Have you ever heard of a vegan meta brand? What about “fairy core?”Both of these terms were completely new to me and I didn’t know what to expect. Both of these terms have to do with kbeauty, specifically a rising Korean makeup brand called Naetis.

Recently @naetis.official reached out to me to try out their new blur lip tints. I used these lip tints over the course of two to three weeks before coming up with my opinions. This was my first makeup collab, so obviously I was super excited to give them an honest review.

This also was a collaboration I couldn’t pass up since I always love supporting small businesses. Therefore, I am writing this blog post to provide feedback for the brand and for other people who want to check customer reviews before trying new brands. So, enjoy!

So, what is “vegan meta?”

What is a vegan meta brand? According to my research, these are brands that are focused on making vegan-formulated products and pay close attention to their ingredient sources to stay true to that mission.

Living in a Fairy Blur Makeup Dreams

Naetis Fairy Core Blur Lip Tints currently sell at $8.99 USD each on Amazon USA. You can check their storefront for yourself by clicking right here or by searching “Naetis” on Amazon. These lip tints are advertised to be MLBB (otherwise known as “my lips but better”). They enhance your natural beauty by creating makeup that can be used anytime, anywhere because these lip tints are supposed to stain your lips for an all-day tint. You wouldn’t have to worry about reapplying your lipstick because Naetis wants to help you keep your peak makeup game and always feel like you’re living in a fantasy.

On top of that, these lip tints have an airy texture that leaves a buttery velvet finish and keeps your lips soft and moisturized. Oh yeah, and these lippie formulas are vegan, of course!

Here are some notable ingredients in the formulation that make these lip tints a great addition to your lipstick collection:

• Titanium Dioxide: Titanium dioxide is used as a thickener for cosmetics and can enhance the anti-aging properties of other ingredients. It is a popular ingredient for providing SPF, too.
• Tocopheryl Acetate: Tocopheryl acetate is an anti-aging ingredient that promotes skin cell regeneration and protects your skin from the harmful effects of UV rays.
• Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride: This ingredient is an emollient that seals in moisture to ensure your skin doesn’t dry out and lose its elasticity.
• Armeniaca (Apricot) Kernel Oil: This ingredient contains vitamins A, C, and E which makes it perfect for anti-aging if you want to minimize the appearance of wrinkles and blemishes.
• Prunus Persica (Peach) Fruit Extract: Peach extract can provide moisture to your skin and brighten your skin tone to minimize hyperpigmentation.
• Pyrus Malus (Apple) Fruit Extract: This species of apple extract contains antioxidants that keep your skin elastic and firm while protecting it from free radicals, which can cause signs of aging and hyperpigmentation.
• Citrullus Lanatus (Watermelon) Fruit Extract: Watermelon extract is also rich in antioxidants, so it can defend your skin against UV ray damage and signs of aging.
• Punica Granatum (Pomegranate) Fruit Extract: Pomegranates are known to be rich in antioxidants, anti-bacterial, and healing. This extract helps prevent breakouts and protects your skin cells.

Literally My Lips But Better

Naetis allowed me to pick two of the blur lip tints to test out. I decided to choose shades 301 #PeachOrdinary and 501 #SeoulElf. Peach Ordinary looked like a perfect everyday lip shade for me since I don’t wear dark shades regularly. I wanted to try Seoul Elf because Naetis told me that it was their most popular shade. If you want me to make another video with swatches on my lips, I’ll be more than happy to do it!

Whipped Texture

The tints are a beautiful whipped texture. I noticed that these lip tints were airy when I first swatched them on my hand because they didn’t feel sticky or heavy.

Applying this to my lips was very nice. The formula feels buttery once spread onto my lips and glided very well. In terms of the finish of these lip tints, I would say that my lips felt velvety but not chapped. When using matte lip sticks in the past, I would get the matte appearance but my lips would feel and look so dry like the Sahara dessert. These blur tints do not provide that unpleasant feeling. The ingredient list also shows that this would be a good tinted lip balm if your lips feel dry.

