💋 Maikohan Silky Fit Lip Tint Essence | Review & Swatches |



 Today we have the last product of the J-Beauty month. I have to say I really enjoyed sharing all these products with you all and I hope you did too. Having the oportunity of trying these goodies helped me to learn a lot more about Japanese beauty brands and their quality, it is as great as Korean products. I'm defo a fan now and I can't wait to find and try more of their products. Plus, they are super cute as well!!

This last product I'm gonna share is the SANA Japan Maikohan Silky Fit Lip Tint Essence, which is a semi-mate lip tint with a kind of velvety finish. The shade is "06 Sakuranbo" and it's a beautiful bright cherry pink.




As always, let's start with the packaging. It comes in a tube container that, in my opinion makes the application a little messy at the beginning because it's hard to control the amount of product that comes from the tube. It gets easier as you use it tho. It has a pretty flower print on the tube and the logo in gold. Simple but kinda elegant and pretty!



The lip tint has a very smooth and creamy texture that is new for me to find in a lip tint but, it's still very watery and not thick at all.



When the product dries, it has this soft velvety finish but the color remains as bright. It is super pigmented and long lasting.

Looking online it says that it is inspired by the Japanese "dye/blur" culture. I'm guessing is kind of like creating a blur, gradient look using your fingers. Both ways look really nice.


Having to wear a mask everytime I'm out makes it hard for me to wear liptick but, I can't wait to use it a lot more real soon.

☾ Creer Beaute Miracle Romance Multi Carry Balm "Transformation Brooch"

This has to be the cutest and most perfect lip balm ever. My friend Tomi was kind enough to send me this Creer Beaute Miracle Romance Multi Carry Balm because she knows how much I love Sailor Moon. ♡

I've seen these Sailor Moon cuties on videos and blogs before but I had no idea Creer Beaute is a Japanese cosmetics brand that belongs to Bandai! So I think they have other cute anime makeup products including Pokemon.

I have to take a moment to appreciate the packaging. I love how bright and colorful it is. Defo Sailor Moon style! You can find the TOEI Animation gold sticker on the back. Information is only in Japanese tho.


And the balm... it just perfect! I got the Transformation Brooch but they have other designs too. I believe they include the other Scouts brooches. 



These are only some of the designs they have

It has the perfect size to carry it around with you but let's face it, it's worth having on display. When you open it, you see the Miracle Romance logo on the lid, with a cute moon desing border. 


The balm contains ingredients like: jojoba, seed oil and olive oil. It has a strong roses scent to it.

Honestly, I haven't tried the balm yet. The cool thing is, once you finish the product you can remove the part where the balm was and keep the brooch as a pill box, case thingy (whatever they're called)

I'll use it eventually, I just want to keep it for display purposes for a little while, hehe.

💋 Kose Visée Crystal Duo Lipstick | Review & Swatches |



 I really like the gradient lips look. I've been loving it since it started trending in Korea, years ago. But truth is, I'm not good when it comes to this technique so, lippies especially made for it make it a lot easier for me. 

This Visée Crystal Duo Lipstick gives you that gradient effect with a glossy finish. It has a clear layer on the outside, that gives a shiny glossy effect and helps to blend the colored layer on the inside.


This lippie is the PK862 which is a pink shade with a coral-ish undertone and it's actually very mosturizing and works well without applying lipbalm, leaving your lips soft and moisturized for a long time. Plus, it doesn't settle on my lip lines, it doesn't have any scent and it doesn't feel thick on the lips.

The color is not super strong with one application. It does give you a nice and subtle pop of color but, you can always build up the color if you want it to look a little darker.


The presentation is really pretty! It has this kind of lace pattern that looks super elegant and girly. I love it!

Durability wise, it's good. You do have to reapply if you eat or drink something but, the color doesn't fade completely. It leave a nice hint of color on the lips.

DHC Lip Cream Conditioning Lip Balm


 It is no secret a love a good lip balm to help my forever chapped and dry lips. I've been trying different ones and so far, the one from Burt's Bees is on my top favorites. 

