Review: Etude house Precious Mineral BB cream


Hello everyone :)
I've decided to do a product review. The product I've decided to do it on is  Etude house's Precious Mineral BB cream. Since, I used it for a good amount of time. I thought I had used it enough to know about the product.

(**Disclaimer! This is my own thought of this product and this product might and can work differently depending on your skin type. and preferences)

First of all! if you do not know what a BB cream also known as the Blemish Balm. It's between a foundation and a tinted moisturizer. It's not really like a foundation because It isn't as heavy and full on and it isn't really like a tinted moisturizer because the BB cream isn't as light like a tinted moisturizer and the BB cream has a higher coverage. 

Let's start with the review!! 

This is what the packaging looks like. 
The packaging it really cute and princess like but also very simple. 
 On the front packaging the product claims to be "All day strong". From my experience I would say it really depends. On hotter days it stays for a shorter period of time since, we sweat also the BB cream can/would melt off because of the heat however, it isn't that bad. On colder days it stays longer sometimes almost the whole day!! Although, I said the BB cream would melt off during the hotter days it really isn't that bad. I would actually prefer this to a foundation and a tinted moisturizer because for everyday usage. Also it has a decent coverage!! It is also very easy to apply so when I'm in a hurry I would just pop this little baby on and done! Ready to leave.

 This is how the product looks like. On the left side is how it look without it being blended and on the right is slightly blended. It can look ashy and a bit white but compared to other BB creams it is not as ashy. Also, after you blend the product the ashy-ness goes away after a few minutes so that isn't a problem with blending in with the skin tone. As for photographs, for people who has darker skin the white cast can be more compared to people who have lighter skin. I think it is because it blends better with lighter skin people. In Etude house it comes in three shades and the shade I have is the darkest one. Even as a Korean I have a hard time looking for the right shade for my skin tone since, I'm quite dark. But this BB cream if blended correctly fits my skin tone but I'm still in a look for a BB cream that would perfectly match my skin tone.


 As you can see here there is a pump So, it is really hygienic! Personally I really like the pump compared to other BB creams where it comes in a squeezy tube or a tub. I know with a squeezy tube you can control the amount of product that comes out but I just like it with a pump. It looks nicer :P



Here is my full review of the Etude house Precious Mineral BB cream. Remember this is my own thought and my own experience. Hope you guys enjoy and see you again!! :)

Have a great day xx

New nails!

Hello everyone!!!!

I just came back from the nail salon! I was excited to go because I didn't go in in such a long time! When I got to the salon I wanted to get nail extentions because I was never allowed to have long nails. I had to play the bass in church Since 7th grade so I never was able to grow my nails. So here are the final results! I wasn't able to take picture with my DSLR for some reason... it just won't focus! So I took some with my webcam.... Hope it works.



 I love the bow on two of my fingers!! It's so cute!!!! wehehehehhehehehe!!! 
My nails actually feel weird... When i type and do stuff... It'sweird BUT SO WORTH IT!!! 




More snap shots of me just fooling around with my nails!! :)

Airplane Make up

Hello everyone!!! :)
I just came to Korea from the UK and it took about 10 hours in the plane!! Wow... that was a long ride! Well anyways, I don't like to wear make up in the airplane especially, if its a long ride (think about 10 hours!) but I want to look good when I get off the plane :P So, I just bring make up and put it on when I'm near my destination. That is why this blog is to show you the make-up items I brought with me in the plane.

Here it everything I brought with me! I am not a light packer... T.T as  you can see.. I need to learn how to pack lighter.... hahaha

Innisfree
Green tea pure skin (toner)
Green tea pure lotion
Before any make up! Skincare is very important! 
Especially, in the plane because in the plane you're skin can lack oxygen (I think.. correct me if I'm wrong) and it will dehydrate you skin big time! So I always make sure I have a moisturizer with me to deal with that problem~ Besides this I always wear a sheet mask if my plane ride is more than 5 hours. 

Face:
Dior
White reveal UV shield with SPF 50 - PA +++
I landed Korea at 3 pm ish so there was sun indeed! So ofcourse it is important to protect my skin so I used my screen screen as a sun protectant and a skin base for my make up as well.