Lovely Fruity Scent

There is a pleasant, light fruity scent that is in the formulation. I would not have pinpointed any of the fruit extracts as the scent in this formula. The scent of both of these lip tints reminds me more of cherry with a subtle note of coconut. The cherry scent smells more like the artificial kind that you would find for candy and drinks, which I had no issue with.

An All-Day Type of Lip Product

These remind me of my favorite discontinued blur tints from Colourpop (iykyk 😩). With the added lip stain and buildable coverage, these are definitely a must-have for any occasion (especially if you are eating and drinking because the color will stay on). If you do not drink or eat as frequently, I’m sure these lip tints will maintain their pigment by the end of the day.

If you blot the lip tints on tissue, there will be some residue that goes on the tissue, but the bright pigment will still be on your lips. Naetis’s lip tints are blot proof and keep your lips feeling velvety.

Buildable and Multi-Purpose

These lip tints are buildable so you can use one layer for a natural, no-makeup look or add another layer for a vivid statement lippie. As someone who doesn’t identify herself as a makeup expert, these lip tints were easy to use and build upon. I found it easy to do the gradient lips where the center of my lips were pigmented. That lip look is a challenge sometimes and I find it doesn’t always look good on me. However, these lip tints made me realize I was just doing them wrong.

The airy texture and pigmentation power of these made me want to try the lip tints out as a blush. I would say they were also as easy to spread out and build up pigment. I didn’t notice any breakouts on my skin, but maybe a slight pink pigment since pink can color your skin. Again, these lip tints are easy to remove with makeup remover so you can do some double cleansing when using these on your skin.

Would I repurchase?

Yes! I always love supporting small businesses with high-quality products, so definitely is worth a purchase. It combines the buttery velvet formula of a liquid lipstick with the power of a lip stain, so if you want an alternative to the trending lip oils and lip stains, I highly consider trying Naetis!

Would you try this? Let me know down below. Thanks again Naetis for a great first impression.

The post I’m Officially Living My Fairy Dreams with Naetis Fairy Core Blur Lip Tints appeared first on Style Oh My.

Have you ever tried facial oil? I’ve only been in my skincare comfort zone, per say. Skincare aficionados and influencers always say that the classic trio of face wash, moisturizer, and sunscreen are must-have’s, so I always stuck to that. Plus, I would hear that oils can be clogging to pores and make sensitive skin more likely to break out. I just stayed away from them … that is, until now.

Bubble reached out to me to try out some of their skincare products in exchange for my honest review, so I decided to try their most popular dry skin solutions! After a month of using their Float On Facial Oil, I can say that I get the hype as to why people use facial oils. I may be super late to the party. However, it’s not too late for me to take you onto Cloud 9 with me.

Before I give my thoughts while using facial oil, let’s first discuss who is the right person for these skincare essentials.

Why Might an Oil Be For You?

Facial oils serve as skincare tools that help support your skin’s functions. Specifically, it adds an extra layer of moisture to protect your skin barrier and ensure that it is moisturized and healthy. This means that facial oils can not only support your skin in terms of extra moisture but in terms of supporting a foundation to reduce the likeliness of breakouts and wrinkles. You can say that it is an anti-aging addition to your skincare regimen. Oils can also help with hyperpigmentation and blemishes since it adds moisture (lipids) to strengthen your skin and retain its water. Hydrated skin is essential to say bye to those blemishes.

Like our skin, oils can also be formulated differently. You can’t just go crazy and put every single facial oil on your face or else you’re setting your skin up for disaster. There are oil formulations that are for dry skin and there are oil formulations for oily skin and sensitive skin, so make sure to do your research and find what ingredients are most compatible with your needs.

If you are trying hard to integrate oils into your skincare routine, treat it like every new addition to your skincare collection and take baby steps. Do a patch test on your skin the day before in case of irritation. Start with 1 drop every other day and work your way up to using it every night.

