[Review] moonshot Micro Correctfit Foundation 201

moonshot Micro Correctfit cushion was my favorite base makeup last year. I loved the longevity and the finish of it. So I was very excited to see a foundation version of my favourite cushion

The packaging is similar to all moonahot products. A beautiful galaxy inspired purple box in which the foundation is enclosed

The bottle itself is simple and made out of frosted glass with a purple plastic pump and ombre purple/pink cap

Features
A light and powerful foundation that covers the skin perfectly with the High Covering Pigment.
Dense micro-particles fit delicately on the skin, completing smooth, porcelain-like skin expressions.
The long-wearing foundation covers the skin without the necessity for inconvenient makeup correction.

I picked the shade 201 as the color match my skin tone. The first time when I applied to my skin I will admit I was confused. Because unlike my favorite cushion. The foundation looked patchy and uneven on mu face. There was considerable bunching/ cakey effect on the sides of my nose moreover my face looked very dry ( please note that I have oily skin so this unusual dryness was very new for me)

So I read the directions carefully and found out that I forgot to shake the bottle before using. So on my second application I shook the bottle well, and used Moonshot Multi Protection Tinted moisturizer as a base and Viola my base makeup looked perfect ( if I say so myself)

I have noticed that you really don't need powder on top to set the foundation as it already contains particles to set the base. Moreover applying a thin layer with a cushion sponge worked best for me. The finish initially looks semi matte but after few minutes it completely sets to a velvet like matte finish. In terms of coverage this provides slightly cover than the cushion. It also lasts a bit longer too.

If you loved the moonshot Micro Correctfit cushion I highly recommend you to try this as this is a slightly upgraded version which will last you a lot longer than a cushion

[Review] moonshot Multi Protection Tinted Moisture SPF30 PA++ 40ml

This product was launched earlier this year but back then I was more curious about the cushion than this so I picked the cushion . These days my skin has been looking extra dull so I wanted to try a new base/primer .something that could moisture and brighten my complexion

Features

Contains hyaluronic acid complex and panthenol to reduce keratin and make skin radiant.
It replenishes moisture without greasy and express smooth skin.
It brightens skin tone with one touch and turns the skin lively.

The description ticked off all of my skin concerns so my expectations were quite high

The packaging is luxe. It comes in a pretty pink squeeze tube packaging with a pump. I find the pump to be quite hygienic handy as it dispenses the right amount of product each time

Ingredients:

Water, Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Butylene Glycol, Cyclopentasiloxane, Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891), Dicaprylyl Carbonate, Ethylhexyl Salicylate, Cyclohexasiloxane, Glycerin, Niacinamide, Pentylene Glycol, Gossypium Herbaceum (Cotton) Seed Oil, Hyaluronic Acid, Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid, Sodium Hyaluronate, Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate, Diphenylsiloxy Phenyl Trimethicone, Octyldodecanol, Polymethylsilsesquioxane, Triceteareth-4 Phosphate, Glycol Stearate, Glyceryl Stearate, PEG-100 Stearate, PEG-2 Stearate, Potassium Cetyl Phosphate, Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer, Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer, PEG-10 Dimethicone, Aluminum Hydroxide, Squalane, Stearic Acid, Tromethamine, Ethylhexylglycerin, Polysorbate 60, Adenosine, Triethoxycaprylylsilane, Sorbitan Isostearate, 1,2-Hexanediol, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Polyglyceryl-10 Stearate, Panthenol, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Tocopheryl Acetate, Glyceryl Arachidonate, Glyceryl Linolenate, Biotin, Retinyl Palmitate, Carbomer, Disodium EDTA, Phenoxyethanol, Fragrance(Parfum), Ultramarines (CI 77007), Mica (CI 77019), Iron Oxides (CI 77491)

This has a nice fragrance. This primer is pink in color and when you apply it to the face it initially gives a bit of brightening to the skin .

It actually quite easy to spread and moisturizes skin quite well without enhancing skin texture.

I have used this under cushion and bottle foundations and it has worked like magic both times. To me this is a actually a mutiple benefit product : it brightens skin, gives sun protection, moisturizes skin and also sits so well under makeup as a primer

I haven't seen this help with pores or sebum ( nor does it claim to do so ) but it does not enhance the sebum production on my face either. Personally I find this to be a really good primer for the current cold weather and my oily / dehydrated skin

Review] moonshot Stick Extreme Pro Seiene

Reve De Paris collection is the latest makeup launch from the Brand Moonshot. The theme revolves around romantic dream and French street. When I first saw this advertised on Instagram I wanted to get the whole collection because the rich fall hues and rose color was calling my name. I had such a hard time holding myself back from adding the whole collection to my cart.

After a lot of reasoning and self control I got only one lipstick in shade ''Seiene '' from the collection.

Features
Real Coloring - Provide lasting color with UHD pigment. Easy Blur Fit - Provide hydration while making velvet matte finish.

The packaging is color coded so it matches the lipstick bullet . Compared to a regular lipstick the size is actually small which is actually very cute and purse friendly. I really appreciate the fact that moonshot cut down the size but kept the quantity same for the lipstick

The color is a muted/nude pink with brown undertones. The color looks so beautiful on its own as an everyday lipcolor or a base to enhance darker lipsticks or as gradient lips

For some reason I thought that the lipstick would be matte and drying but the first swipe proved me I was wrong. This is extremely creamy and glides on the lips easily . The creamy texture dries down to a smooth powder like finish. My lips look smooth , beautiful and I can't see any creasing. Due to its creamy texture its not smudge proof/ transfer proof.  The lasting power is around 4-5 hours without eating or drinking

My only regret is not getting more colors from the range because its so beautiful. The color is a universal nude that will complement all skin colors. Moonshot once again has created a master piece with their new collection. Its beautiful, sturdy and appropriate for all skin colors

moonshot Stick Extreme Pro in Seiene is available at Jolse

Weekend discount deals and special offer on various brands. You can also find an exclusive Jolse Box every month which has specially curated products at an unbelievable price.

