In any case, I plan to post here a bit more regularly/often again. I have a lot of game things to talk about, and I've bought/tried a lot of new makeup/skincare items, so please look forward to it!
While we're on that topic, for Halloween I put together a quick Matryoshka Gumi cosplay.
Sorry for the poor quality/bad selcas ahah ;;;; I'm not that good at taking them, and my phone camera is a little bit fuzzy. I didn't draw on the face markings for this since it was a costest, either.
Here are the products I used though, and some brief thoughts about each. Tell me if you guys want any more in-depth reviews about specific products!
*Skin79 Gold BB Cream :: This is the BB cream I've been using for everything; it was relatively inexpensive, and I like it.
*Multi Cheek blush from Daiso:: Just a standard pink blush. It's a little shimmery, and applies nicely to give a very subtle flush to the cheeks.
*e.l.f. matte powder :: I have oily skin so I use this on top of my BB cream sometimes to help mattify it and control the oil. It can look cakey if you put too much on though.
*e.l.f. concealer stick :: A convenient, cheap concealer stick. Coverage is okay, it has a slight yellowish undertone. Tends to look crinkly/cakey if you apply too heavily, but it works well enough.
-- Eye products --
*American eyecon eyeshadow:: I got this on sale. It's an orange-red-coral-ish shimmery baked shadow. Pigmentation is okay, nothing spectacular, and the color is nice. *e.l.f. liquid liner in Coffee :: Inexpensive, and surprisingly decent quality. It doesn't smudge after it dries (but rather, flakes off if you rub it too hard). The brush is really good for doing thin lines. Pigmentation can be a bit runny and inconsistent sometimes.
*LA Colors eyeshadow :: surprisingly, my go-to palette for natural browns. I just really like the colors. Texture can be a little powdery, but the pigmentation is surprisingly decent. I love the darkest shade, a neutral greyish taupe brown.It blends so nicely with the edges of eyeliner.
*false eyelashes from Daiso :: everyone and their grandma knows about Daiso's library of false lashes and their lovely low price. I like them a lot better than several American brands of false lashes, the Daiso ones look softer/more realistic and last a while.
-- Lip Products --
* Tonymoly Cat chu wink liptint in Cherry :: Tonymoly makes my favorite liptints. This one has amazing pigmentation, a lovely cherry red-pink color, lasts forever even with eating/drinking, and can be blended out to create gradient lips, or worn either very sheer or full-impact. It's very versatile and one of my favorite products.
*Megaslicks gloss :: An inexpensive lipgloss I picked up from Walmart, which blends out surprisingly nicely with a very subtle, sheer warm hint when I do gradient lips. Lasting power isn't that great, especially with eating and drinking, but it's not very sticky and doesn't feel gross when you wear it.
*Tonymoly Bunny gloss bar in Neon Yellow :: it actually changes color upon application to a nice warm pink. Another one of my favorites, the packaging is adorable, it's easy to carry around, and functions as a nice tinted lipbalm with a nice glossy finish.
That's it for now, next time I'll see about doing a formal review, or maybe a game post! I've been playing way too much League of Legends lately =P
