SWATCH + REVIEW FEATURING VYVYDSTUDIO's Cheek Flash Blusher ⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬ • Packaging  : 5/5 • Smell  : 5/5 • Application  : 5/5 • Comfort  : 5/5 • Texture  : 5/5 • Longevity  : 5/5 /VERDICT/ The packaging, once again, caught my eye and it’s really something that VYVYDSTUDIO never failed to accomplish which is to catch my attention with their unique packaging. From the box, to the container itself. It just wows me every time. The combination of the colors they used for the box are not the usual colors you get to see from other brands because it’s very vibrant, but VYVYDSTUDIO is able to pull off. In contrast with the box’s vibrancy is the simplicity of the content. Where the blush is housed in is really pretty with its textured cover and weighted so it doesn’t feel and look flimsy at all. The blush itself also has the iconic lightning logo of the brand pressed on it. In terms of its scent, it does...

SWATCH + REVIEW FEATURING HANSKIN's Blemish Cover ⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬ • Packaging  : 5/5 • Smell  : 5/5 • Application  : 5/5 • Comfort  : 5/5 • Texture  : 5/5 • Longevity  : 4/5 /VERDICT/ Starting off with the packaging as it is the first one that we really see when it comes to new products; the box and tube has a matching light grey color and very similar print but the only difference is that the tube has a silver cap and the box, on the other hand, has all the details you need to know about the product in English which is something I always point out when it comes to packaging. Moving on to its scent, I have no complains about it as it doesn’t smell any different from the concealers I have tried before so it wasn’t out of the ordinary, it’s just the typical scent that a concealer would have. Applying this on areas where I needed to conceal was alright. It’s very easy to blend properly and really fits in...

SWATCH + REVIEW FEATURING SelfCoding's Code : Red Soft Lipsticks ⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬ • Packaging  : 6/5 • Smell  : 5/5 • Application  : 6/5 • Comfort  : 5/5 • Texture  : 6/5 • Longevity  : 5/5 /VERDICT/ When I first saw these, my initial observation was the packaging look very classy with its individual clear plastic boxes and the container of the lipsticks itself look very minimalist. The box has both Korean and English translations with regards the product’s important information. The container of the lipsticks has a frosted cap with the brand name directly printed on it with a white font and a solid white base which gives a simple vibe and clean look to it. The inside of the container where the lipstick is placed and twisted is transparent and you can really see that the amount of lipstick inside is a lot and I meticulously observed all 6 shades and they have the same amounts...

SWATCH + REVIEW FEATURING Milk Touch's Touch My Lip ⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬ • Packaging  : 5/5 • Smell  : 5/5 • Application  : 5/5 • Comfort  : 5/5 • Texture  : 5/5 • Longevity  : 5/5 /VERDICT/ First off, let’s talk about the packaging. It came with a box which is very common with K-Beauty products. The color is very girly and it has very minimal prints on it which is just some letters in black but what made it unique is that, it looks like a milk carton which I find really cute. However, it doesn’t have any English translation of the ones written in Korean, aside from the brand name, product name and shade. The container is very simple as well, matches with the color of the box and again, only has minimal English words on it. Moving on to its scent, it’s very mild and sweet. I’m actually a fan of it because it smells so familiar but I can’t seem to figure out where I’ve enco...
