The cold

Caught a cold and fever. Will try to upload reviews once I've recovered.

A few days ago though, I tried the VOV lipstick in 104 with my Yves Saint Laurent lip palette and Lancome juicy wear gloss - it looks like the VOV lipstick isn't that useless afterall. With blending it can look decent (on me) and take on an appearance similar to that of the advertised image. I just wished I had a better camera to take a photo of the effect I had created - my digicam can't captured a high quality, detailed photograph!

Gmarket buys #3

Alright, time to post about the mini gmarket make up haul. Firstly, in this batch I bought for myself the VOV showcase ball-on-cheek blush and two Girl Lips lipstick in colours 104. Berry Cherry and 102. Oz Rose. And I also got the Etude House Lip tint and tear drop liner for my friend. First, my friend's things out of the way...

Showcase~

The packaging is really cute and the blush has a nice sweet scent to it, though some people may not like it.

And I must note - photos really do make a (smaller) product look bigger! I was surprised by how small they were in real life!

The VOV lipstick in colour 104 really disappoints me though. The colour on the lips looks almost nothing like the image they showed for it (check previous, previous blog post). But what was I kidding lol? After contemplating, I think in order to achieve that effect, you don't just slab the lisptick on, but you have to blend it with a lighter colour on the outside. I'll experiment with it later and see how it goes.

This is just a showcase of my buys so I'll post up proper reviews for these products soon (and I still need to post a proper review for the bb cream and Tony Moly lip tint...)

It came!

Alright, my gmarket order came.

I just gotta say - I'm a little disappointed with the VOV lipsticks I received. Especially with colour 104 (see previous blog post).

I'll do a review of it tomorrow since I just came back from a day full of walking and (window) shopping and I need my rest lol.

Waiting game #2

Alright~ I ordered from gmarket two days ago and I think the package will definitely come next week.

I ordered two VOV lipsticks in the colors 104 and 102. BUT I want the whole collection! The VOV Showcase Girl Lips isn't really new, but they did release three new colours recently. I was tossing over to get 102 or 601 or the new 602!!! Plus I wanted the Showcase lipgloss that came in a set of three (but I didn't end up getting it!). When I get these items and they fulfil my expectations, I'll probably get the other colours I've been eyeing as well. I also need lip concealer and eye concealer as well! So pretttttyyyy!!!

I think I ordered the VOV Showcase Ball-on-Cheek blusher as well in colour #3. I cannot read Korean and I don't know what colour #3 looks like. I initially thought that since the drop down menu for the blusher was just on the Bebe Pink colour on default, but I think I am most likely wrong. So, I probably ordered some other colour/item!!! Whoops haha. Well fingers crossed that whatever I ordered is something nice and cute anyway!

I also ordered the Etude House Lip Tint in colour #1 and the Tear Drop (Eye) Liner for my friend. And after seeing a review of the lip tint over here I wish I had bought some for myself as well because it looks really pretty - in fact better and easier to apply than the Tony Moly Lip Tint!!! And that reminds me, I should get around to posting a proper review of the TM lip tint and the Dr Jart BB cream soon...

But anyway, gotta try to get to studying. After this upcoming Wednesday, I'll be free from exams and high school so I should have some time to blog some more.

Facemask review #1

Since I haven't been posting anything because of exams (I really should be studying though...) and I have a break before my next two (last) exams, I thought I might as well do a new post.

A review of sorts of the Tony Moly Pomegranate Face Mask Sheet Pack from the previous batch.



So I don't usually use face masks but I wanted to make use of these since it would be a waste if I didn't. I put it on for 15~20 minutes and here is what I felt from using it:

♥ It was cooling (which was nice since yesterday was boiling! At a november high of almost 40 degrees celcius!)

♥ It had a sweet smell, sort of fruity - probably like a pomegranate fruit, but then again I've never actually tasted or smelt a pomegranate in real life! (Though after a while, it smelt a bit weird.... Maybe it was because I sneezed twice? Eww, I know ahahaha!)

♥ My face felt tighter and moisturised when it was on my face. Well duh, I should say, it is a face mask after all. The area of the face mask above my upper lip was sucked dry because that area of my skin is the driest and it absorbed all the moisture on the sheet haha!

♥ Face looked somewhat a bit brighter, moisturised, less dry.

♥ The face mask sheet itself was soaked with moisture so it didn't dry up at all in the process (except for the part above my upper lip lol! I wonder why that area of my skin is so dry u_u)

Will I use it again? Yes. I might actually buy a bunch in the future and see the effects on the long term. I haven't actually used it long enough to consider how effective it is, so I guess theres more work for me to do in the future.

In other news, I don't know if I should continuially waste my money when I know how poor I am, but I think I will actually get the VOV lipsticks I've been eyeing for a while.
