End of Summer Products - Part 2

In this post, I will be featuring products purchased from Jolse that are fit for summer.

Without further ado, here's a picture of the products we will be discussing today:

I also bought the One Step Pimple Clear Pad from COSRX (not pictured), but we'll save that for a skincare post later.

*The green towel is a free gift--an Italian/Korean exfoliating wash cloth. I haven't used it in the shower yet, but apparently it helps get rid of dead skin cells if you rub REALLY hard with it... =_="

The first product we'll discuss is:

The Cotton Veil Primer by Mamonde

This primer provides a beautifully healthy glow to your face, with tinges of pink and pearl to create a great skin-tone that isn't as yellow-y (for us Eastern Asians). Here are the swatches:

I spread it out just a little in the center of my hand, so it may be hard to see. But in real life, it really makes your face look lovely. However, I cannot say that it made my foundation last longer and nor can I say it controls sebum (this is more of a hydrating primer). Also, the fragrance is VERY STRONG. It's a lovely flowery smell with tints of fruitiness to it and smells similar to Japanese cherry blossoms. However, the smell is so strong, it will linger on your skin for about 30 minutes before disappearing (or maybe I just don't notice it at that point...). So if you don't like fragrance-laced products, skip this one. If you're searching for a Hera Magic Starter, Becca Backlight Primer, or VDL Lumilayer Primer that is much more affordable and you don't mind fragrances, this primer is for you.

Next up: Mamonde's Natural Cake Eyebrow Kit

*Sorry for the change in lighting--the sun set and I had to turn on my yellowy room light.

Mamonde's eyebrow kit is really just your average old eyebrow powder, nothing too special. The colors are nice and natural, and the brushes work excellently to apply the product. However, as is with all powder, the longevity isn't that great.

And now, we have an eyeshadow pencil from Mamonde:

The color I got was #5 Rose Gold. The color is coppery with specks of sparkles. I prefer smaller sparkles to large glittery particles, and the glitter from this eyeshadow pencil is definitely on the large side. But when you smooth it out, it creates a dewy sheen on your eyelids. Longevity is mediocre (5 hours with primer). 

Rating: *** 3/5

Finally, the last products are: 

Etude House Berry Delicious Color in Liquid Lips (#RD305)

Mamonde Cream Tint Color Balm Light (#26)

These lip products are both moisturizing and have good pigmentation. The both last on the lips about 3 hours without eating. However, Etude House's product leaves a tint that will last for the day while Mamonde's doesn't. If you are interested, leave a comment about swatches and I will swatch these for you.

Here are the gifts Jolse sent me in addition to the washcloth:

They were very generous this time, and so I received a lot! Thanks, Jolse! Until next time, readers!
