The Ten Day YOU Challenge: Day 1

I just found this in the blog world so I really want to do it for ten consecutive days.

Day 1 is Ten secrets:

1. I am a cry baby. What? Yes I am such a cryer that if it depended on me to spill tears for the world to be hydrated no one would be thirsty ever. Okay. Maybe I over exagerate, but I am just a very sensitive person even though I have a very tough skin. I cry in movies, books, stories, fights, etc.

2. Apparently, I like to chew when I sleep. I do not know what I am chewing, but I am chewing and everyone who has seen me sleep mentions it the next day.

3. I am very motherly. People peg me to be very independent, crazy or weird. Never motherly.

4. I have been hurt by so many friends. I don't believe in friendship. WHAT? Yes, that is a long story.

5. I have studied in 7 different schools in my whole life.

6. I tilt my head when typing. Yes I do it a lot. Yes, I am doing it right at this moment. LOL

7. My nail beds are really strong

8. I overthink things.

9. I am deadly scared of earthquakes or Tsunamis. Scared to death.

10. I cannot drink milk. I hate it.

Jessica Alba: Golden Globes

Last year this time was when I started my blog. One of my first post was actually on all the Golden Globes fashion. I love watching these award shows because every celebrity dresses up and it basically becomes a war of who is wearing what best. I do not want to do a in depth look on who my favorite celebrities were. I just want to focus on one person only.

The godess of beauty, she is so pretty, that it is so unfair for us. This is one of my favorite celebrities Jessica Alba. She is a beautiful mother and actress who looked fiiinee on the award shows. Lesbihonest, who does not have a girl crush on her?

I want to start with her makeup. Jessica is wearing very simple makeup on the eyes. Probably a brown palette and bronzer. Her main focus was on the lips with a Orange- Red lipstick that makes her face glow and her dress too. She usually always goes for simple makeup which I love, but in this case she had to so she would not overpower that gorgeous jewelry she has on her neck..

I do not think she could have picked a better dress than this one. I love the salmon mermaid-esque dress she is waring and it looks overall great on her body.

So Jelly.

Who was your favorite celebrity on the red carpet?

Current Skincare Routine: Winter 2013

Hi Everyone!

How was your weekend?

Mine was really bad actually. On Friday I woke up and was feeling really drowsy  I did not understand why so I just stayed in bed all day long. At night, I finally got some energy to go get some dinner with my boyfriend. We had suundubujigue a very traditional Korean dish. On Saturday, I felt so much better went to the gym, and then my bf and I had plans with my cousin to go to dinner for Sunde(Korean Street sausage). Apparently she was with a really bad cold which transferred to my body like a sticky note. On Sunday I woke up bad again, but it got even worse. I had a runny nose, fever, and was not feeling at all well. My boyfriend ended up taking care of me. To top it off, I puked in the middle of the night. So it was not a good weekend after all. How about YOUR weekend? Was it better than mine? I really hope it was because being sick specially on weekends suck.

Anyways, to move on from the chit chat I want to mention some amazing products I have been using for winter,and essentially my winter skincare routine.

Disclaimer: I want to let you guys know that my skin type is dry- very dry skin. During summer it becomes normal but not completely. I mention this because products that may work for me, may not work for you. I have also tried products and researched them on other bloggers who I know for a fact have oily or combination skin.

Cleanser:

I am still using my Avene Milk Cleanser. It is a good overall face wash for dry skin. However I have been using a new cleanser which is an oil based cleanser. This is the Innisfree Green tea Oil Cleanser. It is Amazing for really dry skin, it is very moisturizing while cleansing and not too thick to the point where your pores can not breath and you find that there is a lot of oily residue left. Unfortunately, this is going to be hard for me to get once I go back to NY so I am really sad, and will have to find a dupe or sneak 3 or 4 bottles in my luggage.

