『Makeup Tutorial』*Shimmering and Sparkling*

 안녕~!

*Shimmering and Sparkling Makeup Look*

This look will make your eyes sparkle in the sun. The light pink mineral eye shadow contrasting with the vibrant hot pink and black elongated eyeliner will define and highlight the natural shape of your eyes and really make your natural eye color pop!
I took this picture when I first tried out the eyeliner, so my hair and this tutorial are a little different!

Products used in the Tutorial
Step 1: Start with a fresh, clean face.
Step 2: Apply Missha BB Cream No.31 (or your shade)~ {I just switched from No. 27-my winter shade-, to No. 31 -my summer shade-}
BB Cream helps to brighten and even out skin tone & conceal blemishes and redness.

Step 3: Apply Tony Moly Face Mix Cover Pot Concealer in 02 Natural Beige. Lightly dab onto blemishes using fingertips and blend with a clean makeup sponge. {I applied it under my eyes to cover dark circles, on blemishes, and around my nose and mouth to cover redness.}

Don't worry! The concealer won't make your face drastically lighter (that is just a change in lighting, lol), it will just brighten and clear blemishes.

Step 4: Eyeliner!
1. Sei Bella Liquid Eyeliner in Black ~ 2. 3CE Creamy Waterproof Eyeliner in WOW Pink ~ 3. Etude House Styling Eyeliner (in White/cream)
{Eyeliner-Part 1}: Apple Sei Bella Liquid Eyeliner in Black, start at the inner corner of your eyelid and apply towards the outer edge of your eyelid while following the natural curvature of your eyes. {Don't wing the eyeliner}
Side note: I'm not using any filters or editing on these pictures, so if there is a difference in any color it is just a change in lighting when I took the photo.

{Eyeliner- Part 2:} Apply Sei Bella Black Liquid Eyeliner to your lower lash-line. If you aren't comfortable using Liquid Eyeliner, I would recommend using a black pencil liner for this part, so you can avoid any messes! 
~
Starting from the middle of your bottom lash-line, apply the eyeliner towards the outer corner of your eye until it meets the top eyeliner. Again, follow the natural shape of your eye. You should have a little triangle of space on your lower lash-line between the top and lower eyeliner, fill this in with eyeliner.

{Eyeliner- Part 3:}Outline the black eyeliner with 3 Concept Eyes WOW Pink Creamy Waterproof Eyeliner. And apply Etude House Styling Eyeliner in White/Cream to your lower inner lash-line. (This will brighten your eyes)
If your black eyeliner smudges when you apply the pink eyeliner, just add a little more liquid black liner over the original to make the eyeliner appear sharp again.
Step 5: Eyeshadow ^_^~
1. e.l.f. Mineral Eyeshadow in Sweet ~ 2. Lioele Color Eyeshadow in No. 19 Shine Pink ~ 3. e.l.f. Mineral Eyeshadow in Sassy
Apply the e.l.f. Mineral Eyeshadow in Sweet on your eyelid. Then, apply Lioele Color Eyeshadow in Shine Pink to your outer corner and crease; and blend. Last, apply e.l.f. Mineral Eyeshadow in Sassy from the middle of your lower lash-line to the inner corner or your lower lash-line.

Step 6: Mascara and Brows~ Using Sei Bella Waterproof Defining Mascara in Black- Apply this to your eyelashes for full beautiful lashes! For brows: {I've never plucked or trimmed my eyebrows so they are pretty full} So with my Etude House Drawing Eye Brow Pencil in Dark Brown, I used only the brush end to shape my eyebrows. If you have thinner eyebrows you can fill them in using the pencil side of the Eye Brow pencil.

Step 7: Blush- I blended together my 3 Concept Eyes Face Blush (in Cotton Candy) and Cover Girl Blush (I honestly don't know the color, I bought this a while ago, so the text is faded- but any bright pink blush will do). Apply this from the apples of your cheeks, in an upward circular motion, towards your eyes. This will help to highlight and contour your cheekbones.

