Dolly make up FOTD

Hey Guys,
I had a pretty rubbish day yesterday, I finally got my Boys over flowers DVD, had to pay extra £15 for handling costs and when I tried on my apparently "multi-region" DVD player it wouldn't work, even after adjusting the settings to the right region and NTSC format it still wouldn't play. It doesn't work on my computer either and so I have no idea what to do. I was so desperate to start watching the series and now I can't!

To cheer myself up I tried some "Dolly" make up today,
I tried to copy Dakota Rose's eye make here, I don't know if it really worked!
I think it's fun to mess around with make up and try new looks, I am not trying to be dakota rose I was just inspired by her makeup!

Tsubasa Masuwaka Natural eye make up tutorial

I know I said that my first tutorial would be Go Hye Mi's make up from Dream High, but I was suddently inspired to do this make up look after looking for Tsubasa Masuwaka picture when she had dark hair.
This picture was my inspiration...

Quite natural, and dolly

So here is the make up tutorial
*disclaimer* I am not trying to be Asian, or Tsubasa Masuwaka, I am simply drawing inspiration from one of the top Gyaru models of the world

Apply a neutral, cream base to the eyes

Apply a warm brown colour to the crease of the eye to deepen the look of double eyelids

Apply the same warm brown colour to this portion of the eye

Apply a dark grey/black eye shadow colour to the outer corner of the eye

Apply False eyelashes, I am using Dolly Winks Otona lash in number 9 Natural dolly

A more natural lash would suit this look

Apply mascara to your lower lashes, or apply natural bottom lashes if your eyelashes are shorter

Clean up any smudges

Finally tight line you upper water line

Finished look

Ok sorry the picture quality isn't so good in the last pic, so you can't see the make up too clearly.

But it should look very natural but also quite dolly

Thanks for reading

Collection 2000 Colour pout lip stain review

Hey everyone,
Today I will be review Collection 2000's new lip stain, which I bought from Superdrug for just under £4.
I bought it in the colour "pucker"

I like the packaging, it's quite sleek and the colours of the cap reflect the colour (sort of) of the lip stain

Next Swatches!!

On the left (the brighter pink) is the collection 2000 swatch, I added my Revlon Just bitten stain on the right (colour frenzy) for comparisons sake

You can see that the Collection 2000 stain is much more pigmented and I think longer lasting

Swatch on the lips

This is with no other products, so my lips look a bit dry, you can see the colour does stain the dry area more, so I recommend ex foliating you lips before applying

Swatch on lips 2

You can see it looks much better here. 

I would wait for your lip balm to absorb before applying the stain, because the colour is much less pigmented when put over fresh lip balm

In conclusion, I have really enjoyed this lip stain so far, I like the colour a lot, it reminds me of the lips a lot of Korean actresses sport in K-Dramas. The colour is long lasting and I didn't feel the need to apply after eating/drinking. The cons may be that it is quite difficult to blend, and it does settle into dry areas.

Overall I think I give this

4/5

Foreign Ulzzang

This has been a topic that has been bugging me for a while
Can "foreign" people ( non-Korean people) be Ullzang.
A lot of people have been saying that no, foreign people cannot be Ulzzang, this is the reason...
The original Ullzang were Korean people who uploaded pictures to websites such as Cyworld and became famous or recognized because of there cuteness/handsomeness/beauty.
Because Cyworld is available only to Korean people, it is often thought that only people with access to Korean sites like these can become Ullzang.

This may have been true a few years ago but since then, it is my opinion that Ullzang has developed form a status to a style.
You get Ullzang make up tutorial, cosmetics, wigs, clothes etc..
People from all over the world have seen and adored this fashion and are trying to replicate it. I think Ulzzang has moved on from Cyworld into a fashion/style, and why should people not be allowed to wear a fashion/style because of there ethnicity.
Take Gyaru as an example, think about how many Gaijin Gyaru's there are out there, so many in fact that they are producing there own magazine-Gal VIP. I respect that a lot, they are being unique and confident in there style, and why shouldn't they??

To conclude it is in my opinion (I mean no harm to anyone in writing this post, I just want to share my opinion) that Ullzang has evolved from a status to a style, and why should anybody be restricted from wearing a fashion/style they admire, and love!

