I'm studying at the University of the Philippines Diliman taking up BS Interior Design. I'm addicted to anything Korean! Korean Cosmetics are my major splurges. I love Kpop (2ne1, Shinee and SECRET bias because they are awesome) and Kdramas. Ultimate Kidol crushes: Choi Minho, Lee Seung Gi and Lee Min Ho!~

Annyong haseyo!!! Have you heard of Dream High? Well if you are a Kpop addict and you haven’t, you’re missing out a lot! XD DO WATCH it! Especially to those residing in the Philippines because it’s being aired during weekdays at ABS CBN after PBB. It’s a Korean Drama filled with superstars like Suzy Bae of Miss A, IU, Eun Jung of T-ara, Kim Soo Hyun, 2pm’s hottest Taecyeon and Wooyoung! (Not to mention a lot of KPOP superstar cameos!! ~ahem Kim Hyung Joong, 2am, Miss A)
I was particularly beginning to be a fan girl of Suzy Bae a.k.a Go Hye Mi because of her character. She’s strong and witty! I love how she comments on other characters on the drama, even though they are mean XD Funny, but mean :))
So today’s GetStyle Makeup Tutorial would be about Go Hye Mi’s look!
The look is very natural and could be called the ‘No Makeup Makeup’.
It’s very light because they are just high school students (well not the ordinary kind, considering the fact that they are training to become a Kpop Idol Star someday)
Let’s get started!~
For the face, I would be using 1. Nature Republic’s By Flower BB Cream in no.2; For the cheeks I’ll be using 2. Etude House’s Peach Cheek Blusher in no.3 Happy Pink.
1. Etude House Soft Touch Auto lipliner no.1; 2. Etude House Dear Darling Lip Tint no.2; 3. Maybelline Baby Lips Relieving Menthol; 4. Etude House Fresh Cherry Tint Pink.
1. Etude House Eye Shadow Brush; 2. Etude House Orgel Light Shadow Brush; 3. Nature Republic Pretty Tree Wood Eyeliner in Brown or 4. Etude House Styling Eye Liner Black; 5. Etude House Drawing Eye brow no.2; 6. Tony Moly Simply Style Slim Mascara Curling.
1. Etude House Eyelash Curler; 2. Etude House LucidDarling Gradation Eyes Miss Tangerine; 3. Etude House Petit Darling Eyeshadow in Beige.
From the Miss Tangerine Palette we will be using the black shadow liner only :)
After putting on bb cream~ start with a neutral color eyeshadow base, I used Etude House Petit Darling Eyeshadow and applied it all over my lids.
I used a brown eye liner, Pretty Tree Wood Eyeliner, to line my upper lash line. Try to line as closest to the lash line as possible. Start from the inner corners moving outward.
Remember to NOT wing it upward but instead to wing it downwards.
It should look as natural as possible~
You could opt to use a black eye liner if you prefer but based on Go Hye Mi’s makeup it looks like the makeup artist choose to get a dark brown color.
Using black eye shadow and a fine shadow brush, use black from the palette and the Orgel Light Eyeshadow brush, refine the color by overlapping the brown eyeliner with black eyeshadow and trace the line.
Annyong haseyo!!! :> I am Eggcited to share about this product from Tony Moly called Egg Pore Blackhead Out Oil Gel! :) whoah, such a long name XD I got this last last semester which means it would be almost a year after buying this :)
According to http://www.tonymoly.com.sg :
Containing Egg elements and Magic capsules which remove dead skin cells and excessive sebum. The oil gel effectively purifies the whiteheads, blackheads, excessive sebum and trapped dirt in the deep pores. Pore trouble care solution helps to purify the skin, manages dead skin cells, provide nutrients and protects skin from further damages. It also improves various skin troubles with its unique lightweight jelly-like texture and helps to keep skin looking clean and clear. Camellia Flower extract soothe and calms the skin.
To get the product you just have to twist open the ‘egg’ and you’ll see a yellow cap which you’ll have to pull to open.
Oh!!! Be careful not to exert so much power when opening!!!! The first time I opened mine, the product spilled out because the yellow cap was flexible that it could actually get in the tub @,@
Just because of this yellow cap, I hated the packaging! It’s super cute yet it is such a fail, I wish that this yellow thingy was hard and not rubber like maybe spillage won’t happen…
Photo taken from:http://www.misshong.com
This is what the product looks like! It is a clear gel with a hint of grey and has yellow beads. The scent is citrus like~
A whole egg contains 30 ml of product which is plenty! It lasted for one year with 2 times regular usage every week! Good thing too! Because it expires a year after opening :)
Annyong haseyo!! :D I’m back!~ Fresh from Davao kekeke~ Today I’m going to share about the new products that Tony Moly recently launched!
I was invited to attend the Tony Moly Spa Escape last April 25 but… I was in Davao from April 23 to 27. Anyhoo~
The event was held at The Suriya Spa at Pasig City :) Omo it is near our place >,<
Guests were treated with delicious looking snacks :)
Nom Nom~ Looks so yummy!
The guests were also treated with a mani-pedi! :> I’m guessing that this is Ms. Carriza’s hand (kekeke~ the ring looks really familiar!)
Now onto the new skincare lines!
1. Timeless EGF
Annyong haseyo! Tony Moly’s Mask Sheet Pack: Invite you to Magic Forest! Natural for your life. For today’s review it will be about Tony Moly’s Mask Sheet Pack Houttuynia Cordata :) I got this from Tony Moly’s sale :>
No english descriptions @.@ so I searched that net for more information about Houttuynia Cordata :) Here’s what I found from Global Healing Center:
Organic Dokudami (Houttuynia cordata) is a strong component of our Detox Foot Pads. It has a long history in healing as well as cooking. It is a powerful Eastern herb that is gaining in popularity in Western naturopathic medicine. It’s gaining more acceptance, too, as the research continues to bear out Dokudami’s positive effects.
Dokudami is also known a ‘Houttuynia cordata’, which translates from Chinese as ‘fishy-smell herb’. It is a flowering plant that grows across many Asian countries, including Japan, Korea, southern China and Southeast Asia.
Dokodami grows largely in darker, moister areas. The plant is an herb and is also perennial, meaning that it blooms and grows in all seasons. It grows in many areas and quickly, found on hills, fields, in asphalt crack, etc. It is known as the ‘fishy-smell herb’ because when you press its leaves it produces a smelly odor, which has been likened to the smell of fish. In fact, for this reason in Vietnam it is called ‘fish mint’. Because of Organic Dokudami’s unique smell, it can be found quite early on in medicinal records in early Asian history.
*the mask does not smell like fish ;)
Happy Easter Egg Hunting everybody!!! <3 This is my decorated Egg Pore for Tony Moly~ kekeke I call this the ‘Aegyo Egg’ :>
Moisturizing cream that regenerates pimple scars & cures infected pimples. Breakout care essence that contains bee-venom.Bee venom:

