KATE TOKYO Cosmetics haul

KATE TOKYO Cosmetics haul






These are my recent beauty finds. First of all, they are affordable as it is, but what sold me these was the 20% off at the counter deal. 







BB Cream! 





What I liked about this brand is that they have a wider select of colors than what I am used to. I think they have 5 colors to choose from and I got OC-B which is like the second to the lightest color from the range. To be honest, the middle color matches me better but I remember that I used to have foundations oxidize on my skin so I was like, a tad lighter won't hurt. Still matches.  










I don't usually buy/use foundation but bought this just in case I actually have to use one.  










Also bought concealer because I thought that if I would wear foundation, might as well do a full coverage routine. Is that bad? Haha anyways, I didn't bought the finishing powder because I believe that the powder I have would be able to do the same thing. Also, too much. That's all!

Japanese Drugstore Lippies

Japanese Drugstore Lippies

These are refills from the drugstore and for some reason, though I often buy these lipsticks as pasalubongs to my mom's friends (not my money), I haven't seen the actual packaging from these brands. And I actually don't care that much. I agree that these would be hard if you have like, millions of lipsticks and trying to determine which is which but if you're like me that actually doesn't have a lot, then I don't think it matters. 


I can't read what the color is on the left so you be the judge when I saw you the swatch of the actual color but on the left side, it's orange something. KANJI IS DIFFICULT.


I actually like the idea of refills because for several reasons, first of all, it's cheaper. That's actually all. LOL. I don't know but it's just more practical and yeah. I think most women in Japan finish their lipsticks so they could have like the original container and then put their new tube or something.


I have only used this from the two and I love it. It's not so opaque so it's perfect for me. I don't know if you can appreciate the shimmers but that too is awesome! :D I don't usually like shimmers because I can somehow feel it but this one is like just right and yeah. Perf! This lipstick is under the MOISTURE lipstick and I don't really know for sure because I put a moisturizer before applying but it goes on quite well when I swatched it but I don't know if that's actually just the same as when applying on the lips.


The shape of Chifure lipstick is actually quite interesting because instead of just having one side flat, two sides are flat. Meh. LOL. Really though. I think that's brilliant because if you're in a hurry, you wouldn't find the right side of the tube anymore or something. Just do it!


I really like the Cezanne one! But give the picture another look and you would see than the application of the Chifure is kind of thinner than that of Cezanne so I'm assuming that it would give more precision and yeah. Also, the Chifure is kin of true to its color and although shimmery, it's opaque. So I might be able to just top that with a more pinkish balm or lipgloss of some sort. Anyways, that's my opinion and yeah. Have a nice day y'all!

Cosme Decorte Angelic Fantasy

Cosme Decorte Angelic Fantasy

I have told you guys before that I am not a big fan of eye shadows. Because you know, I don't have a place to put the shadows on. But never the less, there are occassions when I feel like extra glamorous and would bother putting them on. I am extremely traumatized by bold colors so when I saw this palate, it was just perf! 


I like how they put labels on this things. Although I'm not really gonna follow this. I think I would just "wash my eyelid" with a certain color and then go. One thing I noticed is that it's so so sparkly. Like, this thing just goes everywherez. Anyways.


I don't know what I feel about the packaging. It's so simple but also it looks kind of classy. I don't know what I feel about it really. My other side is telling me it looks so complicated and cheap. Anyways.


It came in with little applicators which I still don't know how to use and provided I don't have all the tools and stuff to apply these colors on, I would just use my clean fingers and that might be a little more comvenient to do.


The swatch I did. Beautoful colors. So wearable. I like!! I might buy a primer or something so the glitters wouldn't actually fall anywhere. Anyways that's all I have for you. Have a good day!! :)

Peau Belle Concealer. Review.

Peau Belle Concealer. Review.

I had this concealer since last year I believe and I've been using it ever since. I like it. It feels kind of light and yeah kind of velvety when you're applying it and stuff. My mom bought it from Japan but judging from the name of it, it doesn't sound like it came from Japan or something. I actually didn't bother to clean the tube. So yeah as you can see, it's pretty messy. Oh well. LOL. I actually never heard of this brand  before or whatever but yeah.


I  don't know if you can see it but it costs 300 yen and that's a pretty good deal for such product and stuff. And it's made in Taiwan. I'm confused right now. Anyways.

It comes in a gold kind of packaging. The packaging is not bad but nothing really special about it either. It comes with an applicator stick and it's really pretty easy to apply. What I do is that I put a little product at the back of my hand and warm it up by mixing it a little bit there and apply it to my problem areasssssssssssss so yeah. It's kind of easier that way than to actually apply it directly to the problem area and to kind of blend it there. I don't know.

SWATCH
It's takes quite a long time for this product to dry so you might want to dry it first before you apply another layer and stuff. It's a medium coverage concealer but you can add another layer or probably layers to achieve a fuller coverage.

I've actually used this concealer as a foundation quite a lot of times too. Just because it really feels good on and stuff. Luckily, I haven't had a problem with it or anything so yeah.
