SKIN79 BB Cream miniature set =D

Hello my bloggies!! =D

Heehee I'm SO excited today cuz I finally received my SKIN79 BB cream miniature set!!

If you remember, I shared this video with you all a while back:

To see the product in action, fast foward to 2:05
It was basically demonstrating using two BB creams with different functions on different areas; the gold label which is moisturizing, is to be used on cheeks, and the pink label which emphasizes oil control, is to be used on T-zone.

So I was like OMG it makes the model's skin SUPER amazing!!! But I never tried it cuz it contains aloe and I'm "supposed" to be allergic to aloe. But recently I tried my friend's Skin Food Mushroom BB cream which also contains aloe, and my skin didn't react to it at all! Isn't that weird? Maybe my skin has changed lol. By the way, I love that Skin Food Mushroom BB cream, but I didn't buy it cuz I want to try out SKIN79 before I decide =P

So I got super excited and went to eBay, and I found this =)

It contains:
1. Super+ BB Cream Pink Label
2. Super+ BB Cream Gold Label
3. The Prestige BB Cream
4. Luminous Pearl BB Cream

The back... for all you out there who understands Korean =D

Also comes with a sample

I have no idea what this is or how to use it! My guess it's some sort of exfoliater?! lol

The BB creams
Photobucket

This set is $11.37 with free shipping. Each tube is 5g. Shipping takes about 2 weeks.

I'm super happy that I found this! Cuz it has all the SKIN79 BB cream that I wanted to try =DDDD So I get to try them all out before I decide which one I like the best. I feel like this set can even last me a while since I don't use a lot when I use BB cream. And the price is so good =D

I bought it on eBay from rubyruby76 (I have purchased from this seller before and this seller is awesome!), visit her store at here. To look at this miniature set, click here.

So anyway, just really excited and wanted to share with you all ^__^ will do a review on them once I get a solid feel of them.

Take care everybody =D

On rare occasions when I'm lazy with my eyes...

I just tightline my upper waterline and curl my lashes till they're almost standing at 90 degree angle and clump on loads of mascara XD

Photobucket

Lol weird? Yeah I'm not used to it either XD I either wear full-face makeup or I don't wear makeup at all XD so rare that I went "halfway" lol! But I was so incredibly lazy with my eyes that day XD

Closer look...
Photobucket
I usually fake a wider/rounder eye with my eyeliner... ohh noooo small eyes XD oh well

EVEN closer look XD
Photobucket
I was wearing the sample mascara I got from Lancome which is not waterproof =( therefore did not hold curls as well. Waterproof all the way peeps! XD


My next post will be on how I treat my skin when it's "acting out"... still working on it :) some people might find it disappointing though cuz I got it from youtube and it's just a variable of that recipe. Also I have pretty rare skin problems, at least I haven't met anyone else who has my condition!

Anyway I know a lot of you who are still in school are really busy. Just want to wish you guys good luck ^___^ and take care don't get sick! (speaking from a person whose throat feels swollen T_T )

By the way, I added my "beauty info" on the right-hand side, hopefully it'll be informative to some of you :D 

Talk to you guys soon =D

Tsbasa Masukawa inspired eyeliner

Hello hello hellooooooooooooo!!

How's everyone =D

I haven't done an inspired look in a while XD well it's not strictly an inspired look... just inspired eyeliner XD cuz I didn't do the eye shadow according to her pic (looks like she has orange-ish eye shadow on upper lid and bronze on the lower lid? can't really tell XD)

Here's the inspiration =D Tsubasa-san =D
Photobucket
Not her typical signature look, but I love it =D

Pointers to the eyeliner:
1. Extended, natural cat-eye flick on the upper liner. The angle of the flick is so it blends in with your lashes/falsies.
2. Thick outer 1/2 lower liner (with rounder shape)
3. Inner 1/2 lower liner is strictly on water line, keep it thin and subtle
4. Subtle cat-eye point on the inner corner of the eyes

So if you want to do the rest of the face like hers, of course use circle lenses, false upper and bottom lashes. She has baby pink on her cheeks, and bubble gum pink on her lips.

Photobucket
This is not too different from how I usually do my eyeliner, except for the pointy inner corner. Can you see?
Photobucket
The cat-eye point on the inner corner shows up better in this pic I think. I have tried doing this before but I always feel like this technique makes my eyes look dirty or something lol, but I finally got the gist of it =P the key is not over do it, especially with eyes small like mine lol.
Photobucket
lol natural sunlight lighting for a change =P I feel like the pointy inner corner almost make my eyes look bigger than usual?!?!?!?!???
Photobucket

Photobucket
sunlight makes me ghastly XD excuse my brows... I don't usually do them XD
And I'm wearing MAC Gaga lipstick =D 
Photobucket

Photobucket

I like the look but I don't think I'll be doing it often, cuz I have the habit of rubbing my inner corners with my fingers to check if there are boogers XD with the pointy inner corner I can't do that XD

Do you guys ever draw in the inner corners when you do your eyeliner???

Stay healthy everyone! I think I'm getting sick =( and with my face red and itchy and swollen... life can't get any better, haha!

New Winter Boots!

Hello hello!

How is everybody!! I hope everyone is doing great ^__^
My skin is currently acting out :( not sure what it's reacting to, but my face is so itchy and red >口< and I have some red bumps along my chin =(( oh nooo. Anyway, time to whip out my homemade remedy to pamper my skin and hope it'd go away X__X

Luckily! XD I have several posts pre-typed!! Muahaha!!! So hopefully by the time I run out of posts to share I can pick up my camera again XD

Today I want to share with all of you, my new winter boots =D
Well I wasn't supposed to buy new boots...  remember those DC boots I got on sale over the summer that I hope to wear in the winter?

Well they turned out to be the worst boots ever! \___/
I got them on Amazon, and yes I tried them on while I was at home, but not until I wore them out did I realize... they squeak like a m***** ******!!!! I didn't notice it cuz obviously they don't really make noises when worn on carpets.... but when I walk on a concrete surface, they squeak like I'm drenched in water or something.... it's SO loud that I gave up on these T__T

So yeah I had to get myself some new boots for the snowy winter here.

My old winter boots were from Juicy Couture:
Photobucket

Photobucket
I LOVED them so much!

But after wearing them for two winters they're covered in salt and the soles of my shoes are so worn...
Photobucket
hahaa there were holes in my soles.

So anyway! I ventured to Juicy Couture for boots again XD and I'm pleased to say I did find a perfect fit for me ^_________________^ And I bought it with coupon too XD *happy dance* maybe I will make it a tradition of wearing Juicy boots for winter? lol!

Photobucket
Lol Boba checking out my new boots XD
Photobucket

Photobucket
There's a logo on the back :) I'm kind of sad that this pair is not as "Juicy" as my last pair... but I got so many compliments wearing these out already lol
Photobucket
Detail on the buttons
  Photobucket
Boba hiding behind the box lol!

Here's how they look on me :)
Photobucket
The best thing is those boots have thick heels XD Ohhh I look a bit taller! muahahaha!

I'm also lusting after another pair of short boots from Nine West.... ah discipline Frances, discipline! >___<


That's all I have for you all! =D

Getting too tired of non-makeup related stuff yet? =P