Step 8 (Final Step!): Lip Makeup~ Start by applying Burts Bees Tinted Lip Balm in Dahlia. Second, apply 3 Concept Eyes Creamy Lipstick No. 401 Scandal. Third, apply 3 Concept Eyes Creamy Lipstick No. 409 Kiss Woo and 3 Concept Eyes Lip Lacquer in Fever to the center of lips and blend with your fingertip. Lastly (this step is optional), I added my Cover Girl Red Lipstick (again not sure of the color, lol! It is my favorite lipstick right now, so I use it often~ but the text is faded) to the inner part of my lips, to get a fuller lip look!

Final Look!




This look also goes well with glasses!

『Review』3CE Creamy Waterproof Eyeliner Review and Makeup Tutorial Preview

お久しぶりね!^_^~

I actually started this post back in May but I didn't get around to finishing it because of finals!
Anyway, here's the review!

This is the outside package of 3 Concept Eyes Creamy Waterproof Eyeliner in *Wow Pink*
Back of box

 Actual Pencil
 Everything is sealed very nicely, so it makes it easy to see if your item is 100% new!
Pencil Sharpener, you can also twist the eyeliner upward, when the sharpener is intact.
 Tip of the eyeliner pencil, very vibrant color!

 And now, for the color and waterproof tests!

Top: The top line is without smudging, the bottom two lines are after I smudged the eyeliner a bit. The color stayed vibrant even after smudging and it sticks really well.
Bottom Left: After rinsing my hand in water.
Bottom Right: After dabbing my hand with a cotton towel to dry it. The eyeliner didn't fade at all after drying the water, and the color is still very bright! So a definite pass on the waterproof test!

Overall, I absolutely love this pencil eyeliner! The pencil sharpener at the bottom is really convenient, the color is vibrant and fun; and the waterproof ability is amazing! Now that summer is here, I plan on going to the pool and beach as much as possible, so this eyeliner will definitely be a must-have in my make-up bag!

Makeup Tutorial Preview

This look will make your eyes sparkle in the sun. The light pink mineral eye shadow contrasting with the vibrant hot pink and black elongated eyeliner will define and highlight the natural shape of your eyes and really make your natural eye color pop!





I will post the tutorial later this week!

3 Concept Eyes (by STYLENANDA) Lip Lacquer Review

안녕~!

So this is my first product review! 3 Concept Eyes Lip Lacquer (I ordered from EyeCandys.com)
Color: Fever
~Note: The opinions expressed in this post are my opinions, and this post is not sponsored in any way.

Here is the outside of the package/box:

The actual product: {It is in a glass cube}
3CE Lip Lacquer Bottle
{There is a little seal on the bottle, so you can see if it is new or has been used!}
Open bottle and applicator: {The applicator is slanted}

Pictures from 3 Concept Eyes:

Okay so on to the product review:
The lip lacquer is a liquid so it is very vibrant {which I like}! The color is a bright reddish-orange.


 After it dried: (takes about 5-10 minutes to fully dry) - {Ignore my messy hair this was taken in the morning~:P}

Overall review:
The color is very vibrant and pretty. It takes a while to dry so I blend it with a lip-stick and it usually dries faster. Also as far as it's lasting ability, I would say it lasts about 4-5 hours before you need to re-apply.
The color is also is more vibrant outdoors than indoors, but I didn't get a chance to take a picture (so I will edit this post and add one, later!)
I give the 3CE Lip Lacquer in *Fever* a 8/10- I really love this product and I will be ordering different colors also!

I will post a tutorial on this Bright Red Lipstick Look also, using the 3CE Lip Lacquer in *Fever*!:

~じゃ、またね!

『Haul/Review』EyeCandy's Haul {STYLENANDA 3 Concept Eyes Makeup}



So I said I would be reviewing Jolse, but I decided to save that for my next post. I recently ordered from EyeCandys.com and here's my review!

~Note: The opinions expressed in this post are my opinions, and this post is not sponsored in any way.

Ordering and Shipping

I ordered three products around December 20th. On Dec. 26, I finally get an email saying my items have shipped. {Okay, great}. But then I got another email the next day saying that 2 of the items I ordered "were out of stock at the time I ordered". {Okay, why wasn't there stock automatically updated. But okay~} So I sent them an email (on the 28th) asking them to provide me a list of the colors that were in stock for those two items.
Then, they send an email back (on the same day) saying "our stock is changing everyday, so please tell us the color you would like". {Okay, seriously, just tell me what you have in stock or what you estimate will be in stock. If I tell you a color, then you check and it isn't in stock wouldn't it have been easier to just tell me what is already in stock?}

So I responded and said I would like a list of all the colors available, again. So they finally send me a list of the available colors. (on the 29th). Then I responded an chose out the available colors and finally on the 1st of January they send a confirmation email that my items "will be shipped out in the next 3 days".

