November 2013 Hit Listers

Hi guys! This list is coming in pretty late. I'll just keep it short though since it's already a little late. ^^

 1. Dear My BB Cream
-This one is actually pretty old and is my sister's. I just gave it a try since she wasn't using it anymore. It's actually a good BB cream. Probably one of the best I've tried.

2. iWhite Korea Aqua Moisturizing Cream
-This was recommended to me by my friend and I ended up liking it. A lot. It's a cream-type moisturizer that turns watery upon application. 

3. Watsons Green Tea Purifying Gel
-I've been looking for a good spot pimple corrector and decided to try this one. It takes a while to work but it does work and it's non-sticky so applying it throughout the day is no trouble. 

4. Revlon Lip Butter in Tutti Frutti
-I bought this for my sister a while back. It was on sale I think. i just tried it once then end up borrowing it a lot often since I really liked the color payoff. I thought it was gonna be too glossy and balm-y but it wasn't so it was pretty good. 

5. Cream Bath Wash from Daiso
-I bought this since I wanted a good wash for my brushes. Using hair shampoo is quite wasteful so I figured I'd try this since it's so big. It actually does the cleaning pretty well. And it's such a huge bottle to boot. 

6. Bobo Tiny Pots from Landmark

-I keep a couple of pots like these in hand just in case I open up samples or need to mix up a couple of colors, like with blushes and stuff. These ones are actually pretty cool because the designs are simply adorable. Such a great find I think. 

 7. Neutrogena Deep Clean Brightening Mulberry Ultra Foam Cleanser
-I've been meaning to try this for the longest time but had to wait because I still had a tube of facial wash. I'm actually glad I tried this. It makes the skin feel so soft and it smells so good.

 8. Tony Moly Silky Glaze Fruit Hair Spray
- Definitely the best hair spray I've ever tried. I'm used to the ones that make your hair stiff and wire-like and most of them smell, well, bad. This is just plain awesome because you can hardly tell that you have it on. It smells great and your hair won't be so wire-like.

9. Pony (Park Hye Min)
- One of my current favorite Korean make up artists. She looks so cute and her tutorials are very easy to follow. I also like how she uses a diverse set of items. She's just adorable and you should really check out her videos. Check one of them here.

10. King 2 Hearts
-Aside from The Heirs, I'm actually not watching any new dramas but one of the recent ones I've rewatched is King 2 Hearts. I love Ha Ji Won and I think playing a bad-ass role suits her best and being a North Korean soldier is definitely up her alley. Playing opposite her is Lee Seung-gi as a South Korean "prince." It's a pretty great drama to watch since you get to witness such a funny love story unfolding. 

And that's it! Hope you had a great weekend. Cheerio!

March 2013 Hit Listers and Happy Easter

Hi. First of all, let me greet y'all a Happy Easter! I apologize for being missing the past couple of days. I've been so busy with our Holy Week celebrations. 

Anyway, let me quickly share with you the stuff that have made my March extremely cool. ^^
1. That Winter, The Wind Blows
-Although the last episode is yet to air next week, this has already made it in my list. I loved Song Hye Gyo in Full House as the perky Jessie but I think I love her more here. She plays a blind heiress Oh Young, who, in my opinion, doesn't have an ounce of will to live. I don't want to spoil much of the story but it includes Zo In-Sung here playing Oh Soo, a gambler who enters Young life pretending to be her lost brother and is in need of money. Should be easy 'coz she's blind! But then again, this story has all sorts of twists and turns.

2. Artist Studio Powder Brush
- I've been looking for a soft yet affordable powder brush that's also big and fluffy and I think I've found it. Review on this to follow.

3. Nyx Soft Matte Lip Cream in Addis Ababa
-This has been my most used lippie since I bought it. It's just so awesome and long-lasting I want to buy other colors. Review here.

4. Faux-MAC Angled Blush Brush
-This angled blush brush is a part of a brush set that my mom got for me a few years ago. I took it out recently because I gave my sister my Marionnaud blush brush. And so far, I'm loving this too.

5. Avon Dew Kiss Tinted Lip Balm
-This is one of my favorite tinted lip balms because it comes off as a light pink color whereas most of my tints are either red or orange.

6. Daiso Eyelash Case
-This is hands-down the cutest eyelash case I've ever seen! 'Nuff said. See my review here.

7. Pink Box Donut Maker and Japanese Hair Bumps
-I've finally started investing on cool hair tools, aside from hair clips of course, which I probably have a gazillion of. The donut bun maker is actually my mom's which she passed on to me. And the hair bumps, which I got at Eastwood's bazaar, are for your less-than-a-minute-hair-poofing sessions. 

8. DIY Bleached Shorts
-My sister had a brief phase on DIY and I gave her my shorts to prettify and I love them! I'd probably buy a couple more and have her douse them with Zonrox.

9. Studded Bracelets
-Since it's been crazy hot the past few days, I've been avoiding wearing necklaces. I'm acidic and the heat and metal react on my skin, giving me bad rashes around the neck. So, at times like this, I take out my bracelets to spruce up my outfits.

10. Ramyun/Ramyeon/Ramen
-Our official midnight snack. Not just straight out of the pack though. Cooked on a Korean-inspired pot with eggs and odeng or fish cake. Yum.

Cheerio! And be careful tomorrow. Anything can happen on April Fool's Day.

Daiso Eyelash Case

Hey! Just another quick post here. A few weeks ago, I finally got a chance to drop by Daiso to find a small case for my falsies. Although I wear glasses, I keep a couple pairs of false eyelashes just in case of emergencies like special events and such where falsies would be life-savers for my mom or my sister, or me when I finally decide to wear contact lenses.

Then I found this cute eyelash case in Daiso and just decided it would be perfect for my growing collection. This can only house three pairs but I find no harm in buying a few more cases when I buy more falsies. These ones are my party-falsies since they're very elaborate. I may buy another case for natural looking fake lashes.

Sadly, this only comes in one color (at least in the Daiso near our place) and one size. But then again, this case is one cute item to collect. Plus, it can even hold a mini eyelash glue up top. =) This one's small enough to tag along when you're traveling.

Have a great week! Cheerio!
