ETUDE HOUSE 해피 에센셜 폴 #1 콜라겐 (Happy Essential Foam #1 Collagen) & Happy New Year!


This purchase simply came as a result of my previous cleanser running out... I needed a new cleanser~ and I knew I wanted an Etude House one ㅋㅋ it was just a choice of which one~  Kate is currently using the #2 히알루론산 and she liked it~ so I decided to try that series out~ but get the 콜라겐 instead~
As usual, I ordered through cosmetic-love and it only cost $9.48 so that was all great and perfect! I'm not going to go into the package and everything itself, because there's plenty of details of cosmetic-love as a seller on the haul tag ㅋㅋ

The product itself is a good size, it lasts for a long time, it doesn't smell too strong (it has the same scent as the 콜라겐 아이패지, which is understandable because they're both collagen products). The cleanser claims to "gently remove impurities...promote elasticity and firmness" and creates "happy...clean, smooth, and soft" skin [taken from the back English section of the bottle].
There's 150ml of product and I personally only use the same amount as I do toothpaste ㅋㅋㅋ but I suppose the amount of product you use depends on how big your face is and how well it lathers using your water (did you know that different types of water create different amounts of lather?)

Hallyu Takeover at Bluewater...


Something has changed recently hasn't it? Blogging is now easier~ and I think finally I'm starting to really enjoy this now~ it's no longer a chore and a massive load of work... it's currently 23:30PM and I've just come home from my trip out to Bluewater mall in Kent and I'm genuinely sitting writing this now...I've done photos~ I've done everything. Quickly. Wow. I'm motivated right now!

Maybe it's due to the title! Perhaps the first thing I should do is explain the title...
If you've already seen my twitter then maybe you've already guessed what I'm going to say~ but Mr Simple. In England. In John Lewis. Playing. All day. I think that's genuinely made my day right now. Not only that~ but Shindong and Sungmin had pretty good parts in it in my opinion ^^ Even though Heechul wasn't in this promo video (or Kangin) it wasn't too bad!
If you haven't seen the video (which I actually hadn't...) then you can watch it here...but obvs that version isn't in 3D like it was in the store~
I took a picture of it from one of the screens from you all, but because it's in 3D and my phone can't view...well 3D...because it doesn't have glasses ㅋㅋㅋ it looks kind of funny!

GET YOUR CRAYON~~~


Being the only person in the library...should make me more productive. However, without people judging me for not working, I'm so unmotivated (once again to do anything school related) so therefore, this hour of my life shall be partially spent by re-living my experience on the weekend!
BIG BANG 15.12.12 (shame it wasn't on the 12th really wasn't it?)
Well, Saturday was amazing. We'll just stick that out there! Loads of bloggers have already been way faster than me (is that anything new though really?) and already put up posts and vlogs on the day. Suzi, Xiao, and Nicol have all posted and obvs Seungri's video of the encore is up as well.

갈아만든 마스크 시트 알로에 [THE FACE SHOP - Real Nature Mask Aloe Vera]

Sheet mask time everyone! Don't these things make you happy? I've never reviewed a sheet mask before, mainly because the ones I've used have been only singular ones (I've bought them on their own, just as one sheet, as opposed to in a box like My Beauty Diary sell) but I bought 7 of The Face Shop's Real Nature Mask in Aloe Vera so I thought I'd share my thoughts on this one.

These are so cheap. I'm just putting that out there. On THEFACESHOP website, they come up at 1,000 won per mask. I actually bought mine on eBay though from a seller called heirofkoreanculture  (god awful name I know...but hey it was cheap) and I paid £4.23 for a pack of 7 of these masks, so actually...not too bad if I say so myself! (I didn't have any shipping charge or anything either.

Moving onto the mask itself...
Aloe Vera seems to be in everything! The mask has 1,000mg of grounded aloe vera apparently...and that means that this sheet should sooth and hydrate the skin. Basically just extreme moisturising at the end of the day. Aloe is good for sensitive skin, which explains why every product I use seems to have aloe in! The plant, aloe vera, itself comes from north Africa and spread to Europe and China in the 17th Century! There's so many uses for aloe vera, one of my favourite though is sun protection~ but you can read about all of these yourself here if you like instead ㅋㅋㅋ

Why is my face too small? I have a face like SHINee's Minho, which just seems to be too small for everything in life~ from eye masks to sheet masks~ masks just seem to hate my face!
It seems like it fits the faces of Koreans though, I was checking out some other reviews of this mask~ and I found one on naver of a Korean girl who used the Aloe one as well~ and it fit her perfectly! So it's obviously just me that's the problem here!

Christmas Cosmetics!


I've ordered lots of products (both cosmetic and clothings and stuffs) over the past month so far~
(I swear last week I must have looked like a courier...I got a parcel every day from Hong Kong/Korea~~)
So instead of writing 5 or 6 posts about hauls, I decided just to stick all of my parcels into one post!
I'm not reviewing anything in this one though, just letting you know what I bought!
(Warning: Image Heavy!! ㅋㅋㅋ)

1: The Face Shop
This is a package from an eBay seller called heirofkoreanculture, they sell face masks and cosmetics. I bulk bought some of The Face Shop's Real Nature Mask Sheets in #1 Aloe.
(These are the samples I received ^^)

Here's the packages of the Face masks! I think I have enough here to last about two/three months! ㅋㅋㅋ

2: Etude House and Innisfree
A package post wouldn't be a package post without something from cosmetic-love! ^^ I ordered a cleanser (which is the same line as nonstopnyankate's - but in collagen) and an Innisfree mascara ㅋㅋㅋ because I love Innisfree! ...I also ordered some Christmas presents, so I won't show you them~~ because it's not Christmas yet!

Yay! Bubble wrap! I love how well packaged cosmetic-love stuff are ^^ that sounds really stupid -_-

Here's my products (I've removed the ones which are actually presents to people though :D)

Here's the samples! I got another Nesura strip, Missha BB and some Cleansing Cream ^^

3: YesWalker/YesStyle
I also ordered from YesStyle's new sub-site (yeswalker) ^^ so that's a surprise! I'm going to do a huge post on that later on once my friends one is delivered as well~ but it's nice ;D ahaa~
I bought a bag from them, and I'll just put this out there! Yeswalker's delivery seems to be better than YesStyle and YesAsia's ㅋㅋㅋ

Those are the only package's I'm going to share...because all the others were Christmas presents to people ㅋㅋㅋ so I can't really share those ones! ^^
Have a nice day~ and everyone who's going to BB today, see you there! ^^ kekeke~
<3

24 freaking thousand~!


That's right, 24000 tweets. That's a milestone isn't it? I now seem to be counting every time I reach another 1000 mark, but it's so much fun! Looking back at some of my past tweets and what I was like, even if it's only from the start of the year! I've changed so much and I've grown up so much during 2012! It sounds cheesy, but I'm proud of myself.


The Ultimate Magic Cream


I've been meaning to talk about this for a while...and simply just haven't got around to it. But here it goes. I'm going to let you guys in on a little secret. Sudocrem.

 First? Lets go over a bit of history and background information. Mainly because it's kind of funny, and I've been using the stuff forever, and I didn't actually realise where it had come from or anything!
It's by Forest Tosara Ltd and the main ingredient is Excipients. Sudocrem is described as a 'medicated cream aimed primarily at the treatment of nappy rash' {looool~ㅎㅎ.}
It was created in 1931, by a guy named Thomas Smith (could you have a more common name?) and was therefore originally called "Smith's cream".
Nice little fact whilst I was finding this out as well? Cheryl Cole uses the stuff as well 하하~
