Have you heard of 2NE1?

This was the most normal like cover picture I could find, I'm not a big fan of Crazy, over the edge unique, Sorry 2NE1 Fans!

They are group sings make of 4 girls. They are Hip Hop girl group with powerful sound and music. They all have unique fashion type that is unique as in Lady Gaga unique but I feel this cream does not relate really to their performance.

Secret Whitening Cream has whitening ability, if you are girls who wished their skin was whiter this is the product you want.

If this whitening cream makes your skin white, it must be full of chemical, not good for sensitive skin.
Nope, this product is special because of it's natural ingredients that even sensitive skin could use it.

[Korean Makeup Blog/ Tony Moly] Luminous Goddness Aura BB Cream, SPF 37 PA ++ & Aura Beam

Tony Moly brand's Luminous Goddness Aura BB Cream, SPF 37 PA ++ & Aura Beam

I'm proud to say. one of the best cosmetic product is BB cream in Korea. Many wrote in their review "I'm not a fan of BB cream until I tried this Korean Cosmetic BB cream"

Well, I like BB cream as well, make the makeup much, much easier.

Today I'm going to introduce you to a  BB cream Tony Moly brought out this spring. This BB cream has give a glow to your skin. Making your skin look like model skin. Time to apply and go for a photo shoot!

There is two product
BB cream & BB cream Aura Beam.

First BB cream Aura Beam

you can see the pearl!

This BB cream give your skin the healthy glow + moist protector layer + hides Corneous + Long lasting.
This BB cream has little pearl to it making the smooth skin sparkle!
You can't ignore the natural materials like walnut oil, Brazil nut seed oil, cucumber, etc. helps your skin be less harmed by all the chemical makeup you've put on.

If you see the pearl although you can see the soild square it's not big enough for anyone to see when you apply it on your skin. Just give a stronger reflects of light.

This product give like you've applied oil on your skin. Not a very refreshing feeling like most Korean cosmetics. However the oil texture makes it more absorbent and last longer.

This is what it's like on your skin!

BB cream

Moisty + Covers all your dark spots + calms your irritated skin + protects you from ultra rays in one product!
Really for a lazy cat like me this product is a must have. Also I hate having to apply this and that feels like you have a some kind of mask on.
Just like the Aura Beam it has all the natural oil to keep your skin protected from getting old from all the chemical.

Tony Moly BB cream is lighter in color than other products. This is advantage because it give your skin a light tone and also more healthy brighter.

You don't need a log of the cream to cover your face. Because even little drops can easily spread through large part of your skin.


Now All you need to do it mix these two up to give your skin the front page model skin!

This is what it looks like when applied

Korean Cosmetics, Kim Jung Moon Aloe Luxary Timeless Golden Age Blancing Set, All the Most you need

This is "Kim Jung Moon Aloe Luxary Timeless Golden Age Blancing Set"

Having their own patent skills using aloe makes this product special.

I'm Aloe :)

If you don't know what Aloe is good for your skin, you should know. Aloe is a desert plant  but has so much moist. Most used in healing scares and anti-bacteria, it's also good for any reddish skin, such as acne, black head, white head. It also strengthen your muscle so tighten your wrinkled skin.

This product uses 100% Aloe so it is obviously good for your skin.

The skin and anti-aging look the same and is the same pumping type. However the skin is very observant clear color while the anti-aging is milky colored every moist lotion type. Anti-aging has bit of stickiness to it but has a lot of moist so that it smoothly applied on to your skin.

Than there is the Day cream and Night cream.

It's more of a jelly like but has a lot of moist just what your skin needs.

There was bit of sparkles inside this cream.

Overall it has all the moist your skin ever needs and have dense quality of materials

Lady Gaga Fame Perfume!

Lady Gaga Perfume!

I find this product quiet interesting. It has the design that is like Lady Gaga.

Lid is like the claws that Lady Gaga often wear

The black makes it very sexy and gives a corrupt atmosphere.

Since this perfume is black I advice you not to use it on white clothes.

Caolion Mool Pool Skin & Lotion & Cleanser

Caolion brand have brought out a product not one we but our skin will love. Mool Pool package is product that take out all the alcohol  dye, parabens and other 10~15 chemicals that harm our skin. Also this product is good for sensitive skin who few days of full makeup cause acne because there is no Commodore Hygienic to cause it.

This makeup product have carefully selected water. You might just ignore it, but its the water that mixes all the product's material and what your skin absorb.

This product uses Purified Water and uses fruits like Plums Wed to clean your skin.

First, I'll show you the cleanser, this cleanser is certified in steeping into your moles and clean out all the dirt off your skin and also protects it. see how well makeup erased? However lipstick and eyeliner needs extra rubbing or what I would suggest is use point makeup remover.

The skin product is really good at fast absorbing and you won't feel the stickiness at all.

Same goes for lotion.

