Korean Cosmetics Haul

Recently I got a couple of new Korean products to try out over the holidays that I thought I'd share! I purchased:

Etude House Dear My Party Nails Polish #PPK002
Etude House Water Color Blusher #04 Lilac
Holika Holika Wonder Drawing 24HR Auto Eyebrow #03 Light Brown

I've been looking for a rose-gold glitter nail polish with no luck, however I stumbled across this gorgeous pink glitter shade from the Dear My Party Nails line from Etude House. The packaging is soo cute! I was expecting the shade to appear quite sheer on the nails, however I used 2 thick coats under a nude base and it was surprisingly quite opaque. A lovely pink glitter polish if you are looking for one!

Lately I've been really into lilacs, and after seeing a Baby Face makeup look on Get it Beauty using this blusher I knew I had to try it out! The tube is tiny, you only get 10ml of product but a little goes a long way with this blusher. The concept for the packaging is so cute and unique, although I do fear getting it mixed up with my acrylic paints! Colour pay off is good and looks really lovely on fairer complexions.

Next up is the Holika Holika Wonder Drawing auto eyebrow. I've (shockingly) never been into eyebrows, particularly as my eyebrows are naturally very full. However, I thought I'd give this a go as it was so cheap. As you can see, there is an eyebrow spoolie on one end, and the other contains the twist up eyebrow stick. When swatching I found it hard to get a strong colour to appear, and the formula is quite waxy. But this makes it much easier to apply as you can build up the colour, and the lasting power is pretty good!

 Here's a swatch  of the blusher and eyebrow stick~

Definitely looking forward to trying out more Korean products in the future!

AVON Cosmetics Haul

I'm back after a little hiatus with a tiny haul from Avon. I'm not a huge fan of Avon cosmetics, but some of their products are amazing and staples in my makeup collection. With Christmas around the corner, I decided to try out some new products to compliment the festive season.

First, I bought an Avon Nailwear Pro+ Nail Enamel in the shade Golden Vision. This is a lovely pale gold colour, almost a champagne colour I would say. In the brochure it appeared very yellow/gold but it's definitely a paler shade. In the swatch below I applied 2 coats. Really cannot go wrong with Avon nail polishes as they are very affordable and almost always have great colour pay-off and staying power. 

My other purchase was the Avon Glimmerstick Diamonds eyeliner in the shade Golden Diamond. Despite its name, this is much more of a yellow based gold. I like this colour as it is much more subtle and natural compared to a true gold colour. I can see this working really well for creating aegyo-sal on the lower eye area, or maybe as a highlight for the inner corners. 
 

Overall I'm super impressed with these products. I can't wait to try out the eyeliner!
