Hello everybody!

Today I'll be reviewing and swatching the Peripera Airy Ink Velvet line from shade #1 to #5. I believe that many of you should be familiar with this product especially if you are a K-makeup lover! Peripera is very well-known for its lip products and if you are into Korean lip tints like I do, you might find yourself in a constant dilemma when trying to decide which colours to get for yourself.

---

Before I got my hands on the Airy Ink Velvet, I was already using products from its popular Ink the Velvet series and I loved them. You can imagine my excitement when I found out that they are coming out with this new and unique 'airy ink velvet' formula! Needless to say, I went searching high and low for them online and found some sellers on Shopee that ship these babies to me directly from Korea.

These products have gained a lot of popularity and attention from the media and now they are more readily available online on most shopping sites. I chose Shopee because it's the most convenient for me and I simply just love the platform for getting stuff online. Qoo10 will be another great place to get your hands on them as well!

---

There was only 5 shades available when I made my order, these colours are their spring/summer collection. Peripera eventually came out with 5 new shades for fall/winter as well as a brand new formula called Ink Cloud Velvet, all of which I have yet to try but I will definitely get my hands on them once I clear out some space from my makeup drawer!

You can also check out this video to watch me swatch these colours on my lips in live actions! In this video, I also talked about my thoughts on these products as a whole, as well as my personal ranking of these 5 shades and why! You should definitely watch it since I share more details and thoughts of these cute little ink bottles in the video as I do not want to make my post too long!

Show some love! ♡

Shade #1 - Heart Graprefruit

This my favourite shade to wear among these 5 shades that I got!

The colour is very fun and it helps to brighten my complexion even when I am having a dull face day. However, I do understand that a bright shade is not necessarily suitable for everyone and everyday but I really do urge you guys to try it out and share with me your thoughts on it!

If you have similar skin tone and hair colour as me, I think that you will really enjoy wearing this shade a lot! It's one of my perfect perk-me-up shades and I am getting a lot of use out of it! Totally worth the buy for me imo.

Shade #2 - Pretty Orange Pink

(second shade from the right)
I think the name of this shade has already explain the colour of it very clearly haha!
It is a really pretty pink colour with a hint of orange.

This was the most popular shade in Korea for a pretty long time and it was out of stock everywhere for a while. The colour is really soft but fun at the same time since it leans a little on the pastel-neon side. I think this shade will be perfect for those who are looking for a pretty orange pink colour, it is literally the name of this shade haha!

If you're not a fan of bright orangey shade like Heart Grapefruit, I think this will be the mellow version of it that you can try! It sure deserves the popularity that it has among Kmakeup lovers.

However, I do find that this particular shade tends to cling onto my dry patches (sometimes) and enhances the textural areas which I would prefer to hide. If you have non-problematic smooth moisturised lip then this should'nt be a concern for you.

According to some of the reviews I read online, some say it clings to dry patches and some say it doesn't. So I think at the end of the day, it depends on the condition of your lips but there's no harm giving it a try since it is pretty affordable and if you really have trouble wearing it on your lips, try using it as a cream blush!

Shade #3 - Sold Out Red
 (middle shade)
Sold Out Red is a classic red shade that one must have in your makeup collection.
It is a blue tone red, very simple and straightforward!

I personally like reds and oranges on me as these colours tend to bring more life to my face. I like this shade but I am not wow-ed by it. The shade is pretty common in Kmakeup line so you might already have a similar one in your current lip collection! However, the formula does make it a little bit more special since it feels so light and comfortable on the lips yet has really good pigmentation.

Shade #4 - Beautiful Coral Pink

Beautiful Coral Pink is a bright pink shade that instantly makes you summer-party ready!
However, contrary to the name, I don't personally see 'coral' in this shade. Let me know if you think this shade is more of a 'bright pink' or a 'bright coral pink'!

None of the other shades screams summer like this one does. This colour is girly but at the same time it's fun and vibrant! It is definitely a show stopper imo. Moreover, it applies and stains really nicely on my lips which certainly add more brownies point to this cute shade!

However, I am not really a fan of pink lip on me as I think that it kinda clashes with my skin tone and for some reason, I just don't think that I can pull pink lips off. That being said, this shade is not my most used or most loved but the reason is simply personal and has nothing to do with this colour.

I still think that this is a very fun shade even though I don't personally wear it that much but I believe many of you pink lips lovers out there are definitely gonna like this a lot!

Shade #5 - Elf Light Rose
(first shade from the left)
Elf Light Rose is a MLBB shade that leans a little bit to pink. This shade is the only neutral shade out of the 5 that I owned. It doesn't lean too cool nor too warm, that is why when you read online reviews of this collection, many would say that this shade is one of their faves or that they are getting a lot of uses out of this because this colour is neutral in tone, it caters to a larger group of people!

I like a good MLBB shade when I find one. Even though this shade does not stand out to me initially, I do find myself using it quite frequently since it's so easy to use and good for everyday. However, if you do have darker skin tone that I do, this might wash you out a little since it's on the pale/white based side.

Conclusion:

(after trying to remove these tints using micellar cleansing water)

All 5 colours from this line are gorgeous and the consistency are really unique and comfortable on the lips. The staying power is pretty impressive too and these shades stain quite evenly as well! As you can see from the second pic, after wiping it down with tissue papers, the colours are still there because it really does tint the skin, making them last a lot longer than a regular lipstick.

