Date: 2014-10-21 09:01 pm (UTC)I'm also loving bronze eyeliners.
On skincare, I use a lot of Benton. My mom's hooked too.
Get ready for a novel
Date: 2014-10-21 09:50 pm (UTC)But overall, the brand that I stan most and simultaneously the one that I cannot afford, is Sulwhasoo. I started using their cleansing foam about a month ago after I picked some up from H-Mart and explained to the lady what my problem issues were with my skin. She threw in some samples when she sold it to me, of the Essential Balancing Water (THE BEST TONER I HAVE EVER USED), as well as the Essential Balancing Emulsion and the Essential Firming Cream (THE BEST MOISTURIZER I'VE EVER USED) and my skin has never been so awesome. The cleanser is KIND OF affordable, at $36 but the toner is $55 and the moisturizer is like $100 so idk I guess I'm gonna have to keep trying to get samples or something, but seriously it's the best skin stuff I've ever used.
As far as makeup goes, I have the Misscha Perfect Cover #23 and I like it for a bb cream, but I've been trying to move away from foundations as a whole, and lately have been applying sunblock (purchased from Innisfree...you can tell i just got back from seoul looking at my skincare shit), and then using the Misscha Signature Extreme coverup (which comes w a pretty great brush imo), since I am getting ~older~ and can tell when bb cream starts to settle into fine lines versus just having a naked face which makes me look more youthful imo.

Date: 2014-10-22 04:59 am (UTC)in general, premium Korean brands is NOT wallet friendly. .Case in point, sum37 miracle cleansing stick. literally washing my face with roses every night but its almost $30 but I lub it <3. Also brought one of their set thingies which I haven't even tested yet. But it includes a mask, which I've looked up online and it's like $90 for a box of 8. I'm scare that I'll try it, fall in love and then weep cuz I won't ever be able to use another one ever again :(
Re: Get ready for a novel
Date: 2014-10-22 12:06 pm (UTC)But there are also very inexpensive Japanese/Korean brands, which work great too. Like Wawaza (I SWEAR by their products!), Shiseido and Kao or Innisfree and Missha.
And I always wanted to try out the sum37 cleansing stick. Is it as good as it sounds?!

Date: 2014-10-21 06:13 pm (UTC)yes, i do live an eco beauty life, thanks for asking. if i would start a blog about that, i'd be queen of the interwebs.
i have all these pure (organic) oils and sls-paraben-silicone-etc free products... i'm glad i live with people who don't care about beauty products, otherwise the whole place would be overran by eco friendly masses of goods.
if someone knows an aluminium-paraben-free deodorant that works, give me a shout. the only thing i couldn't fix organically was that.
my faves are the honey-argan oil-yoyoba oil-coconut oil-butter-avocado hair/face mask that i make every couple of weeks, and then argan oil for the ends of my hair, and then... i have too many faves. i eat this stuff, too.
i could go on and on about all these, but i'm going to watch the show instead.

Date: 2014-10-21 06:36 pm (UTC)do you have any blogs/websites you use or do you just do it yourself?
no subject
Date: 2014-10-21 07:22 pm (UTC)i just randomly google ingredients that i see in the supermarket or drugstore. i'm still searching for related blogs. beauty sites if found so far don't take the natural part seriously enough for my tastes. so i just make up recipes based on some googling. but i guess in a few months there'll be tons of related blogs popping up. now i mostly run into blogs that would hail "organic" products that have like 1 ingredient that is organic, and the rest is just the regular stuff... or eco product, but then in a plastic tube with a paper wrapping tucked into some see through plastic. meh. i collect then selectively, but still. yes, i have serious first world problems.

Date: 2014-10-21 07:45 pm (UTC)i really want to get into it more seriously, i used to do a lot of homemade hair moisture treatments when i had blue hair/just after i went back to brown but i've been lazy recently. i still remember that time i left olive & coconut oils in my hair overnight in some sort of messianic glow, it was the best thing i've ever done to my hair.

Date: 2014-10-21 08:01 pm (UTC)oh olive oil is amazing, too. well, if you liked having that on your hair, go for it.

and last but not least has anyone tried the eos lipbalms? are they really that good?

Date: 2014-10-22 04:19 am (UTC)As for the eos lipbalms. They're aiight, but to me, they're kind of overpriced, don't have spf, annoying to carry around, and not as amazingly moisturizing as people say. I'm sticking to my softlips which I can get in a two-pack for the price of one eos.
no subject
Date: 2014-10-21 07:37 pm (UTC)But I never buy "expensive" eco products. Also the brands I buy are around the same price as the regular stuff (and regularly on sale).
