Kpop Inspired Nails: Orange Caramel (Nana) - "Lipstick" MV

A few days ago, Lexie told me she loved Nana's nails in the most recent Orange Caramel MV. The nails are pretty simple (which is why she loves them) for what you would expect to see in an Orange Caramel MV. We all know how extravagant and sometimes hard to swallow their concepts are.

So, because I've been loving that dark green color she's wearing (perfect for fall) I thought I'd do something similar to show you guys.

I'm sorry for the s*itty photos that you're about to see, but I really don't know how to use my camera my camera sucks. Stupid lightning, flash/no flash, I could not capture the beauty of these nails.

(I'm not the "oh-im-so-ugly"-waiting-for-compliments type of girl, I'm just worried you can't see how pretty these nails really are in the following pictures.) 

BUT ANYWAYZ...

Instead of Nana's silver glitter, I used a white base with a beautiful multicolor glitter MY CAMERA CAN'T CAPTURE ㅠ.ㅠ

It looks like a big mess here and I can't tell you guys how frustrated I am because I absolutely love this and it looks so perfect in real life. OTL

Here's a close-up. 

(I mosaiced my cuticles 'cause, girl, trust me, you don't wanna see that)

My green also looks a lot darker than it really is.

[REVIEW] Missha M Signature Real Complete BB Cream #21

Sorry for M.I.A, we were really busy with other things. Now on with the post.

A few days ago I got some samples of Missha M Signature Real Complete BB Cream with SPF 25, as a gift, along with my recently bought BB Cream. I admit, I never tried Missha and I never thought of trying it either. Why? I've seen some reviews and I didn't really liked it. 

This is how a normal package looks like. I didn't have any pictures of it, sorry.

 

Until now, I've used Skin79 Hot Pink BB Cream, which is really good. I've never had any bumps/eruptions after using it and it's really friendly with my skin. 

Note: my skin complexion is quite normal, with a few freckles, but my nose gets a bit oily. I don't get bumps/eruptions on a daily basis either. 

Now on with the review.

First, some swatches: 

A "decade" later, after blending and oxidizing:

 I dropped a bit too much on my hand, sorry.

And this is how it looks on my skin, 20min. after I applied it (you won't get to see my whole face, because I looked like a thing that got hit by a truck):

The shade is #21, which is light pink-beige, for fair-skinned girls. My skin is really fair, similar to the type of skin Asian girls have. By Asian girls I mean Korean/Chinese girls. 

The texture is really watery/liquid while most BB Creams have a more creamy texture. This one was seriously "running" of my fingers. I did not like that, at all.

The coverage is somewhere between sheer to medium, really good for girls who do not have bad skin complexion, bumps, dark circles etc. It also reduces redness, but after applying 3 layers. However, it felt a bit heavy on my face and I couldn't layer it properly and it was hard to blend as well. Not to mention it took quite a while until it oxidized, so I looked really pale/yellowish in the meantime. I think it's a bit too fair, even for me. Bia also tried it on and her skin became really white and it barely blended in. She's also fair-skinned like me, but her skin is normal/oily. What somehow bothered me more about the coverage is that it looked more like a foundation and less like a BB Cream.

It also has a strong fragrance, unlike my Skin79 Hot Pink BB Cream. I prefer non or less scented cosmetics. Why? Less harmful ingredients. 

 We tried it on yesteday and up until now I did not have any skin reactions, but 1-2hrs after Bia applied it on, her skin became really oily, in other words, it doesn't have good sebum control.

Additional comments: I don't like shiny BB Creams, but the Missha one was sorta shiny, so I had to set it up with powder. It's also caked on me and it lasts only a few hours, about 3-4hrs if the weather is normal/chilly, and probably less if the weather is hot, while my regular BB Cream lasts up to 7hrs, sometimes more, depending on the weather. 

Some people might disagree with me when it comes to this Missha product, but it varies from skin to skin, sometimes in a bad way and sometimes in a good way. But after this experience, more in a bad way I think. 

Star shoes

(Warning! My English skills are kinda. . . well I might have mistakes)

Shoes, shoes, shoes! 

A few days ago I entered a Romanian site (thanks to the link posted by a friend on facebook) and I was amazed! Starstruck to be exact! They have shoes that most Korean artists wear.

Ah, the following can be found on a Romanian site, they ship only inside Romania, so I'm sorry for our International reads =( 

Le site~

As I was saying, they ship only in Romania and the prices (to my surprise) aren't really big (well most of them). Compared to the prices in other countries (US, UK, Korea) the prices on this site are somewhat cheap, considering the fact that everything is from well-known brands, but still kinda expensive for regular/poor people (like meh! xD )

(and like in every post where we don't own the photos, credits to their owners)

Adidas - Jeremy Scott Wings 2NE1 (yes, that's what they're called)

My favorites out of all favorites! 

They cost about 115$ (that's 379 RON in Romania). And if you like the shoes, but don't dig the wings, well the wings come off.

I personally like them both ways because they're awesome.

