Bobbi Brown Haul!

It's so chic and black I love Bobbi Brown! I bought these at some make-up store at the Aurora Outlets.

First is the Long-wear Gel Eyeliner Set ($29.50 USD)
It comes with 2 gel eyeliners (black + a shimmery slate color), a small brush, and a sample eye makeup remover.

As always, here's the ingredients! Click to view larger!

The brush is not bad. But I don't really use it. I use another eyeliner brush that I have. It's nice that it has a cap, though! Makes it a lot more portable. c:

In the set, I got #1 Black Ink (below) and # 15 Graphite Shimmer (not shown). They both come with 3 grams of product, which is not bad. I believe that these eyeliners are priced at about $22 separately... so this boxed set was a steal! c:

I know this eyeliner is highly raved about, but I don't know about it. I have super oily lids and after about 2 hours, it did transfer to my bottom lid.... T___T I found that it lasted SO MUCH longer if I set it with translucent powder. If I use a black shadow... that would transfer too.... I haven't tried it with a primer yet though. It lasted so much longer on my hand! I think my eyelids are oilier than my hands....

I would say that the color is pretty black though. And really creamy. In my honest opinion, I'd say it's more of a mix between a gel and cream liner texture!

 It's a little hard to see, but this eye-makeup remover is a dual phase remover. This means that it has a water based phase and an oil based phase. It's pretty common to see these types of remover lately because most waterproof make-up is of the non-polar type. Little chemistry lesson! (Yo I am a chemist! ;) ) But to make it waterproof/ resistant, they make the make-up more non-polar because then it's less easily solvated by the polar water molecules. And because likes dissolves likes. Therefore, nonpolar makeup is less easily dissolved by water. Ie waterproof/ resistant. This is why it's good to use oils (or nonpolar things) to dissolve this nonpolar makeup! Likes dissolves likes! c: Hehe.

I also picked up the Corrector in Light to Medium Bisque ($15.00 USD)!

Ok. Is anyone else this stupid? I was trying to buy a concealer and somehow ended up buying the corrector?! LOL. I don't really have heavy dark under eye circles and this place was pretty far away, so I gave this to my friend. c: She seems to like it though! I tried it on in the store and I was wondering why the coverage of the concealer was so light... fail..... >< BUT. I'd say this picture is pretty true to color (on my display at least) and that's pretty close to my tone!? Maybe I'm more pink than yellow? Asian fail D:

 Hope you enjoyed! Sheepy out~! <3
ALSO. I know it's not as talked about, but my friend picked up a lipstick from Bobbi Brown in Old Hollywood and she really likes it. And she's a lipstick fanatic. I think you'll be seeing a lot more from Bobbi Brown from me~ ;)

HAUL from Banana Republic Outlet!

Hehe. I'm getting older, so I'm buying more mature clothes?! What?! ;D I'll try not to talk too much because I don't want this post to be too long.... but.... hehe :p This was all purchased at the Banana Republic Outlet at Aurora Premium Outlets.

Black "Summer" Flat - $29.99
I would NOT recommend these if you're the type of person to kick yourself when you walk.... like your ankles rub together? Mine do and I was bleeding by the end of the night... Maybe if I break them in longer? I don't know. But they hurt.... but so cute..... T_____T

Color Tip Wedge in Galaxy Blue - $15.97 (Originally $59.99)
I LOVE the gold accents on Banana Republic shoes! Love love love~ <3 They make my legs look sooo good! Hehe.

 Hehe. You can literally see that my mirror is dusty....Gahhhhhh ><;; And please notice my wonky eye that I just noticed... we get no sleep yo! D:

Button Racerback Tank - $12.49 (Originally $24.99)

Yup. I bought this TOP to wear as a dress (with leggings) I'm that short. I'm 5'1'' if you were wondering.... Gah. Too bad I'm past the age where you grow taller. ;( It ended too soon.... ALSO. I know you can't tell from this picture, but the fabric of this shirt is SO SOFT. You get what you pay for. You can definitely tell the quality of these clothes are so much better than Forever21 and stuff.