Even after using micellar cleansing water to try to remove these products, you can still faintly that the tints can still be seen vaguely on the skin, which further show its potential in the longevity department!

All in all, I really do like these products and I am still planning to get more shades from the Airy Ink Velvet line in the near future.

If I do miss out some points either in this post or in my video, do ask me on any of my social media platforms and I will be more than happy to answer! Ohya, do check out my review on YouTube as I go into more details in the video!

さようなら ♥

I am finally back with another contact lens review after almost 4 years (i am sorry) haha! If you wish to check out my previous contact lens review on some of the EOS lenses that I've tried in the past, you can click here and enjoy time travelling back to when I was 4 years younger!

I am sharing with you guys 4 pairs of lenses that I've been wearing for the past few months so hopefully I can give you some inspirations on which to get for yourself the next time you go contact lens shopping!

Let's begin!!

Luxury Babe Lens in Luxury 35 (grey)

 This is how it looks like at night with a dimmer light. 

I really do like this pair as it is comfortable to wear and I can wear it for pretty long hours. I especially love to pair this with simple eye make up + korean ombre lip look!

However, like what I have mentioned, this does enlarge your pupils quite a bit. Therefore, for those of you who are into more natural looking lenses in terms of diameter, I would really recommend you to consider the enlarging effect of this lens before buying it.

Luxury Babe Lens in Luxury 19 (brown)

I always make sure to get this pair of lenses whenever I am ordering some from this brand! However, this particular lens is not the most comfortable as compared to some of the other lenses that I've tried. Based on my personal experiences, contact lenses are usually the comfiest when you first open them (as that's when they are the freshest and cleanest). This is not the case for luxury 19 lol. If I remember correctly, my previous luxury 19 has the same problem as my current pair, whereby they kinda sting and make my eyes watery and red (kinda irritated) during the first few days and even weeks. I don't wear them out since they sting my eyes. I simply just leave the lenses in multi-purpose solution and change out the solution frequently to keep them clean. I also try on the lenses a couple times a week to check if they still sting. After their rebellious phase is over, the lenses become just as comfortable as the rest and I can wear them for long hours without feeling overly dry.

I have experienced the same problem with both pairs of my luxury 19 lenses, which makes me wonder if it's really worth the pain and trouble just to be able to wear them and that I am probably risking my eyes for it lol. Maybe it is not the case now or maybe it is just that particular batch that I suay suay buy has this problem. All in all, a word of warning for me would be try it at your own risk. 

Besides the discomfort during the initial stage, this lens is absolutely gorgeous. I understand that some people prefer lenses without the thick black rims because it might make the pupils look too enlarged and weird for some. While I totally agree with the statement but I still would like my contact lenses to help define my pupils a little bit to make myself look more fresh and awake.
This lens does not has a define black rim instead it has a series of lines in a darker brown colour. These lines are of slightly different length (refer to the image above for better understanding haha) which makes this lens look less dolly and more natural while at the same time it helps to define the pupils.

That is why I keep coming back to this lens even thought I have had 2 not so pleasant experiences with it. All in all, I would buy it again to give it one last chance to see if the lens still sting and quite frankly if it does (again), I will just toss it and not order it ever again haha.

I love to wear this when I am doing a slightly heavier make up look, like smoky eyes, '混血儿' makeup look, etc. It pairs really well with my usual makeup looks too and does not look too over the top and light/pale in colour (which is not my cup of tea, personally). 

Dream Color 1 in Mini Grace (grey)

I bought this lens from Dazzle Me (Platinum Fashion Mall, Bangkok). I am pretty sure most of you should be familiar with this store if you are into coloured contact lenses. Dazzle Me has a wide range of lenses offering different designs, colours and diameters.

I don't really like this particular colour on me. I feel like it washes me out a little bit. However, the colour is really gorgeous if you are into or looking for a pair of relatively light grey lens. The diameter is not too big and therefore the enlarging effect is not too much to the point where it looks creepy. I really want to start buying lenses that are not too big in diameter but as for now I will just have to slowly work my way through the lenses that I have previously stocked up on.

If I were to be a 100% honest, I haven't actually wear this lens out yet even though I have had it for quite some time now. It can be a little too much for me as I am very used to darker coloured lenses so I guess it will take some time for me to slowly transition into using lighter coloured ones.

Nevertheless, I think this lens is pretty nice but it is one that you definitely has to wear makeup with, in order for it to not overpower your face. 

It does has a thin black rim to frame your pupils so even though the colour is a little on the lighter side, it will still give you a define and awake look!

I think I will definitely has to start experimenting with this lens a little more to see its full potential and to find out how to match it with my style.

Unknown #1 :')

If I were to choose between this or the luxury 35 (grey), I would probably go for this as it looks better even with little makeup and good for everyday wear. 

While luxury 35 (grey) is great, too, but on certain days where I look extra pale (e.g. when I pulled an all nighter to study for exam / binge watch Netflix), it can wash me out a little bit if I didn't make an effort to put on some lip tint and blush to make me look more alive.

Both are great, now it's just depends on your preferences.

I really do wear this very often and it's super comfortable too! It's such a shame that I didn't note down the name of this lens so let's hope that I will randomly come across this lens again hahah!

Okay, that's the end of this long ass post filled with my creepy eye shots.

I hope that this post gives you a little bit more perspectives on the different lenses that I wore for the last few months and give you some ideas on what you might want to get the next time you feel like buying some lenses to try!
