What's in My Pouch: 7 Recommended Items

Today, I'm going to introduce the items in my pouch! I've brought 7 products that I've been using frequently lately😊

1. Picasso Brush Contour 01

Picasso brushes are so famous, aren't they? If I had to pick my favorite brush among them, it would be Contour 01💕 Isn't the squirrel hair the true essence of Picasso? While No. 108 is the most famous for blush brushes, I actually prefer this one much more. If No. 108 applies clear, watercolor-like finish, this one delivers a soft, bubbly color payoff. I loved that the bristles were soft and elastic. The bristle size is just right, and the angled cut makes it easy to use for anything. It pairs well with baked blush😆 I'm planning to stock up on another one!! The only downside is that it used to be squirrel hair, but it seems to have changed to a mix of squirrel hair and goat hair now. Still, it's great!

2. RMK Ingenious Powder Cheeks - 04 Pale Pink

This is my holy grail product, and I’m so sad it’s been discontinued. It gives off a rosy glow that truly looks like a watercolor painting...😍 When applied with Contour 01, a subtle pink shimmer comes up, which is so pretty!! I don't think there is any other blush that can match the unique color of Pale Pink. Since the brightness is high, I load up the brush generously without controlling the amount, but it doesn't look excessive and still looks gorgeous. I highly recommend it for Spring Warm and Summer Cool skin tones!! I bought this right before it was discontinued, but I loved it so much that I paid double the price on Carrot Market to stock up on another one.

3. Bobbi Brown Extra Lip Tint - Bare Melon

If I had to pick my absolute favorite colored lip balm, it would be Bobbi Brown! It’s a natural-looking balm that’s great for wearing even without makeup. A pink tint emerges a little after application, but it’s not too intense and looks just perfect. The color suits spring warm skin tones well. I have a habit of picking at my lips, so they are always dry, but this product worked well for me. It has excellent moisturizing properties, so it doesn't accentuate dry patches and keeps my lips hydrated for a long time. They often have buy-one-get-one-free deals, so I think it’s pretty good value if you time your purchase to take advantage of them😊

4. Prelude Dinto Nostalgia Eye Palette - 72 Little Austin

This is a new item from Daiso that I bought not long ago! I really liked the colors, so I used it again today. Shade 71 has high brightness so it doesn't show up very well, but 72 is just the right amount of visible and pretty. All four colors are matte and non-shimmer, so they are perfect for daily use. It's a palette, but at only 5,000 won per item, the value for money is really great. The only downside is that there is a lot of fallout.

5. Tony Moly Get It Tint Glaze Balm - 04 Toffee Apple

This is the highest quality product among the Tanghulu lip gloss balms released by road shops. It is a clear red color that suits both warm and cool undertones. It looks subtle with just one coat, but it remains beautiful even when layered. I liked that the color intensity increases without becoming dull when reapplied. The glass-like shine is so pretty that I wanted to buy other colors as well. It has a soft texture that melts upon contact with the lips. Like other gloss balms, it has a non-retractable design, so you apply it little by little. I also like that the case is matte rather than glossy, so it doesn't leave fingerprints.

6. The Face Shop Ink Lasting Cushion Mesh Glow - V201 Apricot Beige

I received this product for testing, and I absolutely loved it. Since it is a mesh type, it applies more evenly to the skin than a regular cushion. The texture is fine and moisturizing, making it easy to control the amount applied. It spreads smoothly without smudging or clumping. It contains skincare ingredients, so it keeps the skin hydrated. The finish gives the skin a beautiful, subtle inner glow. The puff is a Rubycell one, which offers good adhesion and creates a smooth finish. The V201 shade I used is a bright #21 color; the coverage isn't high, but it is decent. The light purple case is pretty, and the magnetic closure makes it easy to open and close.

7. Apieu Waterlock Finisher Mini

This product was originally released as a Japan exclusive, but it came to Korea last summer! I really loved it because it's a cushion type, so you don't need a brush, and it's easy to use. The formula applies moisturizingly and finishes with a soft, matte look, which felt fresh to me. Powders often clump, but I liked that this one didn't. I have the full-size product, but for portability, I carry the mini size I received as a gift at the Seongsu pop-up!
