my collection of sketches!

Hello there! I'd like to share some of my favorite anime characters in chibi form. I don't have the creative ability to draw my own free hand. So i based all my sketches off of other artists' work. These ones are from the recent japanese anime Kamisama Hajimemashita. The characters I've drawn: Momozono Nanami (human earth god), Tomoe (fox familiar), Mizuki (Snake familiar).

 

 

 

Myeongdong with a friend!

So I met up with a childhood friend of mine at Myeongdong, Seoul, Korea. First we went to innisfree to get the skinny waterproof microcara which cost 10,000₩. The brush is 2.5mm (super tiny which is perfect for asian eyes). I also bought their eyelash curler which is small enough to not pinch my skin. This. Was 3,000₩ and comes with 2 replacement pads. Then we went to Myon which is a photo sticker booth. It was 8,000₩ and they were having a 1 + 1 deal. So for two people it was actually 4,000₩! Pictures came out great too! Afterwards we went to Cafe Poem to have some parfait (8,000₩ each). I got strawberry parfait and my friend got choco parfait. It was so delicious and worth the price because it had 2 scoops of ice cream, lot of fruits, and cake in the middle. After walking around a little more we went to Rookie Norebang (karaoke) which was expensive-12,000₩ per hour. Then we went to Gwanghamun for Kyobo bookstore - HotTracks. I bought a Loveholic CD 14,500₩, paper pencil box (1,500₩), and 2 stylus tipped pens (1,000₩ each). Today was really fun and I hope I can hang out with my friends again.

Lip Tints!

At Hongdae I bought It's Skin babyface jelly tint in number 2 flower pink and Etude house Fresh Cherry tint in OR201 Cherry Peach. Wow these smell delicious! But don't try to lick your lips after application. Lip tints never taste good... they're bitter. The babyface liptint smells like fresh peaches! Etude House lip tint smells like white grapes! They both smell sooo good. The Etude House lip tint is more of a milky pinky peach color and it gives my lips a "my lips but better" look. It gives off a shine and tint to my lips. It's not drying as far as I know. But I shall do a review on these two really soon!

Beauty Haul from Hongdae

So I met up with a 3 childhood friends of mine at Hongdae. Here's what I bought:

Clio Professional Gelpresso Waterproof Pastel Upper Liners

I walked around the Myeongdong shopping district several times and I finally went into Club Clio to get a few of the upper liners. There are pastel pink, purple, mint, and brown. Normally, they're 12,000₩ which is about $10-11 USD. They were on sale for 6,000₩($5 USD)! I was really excited but I only bought the purple one because the mint one was limited edition and they said they didn't carry it anymore... so sad! Luckily I remembered that Home Plus carried it. * Home Plus is a grocery/everything store. So today I bought the mint color except it cost 12,000₩... kinda expensive... It was the last one so it was worth it! After I swatched them I let them sit for a few minutes. And I just did a smudge test on my forearm. No smudge or budge, and its waterproof! But if you rub it with water it'll will come off. So it doesn't erase easily with water. I love it so far!
