[ 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 ] 首爾 Claren 牙齒美白貼

一天飲夠8杯水是很重要的. 我一天可以飲到8杯水, 但當中茶/咖啡佔了6杯以上.所以, 牙齒少不免會有點黃….這個美白牙貼是我貪新鮮在首爾旅行時在OLIVE YOUNG買的, 記得價位大約是HK$60一盒,比起在香港買到的便宜許多.(本來沒有打算寫短評, 因為感覺這個便宜的東東,都未必有效.)但用上了兩天,感覺白了一點.立即托友人再買~!

8 glasses of water a day is one of the key to beautiful skin. I am able to take 8 glasses of water everyday, however 6 of them are tea / coffee. I notice my teeth got stained a little bit and look pretty yellowish. I bought this Claren teeth whitening pack at Olive Young Store at Seoul last winter. The price point was pretty affordable, it was around HK$60. Compared to those available in Hong Kong, it is almost one-fifth of the price! I was not planned to write any review on this as I did not expect any dramatic whitening effect from such an affordable product. However, I was able to see visible whitening result after 2 consecutive days usage! ( I already asked my friend to buy more for me during her trip to Seoul during late May)

 

我入手的是這個樣子的, 如果大家上G MARKET,可能找到不同樣子/ 升級版.但我相信用法大同小異.打開後,會有說明書(全泡菜文….), 一個美白計及8片美白牙貼. 我上網爬文看到用法如下: 打開牙貼,缺口位向著牙肉,對正中間,貼好~!貼上一小時就可以撕走, 之後要刷牙.撕走後,覺得牙齒有點黏黏的,所以要刷牙. 要連續使用,方可以見到效果~!(用法很方便, 美白貼可以緊貼牙齒.我是上下排一起貼,一盒8片可以用4次.)

This is the version I got and there are lots of different version when you browse on G market. There is a instruction guide leaflet (all in Korean…..), a teeth whitening scale guide and 8 pieces of the tooth whitening pack. I learned the application from some internet blog post. When you open the tooth whitening pack, follow the sticking direction (avoid touching your gum). Firmly pressed the pack towards your tooth to make sure there is no air bubble. Wait for an hour and remove. Brush your teeth after removing the whitening pack. (There would be some sticky feeling on your teeth after removing the pack. I guess there’s why I have to brush my teeth afterwards.) It is suggested to use for consecutive days. I think it is pretty user friendly and easy to use. I use the whitening pack on both upper and lower part of the teeth so it make total 4 day treatment.

第一天量度,我覺得自己大概在8-10 的亮白度.用了兩天之後,明顯覺得亮白了! 這兩天都有飲咖啡, 不過是一杯起,兩杯止.有人COMMENT說用了之後牙齒酸痛 / 敏感, 不過我沒有這個感覺. (我本身是輕微敏感性牙齒,用了這個之後,敏感的感覺沒有加劇~!)

Before the treatment, I think my teeth is at 8 – 10 scale. I believe there is visible effect after 2 day usage! ( I had 1 to 2 cups of coffee during these 2 days but no tea consumption.) I saw some of the people would complained that this whitening pack made them has sensitive teeth / gum. However I did not find such side effect. ( I have slightly sensitive teeth and I did not find my situation go worse after using this product)
