Get to know me tag

Hi guys!

I was going around the blogosphere and I came across Lisa's blog (check it out here) and she did this tag, and I would do one too ^_^

1. Are you named after anyone?
  I don't think so

2. When was the last time you cried?
 I don't remember from the top of my head, but it was definitely from watching a drama. For some reason whenever there is a character that cries, tears automatically build up...

3. Do you have kids?
 Nope, too young for kids but will hope to have them in the future ^_^

4. If you were another person, would you be friends with yourself?
 Honestly... probably not... I find that I can be quite awkward to be with, but once I know a person for a long time, I feel more comfortable with them... quite antisocial...

5. Do you use sarcasm a lot?
 There wouldn't be a day where I don't use sarcasm

6. Will you ever bungee jump?
 Even though I'm scared shitless from heights ( I get scared just from standing on a stool) it's definitely on my "things to do before I die" list

7. What's your favourite breakfast cereal?
 I'm not a very breakfast...y person so I don't eat cereal. I honestly don't remember the last time I had cereal

8. What's the first thing you notice about people?
 Their clothes

9. What's you eye colour?
Dark brown

10. Scary movie or happy endings?
 Don't mind both

11. Favourite smells?
 Don't really have one...

12. Summer or winter?
 Summer, I get cold really easily...

RANDOM FACT: people that are born in summer grow more than those that are born in winter because they get more vitamin D.

13. Computer or television?
 Definitely computer! I don't watch TV anymore

14. What's the furthest you've ever been from home?
 South Korea!! Besides home, it's my favourite place in the world!!

15. Do you have any special talents?
 Hm... I have this weird thing where I can position my bones in my thumb and move it around to make cracking sounds

16. Where were you born?
 Melbourne, Victoria, Australia

17. What are your hobbies?
 The usual I guess... watching dramas, listening to music. I occasionally read books, but I can never find a book I can REALLY get into

18. Do you have any pets?
 Nope, but I would love to own a dog! My parents never allowed me to have pets T_T

19. Favourite movie? 
 Not Korean: Rush our (all), Harry Potter (all), She's the man +more
Korean: A millionares first love (that;s what got me into Korean stuff)

20. Do you have any siblings?
 One younger brother

21. What do you want to do when you grow up?
 My current dream: teach english in korea OR become a make-up artist
 Reality: no idea, I like to just go with the flow

That's folks! If you have done this tag, then please leave a link in the comments! I would love to read them ^_^

Review: Etude House Shini Star B.B Cream

Hi guys!

This review is going to be on the Etude House Shini Star B.B Cream, which I mentioned in my G-Market Haul. 

Honestly the reason I got this was because SHINee was promoting this product and I wanted it to have it ^_^ but when I actually gave this a go, it really surprised me! It covered my redness really well and evens out the skin tone great! It has a slightly matte finish to it so I would imagine this to be nice for those who have normal/slightly oily skin. This does have a slight floral scent to it, but not noticeable when applying on the face. 

This product claims to have whitening products, but I haven't really seen any lightening of scars. 

blended

Pros:
- covers redness well
- slightly matte finish
- reduces the looks of pores
- has a pump
- has SPF 20/ PA++
- super cute packaging
- looks good for about 5 hours 

Cons:
- doesn't come with a lot of product compared to other B.B creams (only 30ml)
- only comes in 1 shade
- can look shiny after 5 hours

Would I repurchase this? definitely! As of right now, I think this is the best B.B cream I own and have tried. I use this pretty much everyday and I love this to bits!

K Talk: Top 5 songs played on repeat

Hi guys!

Today I wanted to share with you all what I've been listening to non stop as of today. 

1. U-KISS  -  Stop girl
 This song is definitely one of the top songs of the year! I've been a fan of U-KISS for years and this is one of my favourite songs from them. I think they are very under-rated when it comes to boy-bands. They've been out since 2008 (I think) but for some reason, they aren't as popular as other groups that have just come out (eg. INFINITE, C.N Blue). This song has an RNB sound to it and the chorus is super catchy! and not to mention how good looking they are in the music video! (especially Eli <3) Check out their music video here.

2. Secret  -  Calling U
 I'm not a big fan of girl groups, and Secret is no exception. I randomly decided to check out some the other day and this song has been on repeat ever since I heard it. It's catchy but isn't really an up-beat song. Don't have much to say, but it's a nice song. Check out their live performance on M-Countdown here.

3. D-Unit  -  I'm Missing You
 Another song that caught my attention. Again, not much to say about this song but the first time I heard this song, it was on repeat for 3 days (no joke). Check out the music video here.

4. F(x)  -  Electric Shock
 I really like this song, and even though this came out a while ago, it still gets stuck in my head. It's super catchy and up-beat! If you haven't already, check out the music video here.

5. TVXQ  -  Catch Me
 Of course I had to add this in, since I'm TVXQ bias. Honestly, I have mixed feelings about this song. I'm not really a big fan of techno/ electric sounds and this song is full of it, but I love the singing bits and the chorus is catchy. If TVXQ wasn't the group to come out with this song, then I probably wouldn't like this song. This came out at 12pm (korean time) and I looked around online the minute the song came out. Will definitely buy the album once I see it in stores! Since the music video hasn't come out yet and there;s no official audio link, check out the teaser here. 


Side note* 
If you haven't noticed yet, I'm SUPER S.M bias. Most of my favourite groups are from S.M Entertainment. 

For more Korean talk, check out EATYOURKIMCHI. It's run by a married couple from Canada, Simon and Martina. They live in South Korea and are full time bloggers. They talk all KPOP and all thing related to Korean Culture. Please support them by watching their videos! 

That's all for this post. Hope to see ya all soon!

Review: Etude House Goodbye Pore-Ever Pore Primer Essence

Hi guys!

So here is my review on Etude House Goodbye Pore-Ever Pore Primer Essence, which I mentioned in my G-Market Haul.

What it claims:

Moisturising make-up primer masks pores to subdue sebum and improve make-up coverage

Directions: 

Dispense onto hands and apply directly to visible pores.

This does what it says! It covers pores and smooths any bumps and makes foundation look and feel a lot smoother. I apply this in between my brows, areas around my nose and chin. it makes my B.B cream last a little bit longer than without the primer. I didn't notice any difference when it came to oil control, so those with extremely oily skin might want to avoid this product. This works great on dry skin though! Sometimes I would get dry patches on the sides of my mouth and the primer smooths it out so the B.B cream/ foundation doesn't look so cakey. 

Pros:

- minimises the look of pores

- smooths the surface of the skin for a better and easier make-up application

- slight vanilla/floral smell

- doesn't dry out the skin

- cute packaging

- comes with a lot of product (20ml)

Cons

- might not control oil

- can be hard to find 

Overall, I would recommend this to those with normal/dry skin that want a basic primer.

Nails of the week

Hi guys! 

Here is my nails of the week.

The Face Shop polish in OR205

This colour is a pink/orange/coral colour and it's super colourful for the spring season. The colour came out a lot darker on the nails compared to the bottle, but still a flattering colour. 2 coats was enough and surprisingly dried quickly.
