Mini haul in Korea

So my grandma and I went to Etude House to get Precious mineral Any Cushion in natural beige W13 and goodbye pore ever primer. They were having a 1 + 1 deal on sunscreen which is like buy one get one free deal in the US. So I bought sunprise super aqua spf35 PA++. Then we went to homeplus to get skinfood facial water vita-B mist.

I have combination oily skin so I need my makeup to last all day. I got help from the sales lady and all of these are for those with combination to oily skin tones, even the sunscreen!

I learned that I have to dress up like a model for my internship so my aunt and uncle bought me 2 department store outfits and a pair of kitten heels. I also need to wear makeup which is why I had to buy these... I don't wear a ton of makeup in the summer because it melts off. But hopefully this works out.

My Used Up Empty

So I know some Youtube people have been posting up their "empties" aka used up products, but I don't use a lot of products every day... So here's one that I've used up and loved. It's the Naruko Tea Tree Night Gelly. It was a clear gel type and it was really moisturizing. This is for combination/oily skin types. It was a bit pricey for 2 oz of product. It cost around $22 at a nearby Chinese Market. It is a Taiwanese product. It left my skin feeling soft and silky. The packaging is high quality because it's glass instead of plastic. The picture shows the jar as blue, but it is actually purple. Also the product came with a little black spatula. This lasted me for almost a year since I've used it sparingly. I feel like it helped with my occasional acne. I also added a few drops of Tea Tree oil into the product. Before I added the Tea Tree oil into it, the gel did have a slight tea tree oil scent to it. I do recommend the product though.  

Going to Korea!

Hi readers! It's been quite a while since I blogged anything. Yup, just as the title says, I'm going to Korea on May 13th and I'll be back in August. I'll be a paid intern at my uncle's company. I speak Korean too, but his company speaks mostly English. So it's all good~ I'll definitely be buying some Korean brand cosmetics and a few cute clothes. Best of all, I'll be with my relatives and we'll be going to historical sites which I'm very excited about! I'll try to remember to post up a blog with my phone since I won't be taking my laptop. Well I'll post soon!

New Elf Eyelid Primer??

So I was at Target the other day and I found Elf's eyelid primer, but I noticed the packaging was different. The corner of the packaging said "NEW!" Maybe the formula changed? So here's a comparison between the two. Top is new and bottom is old.

                                                   Top: New
                                                   Bottom: Old

  The consistency seems to have changed from the older one. The new formula is more watery. The old formula is kinda chalky.

When blended out the old one leaves somewhat of a white/chalky cast. The new one blends to an invisible finish.

I used a matte brown eyeshadow from my limited edition wet n wild spring 2013 palette to see the difference. I would say they work about the same, but I think the new formula really brings out the color. For longevity, I'm not quite sure. It's eyelid primer; I'm sure it'll stay on for a few hours.
