E-bay haul: October edition

Hello, guys~!
I`m here again~ hehe I like online shopping a lot, which you could probably see from my posts :p As I am living in a small city in Russia *yeah, my country sucks when it comes to good shops*, I can get some awesome products only purchasing them online. And the best place for me is E-bay! The most purchased items (in my case) are: CD disks & cosmetics from Korea; clothes, shoes & accessories from China; food and beauty supplements from Japan.
No wonder, I am always waiting for something kkk
Right now I am going to show some things I have received during this month.

1. Tonymoly Baby Doll BB powder
+ Lioele Fresh sun screen SPF 45 as a sample

This is a second time I`ve purchased this powder. It means this product is awesome. Really! Because it`s a rare case to me to buy the same cosmetic product again, as I always want to try something new, to find a better one. 

2. Black knee-high stockings with spikes!

 
They are just super cool! Comfortable and look amazing ^-^ I wear them with skirt and my black creepers.

3. EOS honeysuckle\honeydew lip balm

I`m using it right now ^-^ Overall, it leaves a pleasant feeling, but there is also something I don`t like about it. I won`t write its pros and cons here, as I am planning to post a full review. Stay tuned!! ;p

4. MIZON Special Therapy Good Night white sleeping mask and A.C Care Solution Mark-X blemish after cream

Sleeping mask is wonderful! It works pretty good. But I haven`t really tried "blemish after cream". So, I might write more about these two products later~ *if i won`t be too lazy -_-`*

5. The Face Shop Rice Ceramide moisture toner & emulsion

+ The Face Shop Chia Seed cream and SKINFOOD Watery Berry blending cream as samples from seller

I have already included both Rice Ceramide toner and emulsion in my daily skin care routine. And as far I have only positive results. Gonna use them a little bit more, before giving better description. ^-^

6. Meiji Vegetable & Fruit Gummy with collagen

I have eaten them all, because the pack was small ^^` Candies look like little carrots (like on the front side of the pack) and has citrus and carrot taste. Very yummy!! And as they contain collagen, they are also good for skin~ *that`s why I like Japanese products lol*

p.s. if you are interested in some particular product from this list, let me know. I might write a review on it. 

^-^ 

Innisfree & The Face Shop - Seoul haul~

Annyeong~!! ^^
I continue sharing cosmetic products I have bought during my trip in Korea. The time has come to show some Innisfree and The Face Shop products. These two brands are in a list of my favorite Korean cosmetic companies. Mostly because of their "nature-friendly" concept, but also because of the high quality of the products and great results after usage.

1. Innisfree
Innisfree is a well-know Korean brand, which is quite popular in many countries. Innisfree Wine peeling jelly softener was one of the first Korean cosmetic products I have tried. And it was like 3 years ago.. So I have a long history of "relationship" with this brand. So far, I have only positive experience. And I hope it will stay this way. ^^

This is how Innisfree stores look like - white & green. ^^ 

So, what have I bought there?

o, how i love their eco bags!! ^^

• Eco volume mascara #black
• Capsule recipe pack: honey and peach
• It`s real sheet mask: cucumber, acai berry and tea tree (one was as a present, but I don`t remember which ><`).

• Jeju Sudachi soothing mask
• It`s real sheet mask: shea butter, pomegranate and kiwi
• Capsule recipe pack #apple
• Samples: Green barley clear scrub (2 pcs.) and white tone up sleeping pack (2 pcs.).

2. The Face Shop

I have never tried the products of this brand before my trip to Korea. Of course I have heard about The Face Shop and I have seen some ads, but I just haven`t got a chance to test it. So while I was in Korea, I have thought it was a right time to buy something from The Face Shop store. Now I can say I am absolutely in love with the brand! Both the Nature Republic and The Face Shop are my favorite Korean brands at this moment. 

As you can see the concept of the store is almost the same as Innisfree`s

And this is what I have bought there:

• Aloe fresh 95% all-in-one moisture gel 500 (!!!) ml
• Mini capsule pack wash off type #cucumber
• Real nature sheet mask: Avocado, Aloe, Acai berry, Mung bean and Red ginseng. 

By the way, The Face Shop sheet masks are awesome!! Don`t hesitate to try them out! ^_- 

And this super huge "bowl" of aloe gel.. mm it is super good, too! 

Music favorites. October

Heeey~! ^-^
This edition of "Music favorites" is special. I usually write TOP 5 of my favorite songs of the month. But this time I have a big struggle - I had to decide whether it would be the TOP 5 as usual, or TOP 7, because I have way more favorite songs this time! After all, I made a decision to post TOP 7 favorite songs as i like them all that much. Actually, I like some of them more, others less. But overall all of them have made my mood during the month.

