I picked up 3 items from the collection as I definitely do not need anymore makeup :3...

❥ Berry Delicious Fantastic Color Eyes - Strawberry Fondue |  http://ebay.to/1pP0pH2
❥ Berry Delicious Fresh Cream Bluser - #3 Grapefruit Strawberry | http://ebay.to/1RClNVH
❥ Berry Delicious Color in Liquid Lips - RD302 | http://ebay.to/1RsgJ7m

• Has a very interesting texture. It's cream but can be difficult to pick up any product
• Comes with a more rubbery cushion sponge type of applicator to help pick up product easier
• I still prefer to use a brush as it is easier to control where I want to apply the product
• Smells DIVINE! Almost like Asian fruit candies
• Color compliments my yellowy light/medium skin very nicely

• Jelly texture
• Creates gradients easily
• Smells like strawberry candies
• Poor lasting power but stains lips well
• Shiny finish but not overly glossy

Swatch of the Color in Liquid Lips in RD306 Berry Plum Squeeze & the Cream Blusher in #3 Grapefruit Jelly

Lastly we have Etude House's latest addition to their limited edition 6 pan palettes. They came out with 2 different palettes but I was attracted to the sweet pink shades which is rare of me since I'm not even a fan of the color pink.

Fantastic Color Eyes - Strawberry Fondue Palette has 6 beautiful shades but unfortunately powdery in texture. I feel like their single shadows tend to be better formulated but the shadows are quite smooth and easily blended.

• Shadows work well together
• Good mix of glitter/shimmer and matte shades
• Easy to travel with
• Good mirror
• Decent pigmentation

Hello everyone! Long time no post right?! As you can probably tell from the re-branding of my blog, I decided to stream line a majority of my social media usernames so I am now ahmeenda.blogspot.com. My riceysupreme posts are still around but going forward, I'll be continuing from the new username ^^.

Anyways, today's post is going to be a review on the Peripera Peri's Ink Lip Tint that I've had for awhile and figured it was a decent comeback post. Hope you find my review and swatches helpful!

Let's get right into the review!



Price: $6-8 USD / I got mine from ebay seller: beautynetkorea
Contains: 8grams
Applicator: Soft flexible sponge applicator
Packaging: Hard plastic  'dropper' bottle (super cute but the dropper like appearance is just for looks)



Main Claims: Long wearing Tattoo- like stain  / Light Weight / Vivid color

There are 5 colors available and all of them are indeed vivid and beautiful! I choose #3 No Way because oranges tend to look better on me.



Pigmentation: The pigmentation for this is no joke. It is super opaque but it is also buildable. You can sheer it out for a light tint and create a gradient or you can apply it full force. It can get a bit patchy if you don't work quickly because it dries fast!



Finish: It claims to have a shiny finish and it definitely does! It isn't matte

Longevity: It will EASILY last all day if I exfoliate my lips prior. I would say it lasts 4 - 6 hours before fading. I do find if my lips are dry, the color does come off because my lips are all dry and gross ><.

This stuff is also fairly transfer proof/ kiss proof! The downside is when this stuff dries... it dries. It is SO DIFFICULT to remove this stuff OMG. I usually use coconut oil to remove my makeup but it is a struggle even with oil. They do sell a remover with this line but I haven't tried it.

Ignore my vein y hands XD

Consistency: It's a light liquid formulation that is very comfortable on the lips. It is a bit tacky even after it dries though.

Moisturizing?: It doesn't have any claims of having moisturizing properties and I do find it isn't super drying. It also isn't the most moisturizing tint out there.

PROS: Long lasting / pigmented / buildable / comfortable to wear / fairly transfer proof

CONS: Hard to remove / a bit drying / application can get a little patchy

Overall it is a great tint and if you're like me and are constantly snacking and drinking beverages, this is definitely an interesting product to try out because of the formulation. It does have it's downsides and is INCREDIBLY hard to remove (the tattoo claim is definitely true!!!) but if you're willing to go through the trouble, I'd say give it a go!

1 full layer on ^__^

If any of you guys have tried this before, let me know what you think of it! I'd love to know how it worked on other people. What are your favorite lip tints?

HELLO * echo - echo *  Long time no blog! It has been almost 2 years since I updated my blog but I'm thinking of firing it back up! Youtube videos kind of took over my life after I started my channel but there is something about blogs that I truly miss. In an attempt to streamline my urls/usernames and stay somewhat consistent, I decided to change my url to ahmeenda.blogspot.com.  I also realize that my blog currently looks like a hot mess so I definitely want to give it a nice face lift and make it nice and neat. If anyone still follows me, thank you for sticking around ^__^V Hope to see you guys soon! For now, you can find me reguarly posting on my Youtube channel which is linked off to the side in the side bar area. Take care & bye for now ~ Amanda

Hey there everyone! I have pretty much obssessed with this particular nail polish/color ever since I got it last month. It is a Rimmel 60 Seconds polish in the color 120 Hot Chili Pepper. I got it for $1.50! YUP! Under $2 bucks you guys. 

