[Review] Hoilka Holika Heart Crush Jelly Velvet Tint + Heart Crush Glow Tint Air

So I am reviewing more shades from the Holika Holika Heart Crush Glow Tint Air . I am also reviewing the two newly released Heart Crush Jelly Velvet tints that were exclusively lauched with the Matte Magique Collection

Hoilka Holika Heart Crush Jelly Velvet Tint in Matte Magique Collection, comes with two new special edition colors that inspired from the vibe of the afternoon and dawn.

A tint in jelly like texture but in velvet finish, helps create a natural flush on lips to create an eye-catching lip look. Formulated with Jelly Fixing System to stay on lips tightly with long-lasting adherence. Infused with 20% of water moisture to offer cooling effect with moisturizing effect to prevent drying out of lips.

The packaging is similar to the Glow air tints, but it is more opaque, the applicator is a bit flat and has a fuzzy end for that cushion effect. These have a nice fruity jelly scent. I like it, its sweet and non offensive.

The texture is airy and light. It dry down to powdery velvet finish and feels super comfortable on the lips. This is so lightweight that I completely forget that I have lipstick on. 

Drowsy is a beautiful warm toned coral apricot color. Single application coats the lips evenly . I use this on its own and as a gradient effect with another lipstick. The lasting power is pretty good. It lasts for 5-6 hrs without eating or drinking. This does not leave any residual tint on the lips 

Dusky on the other hand is a cool toned vibrant pink color. It is a very flattering color for my complexion. This lasts for 5-6 hrs and leaves a beautiful residual color on the lips. 

Hoilka Holika Heart Crush Glow Tint Air

Adds an airy shine to lips with Air-light Glow Capsule for a non-sticky finish.

Infused with pure color pigments that deliver vibrant and long-lasting colors. The Bullet Tip makes it easier to control the amount used for a light, airy effect

I have reviewed two shades from this collection. This time around I am reviewing :

#05 Oh!: Energizing grapefruit red

#08 Cuddly: Lovely coral nude color

#05 Oh has a red packing but in real life the liptint is more orange toned than red. (At least that is how it translates on my lips). The color does reminds one of juicy grapefruit. This leaves a warm orange tint on the lips. A very beautiful summer lip color 

#08 Cuddly is a nude coral color. This is very MLBB kind of shade. I like this for everyday use as it it adds a very subtle definition to the lips and makes them soft and glossy at the same time

Have you tried these lip products from Holika Holika ? What is your opinion on them ?

[Review] TIA'M Vita B3 Source

 I started of this year with really bad skin. When I say bad I am talking about massive invasion of pustular acne. It took around 2 weeks for the pus to clear up completely but I was left with the gift of post inflammatory hyperpigmentation that was stubborn and stood out on my face as the red traffic signal. I haven't experience such massive lesions on my face in a really long time so I felt  reclusive . Thankfully the face mask gave me a lot cover and time to heal so I didn't have to rely entirely on make-up

 

Speaking of makeup, I had to relearn how to do makeup from the scratch. All of the products that I was using on my face became to dry and cakey for my skin. So I had to test out a lot of techniques on how to hydrate and prep skin which had a lot of acne. 

A lot of my viewers on Instagram advised me to incorporate Vitamin C serum along with  Niacinamide to clear PIH. After reading multiple reviews I decided to purchase the Tiam Vitamin B3 serum

A skin brightening serum that is infused with highly-concentrated niacinamide and arbutin to blur the appearance of dark spots and correct uneven skin tone.

Also helps minimize the appearance of discoloration for a more radiant looking complexion. Blended with 10% niacinamide to reduce excessive sebum production as well as addressing breakouts.

Major Ingredients:

Water, Niacinamide (10%), Butylene Glycol, Arbutin (2%), Allantoin, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, Lindera Erythrocarpa Extract, Cornus Officinalis Fruit Extract, Geranium Thunbergii Extract, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Sodium Hyaluronate, Methylpropanediol, Laurylpyridinium Chloride, Chlorphenesin, 1,2-Hexanediol

Packaging: 

Standard glass vial with a dropper. Usually serum come in 30 ml quantity . But this has 40 ml. There is no plastic stopper so be careful when pulling out the glass pipette 

My thoughts

So when I started off I had a lot of PIH on the sides of my face and on my cheeks . Since the weather is cold my skin was rather dry than oily . My pores were pretty prominent and were getting clogged easily 

This serum has a water like consistency with a hint of snail mucin slip. It is very easy to spread on the skin and absorbs within a minute completely. I have tried a bunch of niacinamide serum in the past and my main issue with majority of them is the heavy greasy residue on the skin. This on the other hand is like water no tacky or greasy residue

I usually applied this to my face every night before going to bed. 

Here is what I noticed on Day 1. My gave looked the same. It was hydrated but I didn't see any gross difference however on Day 3 I noticed that my face look brighter and lively in the morning . After a week of use a lot of the PIH was light and some of the scar marks peeled off. I used this serum consistently along with vitamin C serum ( alternate days ) for thres weeks and my skin looks brighter and the PIH has definitely faded. I haven't noticed any difference with my pores and my skin is not oily at the moment because id weather. I am getting break outs ever now and them but overall it is nothing too massive or prominent. I have already ordered a s second bottle of this serum because I am happy with the results
