[Holika Holika] Aqua Petit Jelly BB Cream Review

Aqua Petit Jelly BB Cream Shade #2 - Holika Holika Review

 So I've been hearing that this product is the holy grail of Korean BB Creams for a lot of make up users on youtube and since I was looking for a solid one anyways, I thought I'd give this one a try!! There's a Holika Holika boutique in a mall near by and when I swatched the first shade, I would have to be Snow White to match how white the shade was haha so I took a look at the second shade and it wasn't too bad.
I ordered this product online [click me] for 10$ less than the product sold at the store! The shipping is cheap and I still managed to save money :) It's a legit store and I was very pleased with the delivery!! I was told that it'd arrive in 2-4 weeks but in 12 days, I got this in the mail!! (Disclaimer: I'm not paid to say these things but I am genuinely happy that I have received this package so quickly and I am very pleased with the product and condition) Okay onto the review!

 Aqua Petite Jelly BB Cream 
This product comes in a jar that's in the shape of a matte jelly/jello casing. It has a lot of product and the product itself is in a jelly consistency- like if you shake the jar with the lid off, it wiggles! The smell is pleasant, and the packaging is adorable. The lid is attached to a spatula, so you don't have to dip your finger inside the jar to get the product out (BONUS! Less bacteria :3)
It takes a few minutes to set on your face- I just buff this product around with my Real Techniques buffing brush (which is AMAZING~) before I pat it down on my face with my fingers (just for a little natural glow, I guess)
And a few minutes later, you're left with a half dewy, half velvet textured finish :)

I'm really pleased with this product- its coverage is half light to medium- and you can definitely build this to be more full coverage.

Selca- without finishing powder on top- natural lighting facing the window. My skin looks a bit white I think just because the colour contrast of my shirt naturally does that.. but then again this product is a bit whitening as most BB Creams are. 

If you have any products you' d like me to review, please comment down below and I'll see what I can do~ 

BURT'S BEES - Lip Shimmer (Cherry) and Tinted lip balm (Hibiscus) Review!

This is the first time I've ever purchased a Burt's Bees product- and I don't know why!! I've been hearing really great reviews about the products- skincare, etc- but I guess I never guessed that their cosmetics range never blew up on youtube? Well- last week I decided to give this a go- since it was on sale and I just fell in love with the colours (no testers so had to open them up and see for myself! ...that's not good.. I know..) 

The first colour that caught my eye was Burts Bee's' Lip Shimmer in CHERRY! 

THIS COLOUR IS BEAUTIFUL! I don't know even know how to start- it's so corally and it's not THAT shimmery- but it does leave a nice glossy finish to your lips <3

Pros: 

- Not too shimmery- but gives you enough gloss to your lips that it looks (AND IS) hydrated! 

- Pretty pigmented for a lip shimmer/balm! Love it

- Pretty affordable for a tinted lip balm, I would say- I think it was around $5-6 at Shoppers Drug Mart? 

Cons: 

- The packaging for this product wasn't thought out- well the packaging is okay but if you twist out "too much" product, you can't twist it back inside the tube..

Which was bothersome and annoying because I tied to push it back into the tube but.. the heat from my fingers just melted the product and ended up squishing it... not pleasant, I tell you. 

- Messy 

 Burt's Bees Tinted Lip Balm in  HIBISCUS 

This lip tint might be one of my new favourite lip tints .. ever? Let me give you some pros and cons (if any)

Pros:

- Packaging is bulkier so the product transfers to your lip better (compared to the other one- though I love the colour nonetheless) 

- Less shimmery than the shimmer lip balm but it's just like a lip balm but with a sheer, beautiful tint <3

Cons:

- There weren't that many colours to choose from that were appealing to me- I just remember there being maybe 4 others? 

I can't think of anything else for cons- I just really love this tint as well <3
