[ Mini Review 短評 ] 3CE Lip Pigment (調色唇彩) & Lip Lacquer (唇彩)

3CE 真的是很火紅的韓國彩妝品牌! 人人去到都要朝聖一下.( 3CE 是STYLENADA 旗下的化妝品牌) 今天要一次過試4枝唇部產品! (其實都買了一陣子, 不過一直都沒有做blog post)

3CE has been raved by lots of Asia beauty guru! Whenever they go to Seoul, they need to check out the 3CE store~! (FYI, 3CE is a cosmetic brand under stylenada) Here comes mini review of FOUR lip products from 3CE!

Lip lacquer (唇彩) – backstage (紅色) & super coral (珊瑚色)

Lip lacquer (唇彩)的掃頭是斜斜的,很貼嘴唇角度, 用起上來很方便. Backstage 是一個”Red Carpet Red”, 是有點復古或glam up 的大紅顏色. 而super coral 是偏紅的珊瑚色,日常用都很自然!

Lip lacquer is actually a lip gloss. The angled application helps your application on lips, it gives a pretty precise application. Backstage is totally an On Stage / Red Carpet red. It is an easy way to glam up your makeup look or gives you a vintage look. Super coral is a pinky-coral, very wearable in daily occasions.

上手後,顏色都很true to colour, 一層已經可以遮到唇色.剛剛用後是很水潤玻璃感,不會覺得很乾.但是不會有sticky 的感覺~! (很怕會黏嘴的lip gloss…..)大約一至兩個小時後,便會沒有了水潤玻璃感,反而是粉粉乾乾的感覺, 更顯得是matte finish.(不沒有食入唇紋的)如果要補妝的話,我建議用透明lip balm 去加添水潤光澤.這個會有stain 的感覺. Backstage 的顏色可以維持到一整天. 而super coral 則會更顯自然.

I would say these lip glosses are very true to colour. It is so opaque so to cover your lip cover by just one layer! It leaves a glossy finish at first without sticky feeling! It will soon turn to semi-matte finish is one to two hours. It feels little bit dry or powdery. If you need a little touch up, I suggest to put on a glossy lip balm on top. I love the stain it leave behind which makes the colour more wearable and natural!

Lip Pigment (調色唇彩) – electro pink (亮粉紅)& mink beige (祼色)

Lip Pigment (調色唇彩)說得是調色,這個可以單用或是混合使用.我買了一個是亮粉紅色,單塗會有點太超過.(不過其實用作咬唇妝都不錯~!)而mink beige 是祼色,單用會有一點兒病態.這個packaging 有點似顏料,不建議直接上嘴,可以先擠出,再輕輕用手指印上嘴或用掃上掃上.(*注意, 這個electro pink 是在sasa 買入,一買的時候, 接口已經爆開.不過我見沒有影響到入面的product, 我便只是用glue stick 好就算了.所以這個接口有點黃黃的glue,請見諒)

Lip pigment can be use alone or use to mixed with other lip products. Electro pink is a bright pink colour, which makes it difficult to use alone. (indeed it is perfect for ombre lips look!) Mink beige is totally a nature beige colour, however if you use it alone, you would look like you are sick. I think this lip pigment looks like some ink / oil painting paint. I DO NOT recommend to direct apply on the lips. Instead, I would squeeze it out from the tube and dapping it on my lips with my fingers / lip brush.( I bought this electro pink from Sasa (Hong Kong Local beauty Store). The tube wasn’t stick tight when I first opened. But I was not bother to exchange the product as I think it still work the same. I just glue the tube that’s why you see the yellowish glue at the side…)

這個調色唇彩是有點牙膏狀, 塗開後,會有輕微光澤感/ 半啞緻感覺.同樣,一兩個小時後,會變粉粉乾乾的. 這個同樣會有stain 的感覺.(因為沒有輕輕推開,真接用的話,用久後掉色就會有點不平均)

The lip pigment is toothpaste like texture. When you smooth it out, it is in semi-matte finish. After 1 – 2 hours, it also turn into powdery feeling. (If you did not apply it evenly, it would wear out a bit patchy.)

同場加映, 因為這個是用作調色.我把electro pink (亮粉紅)& mink beige (祼色) 混合後,便得到一個很自然的粉膚色~!兩種混合後,不會影響到本身的質感,同樣是會有輕微光澤感!正~!

I tried to blend the electro pink & mink beige and it gives a very nice pinky coral colour! I love this mixed coulour so much!

Overall, 兩種產品都很不錯.顯色度很高!! 不過乾後的粉粉感覺有點奇怪.但持久力,顯色度都一流! 而且價位不高,可以入手一試~!

Overall, I love how these lip products turn out as they are true to colour! However, I am not the fan of the powdery dry finish. Indeed, the staying power of these lip products are so well and the price point are pretty affordable. You shall go ahead and try if you interested!

[ MINI REVIEW 短評] 一抹嫣紅之Sleek Blush by 3 (LACE)

早前到了london 一遊,心想要試一試drugstore products. (其實很想很想買charlotte tilbury, 但還是忍手了…..) Sleek 算是中價品牌,性價比高, 所以一向都受人追捧.我也入手了幾件products. 現在先review 一下blush by three (Lace).

