Banila Co. Let Me be BeBe [My Favorite BB Cream ! ]

Ever since a friend had introduced me to BB cream in high school I have become obsessed with BB cream research!!! So far I've tried brands like Missha, Holika Holika, Skin 79, etc etc ! But I would have to say that my all time favorite is BANILA CO.'s Let Me Be BeBe Nude BB Cream ! Banila Co. is a really good brand in itself so I knew I could definitely trust the BB Cream ! I've been using it since 2010? I think~! I get a lot of comments like "ahh you look so white!!" but it covers up all my blemishes and dark circles so I don't carreeee!!!

**Packaging has changed since June 2012?? - Not sure about the date I just know they changed the packaging haha!***



old packaging!

so useddd!!!



i think the other one is sheer, but I didn't think it would match me so I got this one :) it doesn't seem like there are any grey undertones in this so i think it's a really great product! albeit a bit pricey but I think it's worth it since half a squirt goes a long way!


no bb cream or makeup ughhh


application!

I always dot and just rub everything in with my fingers, after washing them of course, I was going to use a sponge but a worker at sephora told me it was a waste cus the product will get in the sponge and it would just be a waste~

Falsies [Tutorial] ?

The other day I bought falsies for about 880yen! Kind of expensive but I really wanted to try! My dorm mates had to teach me how to put them on haha but it's really easy so I hope this can help everyone who doesn't know or give some ideas for those who are already pro at applying falsies haha ~!







OK~!

Materials Needed!
False eyelashes
Toothpick with a flat top
and eyelash glue 
(I had already cut my eyelashes to fit my eye)

1. tip the wand of the eyelash glue and hold it up

2. with the flat end of the toothpick, put a small amount on top

3. use the toothpick to spread a thin layer of glue on the eyelash you are going to use

4. line eyelash with your natural lash-line and put a little above, hold for 30 seconds and press the eye lashes from time to time to ensure they adhere well 


5. After 30 seconds, blink a few times to make sure they stay and then (if you want) use an eyelash curler to curl the lashes so they stick to your natural lashes and use mascara so your natural and the falsies stick together (it would look really weird with two layers of eyelashes that one was higher than the other...) 


DONE!




:)

**also!
if you want to use the end parts of the lashes you cut off, you can use it for bottom lashes (just flip them over and repeat the steps for applying falsies) :d (see first picture as a kind of example haha)

this is just how I was taught to apply false lashes, if you have another idea please feel free to share!

Taobao Trends [Review]

** Taobao trends has changed to "tb trends"because they cannot use "taobao" in their name...***


so this is what the top of the website looks like

this is what the bottom part of the homepage looks like
everything is pretty straight forward and easy to follow! very very user friendly!

**if anyone had any problems with taobaotrends please let me know!

So far I have done about 5 orders (on my 6th!) with them! and so far so good, will edit this post if I find any problems!

but I really love the website, great customer service and very helpful, I don't speak chinese and I love taobao so finding an agent was definitely a priority!

So far I have gotten:
SK-II samples! 
Abercrombie Jacket
Rosetta Stone (for a friend)
"Liz Lisa" Bag (for a friend)
etc etc etc!

this review felt so lazy ahh sorry! I will revise and make it nicer later on!
