Hand cream- Lancome Absolute Mains/Aveeno

I had to see dermatologist because my hands were too dry for every seasons. So I really need to use hand cream all the time.

When you start talking about hand cream, I have a lot of things to talk about!!!!

So I recommend some products.

There are some anit-aging hand creams due to several women suffering from the wrinkles showing on their hands.

The skin of the hand is thin so it is easier to get wrinkles.

The reason for the wrinkles is the sunlight and lack of moisture.

The sunlight creates black moles and freckles on the hands so when you are going out you need to have sun protection cream.

It sounds tiring but have to do it before you regret after it had happened.

Using a hand cream that has sun protection is also a good idea.

Lancome Absolute Mains hand cream contains SPF.

It gives high moisture so it has said that many celebrities use it.

It is too rich filled with substance.

But when you think of it as a protection it is wearable.

I have the worst dry skin ever for my hand that cracks every day so I went to the hospital. He said the problem is in daily habit.

He said it is good that you wash your hands often but not too much. (In middle school I washed my hands over ten times a day and for every resting time.)

After that I used the hand cream as always and tried every new one.

Now when I try any hand cream I can tell how long it will last and how moisture it is.

First thing to consider instead of the wrinkles is the amount of moisture in the hands.

So using the hand cream for every other hour or day can solve the problem of lacking of moisture.

Now I am using Aveeno hand cream but during the past days before using this product I used L’occitane.

L’occitane have great smell and applies smoothly!!!with long persistence. GREAT!

I am still attached to this product so I recommended to everyone around me so they are all using it. Everyone says it is really good.

The launch of Aveeno isn’t that long in Korea but because of the advertisement, it is starting to get popular.

Before Aveeno was launched in Korea, I have used it for a month now.

I have looked at the price in the department store and it is the best price ever! I was surprise by the inexpensive price and again by the function. The substance is made out of oatmeal and has just bit of smell but can hardly smell it.

1 was into this product because of the fast absorption. Some people say that it doesn’t last long but it can happen when you don't wash your hands often.

Of coarse I like the moisturizing effect.

In the advertisement it says the substance of the oatmeal holds the moisture in the hands so it is better to use right after washing your hands.

In some magazine, this hand cream was ranked number one comparing to other hand cream products. 

It made me happy as if my child received a reward because I was using it before. Hahaha

PAPA Tip.

If you have worries on having too much wrinkles don’t trust the words of the hand cream.

Go see the dermatologist.

It can turn back to the hands itself by receiving ‘natural lift laser’

For the people who don't have wrinkles yet,

Let us protect from using the hand cream make it moisturizing. 

Waxing the hands and fingers

Having a black hair on the smooth milky skin surface is a crime.

It is great to do the waxing in the nail shop with the official honey for waxing and using the muslin cloth to remove the hair.

The hair will grow after few days when you use shaver so it is better to remove the roots of the hair.

Comparing to other products the Nad’s is expensive but can really remove all the hairs.

It is good for removing the fine hair on the hands however much better for using arms, legs, and under arms.

Great for summer season and can be used really well.

There isn’t much smell to it.

Kanebo tape is much easier to use.

This product is for the fingers.

Place on the part were there is hair and taking out from the reverse side it stings a little and removes all the hair.

It is recommend to the people who brings down the social image because of the fine hairs on the fingers.

PAPA Tip.

If you have too much hair and gives you worries do a laser treatment could remove it eternally.

Receiving the care for 2 to 3 times is enough.

Per treatment it causes about 50,000won.

Benefit some kind-a gorgeous lite compact foundation

For the last past months I am love with 'compact foundation.'

I want to sleep 5 minutes more to call as a make up.

I can’t be late because I am getting ready and putting the entire make up.

Also I can’t go out with bare face, my age won’t allow me to do so.

Compact foundation is

You don't have to place it on back of your hand

Also no need to hold up a mirror

Inside the car or waiting at the street and even by walking you can apply it.