Graphic Tee - $9.97 USD (Originally $24.99)

I like to wear this with the front tucked in because I'm so short. Also! Almost forgot to mention, but I got this in a size Medium because I wanted the oversized look! c:<3

Petite Blouse in Navy - $22.99 (Originally $49.99)
Remember when I said that the other shirt was so soft....? OMG. This shirt is the softest thing ever! It feels so nice against the skin.... T____T <3 It clings to your curves pretty well, too. <3 It makes me feel so mature. I thought that was pretty pricey for what it is... but it was just so soft I couldn't say no.... I don't know how I can wash it though D;

Left is just plain shirt and right is how I would style it. If I was going for a more formal look, I'd wear a pencil skirt, but I don't really have a nice one yet... working on it..... :/

 Scalloped edges are super cute! c;

Blue Sweater with Button Detail - $34.99 (Original price :( )

A simple boat neck sweater with button detailing. I got this in a size small so that it's a little oversized in case I want to do an off the shoulder look. I actually love wearing this sweater with a white skirt and some knee high boots for fall. So feminine! c:

Two Pocket Military Shirt in Navy - $29.99 (Originally 59.99)
My favorite out of everything. 'nuff said.

That's Mr. BunBun on my bed! Hehe~ This actually came in a red and a cream color, but the cream was so friggen see through?! I hate it when its like that :/

Anyways! Hope you liked! Sheepy out~! 

Review: TonyMoly Petite Bunny Gloss Bar #6

Angry bunny stick is angry! Rawrawrarawr! >:D
...
Hehe. Sorry. Anyways, I know I've been posting a lot more personal stuff lately... but I'm back at my beauty reviews~ Hehe. This time I have for you a new "lip gloss/ balm" from Tony Moly in #6 Orange. There are 9 colors in total. I actually bought this one because I saw it on Beautifymeeh's youtube. I'm a fan~ :'p

PRICE: (4.5/5) I picked this up from ebay for $5.92 USD + shipping. I don't know how expensive it is in Korea, but probably cheaper. =3=  But not bad for a tinted lip balm in my opinion. Also, I just checked the same seller, and I guess the price has risen, but here's the link:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/6-Juicy-Orange-Tonymoly-Tony-Moly-Petite-Bunny-Lip-Gloss-Lipstick-2g-/150822322385?pt=US_Makeup_Lips&hash=item231db600d1

PACKAGING: (5/5) OMG. I'm totally someone who is sold by cute packaging... which is why I love TonyMoly or Asian cosmetics in general. It's just too cute! The bunny concept is not new to TonyMoly but I think its completely adorable how each color has its own personality. Why the orange one is angry... I do not know.

COLOR: (3.5/5) Ok. So the color of the packaging is NOT the actual color of the lip balm. I was completely confused by that because the packaging looks a lot more pink than orange. But I assure you (and you can see from the swatch) the lip balm is a nice coral-y /orange color. It does have some nice shimmers, but I'd say that they are pretty finely milled because you don't really notice that when you're actually wearing it. It just gives it a nice shine. As for the color on your lips, it turns out to be more pink than you would expect! I don't know if my lips are super pigmented, but the color is pretty pink. More like the color of the container than the swatch I showed you.

CONCLUSION: (3.75/5) Aside from the adorable packaging, there are some downfalls to this. I would say that it is definitely less hydrating than your average lipbalm. Also, when you wear it, it completely and totally emphasizes the cracks in your lips. So if you do wear it, you HAVE to have already nicely moisturized lips or maybe use a lip scrub or something like that. It's really terrible on my dry, chapped lips... The product just builds up in the cracks of your lips.... T____T (That's why there is no picture of my lips. LOL) But I do kinda like the color and if your lips are nice and scrubbed, it does look really nice. Just maybe not so good for people with drier lips? I don't know. ><

As for lasting power, it lasts as long as lip balm. I don't really wear lipstick or anything like that so I can't compare, but yea, as long as regular lipbalm like Burt's Bees tinted lipbalms or something? (ie around 1-2 hours).

