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!
