Makeup "Transformation"?

Hi! 

I got the idea of making a lot of differnet makeup looks/transformations. Not Promise Phan-like, but different  styles of makeup from around the world. I will be making these looks: 

Pin-up: 

Long lashes, naturel eyeshadows, high cheekbones and bright red lipstick! Possibly also a fake mole to complete the look. Pin-ups are sexy, funny and adorable at the same time, and their makeup is easy and fun to create! 

Ulzzang/Eouljjang

(Korean model Song Ah Ri)

Means "best face" in korean. It has become one of the most famous fashionstyles in South Korea. It's the babydoll concept of looking young, pure and cute. A lot of eyeliner, white eyeshadow underneath the eyes and "eyebags". Not to mention their sharp V-line faces (which means a sharp chin/a heartshaped face), naturel hair, and glowing and dewy skin. A new trend among ulzzangs too are "gradiant lips" as well. A cute look!

Doll/Gyaru

(Japanese POPTEEN-model Nana Suzuki)

First of all - gyaru's aren't meant to be doll, I know, that's not what they are going for, but with the big eyes and small face features it seems almost like it. Gyaru is a japanese fashionstyle, and the makeup consists of circle lenses, dramatic fake eyelashes, bottom eyelashes, brown or naturel eyeshadows, and lots of contouring is the key! While most gyaru's are slightly tanned compared to the ulzzangs. They also tend to look more grown-up than ulzzangs, and while ulzzang can be a very naturel makeuplooks, gyarus are meant to be dramatic and outstanding! Their hair is mostly blond/light, big and curly! 

"Indian Style" Makeup

I don't know if this belongs to any specific style, but I love the makeup that indian girls wear on special occasions! It's so colourful, bright and happy. There's mostly focus on the eyes, and less or none on lips/eyebrows/facial feautres. Their skin is kept naturel-looking yet flawless, and their makeup often fits their clothes. Hair, face and body is often filled with different asian jewelry. 

What's more beauitful than a bride? (Althought the bride on this picture doesn't look to happy hahah). Bridal makeup of course varies depending on where in the world you live, but since I live in the western world I will try to recreate that look. Bridal looks too vary from person to person. Some want naturel makeup, some want something more dramatic, colorful, dark or what ever. But I will go for the naturel innocent bridal look. Making the beautiful features stand out, and hiding the biggest flaws. A naturel all over makeup is good for any to-be bridal. The hair is often put up in a bun or another beuaitufl and calm way. 

Another (maybe slightly frighetning?) definitely different makeup look by the japanese again! This is called "ganguro" and is another undegroud streetstyle by the japanese girls. Their hair is often pastel coloured or another crazy colour and tuned all up. Long false and very decorative nails. They either tan a  lot or use a foundation a lot darker than their actual skintone, and create white panda-like circles around the entire eyearea, along with eyeliner down under the eye. Some use circle lenses as well. Then they "obviously" highlight the nose with white liner, and their lips as well. They often use small decoartional thiings on their cheeks such as pearls or stickers and glue them on with false eyelash glue - don't even use real glue! It's a very different and kind of funny look! 

These are all the different makeup looks I will be working on the upcoming days (or possibly weeks, I am not sure, sorry!) I wil try to recreate the makeup and if possible, the hair and clothes as well.

If anyone has more to add or other suggestions for me feel free to message me or comment down below!

Bye from now, hugs ~ ♥ 

Lancome Serum Review

Hi! 

Sorry for being so inactive for... almost a month? Sorry for being a suckish blogger, I promise to pull myself together! In april I will make more posts, I promise! 

Here is my review on my Lancome serum!

First of: Why use serum when you're so young?

I'm 17, so it will be quite some time before I see wrinkles (however fine lines can appear already in your 20'es), and serum is known to be something only for 'old women'. Well, it's not, and the younger you are trying to avoid the wrinkles, the longer they will keep away. If you start using antiwrinkle products when you already have wrinkles, you won't be fixing the "mistakes", you'll just prevent new wrinkles from coming. 

Serum is an amazing product, but you don't need to use a serum for 60+ skin. Ask your local makeup store what will match your skin best. 

Alright, now to the review. 

This is: Lancome Genifique Youth Activator

Price (in Denmark only - it may vary depending on where you live): 365DKK (I hope it's right, forgive me if not), which is about 62USD. 

So it is pricey for only 20ml, but you can buy a bigger bottle, 50ml for 500+DKK, which is 85USD.

Some 'explanation' on the back of the box.

 Serum should be applied morning and evening before bedtime. Rinse/cleanse your face and if you want to, use a toner before applying your serum. Do NOT apply your moisturiser before your serum! Serum first, then moisturiser. 

