Groupon referral link (Some of the deals featured are quite awesome!)
As a side note, I cannot be held responsible for what happens after you sign up. So far my experiences have been alright, so I hope that yours would be too.
I just wanted to share what were essential items to get from Korea for my haul.
The non-beauty items…
I love the Daiso Gift Baggies. I use them for all gifts that I give. I find that they are more expensive here. The blue and pink one is only ~$1CAN for 24, and the clear white one is ~$1CAN for 40. Steal!
I also needed new pens. I usually use 0.34 pens, and these ones are actually 0.3, just a tad thicker than what I usually use. Really don’t notice it. I can’t remember how much these guys were.
These are the beauty things I got my friend to pick up for me…
Innisfree Creamy Tint Lipstick ~10,000won
Innisfree Vivd Tint Rouge x2 ~10,000won
Etude House Soft Touch Auto Lipliner 1,000won
Skinfood Eyebrow Brush x3 2,500won
Skinfood Eyeliner Brush 3,000w
With those goodies, came samples of course…
Will look in to using them, and see. I’m excited to see how the Green Tea Cleansing Oil will work (I’m a cleansing oil nut).
Anyway, I will be posting pictures of the tints this upcoming week (I Hope! :D)
박남정 – 널 그리며
I couldn’t find a longer one, but this is part of the performance by Park Nam Jung.
I have heard this before, but never really stuck until I saw the moves…the finger thing xD
I heard it again through Running Man, and has been stuck in my head! Late 80′s Kpop, I mean can you hear those girls scream?! lol
Some things never change~
*I received this product for free from Marcelle for review purposes*
Oh man…I had meant to get this up sooner! I am so behind one the stuff I wanted to share that Marcelle has shared with me…
Anyway today I wanted to talk about the Velvety Eyeshadow + Primer.
There are 6 different colours in the line…
- Chameleon
- Mauve Obsession
- Primer Rose
- Silver Sky
- Smooth Moka
- Velvety Beige
They retail for $15.95. You can buy them online on the Marcelle website HERE
Now that that is out of the way…let’s get to the review!
This is Primer Rose
Dries pretty fast in my opinion, so if you use it, you will want to work with it quickly. Once it is dry, I actually use a cream product over it, before applying shadows. I need it to give the shadows something to grip to.
As for the 12 hour claim, I have oily skin, that is a fact that has plagued me until I found relief in UDPP. I do find that though it does last a fair amount of time, I cannot claim that the 12 hour held up for me. At 6 hours I noticed a decrease in intensity, and some fading at 8 hours. Personally as long as things last between 6-8 hours I am usually good, as I hardly stick with my makeup for longer than that.
For the swatches I did not use a cream base of the primers. It is just the primers alone.
The upper part is primed with Marcelle’s Primer, and lower part is primed with UDPP.
You can see that the Marcelle isn’t as intense as UDPP, but it does bring out the colour better than no primer at all, which you can see in the middle of the swatches horizontally. Because the product dries so quickly, I think that was one of the major causes of why it wasn’t as intense as my UDPP primer.
So what did I think?
I love Marcelle products, I do. But I cannot really come to love this one completely. First off I found it a little expensive, so though I like the soft colouring it leaves behind on the eye, I probably wouldn’t spend $16+taxes to get more. Perhaps if they were on sale for about $11. The other thing is, that with the amount of product, I probably would (and do I guess, cause I already own them and have rebought them…) buy the UDPP for the extra costs. It lasts forever, and as I said, they do grip shadows better.
However, if you are just looking for a soft wash of colour, I would say that these are something you should look in to. It feels nice as the name states, so in that sense I have no complaints.
I know the picture is blurry…it focused on my lashes lol. But look at the shimmer. Basically this is after 6 hours of wear, and this is Primer Rose under my two other shadows (actually the inner part is just Primer Rose. It isn’t actually really that white, must have been the lighting). The shimmer still looks great, without looking like I slept a night with my makeup on. So plus 1 for that :)
Wow…
I haven’t done this in awhile -___- I keep forgetting to…or I don’t have enough pictures so that I don’t think it deserves a post. But having a post lets me write more about them. So let us get going :)
I had my first burger from Zet’s! It was pretty good! But so big that I had to eat it deconstructed…meaning with a fork and knife lol In the future I really want to try their Souvlaki~ Smelt so good :)
Isn’t this cute?! This was at the Varsity Theatre display…I want one!
After a rather hellish last exam of the semester, I came home to this. Thanks again DA/Y-unni :)
This is my default meal at home lately (usually it is fried egg mixed in with rice). This is 회덮밥, which is just like Bibimbap, but with Salmon instead of meat. I usually am not a fan of veggies, but this is the one place I get more than the daily amount.
I won a giveaway! xD Still waiting for Shu Uemeura to contact me, but yay!
Got the munchies so I picked up a few random things at Walmart :)
I made my first online order with RW&CO, not too bad at all. I ended up getting sandals and shirts that were on sale~
At the Montagne Jeunesse event held by Farley. I wrote about it HERE
The masques we got from the event :) Let me just say that it does really help in eliminating the annoying clay masque wash off factor.
I went to see the Cherry Blossoms with ItsCherz. It was nice to walk through, and check out the trees. They were falling, but we still managed to find a few trees that still looked gorgeous :)
While walking in High Park, I saw these fellas. Had a good chuckle :)
Mom and I had an appointment to get our hair done, and stopped by New Generation on Bloor to have lunch. Let me just say it seems that their lunch special Udon always seems VERY salty. Mom ended up pouring her tea in to her Udon bowl. The couple beside us had the same issue and ended up asking for water. The Katsu was VERY oily…I ended up having to blot it. Usually I wouldn’t mind, but it was out of control >_<
I went to Sam Woo last week, with my mother and my dad’s sis. The food was oily, and the people who worked there kept addressing us not in English…but the food was alright.
