smells pleasant and goes a long way. One cotton pad can remove my waterproof mascara, on BOTH eyes, my cheek stain, and my lipstick. Though I should use two cotton pads, I'm a college student. Let's be honest, if I can get away with one cotton pad, I'm going to do it.

Like I said, it does have the sort of oily feeling on the skin still, and you do have to remember to shake it (I forget all the time, fail Hana...) but it's great and really gentle but still powerful!

Shiseido Ibuki, Gentle Cleanser
Cost: I don't quite know since I got it in a starter kit that came with the balancing softener and moisturizer for $25, the full size is $30
Place of Purchase: Macy's
Ibuki is a great skin care line. It's a cheaper than White Lucent (by about 40 bucks for all three products. White Lucent is about 137 for all three, Ibuki is about 99 for all three) and it's made for people in my age group. It's made to help make "trouble free skin" which means it has light preventatives and it helps keep skin in its youthful and "best" state.

I bought the starter kit to try it out since I was hooked on White Lucent. It was a brand new line (still kinda is) and it really does make my skin feel really nice. I would say if you really aren't interested in White Lucent but want to give Shiseido a try, Ibuki will be the best place to start. If you're dry combination/dry this line will be fantastic for you. If you're oiler, they do have a line just for you called Pureness and I think that's even cheaper for than this line.

Ossion Secret Pearl, Toner, Emulsion, Eye Cream, and Hydra Cream
Cost: Not sure about the full sizes but these were free samples. (I'll post what I bought to get them soon!)
Place of Purchase: Palace Beauty (Koreatown Galleria, Los Angeles, CA)
I'm currently trying this out for 2 reasons.
1. I do not have a night moisturizer. (...yet...)
2. They were F-R-E-E.
C'mon. They were free. I'm a cosmetic fanatic. There's no way I wasn't going to at least TRY them.

Pros (so far):
-The toner is a gel-toner and feels really nice on the skin. Like, silken on the skin.
-The Hydra Cream is also almost gel like and leaves the skin feeling super refreshed.

Cons:
-There's a bunch of steps. I mean yeah I can skip the eye cream, but as a strong believer in preventative measures for wrinkles, I'm not going to.

So far, these size samples have lasted me half a week. Again, I'm frugal, but it's really amazing how far they stretch. I don't know if I would buy the full sized just yet, but hey, I still have another set sitting in my cabinet.



That's all I have for you today! Come check back tomorrow night and I should have another post for you! ^_^
