R--> The body shop blush + bronzer

Recently I got the blush from the Body Shop, it was free, because I got the eighth heart of the Love Your Body member card
The new membercard looks like this:

By getting the eighth heart/point you can choose a product that's worth 15 euro's, so I chose this blush.
It's from the new mineral make up line I think...
anyways, when I saw this line for the first time, I thought of the mineral line from MAC.

This blush looks like the blushes from the Grand Duo colletion. I can't say which one this blush looks like, because I don't own any blush from the Grand Duo colletion( I do own a duo mineralize blush from the Too Fabulous colletion)
If I look at the swatches from the Grand Duo colletion, this one looks a little bit like Intenso. But I'm sure it's not a dupe of it
There are 2 shades, one is more pink(probably looks like the Moon River mineralize blush from MAC)
This shade is called: Coral
The texture is soft and the color is sheer, it has a little bit of glow on it
It's actually very pretty when I look at it, and I'm sure it's also pretty on your cheeks=)

You can use the peachy color for highlighting and the pinky color just for blush

Here's the swatch...

The packaging looks cheap, but it's actually from a good quality, so if you take care of it, I think I should last till the end?

Product: 4/5
Price: 2/5
Packaging: 3/5
Buy it again?: 2/5

I also got the bronzer a few months ago, I thought I write it in the same post cuz they're both from the same line.
I remember I got the bronze because there was a 30% off discount(+10% from your love your body card) on the make up line. This one costs 8 euro's, not expensive at all!!
This one makes think of the Mineralize skinfinishes from MAC.
I do have 1 MSF from MAC, it's the MSF in Gold Deposit
It looks a little more brown than this one...
There are only 2 shades, one is darker(probably as dark as the  Gold deposit MSF) I wish they had more shades
I got the lighter shade, it's called: Warm glow

Here's the swatch of it

First I wasn't really interested in this product
But then I tried it...it's AMAZING
It added a healthy glow on my face, even my mom asked me what I've used.
after I told her what I used, she borrowed it everyday till I took it with me on vacation!

 I took this picture a while ago, just to show you how glowy your face will look like


The texture is also soft. I just use the ELF powder brush to apply it on my face.

Product: 5/5
Price: 3/5(original price is like 22 euro's)
Packaging: 1/5...(cuz the product just fell out the packaging=_=)
Buy it again?: 4/5

R-->MAC Cremesheen glass # Over indulgence

I got this cremesheen glass when I was in Korea.
We went to the biggest outlet from Korea, they have brands like COACH, GUCCI, Addidas, Nike, Lacoste etc.
But there was also a cosmetics outlet....they have brands like Bobbi Brown, Shu Uemura, Estee Lauder and MAC!!!!
I was kinda decided that I am going to buy something...
there wasn't a lot of items, most of products are from a certain collection but not sold out yet, like the eyeshadows from the style warriors collection. But there were also permanent items like the fluidline and eyeliner pencils...I don't know why they were there..

This cremesheen glass is from the Too fabulous collection that was launched in March 2010(international)
But the cremesheen glasses are permanent
I also got the Bi-tone mineralize blush from this collection, but not at the outlet store.

I can't remember how much does it cost....I thought it was around $10,- 13 euro's
much cheaper than in the netherlands even in taiwan and the US.( duuh it's an outlet, it's supposed to be cheaper.hahah)
for only $10, it's worth a try!?
I've never used cremesheen glasses before, and to be honest, I wasn't that interested in that either.
But then I got this, and I totally fell in love with it
It's not sticky at all...like the dazzlegalsses
Even it has the same packaging as the dazzleglasses, the brush is different....
The dazzleglass has lip brushes unlike the cremesheen glass. It has a hairy thing as an applicator. I perefer both, as long as it's easy to apply....

The pigmentation is great, the color on your lips looks just like the color in the glass itself.
The color is brownish, very sheer and it's not sticky at all, it stays for a couple of hours, sure 3-4 hours.

The smell is just like the "MAC smell" kinda vanilla!

Product: 5/5
Price:3/5 ( for the regular price)
Packaging:4/5
2nd? 5/5

L--> Park Bom you and I mv

it's been a long time since I did a look
I remember the last time was the look from Elva from her latest album: Diamond candy

Today I did a look that was inpired by the music video from Park Bom
She's from a Korean girls group called 2NE1
This song(You and I) is her single
After I heard this song, I totaly fell in love with it, so I decided to do a look that was inspired by her make up in this music video.

