FOTD and Revlon Lip Butters Review

(Please ignore my large forehead lol)
Okay okay this is totally vain and I'm not usually this vain but...

OMG look at my eyelashes!  Haha they look so nice today :3

I'm not wearing falsies ^^

Sorry for that extremely vain moment.

I received a sample of the Lioele Beyond the Solution BB Cream from Pretty and Cute so I'm going to do  a small review on this.  I'm wearing this BB cream in my photo.

I actually dislike this BB Cream because it really highlights my dry skin.  Most BB Creams I have tried kind of moisturize my skin and leave it dewy.  This one had a matte finish.  I think this BB Cream would be great for people with oily skin.  Since my skin is normal to dry, I didn't care for this one.  I do like that the color matches my skin tone perfectly but I normally wear BB Creams that are lighter than my skin color because I want to be lighter :P and my face is also darker than my neck for some reason.

FOTD:

Face:

Lioele Beyond the Solution BB Cream

Sephora Mattifying Foundation in Warm Fair

Eyes:

I don't know what the eyeshadow palette is called but I used the Tokidoki quad that came with Adios.   I used the matte black shade

elf Cream Eyeliner in Black

Dolly Wink Volume Mascara

Maybelline NY Lash Discovery Mascara

Lips:

Revlon Colorburst Lip Butters in Cotton Candy

Okay so onto the review:

I bought Lollipop (left) and Cotton Candy (right)

Swatches: Cotton Candy (top), Lollipop (bottom)

Cotton Candy

Lollipop

(sorry for blurry photos)

My take:

These Lip Butters are fairly moisturizing.  It is nothing like a lip balm though.  My lips felt dry after about half an hour so I had to keep reapplying it.  That isn't much of a problem to me since I'm constantly reapplying my lip balm to make sure my lips don't get dry.  I HATE the lollipop shade.  It is like a hot pink with a blue tone to it.  I do not like it at all.  I do love the Cotton Candy Shade. 

Pros:

Comes in a lot of different  shades

Good price

Good Availability

 Moisturizing

Opaque

True to color

Cons:

Neither the color or the moisturizing effect is long  lasting

(Color fades when you eat or drink and if you don't eat or drink, it fades in about an hour to two hours)

(moisturizing effect faded in about half an hour)

Rating: 4/5 

I really like these.  If they were more moisturizing, they would be perfect.

I definitely would buy these again.  I want to get more colors :3

FOTD

Sorry for the lack of posts!  I've been feeling sick and very uninspired to do anything ):

This is my FOTD and I actually don't remember what I used lol.

I was going for a sweet look though (:

I did my nails today so I'll post about that later. 

I must take a Chemistry test now!

So it's 9:02pm right now.  Sephora's Black Friday sale has opened butttttttt, the site is down due to maintenance!  ):  I'm not sure when they're going to finish this but I'm sad!

Usamimi!

Hehe I'm happy to announce that I finally finished making my usamimi.  Usamimi comes from the words "usagi", meaning rabbit, and "mimi", meaning ears.  It's like a bunny ear headband thing.  

I followed this tutorial to make this kawaii headband! I altered it a bit but it's basically the same thing.  Btw, I looooove that girl's blog.  All of her tutorials are super kawaii and inexpensive <3

Btw, did you guys know I wear glasses?  I wear them practically everyday.  I was using my regular contacts but I ripped one trying to take a cat hair off of it >.<  I also don't wear my circle lenses too often since I have astigmatism and I can't see well (which is really bad when I can't see the lecture notes :P)

On another note, I'm super excited for SNSD's release of "The Boys".  I've been following the teasers and the news on AKP.  In four more days, their comeback single will be released followed by the release of their albums on the 21!  I've heard the 30 second preview of the english version of "The Boys".  Taeyeon, YoonA or Seohyun, and Sunny sang.  Their english is surprising really good.  I'm not really too fond of the song so far though.  It seems so unlike them.  I really love the cute style of 'Gee' and 'Oh!'.  I also love the edgy style of 'Run Devil Run' and 'Mr. Taxi'.  This song seems a bit too harsh for them though.

Well next post should definitely be better.

"The Boys"

So I'm pretty excited about SNSD's comeback album.  It was going to be released tomorrow, but SM Entertainment delayed it a few weeks because they're trying to release the US album at the same time as the Korean album.

I'm more excited about the Korean album because from what I have seen so far, SNSD cannot speak English very well (aside from Tiffany and Jessica).  Mr Taxi is going to have a Korean version when the album is released!  I've seen Youtube videos of the girls performing a Korean version of Mr Taxi and it was strange.  I am a lot more fond of the Japanese version.  I hope that the version I listened to was not the official version.

In order to show my excitement I attempted to do an SNSD look.

I've seen A LOT of people do Taeyeon in Run Devil Run.  I think it's because it's one of the only times SNSD wore dramatic makeup in a music video.  I was thinking of doing Tiffany in Mr Taxi but I couldn't get the hair just right.

My FOTD is inspired by Jessica when she did a photo shoot in Bali.

The lighting was really bad because it was taken at night and the flash was too harsh ):

So Jessica's makeup is just flawless skin, smokey eyes, minimal blush, and a nude lip color.

She put a lot of focus on her eyelashes, mainly her lower lashes.

If the lighting in my house was better you would be able to see that around the smokey eye, there is a slight outline of goldish brown and a light beige around my inner corners.  My skin is also a lot lighter than it is in that photo.
