yeah anyway, as you might know i've been reconsidering some decisions i made in the beginning of this blog, and lately, i've figured that while i love gyaru fashion, my lifestyle doesn't allow for the luxury of putting on layers of makeup every morning.
OK, NO I AM NOT DEDICATED ENOUGH TO WAKE UP 2 HOURS EARLY TO SLAP SOME MAKEUP ON MY FACE.
you know what i'm dedicated to? Liquifying.
And blogging about random crap that happens every day.
k, maybe i'm not that dedicated to the every day bit of the second one. But i do love blogging. INFLICTING MY OPINIONS ON THE WORLD LIKE JOHN WATSON A LA SHERLOCK (BBC). Minus the psychosomatic limp and PTSD, but you get the idea.
I feel the need to clarify WHY i'm focusing mostly on the makeup aspect so much. When wearing circle lenses with minimal makeup, i find that they don't cause any problems at all. nil, nada zilch.
But after having to turn up for work with makeup, my eyes started feeling achy and sore every night after work. After some deducin' i've concluded that this might've been caused by daily use of false lashes and eyeliner and eyeshadow.
So i guess my makeup will flip between the gyaru and ulzzang techniques.
But i love gyaru makeup, so i'm probably going to do it occasionally. Outfits? almost always. Liz Lisa is my one true love ok.
So for the time being, feel free to unfollow, but if you think the shit i post is interesting, then you'll have to get used to my makeupless/minimally make-upped face.
i like wearing circle lenses with minimal makeup, IT'S SO ULZZANG. except they're all pretty and i'm (sibei chui) not. OTL. Labels all around, gotta love netizens everywhere.
ok then, I'LL JUST BE ROLLING OFF TO BED. CAUSE IT'S 12.10 AM, AND I HAVE A PLANE TO CATCH AT 8 AM. FML.
3. ~MYSTERIOUS~ Etude House BBcream/primer thing i cannot find it on the site, so have a photo.
IT COMES OUT AS THIS SHIMMERY CREAM. SO COOL RIGHT WTF. Okay, so i read that green bases neutralise red tones, and purple bases brighten your complexion. But THIS BASE IS SHIMMERY. Not so shimmery i feel like Edward Cullen but just enough to give your skin a subtle brightness lift. It's also very light on the skin, unlike some other bases i've tried. OTL.
This might garner skepticism, but i'm just gonna say, itworked on me, my lower lashes are definitely longer and more visible, as are my upper lashes. It's probably subjective though, cause i've read reviews stating that it didn't work. Maybe it only works if you don't have much eyelashes in the first place. These were also going for 20,000 KRW per box in Korea.
If you ever get a chance to go to Baviphat, BUY THIS. IT IS CHEAP AND SMELLS SO GOOD. i think about 3000KRW? yeah. THAT PRICE, FOR A POT OF OLFACTORY PLEASING and functional lipbalm. Only downside is that i want to eat the entire pot. OTL.
I bought dark brown for this cause the black was very strong. This eyeliner delivers a strong colour as a general i think. Though it does get smudgy towards the end of the day, and you will turn into a freaking panda. NOT EVEN JOKING. I MUST'VE LOOKED RIDICULOUS ON THE MRT HOME. The brush is also a little tricky for first time users. Other than that, it's a decent eyeliner.
8. Etude House Golden Ratio Contour Maker
It is what it says it is. Colours are on the weak side, but it does the job, and comes in a very handy package.
Maybe i should've called this the Etude House and Baviphat haul post instead. And yes, makeup really is that cheap in korea. Most of the things above were purchased in either one of the 3/4/5 Etude House stores in Myeong-Dong and cost below 20,000KRW each. My mum and sister did make purchases from other stores like Holika Holika, The Saem, ETCETC TOO MANY, LAZY TO TYPE.
But i digress, yes, pictures are very distracting. Now for the last 3 items.
I set the click through Url to the liquid Couture Couture perfume, cause i think the solid form, in the bracelet is only sold on flights. The scent is delightful. Unfortunately i'm not as good as describing scents as i am detecting them, so i cannot tell you what it smells like exact. But there are hints of sandalwood, and it's slightly sweet.
This consists of four shades of beige and brown and the harmony of these colours is fun to play around with. Only if i weren't so upset about having to brush the stamped on gold Chanel logo before using it. OTL.
Both of the above were purchased on Singapore Airlines (SIA) flights.
GET. THIS. IT IS SO GOOD I CANNOT RECCOMMEND IT MORE. It doesn't smudge, and the colour is solid, not to mention it does lengthen lashes visibly. But remove it with a stronger makeup remover cause it's kind of stubborn. For those looking for a volumizing effect, give this a miss, it only lengthens, doesn't add much or any volume to your lashes.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND, that's the end of this mini-haul post.
Taking photos of clothes i bought from korea is proving tricky because they're all packed in my luggage to head back to Melbourne. BUT I WILL, it's only a matter of time. OTL.
Will try to update again soon! So exciting wtf.
WHOEVER GETS THIS, THROW A COMMENT IN THE BOX BELOW. I will give you *~*SPESHUL*~* MENTION. AHAHHA.
Okay before i descend into a neverending spiral of insanity. GOODNIGHT.
But i love gyaru makeup, so i'm probably going to do it occasionally. Outfits? almost always. Liz Lisa is my one true love ok.
