<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Summer is almost over but the heat won't get us through! It's so hot it just makes us want to indulge in cold, scrumptious treats, every single day! And what's better than shaved ice top with "everything nice" for a summer treat? Halo-Halo? Yes, but it ain't just your typical Halo-Halo. Ever tried the "Korean Halo-Halo?" Well, it's cool, simple yet unique in so many levels! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Bingsu is a popular Korean dessert usually enjoyed during the summer. Just like our very own Halo-Halo, it is composed of shaved/crushed ice typically with various fruits, sweet rice cakes, red beans and topped with either yogurt, whipped cream or ice cream. Because of it's simplicity ( since it's typically "halo-halo"), there are tons of variations of Bingsu that everyone can easily make depending on their own taste. And since I am madly obsessed with coffee, let me share you my Coffee Crunch Bingsu, of course made special by San Miguel Purefoods Products.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I’ve always been a fan of fusion dishes. And this summer, I
imagine the colorful and vibrant cultures of Mexico and Korea. My Seoul Chicken
Burrito is one of those fusion recipes I created to satisfy my cravings without
feeling too heavy. It’s healthy, it’s fresh—with a little kick on the side.
This burrito recipe gives you a modern twist to a classic favorite that
everyone can enjoy this summer.</span></div>

Last week I did a mini Skin Food haul :)<br />
<br />
I, by the way am a huge Skin Food fan. In fact, the Skin Food Peach Sake Pore BB Cream is my absolute favorite.<br />
<br />
Speaking of favorites, Skin Food once again caught my interest through this concealer which is infused with my favorite lunch time dessert and mid-day snack--- Banana, hence the <b>Skin Food Banana Concealer.</b><br />

To be precise, I have a medium to fair olive with cool to neutral undertones (which is a bit mouthful but is actually very common to Asians, particularly those from the South East.)I know it was kind of silly for me to expect a yellowish tone for this concealer since the name or rather the <i>fruit</i> accounts for the color but yeah, this concealer is perfect for those who have neutral to cool (yellow) undertones. </div>

The thing about this concealer is that it glides smoothly on my skin without it being too creamy nor too greasy. I know concealers are meant for coverage but I like how this product is not too coverage heavy but just enough to conceal dark circles and spots without actually caking the area. Plus, it is also very light and easy to blend. </div>

Overall, this has become another favorite concealer of mine. Not only it suits my color very well but it has good coverage but light on the skin at the same time. It is not overly creamy and greasy but also not the type that cakes on the skin especially for those who have dry skin and those who have fine lines. But if your seeking for coverage heavy concealer, this formula might not be for you. Since it's very light for the skin, I normally use this only during the day.<br />
<b><br /></b><br />
<b><br /></b><br />
<b>Pros:</b> lightweight, not too creamy and greasy, glides smoothly and blends easily on skin, good coverage, perfect for people with neutral to cool undertones, long lasting, convenient to use, has yummy banana scent:)<br />
<br />
<b>Cons: </b>Nothing at all (except for those who are looking for heavy coverage concealers, this is not for you)<br />
<br />
<b>Will I buy this again? :</b> Yes, certainly. (Although i'm not sure if this product is still available in Skin Food Megamall because last time I checked, the saleslady told me they don't have stocks for this anymore. Good thing because I couldn't just imagine how pricey this could get when Skin Food Phils decided to restock.) Anyways, I bought this one online, straight from Korea for only 400+.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Til next time:)<br />

Being a Kpop <s>freak </s>enthusiast that I am, I was a little
flabbergasted to know that a popular Korean fancy shop opened their first
branch in the country just a few weeks
ago. That’s why I invited some of my Kpoppin’ girlies to check out the store
right on the first weekend of our first week of school (we need our allowances
okay?)</div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Yeah but that didn’t happen because we went there earlier
than expected. The little visit was sure
an untimely one. A friend of us ditched her 6:30pm class for this (talk about
B.I. friends ) and we have this org meeting to run after. Plus, it’s a Friday
and we’re just so clever to go there during the peek hours in all mighty Malate. </div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But then I would say that there are no regrets whatsoever
because C.N.A Philippines just sucked the living <i>kikay </i>souls out of us. There are moments we, 21 yr. old adults
literally spazz on a random item just because it’s cute, it’s girly, it’s
sparkly, it’s unique and yeah… it’s Korean!</div>

C.NA. Philippines opened their first branch in the country
last May 19, 2012 at the ground floor of University Tower in Malate Manila. The
shop sells practically every girl’s <i>kikay</i>ssentials from jewelries, accessories, stickers,
cosmetics, beauty products and the rest and all are 100% made in Korea.</div>

The store was actually very spacious, and since they have a lot of patrons from all over the city, the space is enough for quite a handful of crowd to roam around the store without bumping on each other.

