[Review] Nature Republic Water Tint 02 Water Pink

Allllloooohhhhhaaaaa Cuties~! How have you been on this fine day? I am here with my review on a water tint. What exactly is a tint? A tint is a liquid that contains color or similar to a stain, because it would last longer. Before, I have no idea what a tint was, all I knew was that Ulzzang's uses them to make their dolly lips. Personally I prefer tints because it is long lasting. 
Today I have Nature Republic's Water Tint in #2 water pink. This color is very subtle and natural when applied to the lips. I have been using this lip tint for a while now and I love it!
This product was used in the Ulzzang Lip Tutorial:

This is the bottom of the bottle, you can see the information.


As you can see, I have been using this product almost everyday since I got it a month ago.

The brush is a felt tip for easy application.

This is a swatch on my hand, you can see that it is very light and natural looking. 

How it would look like applied on lips.

Pros:
  • long lasting
  • natural and subtle 
  • easy to apply 
  • cost around ~$5-6 in Hawaii

Cons:
  • hard to remove without makeup remover
  • no moisture, just to give color but you can add your own layer of lip balm, lip gloss etc.

[Review] Nature Republic Provence Gel Eyeliner #6 White & #8 Navy

Hi my pretties!
Today's review is going to be about two gel eyeliners from Nature Republic. These gel eyeliners are not the typical color as they are white and dark blue. 
Gel Pen Eyeliners
The gel eyeliners come in many colors and while they look unsharpenable, they are actually pretty easy to sharpen. Any makeup sharpeners will do the trick.
At the end of each gel eyeliner is a smudger so you can get a smokey eye look if you like. I find it super handy if I wanted to get a faded/smokey look.
This is how the color looks on my skin
The eyeliners are sparkly and are very pigmented. The colors come out amazing.

How I look without eyeliner
Here, I have on both the navy and the white color. I used the navy blue color to line my eyes and the white color on my lower lash line. The navy color looks pretty dark but gives a little "pop" to the eyes. It almost looks black but has a bluish color to it. The white color highlights the eyes and makes them look bigger.

After a seven hour school day, my eye makeup did not smudge. Although you can't really see it in the picture, the white eyeliner is still on my lower lash line. My favorite thing about this product is that it stays on no matter how humid the weather is. This is definitely something to try if you something bold and different. 

Pros: Variety of Colors; High Pigmentation; Sparkly; Long Lasting
Cons: Takes Longer Time to Remove

Hope you enjoyed this review and see you soon my pretties!

Oops, I forgot to add that they're $9.90 each in Hawaii.

[Review] Nature Republic Provence 3 Magic Step Eyes #7 Spring Step

For my birthday Jessica got me this eye shadow palette from Nature Republic
The colors are super girly espeically the pink.
Here are the color swatches, they're really soft colors but it's really build-able so you can have light make up on or you can intensity it. The first color is more like a base color, it's just a solid color. Then the middle one is more shiny and the pink is really shimmery.
This is how I use mine, the first color as a base, second color to do the lips of my eyes then the pink on my outer bottom waterline.

Pros:
           - Really nice color palette 
           - Different ways to use it
           - Perfect for Spring or casual girly days
Cons:
           - The pink sparkles get everywhere and doesn't hold the pink color
Repurchase?:
           - Yes, but I do want to try different eye shadows, I use this every time I go to work or if I do decide to wear make up for the day this is my everyday make up.
Good luck and have fun lovelies.