I went to London for a short trip in February and wanted to try some drugstore products. (Actually I wanted to try Charlotte Tilbury too, but I didn’t went for it.....) Sleek is counted as mid-range in drug store and being famous for its exceptional high quality. I have bought a few products and let me review the Blush by Three – Lace first.

Blush by 3 是一盒三色的胭脂. 根據色號, 有些胭脂是cream 狀, 有些是粉狀. 大家要小心選購! 由於保存期限, 我是傾向買粉狀的.

The blush texture varies across the different palette, some are cream blushes, and some are powder blushes. For the sake of product longevity, I prefer powder blush to cream one.

Lace 是偏珊瑚色的胭脂. 由左至右:

Lace palette leans on coral tone, from left to right:

Crochet左邊的是橙調珊瑚色 (Matte Orange Coral)

Chantilly中間是有閃粉的淺橙色. (Light coral with shimmers)

Chantilly右邊是粉紅色. (Pink-Coral tone)

試色時感到粉質非常好,而且顯色度很高. (新手注意要輕手一點了.) 持久度尚好, 大約4 -5 小時. 我是在LONDON 的 boots 購買. 但如果大家有興趣,可以直接到官網購買. 因為SLEEK有 international delivery 的. 而且運費合理, 不會太心痛~

I love the texture of this blush as it is pretty buttery. You are able to see the good colour payoff from the just a simple swipe. (Special handling is required for the new makeup lovers!) The lasting power is average which can be hold up to about 5 hours. I totally fall in love with this palette and I wish Hong Kong will have more choice on the affordable makeup! I bought this at the Boots @ London. If you wish to buy Sleek products, you may go to their official website to have a look. Sleek offers international delivery with a reasonable delivery charge!

[ MINI REVIEW 短評] 平價版EVE LOM!? - Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish

因為之前爬文, 說這個CLEANSER 是平價版 EVE LOM. 小資女當然心動,想試一試平價版! 同時, YOUTUBER Elizabeth Yeoung 都有推介. 所以在LONDON 時便決定入手一試!

I have heard a lot of good things about Liz Earle. Some review even mentioned that Liz Earle is compactable with Eve Lom. With a fraction of price, you are able to get the effect of Eve Lom!? I doubt but I think it’s worth trying.

 

買了CLEANSE & POLISH, CLEANSER本身是企身的膏狀, 乾手乾面,用於面, 頸及眼部, 按摩一下. (不會起泡的) 你會慢慢感覺到它會慢慢溶解彩妝及臉上的污垢. 之後把附贈的MUSLIM CLOTH 濕溫水. 再輕輕抹走 (使用MUSLIN CLOTH 可以達到溫和磨砂的效果喔!) 因為是帶CREAMY的質感, 用後臉部不會緊繃. 但真的要注意慢慢按摩, 及要仔細清洗.

Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish is a TWO-STEP cleanser. It is a non foarming creamy textured balm. I would massage on my dry face, neck and eye. Really work it in to break down the makeup and remove impurities on my face. Afterwards, soak the muslin cloth in the lukewarm water and wipe off the cleanser. The texture muslin cloth and wiping motion help to gently exfoliate the skin. Since it is in cream texture, it would not dry out my skin. My skin also feels soft after using the cleanser!

我一般用在早上用, 因為覺得效果溫和. 冬天時配上溫熱的MUSLIN CLOTH,更是一絶~ 好幸福!!!

I love using this cleanser in the winter morning for gentle cleansing. The massage and warmth from the muslin cloth make me feel like having a spa!

官網說可以用於卸妝, 甚至是MASCARA. 我們可以做一些小測試! 手上有眼線筆,粉底,眼影及唇膏.

Liz Earle claim that it can “removes all traces of face and eye make up, even stubborn mascara”. Lets put it into little test, I have put eyeliner, foundation, eye shadow & lipstick on the back of my hand.

我就覺得卸妝力很好, 底妝,眼影及唇膏是可以卸到的. 去到眼線部分,卸到7,8成,但有點吃力,真的要按摩,按摩,按摩…….

Indeed I was being impressed of the cleansing power as it is able to remove my face makeup and eye shadow. With the hot cloth and the special scent of the product, it feels like you are having spa! However, when it comes to waterproof eyeliner, there is still little stain leaving behind. I really need to be patient and work it in thus to remove most of the eyeliner.

這個CREAMY TEXTURE 的CLEANSER 絶對是適合乾肌及中性肌. 混合肌,就真的要小心使用,因為如果沒有清潔乾淨,就會很容易有暗粒. 油性肌的話,冬天使用沒有問題. 但夏天應該不行了.

If you are dry skin, this creamy cleanser totally suit you. If you are combination skin type, you are recommended to rinse your skin thoroughly to avoid any breakouts. If you are oil skin, I believe this product is too heavy for the spring and summer time.

LIZ EARLE 在指定的BOOTS 發售. 同時可以在官網購買, 有INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING, 但要付一定運費~

If you wish to purchase Liz Earle products, you are able to find them in selected boots outlets. To avoid any hassle, you are able to buy their products from Liz Earle Official website (with international delivery service).