It is very quick

So it clears out your skin and gives an effect of 5thousands blotches looking into only 3thousands.

So it only helps to gain at least social respectability.

Should I say compact powder is too thick??

The products that comes out this days aren’t

There are many products that are lighter than BB cream.

Even though it applies lightly, it covers the face well.

All the products have their characteristics in variety of forms so don’t just go ahead and buy but pay attention to those.

You can choose a product that fits with your style and ideal.

Really~

Benefit some kind-a gorgeous lite 9.5g 45,000won

As you know

Looking from the outside it is moisturizing even when you are applying.

It is very soft as soon as you apply and the finishing is very powdery.

It is very light and looks natural are the only strong point of this product.

There is strong pros and cons.

The reason that I didn’t want to buy this is the color.

For the people who use brighter #21 color won’t have any effect on gaining a radiance on their face.

The only satisfaction is from the long usage of this product.

It is thin and has short persistence.

But having a weak point on the range of colors it could helps to look natural.

If you apply darker shade than your skin tone, there is no radiance

But without any skills and concealer you could cover small blotches on the face.

Saying the easy way,

It is possible to cover because of color that is matching the blotches on the face.

So using this method,

For the male celebrities who don’t need brightness on their face, they would use like this product and cover the blotches on their face with darker shades than their actual tone.

From here is about Some kind-a gorgeous medium.

Lite was newly launched

It was about to grab the attention of pale skin tone people

But the color is..;;;

The application is same but the coverage got lower.

As the color got lighter,

The natural coverage by the original wasn’t there.

How can you call this a foundation?

When I researched on the Internet, there were only positive comments

that made me mad.

This product from Benefit

makes the face transparent with oil free.

It doesn’t make the face transparent

But I think this product is the transparent one.

It is pass natural looking as if you don’t apply any foundation.

I have used it myself and my sister said,

How can you go out without any makeup on?

It really makes me feel like the only cosmetic I used is sun cream.

Comparing with the colored sun protection cream has more coverage.

The persistent is not satisfying.

From the first place I don't know if I have applied any

So it makes me the make up needs retouch or not

Adding only new color doesn’t make a new product. I didn’t understand why is like that but well the color is new all right.

It is cream type compact so there are no worries on breaking.

But when you drop it the broken mirror falls onto the product.

(like the other products the puff is top of the content but this one is at the bottom)

If the mirror broke definitely have to throw it away and more chance of contacting dust.

Foundation these days at least contains SPF 10 but this doesn't.

Is it saying to take the sunlight through a mouth or what.

It is really a mystery.

I am using original gorgeous well as not a foundation but for a shading product.

I don't use it with a puff inside but with the big foundation brush.

To make the skin appear moisturize I use this product.

This product shades matches well with my foundation and leaves no marks on the face.

If you have darker shade of tone it is better to use deeper shade than original gorgeous.

Of coarse I am saying that it works as shading.

You can use any dark shade foundation for shading.

I am only using it that way because I have to finish it and I’m satisfies on how I use it.

Ha~~

I really want you to keep way from purchasing for the Lite.

If you have clear skin and doesn’t care about the coverage and likes it because it feels light.

Calling this as enough coverage than thinking of the skin

I really want to tell you to use colored sun protection cream instead.

The coverage is low and its light because is only one application needed not like gorgeous.

Easy to apply in layer and easy to fix. 

By the way it provides SPF so it is much better.

When you are doing the retouch on the after noon, it is hard to say that it is light.

How can you say it finishes like a powder without powder?

All right you have to admit what is right.

The content of the color its hard to give powdery finish.

For myself I would give up on that finish.

But when you felt the powdery finish you can really feel the positive point of this product.

So if you want this type of feeling,

Not minding about the price

There is brand called Kevynaucoin.

Also Giorgio Armani is possible

Amore Pacific Hydrating Fluid

Amore Pacific Hydrating Fluid 60,000won

This is not mind.