There is some transfer seen when eating or drinking stuff. One time, I was drinking bubble tea with this on... and I was wondering where this orange-y red stuff on the straw was coming from... it was the lip gloss. ;D
It wears nicely though. Not blotty or anything so yea~ c:

It has a really overwhelming sweet orange scent that lasts for a little bit after you put it on. If you're the type of person who doesn't like heavily scented products... probably shouldn't try most Korean drug store lipglosses/ balms then. Sorry! For me, it doesn't really taste like anything either!

The one thing that I despise the most, though, is that ONCE YOU WIND IT UP, YOU CANNOT WIND IT BACK DOWN!! So be careful!! T_____T

Also, this is pretty hard to get your hands on since it is a Korean item. I don't even remember seeing it in Korea this past summer? But then again, I wasn't really looking for it. ><

Also, Also. Here's a picture of the other others in case you were wondering! I might try #5 Pitch next because it looks adorable~

Review: Etude House Collagen Moistful Firming Eye Cream

Hey guys! I have yet another review for you! But this one is going to be really quick because I'm lazy. =3=;; This beauty was actually found through a sample I had gotten from an online purchase. 

It's the Etude House: Collagen Moistful Firming Eye Cream! c:

I picked this up at one of the Etude stores in Myeongdong when I was in Korea last summer.

PRICE: I couldn't find the recipe but I believe it's priced at 16000 won (or about $15 USD) for 25mL of product. Not too bad. But I was quite upset to find out that in the Lotte Department stores, in the duty free sections you can find it for about $10 USD? I think I remember. I just remember it was cheaper... -_- And don't worry, pretty sure for the lower brands you don't have to pick up the products at the airport. But I may be wrong so don't quote me on that. But def check out the Lotte Duty Free~ :D

CLAIMS:

"Eye cream moisturizes, tightens and protects the delicate eye area with Baobab Tree extract and Collagen to smooth fine lines and wrinkles and improve look."

Note, it's pretty nice to actually see those things in the ingredients! ;D

As you can see, it's in a tub. I normally use a clean spatula thingy to scrap some on the lid and use that.

TEXTURE: It's really more of a mixture of a cream and a gel, which is really nice for my oily-combination skin. c: It soaks in really easily, and quickly (like within seconds!) leaving your eyes really moisturized! I also use it on my laugh lines and other dry spots around the face. A nice tip, eye cream, not just for the eyes!

SCENT: I quite like this smell! It's more of a really clean, fresh, lemon-y scent! Really refreshing! But it is heavily scented, so I don't know how it will do on people with sensitivities to added fragrances.

CONCLUSION: I really like this eye cream! I know I'm only in my early 20s, but it's good to get a head start on those eye wrinkles.... Did you know women start aging at 25?! D: Freaking ridiculous, but whatever, I have my eye cream ready! >:o But because of this, I cannot really say anything about it's firming claims. But I actually think it may. This may sound weird, but when I was taking that swatch picture, the eye cream was actually making that spot tingle? So maybe working it's magic? Hehe. I don't know. BUT. I can say that it does leaves your eyes feeling nice and moisturized. I can really tell the difference when I don't put it on.... My eyes just look so much more... blah.... D:

I would definitely repurchase this product in the future. I think I've fallen for all gel-ish products! <3
This line is actually pretty good I think. I've heard a lot of good things about it!

If you didn't know, Etude House is under Innisfree and Amore Pacific in Korean Skincare (in that order: lowest -> higher end). Kinda like how Loreal is the more drugstore brand of the higher end brand Lancome. c:

First Ever Ulta Haul!!

Hi. My name is Stephanie and I'm a blush addict. D: I don't know why, but I find myself always picking up new blushes.... I think I found my favorite type of make-up. Hehe~

If you've ever been to Japan, I find that a lot of the girls just pile on the blush! Surprisingly, I really quite like that dolly look! I think that may be why I love blush so much. Because I have to pile it on. ;D

Anyway~ On to the haul!