The formula is fabulous! I wouldn't say it dries in 60 seconds but it does dry faster than my other nail polishes. I've had another color from their older 60 seconds line and loved it. I was really excited to see them bring it back with super pretty colors! It lasts a REALLY long time when I use a top coat and I don't get that from many of my polishes. I also love how it dries into a shiny finish. It is just gorgeous and I am super obsessed with it. I have to really hold back from buying ALL the colors they have available in this line haha! Although it really wouldn't affect my wallet that much I probably should be logical with my purchases especially since I am California bound in 9 days!! Hope you guys enjoyed my quick post and mini review of this awesome nail polish! Bye for now ~

Hey guys!  This post is again long over due since it has been a few days since I went to Anime Boston. Better late than never? Haha! I've been having a hard time finding motivation to sit down a type/put together any type of post T__T. Hope you guys enjoy seeing my adventures at my first Anime Convention Anime Boston! I've been wanting to go for maybe 6 years now but something ALWAYS came up rendering me unable to go. You could only imagine how ecstatic I was to be there! I posted a getting ready with me and vlog thing on my Youtube if you guys are interested :D (you def do not have to - just putting it out there!)!

If you guys aren't familiar with the Hynes Convention Center, it is HUGE! I believe it has 3 or 4 floors and endless long corridors and a plethora of big rooms/halls. Along one of these halls, there was art displayed from people who submit their art in the contest to follow along this year's theme 'Talesof Yokai'. Each piece was so beautiful but I highlighted  2 of my favorites. This beautiful piece here was the winner of the art contest! ISN'T IT AMAZING?! The first room we entered was a giant game room. Of course my brother and hubby wanted in on this action. This room was FILLED with screens and xboxes everywhere!!! Each little station had a different game. There also 2 large screens at the back of the room for people to play different Kinect games. Let me just say watching Spiderman play Dragon Ball Z (you have to literally just stand there and punch the air/dodge/jump) was hilarious!! & all in proper DBZ fighting position. My absolute favorite room was OBVIOUSLY the vendor room. SO many Anime goodies, cute plushies, video game goodness EVERYWHERE oh gosh I was pretty much spazzing. They also had some Kpop booths which was pretty awesome ;P! I didn't any pics of the GINORMOUSSSSS vendor room (I lierally could get lost in there because there are so many aisles and stands) because I was too busy throwing my money at the vendors LMAO. I kid but not really. The pic above is one hubby happened to take as he waited for me to stop gawking at this one plushie stand. I mostly bought gifts for my famILY ♥ We had lunch at Prudential Center which is a big shopping mall that is connected to Hynes. I had a yummy chicken cesar wrap and an 'eh' broccoli and cheddar soup. I'm not a big fan of white onions and for some reason that soup was white onion-y tasting.  We went on the last day so I'm sure there was less people than there were on Friday and Saturday. We still saw some pretty cool costumes and oouu and ahhh'ed at pretty much everything haha! There still were a LOT of people there. All 3 of us had a BLAST! We spent about 5 or 6 hours wandering the halls and entering rooms we thought were interesting. They had ALL types of events and presentations.  I was worried my brother would be bored/embarrassed because he doesn't watch a lot of Animes or anything but rather came for the gaming booths. He himself had a ton of fun so I'm glad we were able to enjoy this experience together.  Hope you guys enjoyed my pic heavy post! Have you guys ever been to an Anime Convention or ever wanted to go?! Thanks as always for reading! Bye for now ~

Hi all!

I'm back at it once again with another review! Woo ~ This one has been cooking in my 'drafts' since forever and it is about time it is shared!

It has been quite awhile since I did a mascara review (only because I haven't come across one that I felt was review worthy). The last one I did was on the Holika Holika Magic Pole mascara but today's review will be featuring the Missha 4D Mascara!
I heard that this is one of Missha's best sellers and I was very intrigued and expected great things. 

My lashes:

Kind of long, thick and curled already. They also hold a curl without any problem. What I look for in a mascara is just to further define my lashes and give them a bit more volume WITHOUT creating a clumpy mess. 

Basic Specs:

Contains: 10 grams

Waterproof
Price: $4.50 on Ebay

Claims:
Square brush: Helps apply rich amount onto eyelashes and coat each eyelash with mascara liquid to make thicker eyelashes.

-Makes eyelashes doubly longer, denser and richer volume.


-Botanical wax: give a volume effect without lump and smudging.

Packaging:

It comes in a nice sleek and simple black tube. It is pretty slim so it can easily fit into travel makeup bags without adding bulk.

Brush:

The brush is pretty cool if I do say so myself. Being the little dork I am I think it's pretty cool that is kind of square shaped. The brush has 4 distinct flat sides which makes it really easy to grab onto every lash. The front is kind of tapered and smaller to be able to reach into your inner corner. I still have to turn the brush quite a bit to get the little ones in the inner corner. The synthetic bristles are able to pick up and coat every lash evenly. 

