Attack On Titan / Shingeki no Kyojin Annie Leonhart Female Titan Halloween Cosplay Make Up

Since its Halloween soon and I didn't want to waste my blonde hair (I'm going to dye it again this week! #typicalme~) I did a cosplay makeup! Dan dan dan dan~ The female titan (女型の巨人メイク) ^.^ I was too lazy to do the neck, but I think it still turned out great. ^^ It was really fun doing this but a complete pain in the ass to remove! >.<


I know my hair is too long for the Female Titan but apologies I am not cutting my hair! xD It needs to grow out the damage yo.

I haven't posted anything Japanese or anime related on my blog before, so this is my first~ ^^ Should I start Japanese culture too? O.o Anyway enjoy the camwhore selfies xDD


Incase if anyone is wondering~ For this look I used normal makeup; I didn't use face paint simply because I don't like the texture and cakey/powdery result. Plus its hard to get hold of in where I live. >.< So whilst everyone else used red face paint, I used red lipstick (Revlon ColourBurst Matte Balm in 250 Standout ^^). My first time doing so and i'll admit it was weird. xDDD On the other hand, I made good use of my resources~ ^_^ As for the black, I used 17's gel eyeliner which I will review soon and link here~ For the highlighted area I used Bourjois's Healthy Mix Correcting Concealer and MUA's white eyeliner. 






What are you guys going to dress up as for this year's Halloween? Let me know :')

KPop Diet #11: F(x) Sulli and Amber Plastic Bag Workout



Sulli and Amber revealed on Star King their method to losing weight and maintaining a toned figure. Its simple and free~ They simply inflate a plastic bag and kick it around in various ways so that the plastic bag doesn't touch the floor. I think this method would help tone your legs further. You can watch the video below to see Sulli and Amber demonstrate it~ ^__^

Skinfood Black Egg Pore Gel Base Review



This was gift from my friend Jasmin~ (Thank you! ^__^) 

Description of the product taken from the Skinfood website:

"A pore-refining primer gel with a velvety finish that improves the appearance of enlarged pores while preparing skin for makeup. The apricot colour base brightens lacklustre skin tones."

The primer comes in pearl-essence white tube, with an egg shaped twist lid. Simple yet interesting. The tube packaging makes it easy to use and very hygienic. 


The primer itself is a light apricot colour, which I love as it corrects and evens out my skin tone, it also brightens up my tired looking skin. The primer does have a light coverage, so you can actually use it on its own like a BB cream. It has a gel texture, with a little silicone. It glides onto the skin nicely and blends in perfectly. I love how it instantly fills in my enlarged pores, making my skin appear smooth. It looks very natural and gives the illusion that pores didn't exist. 


I apply he gel base after my skincare, before applying my BB cream or foundation. This really does help my makeup last longer, which is great. Although it is not a feature, the base does slight help control my oils for a few extra hours too.

Pros:

  • Great packaging - easy to use and hygienic
  • Corrects skin tone and brightens up skin
  • Has light coverage
  • Can use it on it own like a sheer BB cream
  • Blends into skin perfectly
  • Filled in pores
  • Provides oil control

Cons:

  • Has a unique scent that some people may not like

Rating: 9/10

Would I repurchase?

Yes! (although I didn't buy this one xDD but if it did you know... ^^)

Would I recommend?

Most definitely! This is my current favourite primer. Instantly blurs out enlarge pores and corrects skin tone. Helps my makeup last longer and stay in place. Whilst it also helps to keep my oils at bay for a few hours longer too. ^^ An awesome product indeed.

Have you tried any Skinfood products? ^.^

So...? Dry Shampoo Review - (Va Va Volume, Fabulous, Lovely)



I love the So...? Perfume sprays, so when I found out that So..? does dry shampoos, I decided to try them out. ^_^ The packaging is eye catching and sassy, I love that they used bold colours. It like carrying an accessory around. 

I'll do a review for each one, since they each offer different results and different scents. ^^ They also have a purple one called So...? Glamorous, which unfortunately I couldn't find in stores. >.<

So...? Va Va Volume - Xtra Body (BLACK)

I love the volume and body Va Va Volume gives me. My hair is always flat whenever I wake up, so volume is essential for me. This used in conjunction with teasing, gives you beautiful voluminous hair. It has a sandalwood and mature floral scent (like jasmine). A really calming scent, however I personally find it a bit overwhelming since the scent is not really my cup of tea. 

So...? Fabulous - Fruity & Fresh (BLUE)

This one is my favourite scent, a fruity citrus scent that lifts up my mornings. Although this does not give "extra body" the volume is still great. Its just not as long lasting as Va Va Volume. 

So...? Lovely - Floral & Flirty (PINK)

This one has a sweet and girly scent, a hint a rose - which I think is great for dates or when you're feeling girly. ^^ Same as Fabulous, it still gives a little volume.

Overall

The dry shampoos do an amazing job - it absorbs the oils, leaves my hair fresh for hours, smells great and gives volume. ^^ I always spray a good amount of dry shampoo, So...? gives the least white residue. A little rubbing and brushing will get rid of the white coating. This is really great for people with oily hair and in-between washes.

Pros:

  • Affordable
  • Does the job - absorbs excess oils and leave hair fresh for hours
  • Leaves little residue
  • Great variety of scents

Cons:

  • Only con is that not much stores have them stocked :c I hope that it will expand more so that more people will get to try these out! 

Rating: 9/10

Would I repurchase?

Indeed - these are currently my favourite dry shampoos. ^^

Would I recommend?

100% - affordable and lovely variety of scents to suit everyone. They also sell  these as a gift set. It comes with all 4 of the scents and in a cute travel size, a great christmas gift. ^^

What are some of your favourite dry shampoos? ^^
