Happy New Year Everyone! Hope everyone enjoyed the holiday season however they ended up spending it! Now, I know you all missed me posting on my blog ever so much, so here I am back with some more content for you all to enjoy and I hope in 2019 I am able to bring you guys more insightful content to help you on your own beauty journey.

COSRX is a brand I've been lusting over for the past 5 or so years but just never managed to get my foot in the door by buying their products. However, I finally began getting a few bits and pieces at the end of last year to give them a try and see what products from them I would like. One thing I am trying to do with my skincare routine is to make sure I am adding acids regularly. I've only recently been learning about the exfoliating benefits of them especially for people like myself who suffer from acne and acne scarring. The first product I had bought was the AHA/BHA Clarifying Treatment Toner which I have been using the past month or two and have been really enjoying it. For Christmas, I asked for these two products I am going to talk about in this post along with all the make up I got too (keep an eye out for that!)

COSRX AHA 7 Whitehead Power Liquid

PHA Moisture Renewal Power Cream

Peripera was a brand I only dabbled in last year, but they have quickly become one of my all time K-beauty brands. The standout point for me when it comes to Peripera is their lip products, for the affordability, the products perform amazingly and their colours available are simply gorgeous. They recently released their Autumn collection called Pink Moment, with gorgeous pink scrapbook style packaging and products with some form of pink or coral undertone. I decided to grab a few products from the range, every type apart from the eyeshadow palette because it wasn't easily available at the time of me getting this range. So, today I am going to share with you my little haul of goodies.

PERIPERA INK THE GELATO // PINK MOMENT #8, #9, #10



Of course, the key selling point of the range was the lip products, they sold products in both their original Velvet formula and their newer Gelato one. As I had never tried the newer formula I had to grab a few of these while I could. I chose the shades #8 Black Tea With Milk, #9 Peach Pink and #10 Cherry Cinnamon. My reason for choosing these particular shades was the fact that these seemed to be the ones with the slightly warmer undertones to them.


While they might look pretty similar in the swatches, they definitely have their own unique undertone and even though they look quite dark on my hand, the colours are very muted when applied to the lips. Black Tea with Milk is definitely an orange beige, while Peach Pink is a peachy beige and cherry cinnamon is a brighter pink beige. The colours work well for simple autumn looks or even just to give your face a little colour to it.

My experience with this formula has been great so far, it's non-drying and is kind of like a combination of a lip tint and lipgloss, probably quite close to the Airy Ink Velvets, but with a less ~airy~ finish to it. It's non-sticky and smells really gorgeous too! Definitely worth a try even if you're not able to grab a hold of these particular shades due to this being a limited edition collection.



PERIPERA PURE BLUSHED VELVET CHEEK // #7 COZY CREAMY ROSE


I've only ever used Peripera's base products and their lip products, so trying a blush from them was a new thing for me completely. I wanted a warm colour that could be used with most colour schemes and also not be too bright. So this rose colour seemed ideal for what I wanted.

Alright, I'm not someone who wants to gush too much about how much I adore something but this is now my favourite blush formula. It glides onto the skin like velvet, feels like velvet on the skin and doesn't streak. It melts into the skin leaving a pretty, natural-looking flush.

I'm 100% going to be buying more of this product in different shades, one of each colour I wear!

PERIPERA INK LASTING PINK CUSHION // #1 PINK IVORY



Cushions are another product I love from Peripera. Moderate coverage for a decent price. I've previously had the Mint Cushion, which had a yellow undertone to it and I knew the Ivory shade suited me well in the winter (I'm a ghost) so I went for the Ivory again (I'm Beige in the summer but I could have probably gotten away with the Sand shade at the peak of my tan) One thing I have been told about the Pink Cushion is that it has a slightly cooler undertone as the tones are pink. I feel like it's quite minimal and rather than being a full-on cool-toned base, it's more of a brightening one. The design of the cushion as a whole is adorable, the pink case combined with the stylised cushion puff is just all over gorgeous.

This cushions coverage I would say is medium, but you can build it up in areas that you feel you need to. I don't like wearing full coverage anyway as I feel it just looks too cakey on my skin. So this works well for me.


PERIPERA INK COLOR CARA // #8 PINK CHOCOLATE

I'm usually just a plain black mascara kind of person. Usually, because I mostly wear black eyeliner. However, the idea of a pink-tinted brown was intriguing to me so I had to grab one to give it a try. I had also heard some great things about Peripera's mascaras too.


