LEAST favorite beauty products in 2015

Note: I have dry to normal,sensitive skin with a slight tendency of pimples/acne around my jaw area and sometimes on my cheeks and forehead. Dry areas usually on my cheeks.

Tony Moly Bcdation & All Master - If you have dry skin and not so good skin care routine it can be patchy when you applied it on your face. Best mode of application: Sponge/puff/beauty blender

Tony Moly Egg Pore Steam Balm (Blackhead) & Cooling Pack- 

Steam Balm: doesn't really do anything for my face I don't notice any difference before and after use.

Cooling Pack- after using the steam balm which makes my nose feels quite raw after using this it helped cool it down a bit,my face feels tight afterwards but other than that I don't feel any noticeable difference.

But I'd still give them another shot I feel it would be such a waste if I didn't get to use/finish a product and so I could also get my money's worth haha






Nature Republic Real Nature Rose Mask Sheet- quite sticky after use

Rimmel Provocalips 730 make your move- nice natural looking color color but can be a drying after a couple of hours use my lips would crack so sad!no amount of balm or gloss can fix it the only remedy would be to take it off and apply a moisturizing lip product afterwards.

Wet n Wild Lipsticks - lots of different colors to choose from,nice color payoff,very affordable!cheap plastic packaging I don't like the chemically taste -_-

OKAY beauty products I used in 2015 Wrap up

Okay products: I tend to use these once in a while...they're pretty good

Note: I have dry to normal,sensitive skin with a slight tendency of pimples/acne around my jaw area and sometimes on my cheeks and forehead. Dry areas usually on my cheeks.

Etude House Wonder Pore - I like it, lots of product for a very affordable price. What I didn't like was the alcohol content in it for it can be a little bit drying...it doesn't bother me as much my mom who has extremely dry and sensitive skin she told me it stings a lil bit but not too irritating does its job balancing the skin ph I guess. I does clean my pores a bit more it gets some of the dirt my cleansers miss.A little tight and clean feeling afterwards. 

Too Cool For School Dinoplatz Dear Brachiosaurus (50 pcs) 

Thin absorbent paper but I feel like it's just like any other products out there what stood out for me of course is the really cute plastic packaging,very travel friendly and it's nice since it has a mirror despite its size. I use this sparingly since there's only 50 pcs. 

Holika Holika Jewel Light Waterproof Eyeliner 

I actually owned a bunch of colors haha I think I like Poison Red the most I gravitate towards red type of product these days...The color payoff is amazing!soft creamy texture, product price = affordable! pretty neat and nice to have. Very handy! It won't budge once you applied it but whenever I have some mistake applying it creating a wing or whatever my tony moly latex free sponge seems to take care of it but yeah it's waterproof.

At first I thought it was a retractable kind of eyeliner but no! you have to use a sharpener which I don't really like and I'm bad at it! but you know mayhaps I need to practice my sharpening skills a little bit more haha I think that's the only thing I don't like about this product for it not being in retractable form and it's quite easy to break once you sharpen it since the product is soft.

Jordana easyliner for eyes retractable pencil &  lips retractable pencil

very affordable and good for the price!soft but not too soft for it to break easily and glides on smoothly! I like to smudge it a bit it creates a very nice smoky look as for my lips it makes my lip products last a little bit longer and I can actually use it on its own. I sometimes used these products since most of the time I almost always in a hurry. I like to play around it as well. I don't really have anything bad to say about this product.

2015 overall concert experience

Sam Smith did such a  Divine performance 5 out of 5 stars! venue location (Miami American Airlines Arena) 2.5 for safety concerns,parking around $20 on designated lots still depends where you park you can parallel park on the streets at your own risk. Walking distance 10-15 minutes but inside the arena itself is 4 out of 5 stars it's also the same for Ed sheeran even with just him alone he is electrifying! amazing mash ups and combos! for his performance 5 out of 5 stars (3hrs whoa!) both of them are so worth it!

Incubus x Deftones

Parking: Free!
Tampa Amphitheatre is pretty safe and spacious. Cons would have to be since it rained last night before this the lawn area was muddy so yeah pretty much standing good thing I brought with me a clear plastic bag and a sarong (towel) to cover up the ground and there are a lot of people who smokes.

nice light show

I love Incubus more than Deftones (also since I only know and like few of their songs) and the vocals,song lyrics isn't as good compare to Incubus at least also since I've been following Incubus for years now like their songs,career,discography and all that I like their previous albums than this new one but it's a nice comeback and I'm glad I finally got a chance to go to this gig since I've been waiting for ages for this opportunity to come by his vocals is pretty much spot on and so much better live! overall 4 out of 5 stars for Incubus as for Deftones 2.5 out of 5 stars overall I had a pretty good time!

Kelly Clarkson got cancelled due to throat issues so I got a refund.

