BB Cream

What can I say, this stuff is genius!!!

I actually discovered BB Cream by accident. I like buying Asian cosmetics, so one day when I was shopping on Ebay I happened to come across the powder. I bought it, really liked it and after a few months when I was running low decided to buy more. I couldn’t find it, but I found the liquid kind, so I bought that one because it said that it helps with acne and wrinkles. I luved it!

Ok for those of you who don’t know what bb cream is here’s a little background on this product:
  "BB cream, also known as Blemish Balm, Blemish Base or Beblesh Balm, is a cosmetic item sold mainly in East and Southeast Asia.
Originally formulated in Germany by Dr. med. Christine Schrammek it was initially used by dermatologists to help laser surgery patients protect, soothe and refine highly sensitive skin while providing light coverage for post-laser scars, acne and other blemishes.

BB creams come in a variety of different formulations and qualities. Some are said to have skin whitening or brightening properties. Others are anti-acne, some are anti-wrinkle, some are intended to even out skin tone, and yet others to lighten blemish scars. BB creams are sometimes used like a primer under foundation, and if tinted may even replace foundation and some newer ones will have functions of primer, foundation, moisturizer, sun block, pore minimization and skin refining together which can save time and money in make-up."  -Wikipedia.com (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BB_cream)

Now since it’s originally from Asia that means that its color is based on Asian women (that means it’s light), but that doesn’t mean everyone else can’t us it. I’m Mexican so I have a year-round tan, but I can still pull it off (at least I think lol) well at least until summer comes around. Ok so now, that doesn’t mean darker shade women can’t use this, oh no. You can still use it the only thing you have to do is mix it with your foundation.

So yeah this stuff is good, personally I don’t like wearing makeup because of all the steps you have to take with the foundation, concealer, etc, but with BB Cream it’s all you need (at least for me). In the time that I’ve used it I break-out less and my face is softer with and without BB Cream.

So far I have used three different brands: Missha, Mistine, and Etude House. I really like all of them, but my favorite one and the one I noticed goes better for my skin type is Mistine and Missha. For those of you asking where to purchase BB Cream you can try Ebay, Etude House.com, or Amazon. There are many other places where you can buy them just make sure it’s legit. You have to be careful where you buy it from because there are a few fakes out there. If you’re really interested in buying BB cream I can e-mail you the link to the places I bought them.

My guilty pleasure (Teen Top "No More Perfume On You")

A couple of weeks ago I saw Simon and Martina’s Music Mondays for Teen Top’s “No More Perfume On You”. I didn’t think anything of it since you know they are teens and I’m an old lady (ok I’m exaggerating, I’m only 22). However, there was this one part of the video where Martina shows the “dance”. It was hilarious~ the “Sexy hey~” lol and ever since then it would pop into my head once in a while. So I became curious if they actually did that in the MV.

But before saying more I have to explain as to why I had not watched the MV, it turns out the song is about a cheating boyfriend and that’s just not my style, especially if the boys is 17 and everyone is fine with it (in the song).

Ok so I decided to watch the MV and yup, they actually do the dance move. But I gotta say, after watching and hearing the song I really, really liked it and the boys are so~ cute! (Chunji is adorable~ that boys smile just makes you scream like a school girl) Now I can’t stop listening to it. It’s crazy how much they make me smile lol

This is the "Sexy hey~" dance move lol

The song SOUNDS very pretty and the boys are just extremely adorable and I also really luv the dance, but too bad it’s not sending out a good message. Not unless you guys think cheating is good.

So yeah even though it’s a “bad” song (the message), but I gotta say I’m really liking it.

                                   

Enjoy the MV!

JYJ "In Heaven"

 I’m so~ excited!!! JYJ has come out with a new single; it’s called “In Heaven”. Ok so I started watching the MV and it starts off with a close-up of Junsu (so~ cute), 45 seconds into the video I started liking it and once it finished I thought the song was ok. I really liked the MV, but wasn’t so crazy about the song, but all that changed when I saw it again a few days later. The MV is amazing! and the song sounds so nice. I’m still learning Korean so I don’t know exactly what the song was talking about, but the MV does a great job at translating lol. However I became curious on what the song was talking about and after a few failures I found the translation. Since it’s still a new song there is not much out there, but I think the one I found is pretty reliable.

For those of you who are interested the CD is coming out on Sept. 28^th 2011. You can place your orders for them now. I want to buy it, but I’m gonna have to wait T_T ah~ the wonderful things about growing up…responsibilities and expenses.

If you want to show your support you can follow this blog that was created for JYJ:

There’s a lot of information about them there and it’s updated regularly:

Enjoy the MV and read the translation at the bottom!

"IN HEAVEN" translation:


I'm going to leave now
Don't leave
I'm going to come back so...
Liar, liar
No- don't you know how much I love you?
Can't you show that love to me right now?
I love you...
Can't we love again?

As of right now, I can't say anything
The miracle of you- it all seems like a fantasy
The last image of you seems to be locked only in my memories
I wonder if you are watching me from somewhere
Even if I regret, it's too late- I can't see you anymore
The tears of the shadows of my memories are watching over that place

I can't say those words, I really can't- as much as you were by my side
I'm sorry but I can't- everything comes shaking back to me now
By waiting a little more, by wandering through my dreams
I'm afraid I will close my eyes inside of you

* Don't leave, don't leave- can't you stay by my side?
Lies, all lies- I don't hear anything
I love you, I love you- can't you show me those words?
I love you, I love you- will you love me again?

Time already passed like this
I try looking for your traces but they are erased
The last memories of you are locked in the rims of my tears

Just end it, end me- if you're not going to be next to me
I'm sorry but I'll leave now- following your footsteps
Following the road with no end- as I wander to find you
I'm afraid I will lose you and be sad

* repeat

Don't leave, don't leave- can't you stay?
Lies, lies, I don't hear anything
I love you, I love you- can't you show me?
Can't you love me, love me, love me?
Don't leave, don't leave- can't you stay?
Lies, lies, I don't hear anything
I love you, I love you- can't you show me?
Please come back

* repeat

Ukiss "Neverland"

Hey everyone! Yesterday while scrolling down my subscriptions list on youtube I came a cross a video. When I read Ukiss I was so excited! 

Yup Ukiss has a new song out. It's amazing!!! (at least I think) All the boys are looking really good and I gotta say I'm impressed with Hoon (he was my least favorite, sorry Hoon lol). Anyways back to the point the song is really catchy after the first 30 seconds and the dance, like always, is really good. These boys never disappoint, I've liked all of their singles so far and this one is just as amazing.

I believe their 3 year anniversary is coming soon or recently passed, so~ CONGRATULATIONS UKISS!!! Saranghe!!!

If you haven't watched the MV already here it is!

Congratulations to Sun Hyunwoo and his new wife!

Some of you might ask who is Hyunwoo? Well he's the founder of TTMIK and also works with Korean class101.com. Even though I've never met him or talked to him, but I feel like I know him threw all the videos and lessons he's posted. He's such a great teacher. He recently got married, I believe over the weekend. Check out where they went for their honeymoon it's beautiful!



So again congratulations to Hyunwoo, I don't really know his wife, I've only seen her in pictures and this is the first video I've seen her in, but I'm sure I'll be seeing her in many more. So congrats to Mikyung too. I wish you both a happy honeymoon and a very happy life together.