Sorry for the bad pictures, I don't know why the quality is so low ~

I think this serum is quite nice. It gives this fresh feeling on my face. It doesn't really have any smell, and the consistence is almost like water! 

You only need 1-2 drops for the entire face and it takes second for it to sink into your face! After using it for now, a couple of weeks, I feel my skin has not improved much - but it could be caused for bad eating, etc. too. I still use it, and I think I will repurchase it when I run out!

This review was super short, but I still hope you like it. I recommend for all ages to purchase a serum, ask your local makeup store what fits your better. Good luck, and I will return very soon! 

Etude House Precious Mineral Sun BB Cream Review

Hi everyone! 

I have super many upcoming reviews, and I feel like I keep getting more and more skincare and makeup (yesterday invested in 5 makeup products!) but I try my best! 

This is my personal review of my first Etude House product ever! I've heard so much good about Etude House. Etude House is a very popular southkorean makeup/skincare-brand known for making ulzzang-makeup and products for sensitive asian skin! Unfortunately my skin isn't "asian" (oh really?), but I'll give it a shot. 

The western BB creams are a lot darker than the asian ones because the 'beauty' in asia is pale skin, while here tan skin is more popular. I am naturelly dead-pale and that's why asian bb creams fit my skin more. 

I recieved my BB cream SO quickly, I barely waited 14 days, and shipping was free! Thought it was a little pricey, but so worthy, this came to me in my mailbox! (Blurred out my adress)

This is (long name, I know): Etude House Precious Mineral Sun BB Cream with SPF 50

Whitening & Anti-wrinkle, Anti-darkening, and long lasting and waterproof, plus SPF 50? Is this not too much to ask for? I LOVE IT!

Here's the BB Cream, it comes with an automatic sponge-applicator which I prefer using because it covers super well! You can take the sponge-applicator off if you want to. 

(On this picture I had already tried it on for reviewing purposes before taking a picture. The sponge was pure white and unused before of course!)

The sponge is SUPER SOFT. Like petting a bunny or hugging a teddybear! *___* 

Look how pale it is? 

Here I am naked-faced, wearing nothing but the BB Cream. The picture is slightly blurry, but you can tell that my skin becomes really dewy, naturelly shiny and super flawless! (Sorry that I don't have a 'before'-picture to show you just how big the effect really is!) By the way, sorry for looking tired, it's taken in the morning, I just can't bother to look awake and happy. (Ohoho, the morning uglyness) ~~ 

Super dewy skin, right? I love it sooo much! ~

So all in all, what I think:

I love how long it lasts! It lasts through the entire day even after going to gym and sweating! And when you apply, it actually does make my face feel super cool and fresh. 

Light feeling, heavy coverage!

I was so surprised by the coverage because western BB creams doesn't really cover, only gives a little "teint". I didn't need any concealer on my pimples and only very little on my dark circles, my skin became flawless! Super many good points to Etude for that! 

However, it does not have any whitening effect for me, because I am so pale, but it's not a big bother for me. I'm pale enough, and the colour matches perfectly! I was scared it wouldn't, because I had to buy it online. 

It's a little pricey, but also worth it! 

However, there's not a lot of product in the container. It's very light already, and there's barely any bb cream inside. It's already so small! *Sigh* 

I recommend this for all skin types really, old, sensitive, acne, anything, because it hits everything and benefits all skin types perfectly! 

It is now my favorite BB cream, it has so many benefits it's almost a skincare product! (Ok, maybe not hahaha ~)

Wanna have flawless skin like all the beautiful ulzzang girls? Go buy Etude House! 

It's all for now. Byebye! 

L'oreal Paris Triple Active Fresh Review

Hi everyone! 

Sorry for not being a very good blogger, I need to blog often but I feel like I have so much to do, and I have so many reviews waiting in line for me, it's crazy! I have several mask reviews, nail-polish reviews, skincare reviews, and it's wayyy too much, I'm getting tired just thinking about it. 

But anyways, here is my L'oreal moisturiser review, this is my current moisturiser along with one other. 

This is; L'Oréal Triple Active Fresh intensive moisturising gel cream. 

I use a washgel for my face, but never have I had a moisturizing gel. The texture is quite different, it really does have the texture of a typical washgel. It cools down the skin and feels super nice in the morning when you need to wake up - thought it's a con at night when you want to stay sleepy. 

Here's a gif to give you an idea of how the texture is.

This matches my skin since it also suits mixed/combined skin. I do not use this for my neck though, face only. It says that it "tonifies" and I feel like it actually really does, it makes my face feel super fresh! 

