Android Battle: Samsung Galaxy Young La Fleur vs HTC Explorer

image

Annyeong haseyo!!! Wazzup wazzup!!! Tonight I’ll be doing a comparative review, not about makeup XD, but about android phones :D I’m no techie, I’m actually WAY WAY WAY FAR BEYOND OVER THE MOUNTAINS AND SEAS FROM BEING A GADGET WIZARD :))) but I am a consumer and I’ll be voicing out my opinions about these android babies :D

image

My daddy bought me this HTC Explorer because someone stole my Samsung Galaxy Pocket… And this was an ‘impulsive’ buy, bought this the same day my phone got stolen. I was persuaded into buying this htc phone cause my brotha always brags about his and the Sales lady at HTC said so many nice things about it~ like: “You could play Temple Run 2 here!”

Here’s a photo^ of the provided specs written at the back of the box :D

image

Now here’s the provided specs written at the side of the box~ Well Samsung made it really short which is not attractive to techie people :)) I imagine it being a description for a beauty product. The more descriptions provided, the happier I am! Maybe they wanted it short and direct!

image

TADAAA!~ The htc Explorer looks really really smart, business like and so sleek!~ It also looks soooo expensive!!! Omo~ sexy sleek polish!!!

image

And here’s a brand new Samsung Galaxy Young La Fleur, looking so girly and pretty~

image

The flower details really is so feminine!~ The faded periwinkle against white :> so PURDY!!!

image

Of course the sleek~ness of the htc explorer doesn’t just stop!~ THe back design is ever so polish with metal engraving to complete the look!

image

I’ve had this for almost 6 weeks and because of it’s unique rubber like material for the backing I don’t need to buy any protective cases!~

image

GIRLY MUCH?~ :D I hope the design will not fade over time!~ XD The plastic material of the backing of this Samsung Galaxy Young La Fleur feels weak, so every time I had to open it up I place extra care~

image

The HTC Explorer is thicker and shorter than the thinner and longer Samsung Galaxy La Fleur~

image

What I like about HTC is that its Icons look so professional and just.. SLEEK & POLISHED! I think I’l keep on repeating those words when describing htc cause it is what it is~

KPOP Music Pick: 2Yoon, Hello Venus, 9Muses

image

4minute’s sub group 2Yoon! Gayoon and Jiyoon! <3 I totally love 4minute! Ever since I’ve seen them perform live about 3 years ago (^-^) I became their fan :D Seeing them perform live was really a worthwhile experience because of their charisma and connection with the audience! And hearing about this sub group made me happy because finally I could listen to a piece of 4minute (oh~ 2 pieces I mean XD) 24/7 kinda reminds me of Miley’s Hoedown Throw down song :) It’s not a bad thing because 24/7 & Hoedown Throw down are equally good and up beat!

Etude House: Color Me Nude Lip Concealer!~

image

Color me happy~ color me nude! Today’s review is about a birthday gift that my favorite college friends got me (last June)! <3 Thank you so much! And now you’re the one celebrating!! <333 HAPPY BDAY JENICA! You are now a woman~ kekeke

image

A very interesting product right? :D :D In the Philippines, I think Etude House is the only store selling a lip concealer? (Are there others? Please tell me below ;D)

image

This lip concealer even outs the redness in lips, creating a smooth and neutral surface for long-lasting lip expression.

image

The box is really cute <3 Etude House knows how to please us~ (even with just a box!)

image

Here’s how the lip concealer looks like :D There’s a peach print on it! (I think this lip concealer was a very old release~~ But good thing it’s still available!!!)

image

The packaging is made of great plastic material! It feels nice on hand and it doesn’t feel cheap~ Simple with a hint of peachy butt^ XD

image

New year, new day, new kpop single from SNSD! They released it today (watch it by clicking the photo above^ ;D) and I must say~ I like it! New concept for them taking on the edgy, funky, colorful, gangsta style that I love!

image

The start of the mv…~ let’s you enter their very pink pink girly room! <333 Ahh I love it’s in your face pink that screams out from my laptop screen~~

image

^As a future interior designer~ I must always check the quality of the furniture~~ and I think the vanity is not that well made XD take a closer look on the corners~~ >,<

image

I think it’d be super fun to have a slumber party here! Do nail arts and apply hair color! :))

image

Director shouts~ Everybody throw something! I would not want to be standing next to Hyoyeon XD A hair blower is a very hard object indeed…

image

My favorite Damask pattern all over the walls!!! <333 After having a nice look at a girly room~ They’ll take you out on the streets!!

image

Gangsta on!~ Swag!

image

I really love their background, hair, clothes and everything! If I was super duper kaduper rich~ I will buy their outfits!!! Especially Seohyun’s bling bling rubber shoes!!! (Watch out for the part where the boy will tie her shoe laces~~)

image

This is super my style!!! <3 The colorful style is such a wonderful fresh thing for SNSD!

