KDrama: BIG (What I think about it so far)

   So ever since Summer started I've been on the look out for a new Korean drama to watch. I've watched my fair share of dramas so I get pretty picky with what I watch. I start so many dramas but I also never finish A LOT. 

   I found this drama called Big. It didn't catch my attention at first because I didn't really like the main characters. The more I read about it online, it made me want to try it out. (I actually started to watch this for Suzy and Baek Sung Hyun hehe). I didn't know the guy from Cross Gene was in it so that made me like the drama even more...

   OK so on with the drama. This one isn't flower boy based which is a change. Actually after Shin goes into a coma it took me a long time to get used to the main guy character's face. The more you watch him, the better looking he gets... I LOVE Lee Min Jung she's so pretty! The two main characters have great chemistry together. Suzy's acting has gotten a lot better since Dream High (another favorite drama). Baek Sung Hyun is hot as ever. I've been following him since Stairway to Heaven! This drama kind of reminds me of Secret Garden with the fantasy/switching bodies type of theme. 

   I haven't gotten too far into the drama yet but I'm determined to finish this one! Can't wait to find out what will happen next! (=

School?! | Tips On How to Take Care of your Face: High School Student Edition

Eek... School is coming around the corner and I'm so not prepared! School stresses me out = pimples.

I got this idea from beautyindistress.blogspot.com to talk about how to take care of you face during school time when most people are under the most stress.

1. Keep up with your skin care routine! 

• Never skip a day without doing your everyday usual routine because you are tired or stressed out because of school work. Always leave some time for yourself.

2. Meditate!

• Meditating is great for you and your skin! So take a couple minutes and just sit and clear your mind.

3. Drink lots of water!

• You should drink up to 8 glasses of water. First step to good skin is a well hydrated skin. (you really will see a difference)

4. Sun protection!

• Always put sunscreen not just on your face but your whole body. Try to at least have SPF 30. Walking to and from classes all day, you are exposed to sun. Your skin needs protection!

5. Eat healthy!

• Food at school aren't the healthiest out there! Food is a big factor in breaking out. Eating junky, greasy food is an instant trigger to pimples. So why not pack a home made healthy lunch?

6. Make up cleanliness!

• I always see my fellow classmates sharing make up and that can share bacteria, especially eye make up! Clean your make up brushes ect. NEVER sleep with make up on wash it off before a good night sleep.

7. Get sleep!

• I know you can have so much HW due the next day so start right when you get home so you can sleep early and get at least 8 hours of sleep!

I hope these tips help you and your skin but always remember to keep those grades up! Even out your lifestyle and it will get easier!

TheFaceShop's Green Tea Phyto Powder in Foam Cleanser's New Packaging?

TheFaceShop's FACE it Oil Cut Powder Pact Review

Hi everyone! I'm back with another make up review. This product is from The Face Shop's line FACE it. It is their Oil Cut Powder Pact.

The one I have comes in the shade of NB 23. It is their darkest shade.I used to use a Johnson and Johnson powder pact I got from the Philippines, ever since elementary school, to keep my face matte because I get SUPER OILY but since I was getting into TheFaceShop, I said "why not try their powder pact?". It was one of the greatest decisions I've made! I've been using this powder pact for about 5-6 months. (These pictures were taken right when I purchased it)

On the back there is this English quote:

"Double-lasting Powder coated in two layers to facilitate perspiration and sebum resistance prevents sheen and dull complexion and maintains the freshness of initial make-up for a long period. Particles in ultra fine texture adhere to the skin delicately to make it appear fair and smooth.

Oil-Cut Complex: A patented phyto-complex containing mung bean extract, birch extract and curly dock extract to prevent skin problems by controlling sebum production."

It's supposed to be for pore/blackhead problems. I really like how it's oil cut so it doesn't break me out. 

This comes with an applicator and I use this instead of a powder brush because it gives me better coverage. This is just perfect for my skin because it matches my skin tone a lot better than my old powder. You can't really tell I'm wearing anything on my face but it does give of a smoother natural looking face.

It does what it says it does. I keeps my sebum free for a couple of hours. I don't retouch a lot because it can last me about a whole school day. It keeps my most T-Zone oil free.

It has a flowery kind of smell. It smells cute (you know what I mean!). It also doesn't cake up so it applies very nicely and keeps your face baby smooth.

This has a yellowy base so perfect for those asian skin but it also works towards those fair skinned people like me even though this shade is still a bit too light for me...

Overall rating: 5/5 

Coverage: 3/5

Smell: 5/5 

Texture: 5/5 

Oil Control: 5/5

Pros: It keeps me oily free for a long period of time.

Cons: It is still a tad bit to light for my skin.

Will I buy again? OF COURSE! BEWARE: This product is expensive... OTL

I'm thinking of trying their Oil Cut Dual BB Cream too! Anybody ever tried it yet? Tell me about it (=

The Face Shop's Green Tea Phyto Powder in Foam Cleanser Review

Hi everyone! thank you for all your support and views. Sorry I haven't done any reviews... But here's a new one.

Today I'll be reviewing TFS's Green Tea Phyto Powder in Foam Cleanser!

I've been using this as my face wash for 6 months now. I always look for a green tea type of face wash. As it says on the front of the bottle, this is for oily to combination skin type.

After using it for a day, I can already see a difference. My mom has sensitive skin so she uses the Olive Oil one but one day, she forgot it somewhere and she used mine. She said green tea is still better.

This comes in a 100 mL(?) bottle.

This is the first step of my daily skin care routine. I just use my hand to spread all over my face in a circular motion. Every 3 days I use a exfoliator scrub pad from the Body Shop (not pictured). Exfoliating your face is good!

It has a nice scent and actually, the first couple times I used it, my face smelled like tea like I'd be sitting im class and I can totally smell my face. It's a good smell not like a strong irritating smell.

It doesn't have any beads and spreads very well. My face is still a bit oily but not as oily as before.

Overall rating: 5/5
Smell: 5/5
Texture: 5/5
Oil Control: 4/5

Pros: It is meant for oily to combination skin
Cons: I can't really find a bad thing about this product!

Will I buy again? OF COURSE! If the branch here isn't out of stock like they always do. They say its a bestseller!

Oh yeah! Green tea is really good for the skin so drink up too!

Happy reading and hope this was useful!
