CC Cream & Some Others

Nature Republic C.C. Cream

 "NATURE REPUBLIC C.C. CREAM"
   For those of you who are Asian, you may have heard of the new "thang" going around called the C.C. Cream. I have heard of some customers joking around to themselves saying, "Is there like a D.D. Cream too?"
   The "C.C." stands for "Color Control" or "Color Correction." It is the new sensation amongst Korean women, and it's starting to spread slowly to the non-Korean women as well.
   If you're wondering what the difference between a B.B. Cream and a C.C. Cream is, I'll tell you right now.

-"Blemish Balm" : B.B. Creams have a gray undertone. As the day goes on, your face tends to have a more dark/grayish complexion.
-"Color Control" : C.C. Creams has more of a white undertone than a gray one, and it has the effect of sustaining the bright complexion.

   I have tried using The Faceshop's C.C. Cream because that's honestly all I had access to. However, it just didn't really do well for me. Some customers really love it though, they always come asking for the refills. Thanks to my friend Jane Kim, I was able to try out the Nature Republic's C.C. Cream that she bought when she visited Korea, and I really liked it! It fit me a lot better than the TFS one, and brought a smile to my face. My other friend Eunbi Ko was going to be visiting her family in Korea not long after I tried it, so I asked her for a huge favor and she brought me it. Thanks girls ! :)

The Faceshop Lip Products

Here I come with the lip stuff again. The product on the right has been featured already, in the last post. The one on the left, however, is a new item that came to the store just yesterday. I had to buy my mom an eyebrow pencil anyways, and ended up buying it because I liked it. It's a lip tint stick, and it has a similar "effect" as the Dior lip balm that I have. Either way, I AM HAPPY :D

The must-have Q-tips

THIS. is one of my MUST-HAVEs.
Q-TIPS. They are so necessary and important to have in my makeup bag AT ALL TIMES. They are amazing for fixing minor mistakes when drawing eyeliner, and when you want to fix your makeup during the day. There were a few instances where I forgot to take them with me, and I almost wanted to cry.

You should always carry these around too! They're so much help.

Clio Art Shadow

PERFECT HIGHLIGHTING SHADOW FOR THE EYES.

This has been an amazing item in my makeup bag. The top of it is white with pearls and the bottom of it is yellowish gold with pearls. I use them mainly to highlight beneath my eyebrows, and to highlight underneath my eyes. Most people seem to use eyeliners that are white with pearls to highlight underneath their eyes, but for some reason, I feel like using a shadow and a brush to do so is a lot more natural and prettier. It's a wonderful product :)