I don’t know about others but when I think about ‘Amore’ reminds me of my mom’s product.

So I didn’t really give my attention.

However my mom is a manic in using Sulwhasoo cosmetics and she got this as a gift so she was using this and recommending to me.

I didn’t really listen to her and said it works for your skin only.

But I heard some information in the makeup shops and this works really well for dry puling effect on the face.

I thought makeup artists use only exported cosmetics but also use Amore.

I have a toner that I am using for ages so I use my mom’s toner sometimes.

For the person who uses toner and want to have moisturizing effect is well recommend using this product.

My face doesn’t have pulling feeling after a wash but for the people who feels dry and have pulling effect use this product.

Especially when the makeup doesn’t apply well, use this tonner at the last step on skin care. Put enough amount of the tonner on the facial cotton and wipe your face.

You can clearly see the moisturizing effect.

PAPA Tip.

Even though you have using skin care cosmetics try using with it.

This is made in Korea but the price is too expensive. I was really surprised and I looked at it.

Did I too much disregard Amore cosmetics??

One more thing from Amore pacific is the Skin energy mist~!!!!

I don’t really get the feeling of dryness or roughness after the makeup

so I don't use mist.

However when you are using the mist, I recommend using Amore Pacific. Of course this was advise from my friends.

It helps the makeup to settle down.

Many models use this and from that my friends hard about it so trying out aren’t too bad.

Hair essence SkinFood

Skinfood Extra Virgin Olive Essence 5,500won

The thin hair always gets electricity for the whole four seasons.

The more damage the hair is it causes more electric to occur

I can’t let this destroy hairstyle!!!

Skinfood hair essence!!!! The price is low that can be purchase when you skip one meal!

I don't really use Skinfood products but I heard that one or two products are good and this is one of the products.

This hair essence was compared among other high priced hair essence products on some magazines and was placed as number 1.

The smell is neat! There are no other words to describe but just neat.

So there are no problems using this.

It controls the messiness and give shine to the hair so its good~

PAPA Tip.

For the long hair, it is hard to not to use hair drier. It will take forever to just dry as it is.

So don’t be lazy and be stingy to your hair when it comes to buying hair essence.

If you want to be like Jeon Jee Hyun (Korean actress known for long and very shiny hair)

For the people who use wax due to short and perm hair, before using the wax, use essence.

So it protects the hair.

At the end it gives shine to the hair and helps to create natural hairstyle with a 

wax.

Deborah Lippman Nail, nail polish recommendation, MARCIA/AREZIA, nail art, mac pigment, mix

I was about to post last night but I met some friends to write them a scenario for their date.

My friends are not pretty like me but want to have a date.

We learn our dating skills through words.

Few months ago I was watching a Korean movie called ‘Cyrano Agency’ and from that movie it reminded me of my high school days.

I liked to invent a fake date for my friends. I made a scenario, which was more detailed than a movie.

Haha

Some of the scenarios are still at my house.

It is very funny but I feel too shy to reveal it to you guys.  

If you read too much about psychology during your teens you might turn out to be like.

During the peak of the puberty time there might be some side effects.

That is my rule in writing..!

I try to connect two people and of course if there is any competition I eliminate them.

I don't listen to any dating problems.

That is their problem that I can’t interfere.

Also if they need some back cover I could become one.

I tried doing 3 different people in 1 voice.

If you follow the scenario, I take responsibility to make it 100% until relationship develops.

But.

Some friends can’t take in the scenario so have to give up.

If I ask for the cost it is the trust between us.

If I need them for my own relationship I ask for their alibi or some actresses needed for the fake scene.

I can’t get rid off my past writing skills so even until now I am doing a favor from my friends.

Opps. I went to far now. I should stop here.

Today’s topic is about..

The nail polishes that I purchased in Hong Kong.

It is hard to do a review on the nail polishes that I bought in Hong Kong so this is only some of it.

