Hello, hello all my fellow bloggers, it's about time I did an actual post huh? Please excuse my slacking off lately, I've just had a lot on my mind and with school starting I just haven't had the time or motivation.
Anyhoo, so these next couple of posts are going to be about some Asian makeup that I've had but haven't taken the time to actually introduce to you or review properly. I actually don't know a lot about Asian makeup, and I only started getting an interest in it after I started blogging, so I'm still pretty new to a lot of it as well. But I just thought I would share some of what I have and give a brief overview that way those who are interested in new brands or have never tried Asian makeup can get an idea of their quality.
So first up on my list of brands to review is Lotree. Now I myself had never heard of this brand until my sister sent me some of their makeup earlier this year from Korea (in fact, she is pretty much responsible for me having any Asian makeup at all, besides what I've gotten in swaps).
Isn't the packaging absolutely gorgeous? I don't know if you can really tell, but the packaging is a dark royal purple, so sleek and elegant looking!
This is just a clear lipgloss, adds just the right amount of shine without being too dramatic
It comes out pink but don't worry, it's really subtle, I'm pretty sure it goes on clear. It's a little thick and sticky, but not anymore so than your usual glosses.
Next up is this gorgeous marbled highlighter that I absolutely love!
It adds the most beautiful shimmery highlights to your cheekbones, browbones, anywhere you want to glow, and it's not too shimmery, just the right amount.
This eyeshadow packaging is so pretty, it's a frosted glass jar that is quite sturdy, with a screw on lid
This is my go to eyeshadow when I'm feeling lazy and don't feel like dealing with brushes or blending, I just swipe some on my lid with my fingers and it glides on so creamy and smooth but dries to a powdery finish. The color is gorgeous too, a subtle bronzey shimmery color
And last but not least, this beautiful powder compact, this packaging is absolutey amazing, it's nice and light but gives the impression that it's heavy and sturdy (which it still is)...the color is just so pretty too, pictures don't do the packaging justice!
The powder inside is super light and finely milled, and doesn't cake or feel heavy. I use it to set my makeup and it just gives me a nice natural finish.
It has a storage space underneath to keep your sponge applicator, which is nice
Overall, I am completely in love with this brand! The products are amazing and the packaging is gorgeous and excellent quality. This brand seems to be a little more on the expensive side I think, but like the price is totally worth it.
Here is their main website, but it's in Korean and I can't read it :p

But you can also purchase this brand on Sasa and they seem to have a good selection right now for decent prices.
If anyone gives this brand a try, let me know what you think! :)
