September favorites~!

Hello, guys~! ;p
How is October? Do you enjoy it~? We have already had snow.. at the end of September T_T so annoying! And today I have woken up just to see that the temperature outdoors was -5`C :o I hate living in the north
-_-`
Anyway, today I have finally decided to write another edition of "the favorite products of the month"! I know, it is kinda late, as half of the October has already passed, but I think it is better to do something late, than never, right? kk
By the way, if you want to know what I have been using (and liking) during past months, you are welcome to check - August and July favorites.

1. Skin care products


  1. Hadalabo Gokujyun Deep Moisturizing Lotion 170 ml - very good moisturizing product, which I have been using for more than 6 months now. It works the best if you apply the lotion right after cleansing your face. It makes the skin soft and healthy. Unfortunately, it is going to end this month t_t
  2. Dr.POST Snail Collagen Aquaring gel 300 ml - it hydrates, lifts and smooths skin. It is fine to use it all over your face and body. I, personally, apply it as a body "lotion" (gel). It works pretty good and keeps my skin moisturized. 
  3. Nature Republic AQUA super aqua max moisture watery cream 80 ml - i can use it at any part of the day, because it soaks fast and doesn`t leave "oily" shimmer on your face. These days I apply it in the morning as a base for powder (powder makes my skin dry, so such moisturizing cream is a must). O, and this cream is for dry skin! Beside this kind, there are also AQUA creams for both oily and normal skin types.

2. Make up and other


  1. Etude House Easy peel-off base coat 8 (?) ml - every girl who likes glitter and shimmery nail polishes must have such product! What you have to do with it is just to apply this coat as a base and after ~5 minutes put a glitter or shimmer on the top. When you get tired of your glitter, all you need is to peel of the color! ^^ Super fast and no harm to your nails!
  2. Maybelline Colorama Talisman collection #50 Amethyst 7,5 ml - very beautiful color with small shimmer. It looks amazing on nails!
  3. Essence Color & go #147 Miss Universe 8 ml - black color (base) with green and blue sparkles. Looks fantastic! ^^
  4. Etude House Apricot stick  #1 달콤 포도 - gives light pinkish color and smells like grapes ~so yummy!! >< 
  5. Holika Holika Wonder drawing eyeliner auto stick - the best way to use it, is to apply on water line. I prefer to apply it on upper water line - this way it is almost invisible but at the same time it makes your eyes brighter and more noticeable - looks super natural and beautiful! ^^

Holika Holika & Tonymoly - Seoul haul~

Hey, minna~! ^^
Today I will continue my "series" of Seoul hauls. This time I am going to show another cosmetic products from two Korean brands - Holika Holika and Tonymoly~!!

1. Holika Holika
I like the concept of the brand - witchery and mystery. But as I am not interested in make up that much (I am going crazy when it comes to skin care though ;o), I couldn`t find lots of products at Holika holika shops, which I would really like.
Anyway, let me show how their shops look like ;p


And these are the products I have bought there:
  • Apple Shine peeling sheet (2pcs.)
  • Dessert Time Blueberry and Melon pudding packs
  • Baby Silky Foot mask sheet
  • Samples - Honey sleeping pack & Water March moisture full cream
  • Hand Warmer Moisture hand cream #berry
  • Baby Silky Foot mask sheet
  • Lavender Tea mask sheet
  • Samples - Prime Youth toner & emulsion and Face 2 Change Moist Cushion bb cream 

2. Tonymoly
Tonymoly is a good Korean brand, however I can`t say i like it that much. I have found there super good products (for ex.: Babydoll bb powder, Dear Me petite cotton bb cream and Dear Me Waterful skin), but I can`t say I am a huge fan of this brand overall. 
Anyways, here is the concept of the Tonymoly shops:
JYJ~!! ^^

And these are some products I have bought at Tonymoly~!

  • Tea Tree Seed cleansing cream
  • Natural Help Essence sheet mask: Ginseng & Makgeolli
  • Sample - Floria flower energy foam cleanser

  • Dr.Tony AC control pink dip spot serum
  • Changing U Magic Foot peeling shoes
  • Samples (girl in the shop was sooo kind to give lots of samples!!) - Floria whitening cream (3pcs.), Floria active peeling gel (2pcs.) and Clean Dew Broccoli cleansing cream (2pcs.).