1. 빅스  "어둠 속을 밝혀줘" (VIXX - Light Up the Darkness\Light me up)
There is no official MV for this song, but VIXX has performed it at various radio and TV programs. So I will show a video from Arirang Sound K radio show and their performance (not full song though) from "Global request show: A song for you" from 131011. Or you can search for Shimshimtapa from 130605.
The song is truly amazing! The lyrics and music - everything awesome! And of course Leo`s voice with Ravi rap = 대박!!

2. 비투비 "사랑밖에 난 몰라" ( BTOB - Lover Boy\I only know love)

This is one of the Korean songs I can actually sing lol Except rap parts, of course~ I like it because.. it is beautiful. It is kinda slow for my usual liking, but this time I don`t care about that ;p Besides it is so fun to watch BtoB performs this song *Ilsik moments!!! fangirling~~~*

3. 비투비 "스릴러" (BTOB - Thriller) 

Crazy Ilhoon is crazy lol Great song, but it wasn`t a "love from the 1st tune" to me kkk Some songs need time to fall for. O, and behind the scene video for this MV is worth seeing!! *shirtless Hyunsik~ dying*

4. 비투비 "WOW" (BTOB - WOW)

Super-super catchy song! With crazy cool dance ;p I don`t like the MV that much *that girl was super annoying! :<*, so I am going to show a dance practice instead ^^ It is way more fun to watch! keke

5. 블락비 "Very Good" (Block B - Very Good)

Block B is an awesome group, but this guys has so many troubles >< Last year all BBCs were thrilled, because the group had filled a lawsuit against its agency. After that no one was sure what was going to happen with Block B. Fortunately, after almost a year, guys has returned with super cool awesome crazy song - Very Good! Which is very good indeed kkk MV is crazy in a good way. It is absolutely their style with some GD in it. Love it!

6. 나인뮤지스 "와일드"  (Nine Muses - Wild)

I am not a fan of girl groups, but I do like some songs from this or that group. This song is the one I really like. Catchy and beautiful, like the ladies of Nine Muses. MV is rated +19 though! kk For Korean audience I think, because perverted Europeans *like me* see nothing rated here. 

7. 빅스  "Hyde" (VIXX - Hyde)

Very good song with some "dark" scent in it~ I like the concept and dance a lot! Enjoy it, too~ ^-^

 

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! ^^

Music favorites. September

Annyeong~! ^-^
The middle of the month is the perfect time for Music favorites!! I will show an update version of TOP 5 songs, I have been listening a lot recently. As always, I will post them in no particular order, without any "best of the best" songs, because I love them all lol~
Anyway, here we go~!

1. EXO "Black Pearl"
EXO-K leader Suho once have mentioned in the interview for Chinese program, that this is his favorite song from the album. And after that I have decided to check it. Wow~ I was so shocked! The song is absolutely beautiful!! >< For me, it was a love from the first tune kkk
There is no MV for the song, but even without visual part the song is truly amazing!

2. EXO "Heart attack"
Together with "Black Pearl" I discovered "Heart attack". I can`t tell you why I find this song so catchy and why I like it that much, so it is in my current TOP 5. I just like it for everything: music, lyrics, the atmosphere it makes.
Once again, as it isn`t the title song from the album, there is no official video for it. Just enjoy the music. ^^

3. EXO "Let out the beast"

I swear I haven`t plan to make EXO-centric TOP. ;o It`s an accident!! haha

"Let out the beast" is the latest song I have noticed. I guess I like it mostly for the rap part kk After all I am Chanyeol biased ^-^`

And yeah, sadly no MV for this song, too~

 

4. Infinite (인피니트) "Man in love" (남자가 사랑할때)
Okey, I know the song isn`t all new. Infinite has promoted it like half of the year ago. But as I am not a huge fan of this group "sorry, you know Sungyeol how much I love you though~! oh, well, maybe you don`t know >-<`", the 1st time I have heard it was ~a month ago. t_t I feel so sad~ The song gives happy fresh feeling, so I wish I had listened it earlier ><

5. B.A.P "I remember" (With 대현) (방용국 Solo)

Here is the story... There is original version of the song, with Bang Yongguk rap (solo, rap) and Yoseob from Beast (for chorus). But I like the other version with Daehyun singing the chorus (you can find this version at B.A.P Crush repackage album). 

Below, I will post the original song which has an MV, as well as, the live version, where Yongguk is performing with Daehyun.
