FreshLight-Vanilla Beige Review

I wanted to change my hair color but I didn't wanna go to a salon, so I went to the drugstore near my place called Olive Young to look for hair color products.  I wasn't a big fan of a "do it yourself" when it comes to changing hair color because I often see no results.  But I decided to try it out anyway.  I picked up a japanese brand called Fresh Light in Vanilla Beige.
The package is very cute, it has this cute doll on the box.  Inside, it comes with a plastic gloves, hair conditioner, a plastic bottle that has a hair dyed product in it, a pump, and a hair color bottle.  It doesn't come in a hair conditioner-type texture, instead it's like a foam/mousse texture.  All you have to do is the same as every other product, the only difference is that it is easier to put it on your hair.  You don't have to squeeze the product out of the bottle, it is exactly like foam/mousse product so all you need to do is spray it on your hair.

Color-wise, I have to say I am very impressed! The color comes out just the same way the pictures on the box displayed. They have many colors you can choose from, so check it out--> here (the website is in japanese but you can get them ordered from ebay or amazon, if you are in Korea you can get them at Watson or Olive Young like I did)

Foundation Review (Oily Skin)

If you have oily skin, you should look for a water-based foundation or liquid foundation.  You should not look for cream foundation because it will leave you're skin a greasy finish.  Those cream foundations are best to use during winter to keep your skin moist.  A water based foundation may not cover your skin well comparing to a cream foundation.  Although the liquid foundation will cover better.  But if you are looking for a no-oil foundation, I recommend you go for a water foundation.

Water foundation:

Orbis:
I have tried some brands out and nothing compares to Orbis Foundation.  If you don't need the crazy coverage for your skin, this brand is perfect. The only bad part about this is that the texture is very thin, it is almost like water so if you put the product on your hand the product will drip everywhere.

Innisfree:
 Innisfree's water based foundation, isn't as thin comparing to Orbis, it is almost like Orbis Liquid foundation.  Even though it is thinner than normal foundation, it still has creamy texture.  So if you need more coverage, but worried about your skin being oily, then you can use Innisfree's mineral water foundation.




Liquid Foundation:

RMK:

RMK's Liquid foundation is almost like Orbis's Water foundation.  If you put on your hand the product will drip everywhere, that's how thin it is.  But if you compare it to Orbis's water foundation it gives you better coverage. It is not as thick comparing to the Orbis Liquid foundation and Innisfree's water foundation but it gives you enough coverage.



Orbis:

This is the foundation I use, if I'm not filming for the vdo, because it gives a natural finish, not greasy, and covers the red spots on my face very well.  I have had a troubled skin, I started using this and my skin got better! ^^  I know troubled skin people are scared to pact the makeups on the face because it might make it could make it worse but trust me, this liquid foundation is very light on the face so it won't clog the pores.

I wrote a review on Orbis foundation so please check it out! --> Orbis Foundation Review


Foundation Brushes

So I just want to write about the foundation brushes that I've been using recently.  Some people use the flat foundation brush like Sigma E60. I used it but it leaves stretch marks so I didn't find myself picking it up a lot.  However, I have started using Synthetic Kabuki brushes (Flat and Angled) and I like it a alot. They have this density but also has the quality of the kabuki brush so it blurs out all the stretch marks.  It is designed to apply powder, cream and liquid products without absorbing into the bristles.  So you get the full coverage without having to worry about the cakie face or brush marks.  I've been using in every vdos that I've made, so you can check it out here

The ones I recommend are:

Synthetic Simax Duo

These two brushes are on sale! from a $32 you can get them with just $24

Stage Makeup Final Project

I have taken stage makeup class during my last year in college at Hansung University, Korea.  The classes are taught in Korean (most of my classes are). And we had to do a final project.  So I'm just posting pictures up^^.

Eye shadows: all products used are from this new brand in Korea, called Too cool for school.  I like this brand a lot so far, it has a lot of loud colors.  The price acceptable too comparing to the department store brands.  I bought a lot of stuff to try, I'll write a review on that separately later when I have tried everything i bought.

So here it is!
