Summer Beauty Buys 2019 at Jolse

Hi everyone, since the first quarter of year 2019 has passed already and the weather is shifting towards warmer days. I decided to do a summer edition of korean Beauty buys that you can find at Jolse.

Jolse is an online korean cosmetic store which provides the best shipping rates you can ever find. The store runs special daily deals ( huge mark down on prices) . 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. You can choose from 7 shades in total. Creamy, long lasting and easy to blend. (Read my full review here)

Prepare yourself to fall in love with cushion foundations all over again This moonshot Micro Correct Fit Cushion(purchase here) The latest 2019 launch by moonshot, redefines the standards of a cushion foundation. It layers well, it covers well, its smells good and its lasts extremely well. What more can you ask from a cushion foundation. ( my full review here)

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. Haruharu Wonder Black Rice Serum ( purchase this product at Jolse here)  this is the soothing serum you need to keep your skin hydrated in hot weather.  Formulated with special ingredients like black rice,hyaluronic acid, bamboo shoot extracts and aloe this light weight gel like texture , feels cooling on the skin.

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 )

Too Cool for School Art Class by Rodin 3-Color Face Shading Review

I have been shying away from contouring kits for the longest time ever because I honestly dont know much about contouring and most of the kits either are over priced, heavily pigmented or have a  warm orangy undertone which makes me look like an oompa loompa.

So when Joan Kim recommended this in one of her tutorials as a very beginner friendly product I was curious to try it out.

Too Cool For School is a Mid Range Korean Road side Shop Brand. They have a lot of popular and good skincare products under their name. This shading kit from Art class by Rodin range is one of their best sellers

The box is on the cuter side. Inside the shading compact is wrapped in a butter paper with rodin tapped to it. I tore the paper in my state of excitement so please excuse my thoughtless action.

The the compact is light weight and is adequately sized in both width and diameter. Inside their is nice mirror and a transparent plastic cover on top to protect shading powder. I found the pan size quite satisfying for swirling the brush. the variation of three shades gives room to creating a customized shading color for different skin tones.

I will describe the shades a bit so to give you a rough idea

The shade on left is matte beige color. This blends with my skin color and works nicely as a transition shade.
Middle shade has somewhat cool ashy tone to it so it looks more grey brown on skin .
The right most shade is warm brown in color but its not too Orangy or red just a hint of warmth to it.

When swirled together the color comes off as  brown. Personally I like using middle and left shade for shading my cheeks and nose. The right shade works great for shading  hairline and defining eye crease

The shades are not super pigmented so it gives a subtle shading effect without going over the top. The sheer / light color pay off gives room to error. You can basically never over do it which is good specially if you are looking for subtle contouring products or are a beginner to contouring/shading like me.

After practicing the technique of shading a couple of time I can now make my nose a bit pinched and tall. And make my large forhead a little less broad. All in one I am very pleased with this product and would recommend it to every one as this lasts through out the day without fading. Has a really nice mirror, contains three different shades and has a lot of product for a fraction of price.

You can purchase this at jolse for 16.48$
