My Simple Everyday Makeup.

Hello sweets!

Today I'm gonna show you my super simple everyday makeup. This one is especially for my sweet friend Jaydee.

As time goes by I feel like less is more when it comes to makeup, so I think this look would be easy to create if you're starting with makeup or if you don't feel like using too many products or tricky techniques.
This is what I usually do with my makeup for work, it also takes me only about 15 minutes to do it so, it is really a good option for those who have not much time in the mornings.

I've been obsessing over lip tints and gradient lips lately!

Here are the products I used:

♥ Garnier BB Cream. Skin Renew Miracle Skin Perfector. In "light/Medium". I have to say that this is /not/ my favorite BB Cream to use (not saying it's bad though) but after trying some Korean BB Creams, others just don't feel the same. I'm basically using this one to finish it. I would feel bad throwing it away if it still has product left. The coverage is good but the color is a bit too dark for my skin tone~

♥ Beauty Control Extra Help Concealer. In "light" My dad gave me a few of this a while ago and sadly I'm running out of this one and since I don't know where to find it, I'll have to try a new concealer. This one is very thick, that's why I use just a little of it. It's a really good concealer though.

♥ Etude House Baby Doll Puff. Aside from being really cute, beauty blenders help you to have a more natural finish when applying your foundation, concealer, etc.

♥ Meilaya Pressed Powder. This is a Chinese brand, don't know if it's well known or not but it works good for me.

♥ CoverGirl Brush

♥ Kiotis Colors Brow Pencil "coffee"

♥ Kiotis Brow gel

♥ L.A. Colors Eye liner "Deepest Brown"

♥ L.A. Colors Eye Liner (AE665) "White"

♥ TonyMoly Cats Wink Mascara

♥ L,A. Colors Simmering Loose Eyeshadow w/brush in (SE111) "Snow White"

♥ Blush in "Rose Silk"

♥ Maybelline New York Baby Lips. 30 "Peach Kiss" Since I always have very dry and chapped lips, I try to apply a lip balm before lipstick. It has a very neutral color. Baby Lips + Orange/Coralish lip tins = ♥ hehe,

♥ Etude House Color Pop Shine Tint. #03 "Vita Pop!"

I hope you guys liked this look, I'm leaving the video version down below for those who are not really into reading and feel more like watching.

This is also my first makeup related video ever! I'm not too sure how I feel about it though and I'm sorry for the bad audio~ I'm still learning a lot about editing. Hehe. What do you guys think? 

Collective Haul: Makeup, clothes and accessories.

Hello lovelies!

Here is a random collective haul of some stuff I bought last month and I wanna show you guys. Now that I look at it, maybe it wasn't much for a whole month but yeah, here we go.
As usual, this has a bit of everything.

♥ Two Forever 21 Denim. One is a Low Rise Ankle Skinny in grey and the other one is Low Rise Ankle Skinny in black. I don't own many Forever 21 jeans yet, but I'm so happy with how good I fit in them! Hehe, it's always hard for me to find jeans because I have very thin legs so, whenever they fit on my waist, the legs are just too wide or...the other way around. I'm also short! So this ankle jeans have a good lenght! I don't have to fold them anymore! Definitely loving these pair! And the price was really, really good.

♥ Forever 21 Cat socks. They are absolutely adorable.

♥ Etude House lip tints. These are my obsession at the moment! I kinda want to make a separate post on these babies so I won't be talking about them much but, I can't wait to get other colors!!!! ♥

♥ Mizon Snail Recovery Gel Cream. Mizon is a Korean brand I've never tried before. In fact, I haven't tried this gel yet because I'm waiting until I'm done with a product I'm currently using but I'll definitely let you know what happens once I try it. If anyone has any experience with Mizon products, let me know!

♥ Lingmei Lolita Girl Lip Balm. I amrunning out of it so yeah. I try to always apply it before applying lipstick since my lips are chapped and dry most of the time...

♥ Pink hair ties and bows. This were just last minute things I grabbed because I thought they were really cute and really cheap. I live hair accessories so, yeah.

♥ Mid Finger Ring. I am too excited with this ring! I always find it hard to find rings that can fit my fingers~ especially mid finger rings. I have super thin fingers!! (>3<) So this was one of those thngs you feel extra happy about. It looks cool and it fits!

And yeah...
♥ Kim Hyun Joong goodies. You guys know I can't resist to that man! I just bought 2 photos and a DVD (which I haven't seen yet~) this time. Hehe. 
Obsessed much?

That's it! I think... I'm not sure if I'm missing things since I already put everything in different places.

Bye for now~!!

Clean Skin! My skin care routine. Day / Night.

Hi hi sweets!
I know some of us are looking for the perfect skin look. I include myself on that! I don't think I have a perfect sking or anything but the skincare routine I've been having since last year has been working really well for me and I've seen a big difference on my face.

