August Beauty Favorites!




Hello ladies!
Long time no talk! I know I keep promising and quite honestly I am also tired of promising and promising and never actually stepping through. But anyways just wanted to show some of my favorite Summer products this 2012.
This summer has been a really long one for me. I was in Mexico for 3 months and then traveled to Korea. That is the reason I have not been blogging or recording. I am currently at a study abroad program in South Korea just so that I can learn the language. It has been so fun!!!
Anyways, because I have been in Korea for a month already some of my products are definitely Korean beauty products, but you can always find them online if interested.




My backpack: I bought this at Ide. Really close to the Ehwa Womens University here in Seoul and it has definitely been a savior to my back. I actually have not carried a backpack since middle school, but since in Korea I walk a lot a purse is just out of the question.
 


Shiseido Bio- Performance:
If you know me or if you have seen my videos the thing that probably stands out the most are my dark circles. I am pretty sure there is no cure for them yet, but using an eyecream everynight really helps to avoid looking like a panda in the morning. And of course a good concealer. LOL






Hanskin Light Touch BB cream:
This BB cream is amazing. I simply love how it is not too creamy and dense like other bb creams and it just glides on my skin. I still like to use it with a moisturizer underneath because of my dry skin. I recommend this mostly for combination skin. This was perfect for me this summer since the weather in Korea is just so humid!! Arghh.. but its cooling down now. Whenever it comes to skin I would prefer to spend a little more money because we only have one skin, and if you put cheap chemicals on it the consequences are severe in the future. So treat your skin well:)

Banila Co. Contour Brush: I hadn't really heard or bought any of their products but I am really impressed with it. It reminds me of Benefit Cosmetics (Probably founded on the same idea). This contour brush is amazing because the bristles are really soft and this works amazing for contouring.



Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream: I finished my Clinique Moisturizer what was perfect for winter and spring. This face cream is so much lighter than Clinique's one, but definitely perfect for my dry skin. It was the perfect amount of moisture throughout the day without being too heavy for summer.




Etude Cookie Blusher:

Such amazing blushes I am not even kidding and for the price it is truly amazing I really like both but my absolute fave is Grapefruit Jelly.
