[FOTD] Tangerine Eyes~! and Fooling Around with the Camera!

Hi girls! This is the first time I'm posting a FOTD (face of the day). I wasn't sure about my posing so I ended up with funny faces? I dunno how to label my photos XD

[Swap] The Cakepie from America

I'm so happy to post about my swap with Cakepie! Thank you very much!

Cakepie lives in United States and I live in United Kingdom so there are brands not available in the UK and vice versa. I told her that I want to try Wet n Wild products and she included these lovely eyeshadows, lip balm and eye pencil! I love the shades!

✿ January Beauty Favorites 2013

Hello guys~! I'm starting February with my January Favs. I'm a little bit late sorry about that! The past month I focused on skincare but I'm not going to talk much about skincare in this post because of my two huge skincare routines posts from the other day! Here and Here. These are the beauty products I've been loving this month:

Harajuku❤Lovers G (the original) by Gwen Stefani - It has been discontinued and I was lucky enough to find it on ebay. Luckily it's authentic and I love it. I ran out of it a few months ago and I recently repurchased it. One of my favorite perfumes ever. It has a hint of vanilla scent and sweets.

|Maybelline| Dream Fresh BB Review

Dream Fresh BB Review

Or should I say Dream Fresh Tinted moisturizer! After trying this BB cream for several times here I am writing a review about it. As you know a lot of brands from the West have been making drugstore and high end BB creams all over the place. Some of them brag about them like they invented them first. Well they didn't. They took the recipe and the idea from the Koreans.

Dream Fresh BB by Maybelline claims to have 8 benefits in one.

1. Creates Natural Glow
2. Compliments Skin-Tone
3. SPF30 UV Protection
4. Hydrates all day
5. Blurs Imperfections
6. Oil free, non-greasy
7. Looks visibly Smooth
8. Feels Fresh

All these are true. It really does what it says. But it's more like a tinted moisturizer. Perfect for summer and perfect for people that have no huge pores all over their face.

Usually BB creams from South Korea have more coverage than this. At the very least they cover black heads. This product also doesn't work with either Pore Ever primer essence by Etude nor Apple Pore Serum  by Skinfood. Which is weird.

I see no parabens which is good because I have seen so many Maybelline products that have parabens.

Liquid BB cream, hmmm. Usually BB creams are more thick and creamy. Easy to apply it on if you have kept your natural oil and haven't washed and cared your face. Honestly, I tried it after caring my skin and applying moisturizer and it was so difficult to spread it on my face. Then I used it once i woke up when I  had my natural oils left on my skin and it was so easy to spread.

Preview on my Face

Light Coverage. Not suitable for faces with huge pores. Concealer is essential. Unless your face is perfect and you just want to protect and compliment it.

I remember I applied it on several times and then I removed after a few minutes. I tried it with different concealers, different pore solutions. Nothing. It's just a tinted moisturizer. A nice product but not for me. Maybelline also states on the back that only blurs imperfections. But that's not a BB cream in my opinion.

Perfect for mixing it with an actual foundation though!

So things I like about this:

• It compliments the skin
• Has SPF30

Things I'm not happy about:

• No real coverage
• Doesn't work w/ Pore solutions such as Pore Ever primer essence by Etude House
• It's more like a Tinted Moisturizer
• It's liquid, hard to apply it on face

Would I ever repurchase this? No, because I need higher coverage.

And that's all my opinions about this product. Even though I'm not in love with it I still think it's a product worth trying if your face has no flaws.

July Mini Haul 2012

Hey guys, I went out for shopping and I got the following stuff but I also got six tops which I didn't get photos of because I went and washed them as soon as I got back home. I'm going to be doing "outfit of the day" the following weeks. So let me show you what I got!

I bought this pair of cute yellow flip flops by Adam's. I regret not buying them in atleast one more colour though. They were very cheap. I think they will be great for the rest of the summer.

And I got a lil bit Maybelline crazy because they had a sale on. Also that Seventeen nail polish looks brigther in person. More like soft neon pink. Seventeen is a Greek brand I love it.

• Seventeen Nail polish number 274
• Maybelline Dream Mat Powder 
• Maybelline the Falsies Volume express Black Drama
• Maybelline BB cream

I tried the BB cream already and I'm not very satisfied by it. I think I need more coverage that it can give me.

Sooo that's all! Thank you for reading :D Don't forget to check my blog for upcoming "Outfit of the Day" and new cosmetic reviews.
