Hi-ho! Omg it's been, what, 3 weeks since I last updated!? :c So sorry about being absent these few weeks. It was my finals week and AFA (Anime Festival Asia) the following week, so I have lots of things to do. :c You know, studying stuff and sewing costumes and all ;u;) BUT, nevertheless holiday is here and I'm back for you guys <33

Today I'm going to share about these jam-like capsules I got from Innisfree! I got 2 for a sum total of $7 <3 I say it's a pretty good deal since each capsule can be used up to 3 times treatment, depending how much you slather on~  I got my capsules from one of the Innisfree branch store in Takashimaya, Singapore.

Moving on, I'm going to review one of the capsules, which is the Aloe capsule. Inside the capsule, there are little aloe bits and generous amount of jelly that soothes the skin. As I said before, there are quite a lot of it (10ml), so you can use it up to 2-3 times. I do recommend setting them aside in the fridge for 1 hour before using, because it feels absolutely nice and chilling during the 'never-ending' hot season in Indonesia!

All you need to do is follow these 4 steps!

1. Cleanse your face beforehand, so that the aloe goodness can seep easily into your pores

2. Swipe generous amount of the gel to your facial area (maybe about half the capsule pack c:)

3. Massage gently, but thoroughly to maximize gel absorption to the skin.

4. Let it sit for 10 minutes before rinsing them off with lukewarm water.

** Store the remaining gel in the capsule (to secure it close, you can hook the metallic lid to the pack itself) in the fridge!**

Ta-da! Your face should be as smooth as a baby's butt! Hahaha I have no idea how to express it, but my face became super-duper smooth after using this mask! So, if you asked me "Would you buy these capsule packs again in the future?", DUH YES. I think I'm going to hoard the whole capsule rack next time I visit Singapore HAHA.

Can't wait to review the next capsule pack, Bija and Aloe Sleeping Pack! Look forward to that, okay? c: See ya in my next review and comment down below, which one is your favourite Innisfree capsule pack and which one do you recommend the most.

Hello lovelies! Last Sunday, I had the chance to go to IASO's promotional event in Grand Indonesia. There are a total of 17 bloggers that attended this event, including me~ :9 The team is very thoughtful to provide us with food and drink, in case we need it. The presentation started with IASO spokesperson going through the details behind IASO with doctorate representative to explain the scientific details on it. They also provide personalized consultation on our skintypes and what IASO products suit us best.

We got to try the peeling cream on the spot. It is water-based, so it doesn't feel greasy at all. In fact it's pretty mosturizing as well! The cream quickly peels off dead skins and using circular rubbing motions, the dead skin residues easily fall off just like that :D Neat, isn't it?

 We also had games where we have to decorate our Cover Veil Pact and whoever did the best job, deserves to bring home some additional goodiebags. (I must say, I performed quite poorly in this game and to be honest, I can't really do artistic stuff that includes lots of details like this ;u;) Down below, I've included works of the others and a picture of us together with our creations~

 We all are looking at different cameras, HAHA

Some of the products that are displayed in front and we got to test it out a little bit. I absolutely love all 6 of their lip products! <3 The other products are great too, I wish I could have them all to myself :9

After arriving home, I got to see the products in detail. In the goodie bag I received, inside there are 3 sample-size packs of peeling cream, travel-size Triple Protection BB and Aroma Clear Cleansing Foam, a Cover Veil Pact (that we got to decorate earlier) and a lip crayon with the colour of our choice.

Very bold, yes? ;)

Look how pigmented that is!

Hey guys! Today I'm going to share with you this look that is inspired from Goo Hara's Mamma Mia MV. This song is definitely catchy and the music video itself is so dreamy-like, I'm totally diggin it! The main focus of Hara's look is the straight, full eyebrows and minimalistic makeup. So no exaggerated eyeliners whatsoever <3 Natural makeup seems to be the trend too, so you can use it for everyday. Without further ado, let's start! <333

====================================================================

FIRST STEP: BASE MAKEUP

►Apply generous pump of CC cream to reduce redness and discoloration

►Apply BB Cream by lightly tapping it using sponge/beauty blender

►Use concealer that fits your skintone to cover imperfections, dark circles, etc.

SECOND STEP: EYE MAKEUP

►Apply taupe eyeshadow on the outer-V of the eye, extending out.

►Draw a line on the eyelid, following the natural contour of your eye socket.

►Lightly dab peach shimmer eyeshadow all over the eyelid.

►Using dark brown shadow, apply it on the outer-V of the eye, nearing the waterline.

►Slightly draw a line on 1/4 of the lids to create deeper eyes effect.

►Blend everything with a clean fluffy brush.

►Using an angled brush, draw a line under the eyes to create aegyosal.

[ For more detailed tutorial on Aegyosal, click HERE ]

►Apply rose champagne shimmer shadow to the inner eye corner to brighten up the eyes.

►Create a slight cat-eye with sharp-tip eyeliner, or you can just tightline it with pencil liner.

