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! ^^

August favorites~!!

Hi, guys~! ^^
This entry is all about my favorite products of the month - August edition! ;p Thought, I have been using mostly the same products I have included in my July favorites (check it!!), I still have some new products I like a lot and which I want to show you, guys.
As I have done in previous "favorites", I will divide all products into two categories: skin care and make-up & other.

1. Skin care products

1. MIZON Collagen Power firming eye cream 10 ml - I can`t say about great results yet, but I like how this cream makes the skin under eyes lighter and less "tired-looking".
2. Nature Republic Herb Dressing Gold Honey foam cleanser 170 ml - Very soft foam with moisturizing effect. It cleanse very good and doesn`t leave my skin dry and irritated. I like to use it between my favorite SNP Pore cleansing foam.  
3. Nature Republic Phyto Massage cream #Avocado 150 ml - Very rich nourishing cream! I use it ~once a week. It makes the skin smoother and softer.

2. Make-up and other

1. Etude House DBR403 Royal Coral nail polish 10 ml (?) - vivid color and dries fast!! The color reminds me of some yummy water-melon kk It looks super pretty on nails. ^^
2. Etude House PPK006 파티러버 nail polish 10 ml (?) - nail polish has light lavender color with lots of beautiful sparkles of different kinds. I like to apply it on all nails, or just to make an accent on one nail.
3. Innisfree Eco volume mascara #black 6 g - good mascara with the "natural volume" effect. It has classic nice brush which I like so much. ^^ It easy to apply and remove it. 

That`s all for this edition! ;p What are your favorite cosmetic products of the month? Do you like something from my favorites too?

July favorites~!!

Hello, guys~! ^-^
July has already passed and I can already sense the autumn coming ;o I don`t feel sad, though. I like autumn more than summer ~kk *i pretty much hate hot super sunny weather t_t*
Anyway, as a 1st entry for August I want to share my favorite products of July. This is my very first time writing such issue, but I think from now on i will do it every month.. maybe~ haha I don`t know yet, because I am sure i am going to use the same products in this month too *actually I am already doing it ;p*.
How my "favorites" will look like? I am planning to post a picture with a description of the products and a few words comment of my impression of it *prepare for "omgosh i love it so much!!!" ahaha*.
Here it is~

1. SNP Pore Cleansing Foam 150 ml - great foam, which helps to keep my skin clean and healthy ^-^

3. The Face Shop Aloe fresh 95% all-in-one moisture gel 500 (!!) ml - great as a body lotion or a light gel for face. Can be used even as a hair mask!
4. Nature Republic Natural Color Tangerine pack (peel off) 120 ml - very good pack, makes my skin super soft.
5. SKINFOOD Egg white pore mask 100 g - has the same effect as a clay mask - makes my skin healthy and pores less noticeable ;p

2. Make up and other

1. Tonymoly Dear Me Petite Cotton bb cream 30 g - really good bb cream which i use as a concealer, not for a whole face.
2. Colormatic Premium EyeMarker no. 01 (black eyeliner) - i like marker eyeliners! They are so easy to use ^^
3. A`PIEU Full of Nature mascara (black) - perfect volume mascara.
4. The Face Shop Mini Pet Sweet hand cream 30 ml - very cute packaging with a good moisturizing hand cream in it.  
5. Innisfree No-Sebum Mineral powder - the best powder i have so far, small format, but I have been using it for months now.
6. The Body Shop Strawberry eau de toilette 30 ml - i am addicted to this fresh yet sweet strawberry scent! I use it pretty much every day since March, and i still have 1\3 left ^^.

So that was my July favorites~ ^^ I am using all this products in this month too, so I am not sure if there will be another favorites for August.. well, we`ll see! ~hehe

p.s. Have you noticed that I use almost only Korean products? ~kk That`s because they are always good - great price with an amazing results~! After trying them I don`t want to use other cosmetic products than Korean. ;p

Nature Republic - Seoul haul~

Hey, guys~! ^^
I continue writing about my trip to Korea. And this time I am going to show what I have bought at Nature Republic store in Seoul.

at Sinchon

big shop at Myeongdong

Actually, I have never been a big fan of this brand before, but when I was in Seoul, I have noticed that I was visiting Nature Republic shops a lot. So at the end of the trip I had a lot of products from this store~! kkk The reason is pretty simple - Nature Republic has many interesting cosmetic products with affordable prices. Besides, during my stay in Korea, they had a couple of sales and other cool events.
For now, I have tried most of the products, which i had bought. And I am going to say - i LOVE all of them! So I have no regrets for buying so many ~ahaha
Here are the products I have bought at Nature Republic shops:

• Herb Dressing Gold Honey foam cleanser
• Hawaiian fresh seaweed pack (peel off) and pineapple pack (wash off)
• Presents - Whitening Collagen Dream essence and  Whitening Collagen Dream mask sheet

• Sleeping Tonight Lavender sleeping pack
• Natural color Orange Tangerine pack (peel off)

• Phyto Massage Avocado cream
• Aqua moisture watery cream
• Presents - Aqua combination watery mask sheet & massage cream, essence and toner

That`s it! ^-^ Next time I will write about Tony Moly and Holika Holika haul ~hehe

[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~ ^-^
