“Just BB” premium blemish balm review !

January 27, 2013

This is one of my most commonly used foundations because of it’s whitening ability. I love that it doesn’t make my face look too cakey, but still evens the tone and adds a glow!

Here are some pictures of me wearing the foundation (no concealer, no powder) in different lightings. There are no edits made to the picture (except for the text) or filters added to any of the pictures.

This is a nice, basic bb cream (blemish balm cream) for a super affordable price. It’s unfortunately not available in the states, but be sure to check it out if you ever hit up some cosmetic stores in Asia!

What are some of your favorite foundations? 🙂

Stay tuned,

Ayumi Hamasaki Inspired Makeup !

January 15, 2013

Ayumi Hamasaki is famous Japanese singer and idol, whose makeup is natural with a gyaru edge to it. My dad and I have always been big fans of her, and I’ve grown up listening to her music.

I decided to do a take on her makeup, and the results were okay. I don’t look anything like Ayumi, but it was fun nonetheless.

Here are some pictures!