►Curl your eyelashes with your favourite curler. (Mine's Shu Uemura <3)

►Apply generous amount of mascara on the upper and lower lashes, but refrain from applying too much or you'll have "spider legs lashes"! (Which looks horrible D:)

THIRD STEP: EYEBROW, SHADING, LIPSHADE

►Using an angled brush, fill in the brows and make it straight (slightly downward) for that innocent look.

►Lightly dab taupe matte eyeshadow or your favourite bronzer on the sides of the nose bridge.

►Apply a little bit of shimmery powder on the nose bridge to make it look taller.

►Create vibrant gradient lips using lip concealer, lip liner and lip tint.

►Contour the cheekbone, chin and temples to make an illusion of slimmer face.

►Apply generous amount of peach/pink-colored blush on.

==============================================================

Goo Hara looks lovely as usual in the music video <3 As expected from my favourite KARA member! So, who should I do (inspired look) next? Comment down below and let me know <3

Good evening, people! Today I'm going to review this Etude House product I got not long ago. It's Dear Girls Cute Eyes Maker <3 It's a double-ended cream eyeshadow (matte taupe color and rose champagne color) to accentuate your aegyo sal for that youthful look.

"What's an aegyo sal?"

Aegyo sal is the fatty deposits beneath the eyes, but not to be mistaken as eyebags. Aegyo sal tends to appear smaller than eyebags and makes an illusion of bigger eyes. Many korean idols have been rocking the doe-like eyes by accentuating their aegyo sal and that's what this product for, to help you create or accentuate your aegyo sal in 2 simple steps!

Taupe color <left> and Rose Champagne color <right>

The eyeshadows on both ends are creamy and pigmented. The sponges are durable, making it easier to apply and usable for a long time.

Areas to apply the eyeshadows on (red line - taupe color, pink cross - rose champagne color)

First, I apply few strokes of the taupe eyeshadow on the area where my aegyo sal is located. It looks visibly darker beneath my eyes. I highly recommend using eye primer before doing this product as it helps the aegyo-sal makeup last all day long.

Apply generous strokes of the rose champagne eyeshadow cream right beneath the eyes. This is the important part of the whole steps. The rose champagne color highlights the aegyo sal and making it looks real. Since I want my aegyo sal to look even more protruding, I outline the aegyo sal using a darker brown eyeshadow and MAC's angled brush.

My eyes looks so much bigger after using this product. The eyes look less tired and open up my eyes even more. If you're looking for ways to make your eyes bigger, this is definitely one sure-way to do it. Overall, this product is great and has been my staple makeup items for everyday makeup. I hope you guys like this review/tutorial ;)

Hey guys! I'm going to show you my very first tutorial <3 It is going to be about how to achieve that ulzzang gradient lip everybody have been rocking~ This is requested by a friend of mine who is curious on this style of gradient lip. I've been using this style for a while now since it gives a nice touch to any look and looks very nice when cosplaying pretty shoujo characters.

Gradient lips for cosplaying different characters

-- STEP ONE --

It's best to keep your lips hydrated and plump before applying any products to it. I'm using Burt's Bees Pomegranate Lipbalm to mosturize my chappy lips. This particular lipbalm has pomegranate oil in it, which hydrates and revitalizes your lips with a hint of color for an even, beautifully toned appearance!

-- STEP TWO --

Apply generous amount of concealer on the lip, but rather focus on the outer corner of the lips and slowly blend away for a smoother gradient effect. Etude House's Lip Concealer does the job for me, though it was rather lighter than my skintone.

-- STEP THREE --

Line your lips with a lip liner and fill them in. This acts as a matte base for all your tints later on. I'm using Bobbi Brown's Lip Liner in Brownie Pink, as it matches my skintone best.

-- STEP FOUR --

Apply a coral cream liptint on the inner lips and blends outwards. For coral liptint, I have Shu Uemura's 6Princess Lip & Cheek Tint. It's very creamy, pigmented and suitable for this gradient look.

-- STEP FIVE --

Apply a thin line of blood red liptint on the inner lips and blend outwards with a clean lipstick brush. By using a lipstick brush, you have more control and can build up the gradient colors. If done correctly, the colors should gradient like blood-red >>> coral >>> brownie pink >>> nude.

-- STEP SIX --

Swipe a tiny amount of concealer onto your ring finger and dab it gently to the outer corner of the lips. This ensures the colors to look more vibrant and reapply on the corners that might've smudged through the process.

-- STEP SEVEN --

Apply generous amount of lipgloss for a sophisticated look. In this tutorial, I would love to have a matte look. Instead of using clear lipgloss, I applied enough lipbalm to hydrate my lips again.

Finished Result! <3

That's the end of this tutorial! 7 simple steps that even beginners can follow <3 Note to anyone attempting this, there will be times when the colors might not suit you but don't let it prevent you from finding the perfect shade of pink/coral/red for this gradient look! Everyone has different skintones and one color might not complement one another. It's totally okay!

Practice makes perfect and practice means more shopping, and more shopping means more collection! Yay for wide collection of makeup \m/ I hope you like this tutorial, sorry for making it picture-heavy but I hope you guys get this tutorial anywas. :")