Etude house
Precious Mineral BB Cream (#3)
I decided to bring my BB cream with me because 1) its easy to apply and 2) it is very hydrating especially for the winter days

Givenchy
Le prism Soft compact face powder
Although, I like my face dewy I still need to set my make up!! So, I used a light powder to do that :) and I love this powder! Not only does the package look gorgeous but it is very light weight! Just the way I like it.

Benefit
Moon bean high ligther! 
I need some glow to my face I decided to bring a very natural high lighter. 

 Eyes:
Urban decay
Eyeshadow Primer potion (travel size)
A base to hold all my make up because I didn't know how long I would be out when you arrive. 
Plus, It makes my make-up look neater. 

Rimmel London
Glam eyes quad eyeshadow (002 Smokey brun)
I brought a neutral quad with me because I didn't know if I wanted to do a nice and simple look or a smokey look (I went with nice and simple) also, I chose the neutral quad because a neutral quad can go with any outfit!

Urban decay
24/7 Glide-on eye pencil in Zero and Bourbon
I couldn't decide on the colour I wanted so I brought both! I ended using both hehe ... Good thing I brought both of them :P

Loreal
Extra- Volume Collagene
I randomly took this mascara from my kit. No real reason to why I chose this mascara. But its a good mascara anyways so no need to decide :)

Lips:
not in the picture but 
Kiehls
Lip balm in Mint
MAC
 Tinted lip conditioner SPF 15 in Fuchsia fix

I couldn't decide on which lip balm I wanted to bring So, I just brought one tinted one a none tinted one.I ended up using both products. I used the Kiehl's lip balm the whole time in the plane because my lips were dry the whole time also, I didn't wanted to have a tint on my lips during the plane ride. I used the MAC conditioner when I had to get off the plane. Lipstick was too bold for me so I just went with the lip tint.

MAC
Lipstick in Rebel (Satin finish)
I didn't know if I wanted to put lipstick so I just brought the lipstick I've been loving but ended up not even using it...


Brushes/utensils:
Sigma
Round top kabuki-F82
Best brush to apply my BB cream. So, I couldn't just not bring it 

Random place:
versatile eyeshadow brush
Since it a good shape to fill in a whole lid also fluffy enough to use as a contour for my eyes I brought this brush so that I bring less brushes! I love this brush! It is so versatile! 

 Random place:
Lash curler
I can't put mascara on without a lash curler! So, this is was a definite must bring!!  

This is the end of my airplane make up! Hope you guys enjoyed this post! If you have anyways questions never hesitate and ask! :)

Have a great day xx

Haul: December 13, 2011

Hello everyone! 
My first blog is a haul, going back to Korea for vacation after a short but long 3 months of university. When I got to the airport... I couldn't resist buying stuff at the airport (duty free) and in the airplane (Sky shop). Weeheee so here are the stuff that I bought :)

So BEAUTIFUL :') (tear)
So here is a closer look of everything!!!

Yves Saint Laurent  
Mascara Volume effect Faux Cils
Super excited for this Mascara!!! I've been wanting to try this mascara in ages!! 
and I finally got it woohooo!!!

Julique
Hydrating hand cream in Rose
Soothing hand cream in Lavander

Chanel
 Illusion D'ombre in 82 Emervelle
The colour is so beautiful!!! I can't wait to use it!!!! 

Clinique
Chubby Stick in 05 Chunky Cherry
apparently this is a moisturizing lip colour balm 
so hopefully this will help my dry lips for the winter season :)


Benefit
 Posie tint
I've had my eyes on this product for a long time! I always hesitate to buy it because it was quite pricey and I had similar products as well. But I just went for it. So here it is :) I hope it was a good buy... 

Lancome
 L'absolu nu in 302 Voile de rose
The pattern of this lipstick was too nice I couldn't resist! 
I was looking around duty-free and stopped by the Lancome counter and saw this lipstick. I had to have it! It's just so beautiful! Hopefully the lipstick itself would be as good as the pattern. hehe (I know I shouldn't judge the packaging but I couldn't.. T.T)

Kiehl
Lip balm 
2 x Originals
1 x Mango
1 x Pear
1 x Cranberry
This would be a great stocking stuffer as well as good for your dry lips :)

So, these are all the items that I have bought in duty free and in the Sky shop. I am so excited to try all these items!!! and if you guys have any questions give me a message or a comment! I can post a full review of it :)