Here is the music video:

hehe...she's so pretty(whether she had plastic surgery or not, I don't care)

The focus will be on the eyeliner, her eyes are actually prettty small, she used eyeliner to make her eyes look bigger.
I did the same by filling the outer parts of my eyes with black gel-liner
also the waterline and the upper inner eyeline(invisible eyeline) have to be filled
eventhough she has long lashes, but I think it won't make any difference, because the eyeliner is already black enough, and you might won't be able to see the lashes, so I didn't focus on the eyelashes, I just put on regular mascara that I use everyday.
I just used a dark brown eyeshadow for my eyelids to make the look more focused on the eyes,,,you can use any kind of dark brown, it won't be a problem
And the base make up is also important, because you want that flawless face to make your eyes look more intense

Last but not least, the lips, she has rosy lips, and I don't xD
So I used the benefit lip plump(it's actually a lip concealer) to cover my own lip color. For the rosy lips I use the NYX roundlipstick in Fig

Base make up:
Shu Uemura UV underbase mousse SPF 30 PA+++
ENPRANI Super Aqua BB cream SPF27 PA++
ZA powder foundation #22
Artdeco Camouflage Cream
Catrice soft poweder rouge 060 Cafe au lait
MAC Mineralize blush #Bi-tone
Shiseido Majolica Majorca highlight powder #88

Eyes:
TFSI
MAC Paintpot # Bare study
Shiseido Majolica Majorca eyeshadow quad #BR751
Bobbi Brown gel liner # Black Ink
Solone magic waterproof eyepencil EL-01
MAC eyeshadow #Carbon
Shiseido Majolica Majorca mascara base
Kose Fasio hyper-stay mascara magne-plus curl volume

Lips:
Benefit lip plump
NYX roundlipstick #Fig

this look is not that dramatic, so I would definetly wear this to school or any occasions

If you have any questions about how to make this look, pleas feel free to comment below

Thanks=D

BBB--> Back to real life+ Korea trip

Hay, its been a long time "again" since I promised that I'll write a blog soon.
Life is getting better and organized than before
As you know I was on vacation for about 7 weeks, 6 weeks in Taiwan and 1 week in Korea.
I couldn't update because of many reasons, mostly because I was too busy
I could spend 12 hours outside without sitting down or getting tired
1 day I even walked on my 8cm heels trough Taipei city...can you imagine that?
well, the only thing I know is that I won't do that again
cuz the streets aren't placed well in some places in Taipei, so I fell...
after I fell, the first thing that I cared about was..."are my new high heels damaged?" and then....after I crossed the street..I noticed that my knee was bleeding xD

The week before I came back to Holland, I went to South Korea with my super young looking aunt who's already 36 xD and her friend
we went with a group, and booked via a travel site.
There were too many kids in our group, and as you know..I really "Don't like" kids
but luckly..the kids in our group were nice and well-behaved( except one little weird kid that wanted to marry my aunt xD)
The whole schedule was planned for 6 days
The first day was flying to Korea and having dinner nearby the hotel
We fly with cathay pacific from Taiwan Taoyuan International airport to Incheon International airport(The best aiport!!!)
took only 2 hours to get there, I couldn't even watch a movie~~

after we arrived there, we took the hotel shuttle bus to the hotel for unloading our bagages and then walked to the restaurant nearby the hotel.
We had squid hot fondue as dinner

Every Korean meal has to serve 4 or more small dishes like kimchi and preserved seaweed or chinese radish
our tour guide told us, usually Korean people have 2 dishes of kimchi served with rice for breakfirst, 4 dishes of kimchi serverd with rice for lunch and 6 dishes of kimchi serverd with rice..hahaha
So their meals are very simple...hot rice is even a "must need"


That night we spend the night at Best Western Hotel in Incheon

The next day, after we had our breakfirst, we took the tourbus to Nami Island...It is located in Chuncheon(mainland) but it's an island?
anyways..this island was named after general Nami

This is the entrance...
in case you're wondering why the white sheets are hanging there...
It's because Korean people believe that the white color can drive out the evil spirit. And it also has a history behind this belief.
Long time ago the first emperor of the Qin dynasty(China) heard that people of the Korean peninsula are long-lived, so he send a general(I forgot his name) to the Korean peninsula to seek for the longlife medicine.
But the general likes the Korean peninsula very much, and wanted to stay there and never go back to China.
After quite a long time, the emperor worried that the general might took the longlife pills for himself, so he send an other group of soldiers to the Korean peninsula to bring the general back.
The general got the message and had an idea....he hanged full of white sheets at the coast, because he knew that white is an unproptious color in China, people only wore white when somebody dies
So before the ship reached the coast, a soldier saw the white sheets, they knew that was a message telling them that the general has died, so they returned back to China without getting on the mainland

The story went on so overwhelmingly popular even to the present, and that's why Korean people believe "white" can drive out the evil spirit.

