New Lippie ❤️💄

I got this new Covergirl Lipslicks Smoochies in Light Pink from my aunt.

Uhh, I'm not really crazy about Covergirl products but since Sophie Sumner used to endorse in (ANTM), I figured it's not so bad. Here are the photos :D 

💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

The shade's somewhat light pink. My kind of thing ;) 

Here's a swatch: 

It leaves a sort of glittery shimmery effect :O which is nice :) 

But it's not THAT pigmented. Well the product definition did say that it's more like a balm-lipstick combi -_- So if you're looking for a lippie that would last all day, I'd still suggest going or either Mac or Revlon. My fave brands :D ❤️

I have to add thought that it smells like candy! And candy smell is good! I love lippies that smell edible. Lol :DD 

All in all, it's a good product but I wouldn't use it on days when I have to go out for shoots or parties etc. It won't hold out that long, unfortunately -_- 

BUT I would use this on days when I feel like going natural and light. We all have thos days right? ;) 

Until here. See ya! ❤️

PS: I'm gonna have to update my blog profile soon. A lot of stuff happened and things have changed. I'll try my best to keep up! がんばるわ！❗️

じゃね♪(^O^)／

New Skin Care Regime!

Hello girls! I'm here to update about my new skin care regime.

Mosbeau Placenta White All in One Facial Cream and Facial Soap ❤

I'm so excited to try these two products out! 

I'll keep you posted with this. Bye now! :D

Etude House Skin Mal:gem Toner ( Smoother )

Hey girls! Remember when I first posted about my hauls including this toner? I think that was about 4~5 months ago and I started using it right away back then and now I think I'm ready to share my opinions about this product. Let's go! :)

There are actually 5 variants to choose from including Fresh (for normal skin), Moist (for dry skin), Deep Moist (for extra dry skin, probably XD), Essential (this one is a moisturizer) and my choice, Smoother. I chose this cause I myself has a few bumps on my face that I'd like to clear out and the SA said that this one is perfect for those. Yes, I trusted her on that one :D

 

Some Korean stuff (probably instructions and descriptions) are written at the side of the box. 
Let's see, based on the tiny pictures, it says that there are 3 ways of using this product.
One is  by using a face cloth;  Two by using it with a mask sheet and three, by using it as a mist.
Of course, I prefer to use it with a cotton ball or a little face cloth. But you still get to decide on how you wanna apply this toner :D

Pros: 

• It has a heavenly scent! I just love that light, refreshing scent ♥
• Very light on the skin. It's obviously designed for sensitive skin like mine. Yay!
• Contains 250 ml of product! I've been using this for 5 months now and look, it's still more than 50% full :D
• Chic packaging. Simple yet elegant.
• It reduced my blackheads and smoothened out some parts of my face. Although, I still need to find a better moisturizer to compliment this toner. I can't wait to see the significant improvements that it will give me once I finish using up the whole bottle :)

Cons

• None :D The price itse;f os quite reasonable for the benefits you get by using this product.

Update! ♥

Helloooooooooo there! Ahh, it's been a while since I last posted here! I almost forgot that I actually own this page. OTL
Anyway, I know that I always say this but trust me, school is sucking the all the energy out of me. I've been so busy with school stuffs that's why I haven't had time to update and post reviews here. Another thing that hinders me is that I lost my camera. Ugh. But no worries, I'll be getting one real soon :)

 
Okay, so that's it! Just a short post about my dilemmas in life. Lol. Just like what the title says, this is just an update. Review posts will be coming soon so watch out for that ♥

I'll leave you with my "latest" photos. I'm wearing Etude House's Sun BB and Revlon's Just Bitten Kissable Lip Balm Stain in Lovesick Passionee. Good stuff :D



Game Update: Currently playing Final Fantasy 3 Remake! Ahhh, this is nice. I have tons of new games as well. Will keep posted. Bye now! :D

Etude House: Precious Mineral Sun BB Cream Review

Finally! I managed to find time to write a review :D Okay I'm very excited to tell you all about this product so let's start now!♪

Etude House: Precious Mineral Sun BB Cream
Cool Fix SPF50+/PA+++
Whitening & Anti-Wrinkle
Anti-Darkening
Long Lasting Waterproof
Shade: #1 Light Beige

Well then, I think that product description gives you a hint on how good this BB Cream is but let me elaborate anyway.
I bought this last November (almost 3 months now) and this is my first BB cream.

Directions are written at the side of the box. There are actually 2 ways on how to apply this BB.



   



1. Sponge Application: Dispense cream and use sponge to gather and apply coverage to all areas of the face.

As you can see, it comes with a sponge applicator. I find it difficult t use this sponge. It's not the softest sponge around as well so I just decided to ditch using it XD



 
 
2. Direct Application: Remove cap and dispense onto hands for direct and additional application


 Now THIS is the way I do it. Lol. Dispensing the cream at the back of my hand and applying it directly using my fingers gives me better control on the amount I want to use. Of course that's just me though. You can choose your own way of applying it as long as you don't overapply :)
Well that was repetitively redundant.. HAHA.





