Special Announcement!

So it's been a couple of weeks now in which my announcement has been just sitting there...waiting to be told~ and now I have a few announcements to eum~~~ announce? A couple of my 언니 are probably already aware of these~ but the majority of people aren't...

Let's get on with it then~ and I'll let you in on the little secrets and stuff that has happened recently~ And I've also got one from about August time that I haven't told any of you~ But since I'm writing about all of this stuff now, I'll stick that in as well ㅋㅋ


So lets go in chronological order then through these announcements? I've got three~ so let's start in August!

Ahaha~ so it's results day (well not now obviously, but skip back to when it was results day ㅋㅋㅋ) I'd got 100 in the Religious Ethics AS paper~ so that's partially why I'm now filling out my uni applications and everything and writing Philosophy on all of them~ :') and I enjoy it of course as well, I was also the first person in my sixth form to ever get full marks ㅋㅋㅋ *clap clap clap*
Okay~ so that's over now!

Next one!
Now it's a couple of weeks ago~ and I got the OK to take my Shodan in Shotokan Karate~ so that means that if I pass on the 13th December (the day of my exam) I'll officially be a black belt, so that'll be all exciting and stuff! I didn't want to mention it on the day though before, because I obviously get injured quite a lot~ so I didn't want to jinx anything by announcing it and then breaking a ton of bones or something~ but I've decided to man-up and just tell you all now! So that'll be hard, and it's also going to end up being my excuse for why I'm so tired now and why I'm not blogging as much...
But I had my first 'revision session' on Thursday...and I ended up coming out with a huge gross bruise~ so I'm going to be broken by the time it gets to the exam xD
Have a look!

Injury #1 - The Current State of My Arm xD

And FINALLY! :D Probably the only exciting one for everyone else~ My 언니 and I got our BIG BANG ALIVE TOUR tickets for London on Wednesday last week~ so we're officially now going to go to see Big Bang :) This will be the first concert with my 언니 and it'll be my second time seeing a k-pop performance ever since I missed CN Blue and SHINee etc...
(The only other guys I've seen are DNT (디엔티) -- that's dragon n tiger -- and as lovely as they were...I'm not sure they really on the same level as BIG BANG!! xD
So that's the 15th December, I'll remember to take a million photos of the day and I'll share them with you all~ so expect that post to be huge

Are any of you going to Big Bang's London concert as well? 
Have a nice day everyone 

미샤 타임 레볼루션 - 더 퍼스트 트리트먼트 에센스

I remembered the other day after watching a cm that I had a 미샤 sample that I hadn't used yet. Currently my face is really dry due to the change in British weather, so I'm having a sudden need for products which hydrate my skin - normally I have a really oily face so you can see my problem here - whilst watching TV, a commercial appeared which ended up saving my face, it's a pretty simple advert and it's only 15 seconds long (so I decided to stick it in this post so you can watch it...)

I have a really dry t-zone at the moment, so applying this really helped and I think I'll be buying to full-size of this essence ㅋㅋㅋ which is saying something because I never really buy essences.

스킨푸드 Samples #1

I honestly am not sure how long this post has been sitting hanging around in my drafts section...I actually hadn't used the Emulsion until this week, simply because I have no use for an emulsion. Having oily/sensitive skin, thick products like emulsions are generally of no use to me. And I barely use products like this, so because I didn't replace it with anything (and because I liked the packaging, so I didn't want to ruin it by ripping it! But I suppose I did actually take a picture!)

Welcome to part one of the 스킨푸드 Sample section. Instead of reviewing the products individually, I'd like to sit and review these in pairs simply because I think it'll be easier and due to the size of these samples, they are of course single use and therefore I haven't got a really clear view on these products, just a simple first impression and how they react with my skin type.

Before I actually get into the cream and emulsion themselves though, I thought I'd give a quick overview on 스킨푸드 themselves~ *I'm getting my information from Skin Food's US site if anyone is curious* 

their motto is "good food for health is also good for the skin" and their concept is 'food' - apparently they're the first brand to use this concept...personally, I'm not sure why you'd feel the need to have food based cosmetics...(and cactus? please let me know if you've ever actually eaten a cactus or class it as food? ㅋㅋㅋ)

Skin Food see their products as a solution to problems long-term, they use the phrase "To protect your skin for 14 years, not just for 14 days." Of course, this isn't literally, but you get the idea~ they're more the sort of brand who work on prevention and cure (over concealer). Instead of letting you get old and then give you a ton of concealing creams afterwards, they're the brand who keep your skin hydrated and healthy so you don't actually age as much in the first place. 

They then carry on and tell me that they love my skin and all that regular jazz that all brands tell you, I do find the Korean brands pretty reliable so far though~ 

I thought I'd also mention that they began in 1957...I'm not sure whether you'd class that as old or new honestly, and I don't actually know much about Korean history...so I don't know particularly what Korea was like in the late 50's...but yeah, that's when they started!
