Review | Makeupbyevon x Memebox #HDReady Cream Matte Lipstick Set

DSC_6127

Let me start off by saying that matte lipsticks are not my thing. Based on my previous experiences (ahem Etude House), my impressions of matte cream lip products were that they're drying with an uncomfortable powdery finish.  So yeah, I'm not a fan. Bet you can guess my assumptions for this product, can't you?

These #HDReady Cream Matte Lipsticks by Makeupbyevon x Memebox were released quite a few months ago during the summer. When I first received them, I was prepared for the worst. BUT boy was I wrong. Although I'm still team glossy lipsticks, I'm starting to think that matte lipsticks aren't all that bad. In fact, some are actually pretty good. Like the ones I'm reviewing today.


Review | su:m37º Miracle Rose Cleansing Stick

DSC_6196

Hello everyone!

 Many of you probably recognize this product already, since it's been highly raved about the past year or so. I can't remember how many reviews I've read where people praised the product as a miracle cleanser. Perhaps for many people it does live up to its name, the su:m37º Miracle Rose Cleansing Stick, but I stopped buying into its hype long ago. The reason for that is because sometime late in the spring last year, back when this cleansing stick was at the peak of its fame, my blogger friends and I each bought one, hoping that it would be an amazing product like everyone else said it was. Sad to say, we were fairly disappointed. I stopped using mine after about 2 weeks, and forgot all about it until Memebox sent me another one to review, to which I thought 'Why not?' After all, even products deserve a second chance. So what were my thoughts on the Miracle Rose Cleansing Stick the second time around? Read on to find out!


[CLOSED] K-Beauty GIVEAWAY from the Streets of Seoul (US only)

Title2

Hey girls, guess what time is it?

IT'S GIVEAWAY TIME!
Also- Happy Thanksgiving to everyone in the U.S.!

With the holiday season upon us, I've decided to hold a small giveaway with some products that I picked up in Seoul for you guys!! This is my thank you gift to all my readers who have stuck with me and continue to read my blog posts despite my long breaks between each post. The prize consists of mostly skincare, some makeup, and a ton of samples and sheet masks. Also, because it is the holidays, chocolates and some other festive treats are included as well!

A quick note- I made a new Instagram just for the blog! I'll be posting way more often on this new Instagram than the one I used before, so please follow me @gloriausdays for review previews, announcements, updates, etc.!

Without further ado here are the prizes:

The Elizavecca Carbonated Bubble Clay Mask has been extremely popular the past year, and when I was in Seoul I saw stacks of this mask almost everywhere I went. So, without I doubt I knew I had to include it in this giveaway.

This mist smells so good. When I tried it out in the store, I immediately bought two- one for myself and another to give away. I normally don't like mists because they leave a sticky or tacky feeling on my skin (I'm looking at you, Innisfree Green Tea Mist), but this one just feels very refreshing and slightly moisturizing. Also, it has a very fine spray, which is a must for me when it comes to mists!

I was dragged into Beyond one day by one of the SA's, and I have to say I'm glad she forced me to go into the store. Otherwise, I would've never found one of my current favorite tints! After using the Beyond Aqua Tinted Rouge for a few days, I knew I had to add this to the giveaway because this tint is amazing. It's pigmented, moisturizing, and long-lasting. If that doesn't qualify it as a good tint, then I don't know what would. The one I'm giving away (and also own) is 07 Rose Red, which is a gorgeous shade that would look flattering on any skin tone.

I found this when I was walking in Sinsadong one day and came across the then-recently opened Skinfood Cafe. For those of you are or will be in Seoul, definitely check it out! It's located on Garosu-gil. There are three stories and the first floor is a shop where you can buy Skinfood products that you can't find anywhere else (like this variety mask pack I'm giving away!). The pack consists of 8 different types of Skinfood masks that either cleanse, moisturize, or exfoliate your skin. It's almost like a miniature mask bar- sans alcohol.

And of course, what would Korean cosmetics shopping be without the plethora of free samples? And sheet masks! Pictured here is a over half of the samples I received while shopping in Korea, which is all going to be a part of this giveaway. Some of the sheet masks were purchased by me, while others were shoved into my hands as I was walking around Myeongdong.

Last of all, for the chocolates, I will personally go and buy them depending on the winner's preferences, hence why there aren't any pictured here. I know some people prefer dark, milk, white, etc. And some people have allergies or dislike certain flavors. So for now, what the actual chocolates are are unknown, but it'll most likely be a chocolate gift box, a few bars of chocolate, and possibly something else!

I hope you guys like the selections of this giveaway~

All prizes pictured were bought with money out of my own pocket and not sponsored nor gifted to me in any way, shape, or form. I'm doing this giveaway out of genuine appreciation for everything you guys have done, such as following and reading my blog even though I'm lacking still in various aspects as a blogger. Without all of you this blog wouldn't have made it to where it is today!

Unfortunately, due to time and money restraints (the cons of being a high school student), this giveaway will be open to U.S. residents only. Sorry international readers, but I promise that there is something in the works for you guys in the future! To guarantee that the winner receives the package by Christmas, this giveaway ends on December 14 at 11:59 PST. The rules are simple:

1. Follow me on Bloglovin'
2. Follow me on Instagram @gloriausdays

Everything else is optional and can be done for additional entries to increase your chances of winning. Just remember, no cheating. I do go through all the entries to ensure that that doesn't happen, and anyone who is found cheating will be disqualified. Let's keep this giveaway fun and fair for everyone!
