3 Concept Eyes(3ce) is one of the popular make-up brands established by Style Nanda (initially StyleNanda sells very cool outfits/clothings online) in Korea. 3ce has an outstanding feature of their lip products based on pink, beige and orange (lipsticks, lip pigments(very creative and popular product of them!! Each and every color of them can be mix and create another new color, cool isnt?!), lip marker, lip lacquer etc.....) as it has a range of unique and classy colors and the quality is well done (pigmentation is well done), the color on their photo is what it has in reality. Wow. Anyway, they are very successful as in they grow from an online shopping mall to 2 flagship stores in South Korea currently. They ship to worldwide with good services (as what i've found in the other blogs' reviews throughout my survey, lol).

To cut the crap short, today, i'm gonna do my personal reviews on some of the 3ce products which i've bought previously. I found 3ce in a facebook online store, i think someone tagged someone in the photo where i bumped into on my home page. I am so so obssessed with their products when i look through the photos! Their models are just so attractive that they make you(me) think that you can have as fair as flawless skin as theirs!!! Another point is that, i noticed that their product could be used interchangably, for example lip pigment as blusher and etc. Their youtube videos showed how they make a waterful glossy face (which in korea they promote healthy and natural looking) and it makes me wana buy more! I love looking 'natural' yet watery(healthy not oily!! They have winter, so dry skin doesnt look youthful, they promote treatment oil and stuff. Living in malaysia, i cant stop but sweating all over). One more, as they are asians' product, the color range is nearer to chinese skin color :P). Importantly, the price as they (other users) said, it was averagely higher than other brands in Korea but rather affordable. Since im just a beginner, i just bought something very basic.
These are the list of 3ce products im gonna review on:
1. 3ce Lip glass gloss
2. 3ce Waterful concealer #002
3. 3ce Highlight beam
4. Glossing waterful foundation #soft beige
5. 3ce Pore silky balm
6. 3ce Magic touch face maker #pink
*im gonna do 1,2,3's review in this post while leaving 4,5,6 for tomorrow! Too long to type:S
**i bought the first three in the first buying attempt, 4-6 was the second attempt because i can't stand the temptation to not buy them!!
1,2,3
They arrived looking like this.
1. 3ce lip glass gloss
This is what i was first attracted to, glass lip gloss. And it drives me to buy....to have smooth and silky looking 'bare' lips!
Anyway, it is an clear and moisturizing lip gloss that makes you lips go bling~ Applying it at the last layer after your lipsticks, your lips will look juicy! Wheee~
They look like clear water lol. I personally feel like it was ok but i have to reapply it after a few hours (normal lah, you have to talk eat talk lick and everything) lol. Even if it doesnt stay too long, it leaves the moisture (not sticky) on my lips.
2. 3ce Waterful concealer
It has 2 skin tone choices (quite limited), #001 for lighter skin, might have used it as a eye highlighter if it is much lighter than your skin color.
I actually had time struggling which color to buy, at the end i bought #002, which is a bit darker in sense (you see, korean's skin is averagely fair enough, they dont neccessarily need darker tone per se) but im afraid that i chose the fairer one it wouldnt suit my skin color. But i doubted my choice because it barely able to cover my dark circle....maybe able but not effective enough. I might have gone for #001.:S
Yeah, it is a reaaaaly small tube yet you can use it for long period! You only need one small squeeze as it is quite pigmented. As i have less acne problem (oily face gahh), i didnt place order for their foundation at first (it's much expensive la dei!), i needed concealer more to cover my dark circles! D:
Left (no concealer) | right (with concealer)
You can see that the corn size of the concealer actually is quite pigmented.The coverage as you might notice that the lil black mole on my hand there........is 'blurry' covered.
3. 3ce Highlight beam (30ml)
It has 2 volumes: 30ml or 50ml.
It functions as brighten up your skin (more youthful) and makes it shine and more dimensional when sunlight hits your face/body! It is applicable to face and body (which made me buy, some of them are face glow or whatever). Apply on cheek bones, T zone, nose and collar bones for body!
It has a pump attached which it kinda restricted the minimum volume i can press out. This amount of it (photo below) is more that enough for me to apply on face, always get some of it wasted because i didnt manage to apply all on my face. :(
Glowing on my hand?
This is how it looks when i spread it. Very obvious lah. Lol. The glow glow part is with highlight beam under the natural sunlight. I actually liked this quite a lot because it blends into my skin nicely and my nose looks straighter/more dimensional after applying especially taking selfie! HAHAHA!
Okay, im gonna stop here and continue my review for 4,5,6 tomorrow~
Until here, i think that the packaging design of 3ce's products are very simple, cool yet elegant (matte black) and the sizes are well utilized but the quality is damn good! Its economical to buy their products because you can save space and you use a lil bit at a time yet you can have the optimum amount of makeups!
The written reviews are solely based on the my personal experience.
Ciao!
