Etude House Tear Drop Liner & SKIN79 BB cream sample

Alohaaaa. Ive been soo busy these days! With working and all. & by the way yesterday was my first day working and it was awesome & stressful LOL Still have alot to learn =)


Back to the topic, I received my eBay order : Etude House Tear Drop Liner in pearl the day before yesterday. It came with a SKIN79 gold lable Silver BB cream sample. So I tried them out yesterday and decided to do a review on both of them
Thats how the liquid liner looks like without flash & i didnt have other makeup on
as u can see its quite sheer but it sparkles under sunlight or ordinary indoor light with small amount



The items
Ok so the reviews.

ETUDE HOUSE Tear Drop Liner
Its a bottom waterline liner which is intended to make your eyes sparkle more and achieves a dolly makeup effect without over doing it.
Its quite sheer as I mentioned but a little goes a long way since it sparkles so much. But the sparkles are suitable for everyday , not like stage makeup or anything. The brush makes the application easier. It doesnt sting the eyes or anything. And i have super sensitive skin. I wore that to work from 5-11 and when I got home, its still on. But then, its rly easy to remove, u can remove it with water and without excessive rubbing. The only con I have for this one is the handle.. its so fucking huge. I think its about 6-7 centimeters while the bottle itself is like 10 cm... It makes it harder to manipulate while putting the makeup on but its no biggie i guess.
Overall I would rate this product 4 out of 5 and will repurchase it for sure.

SKIN79 silver bottle BB cream
Ive heard that skin79's bb creams are very natural, sheer and dont have much coverage. I tried this one out and I must say that it isnt THAT sheer and the coverage isnt THAT bad. It has a creamy texture which is less oily than Missha ones. It felt quite thick when i rubbed them on my fingers but once patted on the face, they blend in quite nicely with my skintone ( NC 20 for reference) and has this half-dewy effect which can lead to an oily effect for people with oily skin. It has some fancy ingredients such as pure gold powder and caviar extract to nurish ur skin and its made for 25+ skin. After 6hours of work, I only had to blot once and I have normal and slight oily skin. After I tried this product out, I would say that SKIN79's bb creams are wayyyyy better than Missha ones according to me. Missha has full coverage which can lead to cakiness, grey undertone, heaviness and too much pressure for the skin. SKIN79 is lighter, sheerer, easier to apply, more natural and it does have a medium coverage. Plus Missha has a quite strong smell but SKIN79 doesnt. THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS: Missha broke me out due to the heavy sun protection and coverage, but SKIN79 didnt. So for people who don't have major discolouration, I recommand skin79. & by the way I do have redness and acne scars on my face. I used a primer and this to prep my face then I set it with a thin coat of mineral foundation. The result is on the first picture.

Sooo I hope it helps.