The moisturiser is cheap, hence there's not a lot of a product in the big bottle. I feel I paid more for the pretty bottle, than I did for my product. 

Translation: TRIPLE ACTIVE FRESH extra moisturising gel-cream is full of vitamins (CG, E and B5) and essential minerals (magnesium and calcium) for a full feeling of moisture, for an immediatly fresh skin with a fresh teint everyday. 

Triple effect. 

Moisturises: Adds intenst and full moist to the skin all day. 

Gives springines (anti-wrinkle: The formula is full of vitamins and minerals to make the skin springy (lol, I can't find a better translation) and give it new energy. 

Refreshes: Your skin will immidiatly refreshed thanks to the soft gel-texture.

Result: The skin becomes refreshed and springy. It will have lots of mositurise from morning to evening and feels soft and nice. 

How to use: Apply to face and neck every morning and evening after cleaninsing skin. The gel-creams easy consistence makes it for the skin quick to absorb. 

I use the L'oreal moisturiser for my face and Neautral Face Cream for my neck. 

Pros:

- The gel-texture is awesome!

- It freshnes up my face

- Cheap

Cons: 

- Lots of parfum, it doesn't smell good

- Not a good moisturiser for normal or dry skin

All in all, I like it, but I would not continue buying it. 

That's all for this entry. See you in my next, which hopefully will be sooner.

Essie Nailpolish Review

Hi! 

Sorry for being inactive for so long, I've been busy (playing sims *cough* *cough*) 

I'm back with a small Essie-nailpolish review! I'm reviewing both the pink one and the "grow stronger", but this entry will be meant for "grow stronger". I'm a huuuuge fan of Essie's nailpolish, they're all the perfect flawless colours! 

For my lazyness recently, I've started on a new this february. I am going to fitness and I do my skincare (or try to) every single day, no matter how much lack of sleep I've gotten! But I sure look tired now... 

Anyways, here are my two recent buys, the Essie "Need a Vacation", which is this super quite strawberrymilk colour, and this "Grow Stronger" Essie polish. It has no colour, but is meant to strenghten weak nails, like mine! 

 First I removed my nailpolish, put on handcream, and cut my nails short. My nails can't get more than a few milimetres long before they break off or get ugly. My nails are and have always been very ugly and fragile, and now that I'm working it's even worse. They floss very easy, and my thumbs are the worst, hence I don't want to upload a picture of them. I can not grow them long at all, and they seem to be in several "layers" of nail. 

So I was hoping I could find my saviour here!

It works as a basecoat as well. It says that in just 5 days your nails should appear and grow out stronger. Seems good to me! ~

I've worn it for 2 weeks now, and I have had nailpolish above it. (Apply as a basecoat, let it dry, and apply a coloured polish). It works alright I guess. I feel my nails are still very fragile, but they look prettier. They can't grow very long, but that's probably just a fact I have to look in the eyes. Poor me, I think it's super feminine when girls have long and healthy nails! 

Essie is semi-pricey for a nailpolish, but you do get a good amount of product. I now own 7 Essie-nailpolishes, and I love them! They're about 18dollars for one polish. 

All in all, I'm satisfied, recommended for weak nails! But I don't think my nails grow a lot longer though. But at least they are healthier! Hope you enjoy my thoughts on this product.

Bye for now, see you soon hopefully! ~

HOT Makeup Lipstick & Lipgloss Review

Hi! 

I'm doing a review on a PINK lipstick and lipgloss both from HOT Makeup. 

I love baby pink and pastel pink, and in my opinion glitter belongs on the lips and not the eyes! This lipstick is very powerful pastel pink though, I tone it down and only apply in small amount. But I will show you how it looks fully on the lips, just continue on reading! 

This is the lipstick. It does not seem to have a name, but it's #09. 

On the picture it does seem quite dark compared to real life, it's more bright and colourful!

The lipgloss is a similar colour, and a perfect match. However alone, it's very naturel. There's not a lot of pigment, but a lot of glitter! It's not sticky, and it's actually quite good quality - but you'll have to re-apply after drinking or eating, so bring it with you! 

Left to right: The lipstick, and the lipgloss. 

Excuse the close-up, hahah! ~ This is how the lipstick and lipgloss looks. It's quite heavy and bright even for my pale skin. It fits a sweet gyaru-look, but for everyday I blot away all exces with a tissue paper, and it goes by a naturel but cute-looking pink colour, with glitter! 

(Edit: Blurred around moth. No colour-edit.)

I know this review is super short, I'll be making more reviews soon and possibly a makeup tutorial for both hair and makeup with Qi Yue (Rainie Yang's character in Devil Beside You) 

All for now, thanks for reading! ~