Hi guys! In my recent post I told you about some basic information
regarding the Korean makeup trend that is getting popular not only in Asia but
in western countries as well. Now that I have already shared some of my insights
as well as tips in order to achieve this look, let me take you further by sharing
some of my step-by–step tutorials, starting on the eyebrows.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Korean eyebrows, as I have mentioned, have been gaining popularity
for giving this youthful look that has been strongly distinct in Koreans these days.The
idea of having straight, bushy eyebrows can be a little daunting to some
(especially for women) but Koreans in contrary have been totally rocking the
look. Since
most Asians, particularly the ones from the East have relatively soft facial
features, thick, defined brows can actually accentuate the features
as well as giving off a better frame to the face. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
Here are some photos of famous Korean actresses and k-pop artists who are rocking the scene with these thick,straight brows:</div>

hairs from the sides towards your eyebrows. This will help you gather more
hair. It is also important for the periphery of your brows to be clean so that

</span>Use the eyebrow brush to tousle your eyebrows,
particularly from the middle thirds to the end. This will help you check for
longer, uneven strands. Snip the ends off with your eyebrow scissors. You want
a clean, matted look for your eyebrows. With shorter, even strands, it’ll be
easier for you to fill in the brows.</div>

Here's the side where I used the grey-colored liner. You can see that although the eyebrows are completely filled in, the grey made my brow still look soft and natural. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
And here's the other side where I used the brown eyebrow pencils to fill in my brows. Notice how brown brightens my face. It doesn't look as natural as the first one but filling in your brows with this shade is perfect for brightening the face and of course for those who have brown/light colored hair.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: left;">I personally do not wear this look often although I have to admit that this eyebrow style really frames my face well as it also enhances the shape of my eyes. Unfortunately, I do not recommend this eyebrow style to women with strong facial features.As I have mentioned, Koreans developed this style to accentuate their weaker facial features, so for women with stronger ones, </span><span style="text-align: left;">instead of this eyebrow style complimenting your face, you'll end up looking angry the whole time you wear it.</span><span style="text-align: left;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: left;">But if you still want to achieve that youthful look, I suggest you slightly fill in your brows with two shades lighter than your hair color. Look for the highest point of your natural arch and <b>slightly</b> fill in. This will actually soften the arch of your brows without completely removing it's natural curve. Not all Koreans wear this look so don't stress too much on this alright? You'd still want eyebrows that would really compliment your face.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So this is my take on Korean Eyebrows. I know it's easier explaining this through video but you know, I'm like this shy, teenage virgin with a lot of occasional blunders in her life.-_- yieeaaah...but i hope this helps:) I'll be making reviews on some of the products I used for this tutorial so stay tuned^.^<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: xx-small;">DISCLAIMER: This is not a hundred percent accurate coz for
one, I’m not Korean, and two, im not a professional<span style="font-family: Wingdings;">J</span>
But most of it are base on research and some personal observations in account
for my KPOP obsession and some reliable testimonials from my Korean friends at
school.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The Korean makeup is indeed a trend nowadays not only in
Asia but suprisingly, in western countries as well. I really couldn’t blame such fanaticism over this
type of makeup and makeup routine because damn it who doesn’t want a fresh,
flawless face, not to mention a youthful glow even after a day of nerve-racking
work? Well I scream, I DO!!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
So, what are the basics in a Korean makeup routine?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b>FACE<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
First, a clean,clear face is an essential step to achieve
that fresh look. Not only Koreans but most of the people from East Asia (like
China and Japan) have this fair to white complexion with really fine
pores that some even calls it <i>the porcelain
skin</i>. Of course climate is a huge factor but I do think East Asian girls,
Koreans in particular are so into their looks nowadays that they are able to
practice various skin care routines that are effective in maintaining and
enhancing their skin. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Second, a staple in Korean makeup, BB cream. I know most of
us are fully aware of the history and whatnots of this infamous product but
yes, the magic of Korean makeup happens when this liquid foundation-slash-moisturizer-slash-sunscreen
is applied to the face and with the
right amount and choice of shade for your complexion--- <i>voila</i>! You’ll have that glowing, dewy skin we usually see on Korean
actresses and Kpop artists on TV. </div>

<b>EYES</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Another is their use of black eyeliners, may it be liquid,
gel or in pencil form to enhance and enlarge their eyes. For a fresh and subtle day look, Koreans are
known for tightlining their eyes. Tightlining is a method
of lining the existing spaces between the lashes or lining as close as possible
to the lash line. This will give you bigger, brighter, and more youthful eyes. This
method actually creates an “invisible” eye makeup look that makes uswonder how
come Korean actresses have these defined looking eyes but it’s as if they re
not wearing any. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Also, you wound’t see a lot of them wear dark or even bold color
eyeshadows (Okay I know what you’re thinking, and yes girls from 2NE1 is not an
exception. On normal days, I assume Park Bom wouldn’t even think of sporting
her usual black eye look inside a ramyun shop). They always go for <i>au naturel</i> by only applying neutral
colors or champaigne or any light shimmer eyeshadow to highlight the lids.
Sometimes they would choose not to put any. </div>