A Dry Skin’s Dreamy Savior

Bubble’s Float On Facial Oil is a product that is suited for all skin types. It is designed to be lightweight and to make your skin look healthier and nourished by calming it down from outside pollutants and stressors. Currently, the facial oil retails at $19.00 USD for 30 mL on their website.

This facial oil can be used during the day, during the night, or whenever your skin feels it needs a touch-up. It is here to save your skin and change your skincare game because of these awesome key ingredients:

• Safflower Oil: This ingredient is perfect for dry skin since it hydrates while soothing the skin from inflammation.
• Neem Seed Oil: Neem seed oil has antioxidant properties and is also known to reduce inflammation and help with wound or blemish healing.
• Prickly Pear Oil: Not only are prickly pears yummy, they also contain Vitamin E and amino acids that help with skin cell generation and younger-looking skin.
• Buriti Oil: This oil contains fatty acids and Vitamin A. It is a great ingredient for anti-aging if you want to reduce wrinkles and fine lines.
• Opuntia Ficus-Indica (Cactus) Flower Extract:  Cactus flower has antioxidant and anti-microbial properties that help you by soothing and calming your skin.

Floating High, Floating On

Metal Packaging

Unlike the other products I received from Bubble, the facial oil comes in a sturdy metal container. The container also isn’t see-through to maintain the potency of the facial oil and also to ensure outside temperature doesn’t affect it.

The packaging probably stole my heart because of the pipette. I love the pipette since you can release oil with the button that is on the top of the lid. You have to twist open the top in order to reveal the push mechanism for obtaining and releasing the oil. I haven’t tested this oil for traveling, but the twist lid seems to be a good solution to the flimsy pipettes with silicone handles.

Lightweight Formula

The oil is very lightweight and has a light castor oil-like scent that isn’t overwhelming. There is no color to this oil and it feels a little slippery on my skin. When applying 1-2 drops of oil after using moisturizer, my skin easily absorbed this and loved it. A little bit of the oil can go a long way. You will know you used the proper amount for you if you aren’t tugging at your skin during application.

Smooth, Silky, Softness

I was not expecting my skin to love this facial oil so much! I was wowed when using the facial oil because it felt so nourished and healthy every single time. No annoying greasy feeling, just a super soft, silky finish! My skin felt baby skin smooth when topping the oil over their Slam Dunk moisturizer. My face just had a very slight slipperiness from using the facial oil that wasn’t a bother.

During my experience with this product, I can say that my skin did not break out. My dry skin can get red pretty easily, so I was in disbelief when I was left with skin that looked calmed down, smooth and glowy, and perfectly moisturized to beat the cold. There were multiple times when I stopped myself in the mirror to admire my skin. You can say it was love at first sight for me with this oil.

Your Skin’s New BFF

My skin never broke out. In fact, I think it felt better because it was silky smooth. Since the facial oil is an emollient that helps support the superpowers of my moisture-focused skincare routine, it helped my skin stay healthy. I can honestly say I had the best skin ever with the facial oil because it left a huge impression on me.

Would I repurchase?

Bubble really converted me into a facial oil follower with this one. I wasn’t expecting to love this one (in fact, I was initially apprehensive to try it because oils would clog my pores). Now, I don’t think I can see my winter skincare routine without it. It’s part of my holy grail skincare list and I wish I had this when I first dealt with a damaged skin barrier.

I also had my mom try this product out, and she loved it just as much as I did. Her skin felt so moisturized and she also reported no breakouts on her end. I kind of had to prevent my mom from taking this one because she took my moisturizer (sorry, mom). If we’re fighting over the same product, you know it’s the real deal. Don’t worry, I’m planning to get one soon once I run out.

Bubble really knocked it out of the park with this one and that’s my honest opinion! Seriously, give this one a shot. 💙
