TARGET HAUL

Intro

Hello!!! Today I am extremely thrilled to share with you guys my Tarje haul.  Okay, this weekend I went to Target to find some leggings and socks but I started to wander off onto clothes and found myself with a whole basket.  Jeez, my shopping craze can blow up but as soon as it does, I get bored and want to leave.  Annnyyyways, after trying on all these clothes I only chose about three items that I needed or any basics for my closet.  I also bought some beauty products with my own money but it was sooo aggravating for me to not buy another mascara.  Those little poops are really addicting to buy!  

Item #1

The first item I bought was this simple white t-shirt.  I used to have one until I washed the shirt with darks (Tushig do you ever use your brain?)...so it turned all gross and grey so I was in a need of a plain tee.  I honestly think a plain white t-shirt is an essential for any closet; it can be pair with anything or go as itself (I wore my plain tee with overalls).

Item #2

Yayay, I found myself with another crop top.  This kind of crop top isn't all fancy or proper.  It has more of a laid back feature to it and I think that is what makes it special.  It's also is a muscle tee so it can be worn as a top for swimming suits, bandos, or even tank tops.  The tank top material is extremely soft translating to being realllyy comfy.

Item #3

OVERALLSSSS...okay well I guess I'm a little excited but guys like seriously, I love overalls.  I used to own one as a child but they have made their comeback and are ready to be trendy as ever (If you want to see more of a 90's combacks check out Dani's blog).  This sweet baby is the fashion statement.  Personally, I like overall shorts and dresses than actual pant overalls because the pants makes me look short and chubby.  If you look wonderful in them, I am soooo jealous...you make everyone jealous, so keep on wearing them!  (Tip: Do not tighten your straps too tight or else it will become an uncomfortable situation.) 

Item #4

Do you ever get that feeling after wearing mascara everyday?Your eyelashes are like drooping and dying.  Well it's happening to my eyelashes now and I feel bad for them.  The eye make up remover I use is just the plain wipes.  Let me tell you after like three months, my eyelashes started to fall out, literally.  I felt like taking more care of them so I bought the Almay Long and Waterproof Eye Makeup Remover pads.  The advantage to this is it's ready to be used with prepared pads.  I recommend it to people who wear waterproof mascara because 90% of the pad is oil so it's great for removing waterproof eye makeup.

Item #5  

Beginning from May, I have to attend all these fancy events which translates into buying more makeup!!! Jk, but the only missing beauty product in my makeup collection was a light pink lipgloss.  From Target I bought the Revlon Pango Peach.  The color gives off a slight shine and makes your lips look pumped and big (considering that my lips are already big... I only use one coat).

 

Item #6

Hey people, I had this craving for white clean shoes.  Do you ever get these cravings for shoes?  Let's make up a term for it and call it Shoe Craves (such a creative term).  After shopping for clothes, I bolted for the shoe section. I bought Van knock offs and they look exactly like the real Vans too. Can you believe it? The shoes were ONLY twelve dollars...yes please one for me!

Thank you for reading the newest haul and as always stay beautiful:)

Korean Inspired Makeup Tutorial

Makeup Makeup Makeup

Intro

As most you of you guys know, I am obsessed with everything that has to do with Korea.  Even right now I'm listening to Kpop while writing this blog heeehee.  I decided to do a makeup tutorial on Korean makeup because their way of using makeup is a little bit different from the U.S.  It may seem kind of weird but work with me because I am actually excited to do this blog post.  Okay, let's get started!

Step 1    

Apply BB cream, foundation, lotion or what ever type of base you like to use to start with.  In Korea, they want to have lighter skin (the ideal skin color) so they usually choose a lighter shade from their body...I think our own skin color is beautiful but what ever floats your boat.

Any Base

Step 2

I am going to apply some eyeshadow primer before applying eyeshadow and eye liner because it lasts longer and prevents smudging.  I bought the Naked Pallet 3 which came with Urban Decay samples so I took advantage of this.  (I was soo excited cause I couldn't buy the fifty dollar eye primer with the other fifty dollar eyeshadow pallet.)

Samples

Step 3  

I am taking this neutral matte color (beige or light brown) as the over all base.  Koreans do not use much eye shadow because they want to aim for a natural look.  This eyeshadow just gives a small spice to your eyes.  After applying the basic "coat" for the eyes take a shimmery or sparkly pink eyeshadow to highlight under your eyes.  This gives a soft glow to your eyes and shows "aegyo" fat; if you have "aegyo" fat it is meant to make your look younger and youthful. If you want you, can use some of your light eyeshadow to highlight the brow bone too.

