K-BEAUTY MAKEUP STARTER KIT WITH EASY ACCESS PRODUCTS

Today I'm sharing with you a k-beauty makeup starter kit I put together. This makeup starter kit is featuring Korean makeup that you can easily get from Memebox.com. In case you are wondering, Memebox is not sponsoring this post. I included my referral link to Memebox in this post but I purchased everything in the post myself. 

I decided to feature everything from Memebox simply because that's where I started my k-beauty journey and in my opinion, they are one of the best k-beauty online destinations. This makeup starter kit is great for creating natural and fresh everyday makeup look that is suitable for both school and work.

FACE - IOPE Air Cushion XP #N23

IOPE is known for their air cushion and their air cushion is definitely a cult favorite for a good reason. The one I'm using is in N23 and "N" stand for Natural Finish. This is a great starter cushion as it provides decent coverage and lasting time but also gives your skin a slightly dewy natural look. You will not look like you have tons of makeup on but your skin will look flawless.

#N23 matches pretty well with my NC20-25 skin tone. If you are lighter than NC20, #21 will probably work better for you.

Unfortunately, #N23 is sold out on Memebox but you can still get it from Amazon with Prime shipping. 

EYE SHADOW - I'm Meme I'm Stick Shadow

Stick shadows are very easy and quick to use, which is great for makeup beginners. I'm Meme brand stick shadows have a great color selection and are very affordable. The color payoff of these shadow sticks is pretty good and I also like their shimmery and almost metallic finish.

The two colors I chose for this starter kit are #ES402 Ash Stone and #ES409 Hazel Topaz. Hazel Topaz is a really pretty champagne color with a purple hue. I like to use this color all over my lid. Ash stone is a grayish bronze shade, which is perfect for outer V.

Here are the swatches of these two colors: Ash Stone is on the left and Hazel Topaz is on the left.

MASCARA - Beauty People Bubble GGum Mascara - Long Lash

Memebox has a very limited mascara selection. However, this cute mascara from Beauty People is surprisingly good. The mascara creates a very natural look and adds great length to the lashes. I also love the playful name and packaging of this product.

The Mascara wand is very small, which make it very easy to use and also great for bottom lashes.

BLUSH - Botanic Farm Romantic Blooming Lip & Cheek - Soft Coral

I love cream blushes as they are very easy to use and very blendable. This Botanic farm blush gives a very soft and natural color.

This is a lip and cheek 2 in 1 color. However, I think it works better on the cheeks.

LIP - SECRET KEY Sweet Glam Tint Glow & I'm Gel Tint

As a lip junky, I have to include more than one lip products. Secret Key sweet glam tint glow has always been one of my favorite lip products. See my previous review on it here . The pink color is very wearable and easy to handle.

I'm gel tint from Memebox is one of my recent discoveries. This tint is very lightweight and stays on the lips for a very long time.

In the image below, I'm wearing I'm gel tint in peach coral.

Here is the finish look and I'm wearing the Secret Key sweet glam tint glow in pink in this picture.

MY AB BLUSH COLLECTION WITH SWATCHES

Today, I want to share my entire AB blush collection with all of you. As I'm pretty new to AB makeup, my blush collection is pretty moderate but I think it will still be interesting to share.

Let's start with an overview of my entire collection which has 6 blushes in total.

#1 Innisfree Mineral Blush in #4 

This blush has a frosty finish with some very subtle gold sparkles. However, it does give a very natural flush to the cheeks. #4 is a very nice light pink color that is perfect for a natural makeup look.

#2 Skinfood Rose Essence Soft Cream Blusher in #4

I love to use cream blushes in the summer and this is one of my favorite blushes. This blush is very blendable but also buildable, which is perfect for any makeup look. I also think the rose scent is very pleasant. #4 is a muted coral color that is very easy to wear.

#3 CANMAKE cream cheek in #07

This is the only Japanese brand blush I have and I think it is an okay blush. The packaging feels a little cheap but the color pigmentation is pretty nice and it has

a decent lasting time too.

You can now get this blush on Amazon and Prime is available. Click Here

Here are the swatches of the above three blushes:

#4 TONYMOLY Cheektone Cream Blush in #C04

A cream blush with a thicker consistency. I like that it is a matte blush and has a very great color payoff. #C04 is a nice dusty rose color that's great for fall and winter. This is probably my 2nd favorite blush out of all.

#5 Etude House Princess Happy Ending Rose Cheek Blusher in #2 Coral Shine Rose

Gorgeous packaging and blush design! The blush is very shimmery and has a gold sheen to the color. I like to use it as a blush topper to go on top of my cream blushes.

#6 Etude House Dreaming Swan Eye and Cheek in #04 Releve Purple

Super cute packaging and very dreamy concept! Just looking at this blush makes me feel happy and full of joy. I'm also a big fan of the tin packaging! However, the color payoff of the blush is not great and the purple color barely shows up on my NC25 - NC30 olive skin tone...

Comment below to share with me your favorite blushes! I love reading all your comments!