Van Halen I got sick that day also it's so hot and humid outside ugh -_-

Last but not the least Taylor Swift 1989 World Tour, Halloween Night it was epic! I love how they gave all concert goers this bracelet that goes in sync with the music and it lights up so beautifully! no flashlight moment ever again haha I love it I feel like I went to those japanese/korean concerts you know with the light bling and it's nice as each light signifies each person 55,000 strong! whoa!

since it's halloween a lot of people are wearing costumes and some made fansigns that are awesomely decorated with led light/christmas light/fairylight whatever you'd like to call it. The venue location (Tampa,Raymond James Stadium) is safe there are a lot of cops on the street redirecting traffic and all that.General Parking $25.Walking distance 10-20 minutes.Locating and going to your designated seat is confusing! and you have to go down the 2nd floor to go around the other side and it feels like forever going down the ramp! I hope there are 2 escalators and elevators for guest to use for easy access. But the area is wide so a stampede won't really happen unless there is real threat/panic.Overall Perfomance 5 out 5 stars! definitely a night to remember!

These are the products I use almost everyday in 2015 with slight variations to my routine from time to time so I can rotate and use them all.

Note: I have dry to normal,sensitive skin with a slight tendency of pimples/acne around my jaw area and sometimes on my cheeks and forehead. Dry areas usually on my cheeks. Some of the products here I got reviews on my blog(s) some don't and I'd would some mini reviews beside it but please feel free to click the product links for more info/where you can buy them etc. 

Maybelline Dream Smooth Mousse - my go to product! very,nice and easy to use, Affordable as well. Compact and travel friendly. I use this whenever I don't have time to blend my own mix of foundation haha

NYX Cosmetics Concealer Wand- Wonderful product! First repurchased concealer!

After I used up all my Nyx I tried and love Aritaum Full Cover Stick Concealer (Light Beige)

soft and creamy, kinda like maybelline stick but this one got a brush on the other end which is nice. It covers my blemishes,buildable coverage,quite long lasting and affordable!

TONY MOLY Latex Free Moisture Puff- kinda like a beauty blender but flat. This is the sponge I use to blend my foundation and concealer I use this product so many times it has a slight tear already but doesn't disintegrate.It Blends my makeup evenly and perfectly!

Now on with the lip products I got a little obsess with them lately I bought quite a lot and started to slowly use them one by one xD

Nature Republic Real Gel Tint

Real Gel Tint- I actually gave this to my mom she loves the color,it's moisturizing too although it doesn't really last very long but gives off a nice natural healthy stain on the lips.

TONY MOLY Tony Tint & Delight Tint Crayon- beautiful red color although it doesn't really last very long, smells and taste like candy (I don't recommend eating/drinking it though haha :))

Coreana Essence Lip Collection (2 Wine Burgundy) - Great dusty rose color, first time I used this kind of lipstick/lip stain, smells like perfume. A little bit goes a long way although if you put too much like I did the first time you'll see this product on your teeth and definitely taste the perfume which was off putting ugh -_- but overall I love the color pay off it stays on for 6 hours or so and leaves a nice rosy lip stain and the packaging looks so high end and classy!

Best of Beauty 2015 | FAVORITES & HIGHLY RECOMMENDED | SKINCARE

Hey guys! how's it goin? I hope you're having a great day! today I'm going to share with you my favorite beauty products I tried this year and yes I did tried a lot! stepped out my comfort zone a little bit and explore the beauty world haha

These are the products I use almost everyday in 2015 with slight variations to my routine from time to time so I can rotate and use them all. What I also learned this year is that if you have a good skincare routine = more beautiful you and less makeup

Note: I have dry to normal,sensitive skin with a slight tendency of pimples/acne around my jaw area and sometimes on my cheeks and forehead. Dry areas usually on my cheeks. Some of the products here I got reviews on my blog(s) some don't and I'd would some mini reviews beside it but please feel free to click the product links for more info/where you can buy them etc. 

SKINCARE

All the products I used in my How I cleanse my face post:

-Ponds & Simple Facial Wipes- gentle,non irritating facial towelletes

-Leven Rose Jojoba Oil- great cleansing oil,melts my makeup off but not a good if used alone as a face moisturizer it breaks me out and it can last for 3 years! isn't that amazing!?

-Missha Cleansing Citron Foam- refreshing citrus cleansing foam I mostly use during the day

Now you might be thinking Oh man that's a lot of product! towelletes then why use jojoba oil then a foam? whoa! The thing about double cleansing is that it doesn't really dry out your skin in fact you're taking out all the gunk/ dirt out of your face and prep your skin other skincare needs like essence,face lotion,emulsion,serum,moisturizer and eye cream it might all sound foreign at first this type of concept but it's truly very effective! please watch this video for more information.

Moving on...This product I used at night

-St. Ives Green Tea Scrub- gently exfoliates,nice matcha & salicylic acne medication smell mix,prevents acne, somewhat helps get rid of my blackheads

-Facial Brush - super soft like bunny soft  it helps my foam cleansers thoroughly clean my face and very affordable too!

Only lasts for 9 months after opening :0

Here's my recent December Favorite it's non other than : Innisfree Super Volcanic Clay Mousse Mask

First time use picture what a face! haha 

I can't really move my face as this clay mousse hardens

Seriously this stuff is amazing! My skin felt soft,smooth and not dry at all after I used this.It definitely helped get rid of my blackheads and there's something extremely satisfying in scrapping those lil buggers out haha! 