I used to be soooooo lazy when it came to washing my face everyday, removing my makeup every night before going to bed, and I know that if I had started at an earlier age, my skin would look way better now than it actually does. So if you're on your early 20s, take care of your skin, create a routine that works for you and you'll see a huge improvement on your skin.

I think the biggest secret for a good skin would be to keep it clean. Make sute to wash your face everyday, at least before going to bed to remove all the dust, makeup, etc of the day. 

So, I'm gonna share with you guys the routine that has been working for me. I do this every morning and every night. No matter how lazy I feel or how late it is. I came to the point that if I don't keep my face clean, I feel guilty~~~~

My skin is slightly oily so, this works for my skin type. Keep in mind that products could change depending on your skin type and needs. I also have super sensitive skin, so it is hard for me to change products because most of them irritate my skin and cause break outs.

 DAY ROUTINE:

I wash my face every morning with cold water. The cold water helps me to depuff my sleepy eyes and face and well...to wake up!

In the mornings I use a scrub soap bar from Vitacilina. This is not a fancy or expensive brand, actually it is super cheap and can be found at Walmart.
They have like 3 different types of soaps but I picked the exfoliating one. It is really soft and gentle to my skin. I've been using it for over a year now and I'm thinking about continue using it.

After washing my face, I apply some hydrating cream. I'm currently using the Teatrical one. which is a little thick at first but, it absorbs really fast and keeps my skin soft and moist all day.

That's it for my cleansing routine in the morning. Most of the time I also try to apply some sunscreen. I'm using the Mary Kay SunCare with SPF50, but from some time now I don't love it anymore cuz it makes my skin feel too cakey once I apply my makeup.

NIGHT ROUTINE:

Before washing my face I remove my makeup using the Missha Super Aqua Cleansing Tissues.
Once I have a makeup free face, I wash my face with my Missha Green Tea Latte Cleansing Foam and gently massage it with my Etude House Wonder Pore brush for a better and deep cleaning.

After that, I apply a few drops of the Kiotis Paris Pavanelle Intensive Facial Treatment (which is almost over now) and massage my face for a few seconds, and them I put on some cream. I have to say I'm not using a night cream at the moment because I want to finish the Garnier Essential Care (this one is really light and fresh) but once I'm done with it I'll start with my first night cream ever.

And, this is what I do everyday!
Also, twice I week I exfoliate my face using the Avon ClearSkin Pore Penetrating Scrub and, I /try/  to use a face mask sheet at least once a week. (Usually DERMAL or The Cure but, I'm about to try new brands!)
Using the masks regularly, makes my skin glow in a very pretty and natural way.

I ran out of The Cure and DERMAL masks, but these are some I'm about to try. Missha & VANEDO

I hope this helps somehow. You can always create your own routine adding or changing some products. Whatever works for you!

Etude House Fantastic Color Eyes "Bloody Halloween"

Hi hi! 


I'm too excited to show you guys this Eyeshadow Palette. As the name says Fantastic Color Eyes #1 Bloody Halloween, it's supposed to be Halloween Limited Edition, I'm not sure. I got mine earlier this week.
When I saw the name "Bloody Halloween" I knew I had to have it. The colors are perfect for the Fall/Winter season.

This palette includes 5 eye shadows and 1 lip color. Even the names of each color are Halloween related.

"Pale" is a light beige with a little shimmer.
"Zombie Kiss" is the lip color one, it is a deep, wine-ish red which I think could be used as a cream blush thingy too. The color is super pretty.
"Witch Hunting" is a pretty pale soft pink and the only matte color of the palette.
"Funky Horror" is a shimmery purple pink-ish kind of color.
"Bloody Burgundy" as the name says is a reddish shadow which I'm not too sure if I'd use. I wouldn't feel too comfortable wearing red on my eyes but, we'll see.
"Halloween Night" is a metallic black.

What I also liked is the sponge applicator, wich comes with 2 sponge sizes, perfect to create different looks depending on what you want.

I can't wait to create a look using this palette!
Even though the package is really cute, I wish it'd look a little more Halloween-ish to match the whole theme.
But yeah, I'm too happy with them!!

Mini Haul: Etude House

Hello sweets!
Even though I thought October will be all about Halloween related posts, this is something I'm too excited about! Hehe.

I've been wanting to get some Etude House for a while now and I finally got the chance to buy some of their products. Not only because they are really, really cute, but also because I've heard and read so many good comments on their quality. I didn't bought any makeup this time but I'm anxious to try what I got. Yay!

♥ Etude House Wonder Pore Brush.

♥ Etude House Baby Doll Puff

♥ Etude House Skin Mal:Gem (Sample package) Includes a Smoother, Deep Moist, soft cotton sheets and clear cotton pads.

I might write about my experience with these in separate posts as I start using them.
I also got a few samples from SkinFood and Holika Holika!

And yeah, aside from the good quality and cuteness of Etude House's products, I'm also excited because F(x) Sulli and Krystal have been promoting some of their stuff, Sulli is one of my favorite members so I definitely will try some of the products she's wearing next time. Hehe.

XO♥