*This is my favorite part for Taeyeon! She does not only shows that she has singing prowess but she also showed how awesome a dancer she is~

TONY MOLY my unpleasant visit!~

image

Annyeong haseyo!!!~ Time for an update! XD Unfortunately I was not able to come to the Tony Moly Alabang Town Center branch opening and Aqua Aura Launch because of reasons~ :« I’ve read the posts of bloggers and I got so very jelly ~.~ It would have been nice to meet fellow bloggers and Ms. Angel! </3 But to my surprise!~ Tony Moly contacted me and said that they will still be giving the press kit! So off I went to their branch at SM North~~

image

I thought it would be a very pleasant visit #.# but it did not happen @.@ Aigoo I was really happy then something terribly annoying happened and dampened my mood -.-

I asked for the press kit and they found it but then it did not have my name on it so they had to verify which I totally understand. I did not want to waste my time so I talked to the head manager and said that I would be taking photos of new releases and that I already got permission to do so from their official fanpage~ the head manager agreed and I took photos~ While taking a photo of the Aqua Aura BB Cream the annoying big mouthed SA immediately shouted at the top of her lungs saying that I should not be taking a photo! OMO I was so embarrassed!!! There were customers at that time and they all looked at me @.@ I wished she just approached me and told me politely but she did not! She really yelled -.- do you have any manners? I REALLY DO NOT LIKE HER! I often visit Tony Moly’s branch at SM North and I am familiar with the faces of the SAs, I have my favorites and the big mouthed SA is the worst! She looks at the appearance of the customers and if you look like you have money to spend she’ll gladly assist you but if you’re wearing plain clothing she’ll not bother. Aigoo my heart was heavy~ and I needed to leave and cool down before I smash the camera to her face. I talked to the head manager and said I’ll just come back after they clear out things about the press kit.

image

She texted me right after and said that I could get the press kit~ When I came back yey! No big mouthed SA on sight! I was supposed to shop for things but the incident made me cranky so no, I’ll just buy the things at SM Mega. Good thing Yoochun was also there to make me a little happier~

image

Onto the new products!!!~ Cats Wink line! I think the whole cat themed makeup started with the mascaras! Now they have the whole makeup package!

image

Skin Base, Foundation, BB Cream, Compact Powder! All with a very cute cat face! XD

image

meow~ Those are glosses!!!! So pink and purrfect!

Etude House: Missing U Stay! Season 2~ Lady Bug ^^~

Missing U Stay! <33 Aigoo~ Don’t disappear~ After the success of Season 1 of the Missing U line up: uber cute Panda, Seal, Dolphin and Penguin~ Etude House released Season 2 which is about BEEing Happy :> Bees invaded the Etude House last December 2011 :)

Click the photo^ to watch the cute and sad story~

And yes, the cute handcreams were also endorsed by Shinee!~ ;D OMO! Our cellphone releases electromagnetic radiation that makes these bees dizzy~ they can’t find their way back home @.@

“Missing U, Bee Happy” consists of:

  • Hand Cream (4 Characters)- hypoallergenic formula and organic ingredients
  • Lip Care (4 Characters)- sweet fragrance and moisturizing honey
  • Facial Pack (2 Types, Overnight and Wash-Off)- honey texture, honey jar design and moisturizing honey

And here they are!~ The Missing U line up ;)

Hi~ I am Queen Bee! (Rose Fragrance)

I rule the worker bees, lay eggs and make royal jelly for the babies. The bee population is in decline and we need your help!

Hi~ I am Honey Bee! (Acacia Fragrance)

I work hard to serve the Queen and make honey for the hive. I play a vital role in reproduction of flowering plants by helping to spread pollen. Protect us, please. 

Hi~ I am Lady Bug! (Chestnut Blossom)

I can fly like my friends the bees and I protect crops from insect pests. My bee friends need protection from disease and pests.

Hi~ I am Baby Bee! (Citrus Baby Powder)

I can’t fly yet so I just hang out in the hive eating honey. But lately, more and more bees are disappearing and soon it will be hard for me to get my honey. Please help us. 

I got my Lady Bug friend when I won for having my photo taken at Etude House Robinson’s Metro East Branch! Kamsa hamnida for being so generous :>

The cute hexagonal box that houses my Lady Bug friend is filled with information! Every side had information written on it! Well done! Plus it was printed with Soy Ink~ ;D following its environmental efforts!~

Etude House: Drawing Show Creamy Liner! Power UP!!!

Wazzup!~ Today’s review is about a product that is included in Etude House Philippines’ June 2012 Press Kit! And it’s also a product that I’ve enjoyed using! :D It’s also a rather new eye make line from Etude House!~

It’s called Drawing Show Creamy Liner! I think this is their replacement for their Code B Strong Eyes Cream Liner.

Cream Eyeliner for Artistic Lines, Finish and Expression! Selling Point: Creamy textured, long-wear eyeliner supplies precise and smooth line definition for artistic freedom when drawing.

Drawing Precision! For Lines that Come to Life and Bring Energy to Eyes.

  • Drawing Show’s cream formula provides the precision of a liquid liner with a smooth, soft finish. Brush application creates long lasting, smudge-proof lines for an artistic, fade-resistant expression.
  • Comes with fine-tip brush.

