Night Routine

I've talked about my skincare routine a couple months ago in this post. After visiting Hong Kong, I got some new things to add into my daily skincare routine, this time it includes some new products for night time. I've stuck to using the Orbis products for the day time because the moisturizer is very light so I figured I should get something more hydrating for night time.

My cleansers include the Softymo Super Point Makeup Remover, Orbis Cleansing Liquid and Lush Coalface.
The moisturizers are the P&J skincare items: Moisture Lotion, Moisture Cream and the Eye Treatment Cream.
For extras, I use a lipbalm, Ardell Lash/Brow Accelerator on the brows and Canmake Eye Essence before bed. I also use the Treatment Oil 1-2 times a week and the Skinfood Black Sugar Scrub 2-3 times a week depending on how dry my skin is.

It sounds very complicated, but I'm sure it's waaaay fewer steps than some people out there XD
The P&J items were a great addition to my routine. Not only are these products super hydrating, they also smell soooo nice, like floral and citrus scent.
A quick note about the Moisture Lotion and Cream. Sometimes my cheeks feel tight after I wash my face, once I apply the lotion, my skin immediately feels relieved and moisturized.
The Moisture Cream is super hydrating and doesn't break out on me. I do have a minor rant, it feels slighty sticky/oily on my skin. I don't mind this at all since it moisturizes very well.
Out of all the products I've used on my skin, I think the P&J ones are the most moisturizing, it even beats the Laneige Emulsions.
I almost forgot about the Skinfood Black Sugar Foam Scrub. I still think it smells like lemon dish detergent but it doesn't bother me. I like how it makes my skin feel super smooth, but the sugar granules are a bit too rough. It melts away as I massage my skin, but I just don't like the initial feeling of it. I'm gonna be getting something else after I'm through with it.

I saw on a blog (can't remember which one) that minty green polishes are supposed to be the IT color. Lucky for me I got this in September so I didn't have to hunt for one. This is the PA polish in A86. It costs about 280yen but I can't remember how much I got it for.
I used 2 coats plus the PA topcoat. I think it's a bit difficult to apply the polish evenly, if you look closely, you can seem some streaks.

Most of the time, I don't like eating dinner with my teachers. I just feel so alienated by them and it's so difficult to communicate, even with my coteachers. But it's interesting to see what's for dinner because I don't eat Korean food outside of school. I have to admit I'm quite sick of Korean food since I eat it everyday for lunch, I miss eating Chinese food.
I don't remember what this soup was called. Mine was the only non-red one because I don't eat spicy food. The flavour was yummy but it was super salty!

Some sam-gip-sal (??) fatty pork and rice. I think I was the only one that ate the lean parts of the pork XD I didn't eat the kimchi either, it was mainly pork, soup and rice for me.

The last class of grade 9 students to see me were a funny bunch. They were obviously impressed that a person who looks Korean to them could speak perfect English, so there were plenty of oooohs and ahhs.
When I walked around to check if they were doing their assignment, I usually talk to them. The boys were REALLY shy!! There were 2 boys whose faces turned red when I spoke to them. They tried to cover it with their hands while being teased by their classmates haha.

Korean Pow Wow!?

SOOO....big news. I'm not sure how many of you know, but Yumeko is coming to Seoul again!!!! Haha..I say again because she was here a few weeks ago and I wasn't able to catch her. I know there are a couple bloggers in Seoul as well and I'd like to organize a little get together for those who are in or visiting Seoul at the same time.
Naomi (Beauty Addict), Beauty and the Bitch, I'm looking at you girls. Aichaku (Aichaku Beautification), I read you're coming to Seoul as well so hopefully you'll be able to come too.

Here's what I was thinking: On Saturday April 25, we'll do some major shop visiting and cafe-ing in the Hongdae area, namely Hongik, Sinchon and Ewha Women's University. There seems to be more to do around those areas. We can always get on the subway and go elsewhere too.
Then in the evening we'll go to Mr. Pizza...because Mr. Pizza has "love for women" and go hang out at a tea cafe if there's time.


If there are any beauty bloggers out there in Seoul who would like to join, please let me know. I'd like to have the details posted a week before the date, so you'll have 2 weeks to msg/cbox me XD
I'm hoping that day will be good for everyone. I have school during the weekdays, and I don't wanna be a zombie walking into class hehe. I'm so excited!


Art Award



Me artsy? Haha...not since my highschool days. Did you know that I took a "life drawing" class in highschool and had to draw naked women and an old guy who's a vet to our school?? Haha...thank goodness he was wearing something, even if it was only a g-string...he also falls asleep if he's keeping the same position for more than 10 minutes.

Simple FOTD and Hongdae

Good morning and good evening! Depending on which side of the world you're on. I'm still going through my lipbalms so I can do a quick review on all of them on the same post.
I'm slowly getting better, thankq for all the well wishes =) My voice sounds like a manly frog speaking English/Chinese since yesterday. I'm kinda hoping that tomorrow I'll still be in the same state so I can call in sick. You won't believe how badly I want to call in sick.

I didn't do much on Saturday. I wandered around Hongik University, I'm sure it was the Hongdae area. Anyway, there's quite a few things to see...a lot of mini stores that sell pretty clothing and a lot of accessories.
I just did a simple look, didn't feel like using a whole bunch of stuff on my eyes. I did a look similar to Fuz's Korean actress inspired look, it's just black liner and very little eyeshadow. It seems so rare that I don't use eyeshadow.

I've been using the UDPP for a few years already and I noticed yesterday that the Coffret D'or shadow creased! Hopefully it's not the CoD shadow that's creasing, but if it's the UDPP, I still got another new tube to go through before cracking open the BE Prime Time.
I used the MM Frame Expander Plus mascara plus the Fiberwig. I wanted to really "beef" up my lashes since I wasn't doing any special shadow look. I think I was using the P&J lipstick in 062.

I'm a bit tempted to use falsies, but I'm sure it'll end up in failure then I'll get so frustrated.
In the close up, I actually forgot to apply the Coffret D'or shadow before tightlining, so it smudge a wee bit when I attempted to apply it. The liner is also a bit thicker than in the picture. I've tried the MUFE Aqua Eyes, but it smudged terribly. I really like the texture of the MUFE liner but I had to give it up. The P&J liner stays on but it's not as soft as the MUFE liner.
Oh! My eyebrows are started to get fuller too! I've been usin the Ardell Brow and Lash Growth Accelerator for the past week and a half and it's really starting to make a difference. I don't use it on my lashes because I have the Canmake Lash Essence.

So in the Hongdae area, there's a lot to see. According to some foreign teachers that I know, the areas south of the river (can't remember the name) is considered the rich area. It's actually a HUGE difference compared to the area that I'm living in. There's more shopping, restaurants and university students, so it feels a bit safer to be walking around at night.
I met the Pon De Ring Lion!!! I wanted to take the blankets and plushies that were behind me.

Going back into the subway and this was at around 5:30pm on a Saturday.
Again..what's with the "cock"?! I'm sure it actually says cockls, but still! Final picture, what were those girls thinking? Even though it was a high of 15C, everyone else was still wearing jackets and such. The makeup on the girl to the right looks weird. It's like she drew her eyeliner all the way up her eyelid. I would never ever dress like that in public...

The lovely DHC Store. I went inside and it was empty!! It's so awkward to have the SA following you when the store is empty. I found collagen capsules for 25000won, I might go back to get it. It'll save me more money than adding it into my 4000won Smoothie Kings everytime.