I have to do hair posting, another different makeup review, and more.

First of all…

MARCIA & AREZIA

All of them were 4.5ml mini size and the price is less than 1,000won in Hong Kong.

The products are inexpensive. It is Made in France that is exported to United States and around Asia.

Even me I didn’t know about the brand.

If it was made in China I bought about two or so but it was made in France so I bought these many.

I am very shameful.

I have said that I didn’t like the glitter that much but I think I am getting old..

I let myself go when I see glitters and my heart starts to pump faster than normal.

There were so many colors than these but I only picked polishes that have glitters on them.

I have bought all kinds of glitters per color.

On the right side, there are no glitters but I just bought the purple color because it was pretty.

I didn’t buy them to paint my nails with only one color but I would like to mix them according to the occasion.

I want to present in various way with the colors.

There is no need to describe; you could see it from the picture.

As you can see almost all of them are glitters.

Glitter, shimmer, frost and pearl.

The difference between glitter and shimmer is that..

When the particles are really shining and have thick sparkles are called glitter.

There are many tiny sparkles that is hard to spot them is called shimmer.

Also for frost and pearl it have really tiny shimmer that can’t be really founded individually and looks like frosting in the winter.

In Korea we all say any glitter polishes ‘Pearl’

So understand by large, medium, and small glitters.

It is hard for the people to differentiate, as there are many similar polishes that doesn’t have big difference with each other.

When you look at this picture, you could tell difference right?

When you use a glitter polish in a wrong way it might look rustic or too much.

However when you use it well it could look like a fashionable jewelry item.

Most of the Koreans like soft pastel color so when sometimes they paint it with bright colors, they might feel uncomfortable.

So most of the Korean polishes are not into producing fancy nail polishes.

It is really hard to find a glitter in the department stores that would captivate my eyes.

So isn’t it right for me to go crazy for the glitter polish when I saw them this much??..;;;

Say yes~~

The white cover is MARCIA.

It’s very cute and like the mini size.

It is really hard to finish any nail color maybe except black and red polishes.

It is nearly impossible to use the whole bottle of nail color aside from the base and top coat.

So when I buy the original size, I paint my friends nail.

I hope there are more mini polishes for even the price is cheap.

I don’t have much word for the products. It’s just a glitter polish.

The size of the glitter is different from each other.

On the second picture, the purple color on the right side is really hard to find.

So when you see like this color just bring it with you.

The third picture is a shimmer and frost pearl type that could be pretty with only using one color. Well.. even glitter well just do with several of coats. Smaller the glitter it should apply many coats.

The transparent cover is AREZIA

Same for this polish divides with glitter/shimmer/frost and pearl.

The price of this nail polish was really inexpensive. This kind of price is hard to found in Korea only in sale products that you can’t even know where it came from.

I have really bought this polish because of the inexpensive price but some of the polishes are above expectation.

I guess you have understood the difference between those glitters.

When you look in close up it is these colors.

How could I get this color just for 1,000won in the last picture from the left side the third nail polish

Contains enough mixed amount of reddish purple glitter.

I won’t show you application of the color because even though you like this I don’t think you can purchase it so easily in Korea.

There is not much to learn about for just painting the nail polish.

However doing other nail posting, I will use these nail polishes.

The polishes that are similar to Korean brand nail color.

Today’s high light is the Major Point Symbol.

The colors ready pilling off and can’t really see the glitters. Deborah Lippman Nail Color…!

I painted only one coat so most of them are gone.

I can’t erase it even though it has past 10 days. I can’t bear to look as they are going away.

I have found this picture from yahoo.com so if they tell me erase it I have to. I have state my URL.

On the way to the airport I stopped at a IFC mall and I found something really nice.

As you can see from the picture, the transparent glass case was different from others.

It have catch my attention so I tested on my nails and wow.~~~

But the mystery in this situation is that why did I just turned around…

I was going crazy for the clothes and other present for my friends so I didn’t get to pat attention to my own things.