[Features:]
  1. Smudge-Proof, Creamy Formula. Soft touch, smooth texture for fade resistant wear. Easy to apply brush application supplies fine lines without clumping.
  2. Easy to Correct, Eyeliner Brush. Fine brush tip draws precise, clean lines for individualized expression. Easy to use and correct, ideal for beginners.
  3. Rolling-Fit Method. Powder pressurized with rolling method to foster sheer yet dense texture and lasting wear expression resistant to oil and touch. 
I just loved how they packaged this! Two thumbs up for taking time to design even the box! :)
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, welcome to the Drawing Show! Please take a sit and let artistic freedom flow!
This is the tub which looks do very cute and funky!~ The drawing show creamy liner includes a brush so no worries for first time gel liner users ;D 
This is how the product looks when it’s freshly opened :) Creamy gel liner goodness! :D Black as black!
And here is how it looks now! :)) Used but still plenty even after six months! :)
They also indicated the name and code at the back so if ever you buy all 4 of the variants you will not have any mistake!~ Mine is BK802 Black Double-Shot! Bang Bang! XD
Unique design! Doubles as a cap and as a handle! The smallest and handiest brush I currently have! :)
Tahdaa! The cap turns into an extended handle! :) :»

This eyeliner brush has a fine tip that can draw the “artistic, precise and clean” lines you want for your eye make!~ 

They said that it’s ideal for beginners but it was a bit trickier at first for me to draw a line because the bristles are a bit softer than my previous eye liner brush. But once you get the hang of the softness you could draw effortlessly! 

Ingredients listing :) Made in Youngsan-Gu, Seoul, Korea! Expires six months after opening~~~

So let’s start the ARTISTIC FREEDOM FLOW!~ ^.^

For those who want a simple make up this is also good for that! Tight lining with this product was not a problem and it did not irritate my eyes :»>

Halloween Make: K~POP will never die!~

If last year I did a Bratz doll makeup~ This year it’ll be about my love for KPOP! XD Concept: K~pop will never die ;) Skull face and K-idol makeup fusion! :))

Thrilla~ Killa night :)) For the clothes I suggest wearing something with glitters and splatter your arms with fake blood XD

Start off with a bb cream~ :D <33 Yup Kpop idols love this! Until death do them part! :)) I used Nature Republic’s By Flower BB Cream no.2

1. Etude House Miss Tangerine Palette 2. Etude House Color Me Nude Lip Concealer 3. Etude House Drawing Show Creamy Liner

With a big eye shadow brush~ Apply black shadow all over lids also covering the eye brow part :D

Skulls don’t have eyebrows… X>

Continue putting on shadow up to the lower eye line area~ Eye sockets complete! :)

Using a gel liner outline the upper “eye socket” area and add wrinkles :)))

Skull wrinkles~ kekeke XD :)))

Etude House: Skin [magl:gem] Kit!~

I wanna be sweet!~ Malgeum!~ Annyong haseyo! Still in the Skin Malgeum craze XD 

So if you are still not aware about what Skin Malgeum is… Well it’s a Toner Line released early this year that provide clean, clear and pure complexion with moisturizing and pore cleansing formulas :D Also hypoallergenic, these toners are void of Paraben, Animal Ingredients, Benzophenone, Artificial Dyes and Mineral Oils.

I got this Skin [mal:gem] Kit from Noel :> when he won a ticket from me to go to the Etude House Playhouse! KAMSA HAMNIDA!! <333 He’s very sweet! Thank you! :D

Skin Malgeum is the Korean word for cleanness, clarity and pureness.

The Skin Malgeum Kit comes with the following :D

  • Exfoliation Toner- Smoother 15ml
  • Deep Moisture Freshener- Deep Moist 15ml
  • Facial Cotton Pads: Clear Cotton Pads (5pc)
  • Facial Cotton Pads: Soft Cotton Pads (3pc)

I hope they would be selling these mini kits in the stores like with what they did with the AC Clinic Line! That way we could personally have a test run on which Skin Malgeum would suit our skin best!

But for general knowledge the Skin Malgeum Smoother is for troubled skin while the Deep Moist is for those with very dry skin~

YEY!!~ I got to try the Skin Malgeum Cotton Pads :D Was curious but never curious enough to buy a whole box without trying (the cotton boxes were kinda expensive for me XD like 198 pesos for a few pieces #,#)

I’ve already made a review of the Skin Malgeum Smoother here so I would be focusing on how the Clear Cotton Pads + the Smoother variant fares~ :D

This cotton pad… CLEAR cotton pad is really interesting :> It has two sides!!

One side has this wave like pattern that will gently exfoliate skin~

And the other side is just a normal cotton pad side~ Plain and simple. This side is to be used on the sensitive parts of the face, like around the eyes~ ;D

Before and after! Both showing the “waves” side! After using it the waves disappeared! Even though there are waves, it did not feel like a harsh exfoliation~ Very gentle on the skin!!! The cotton pad is also made of high quality since the cotton did not tear apart :D
