SWATCH + REVIEW FEATURING INGA's Secret Brush Liner ⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬ • Packaging  : 5/5 • Smell  : 5/5 • Application  : 7/5 • Comfort  : 5/5 • Texture  : 5/5 • Longevity  : 7/5 /VERDICT/ Packaging is really one of the trademarks of beauty products from Korean brands, no matter how small or big the product is, they make sure that the products has their own individual boxes and this one was no exception. Its box has a very nice print but they were able to still keep the minimalist design that INGA is known for. The only thing is that, it doesn’t have English translation for the ingredients. In terms of smell, it doesn’t have any particular scent to it which I’m in favor as I have a very sensitive nose when it comes to products I put on my face. And I have encountered other eyeliners that has a very distinct permanent marker smell to them. I’m not the best when it comes to applying eyeliners and I’m used to...

SWATCH + REVIEW FEATURING murir's Hard Formula Style Brow ⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬ • Packaging  : 4.8/5 • Smell  : 5/5 • Application  : 5/5 • Comfort  : 5/5 • Texture  : 5/5 • Longevity  : 5/5 /VERDICT/ The packaging of this product is pretty, it has a separate box and a brochure which features Murir’s other products. And that’s a good way of introducing the brand to those who’s just new to their brand. The container is unique as it is shiny and slim, the shade of green they chose for this product is gorgeous and nice to look at. The only downside is that the box didn’t have any English translations to it with regards the product itself, but Charis has that covered because they have all the important details translated into English on the product ad. In terms of scent, it doesn’t have any smell to it. And I don’t expect it to have any, either. Because it’s an eyebrow pencil and scent would be unnecessary...

SWATCH + REVIEW FEATURING Skin Foundry's Pocket Blush ⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬ • Packaging  : 5/5 • Smell  : 5/5 • Application  : 5/5 • Comfort  : 5/5 • Texture  : 7/5 • Longevity  : 5/5 /VERDICT/ After a year, I’m reviewing about this again. The packaging is a little different than the  Pocket Blushes before when it comes to the sticker labels which are now bigger, the print on the label which is improved and the container is also revamped with ridges on the sides of the cover but it can still fit in your pocket and give extra colors on your face. The smell is the same scent I fell in love with it before, the fruity sweet gum that I used to bug my parents to buy me when I was a little girl. Not too much of a strong scent which is better as compared to those with very distinct scent. I always prefer the mild scented ones just like these babies! With regards its application, it’s st...
