BB Cream and Spiky earrings

So I was so excited about the Missha BB Cream arriving because I've heard A LOT about it and Bubzbeauty made a video on it a few years ago. I got mine off eBay from sing-sing-girl. She included a lovely note and gave me two free BB Cream samples and they are Lioele's Dollish Veil Vita BB Cream and Skin 79's Shining Pearl BB Cream Plus. I haven't tried these two BB Creams before so I look forward to testing them out ^_^. My BB Cream arrived in 20 days which is not too bad since it was all the way from Korea!!

Some of you might ask, "how do I know if my BB Cream is authentic or fake if I've bought it online?" Well ok guys, this tumblr sure helped me out a lot. So when I'm buying stuff online I like to check the feedback the seller has received to see if they are reliable etc and if you are buying BB Creams you should take a look at the link I provided because I find it really useful. Hopefully that will help~


This is the BB Cream I ordered. It is the Missha M Perfect Cover BB Cream. I have the shade 21 in Light Beige. This is my first Missha product ^_^. The shade isn't too light for my face like I thought it would be and because it's quite high SPF as well but it matches my skin tone and I love the semi matte finish! The coverage is good and it's not too heavy. It feels comfortable on my skin which is good good too lol.

If you know me you know I LOVE BB CREAMS!! I actually don't own that many though. I own two BB Creams from Korea but they aren't from popular brands however they still work well. One of them is actually the number one best selling BB Cream in Korea (as it claims on the box) and it's Esthemed's Magic Plus Blemish Balm. It is supposed to be for all skin types. Like I said I have combination / oily skin lol and I find that you really need to set it with powder otherwise your face, well my face will be really shiny lol. The other one I own is Ms. Violet's Water Drop BB Cream and it's in a pink packaging which makes it really cute lol and being a water drop BB Cream the consistency is very watery but I think I prefer this to Esthemed's. Maybe because it feels lighter on my skin and it's not as thick. However that may be because Esthemed's BB Cream has SPF 50+ and Ms. Violet's only has SPF 25+. Both have their pros and cons but I still like to use them~ Maybe it's a good idea to use Esthemed in the summer to protect my skin from the sun and Ms. Violet's on days where I'm running errands etc.

Aside from BB Creams I've been looking at earrings and I found these spiky earrings from Topshop! The first thing I thought was that they look like the ones Ah Sa (Charlene Choi) wore recently to an event to promote her new movie with Ekin Cheng. ^_^


These are from Topshop, they are called Spike Hoop earrings. I'm not a fan of hoop or dangly earrings lol but I do think they look cool.


And the earring Ah Sa wore to the event event. These are slightly different from the ones above because the one Ah Sa is wearing is where the earring goes around your ear whereas the Topshop earrings you wear how you would wear earrings / studs normally. Hers are also a lot spikier lol. But I love her style! I just found out they're called a "cuff" lol!! My bad


And my nails!! I know it's Autumn / Fall but I still love these pastel colours!! I'm wearing Maybelline's Forever Strong in Lilac Charm. I love this colour!! I like to paint two coats on.

Until next time,

take care

Hello

Helllllo ^_^. First off YEY!!! I finally get round to writing a blog post and today is a special day lol because I finally got my ears pierced!!! ^_^ Originally I only wanted an ear cartilage but in the end I could get both my ears done so I did!! ^_^ I can wear earrings now!! -throws confetti- lol. And today it's my beloved favourite singer Steven's birthday<3 I remember I liked him when he was 25 and now he's 28! But it's not long compared to people who have been fans since BOY'Z debut.

And this is my first post here on thelittle-rocker.blogspot.com. Hmm yeah don't ask about the name lol I had several names in mind but some urls were already taken so I thought I'll use one of the urls I am already using for other sites. And it's also easier to remember aha.


Today I bought this mascara by 17. It is called the Peep Show Mascara. Normally I'll do some kind of research before buying make-up and foundations but this really captured my attention because of the pretty packaging!! ^_^ I love the pink and the lace pattern!! I'm so attracted to the pink lol.

I got this in Brown Black but you can also get it in Black. I was wondering whether to get Brown Black or Black but in the end I chose Brown Black because I think brown mascaras look more natural in a way lol so I got it in Brown Black but who knows? Maybe I'll re-purchase Peep Show in Black when it runs out? *_^ I googled reviews and a lot of people have praised this mascara and buyers have claimed it doesn't clump so I hope it's a good buy heehee. It also has lengthening fibres so that's a plus!

So that's it for today. Have a nice weekend and take care! ^_^
