Moonshot Cream Paint LightFit Air Review - Almond Rose, Sweet Mauve, Chilling Coral, Tangerine Breeze, Flower Child


This is from my same Moonshot haul; after my pretty glowing and optimistic review of the Moonshot Air Blusher, here's the one of the Moonshot Cream Paint LightFit Air! I have all the five colours swatched here for your viewing — Almond Rose, Sweet Mauve, Chilling Coral, Tangerine Breeze, Flower Child.

It's one of the most popular lip products in the Moonshot line for people who like a natural, soft matte lip that 'feels like air'. It comes encased in a beautiful, matte translucent container with a standard curved doe foot applicator. Good enough. It only contains 3g of product, which I think is a tinge small especially considering it's not the cheapest at USD$14.


 Here are the swatches of all the colours available. It's a pretty standard range,

501 Almond Rose: It's an MLBB, nude coral beige. There's an interesting orange undertone to this which makes it something different from your usual nude lipsticks.
502 Sweet Mauve: A really feminine rose pink that would work great on all skin tones.
503: Chilling Coral: My favourite! A fresh coral pink that really suits my light-medium skin tone.
504 Tangerine Breeze: A vibrant cool orange that I felt didn't suit me very well, but makes for a good accent.
505 Flower Child: A warm rose plum colour that makes for a great statement lip with most eye looks.



In terms of formulation, I am really impressed! It has that lovely velvet matte finish with very good colour pay off, and it really feels very light on the lips! It feels like I'm wearing nothing at all. It makes it easy to have a full lip colour, but I also like dotting it on my lips and spreading it out for a more subtle wash of colour. Overall, the longevity of the product is decent given the nature of the formulation, lasting a good couple of hours before fading really naturally.

I am a huge fan of this product. I should mention that it reminds me of Colourpop's Ultra Blotted Lip, which I love as well, but quite a bit creamier. Overall, recommend!

Rating: 9.5/10
Repurchase: Would consider for select colours

(The colour I have shown above is 503 Chilling Coral)

Moonshot Air Blusher Review and Swatches - Soft Peony, Breeze Fig & Dry Coral


Treated myself to a large haul of Moonshot products just a while ago! Wanted to give a quick review on them and my thoughts over the next couple of posts.

For anyone who is unsure, Moonshot is the beauty brand of YG and one of the trendiest brands around town nowadays. Easily available on Sephora and some other major retailers, so it shouldn't be too difficult to get your hands on them. The product I'm reviewing for today is the Moonshot Air Blusher — I have them in all three colours; Soft Peony, Breeze Fig and Dry Coral!


The product information touts the blush as having (1) air effect with clear colour, (2) MMBB effect (My Mood But Better; Korea's version of MLBB haha) and (3) long wearing effect. The packaging comes encased in a pretty standard looking plastic transparent case. Makes it easy to see what product and colour you have, but not incredibly exciting nor groundbreaking. I thought that the cardboard container was prettier haha. But if it works!



I got three colours — Soft Peony, Breeze Fig and Dry Coral. Soft Peony is a very soft pink with blue undertones, so it comes out a bit 'neon' on my light-medium tone skin. I'd imagine it's a great blush for people with very fair skin looking for a girly look. Breeze Fig is a darker, mauvish pink, and one of my personal favourites for that feminine, sexy makeup look. It's also the only blush with a (slight) shimmer as all the others are matte. Dry Coral is a universal coral-brown that would be great for a more natural, tanned look. A pretty standard, must-have inclusion in your make up collection that'll be amazing on all skin tones.

I actually quite like the formulation. It's soft and buttery, and all three colours applied really well on my skin. They're not too pigmented which means my heavy hands can get an even, light application that I appreciate, without making me too clownish. It lasted pretty decently on my skin as well.

Overall, a pretty standard blush that I would recommend!

You can find the review of the Moonshot Cream Paint Lightfit Air here ;)

Repurchase: Perhaps yes for Breeze Fig, partial to the others

Too Cool For School Egg Mellow Cream Review


Isn't the packaging adorable? Too Cool For School really gets me with their packaging. Everytime I step into their store, the quirky vibe of the entire space usually gets me leaving with 1-2 products in the bag.

This is a review of the Too Cool For School Egg Mellow Cream, an all-in-one cream that is supposed to literally do it all.. Be your serum, your moisturizer, your neck cream, eye cream, sleeping mask, for all the firming groundbreaking earth-shattering benefits to your skin. Incredients wise, the infusion of collagen fibres and ceramides would likely inject a good amount of moisture.


It's a pretty thick cream, great for dehydrated and dryer skin types. While I can imagine people gettng turned off by the very heavy artificial scent, I don't really mind it that much.

One thing I like about this product is its viscous texture and how it feels like it instantly 'plumps' up the skin surface and fills out the fine lines. While it's a little too thick for me nowadays, will definitely whip this out during the colder winter months, and as a final step to my evening skin care routine. Easily available at Ulta for USD$36, I think it's a pretty good product if you're venturing into Korean skincare!