So anyways after that "hassle". I received two packages separately, one with the first item (that was in stock) and the other with my other two items. The first arrived around January 17th and the second arrived two days ago on the 21st.

-Not happy with their shipping and ordering process.
The shipping, however, was free so that is a plus. - They have free worldwide shipping.

Package and Items

So I don't have a picture of the first package, but it was in a black plastic package with bubble wrap inside.
Here is the second package. It's a pink (cute!) bubble wrap envelope.
Contrary to their messy shipping process, the items were very neat and packaged well.


I ordered: (I used a coupon code for the holiday sale, so the total was less than the expected price)
1. 3 Concept Eyes Creamy Waterproof Eyeliner- in *WOW Pink* - $14.99
2. 3CE Lip Lacquer- in *Fever* (originally ordered it in *Backstage*)- $21.90
3. 3CE Face Blush - in *Valentine Pink* (originally ordered it in *Cotton Candy*) - $18.96

They didn't send any samples with either package. :( 
{Which I sort of expected since I spent of $50, and I have ordered from other websites and paid only $20 or bought only one item and still got plenty of samples} 


Eyecandy's Rating: 7/10
I really like that everything was packaged neatly and the free shipping. But, the shipping process and how long it took to arrive was very annoying. Even so, I will probably order from EyeCandy's again because it is so far one of the few online stores to carry 3 Concept Eyes products (and provide free worldwide shipping)! I'll just be sure to email in advance to make sure everything I want is in stock! ^_^~

『Haul/Review』BeautyNet Korea Haul and Review

So this is my first post! I recently bought some Korean Skin Care and Cosmetic products from Beautynetkorea.com and I wanted to share it! {Korean Beauty Haul!}


~Note: The opinions expressed in this post are my opinions, and this post is not sponsored in any way.


Order and Shipping


First, I ordered my items on January 4th (Saturday) and I got an email saying the items were shipped on the 6th (Monday). I received my package this week on {Monday, January 13th} So I would say the shipping was pretty fast! Especially for coming from Seoul to California.

Package and Items

So my package came through USPS, and was in a box small enough to fit in my mailbox.

Everything was bubble wrapped and sealed nicely.
*That little spot on the tape was from me the original tape was sealed.

Here is what I ordered:

1. Innisfree - It's Real Grean Tea Mask- 7pcs ~ $6.25
2. The Face Shop- Real Nature Rice Mask Sheet- 7pcs ~ $6.99
3. Holika Holika - Pig Nose Clear Black Head 3 Step Kit ~ $4.35
4. Holika Holika - Cover and Hiding Stick Concealer ~ $5.68
5. The Face Shop - Real Nature Mask Pomegranate- 3pcs ~ $3.69
6.  Innisfree - Green tea mineral mist 50ml ~$8.59

Shipping was free and you get a member discount if you sign up, so my order was $33.50!

I also got a lot of samples! Yay! ^_^~

Samples:
2- Etude House Shea Butter Nutrifull Cream
2- Etude House Nymph Aura Volumer
2- Etude House Collagen Moistfull Enriched Cream
2- Etude House GoBack (to the best time of your skin) Total Solution

Beautynetkorea.com Rating- 9.5/10
Ordering was easy and lots of sales and discounts were available. I also love that shipping is free! And it ws really fast! All items were packaged very well and lots of samples came with my order! I didn't contact customer service at all, so I can't provide a rating for that. However, my experience with Beautynetkorea was definitely good! I will be ordering again soon! 
{The reason for a 9.5 instead of 10, is because all of the samples are from Etude House, I wish the sample selection was from different cosmetic brands, so I can try out new brands.}

So that's it for my first post! Short and sweet~ Also reviews of the items and samples will be posted soon!

Oh, and my next post will be a Jolse.com Review and Haul!
