So, my sister's Korean wedding was in couple of days' time and I had no time to pack up everything I need. I'm embarrassed to admit I only had few hours to pack up travel essential and must haves for the wedding with a crazy schedule (1 photoshoot, 2 fashion shows in between!). One thing great about being in Seoul is you're in kimchiland, plastics face land and also never ending skin care & cosmetics offerings! While the fam bam was in Hongdae, we checked out Stylenanda - famous for the 3CE 3 Concept Eyes brand.
On every other day, I rock the naked face so well. At times, sunscreen would be it. At work, you'll only spot an almost bare faced me - faint BB cream, eyebrow pencil and blusher become my saviors. Noticed a lot of Korean celebrities rocking amazing bold lip colors, even every other Korean we see on the streets do too! Made me wonder, why do Malaysian females not dress up or look as good as them? Well, I'm one of them - I would never be caught in bright lip color without looking like a train wreck or hooker. Can't blame the horrific cosmetic counter with melted lip color testers or whatever shit gets transmitted to your lips for that matter of face. Ugh, enough of that.
If you're Asian, chances are you've heard of this brand - 3CE (3 Concept Eyes). The Asian cosmetics phenomena. You can't find this in Malaysian store, but you can buy online through the Stylenanda website. When I was in Hong Kong, crazy PRC flocked their counters to 'sapu' stocks! When I checked out their site, I was surprised that this cosmetic giant has been around for almost 8 years already! Where have I been? (Masuk bawah tempurung)
Interesting canvas for selfies in IG. Their flagship store is 1322 square meters big - it's really spacious, 2 storey high and before you know it, the fam bam spent like an hour here. Crazy right? If you're into their fashion, they have two floors of fashionable clothings. We're there for 3CE.
Ready to party? Pop of colors so you don't walk head on into their glass door.
Fell in love with the packaging - just so tempting and lip smackingly cute!
I picked the Glass series lip color in Glass Red. I know, I know. The word "RED" is just daunting right for most people? Let's see how the pigment and color goes...
It's really glossy, smooth and has this hint of pink when applied on your hand, similar to lip gloss. FYI, their staff wipes off lip testers with tissues after every customer, so if you're freaked out about putting testers directly onto your lips, just wipe them off on your tissue before applying. So much for hygiene in Malaysia's cosmetic counters!
Lol, this ain't a murder scene. This is just how intense the color is on a piece of tissue.
Tadaaaa...Loved how subtle yet feminine the lip color looked at different occasions. It's intense for sure, lasting and best part is lips stay moisturized for hours! For a person who hates wearing lipstick, I'd have to say this product is great! Check out their website for different types of lip colors to figure out which is best for your look.
The 3CE 3 Concept Eyes Powdery Lip & Cheek is one of their best seller. If you prefer two in one product, you should get this. It has this soft mousse texture and finishes in a powdery matte look. Makes good pairing if you're out for clubbing and need to reapply in between. The only negative would be stained fingers.
Minimalist packaging with a pop of color on the inside. It's so appetizing in a way. Size is petite, which makes it clutch friendly.
Picked #LINGGO HOHO. What a cute & cheeky name.
Opened up my product for first time and realized there's a crack at the side. :(
Here's how the product is like. Apply a layer of lip balm before applying this for sexy finish. Even if you're under the weather, the colors simply brighten up your complexion any day!
OMG...the fam bam had a great time at the FREE photobooth. Was a weekday, we didn't have to queue and took dozens of shot!
Stay pretty & peace out!
