[The Face Shop] Lovely ME:EX Bye Bye Dark Circle Concealer 3g, SPF30/PA++ Review


Hey guys, sorry I've been on hiatus for soooo~ long, but now that my exams and school are over, I can blog more=D
Anyways, today I'm going to review The Face Shop Lovely ME:EX Bye Bye Dark Circle Concealer 3g, SPF30/PA++ 
I haven't really seen any reviews on this and I have really~ dark circles from lack of sleep and allergies. Anyways what got me interested in this product was the cute design, the mechanics of it, and the fact that it has spf.
Look at how cute it is:
It's an owl, just in case some of you can't figure out what it is=D
This is what the item claims to do:
1. For all skin types
2.This concealer covers dark circles under the eyes, the primary culprit for dull and tired appearance, while brightening the face with a radiance for a vitalized complexion.
3. It adheres in a thin and moist layer to the eye area, prone to dryness and fine lines, to cover dark circle more naturally without patchiness


First off:
Packaging: It comes in this tiny box with the same design that is on the pen, but this owl has dark circles under its eyes haha=D

There's all this stuff in Korean that I don't understand, but maybe somebody else will


SPF 30+++!

Directions:
1. Press the button at the end of container to dispense an adequate amount fro inside brush placed at the front of container.
2.When adequate amount is dispensed onto brush, spread onto dark under eye circles in a fine layers while carefully blending borders and tap lightly to finish
3. Apply at the stage of base makeup after using bb cream or a foundation.
Note: I find it best to just swipe some on my under eye and then use my fingers to blend it in.
Ingredients:

ahhhhh~ I just love packagings>.<
its like a metallic blend of purple 
Brush
Button




The product's coming out


Without concealer:

With concealer

see the patchiness? see that it sinks into my fine lines?



Pros:
Love the design and the mechanics (looks so futuristic)
easily removable
covers dark circles
spf 30
wasn't that expensive because I bought it on ebay

Cons:
does get patchy and cakey if you put too much
it sinks into my fine lines
brush (I wish they made concealer pens with sponges>.>)
has talc as one of its ingredients(but then again lot's of make-up have talc, so if you're okay with that you should be fine with this)
takes a while for the product to come out, so i just keep pressing and then I get too much (partly my fault)
doesn't last throughout the day
Note: After i used this, my eye got swollen the next morning, but I'm not sure if it's due to this because I'm still using it, but nothing is happening now

The Face Shop Eye Liner Pencil Review

So I went to The Face Shop and brought an eyeliner pencil, forgot how much it was though, I think $1 because they were having a sale.

 This is how it looks

Size: 0.08 oz
Color: White

Swatch:

Smudge Test:
Fail!!!
So obviously not waterproof

On eyes:

After a few minutes

It dissipates T^T

After 3 hours
Some went inside my eye, but a little is still there. I guess after it disperses it settles a little. 
(On a totally unrelated not, look at my figure in my eye lols and i think that's my hand. Hope so.)

 After a shower:
Still there, maybe cause I don't really get water in my eyes, but as you can see moved to the outer corners and near the end of my lashes.

Likes:
-low price for lots of product
-pencil

Dislikes:
- need to sharpen it
- not waterproof
-not smudge proof
-after a few hours it sinks into my lines and or disappears without out you touching it
- at the end of the school day, it is usually gone

Don't recommend, unless it's on sale and you have money to waste.

The Face Shop Lovely Me:Ex Lip Tint Stick Review

Hey guys, so this is my first review so please bear with me=DI always look up reviews of products before I purchase it and for this particular item I couldn't find much, but I decided to purchase it anyways from ebay seller: 2010bigbang. In New York, it costs around $14.  It is The Face Shop Lovely Me: Ex Lip Tint Stick in Shade no. 02 otherwise known as cherry. It is a 3 in 1 lippie which means it is supposed to be a lip tint, lip balm, and sunblock. Now some of you might be thinking "Ewww... sunblock on my lips? No thanks." Well, guess what your lips need sunblock too. Anyways, on with the review.

I wish that it looks like the color and texture in the picture, but it's not so don't get fooled. 
This is how it looks in person.
 Lols... my dry lips left marks.
And this is how much product there is. I twisted it to the max 

Scent: is a really big issue for me cause certain smells cause me to get nauseated and uncomfortable, but this has an okay smell, but I can't pinpoint it. 
Feel: Its not bad, smooth, but i prefer my lip balms to feel refreshing. Also, I feel like it kind of sits on top my my lips instead of sinking in it and moisturizing it.
While its on it may feel moisturizing but as it wears off it starts to feel drying. 
Application: It glides on smoothly, no worries there. It takes a few minutes for the color to kick in for me. After it is gone it leaves you with tinted lips so your choice on whether or not to reapply. 
Tip: Exfoliate before you put this on, even though it says lip balm, after its gone your lips will look like it did before cracked and peeling. 
Lasting: 3-4 hours, Tint lasts about another 4 hours


Swatches:
After glossiness is gone.




Bare and Dry Lips:
Dry Lips with Lip Tint on:
It's actually a little darker than that. My lighting sucks, but see that dry skin on top is still very much visible.
Okay, that's how dark the color appears on me.

Bare Exfoliated Lips:

Exfoliated Lips with Lip Tint on:



After Lip Tint is gone:


Half- half:


Half-Half After Lip Tint is Gone:



Likes: 
-Slim pink case with the eiffel tower on it makes it so cute. 
-It does what it claims, at least 2 out of 3.
-Scent is not intoxicating.
-No sparkles or glitter in it.
-Like the after-affect.
-Sheer, but build able.
-Don't have to reapply unless you have chapped lips.
Dislikes:
-Doesn't have that refreshing feel.
-Don't know what the ingredients are. 
- Doesn't say how much of the product there is either. 
-While it's on it is moisturizing, but after it is gone its dry again, beats the lip balm purpose. 




Recommended cause it's a three in one=D
