Review - Em Cosmetic | pillow plush | cushiony lip balm | Berries.

Harrow pretty earthlings! I recently purchased Em Cosmetic's pillow plush cushiony lip balm from a dear friend. You can find her on Instagram with the name @lysfairebar (click for the link!), She carries other brands like 3CE, NARS and etcetera.

The shade that I got the lip balm in is Berries, a plum, deep purple shade. The packaging, like all the other Em products, is themed white (mostly). 



It's buttery and smells like vanilla lollipop (nomZ). It is said on Em's official website that it can be applied as a normal lip balm, or as a primed/prepped canvas prior to applying your lipstick at a later time. So you actually get a moisturising lip balm...and a lip primer! Here are some swatches.



(L-R) One swipe, two and then three, with natural lighting.



With LED white lighting.

As can be seen above, it is somewhat..build-able. Build-able in a sense that one layer will give a subtle tint, whilst on the other hand, if you find the need to apply more or pack on more, you will end up with a more pigmented layer. You can either play it subtle or amp your look up by applying more layers!

There are other shades available on my friend's IG (@lysfairebar). Check them out if you're interested! Hope this post can help you in your decision :). Thank you for reading!

Bronzed.

Hi everyone! I attended a wedding last fortnight and I did a look which is always my all-time favourite, featuring my all-time favourite shade, brown! I think this will suit most eye colors because you can always either play it up by packing more eyeshadow, or warm it down by putting on less initially. Without further ado, here are what I used :)

Face/Base




  • Benefit the POREfessional primer
  • Yves Saint Lauret Le Teint Touche Éclat foundation
  • NYX Above & Beyond Coverage concealer
  • Rimmel Stay Matte pressed powder

Eyes


  • Em Cosmetics Shade Play in Bali Bronzes
    • Shade 1 on the inner corner, shades 2+3 on centre of eyelids and 4 on the outer V. Blend appropriately to ensure that there are no harsh edges.
  • Shu Eumura eyelash curler
  • Maybelline The Rocket mascara
  • Dolly Wink liquid eyeliner in Deep Black
  • Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz in Ebony

Lips


  • NYX soft matte lip cream in Prague

Brush

(Right to left)
  • Sigma F82 round kabuki brush [to apply foundation]
  • Sigma F30 large powder brush [to set foundation with powder]
  • Sigma E40 tapered blending brush [to blend eyeshadows]
  • Sigma E55 eyeshading brush [to apply eyeshadows]

When all is put together....
