Shampoo Secret

       Today, I wanted to write a post about a shampoo trick I recently found and tried out. The trick I found was to shampoo your hair after the conditioner instead of the traditional way of shampooing the hair first followed by the conditioner. I first heard this tip from Tati from GlamLifeGuru on YouTube (check out her video here). I have been following this tip for the past 2 weeks, and I just wanted to let you guys know that so far, I think this is working. I wash my hair every other day, and on the second day, my hair does end up a little bit oily. However, after using this trick, I found that my hair doesn't get as oily as before and I could even get away with third day hair with this trick! And, I think it is making my hair more softer than before. However, I am not so sure if this is making my hair more bouncy or not, I just think that it is pretty much the same as before. So overall, I like this trick and would recommend other people to use it as well! 

Hoping For A Miracle

         On the 16th of April 2014, a South Korean ferry capsized. As a Korean living outside of Korea, I cannot understand fully of the impact of this event on Korea. However, I do know that this event is one of the biggest tragedy in Korea and that I could not believe that this happened. The number of the missing and the death and the fact that the most of the were high school students makes this event more tragic. I am so frustrated that I can't do anything to help and at the way that the way Korean government and the media is handling the issue. I feel like I have to be careful talking about this issue, since I am not sure what information I can trust. However, I can say for a fact that this is one of the most depressing news for me and that I decided to join the yellow ribbon campaign. 

              

           

#WCW: Han Ye Seul

          This week my #wcw is Han Ye Seul. She is not only pretty but amazing actress. She has starred in one of my favorite Korean dramas of all time, called Couple or Trouble (I think that is the English name). 

What do you think of her? Who's your #wcw this week?

Birchbox April 2014

Today, I'll be sharing what I received in my April Birchbox. Birchbox is a $10 a month beauty subscription box. It focuses more on skincare rather than makeup products. You can sign up here: https://www.birchbox.com/invite/nj956

Each Birchbox has a theme and this month's theme is Rainy Days. I think the theme is perfect for April, I mean April shower bring May flower, after all right? Each box also came with one of their 52 tips for rainy day. I got tip #4 which says, "organize your book collection. By color, topic, author-it's up to you." 

Here's a picture of my April box:

List of products I got:

• Cynthia Rowley Beauty Eye Pencil - I have the Cynthia Rowley liquid eyeliner and I like it, so I am pretty excited to try the pencil as well. 
• Klorane Gentle Dry Shampoo with Oat Milk - I am on the hunt for a good dry shampoo, so I am willing to try this. 
• Paula's Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant - I have never heard of the brand Paula's Choice, but I can always use a good exfoliating product! 
• Supergoop! Daily Correct CC Cream - This CC cream has SPF 35 in it and I have it in shade light to medium. It sounds similar to the Studio Gear CC Cream, I recently reviewed (Check out my review of the prodcut here). I gotta admit, the brand name doesn't sound very appealing though. 
• Kind Healthy Grains Bar - I got this in Maple Pumpkin Seeds with Sea Salt. I am not a fan of Kind bars. However, I was surprised at the size of the bar that they sent, since I thought they would send a small one of the bar.

My thought on this month's Birchbox?
I am pretty happy with this month's box. I I am pretty excited to try most of the product that I got.

Review: Studio Gear Hydrating CC Cream

       I have been using the Studio Gear Hydrating CC Cream and wanted to let you guys know my thoughts on it. First thing first, the CC in CC creams usually stand for color correcting or color changing. CC creams are usually more lightweight than foundation and comes with many skin benefits. 

Here is a look at Studio Gear Hydrating CC Cream:

It comes in three shades: Linen, Natural, and Wheat. I used one in the shade Natural. It is sold at Studio Gear's website and at Ulta as well. It is sold for $34. 

Here are the key claims of this product: 

• SPF 20 
• Prevents fine line and wrinkles 
• Hydrates skin for 72 hours 
• Non-oily 

This product changes color to match the user's skin tone. I think this is seriously so cool! This lasts about 6 hours and feels very lightweight throughout the day. It does not make me greasy throughout the day either. Overall, I like this product.

The downside of this product is that it has very little coverage. Also, it smells a bit weird, so if you are sensitive to smell, I won't recommend using this product. Also, I know that many people are sensitive to dimethicone and it is one of the main ingredient in this product.

Have you ever tried this CC cream? What's your thoughts on it? Are you interested in trying this product? 

This product was sent to me via Brandbacker for a review. This is my honest opinion.
