Korean VS Japanese Celebrities

When it comes to high fashion, sophistication and sass, the Koreans have it.

They do wicked fashion spreads and their skin is always flawless looking.

Sometimes, I do feel like the koreans look is a bit restricted. They rarely have colorful eyes and their lips never veer too far from a nude or pink shade.

 

KOREA

NATURAL – STYLISH - MATURED LOOKING – FLAWLESS SKIN

Japanese Street fashion is stylish to me. Their Magazine spreads tend to be perfectly airbrushed, photo shopped to death but always fun and trend setting. They have 547228 ways of creating a smokey eye and are super daring in terms of fashion and makeup. Trust the Japs to make doll eyes and colored eyeliner fashionable and making Hime hair all the rage

 

JAPAN

BRIGHT– FUN – KAWAII – EXPERIMENTAL - OVER THE TOP 

There are many Korean and Japanese fashion and beauty trends I adore. When I feel colorful, I veer more to the Japanese side and when I want something simple yet classic, its the Koreans  I look to…

How about you ? Which style do u prefer with regards to fashion and makeup?

CIAO BELLAS~

ETUDE HOUSE ReVieW

It’s been some time since my last tiny mini haul.

Walking past Plaza Singapura, I stumbled across the newly opened Etude House for a look see.

I ended up being tempted and the rest is history:-

FREEBIES:

BABY SKIN VEILING SPF22, $21 ++, for my Korean drama loving Mother. She loves using Hanskin BB cream and compact powder, so I thought she might like to give this a try. Her skin type is definitely less sensitive as compared to mine. My mom has no problem using powders and blusher… She’s lucky and so different from me, cause I tend to get many clogged pores with compact powder and foundation:(

55 KISSFUL TINT CHOU #3 strawberry,$13++, gives a sheer wash of light pinkish color, which looks absolutely clear on my dark lips( I so need a concealor that Blair blogged about). It has a lip balm texture to it and will not stay on for long periods of time unfortunately. I will not repurchase this lip product cause the color and stay factor really loses out to the Japanese drugstore range…. It’s too much like a clear regular lip balm with a higher price tag.

TEAR DROP LINER, White, $10++, I adore this product :) It’s super easy to use and I place a little of it in the inner lower corners of my eye & immediately I’m looking a ‘lil bit more Ulzzang! I am so going to use this in future for alot of my Jap & korean inspired looks….

It’s pretty pretty & sparkly sparkly!

Finally, EYE GLOW PENCIL in #07 Egyptian Blue, $10++ (I think?) I haven’t gotten the chance to use it yet but I like the texture and color. I normally get black but that’s so boring… …

I’ve been happily experimenting with a longer winged eyeliner and the result has been pretty “ Catty Looking” :)

On an entirely separate note, I’ve been seeing so many great bloggers who have amazing SHOES!

My feet are super tender and I need to be able to move quickly and walk alot and as such I’ve always loved sandals. I’ve tried wearing heels and fancy looking shoes but I always revert back to Flip Flops, cause of the pain from blisters and what not..….. Unfortunately, the working world does sometimes require better looking feet!!! Shit.

In a bid to resemble a working class lady, I bought these shoes…

But the blisters on my toes and feet, after just one day is killing meee………. I luv the peep hole in front though….. My gawd, what a shoe dilemma.

COMFORT VS ASTHETICS!!!
