I will be posting reviews for these products soon!
Almost everything I purchased was fairly cheap! In fact, S. Korea, in general was really inexpensive!

The Face Shop

Missha (Lots of samples!)

Skinfood
Nature Republic

Aritaum- I went in this store a ton of times, but only bought two things, lol

Etude House - These stores were literally all over Seoul!

Innisfree

Everything!

*I walked around Hongdae and Myeongdong over 5 different times each, and I didn't find the StyleNanda store until one of my last days in Korea, as I was looking for the subway. So I couldn't buy any~ But I definitely will be going there on my next trip!

From Japan, I really only bought two beauty items! I mostly bought stationary in Japan ^^~

Look out for the reviews!

『Review』Affinia Eye Makeup Remover Review {from June Beauty Favorites}

Hello Ladies!
Here is a review for one of my June Beauty Favorites! Affinia Eye Makeup Remover~

Swatches for testing!



From left to right, Eyelid Primer, Waterproof Mascara, Glitter (Eyeshadow), Pink Eyeshadow-Lioele, Liquid Eyeliner, Pencil Eyeliner, Gel Liner, Concealer.

I used a square cotton pad with just a little bit of the eye makeup remover for each different swatch.
















Starting from the right side, the concealer was removed in one wipe! The Gel liner was a little more resistant, so it took about 3-4 wipes.













Pencil liner, like the concealer, was removed in just one wipe! And the liquid eyeliner, in just two wipes.













Pink Eyeshadow was gone in only one wipe also! The glitter eyeshadow, however, took about 5-6 wipes before it came completely off.













Lastly, the waterproof mascara and the eyelid primer were removed in about 2-3 wipes, each.













Overall, I love this eye makeup remover! As you can see, it's really easy to remove makeup, which is great when you don't want to waste time during your nightly makeup routine. Or if you don't want to keep rubbing or pulling at the delicate skin around your eye when removing your makeup.

I definitely recommend this product to everyone! For ordering info you can email me at: joliehanaemi@gmail.com

June Beauty Favorites! ^_~

Ciao! Here are some of my Beauty Favorites from last month! I love all of these products and hope you will love them too!

June Beauty Favorites

All of my beauty faves from the month of June!



1. Burt's Bees Almond Milk Beeswax Hand Creme
I love this Hand Creme, my hands feel so smooth and soft after using this. Even after washing my hands throughout the day, I don't have to apply lotion as often. I also use it on my feet and elbows!
All of the ingredients are 100% Natural! 



2. Affinia Eye Makeup Remover
My eye makeup, even thick eyeliner, comes off very easily with Affinia! It also doesn't sting if you get a little in your eyes.
3. The Face Shop real nature mask Rice (Sheet mask)
I love this mask so much I have included in my morning skin care routines! My skin always feels refreshed and looks bright and healthy after using this sheet mask! I definitely recommend anything from The Face Shop, but especially their sheet masks!


 4.) 3 Concept Eyes Creamy Waterproof Eyeliner (Vivid)
So obviously I love, love, love, this eyeliner! I've already reviewed it and used it in one of my makeup tutorials, but I just can't say enough how vibrant and easy to use this colored eyeliner pencil is! (Review)

5. Tony Moly Face Mix Cover Pot Concealer 
I don't usually use concealer in my daily makeup looks, but for special occasions, I really love Tony Moly's Face Mix Concealer. It blends well, and provides a good amount of coverage.


All of these products are great and I definitely recommend at least trying them out. I will post reviews for the products (I haven't already reviewed) soon!

Where to Buy

1. Burt's Bees Almond Milk Beeswax Hand Creme- Raley's/Nob Hill, CVS Pharmacy, Whole Foods, your local drugstore. Burt's Bees Website

『Review』Missha's The Style Two-in-one Fit-in Gel Liner Review

여러분 안녕!

So I used this eyeliner in my previous make-up tutorial: Sea Green Shine Makeup Look; but I wanted to post an official review of this because I really love it!

Product:
Missha The Style Two-in-one Fit-in Gel Liner in color No.1 Black Twinkle:

Official Missha US Website Photo
My photo
The eyeliner comes in a small glass jar with two sides (hence the Two-in-one); one with the upper eyeliner (black) and the under liner/shadow (gold).