I had a little shopping on the side too XD
Bought some items from a new korean brand (for me :>) which does not have a branch here in the Philippines!~ Baviphat! endorsed by f.t. island!
Cool name :) This is a sleeping pack! To be used at night before going to bed :D
Annyong haseyo! :D Today’s review will be about a mask I bought from Tony Moly’s sale :) It’s their Hanbang Mask Sheet Pack Red Ginseng! :) I got this because I wanted to try a mask that has Ginseng in it!~ Korea is also known for their ginseng :D
It improves blood flow, detoxifies and improves skin elasticity.
This Hanbang mask pack effectively makes the Hanbang (Korean traditional herbal) ingredients penetrate into the skin and maintain moisture in the skin for a long time.
Annyong haseyo! A lipstick is most definitely the product which all girls know (even if you don’t wear it, I know you know what a lipstick is!~ kekeke) But I don’t really like wearing lipstick on normal days, but of course when there are special occasions I do wear them. Omo! But I have a problem! The cracks on my lips ~,~ show whenever I wear lipstick ~.~ Today’s review will be about Tony Moly’s Kiss Kiss Lip Scrub!
*Packaging is LOVE <3 :> it is as interesting as the product name!
It comes sealed with circular clear tape~
There is no box included, to check the description you’ll have to flip/’open’ the sticker at the bottom :)
Regular peeling with grain containing scrub makes soft lips without irritating to your skin.
The Peeling Grain scrub contains vegetable scrub for the effective peeling while the Honey- contains ideal nutrient such as vitamin, protein, mineral, aromatic substance and amino acid.
To open~ You have to twist the lips! :)
It has 2 lids! Assurance that the product will not get out :)
The creamy consistency of the product matched with the tiny beads is so effective! The scent reminds me of peaches <3 Does not taste bad too! (Though you must not eat this XD)
Howto Use:
hello! ang alam ko libre yung candle if you buy a cake from them :D but I just don’t know if they sell it separately~ You could still ask them at their fanpage :D
Annyong haseyo! :D I’ve already answered this~
Yup!~ Yes but only eye shadows :D
OMO!! @.@ Already forgot because I got mine last last year!!
None yet! But I hope they have more branches!! :D
Sorry~ have not used any cleansing oils yet~
Have not tried any bb creams from the face shop yet :)
Already answered this one too! :)
Lip Liner (Etude House P 98), BB Cream (Nature republic, Tony Moly and Etude House P 300 to 1000+)~ You could check out their website! It’s all written there! :D
When you purchase 1000 pesos single receipt of products :D
Oh~ I use Etude House’s Essence Concealer~ I just use a tiny amount after putting on bb cream :) Try using a lip concealer :)
Annyong haseyo! :D A BEEsy week ahead of us! kekeke and today’s review will be about Tony Moly’s Cottony Essence Sheet Mask in Manuka Honey!
Irritation-free sheet mask made of 100% Pure cotton locks essential hydration on face that lasts long.
Invigorating Manuka Honey- Honey extract moisturizes
Goddess Style!~ Maybe this is called goddess style because it can cover up the whole face~~ now including the… tantararan!!! EYES!!! <3
Annyong haseyo! :> For tonight’s review it’ll be one of Tony Moly’s famous products! It’s their Appletox :) I got this as a prize last year when I answered their simple question ‘why I want to have one’ :D kamsa hamnida Tony Moly Ph!
OMO! It really is the same size with a real apple :> So fascinated on how proportional it is! :D
Super glad that I got this because I just love apples <3 :>
Quick Tip! If you want to have brighter skin~ Exfoliate! :)
It contains keratin extracted from green apple, papaya and other fresh vegetables to provide moisture and to better eliminate waste and clean up old skin cells.
The active fruit acids contained in green apples eliminate cuticles in pores, allowing the skin to have more effective absorption of the nutrients provided by masks and other daily skin care products.The keratin extract of papaya leaves the skin fresh, transparent and clean.