Beige or Light Brown

Step 4 

Now, I am taking a pencil liner (Bare Minerals Big and Bright in Black Coffee) to line my eyes.  It doesn't HAVE to be a pencil but I prefer it because it gives a softer look and again with the youthful kind of image.  I am lining the eye at the base and at the end of the line this is when the key part of Korean concept comes in.  You want to keep the line down as you draw it instead of winging it.  This downward eye line gives a puppy eye feel and the particular line technique is extremely popular in Korea. (Here is more information on the technique wengie.com)

Keep the eyeliner down

Step 5

The easiest step is to curl dem lashes and add coats of mascara.  There isn't a perfect way to apply but I love mascara because it makes my eyelashes apear to be longer and fuller.  (Hahahahaahah even though they are sooooo short.)

Step 6 

For blush, I am barely using (The Bare Minerals Avent-Garden) lighten my cheeks.  You want to gently fluff your cheeks with the blush brush. WIth the light skin tone and natural look, blush isn't necessary but I will use a small amount for the fun of it.

Step 7

For the last and final step take a shade of light pink or orange lipgloss.  The ombre look or orange lips are THE trend in Korea.  I didn't feel like wearing ombre lips but there will be a picture of it at the end of the blog.

Yayay we have finally finished the look and now you know how to apply a Korean styled makeup.  (You can let your hair down after all your makeup is done... yes yes) I hoped this helped and was fun to read, it was soooo hard to take these pictures and awkward because my parents thought I was taking selfies when in reality I was actually taking selfies for English!  Thank you and as always stay beautiful;)

Finished Look

Oh and here is the picture for the Korean Ombre Lips, they actually look pretty cool.  As you can see it starts with from a dark shade and transforms into a light or neutral color. Comment below if you want to try out the ombre look!

Mini Beauty Haul

Intro

 I have exciting news...yayayayay!  So my mom and I went to City Creek for poops and giggles just to look at new makeup.  I was dying to look at Sephora so I persuaded my mom and dragged her into the store.

 Let me tell you, she first didn't want to go because their perfume for the store gave her a "headache" (puhhhlease mom) but later she started to dig it.  The most embarrassing part was when she went up to the store owner and said "So my daughter doesn't put make up on, can you do professional makeup on her?"  Like, I don't need instructions on how to put make up on! (Geez mom hehe still love ya)  The store owner like looked at me like I was a hot mess and went over to the blonde make up artist.  The snotty makeup artist came up to us and was like "umm...the make over is totally like $50 soooo yaa"  My mom turned that deal down real fast.  Anyways I didn't get a makeover (whew) but my mom magically bought some awesome Sephora makeup. Let's get started!

Item #1

The first item I was fortunately received was the Urban Decay Naked Pallet 3!!!! Let me tell you that I did NOT think I was going to get this pallet.  First, this eyeshadow pallet is $53 dollars.  There were only four left in stock at the store we were at.

This pallet contains many sparkly eyeshadows and some matt colors that I will forever use.  I hope to use this pallet until it is empty and want to buy more.  So far, I have been in love with these eye shadows!

Item #2

The second item is my new Dior mascara which is called Diorshow Iconic Overcurl.  The flaw with my eyelashes are being stubborn for straightness.  The drugstore mascaras somewhat work on my eyelashes until like three hours later it disappears and forgets to hold the curl.  With this new mascara, it holds my curl and will stay on for the whole day.  The only set back is it costs $25 poopin dollars 0.0  

My Favorite Mascara

Item #3-5  

These three items are all Essie nail polish so I decided to group them together. Alright guys, I give kudos to my friend Olivia for introducing this wonderful nail polish.  It comes out pretty nice and smooooth without any missed lines of the nails. (Yes yes)  Pssst...one caution, this nail polish only stays on for three days then the rest are just chipping of your nails.

Item #6

The sixth and last item is my Korean inspired headband. This headband may look new to you but I finally found this in a local store.  Like, in Korea it is totally in! Hehehe, but it was love at first sight when I found these headbands at Forever 21.  I wore them today at school and thought I was going to be critizied but my friends actually liked it.  Thanks guys:)

I look too happy