<b>EYEBROWS</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Koreans have a different way of grooming and styling their
brows which is also getting popular these days hence the name,<i> </i>Korean eyebrows. The typical<i> </i>Korean eyebrows are tousled, bushy, and
straight, yes and some of it can be DEAD-ON straight. I personally am
fascinated on how they could actually pull off this look without looking like a
constipated clown. Frankly, I learned to embrace my genetically straight
brows because of this trend. This eyebrow style gives you that innocent,
youthful look, perfect for giving definition to the eyes.</div>

<b>CHEEKS</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Since most of them have fair complexion, they use blushes
with shades ofpink, peach and coral to finish the look just enough to bring out
a healthy glow. Cheek tints are also popular for that natural flushed look. Also,
I observe that they are fond of putting highlighters or illuminators on the
high points of their faces. It gives them that fresher, dewy-er, porcelain skin
finish. </div>

<b>LIPS</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Most Korean lips if not thin, are small yet plump (I hope
I’m not the only one who notices that. I guess it has something to do with
their speech,idk) Also,most of them have light colored lips. Lip tints are popular and
you can usually see them wear that ‘<i>just
bitten’</i> look using berry lip tints, giving them a natural and for lack of a
better term, cute pout. For lippies, they would always go for matte in shades
of pink and peach. </div>

<b>TIPS AND INSIGHTS</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
I know most of us have been ogling about this trend since
god knows when but I would honestly say that for some who actually want to
transform and morph their faces to look like Koreans but still looking <i>au naturel,</i> well I won’t say it’s
impossible but it is kind of hard to pull this look off. It really depends on
the texture of the skin, complexion---basically the overall features. But if you’re someone who is only looking for
a fresh, youthful look without trying too hard to look like someone who is
pulled out of a Korean drama, you can do a little switch-up on this Korean
makeup routine.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Like BB creams for example.
Not all BB creams have good coverage and some couldn’t just compliment your
skin color. Why struggle in buying and wasting your time and money in BB’s
that aren’t for you if you have a liquid foundation just around the corner with
better coverage and one that will really compliment your skin color. Lightly
sweep a highlighter to the high points of the face or you can use an
illuminator as well to achieve that fresh, dewy look BB creams provide.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
If you have naturally dark or red lips, use a lip concealer
like Etude House’s Color Me Nude Lip Concealer (put lip balm before applying
the lip concealer to avoid drying or flaking of the lips) to neutralize the color of the lips before applying
any lip color of choice especially if you want to put a lighter one on your
lips. Remember that you want to achieve that fresh , natural look not that
pale, anemic look so go for the lip color that will compliment your skin.
Pigments are important so lay off the nude lippies if you’re not on party mode
or not planning to troll in a hospital or something .</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
I hope these little tips of mine helped you. I’ll start
posting tutorials to achieve this look without really trying so hard, especially
my girls from the tropics who are struggling to achieve this look without looking
deep fried at the end of the day. Remember , we live in a climate that is meant
for any skin to break out and Koreans, well they live in such a lovely climate and ha-- </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">My point is that i just realized i'm a makeup enthusiast <i>pala</i>. The horrendous truth is when I entered college, baby powder was literally my weapon for my ever so oily t-zone. Ugh. Reminiscing makes me really nauseous. :|</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">So before I share a book length of history on how I develop a lust on anything that is applied to the face to practically beautify us, naturally vain female species I would like to tell you firsthand that this blog is dedicated for some make-up/beauty product reviews, tips and as well as make up tutorials (if I've already got that 200% power level like of Toguro's to show this <i>exotic</i> piece of sh*tface on public.)<br /><br />~oh and also some of my random thoughts, occasional rants and my bi-polar tendencies, my graveyard college life as dentistry student, FOOD (lotsa food) and last but definitely not the least ---KPOP and my hubby Lee Donghae. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Btw, i'm kinda noob to this setting even though I have my own Lj account...well geez, Livejournal is in an alternate universe and i will never, i repeat, NEVER name my lj account ever because other than it's a trunk for all my KPOP junk, well... it's a trunk for all my KPOP junk and whenever i get on my possessed fan girl mode, i can do all sorts of things and well...yeah some of it can be really embarrassing, and some can be just...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">So I will end this for now. You'll get to know me more once i start blogging for real. Like for shiz.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Hmm,so how do i say this, <strike>TOODLES!</strike></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Nah, til next time :)</span><br />