I told myself I would come back for it but I forgot and went straight to the airport and rode a plane.

I was in a shock as I remember the polish as I was eating my lunch in the plane…..  

Turn the airplane~~~~~~~..

My sister is really strict so she doesn’t wear hot pink nail color.

I have to force her to wear it or when we go out of the country.

Even our mom says to do so she would never.

The picture of the polish on the nail wasn’t pretty but many said I like this nail polish so I hear to talk about it.

‘Silver/red/green/blue/yellow’

Roughly these are the colors found in the polish.

That is why it is fancy.

When you look at it the size of the glitter seems similar but when you actually wear them they aren’t.

I didn't know the brand name or heard about in Hong Kong I was busy testing out for the products.

I was regretting of not able to purchase the nail polish.

So I was telling someone that I think I need to go back and get it but she said she will try to make it by herself with mixing some glitters together.

Today is the day when some one twitted me through Korean chatting program (Metoday)

She told me the name of the polish saying its Deborah Lippmann, Happy Birthday? So I got to know the name of the polish. I was looking through yahoo to see if it is the right polish because I know how it looks like.

Finally it was the product that I was looking for.

Thank you so much for telling me the name!!

But!.

On the days when I didn’t know about the export cosmetics even my friend who lived the United States for 8 years didn’t know about this product.

I hope I got some information on this so I can’t be calm down and have to come home to search for the information.

So I just came home after drinking cup of tea.

Single

This is the picture taken by applying only this product.

I have used variety of nail pictures from long to short nails to make you understand how it appears.

In my opinion on trying this polish,

The top two pictures are 2 coats and pictures at the bottom is 3~4 layers.

The size of the glitter is diverse but for this polish you have to have apply several times.

It is hard to apply evenly with few touches of glitter only.

Well~ does it only me this who thinks this nail polish is pretty?

I really like this.

This polish can be used during any four seasons with adding fantastic colors.

On the information that I found is that this polish is made from manicurist Deborah Lippmann. Many Hollywood celebrities uses this polish and the price is much higher than OPI so it is not really publically known.

But can be found in some departments.

I didn’t really got some information but I know that this color is favored by many people.

Layered

This is the real color that is favored by women on the States.

Personally I don’t think layering is pretty with this polish.

Applying ivory/beige for the base color will be better as like the feet picture.

Single would be better for the whole fingernails but giving a layering for a point would pretty.

I haven’t tried it out yet but just an idea.

Costs about $18

The price isn’t cheap but I think I have to bring it with me.

I am looking for friends who can do me a favor who can buy and send this product to me.

I feel sorry about it…

There was a same glitter polish that I bought in the mini size with white cover on top.

The size are different but the contain of color are the same (silver/red/green/blue/yellow).

The image is different comparing to the Deborah’s polish.

The size is 3 times small and price is 20times cheaper.

I was board so I colored my middle (3), ring finger (4), and pinky (5) and what is these???~~~~~

I have mixed the eye shadow powder that is found in MAC pigment.

I mixed with clear nail polish with pigments to make a nail polish.

3 - Fuchsia

4 – Coco motion

5 – limited product

The reason why I can’t apply smoothly is that the blending done with a machine actually however I use a spatula to do the mixing and did it quickly not releasing the air all the way.

There was no nailbrush to do the mixing so the color didn’t mixed well together. However, collecting some tools and being prepared, it be possible to make an only color found in the world doing 3 time of experiments. 

I will make my own color and wear them.

Well, I don't have that much time to do so.

There is a limitation.

For Mac and NYX the pigment are already fixed as it is so like in the picture, the color comes out to be shimmer and frost pearl.

At home there are colors that doesn’t have glitters on them…

When it goes like this, it will create a much work to do.

Dandruff shampoo Kerastase Noctocalm

Kerastase Noctocalm 30ml, 4,2000won
