Witch's Pouch (Moisture Ampoule Base & Lipstick)


You may already know why I got into this beauty brand. A few years back, I often bought products from this brand to give as gifts to my girlfriends, but I never got anything for myself until recently. There's a huge cosmetics store nearby called "Mimosa" and it provides ALL kinds of cosmetics from around the world and that includes beauty products from Korea. I didn't go into much research into this brand, but it seems to be a brand from Korea and it's called, "Witch's Pouch". And everything from this brand is so cute. I just can't get enough and I wanted to buy more (including the pretty eyeshadows), but I didn't want to go overboard since I was mainly there trying to find a present for a friend's birthday. So here's what I purchased that day from the store, Witch's Pouch Real Skin Moisture Ampoule Base and a Witch's Pouch POPO Lipstick

I want to first talk about the Real Skin Moisture Ampoule Base (¥1,800 - $18.00 USD). This thing is like...magic! It has everything you need as a moisturizer. It keeps your skin moisturizing with ceramide. It provides hyaluronic acid, preventing from dryness and for fresh skin. Aloe Vera leaf extract to tone, brighten and clear the skin. Water-soluble collagen for elasticity, firmness and moisture that are all maintained into this one product. Not to mention there is gold chips mixed into it for richness, and natural glowing skin.


I've already used this for 3 days now, and I love it! Love it, love it, love it. This is to be used before applying makeup on. Because of this product, it really keeps my makeup intact. It gives off a dewy, natural glow to my skin; the healthy kind, not the overly-oily kind. Honestly, my skin can probably go without moisturizer, because I do have oil-prone skin. There is only one time of the year where my skin gets really dry and that's before winter. Believe it or not, my skin gets oily even during the dry and cold season. It's funny, because it only happens in Japan. When I was in the states, I never had this problem. But! I know I should use moisturizer or it'll affect me later on in life. What I really love is how easy it is to apply. This has a watery base and soaks into the skin right away! And though there are gold chips in the product, as soon as you rub it into the skin, they become smaller to the point where you no longer see them and I think they're the reason for the dewy skin (kind of gives off that soft glitter effect too). Don't worry ladies, you won't become gold-faced, if that's what you were worried about. Because of this moisturizer, I don't need any highlighting to give this effect. It definitely keeps my skin plump and hydrated.

Next; the POPO Lipstick (¥800 - $8.00 USD). There were a lot to choose from! But knowing me, I think red suits me best. There was an option between gloss or matte lipstick, and I chose matte. I don't necessarily go around with just matte lipstick, it tends to dry my lips and appears flaky. I always apply DHC's lip cream as the bottom coat and then apply the matte. Even though you might think what's the point when I could've gotten the gloss, but it's different. Gloss is definitely easy to apply, but matte has a darker tone to it that goes better with my features. I use gloss too, but only on occasions where I don't have to be presentable? LOL. Gloss makes me look sick sometimes, I gotta be honest with you. Here I have Burgundy Wine in S21. I love wine, and I love the color of red wine, so as soon as I spotted this, I had to get it. It looks dark, but when you apply it on the lips, it looks a little lighter compared to the lipstick itself. Maybe it depends on the person. I really love this color, but the only problem is that it doesn't exactly stay on long. Within a day, I'd say I had to reapply 2 or 3 times. It isn't my favorite lipstick, but I will still use it.


This isn't exactly a popular brand. I think it's still fairly new, that's why it isn't quite well-known. It's affordable, and there's a huge selection you can choose from. What can I say, anything that has to do with witches, I go for it. I often get fooled by packaging, but at least I can say that one out of the two products was definitely worth it. If I happen to buy more from this brand, I will post about it. I'm hoping they will come out with new products soon. Bye for now witches (or warlocks)! ✨