I've honestly not used this as much as I would like to as I only wear it on days where I'm not wearing any eyeliner. However, I find the colour to be nice and subtle and the mascara itself helps add some length and a little volume to the lashes.


This whole range is absolutely beautiful, the packaging catches the eye so much and will allow for you beauty bloggers to get creative with your blog photos to fit in with it. Not only that, but the products perform extremely well. You all know how much I love my Peripera and will continue to keep purchasing their products. Have you tried this range? What are your favourite Peripera products or ones you would like to try the most?

I absolutely adore Pony, when I started to get into K-beauty I always looked to her blog for ideas that I never actually put into practice as I didn't really venture much past eyeliner for eye make up. So, when she originally released her line with memebox I was gutted that it would only ship within the US (and if I remember correctly, Korea as well). But when she eventually came out with Pony Effect that was more widely available in comparison I kept lusting over the products, desperate to try them. They were a little out of my price range (I'm stingy okay) but earlier this year I noticed that Yesstyle had Pony Effect on sale. So I had to buy some!
Post contains affiliate links, however products purchased myself.
I MEAN LOOK AT HER!! How could you not want to own make up she's responsible for?

I only ended up picking up two products from her line (as I needed some skincare too) but trying these out have definitely made me want to get more in the near future.



One of the key factors of the packaging of Pony Effect's make up is the fact that it's very sleek and modern looking. Usually combining rose gold with either black or on the odd occasion, white. making for very minimalist products to be added to your make up collection

PONY EFFECT MASTER EYE PALETTE - PASTEL MASTER
This was the one product that I fell in love with when I saw it. I love pastel colours and wanted to get my hands on some more make up that would help me create more looks. A varied selection of gorgeous pastel shades in primarily shimmery textures (and ya know I'm a shimmer gal). The colours that actually caught my eye the most were the purple, blue and green, despite these being colours I don't wear at all. However, since buying this it's caused me to experiment a lot more with colour. There is also a brown and a grey to help round up the colours together.

PONY EFFECT FAVORITE LIP FLUID - ROMANTIC BREATH
So, finding which colour I was going to buy was a little struggle as I'm always so drawn to coral shades, I tried to avoid doing that when I picked one from Pony. I opted for Romantic Breath, a very soft MLBB pink shade. I wanted something natural to wear for any days that I want to look a little bit fresher rather than it being obvious I have make up on. I 100% want to buying all of these simply because it smells of watermelon?? aka the best scent out of any fruity scent. There are also a bunch of gorgeous reds available and ya know your girl suits red. 

That's it from my little Pony Effect Haul, just two products to give me a little taste of the brand and whether or not I want to buy more. So far, with my uses of these products I've been really satisfied (I can do reviews if people would like!) and want to grab a lot more. What products have you tried from Pony Effect?

My skincare routine has become a little bit of a mess as of late, however, I've been trying to encourage myself back into it by buying a couple products to add into my routine as and when they fit. Of course, they both come from one of my favourite Korean beauty brands, A'pieu. I have several skin issues that I am trying to improve on and I'm hoping to find the perfect products to make sure my skin can look as good as it can. Honestly, since I've started putting a bit more focus and care into what products I use and using solely Korean skincare, I have noticed such a drastic improvement in my skin's condition, so it seems like what I'm doing is working. I only have two things to add in today, I'll eventually go through my entire daily skincare routine and what extra little treats I give it. 

It's been a while since I actually bought some skincare products, but after using up everything I had I finally decided to get my hands on some new stuff to treat my skin to. I was initially going to get from a range of brands but decided to stick solely to Innisfree this time and a particular range they have out which is their The Minimum range. It claims to have a very high percentage of natural ingredients and to be made for sensitive skin. Due to my skin being a little bit hyper sensitive lately, this seemed like the ideal choice for me to pick up. I also decided to pick up another face mask, as aside from my A'pieu Gelato Mask I only have sheet masks, so I need something a little extra! 

I wanted to buy one thing from each item in one colour but there are two things I didn't buy. First thing was the hair tints, mainly because these weren't being sold to the UK as they are an aerosol. There was a range of colours that looked like they would work on darker hair so it would have been fun to use and change my hair up a bit! The second was a false nail set. I did originally plan to buy one but I realised I don't wear false nails so it would be a waste of money for me to get them. Now onto what I did buy!