OK enough with the rant, tomorrow hopefully I will be putting up a review of Collection 2000's new lip tint!! I have really enjoyed this product so far, more on that tomorrow.
I also want to get on with my first make up tutorial, I think I might replicate Go Hye Mi's Dream Hi style, but I have to wait, my Dad has decided to lend me is amazing semi-professional Bridge Camera, I am so excited to try it out!!!!

Thank you for reading

FOTD and Boys over flowers

Ok, I'll admit it, I have become a little bit obsessed with Boys over Flowers of late,
I stayed up until four the other night and watched loads of episodes,
and I have just paid £36 (roughly 45 Euros or 56 American dollars) for the second box set of Boys over flowers.
I have had a bad experience when ordering K-Dramas before, I ordered Dream High off of ebay for something ridiculous like £12, and on most of the disks, the English subtitles were completely ridiculous.
Picture this, I am sitting happily about to embark on a major Dream High marathon, I wait expectantly as Go Hye Mi says something, the subtitles come up and this is what it reads...
Shark house, today five clock, grass, I told you head band
>-<
Anyway, the full box set was like 100 dollars, so I will just have to save up for the first and buy it another time!! I have watched up to episode 13 pretty much anyway.
I think I am going to have withdrawal  symptoms pretty soon, I keep finding myself shouting "Aish" when I am annoyed....

Recently I got the results back for my exams and the they were pretty good!!
So my sister bought me this when she was at the airport..

7 Mini pots of Nutella

She knows me soo well, I love how they think this will last a week >->
Also I will probably just eat it out of the jar, instead of on toast hahahahaha!!!!

Here is my make up for today, we went clothes shopping and my mum wanted to beat the rush so we where there my 9, I had to crawl out of bed at 7.30, that may be why I look tired in this photo..

I used...

Revlon colourstay foundation

Lily Lolo Mineral powder

Innisfree Marbling Highlighter

2true Lip and cheek stain

Lily Lolo blusher in "Candy Doll"

Fcuck eye shadow palette

Numer 17 liquid eyeliner in  Soft Mocha

Soap and Glory Thick and fast mascara

Collection 2000 black pencil eyeliner

Natural Collectio white pencil eyeliner

Vaseline lip care with Aloe Vera 

Collection 2000 Colour pout lipstain 8 "Pucker"

Review for the lipstain soon I think, although I just got it today haha!!
Ooooh i really want to listen to the soundtrack of boys before flowers now!
I wonder how much it is!!
I love the Shinee song Stand by me
Howl-Love you
Jisun-what do i do

Kim Yu Kung- Starlight tears, this song plays when there are sad moments with Jan Di and Jun Pyo, its such a sad but beautiful song!!
Also VA-Strange sun, which plays when there are sad moments with Ji Hoo. Ji Hoo plays it throughout the Drama on his violin and guitar, it is also played on the piano and might be my second favourite piano piece. First being a piano piece from the film Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence.
I think I might look on ebay now for the soundtrack!!

Anyway thankyou for reading as always! Have a nice day

Gyaru and Ulzzang?

Can you be both, or can you only be one??
I don't think you should be tied down to a certain style or I think you would just get bored,
it's fun to sometimes mix it up and experiment.

After watching a few Korean programmes recently (Boys over flowers and Ulzzang shidae) I have been more into experimenting "Ulzzang" or "best face" looks.
Not that I would classify myself as a full blown Gyaru or Ulzzang, I am too lazy haha  >_>
Anyway here are a few pictures of me experimenting with Ulzzang AND Gyaru make up...

Ulzzang

Gyaru

To be fair I don't think these pictures really look much different hehe..

but in person I think it looks much different, less shading, lighter blush, no falsies...ect

I think that they both require skill though to achieve, so I will just have to strife harder and practise more.

I suppose as well it isn't all about make up but clothes are important to. I really want to update my wardrobe soon as it is full of dark colours!!

In other news, I bought a wig off of ebay, I will review it as soon as It arrives!!

It's a dark brown, very long and slightly wavy/curly.

I hope it looks as good as it does in the pictures!!

Anyway, I think I will be talking more about Gyaru and Ullzang styles in the near future!!

Thankyou for reading!! :) xxxx
