Beauty Review: Etude House CC cream in Glow

Hello from Korea!

Been here for a week. Didn't do anything much except for stocking up on beauty products and trying them out.

Introducing my new favorite product: The Etude House CC cream in Glow

CC cream is said to correct, care and even out your skin tone.

According to my Korean friend, CC cream is the in thing now in Korea.

All the cosmetic shops have been coming out with their own range of CC cream.

I have actually tried out the banila co CC cream, but didn't like it that much as it appears too oily.

Apparently, this Etude House CC cream is said to have an 8-in-1 function, which includes Anti-Aging, Stress Relief, Hydration, Whitening, Sun Protection (SPF30/PA++),Tone up, Smooth texture and Luminosity.

Anyway, CC cream in general has a lighter coverage than BB cream. 

So for people who prefer a heavier coverage, you can actually layer foundation over this CC cream.

The consistency of this CC cream is neither too runny or thick, and can be evened out rather easily.

See how the skin glows after application?

It doesn't really contains shimmer but it just gives the skin a "물광" (mulguang) effect

Apparently, a matte finish is not so sought after in Korea. 

The Koreans prefer a dewy,  hydrated look.

 This is a picture of just using the CC cream alone.

Do check this CC cream out and let me know what u think about it.

Kids are no angels

Kids are no angels.

This is what I have concluded after almost a year of full time teaching.

I was baffled at how some teachers can comment about how sweet their students are and how they love kids.

Or maybe they are lucky and get all the nice children.

(Come on, you know it isn't true.)

I was quite taken aback at how the students now differ from the students back then.

In the past, whatever they teacher says, we wouldn't even breathe a second word and would do as told.

But now, they will always find all sorts of excuses to get away from what they were supposed to do.

And even talk back or challenge whatever you said.

Trying to be funny is it?

Actually I have been going through this emotional struggle 

I don't know how to strike a balance between being firm and nice to the kids.

I want to be nice to them but 

At times, I even blame myself for their rudeness.

Was it that I just not firm enough, that resulted in them " climbing all over my head"?

But when I tried to be fierce,  I was reluctant to hurt their feelings.

(Why should I even care when they made me angry in the first place)
 the most commonly used word during class must be
야 하지마라고 !(hey I said stop it hor )

I think this experience is good enough to prepare me when I become a mother next time.

Low Carb Diet

Just a random post about weight issues.

I think since young, I have always been on the chubby side. 

Maybe not fat fat, but never thin :(

I always blame it on my bone structure,

 (like Eric always laugh and say my bones are thicker than his?!)

But that's not an excuse, isn't it?

Well, I think losing weight has been my "life-long career"

Since secondary school, I have tried everything possible.

Like just eating apples, or just drinking honey water.

But all these efforts proved futile, as I supposed all these crash diets are not gonna work long term.

Moreover, after the crash diets, I felt so pathetic and stressed up that I just went on a binge,which is worst.

So, I just can't be bothered and just eat whatever I want, so my weight went up to almost 64kg in JC1.

My weight then fluctuated between 58kg-61kg throughout my university years. 

Losing weight has never been successful until last year.

I decided to go on a low-carb diet

I still eat my lunch normally but for dinner, I will not eat more than three spoonfuls of rice.

I always ask Mum to cook more side dishes to "distract" me.

And I think it works for me. 

It was hard at first, but with some self discipline, incorporating some exercises(hot yoga is really good)

I managed to reach 53kg. 

Shedding those pounds away really made me feel more energetic and more confident.

I have never loved junk food, so it's not much of a problem.

But, I have ditched all the soft drinks, and settled for my bori-cha ( korean barley tea)

Sometimes, I do have cravings like 歇脚亭's pudding milk tea, etc.

Maybe once or twice a month won't hurt?

I guess human beings are never easily satisfied.

I still think I need to lose more weight.

I want to look good for my wedding shoots at the end of the year^^

I am so in love with the Shu Uemura cleansing oil.

Been using it for about three weeks or so, and it is really good.

I have always been reluctant to try oil cleanser because they always break me out.

So I have always stuck to me good old Skinlite Cleansing Cloth.

However, recently they have re-packaged their product, with only 12 cleansing cloths(instead of 30 in the past) and still retailing at the same price.. :(

But, back to the oil cleanser, it really doesn't break me out at all.

And it really removes all traces of make up thoroughly.

Hello to smooth and clear skin once again! 

Gonna get the bigger bottle in the airport 

Bought a new camera. The sony nex 3n. 

It is almost as good as an DSLR, just a smaller version.

Can't wait to snap a lot of pictures with it.

Taiwan next Friday!

Can't wait to see my boy!

It's been two months since we have seen each other.

Not very long but still.. 

Gonna go for my yoga class.

Bye