Swatch Test:
Black Gel Liner

The liner has a very smooth application and it stick's well. From right to left in the picture, first is applied normally, middle is a thin line, and third is thick and smudged.
What I love about this gel liner is how sharp it looks when applied! It also stays like that pretty much all day, and stick's really well.
Gold Liner/ Shadow
The Gold Gel Liner is honestly both an eyeliner and an eye shadow. From the top, the first is normal application, bottom is when smudged. If applied lightly and in a thin line, it can be used as an under eyeliner. But I also use this as an eye shadow base (when smudged) because it stick's really well and helps to keep other eye shadows (that don't last as long) to have a longer wearing time.

Black gel liner applied on eye;  I didn't take any pictures of the gold liner.
Overall, I really love this gel liner! I would recommend using a very thin and/or angled eyeliner brush, if you want a thin defined eyeliner line. This gel liner get's thick very easily when using a regular eyeliner brush. It doesn't smudge easily and it stick's on all day.

『Makeup Tutorial』Sea Green Shine Makeup Look

Ciao! ^_^~

Sea Green Shine Makeup Look



This look is light and natural for a daytime, work, or school look, and at the same time it is fun and bright for a night/ going out look!

For this tutorial you will need:
Missha BB Cream No. 31 or other cream base makeup
e.l.f. Studio Eyeshadow Palette, Sei Bella Eyeshadow in No. 4649- Gold Finch, & L'Oréal Studio Secrets Eyeshadow Palette No. 822 Sand Dune- And an eye shadow brush
Missha Two in one Gel Liner and a small angled brush
Burt's Bees Red Dahlia Tinted Lip Balm, Estée Lauder Long Lasting Lip Rouge Pure Color 18- Bois de rose, and Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick No. 440- Cherries in the Snow


Step 1: Start with a clean face and apply your base makeup. For this tutorial I only applied Missha BB Cream (No. 31), to keep the look natural.

Step 2: 
Start with Missha Two in one Fit-in Gel liner, using a small angled brush line your upper lashline. Slightly wing the outer end of the eyeliner.
Then, start from the winged tip of the upper eyeliner, and line your lower lashline to the middle point of your lashline.
Step 3:
Blend Colors 1 and 2 from the e.l.f. Studio Eyeshadow Palette and Color 3 {Sei Bella Eyeshadow No. 4649 Gold Finch}
Then, apply to eyelid from the inner corner to the mid-point of your eyelid.
Next, blend colors 4 & 5 from the e.l.f. Studio Eyeshadow Palette and apply from the mid-point to the outer eyelid.
Lastly, blend the eyeshadow. Start from the outer corner and blend towards the center and along your crease.
Step 4:
Using the Gold Gel Liner {from Missha Two in one Fit-in Gel liner} apply this with an angled brush to your inner lower lashline.
Then, apply L'Oréal Studio Secrets Eye Palette No. 822 (Sand Dune) Color 1, to the inner corners of your eyes to brighten and highlight.
Last, you can blend out the eye shadow again to create a more even gradient effect.
Step 4: Apply Sei Bella Waterproof Defining Mascara in Black and the Eye look is complete!
Please ignore the lighting quality and my under-eye bags, I photographed this tutorial at 12 in the morning!
Step 5: Lipstick! The first time I did this look, I went for a redder lip color, but this time I wanted to try out a more pink lip color to keep this look fun and cute.
Start out by apply Burt's Bees Tinted Lip Balm in Red Dahlia.
Second, apply Estée Lauder Long-Lasting Lip Rouge Pure Color (No. 18)- Bois de rose
Third, apply Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in No. 440 (Cherries in the Snow) and blend using a lip brush.
And that's it!
Finished look!
The sea green eye shadow color, really brightens and enhances the green in Hazel eyes!
Original Look- With a deeper red lip color

See you next time! ^_^~

I will start a new makeup series based on travel! If you would like somewhere from your country to be featured, leave a comment or send me an email at: joliehanaemi@gmail.com!