[Review] Baviphat Unbelievable RICH Volume Mascara & Holika Holika Wonder Drawing Eyeliner auto stick

Annyeong~! ^-^
Do you enjoy first days of spring? Ah, I don`t know what`s going on here, but the weather seems to be more colder these days, than it was during winter!! WTH?! >-<` I was waiting for real spring for so~~~ long! And what have I got? NOTHING, but winter x_x
lol
Anyways, at the end of 2012, I have received a present from my Korean friend. She sent me two products, which I am going to talk about this time.
Here they are: Baviphat Unbelievable RICH Volume Mascara and Holika Holika Wonder Drawing Eyeliner Auto Stick.

1. Baviphat Unbelievable RICH Volume Mascara

I have wanted to try some Korean mascara for a long time. I have been using Maybelline mascara for ages, and I am absolutely satisfied with it. However I just wanted to have something new. Who knows, Korean mascara might be better, right? kkk~
My friend seemed to know my wishes, so she bought me  Baviphat Unbelievable RICH Volume Mascara as a part of birthday present. I was so exciting and happy!! ^-^`
BUT! I felt insecure, right after I have seen a brush. Why? Look here:

Yes! Curvy brush!! Seriously! t_t Such brushes are pain in the ass. I hate using them. Even Maybelline mascara with a brush like this is annoying and not as good as ordinary brush mascara is. Yeah, I avoid using mascaras with curvy brushes. But it was a present. So I`ve decided to give a chance to this mascara.  
And what do you think guys? This brush isn`t as bad as it seems to be. kkk I worried for nothing! Yes, it is less comfortable than ordinary straight brush, but it is still easy in use. *what a relief*
What can I say about  Baviphat mascara:
  • easy to apply, leaves no clumps and smudges, no marks on eyelids!
  • I can say nothing about curly-effect, which was promised by Baviphat, because my lashes are curly by nature ^-^
  • this mascara provides "natural" volume, you won`t have a dramatic effect with super thick lashes
  • talking about minuses.. it has only one big lack - it is difficult to remove the mascara. I am using Nivea eye make-up remover, and it isn`t strong enough for Korean product. So I waste more time, removing this mascara >-<``

2. Holika Holika Wonder Drawing Eyeliner auto stick
swatch

Because of the camera flash, it looks like the eyeliner isn`t pigmented enough. It isn`t true! It has really deep black color. This eyeliner is comfortable in use. It`s easy to draw arrows in corners of the eyes~ So I have no problems with applying. However. It`s an ordinary eyeliner without any great points. It doesn`t last long and smears a little. It also leaves marks on eyelids after a couple of hours. The good thing is that  Holika Holika Wonder Drawing Eyeliner is easy to remove with any make-up remover or even clean water.

Here is some photos of how these two products look in my eyes. The quality of pictures isn`t great. Just bear with it.

That`s it! 
International Women`s Day (8th of March) is coming~! Have great time, girls!! ^-^

[How to] Lip scrub!

Hey, guys~ ^-^
I`m sure, every girl wants to have soft and beautiful lips, without any cracks, peeling parts, etc. Thanks to different cosmetic companies, we could keep our lips in good condition. Just look at all these cute packages of tasty looking lip scrubs from various Korean cosmetic brands!

 
 Etude House Kissful Lip Care Lip Scrub 10g                                             Baviphat Apple Jelly Lip Scrub 6g


 Holika Holika Lip Rescue Trio (scrub)                                              Missha The Style Melting Sugar Lip Scrub

                                                                         
Innisfree Eco Windy Lip Scrub Green Tea 15ml                        Nature Republic Mango Bebe Lip Scrub 10ml   

Tonymoly Kiss Kiss Lip Scrub 9g

Wow! The choice is great. I, personally, want to try them all kkk~ Even though all these scrubs aren`t that expensive I see no reason why I should spend 5-10$ for a small tube or jar of it. Seriously! I know how it is important to take good care of my lips, so lipstick, lip gloss or tint would look great on it. At the same time I want to keep my money.
So, for the ones, who is at the same situation as I am, there is an easy decision - home-made lip scrub. ^-^
Most scrubs are sugar-based, that`s why you could use an ordinary sugar to scrub your lips!

How to:
  1. Moisten your lips
  2. Put a little amount of sugar in your palm
  3. Move your palm to lips and press it, so the grains of sugar will stuck on your lips
  4. Gently rub your lips
  5. Wash away remain sugar with lukewarm water
  6. Use your favorite lip balm.
Scrub your lips 2 or 3 times a week and they will stay soft and beautiful with or without make up! ^-^Y

p.s. You may use salt instead of sugar~ ^-^