Now for the semi-comprehensive review: 

Size: Very small! I was surprised when I saw this at EH store because it looked quite tall in pictures but in reality, it's like 3.5/4 of my palm :-/ The bottle contains 35 g of the product. Quite a little amount for it's price.

Shade: It comes in two shades: #1 Light Beige and #2 Medium Beige. You already know the reason why I chose the lightest shade--- because I'm as white as a ghost! 
Nah, just kidding. But I AM pale. :O This shade is still dark for me though, and thanks to the "whitening" properties of this BB, it becomes darker on me overtime. Lol. Not that I mind though, I appreciate anything that gives me colour :)

Scent: The scent is typical. I smell a lot of sunscreen imo. Probably because of the high SPF. This BB cream isn't meant to be used during nighttime. I myself, only uses this during days when I know that I'll be out for long hours. DAYS.

Lasting Power: Well there's no need to ask that. As the description says "Long Lasting", it really does last for many hours! Last time I checked it stayed on my face for 10 hours. Now that's something :D I also noticed that as it lasts on the face, it becomes lighter and lighter and that is another plus for me cause it starts to match my skin tone :)
Water Test: 

Since this Sun BB is meant to be used for sports/outdoor activities and claims to be "water proof", let's put that claim to a test :D

As you can see the water didn't spread at the back of my hand. Instead, it went down as droplets and didn't ruin the BB at all. Well, that goes to show that this Sun BB is truly water proof :D



Latter Effects: 

Well after months of using it, I did notice some of my blemishes lightened and my face! Ahh my face definitely lightened and my bare face looks really pale now (-_-) This is a con for me but I'm sure most of you will enjoy the whitening effects better. Haha :)

← Here's a photo of me around 7 hours after applying the Sun BB. It has begun to set and matched my skin tone. Trust me aside from the backlight and cropping, I didn't tweak this photo at all. Some of my blemishes are still visible, you see. I used natural light here and that is how PALE white I look with the BB on.
But it's not so bad, you can always use a blush to prevent the "ghost" look. As for me, well I'm not such a fan of blushes. Probably because I don't know how to apply them. Lol!


  
Panda Tip: If for some extremely awkward reason and you're gonna wear this BB at night, you might wanna avoid flash photography as this BB contains high SPF and will surely produce that dreaded white cast/bounce on your face making you look like a ghost.

 Pros: 

•  Long lasting
• Water proof but nothing like a good facial foam can't remove
• Easy to apply 
• Whitening Effects!
• Chic packaging
• For a product with only 35g, it really lasts you long
• You'll get all those benefits I blabbed about in this loooong post at a very reasonable price XD
• It's from Etude House! ♥

Cons:

• The only thing I can probably complain about is that the shade doesn't suit me. I need a lighter shade. I hope they modify the shades. Don't you just feel my pain? lol. Other than that, no cons :D 

Okay that's it! Thanks for reading til here. Sorry I talked too much Haha -_-
Btw, did you know that Revlon recently released 2 (or was it 3?) lipstick lines? And I was lucky enough to get ahold of one of them which is..

 Revlon Colorstay Ultimate Suede in Muse! ♥
Ahhh! Colorstay means it will last for loong hours and you know how much I love that right? :)
Let's see how this one fares.

Til here. Bye girls! :D

Christmas Gets and Happy New Year Loves! ♡

Okay, I know this is a bit late but.. Happy 2013! :D

Sorry I haven't been around much. It's been a tough time at school. Busy busy busy! But fun too ♥
I have splurged a lot during my absence. But for tonight, I'll be showing you what I got at last year's Christmas Eve :)

Etude House Total Age Repair BB Cream
Etude House BB Magic Pact

Total Age Repair
Wrinkle Reduce
Royal BB Cream
SPF 45/PA+++

My mom's been asking me to give her my Precious Mineral Bright Fit BB Cream but I thought it might be a bit too "young" for her skin so I got her this instead. Plus she needs a BB with high SPF so this is perfect for her! :D
The only thing I noticed about this is that it's shade is lighter than any of EH's BB creams. I think this shade will suit me perfectly :O (Sun BB and Bright Fit BB's light beige shades are a bit dark for me D: ) Too bad this one is formulated for older women. Ahh..

Etude House BB Magic Pact in shade #1

And this! This is the one I got for myself. Yay! :D I've always wanted to replace my old pact which is too dark for me and this is just perfect. I'll be posting a review on this soon :)
Oh gosh, I've promised a lot of review posts but actually I haven't done anything yet Dx

I'll update soon. Bye for now!♪