TONYMOLY products:

-Appletox Smooth Massage Peeling Cream-smells like green apples,gently exfoliates and moisturizes my skin.

 -Caviar Face Mask Sheet, highly moisturizing!smells clean and great! not eww at all haha! I like the cotton mask it fits my face nicely. (sorry no picture ^_^v)

Skinfood Black Sugar Wash off  (Strawberry)- At first I love the strawberry smell outside the packaging but when I applied and used this I didn't really like it in the beginning it's more like a medicine strawberry like scent and felt too harsh.My skin felt quite raw afterwards. For my second attempt I diluted it with some water and applied it on wet skin that felt so much better, the smell doesn't bother me as much and this is actually nice afterwards my skin felt so soft,smooth and moisturized!

Nivea Creme- My HOLY GRAIL Moisturizer! it's really good during fall and winter time very hydrating whether you use it by day or night you'll look so awesome! too oily for summer use tho...

Nature Republic 92% Aloe Soothing Gel 

Aloe Gel- I stock up on this product although I didn't really liked it at first on my face when it dries the product rubs off so whenever that happens and before that happens I know I need to exfoliate so for the most part on my first tub I used it on my body I felt very clean and refreshed.During the fall season that's when it finally grew on me to give it a go again on my face been using this everyday ever since haha I mostly use at home though..maybe it's the weather since it's much cooler and I have a good skincare routine now the product doesn't rub off unlike before. It has a cooling effect when you applied it on and oh it has some alcohol in it just in case your sensitive to that kind of stuff.

Aritaum All Day Makeup Fixer 

-All day makeup fixer, moisturizing,refreshing,makes my makeup last a little bit longer and natural finish. I use this as my moisturizing spray as well even without makeup.

Innisfree Aloe Revital Skin Mist, moisturizing aloe face mist I use this sometimes hand in hand with my aloe soothing gel and mostly use this spray to my tony moly latex free moisture puff to blend my makeup.

It's Skin mini bebe mist (apple), moisturizing,smells like apples,refreshing and can also be used as a body mist. It's so cute and tiny pretty convenient and travel friendly!

I highly recommend these products!definitely worth your money I hope you give it a shot ^_^

Fantastic 4 (2015) | Movie Review

Information Source: Imbd

Fantastic Four (2015)
PG-13 | 100 min | Action, Adventure, Sci-Fi | 7 August 2015 (USA)

Four young outsiders teleport to an alternate and dangerous universe which alters their physical form in shocking ways. The four must learn to harness their new abilities and work together to save Earth from a former friend turned enemy.

Director: Josh Trank
Writers: Jeremy Slater (screenplay), Simon Kinberg(screenplay), 3 more credits »
Stars: Miles Teller, Kate Mara, Michael B. Jordan |See full cast and crew »




My thoughts:

I like this one more than the other fantastic four (2005) movie because it's much more relateable their individual character stories,development,how they all met and came together as a team is nice. The cast itself they're pretty okay..not my favorite but they did pretty well doing their part.

Spoiler alert!

 And it's pretty weird for the main character to just go off somewhere and after one year still wearing the same clothes like seriously? there's not much progress in his part but the others are doing pretty well since they're in the facility. anyway...

I didn't really like Doom in the first place since he's the jealous type and think so highly of himself that's why I'm glad the fantastic four beat him pwahaha! I like Miles Teller as Reed  he's very smart and humble also have an awesome friendship with Jamie Bell as Ben/ The Thing.which I thought was unlikely in the beginning but totally great duo overall! as for Kate Mara as Sue  well I still quite have some mix feelings like her vs. Jessica Alba you know but Kate did her own version of Sue and I think it worked pretty well I like the music and pattern system of hers makes sense really haha! Kate's character now that I thought about it even more reminded me of Violet from the incredibles practicing her powers. Oh and Michael B. Jordan as Johnny (Torch) I still like Chris Evans but Michael did well trying to be a rebel and all that haha!

All in all 4 out of 5 stars I really liked this movie more than I thought I would. It's pretty good! I love this story even better than the first two old movies (2005-ish) I hope they'd follow up this series with much more bigger and better storylines/enemies!

Ant Man (2015) | Movie Review

Ant-Man (2015)
PG-13 | 117 min | Action, Adventure, Sci-Fi | 17 July 2015 (USA)

Director: Peyton Reed

Writers: Edgar Wright (screenplay), Joe Cornish(screenplay), 7 more credits »

Stars: Paul Rudd, Michael Douglas, Corey Stoll |See full cast and crew »

My thoughts:

I've never heard of ant man til this movie haha the way his costume works is pretty cool along with some of the avenger story clash cameo role put together it was actually pretty sweet! the fight scenes are funny and awesome in a way especially the battle between ant man and the yellow jacket. Shrinking back and forth was truly fun to watch. The sub atomic theory was crazy and I wonder if he just pretended not to remember. As always I looked forward to Stan Lee's cameo and was really happy and surprised to see one of my favorite youtuber Anna Akana finally landed a role on the big screen! woohoo! Overall 4 out of 5 stars! it was funny,enjoyable to watch and I learned so many things about ant man he's awesome! the story's really nice! ^^
