25 Questions: A Makeup Questionnaire

Published by Justine

Sunday nights usually mean a whole lot of beauty blog reading and YouTube-ing. This questionnaire was something I found from this blog so I decided to do it! I didn’t make it for this week’s The Sunday Currently because I napped at around 8pm and woke up past midnight (very hungry). I figured this is a pretty good entry considering I’m all about makeup nowadays. 1. Do you apply your foundation with a brush, sponge, or fingers? I don’t use foundation much because it makes my face look extremely cakey, so I use BB Cream, which I apply using my hands 98% of the time. At times when I feel like it, I use a brush. 2. Do you apply your eyeshadow from light to dark? or dark to light? Dark to light. 3. Do you prime your eyes? Yes, because I have really oily eyelids but my eyebrow area gets really dry, so I have to even it out. I use a Sephora face primer around the eye and T-zone area. I’m looking into …

Makeup et Moi, pt. 2

In 2011, my Sephora visit didn’t have any definite purchase plans but to accompany my mom with her cosmetic restocking. I figured I could get myself a new nail polish or a new lipstick. Instead, I ended up with a new BB cream, a couple of OPI nail polishes, and some new accessories like a mirror, hairbrush etc. I opted to purchase the Kameria Baby Face Anti-Acne & Pore Tightening BB cream SPF 20 (related post here because it cost the least among the others on display (at $29 as opposed to the other brands with $35-$50 range) and I was looking to buy one with the purpose of being curious to try it out. I also thought it fit most with my skin type because I grew up with a lot of acne. As a follower of the Korean entertainment culture, BB creams are mentioned a lot so I used to think it was overrated, to say the least. I didn’t really know what I was getting myself into. Like I said in my …

Makeup et Moi, pt. 1

I would say that 2013 is the year where I’m fully getting into cosmetics full time so I decided to try and make a series of blog posts about my journey so far. Aside from having a constant income that now allows me to purchase them and engage in cosmetic trial and error, this is the year I started to really “enhance” the outer me. I’ve been into makeup for as long as I can remember but being that kid with the worst acne (separate post for my skincare regime I guess), I was told to avoid them as much as possible. No products would fit my face and it seemed like anything I applied would result into breakouts. I guess I used the wrong products so they had very little influence on me. My mom, on the other hand, is a switcher. Anything works well with her face! She’d use high end products and can switch into drugstore products with no problem so I was always confused what kind or what brands to wear. …

BDJ Box: July 2013

Published by Justine

I’ve been saying that subscriptions boxes aren’t always for me, but look at this! Thank goodness I subscribed for a July box, because everything inside was definitely worth the subscription. I mean look at the box(es)! There was more to it than the usual black BDJ Box. I think I’ll just let the photos do most of the blogging..

BDJ Box: May 2013

Published by Justine

I felt like a kid on Christmas day as soon as I walked into the office yesterday. I had two packages, one from Mark with my new ASOS stuff and my May BDJ Box! I didn’t get any notification about the arrival of this box and it seems like it was ages ago when I ordered it, so I was definitely surprised and excited to receive my very first box from BDJ! I’ve read a lot of good things about them, how they’re very generous when it comes to the contents and boy it did not disappoint this month.
