Banila Co. Prime Primer Hydrating [Review]

Aloha my lovelies~!

If you didn't already know, I absolutely LOVE the korean makeup brand, Banila co. 

It is on the pricier side, their BB cream price could be comparable to probably Smashbox, but the quality is definitely there, and I do not mind paying extra for the good quality!

Banila co.'s packaging is always similar to the "too faced" brand

no complaints, super cute I think! 

The thing I like about Banila co.'s products is that they smell sooooo good

a light floral/perfume type smell, not too strong  I think!

I know having scents in products makes it not too good for the skin, 

but I'd rather have a nice smelling product then will in turn make my face smell good..

as opposed to a product that will make my face smell bad haha

spread about my hand~! 

and my face

after makeup! 

after 7 hours! I'm not joking, after a long day of being out; school, friends, hanging out, etc.
I had nothing to worry about ! I think the only thing that faded was my lip tint (Etude House Lip tint)

I've been using this product for a few weeks now, cost me almost $20 ?
but it's really great, as I said, I LOVE Banila Co. products, their cute/elegant packaging and
good quality products are definitely worth the costs!

I usually wear skin cream before I put on any makeup products to avoid them on my skin to protect my skin, but I need to let it dry up first before I put on the primer.

 I really like hydrating part of the primer too, I also tried their original primer, they smell quite similar!

Also this primer makes my skin so smooth and matte! and allows my makeup to go on easier! I really love it, no complaints yet :))

I would give this product

 I think this product would be great for this winter season since the air will become dry, but I can't see myself wearing it in other seasons ~

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~

Kpop Dance Tutorials ? [Review]

After paying $4.99 for a useless tutorial...I think I'll stick to youtube videos...unless the tutorial I want is not on youtube..and I can't find it ANYWHERE...only then will I resort to going back to kpopdancetutorials...I mean I think it is a great idea and has a lot of potential..but the tutorial I bought [Miss A - Goodbye] ... did not help a BEGINNER like me at all!

So the layout of the website is very user friendly 

Artists on the left and very helpful self explanatory buttons on the top - oh an also they are promoting a "VIP Pack" right now - with lots of dances they did and they also gave an explanation about which dances come with this VIP Pack and how the tutorials will work:

Pretty easy and simple right? ....yeah

Well signing up and confirming are both really easy to do and the user friendliness of the entire site was just really appealing to me and was a deciding factor when I bought the tutorial for Miss A's Goodbye

So after buying the tutorial I just had to go back to my account and log in, and then just go back to the video page

As you can see there are 6 options ~~

front view, back view, tutorial, mirrored, slowed mirrored, tutorial mirrored

and that's all fine and dandy and all...but...I honestly feel I could get this for free on youtube..like here ..this FREE video has everything that I already PAID for......and the reason I chose Miss A - Goodbye from the kpoptutorial site was because I didn't care for the other dance previews..Im not a dance expert..but as an audience member...some of the dances were just not up to par..not saying I could do better...but hey put your best foot forward right? Also I tried to practice with the mirrored tutorial and it did not really help because all the instructor did was relay counts...I need explanations clear images...not counts!...as a beginner dancer I need that at the least....

Also what I like about the youtube video is that the instructor will do a section of the dance, then replay that section of the dance at half speed, then after will do that same section at full speed before going to the next section of the dance..also what I like about the youtube instructor is that she thoroughly explains the more difficult moves..and I don't even need to understand korean for her explanations..

So all in all:

 kpopdancetutorial site:  5/5 

for user friendliness, I mean come on the graphics are great everything is so easy to find/look for..what more could you ask for?

dance tutorial itself: 2/5 

it is a great idea with a lot of potential but some of the dances need to be improved..and there really needs to be explanations with the tutorials...not just counts...I mean, I'm sure that helps with more seasoned dancers..but noobs like me need a little more help T-T so all in all this is user friendly but for a budding dancer..yeah..no....