Overall I like this product for the makeup base.

Where to Visit in KOREA Myeongdong Part 3

Another Place to visit in Myeong Dong

Is Young Plaza!

There is lot of small shop but some times you just want to get out of the street and see what's new in the mall.

It's newly made so enjoy the clean walls when you can!

Where to Visit in KOREA Myeongdong Part 2

Welcome to Myeong Dong.

Here's a Map of the place I'm going to introduce to you today.

Once out of the gate (go through gate 5 or 8) follow the map and you'll see.

First Catholic Church ever. It is beautiful and try not to disturb the church on Sunday or special Catholic days.

It's pretty and really calms you.

If you have been to European Catholic churches this church might feel boring however be proud because you've came to one of the most important historical event in Korea.

In hard time faith have been a light to Korean and has changed our point of view and thoughts and led to great development and changes.

Where to Visit in KOREA Myeongdong Part 1

Well, when visiting Korea you wouldn't want to just shop, it's time to eat and go sightseeing.
So, I'll be introduce you places around soul and places around.

To new comers you must understand this tourism business is new in Korea, however suddenly with growing interest in K pop so many tourist comes to visit. If you are not a great planner (Like I am) you should find a tourist who is, because finding a place to stay and finding places to visit may not be easy as you think. We should just hope Korea will invest more in tourism so it would be easier to visit.

Today I'll be introducing Myeongdong, not only it is a place to shop cosmetics its a place with food and the first Catholic church the Myeongdong Chapel.

Well, getting there for tourist using the subway will be best if you are short in budget. Believe me taxi can be costly.

So this part of the writing I'll be helping you how to use the subway.

Well to find a sub way find something like this:

See this sign? top is yellow and there is the round color(it's bright blue in this picture) of the rail number and the white letters are the subway name in Korean.

Well if you see one of this, YAY! you found the subway. go down stairs and you'll see a maze, some place there is a big mall inside the subway making it even more harder to find the place to get on the subway.

When you get down there find this machine!

This machine has english. click on english than clikc on the Left side orange button than find Myeongdong. Give the machine your money (the machine will greedy suck your cash) than a ticket will come out. you'll need it and after you arive at your station you can return it and receve back 500won.

Well, time to get on the subway.

Remember go through green doors and put the card on the sensors on the right. The sensors shape can be different between station but remember your card goes on the right.

You come out the same way.
Now you are at Myeong Dong.

HOW TO KEEP YOUR NAILS ON LONGER

HOW TO KEEP YOUR NAIL ON LONGER

After busy day no matter how much you keep your hand clean after 3 days it will start to crack and slowly disappear. Some will erase it color in new one, others will just leave the thing one.... even though it looks ugly.

Well to get this problems fixed. There are 5 ways.

1. use plastic nails or use stickers. Obviously because it last longer

2. Okay I'm sorry if you were expecting something more. Well other than stickers you could try using sparkle glitter nail polish.
The dirty looking nails could be easily covered with this. This is emergency use only.

3.There is a reason for girl in movie carrying blocks around.
You can use block to clean out the cracked nails and you can recolor on top of it. Or you can also use this for your long spirder nails.

4. USE OIL!
Okay not just any oil but nail cure oil. You must keep your fingers and nails moist. Because when your cracking skin starts to fall off so does your nails.

5. Base + Top coat
I like Nano base coat and OPI Rapidry Topcoat product
These act as shield for your newly colored nails. However it take at least 48 hours to dry. After that apply it one more time.

I know keeping your hand pretty is never easy.

Tony Moly Backstage Duo Face Maker. Product Intro

Tony Moly Backstage Duo Face Maker.

This product has three types.

(Pink Brown) (Gold Brown) (Peach Pink)

There is quite a big mirror but no brush is provided.
one side is the highlighter applied on your T zone and under your eyes and the chin. Other side is the shadow you use it to make the color difference less.

The Shadow part has a less pearl mixed into it. I think it's to better conceal.

It's kinda heavy but I believe you could use this after you finished your makeup applying all over you face to give a shine to your skin.

Han Kyung Hee vibration Foundation

I found a interesting product today.

Price / Amount : 89,000won / 

If you want me to get it for you just ask XD

email : myteacupstory@gmail.com

Currently it's a 'HOT ISSUE' in Korean Homeshopping.
This vibration goes 5000vibration/min so that the foundation will steep into all your moles and cracked skin.

The size is kinda big so it could be bit big for small hands to grip.

It's not very hard to use. All you need is a battery and a foundation. All you need is to put these two into the vibration machine. Or you could just put the foundation on yourself and spread it with using this vibration machine.

There was alot expection about this foundation, however I feel there is bit of sound when vibrating and has big vibration motion.

The best thing about this foundation is that when applied with it the foundation is steep into the skin so it doe not wash out the tissue.

Apart from the vibration and the sound I feel this is the best product for applying foundation!
