OMG I haven't blogged in ages! I'll tell you why, I started making videos on YouTube and most of the time I'm crazy busy so videos work much better, but today on a slow Friday night, I finally get to blog (: Oh also I have a tumblr so, I'll put links for both of those things at the end of this post. But anyway, I'm going to jump right on into my favorites because I have quite a few.
Okay so right now, my favorite artists are Gabrielle Aplin and Roy Kim, they kind of make my life (:
Roy Kim- So Roy Kim is Korean, and this song is in Korean as well. He has a really nice mellow feel that sounds a lot like Busker Busker ( another Korean group). Its music that reminds me of a summer afternoon, reading your favorite book cough* The Iron Fey, and drinking a nice cup of tea, if that makes sense. Its acoustic and his voice is like heaven.
My Favorite Song by Roy Kim:
Bom Bom Bom -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k3-BDy55tq4&list=PLz00mSbFCxO6Fpnngxl86Ymkpwc2fXqlt
Gabrielle Aplin- If you love Ed Sheeran, you're going to love Gabrielle. The lyrics to her songs are so pretty and impacting. Her voice is like perfect and her music has a nice crisp feel to it. I really enjoy this artist not only for her talent, but because she has a great vibe as well.
My Favorite Song by Gabrielle Aplin:

Skinfood Facial Ice Vita Mist- This is my favorite toner/mist. I love it sooooooo much! Okay, so if you couldn't tell from all my previous posts, I love everything Korean. So a couple a months ago I came across this and I have been using it religiously ever since. It provides a cooling effect on the skin and it feels very refreshing.
The Claims:
So this whole Ice Vita line is supposed to have come from pure glacier water that naturally has alkalescent enriched with oxygen, potassium ( K (; oh chemistry), calcium, magnesium, and other beneficial minerals. Good enough for me! Also it cools and re hydrates dry dressed skin (check) with Vitamins a,b,c, and e complex and Alaskan glacier water. Don't ask me how they got glacier water from Alaska to Korea, but if I had to guess, I'd say that they send some extractors up there and take chunks out of a polar bears home (it's okay, it's not big chunks) and put it in a cooler with ice packs (oh the irony) and ship it by boat keeping it at the bottom so it stay cool, all the way to S. Korea. Hahaha yup.
Anyway, I love this product it totally is a boost for my skin and doesn't break me out, so I really enjoy it. Plus the packaging is so hipster.
Out of all my BB creams, This one is my favorite. And trust me, for me to find the perfect BB cream takes a lot of work. This little sucker is one of my holy grail products. So why do I love it so much? Well, because it has everything I love and need in it. Lets go over the claims and then I'll continue my rave.
The Claims (and the truth):
- UV Protection from SPF 35
- Hydrating
- Repairing
- Soothing
- Whitening
- Softening
- Medium Coverage
- Dewy Finish
EYES:
Etude House Proof Ten Eye Primer-
This stuff is great and not just because its from my favorite country and the packaging is great. This is one of my favorite primers and reminds me a lot of the E.L.F eye primer. It has a nice smooth feel to it when you apply it to your lids. Also it keeps everything in place and is waterproof (just in case you get caught in a unexpected rainstorm or thrown in a pool).
The Claims:
- Zero Smudging
- Zero Clumping
- Improves Eye Shadow Durability
- Improves eyeshadow adhesion
- Moist and Smooth
L'oreal Paris Lacquer Liner-
That is a lot of L's in one name!! Anyway, I really enjoy this gel type formula. It is my first gel eyeliner to try out and so far, I'm loving it. I was a little iffy at first because I love my liquid eyeliner and the finish wasn't as glossy, but creamy. As time went on though, I got more and more hooked on the stuff, because it's so easy to use!~ Sometimes I totally forget that I have liquid eyeliner because I'm constantly reaching for this little guy.
The Claims:
- Its supposed to last for 18 hours (not like I'm actually going to be wearing it for that long)
LIPS:
Clinique Different Lipstick in Think Bronze-
Okay so the only reason why I have clinique is because it was my grandma's favorite brand , so after she died, I inherited some of her makeup, and that included an empty lipstick container of this good stuff. I swatched the color to see if I had any interest in it and believe me, I did (; It was such a pretty burnt pink kind of color that I had to get my hands on a fresh one. To say that I love it is an understatement.
It has a really nice golden lustre to it and it goes on so nicely I just had to add it to my favorites.
Well that's it folks! I really hope you all enjoyed and if you did, to check out my tumblr and my YouTube channel. I'll probably be doing a tutorial for Miss A's Hush tomorrow, so be looking forward to pictures and a video on my channel! Have a great day and Happy December!!