Formula:

The formula is pretty good. I think its the right consistency where it won't weight down your lashes and it dries fairly quickly so you don't have to worry about it getting on your eyelids. The formula is buildable but if you add more than 3 full coats, it will look kinda clumpy in some areas! Occasionally I get some little globs on my lashes since I usually scrape off excess product before applying and don't clean the rim (shame on me).

I do find that it is waterproof. Even in rain, it will not budge or flake off. It will not come off until you properly remove it. Every now and then around the 9 hour mark, I might get a few stray black specs but no biggie in my book!

It is also easy to remove even though it is waterproof. I use the Up and Up brand makeup remover from Target and have no problems. It doesn't create a runny black raccoon-like mess on your face at all and comes up in little black clumps that are easily wiped away. 

Results:

One coat - Very natural yet defined. Added volume.

Two coats - More definition and drama. More volume & length

Three coats - Pretty much clumps all my lashes together and makes it look spikey haha!

I added some black eyeliner because it looks so weird on its own and I wanted to see if they would look like falsies x]

When I apply this, I use a wiggling  upwards motion in order to catch and evenly coat my lashes. I really like the results and I think it is a versatile mascara that can be used for natural and more dramatic looks. I would not suggest 3 coats though haha!

PROs:

• Excellent waterproof mascara for under $5
• So smudging or flaking off (even in the rain!)
• Adds volume & length like claims say
• Long lasting
• Easy to remove
• Super cool 4 sided brush
• Will work for different lash types

CONs:

• I really don't have anything negative to say about it :3

I cannot say for sure how this will work for short, hard to curl lashes but my guesses are that it would work wonderfully! My reasoning on that bold statement is because of the formula and the brush. It made my lashes even longer and added a good amount of volume without feeling heavy. 2 HEAVY coats will make it feel a little hard though. I'm not sure how long it will keep a curl since mine have no problems staying in place.

That's all for now! Hope this review was helpful/informative. Thank you for reading ♥
Bye for now ~

Hello there! Guess who is back from another random hiatus from the blog-o-sphere? ME! I just haven't been in the mood to sit down and type a proper post. I've been more into editing my videos for my Youtube channel lately but I don't want to abandon my blog so here I am!  So since Google reader is going down the drain, I would definitely recommend you guys follow me on blog lovin' (links at the bottom) to be notified when I post new stuffs! If there are any easier ways to notify you guys of new posts (or any way you would prefer), let me know! Anyways, the purpose of this post is to review the Etude House Chocolate Smudge Liner from their Sweet Recipe line! WOO ~ Oh Etude House, you sure know how to make me throw my money at you. Hope you enjoy my review!

Basic Specs:

Contains: 2.6 grams

Color purchased : #2 Milk Chococolate

Price: $8 (ebay seller: HSCimports)

Packaging:

As usual, the packaging concept is ADORABLE! As expected from the amazing Etude House. However, under closer inspection, the 'chocolate' part is kinda cheap feeling and looking. The paint job is kind of messy and it doesn't look that put together in my opinion. 

The opening for the product is already on the back and has a plastic door covering thing. I hope that is enough to keep the product from drying out for a long time. I've only seen a traditional screw on caps that are found on other gel liner containers and they seem to stay moist and useable for a long time!

Claims: 

"Seemed to melt all the chocolate shadow and boundary gradient to naturally make naturally shaded eyes"

Color: 

It is a really nice no shimmer (matte), milk chocolate color! I wanted a more natural looking brown liner for an even more subtle and natural look which is what I like to do everyday. Here is a comparison with the Tony Moly backstage liner in 02 Brown. It was actually a richer deeper brown than I was expecting but it's still very nice and natural none the less!

Consistency:

It is very nice and creamy! Very blendable and smudgeable as the name suggests. That being said, one may be concerned that it will remain smudgeable. Well, I can confidently say that it sets within 20 seconds and it will no longer budge. I will discuss this more in the next section!

Lasting Power:

On its own (like any other gel or pencil liner on my eyes) will slide and smudge right off in 3 hours without a primer or setting with powder. I always apply good ol' UD primer potion and set it with a brown powder and it will last for about 5-6 hours before transferring a bit to the lower lash line. Nothing a little tissue or q-tip can't fix! I'm not sure how well it will do in the humid weather as I feel like it may slip around when my eye lids start to grease up like crazy. It is also not waterproof.

PROs:

• Nice natural brown color
• dries quickly
• glides on smoothly
• easily blends and smudges (before it sets)
• reasonable price point!
• good for those with normal/dry eyelids

CONs:

• Unsure how long it will stay useable
• Limited edition
• Not waterproof

Overall I do like this liner! I absolutely love the color an how easy it glides on. I just don't know how it will do in the warmer season that is quickly approaching! EEK! I hope priming and setting will keep it still on my grease ball lids!!

That's all for my review! I hope it was helpful and informative! Thanks so much for bearing with my sporadic blog posting T__T! I will try to keep this momentum going! I still have to post my Missha mascara review I wanted to do haha...!

Also, hello the new readers I have picked up over my time away. Thank you so much for taking interest in my little humble blog ^__^

Take care everyone! Be sure to follow me on my various social media outlets!