I will start off with something bright i.e lipstick ; A’pieu True Melting Lipstick (purchase here) has the most comfortable formula. Its pigmented and creamy. The shade range is quite diverse ( 14 beautiful colors). The best part is the magnetic packaging ( read my in-depth review here) 

Another long-lasting lip product that you must try this summer is Peripera Ink the Airy Velvet (purchase here). This has a cloud like texture. It feels smooth and has a bit of powder/mousse like finish. This stains the lips so the tint remains all day long. Moreover the colors in the range are very appropriate for spring/summer

This is must have not just for summer but the whole year. One of the impressive korean concealer you can find, Etude House Big Cover Skin Fit Concealer (purchase here) hides all the imperfection like they were never existed in the first place.

Bring warmth and color to your face with this univeral shading compact from Too Cool for school art class by Rodin Shading (purchase this at Jolse) The colors look natural. Three colors in a single compact. Good color payoff. This is one of the recommended items at Jolse. ( my full review is here)

You cant go out in the sun without a sunscreen and one sunscreen which is currently very popular in the korean beauty community is the COSRX Shield Fit All Green Comfort Sun SPF50+ ( purchase this at Jolse here) it does give a white cast but the formula is non sticky and feels matte. Perfect to keep sebum under control. All the Cosrx latest releases are available at Jolse. ( read my full thoughts here)

This is a jolse exclusive product.

Speaking of hydration COSRX One Step Green Hero Calming Pad ( purchase on Jolse) is the knight in shining armour. It calms irritation and feel gentle on the skin. Cut these in half to make them last a few months . ( my review is here ) 

Treat your under with the best eyepatches. Petitfee Collagen & CoQ10 Hydrogel Eye Patch ( purchase these at Jolse) brightens, dull dark area under your eyes. These are really effective at plumping and hydrating the under eye area. ( my full review is here)

Acne is unavoidable for summer season and CARYOPHY Portulaca Ampoule ( purchase this at Jolse) is the concentrated concoction of Centella Asiatica,  Portulaca, and Artemisia which reduces inflammation and moisturize skin.

Vitamin C is effective but it oxidizes easily. Tiam Vitamin Blending Powder ( purchase it on Jolse) is perfect vitamin C product which can be mixed with in your sheet mask, toner , cream or as a spot treatment. Portable packaging and very convenient to use ( my full review is here)

And lastly a wash off mask to clean pores and brighten skin . B&Soap BRENI YELLOW WASH OFF PACK( purchase this at Jolse) has a lovely cookie batter texture. It brightens complexion and clears impurities. This also gives a boost of vitamin to the skin. ( read my review on the blog here )

[Review] MOONSHOT Honey Coverlet Eyeshadow Palette

This is Moonshot's most recent celebrity collaboration with none other than Yoo In Na.

The Honey Coverlet has an two pretty rosy nude lipsticks, an eyeshadow, palette and a serum foundation.
Since I have small hooded eyes I prefer matte eyeshadows over shimmery and glittery ones. Generally speaking matte eyeshadows are actually everyone's cup of tea because they work great as a base, as a transition shade to blend multiple colors and for an everyday eye makeup look.

Starting with the packaging the palette has a plastic case which oddly feels soft like velvet.  The casing is neutral/camel/sand in color which is a little hard to photograph but it looks so pretty in person. The palette is small (I mean really small) but it has a nice mirror and a very cute leaves printed plastic cover to protect the eyeshadow. I love the fact that Moonshot skipped adding small sponge tip applicators/or tiny useless brushes to the palette ( like seriously who uses them ??? )

The shade names are printed on the back of the box. They have also printed a small guide on how to mix and match colors to create different eye makeup looks.

Out of the 10 shades there are  2 shimmery shades (top row) a Sweet candle (a very subtle champagne pink color) and Firewood (a russet/ copper red color ). The rest of the  8 shades are completely matte. 

The shimmery shades are very pigmented and have loads of micro glitter to add bling to any eye makeup look. The matte shades are very soft and non chalky. They blend nicely and the colors are very basic so you can wear them to work or college. some light shades match my skin color so they dont show up as pigmented as the rest but I still like them for a no makeup , makeup look . To get a very defined color payoff you might have to dip the brush a little firmly so more pigment sticks to the bristles

Soft Pillow is a matte white shade great colpr to set eye primer with

Warm Cashmere is a perfect match for my skin. It looks extractly like my lid color.

Cinnamon Milk Tea. The name fits the shade nicely it is indeed a light milk tea color

Nutty brown: this resembles chocolate milk in terms of color . I find this a great shade tp define my crease.

Cream Tan: another nude color , this looks pretty on its own as an eyelid color.

Antique Rug: is a pink brown color it looks pretty and blends nicely with other shades

Dusty Rose: a perfect representation of rose color this looks beautful and makes the eyes look more lively

Rustic chair: I am so happy that moonshot addded a dark brown color instead of a black because this color makes the eye makeup look more dreamy and soft.

All in one I find this to be an essential palette for anyone who loves eyeshadow because the colors are basic and neutral. The price is actually higher than usually korean eyeshadow palettes but matte eyeshadow are actually hard to formulate plus this is a celebrity endorsed product so its pricer than usual makeup products.  I do see myself using thing on trips/travel in future because its very compact and contains all the shades that I love.  Though these are specially formulated for fall/winter I find the colors perfect for all year long

You can find MOONSHOT Honey Coverlet Eyeshadow Palette  on Jolse for purchase
