EYEKO Fat balm Strawberry Minty Raspberry past Review & Swatch
I've had Eyeko Fat balms for awhile now, and I'm sure most of you have heard of them.
They are Fat lip balms that can also be used on cheeks. Containing Jojoba to help nourish lips and contains no petrochemical.
These go for about $8 plus shipping on their site
To my surprise Eyeko was once sold at Sephora, I'm not exactly sure why they stopped
They also have a new design on their packaging.
So if you purchase one with the old design it probably isn't fresh.
It comes in 3 flavors
Minty, Strawberry, & Raspberry.
The colors are sheer, Minty is an iridescent pink, Strawberry is red, Raspberry to me looks brown with a little bit of purple.
They are scented and I think the minty one is a little bit flavored.
I like the Minty one the best for color & flavor. I used Strawberry from time to time.
The Raspberry one is too dark for me and I usually don't use dark colors for my lips.
I don't like using these on my cheeks it feels a bit heavy n greasy, unless you use a light layer and really blend.
If you plan on getting just one I would recommend the minty one for the fresh feeling on your lips or the Strawberry one if your looking for a cheek tint too.

MISSHA M Perfect Cover BB Cream Review
I haven't posted in while >.< ... but I am Back.. 
Missha is a korean brand, that is actually very accessible in the United States. They Have a website www.Missha.net available in both English & Korean. They Even opened up a store in New york. They offer a variety of make up at a reasonable price range.
They also have a number of BB Creams Available. I purchased The M Perfect Cover BB Cream in #23 Natural Beige .
The first thing I noticed about this BB cream is that it comes in 4 different shades, since the usual BB cream comes in 1 or 2 shades. I guess since they are marketing in the US they are including more shades to suit the array of skintones.
M perfect cover BB cream cost about $29.99 for a 50 ml tube.
I got the 30 ml one to try which isn't available on their site.
According to the site It supposed to:
★ Provide a natural coverage with soothing & moisturizing properties
★ Suitable for all Skin types (including acne prone skin)
★ Can be used as make up base & foundation
Also:
★ Whitening
★ Anti -Wrinkle
★ UV protection (SPF 42 PA +++)
Onto the swatches...
It provides good coverage and when using the the right amount does not feel thick or heavy.
Anything with feel heavy if you use too much.
Before opening the the tube I used the sample packets I got which turned out to be a good idea. I found that my skin tone matches better with #21 Light Beige instead of #23 Natural Beige. The 2 shades are not that different from each other, but I found that #23 is a little too dark not even a big difference but I feel like its more noticeable when foundation is a little too dark than when its a little too light. So I ended up not opening the box hehe.
On a note This works well with M BB Boomer which is a primer and will help make your BB Cream last longer, which I also bought but did not open yet so look forward to a review of that.
If anybody wants this BB Cream Let me know I still need to sell it
so Contact me if interested. $17 (Sold)
If you still want to order korean brand products contact me,
It's better to order in hauls

EYEKO Cream Moisturizer Review & Swatch
I've actually had this for a long while now, I'm sure most of you already know about it. I'll be doing reviews & swatches of not so recent products from time to time ^_^.
Eyeko is a cosmetic brand in london, There is a Japanese influence that is why it sounds like Aiko (love, child) in japanese. Their packaging and logo features an anime like character with pink hair.
The brand's signature product is their Eyeko Cream It is a 3 in 1 Moisturizer, Highlighter, & Eye Cream.
What it's supposed to do:
Create a flawless base
Moisturize
Highlight
Eye cream? ( not to specific on that )
Attribute:
Anti-Oxidants ( Vitamin A & E)
Vitamin C for "radiant, clear complexion"
infused with light reflectors
It comes in a pink jar,the cream looked more whipped when I first opened it.
There is plenty of product, it has lasted me quite a while
Hmm I dont think these photos do it justice ( will update with better pics soon)
Though you get the idea, i dont think shimmer really gets captured in photos anyway
Great if you want to add shimmer to face, sometimes I even put some on my arms, shoulders, and legs, pretty much anywhere you want to highlight or add shimmer ( not hair lol) .
I usually put a thin layer all over my face and then add some more to places I want to highlight.
(ie cheeks, nose, forehead)
When done right shimmer can look super gorgeous, just remember with eyeko cream a little goes a long way. Over doing it can make you look to shiny and give you that sweaty look >.< ★Mari
