Well, the exams are upon us (me)!
I will be taking a 2 week break from blogging and most things internet related to ensure I get a satisfactory mark for these exams as they determine my further education!
I'll try to get a better review and before & after pictures of the Dr Jart Silver Label BB Cream, Tony Moly BB Cream and Tony Moly Lip Tint when I can though. Plus the white satin opera length gloves I bought on Ebay recently too, once they arrive~

Gmarket buys #2
I've been waiting for the package all day and it finally arrived~
I don't actually use make up, but I figured that I would need to practice since I'm planning to do my own for the formal. Plus, BB cream is a must! And I've always wanted to try it.
^ Being the monster I am, I ripped it all open once I got my hands on it ;D
My buys seems sorta random xD
^The Tony Moly mini/sampler with the BB cream and sample size lip tints (I actually bought another mini sampler lip tint :/) I haven't tried the BB cream yet, but will do soon. (I should probably post a photo of a before/after of the lip tint).
Was surprised when I tried it on as I wasn't use to the texture. Once I put it on, my lips sorta absorbed it and it seemed like the colour was also absorbed to the middle/inner part of the lip! Downside to this is that it comes off easily (OR I may have put too much on or my lips didn't absorb it all yet)! I was eyeing this for a while and found the tint from the Goo Hye Sun/Geum Jandi make up tutorial and thought it was cute so I wanted to try it. I may consider buying the normal sized one once I use my samplers up. However, I'm not sure if this colour (I tried #1 which is cherry pink, I think) suits me. I think I'm more suited to a nude or pinkish lip colour - and I may instead, try out a nude colour lipstick from Etude House or Peripera or VOV, next time!
^ Dr Jart Silver Label BB Cream which came with a free and pretty big tube of "Elva White Foam Cleanser".
This was the first thing I tested out. My camera batteries died so I can't post the before/after of it yet. Will try to get that up soon.
I actually bought this for my mum because she complained about the powder foundation she used.
Well, theres not much for me to say about this one. I don't really know much about BB Creams and I tried my luck at this one for my first BB cream purchase, due to the relatively good feedback it gets.
When I put it on my face and when the cream was absorbed by my skin, it didn't feel heavy at all, so that was great! Plus, it made my skin whiter, clearer and made my blackheads and pores relatively less visible. (I don't have bad skin to start with so I'm not sure how much of a difference it makes). BUT, when I looked closely, for some reason a few areas seemed flaky - I wasn't sure whether it was my skin (my skin = sometimes dry, oily t-zone, tiny pimples prone to the forehead)or the BB cream that was causing it.
Overall, I'm satisfied with this product. When my mother tried it on, there was a visible difference in the appearance - she tried it on one half of her face and it looked whiter, less wrinkly and her pores weren't as visible.
We'll keep using this BB cream and see how it goes in a few weeks. I will be purchasing some more (the same Dr Jart brand and most likely will try other brands too - probably Hanskin or Skinfood) if my mother and I feel satisfied of it's effects (:
^ Yay freebies ♥ Came with my Tony Moly order~
Ahhh~ I'm disappointed because I didn't buy much! Figures since I'm a poor high school student. Maybe once I get a part time job I'll be able to waste more money (hey! thats not a good thing haha!). No, but all in all, this was a relatively okay haul. Nothing beats buying the actual products in store and trying before buying though! A pity we can't get these products for the same (cheaper) price here in Australia! Maybe when I go to Korea on vacation one day lol! (I hope I'll be able to find some nice cosmetics and clothing in Hong Kong though~)
Alright, since I have this out of the way, I have to concentrate on studying!

Waiting game #1
Alrighty~ So yesterday I went to look at formal dresses. I tried on quite a few, most looked 'bleh' on me. I cringed everytime I tried on a dress that didn't flatter my body - my upper body is bigger than my lower half/legs so that didn't really give a pleasing sight. I must remind myself to lose some arm flabs - it really doesn't look good.
The first dress - which was between knee to mid-thigh length, creamy and strapless was the one that looked best on me. Price was around $70. Sweet and cheap. Going back there today-ish to buy it (:
When I returned home and searched around the net, looking at pretty dresses (window shopping yay!) again, I realised that the dresses look super awesome and pretty because they were being displayed on super skinny models. I want the dress, but can I pull it off? Naw, prolly not lol. Oh well. *shakes fist at the skinny models*
Okay, the rest of my post will probably be pretty incoherent since this is being written as stream-of-conciousness haha.
Its also confirmed that I'm going China in December - and the morning right after my formal too! We booked the tickets yesterday (rushing from the mall to cabra, where my relatives were booking the tickets). It was all-over the place. Mum couldn't find parking, we were told we had to provide passport photos for the visa forms and had to go take them... Well at least they were better then the chatty-ass photos that I took at the plaza - the man actually took several photos and the lighting was heaps better.
Well yeah. That was yesterday.
Anyhow, I checked gmarket this morning and it looks like the order is being shipped out and I should get it sometime next week~
Haha, the shipping was such a big miscalculation though. Oh well, no worries because the difference in money is deposited back into the account!
Estimated weight was 4.90 kg ----- > Real weight was 0.88 kg - not even 1 kg lol!
Frack. Must get back to studying. 10-ish days before the big exams which shall determine my future!

Gmarket top blogger~
Oh gosh! I've become a gmarket top blogger, very interesting! My bro just told me this morning that he got a 50,000 won coupon in his inbox, accompanied with a "kekekek I'm gonna use it". I had a sneaking suspicion it was for me =P Mine, mine, mine!! Fine, I'll see what I can do with it, maybe we can go half-half somehow?
Ahahah, you know what? Its a pity it came after I just ordered from gmarket yesterday lol!
But anyhow, a BIG THANK YOU to gmarket ♥
Check out the other top blogs! They're awesome and it's great to see people from around the world using gmarket. ♥ gmarket. Theres so many awesome things on it. Plus I think it's great on gmarket's behalf for giving prizes, vouchers and coupons away, especially to their customers in general and thsoe that blog about their products and review their buys.

It's been a while!
The past two weeks for me have been very hectic. And I've graduated high school!
However, there are still the exams to go, so I must study.
Besides forgetting to wake up this morning to bid on a pair of lovely vintage opera gloves (Audrey Hepburn style!) on ebay and going into a state of depression and rage (I'm exagerating)
for a few minutes...
Heres the roundup for the past week or two: we messed/bludge at school alot, water gun fun, Carnivale (fun, fun!), graduation, (free) dinner with senior SRC and school executives after grad, year 12 concert and the picnic day on Friday, and a stupid lil 'after' picnic get-together haha! For the picnic day, we went to the beach, took heaps of photos and messed around, which was heaps of fun (photos uploaded on FB :3).
How do I feel about graduating? Happy and sad at the same time. Happy for obvious reasons and sad because I'll miss those good ol high school days of hanging with my friends at lunch, then theres the classes, teachers and the library ):
Those days are in my past now and I can only head forward. I wonder whats in store for me.
On a happier (or wallet-related) note, I finally ordered off gmarket. I contemplated getting a blusher, but I'll go to the shops for that. I ordered Dr Jart Silver Label BB Cream, Tony Moly samplers, eyelash curler and brown-coloured eye liner.
So I guess I'll be waiting for that to come in the mail! Argh. Shipping is expensive. This leaves a huge chunk in my already empty wallet! (I owe my bro money :/ Must get job after exams!). Hmmm, then I also need to shelve out money for my formal dress, shoes, clutch, accesories and gloves (yes! I want to be unique on that night!). I shall commence looking for my dress either during these holidays if I can spare time (of course I can :P) from studying or after the exams.