Hi Erika~ I’ve been an avid reader of your blog for quite sometime now, and your reviews convinced me to go and try EH products. I’m not a girly-girl by nature and I usually avoid anything pink. EH is just so PINK and GIRLY that I had doubts about going in. haha. Anyway, I’m an EH lover now, because of you. Now I’m thinking of visiting Tony Moly. Can you suggest good products from that store? And links to reviews, if you’ve done any? (tamad mag-back read, sorry XDD) Much love~♥♥
Hello! Wow thank you avid reader :> kekeke~ I am glad to spread my love for Etude :) Tony Moly is much sleeker and a lot less girly~ :) oh the products I do recommend are: Appletox Massage Cream (the green one), Kiss Kiss Lip Scrub, Lovely Slim Lip Stick Berry Berry, Nose Strips both the Charcoal and Tea Tree variant, Simply Style Curling Mascara, Clean Dew Lemon Seed Massage Cream, their masks Acerola and Green Tea<3

Annyeong! (^_^)/ ~ I soooo love your blog, very informative and cute! hoho. Baek Ayeon of KPop Star reminds me so much of you! Can you also sing? She’s so good and so cute when she smiles~ One of my faves! hohoho.
Annyong haseyo! Thank you <3 kekeke~ oh I don’t know her ~.~ I do sing! but my voice is not good waha I sing off tune most of the time :))

hi! which do you like better, the nature republic by flower or etude house bb cream? ^^
Can’t tell~ will have to test out the nature republic by flower bb cream more~
Anon5
have you used nose patches or can you recommend nose patches that are effective?
nose patches? do you mean nose strips? :) I recommend Bench’s nose strips, tony moly and beauty credit nose strips :)
Annyong haseyo! Another stressful week passed :> And to reward myself I went to the mall and shopped XD Tony Moly’s Valentine Sale was right on time! <3 Can you guess what I bought? kekeke~
*on the side note, I really like the sales ladies in Tony Moly SM North :) Especially the one who assisted me~ (omo forgot to get her name but she was really pretty :D) She waited patiently for me and carried all the products I kept on getting~ She also was not too eager/ some SAs keep on forcing products I do not want @.@ sometimes I don’t want the SAs to talk to me too because I get intimidated and can’t focus on the products XD
Anyhoo~ back to the items I got! :D 3 masks for 58.80 pesos each :D these were at 40% off originally priced at 98 pesos each :> (L~R) Hanbang Mask Sheet Pack Red Ginseng, Mask Sheet Pack Houttunia Cordata, Cottony Essence Sheet Mask Manuka Honey.
The SA pointed politely that the Manuka Honey mask was really great (out of all the masks there, it’s the only one she suggested!) and because I’m interested to try some Honey skincare products I decided to get it :)
I wanted to get more masks!!! But because I have better self-control now I ended up having only these three in my skincare stash :)