Smashbox Blush in Flush - $24 USD (3.7g)

This was my first ever high end product that I bought for myself! Sure I've been gifted some high end stuff, or my Mommie bought me some before, but this is the first one I ever bought for myself. Milestone here. :p

A beautiful tinkled pink with silver glitter. I'd say that it's soft and finely milled, but the glitters make the texture a little harder. As I said before, I'm in love with dolly pink blushes at the moment so I had to pick this one up. I'd image it would look amazing on all you pale girls out there~! I'm not so pale, though. ;D This one was kind of an impulse buy though. I was originally going for the Tarte Amazonian Clay Blush, but the saleslady pushed me to this one. I'm like the perfect customer because I get pressured into buying stuff so easily.... now I have to go back and try to pick up the Tarte blush though... ;D You'd think this one is cheaper than the Tarte one (which is $25?) but it's a lot smaller in size... -n-

NYX Cosmestics - Blushes $5.99 USD ea. (4g)

My first time at Ulta means my first time trying out NYX! I'm not much of an eye shadow person yet, so I'll start this off with more blush! ;D I'm sold already. Amazing quality for amazing price~

left to right: Rose Garden (PB26) and Mocha (PB01)

Rose Garden is a nice true hottish pink with gold glitters. Super gorgeous! Not so much of that natural look though, but that's not really what I go for. ;D Mocha is more of a Mauve-y, brownish reddish color that does give you more of a natural flush. I hear a lot of good things about this blush, which is why I decided to try it out. Let me say, this blush is so finely milled and soft it's amazing for the price! I couldn't believe how soft it was at first; however, Rose Garden is not as soft; probably because of the glitter chunks, though.

(left to right: Rose Garden, Mocha)

NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in 604, Milk $4.49 USD

Again, another highly raved about product that I just had to try out. 

(left to right: Rose Garden (NYX), Mocha (NYX), Flush (Smashbox), Milk (NYX))

Sorry for the change of background, my iPhone died so I was charging it when I took this, hence it's over my bed where my iPhone charger is plugged in. ;D Now you can see them all together~ I can't wait to try out flush. It's so pretty! 

 Palladio Rice Powder in Translucent - $4.99 USD (17g)

Actually, I picked this one up because I do remember my mom using this before in the past~ I don't remember if she liked it or not, but I thought I'd try it out again~ The packaging, from back in my mother's days, has since changed I believe? I wanted to try a cheaper translucent powder before I went ahead and tried some more expensive ones just to see if I liked adding that extra step in~ Probably won't use that puff though... it seems quite cheap. D:

I also picked up the Grape Seed Peel off Masque and Mint Clay Mask from Queen Helene for the fun of it (~$3.99 USD ea) so look forward to my thoughts on those!Thanks for reading!
Sheepy out~ <3

Nerdy Frames from Baby Phat

So the story goes~ my father's name is actually Phat. ;D

It's not pronounced the same way as Baby Phat though. It's not like "fat" more like "fa-at." If you get what I mean. Anyways, when I learned about the brand Baby Phat, I thought it was the most hilarious thing ever since it has my Dad's name in it. :////D Hehe. It means, high end or luxurious in whatever Asian I am.... I'm guessing Vietnamese. Sorry, Viet and Canto sound the same to me so I get confused, but it's one of those two. D:

But you don't need to know that. ;D

My new glasses are from Baby Phat. 

I picked them up from America's Best Contacts and Eyeglasses since my cousin works for them so I got mine for super cheap~ ;)

They are originally priced at $129.99 for the frames only. 

What I love most about these glasses are that they have the large, nerdy black frames that I so adore. But they also have that pop of hot pink that's really spunky and cute! <3 You'd think that the pink would be a little much, but when you're wearing them, you hardly see it! It's like this small accent that just makes the frames so amazing~! <3 I was looking for larger black frames than I had originally had because the frames tended to cover my eyes. Larger frames will make your face look smaller! :D

The sides have a snake-ish/ alligator-ish pattern with the designer tag in a matte silver. I'm so fashionable. ;D

Hehehe~ I kid~ ;D

Here's how they look on me:

Up close:

 (hehe~ playing with le webcam on my bed when I was super bored.... D:)

Farther away:

(at fancy 21st birthday party, with my friend Janice)

You can learn more about the place I got them here: http://www.twopair.com/

ALSO. Pro tip~ make sure not to sleep with your glasses on! I'm overworked so sometimes I nap with mine on and they've since bent out of shape... they don't fit me anymore! D: I have to go them them adjusted because they're falling off every 5 seconds... yea, just fyi. :(

Sheepy out~ <3