Moisturizer:

Moisturizers, or in my case, my skin best friend are an absolute must for me. I would probably not survive winter if this product did not exist. 

My current most used moisturizer is the Clinique Moisture Surge Intense. Do you see why I highlight the intense? Because I also have the Clinique Moisture Surge, but they are nothing alike really. My boyfriend who has really combination to oily skin loves to use this during winter, but when he tried my Moisture Surge Intense he said that he felt he had a mask on. On my skin, this moisturizer works wonders because it absorbs it really quickly and it is heavy enough to keep me moisturized during a full day or full night.

Use: Everyday and every night 

Scrub

Scrub is really important for everyone, but it becomes extra important for me during winter because of my dry skin. I have not tried more than two scrubs, but I really like L'occitane's Cream scrub, because it feels creamy and not overpowering. I love the consistency and how it does not peel my sensitive skin.

Use: 2 to 3 times a Week depending on how patchy my skin feels.

Essence:

Essence are really popular in Korea right now. It is really similar to a toner but with a slightly more like a serum. It is packed with all types of vitamins that are good for your skin and I am all about that. 

I am currently using the SKII Essence. And it does a good job at purifying and toning my skin. I am not THAT impressed as I wished because of the price, and I feel like there are so much better ones.

Use: Before moisturizer at night.

Face Makeup Remover:

I have not heard one person use this product and not love it. The Bioderma Solution Micellaire is AMAZING and I love using this after cleansing my face with water. It removes any soap that may have stayed from before and soothes my skin. It has won multiple awards in Korea as best makeup  remover and a lot of bloggers and youtubers rave about it.

Best of 2012: Beauty

Hello everyone!

This is a video I posted several days ago and I wanted to do a very in depth review of each and one of them in my blog. It is very hard for me to find time to sit down and write, but honestly makeup is a passion of mine and I feel like this blog is a way for me to at least put my toes inside the industry. Its not about companies contacting me or anything it is just my way of discovering if this is truly who I want to be, professionally, of course. Anyways, I want to put a disclaimer that the products I mention are truly and sincerely the best products I have tried in 2012 and will continue to use in this new year.

Disclaimer: I want to let you guys know that my skin type is dry- very dry skin. During summer it becomes normal but not completely. I mention this because products that may work for me, may not work for you. I have also tried products and researched them on other bloggers who I know for a fact have oily or combination skin.

BB Cream:

For BB cream, or Blemish Balm I chose Banila Co. BB cream. It is almost impossible to know which bb cream suits you best with so many different brands that carry  lines and types of bb creams that it is near to impossible to find one that will suit you. I found this one through this tv program called Get it beauty and they were mentioning the best of bb creams and ranking them. The number one bb cream according to them was Tony Moly bbcream, so I immediately ran out to buy it. I have to say it was a good bb cream but I feel like it didn't give enough coverage and moisture which is what I look for in all my products. I then bought Let me touched (weird name right? lol) and the kind of moussy, but creamy texture just captured my attention and loved immediately.

Reasons I love:
-Very moisturizing
- To get glowing and dewy skin
- Medium to full coverage
- Stays all day

Cons:
- Pricey in comparison to other bb creams

Concealer:

Concealer is honestly my bestie. I have panda eyes if not for concealer. It is so sad that when I do not wear concealer everyone ask me if I'm okay because I look really tired. Sad. I know. LOL

Erase Paste:

Reasons I love:
-It is a salmony color (Salmon- Orange- Yellow cancel out Purple and blue) I could do a whole other post on this.
- Full coverage

Cons:
- Again the price
- It is kind of sticky, but if you use an eyecream its gonna be easier to blend

Reasons I love:
- Compact and easy to use
- Easy to blend
- Moisturizing

Highlight:

Soft and Gentle-MAC

-Can use in different parts of face (cupids bow, cheekbones, eyeshadow, nose)
- A lot of product

Cons:
- Since I purchased this in Korea I would say the price is really high.
