annyeong! It’s been a while! :) Im actually listening to Immortal Songs 2 Michael Bolton Renditions and  Moon Myung Jin (문명진) is slaying it! Koreans, not only are they super good looking but they are also talented. GOSH. Well, speaking of Koreans, I’ve been loving a specific moisturizing kit I’ve purchased not long ago and yes, you’ve guessed it right, it is a Korean brand. YEY! 

 Before I talk about ‘this’ product, I would like to talk about first how I got it. I believe that this specific brand is doesn’t have any store here in the Philippines (correct me if Im wrong). Now, I was able to purchase it because of my friend, Diane. Diane is an online seller and as far as I know, she’s ordering her products straight from the brand’s official website, have it shipped here in the Philippines, and sell AUTHENTIC PRODUCTS  to make up junkies like me  (Diane, if you’re reading this, I LOVE YOU!). When she posted her products on hand online, I immediately browsed through and bought few skin care and I noticed this brand and this is the brand of Jen’s (MEEJMUSE) facial toner that’s why I decided to go purchase it and it’s not not costly. Its only PHP 250. I knew it’s about time for me to intensively take care of my skin. HELLO?! Im already 21. Im aging. I use this kit almost everyday right after I shower and every after I wash my face.

 And for a little bit of trivia, our skin sometimes becomes oily due to lack of moisture, that’s why applying moisturizer daily is super important. When our skin is dry, it tends to produce more oil to battle the dryness, thus, it makes you oily and eventually breakout, When I was younger, I used to think that if I wash and wash my face, the oiliness will be gone but I was wrong and my skin is still breaking out. (but this is way way back when I was 16-18 years old). I constantly searched for a product that could hydrate my skin but not as feel as sticky cause hey, Philippines is a tropical country so I don’t wanna feel sticky and oily and yucky. I tried so many brands out there, other Korean brands, but it feels so tacky, but this is truly the one that worked.

 So without any further ado, here’s the product that I’ve been talking about:     

                                    MAMONDE FLORAL HYDRO KIT

                          *cute small packaging, not bad for a sample kit*

Now, I don’t know if this kit came as free when Diane purchased something from Mamonde but I don’t mind paying for it cause cmon, it’s super worth it.

 The kit comes with three little bottles;

 I will review them based on how I use them orderly. After I wash my face with Etude House Every month cleansing foam, I would dry it with a towel and I would use the skin softener first.

  Using a cotton pad, it would just put a little (cause I love it so much) and a little goes a long way. It’s like a toner, I guess? And it smells so good. So right after my skin has already absorbed all the goodness of the softener, I would proceed to the emulsion which is on the other tall bottle:

  This emulsion smells really like flowers and I was so surprised that it was not as sticky as other Korean brands out there. I would just apply it using my fingers and when it’s almost dry, I would use the last one, the cream on the small bottle:

  I would also just my fingers to apply the cream and once it’s applied, I would tap it onto my skin for better absorbency until it dries.

 So now I am done.  I don’t use any other product aside from this kit if I would just stay at home all day and it has seriously moisturized my face like heaven! But if I would be putting on makeup and will be heading out, I will put SPF and Anti Sebum Gel from Etude House. Maybe this year I would add another skin care product from my routine. Maybe for undereye circles? I don’t have any yet, but I would love to use and test out products.

 So to sum it all up, this is the verdict:

PACKAGING: 10/10 (I don’t mind the packaging)

SMELL: 10/10

RESULT: 9/10

 I have some other Korean Skin Care product that I could write about and share it with you..yes you, just let me know and I would love to share J If you also wanna order something from my friend Diane, sent me a message on my facebook, here’s the link: http://www,facebook.com/kharminkyung/ and I’ll connect you to her :)

Thank you for giving me your valuable time and for reading this! Until next time!

Hello guys! Its really been a while since my last post. well yes, to be honest, I’ve been busy with my life.. and honestly, became so busy, I was not able to appreciate the goodness everywhere.

To start, yes, I am now single. (Okay ex, if you’re reading this, thanks for everything). It has been the darkest phase of my life (if I must say) when I waited for her, and when she returned, everything about her changed. I know, I have to embrace the change that she went through, I did, I adjusted, but nothing happened.

After some time, we broke up and that lead me to depression. well, to let you know guys, depression looks really different. I tried to pretend that Im happy even if Im not. There were times that I would go to the toilet, sit and just cry at the cubicle. One day, I was on hyper mode and my manager told me: “you know what, you’re so happy right now. I can feel your depression.”

until now Im still trying to fight that lonely feeling. But as each day passes, I’m enjoying my own time, I like serendipity, I like how I talk to myself, I like how I discovered some parts of me that I never know of.

My favorite make up guru once said on her videos: “The sun will continue to shine, the world will continue to spin” and “we are all capable of greatness”. That made me realize that there’s more to life than struggles and pain, there’s more to life than being hopeless, and that better days are coming.

Please dont get me wrong. Im still at the healing process, but it just feels so good to recreate your life and give it a new meaning without you seeking for approval of someone.

Hi Guys! 

okay, I've been promising everyone that I'll be blogging and reviewing but I was not able to do that because of my very hectic sched. lols

anyways, last week my friend and I went to Megamall to shop and we ended up in Forever21. I bought dresses and yes, some make up. One of them is the Love and Beauty Eyeshadow Palette in Natural, this is how it looks: 

it has 10 colors which some were matte and some were shimmery.

okay, let's start with swatching. 

I started with the first row:

*sorry if its blurred* But as you can see the colors were really pigmented and gorgeous. It has a shimmery deep brown, matte brown, shimmery rust, shimmery gold and shimmery light brown.

now for the second row:

the colors were: matte dark brown, shimmery plum, shimmery medium brown, shimmery pink and last is the color which is close my skin tone.

PROS:

- good packaging

- intense and really pigmented colors

- very very very cheap

-comes with two sponge applicator

CON(S):

- ingredients

-made in china (Im sorry but my professor in college told me that China made products are substandard)

If I will rate this palette, I will give this 8/10.

I think this is very handy to carry and ideal to those who wants to sport natural look. Also, it is very cheap cause it only costs PHP385.00.

Thank you very much for reading guys! 

let me know if you want more reviews. I have more palettes here from Chanel, Clinique, Etude House and many more.

I can also make reviews about beauty products :)