So that was the story behind the white sheets.
Nami Island was known because of a Korean tv drama called "winter sonata", because they have filmed there.
I haven't saw the drama yet, so I was not really interested in where they exactly have filmed.
The only nice thing about the island was the beautiful trees...wherever you took the picture, it's always beautiful

Here's a picture of me and my aunt

See how beautiful it is?

and then we took pictures with these cute little animal

 And then we went to Chuncheon to have their famous chuncheon chicken?( I don't know the exact translation of it) 춘천닭갈비
it's chicken with cabbage and Korean rice cake.
it was nice and delicious, mostly because of the spicy Korean saus

After we had lunch, we went to "greenland" the Korean spa centre

we went to the famous Korean jjimjilbang=infrared suana
it was amazing...i mean the effect was amazing...I was in there about 20 minutes, more pores are all open...I was sweating like a pig:Z but it was healthy, especally for people like me who doesn't sweat so often....

and ofcourse we had their special clothes on...I always see this outfit in Korean drama's

The next day we went the biggest outlet of Korea and then heading off to make kimchi....
I bought a pair of Nike sneakers only for 30 euro's and MAC's cremesheen gloss in "over indulgence"( I'll write about it in an other blogpost)
for people who don't know what kimchi is....kimchi is chinese cabbage preserved with salt and spice.

auntie making kimchi...what a funny face...haha

result

mine was the most beautiful....
if you see the other ones..

like these

 For lunch we had bibimbap...that is vegatables mixed with rice and egg, it's very healthy and delicious
It's the most delicious meal that I've ate in Korea
it looks like this

 The black soup is seaweed soup

 After we had lunch, we went tried on Korean traditional clothes

everybody sais that I looked like a Korean...hahahaha
should I be happy about it?

And then...most exciting schdule for the kids...EVERLAND!!!
It's a theme park with a lots of amusement facilities like merry go round, bumper cars, roller coaster and what so ever. It even has its own zoo, we've visited there in a tour bus.

 We had so much fun there, and everybody was exhausted in the bus.

 The next day morning we went to the Suwon hwaseong fortress, its a wall that surrounds the centre of Suwon.

After that we went to Cheongwadae and Gyeongbokgung.
Cheongwadae is the presidential palace of South Korea, and Gyeongbokgung is the palace and it's located near the Cheongwadae..

 a lot of history makes me feel a little bit heavy-laden. But the next schedule totaly cought my mind...because...we are going to Dongdaemun!!! It's the biggest shopping centre in Seoul...it opens from 10:30 AM-05:30 AM!!!! See how that cought my mind? hahahaha

Ofcourse I bought a lot of clothes...well not a lot after I came back...
cuz I only got 4 pieces of clothes and I gave 2 away after I came back from Korea
But I'm sure..If I ever have the chance to live there, I'll definetily go there every week for shopping....cuz it;s the worlds best shopping palace!!! hahaha

Well. time is passing by every quick...we're about to go home..
our last day in Korea was okay but nice!
First we went to Seoul tower and teddy bear museum
we had so much fun n the teddy bear museum...
the teddy bears are sooo cute=D

 And then we went to the cookin' Nanta show
Here's a preview of it
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XQ-hFrhE_Q

Last but not least.....
The woman street nearby the Ewha Womens university
I bought alot of masks at the Baviphat store, it's a Korean brand of skincare and make up.
AND I finally had the traditional tteok-ppok-kki, it's spicy Korean rice cake
I dreamed to eat it for YEARS.,,,now my dream finally comes true...yummy it;s so delicious

 I think that's about it....
I had fun in Korea...
This trip makes me want to live in Korea and learn the Korean language..
I don't know why I have this obsession with KOREA...
maybe I'll figure it out some day...maybe I was a Korean in my past life?
Ooh god,,,pls let me meet some Korean hot guy, so I can marry him and move to Korea for good...hahhaha
okay just kidding...that's just an imagination and a weird dream of mine!!

Enough about Korea....

Today,
I had this meeting with a teacher from the Free university Amsterdam for admission
And I passed it....so I'm going to the university for sure!!!hahaha