I've read so many good comments about the DHC Lip Cream Conditioning Lip Balm so, I was really excited to finally get the chance to try it. I have to say that it is true what they say, it is one great lip cream. It's even an awards winning product in Japan.



It applies smoothly and hydrates the lips immediately, giving them a nice glossy look without feeling thick or sticky. The moisture lasts for a long time without the need to reapply. It's a good base to wear before your lipstick.

It conatins Lanolin Oil, beeswax and olive fruit oils, among others, which help to soothe the lips and also work as antioxidants.

I've been using it everyday for over a month as my day time lip balm along with the Burt's Bees at night and my lips defo look and feel better.

☾ Sailor Moon X ColourPop | Daylight Lip Bundle | Review & Swatches



Remember when I showed you my SM eyeshadows? Well, after waiting for a couple of months because of the pandemic, I got my hands on another item from this collab. This time is the Daylight Lip Bundle that comes with two products: Ultra Blotted Lip and Ultra Glossy Lip.
They have two sets, one is "Daylight" (the one I got) and "Moonlight" which is slightly darker.

I swear this products are sold out as soon as they are back in stock. Big shoutout to SKINA for contacting me when I was desperately looking for this products, hehe.

But, enough of the random talk, let's get to the proucts. Like I did with the eyeshadows, I'll start with the packaging.

☾ Packaging

Since most of the SM things I own have Usagi in her Senshi uniform, I choose school uniform / normal life Usagi stuff whenever I can, that's one of the reasons why I chose this set.
As well as the eyeshadows, the box is all pink with holographic deets. On the front we have Usagi and Luna, holographic moons on both sides and Luna on the back with a little description of the products.
Too girly, too cute, I love it!





The lippies inside are very simple to be honest, not that they are not pretty but, I think they could've done a better job (like those Japanese collabs). I feel like you can do a lot with something Sailor Moon themed.
The lippies are very clean looking with a pink lid and gold moon details.


Each of them has the SM logo and the name of the product, in gold too.

☾ Lippies

Like I said, it comes with 2 different products:

Ultra Blotted Lip: It's called "Usagi" and it's a bright pink liquid lipstick with a soft, matte velvety finish. This one doesn't have any scent to it.



It is described as "a medium coverage matte lipstick that creates a soft, diffused look. it is completely transfer-proof and long-wearing but also lightweight and comfortable. no cracking or flaking! leaves lips smooth and fresh."


I agree with the medium coverage, you actually have to build up the color a little to get an even finish. It is transfer proof but, not really long lasting. Color wears off as son as you eat or drink something.
I could be biased here because of how much I like SM but honestly, even tho the color is pretty and the finish is really nice, I'm not impressed with this one.



As you can see, the color set on the lip lines.

Ultra Glossy Lip: It's called "Moon Tiara" (hence the color) and it's a light orangle gloss with tiny gold and pink glitters. Even tho it's gloss, it is not sticky at all and has a nice vanilla scent.




Description: "swipe on our hi-shine, smoothing (never sticky) gloss and prepare to be obsessed. enriched with jojoba oil to moisturize, nourish, and provide a cushiony feel for juicy, fuller-looking lips. our brush applicator applies a perfect plush layer that looks and feels amazing. five flawless finishes from 3-d pearl to sheer tinted colour. apply over naked lips or your favorite lipstick."

This gloss is not tinted at all, in my opinion. But it works well on top of other colors, giving your lips a glossy, sparkly look. I have lots of peachy shdes so I think I can se it with them.
The aplicator is a small brush that makes the application clean and easy. I like it.






I tried applying the gloss on top of the lipstick, and even tho the color looked nice, the gloss kinda swipes off(?) the color as you apply it.

I don't regret buying this set because it's part of my Sailor Moon collection and to me, that's good enough but, I know there are better quality lippies out there for the same price I got these. So, if you're not a SM fan, I don't think these would be worth it. If you wanna but something from this collection, I suggest getting the eyeshadows or a blush. I've heard many good comments on the blushes and, they have pretty colors too.

Time for me to go win love by daylight~ ♡ Bye bye!