Adidas Harland Bones (maybe the name doesn't ring a bell, but the photos will, especially for kpop fans)

The moment I was these on the site I thought about Dara. I'd definitely wear these babies. 

These are somewhat cheaper than the others, but since I posted the link to the site, you'll see for yourself all the prices :3

Adidas - Jeremy Scott Wings 1 White & Wings 1 Gold

The 2 ladies of 2NE1 wore these in the "Fire - Street Ver." MV. The white ones are really simple and classy-like, but I personally don't really like the golden ones. Even so, both pairs are really cool.

Christian Louboutin Black (don't let the name scare you too much)

They are awesome and they are to die for! And one of GD's fav brand. He's endorsing the brand so I suppose he's really fond of it. The studs are really cool and make them shoes stand out (they do the same to their owner).

Louis Vuitton - Stephen Sprouse

(sorry for the quality. . . )

Louis Vuitton is another brand that GD likes. I actually like this pair, I'm kinda fond of them. The bright neon colors make them stand out a lot.

Adidas - Jeremy Scott Flames (JS, do you come here often?)

(sorry Jonghyun, but you were too big of a derp to ruin your image)

I really love the colors. The wings don't come off and as you can notice at Taemin, they're also pretty big. Even so, I still think they're cool (and not because Taemin is wearing them), because I like most of JS's shoes.

So that ends my post. And it's past midnight and I'm craving for some coffee/cappuccino.

How to wear leggings!

I'm not gonna make rules/tips to follow in wearing leggings, I'll show you the "wrong way to wear leggings" and the "proper way to wear leggings". Don't let the title confuse you too much.
Recently I have spotted a lot, A LOT of girls who wear leggings the wrong way. Wearing tight leggings the wrong way means wearing leggings as pants, without anything else on the bottom half. It's kinda. . . make your own decision from the following photos.

(We do not own any of the photos shown in this post, credits to their owners)

Unless you don't want your parts to be shown to the world, I suggest you don't wear them like above, especially if you know you are a bit fluffy/chubby. People feel disgusted when they see girls wearing only leggings. I usually end up seeing at least 5/6 girls daily wearing legging like this, not only during spring, but also during winter. What the heck? Why would you wear only leggings during winter? Why? With nothing on top of them. . . it's really disgusting. You're doing it wrong, please stop.

The best way to sport leggings is by wearing shorts/skirts/long t-shirts (shirts) on top of them.

Next I'll show you a few ways of wearing leggings the proper way.

Get the point? Then wear them well.

Must-Have Item: The Motorcycle (Biker) Jacket

Heyo~

First! Y'all need, no, must listen to this. It's a preview to Aziatix's new song, me and Bia are totally in love with this band.

Second. . . carrying on with the post. 

As you already know (yup, the title) this post is about the one and only motorcycle jacket (or leather jacket). This item is extremely versatile and badass, but also really fun to wear because you can mix it with almost anything from skirts/dresses to high heels and skinny jeans. For me, I'd wear it with normal jeans, because I have a large waist (and butt xD), skinny jeans don't look really good on me, a plain, white t-shirt and a pair of boots, most likely army boots. Uhm, this is kinda my style :3 Oh yeah! If your body is narrow on the upper half and wide on the lower half, don't wear skinny jeans, they'll most likely make you look a bit chubby. So! If your body is like this try wearing straight-cut jeans, because they give a better form to you body. 

Going back to the jacket now. . . 

The motorcycle jacket was a really famous item in the '80, a lot of people owned one and it kinda made them look more badass. These days, the jacket made a really cool comeback as now it has a more modern feeling to it. They look great on everyone because they adapt to the body shape, but that's only if you get the right size to fit you. They're almost never out of fashion.

Since a lot of people don't really know how to choose a motorcycle jacket and just buy the first one they see, I'll give a few tips to keep in mind when you buy a jacket:

1 - make sure it fits and that it's not too lose or too tight. For this you need to check the shoulders, if the cut is too high, then the jacket is too small, but if the cut is too low, then the jacket is too big (this is something you should keep in mind everytime you buy a jacket/cardigan/blouse, basically anything with sleeves);

2 - always take someone with you when you buy a motorcycle jacket to double-check that it fits and looks good on you;

3 - the motorcycle jacket looks best when it's on the hip or just a bit higher, but not too high (that's why you need to take someone with you);

4 - they come in different colors (the modern feeling I was talking about earlier) from purple to red and white, so choose wisely and by choosing wisely I mean choose according to your wardrobe/style.

5 - lastly, a motorcycle jacket is not complete unless it has zippers, studs and other ornaments to give it that badass feel.

Now I'll show you a few ways to wearing a biker jacket. Enjoy~
(credit as tagged, we do not own the photos)

First on, baby CL. I simply love how she wears the biker jacket, because she has an edgy style and almost all of her jackets are WOW!

                           Another adorable lady that likes to wear biker jackets is Park Sandara. 

To finish off, I give you. . .cutie/hottie Taeyang.

And like I said, you can wear it with skirts/dresses too

Now if you excuse me, I got some things to do.
