(I Wonder If You Hurt Like Me) This was my favorite song from them since their lyrics and melody touches my heart.I really recommend the song for you to hear it!

2AM once came here in Malaysia on 21st May 2011!If you're one of their audience in the showcase,you would see how nice they was and how beautiful their skin is!I myself was a big fan of Korean Cosmetics and even Korean themselves love to take care of their skin including the guys too!For me,it isn't weird because guys needs to take care of their skin too and not just girls,right?

[REVIEW] Skin Mal:gem / Skin Malgeum

Holla...holla ^_^
How are you guys?I finally can manage some time to post up this review!Most of readers are emailing me and sending messages on facebook to ask how good the Skin mal:gem was..Sorry for posting this so late already..

Some of you may be wondering what is Skin mal:gem?

[mal:gem] – The Korean word for cleanness, clarity and pureness. Skin Malgem hypoallergenic toners promote clean, clear and pore complexion with moisturizing and pore cleansing formulas. 
Etude House Skin [mal:gem] malgem Smoother: Exfoliation toner which contained fruits ingredients (lemon, orange, sugar maple, sugar cane, grapefruit) makes clear and soft skin. 
This product is free from Paraben, Artificial dye, Benzophenon, Mineral oil, Animal material!

Basically,it was only a toner.I bought the smoother type and it says that it is an exfoliation toner.I was wondering what they mean by exfoliation at first since the only thing that works for exfoliation is scrub and then maybe I would start to understand now of what they mean by that.I think they're referring to the cleaning of dirty pores something like that since toner also works on removing extra dirt on face after we wash our face.
There are six types of Skin mal:gem from the fresh to emulsion.I suggest you to buy according to your skin needs.If you think your skin are very oily,then the first one suits you the best.I have an oily skin too but I choose the smoother type because I think my face is super dry after washing and it makes me hard to put powder on because it will gets flaky so smoother is the best for me because I think the fresh type won't provide moisture although they said so...(but that's what I think,I never know)

(click to enlarge)

There are several types you can use your skin mal:gem. First is removing make up.Second is as a mist.Third is for moisture and fourth is using it for mask.

P/S : Sorry for the bad lighting.The toner is crystal clear in color.




To the readers who asked me whether this toner are able to remove BB cream and eyeliner or not,my answer would be NO.It is because BB cream is too thick and this won't be able to remove it because it doesn't have oil which clean deep down your pores or you may ended up having a break out >_<
and for eyeliner,it doesn't remove the waterproof type.So better stick to your make-up remover or cleansing oil.

At the moment I post up this review,I already used half of the bottle.I think it has been 2 to 3 weeks I used this and don't be surprise,it wasn't that small.The bottle is quite huge as the toner is 250ml per bottle.I myself think I used a lot everyday since I wash my face about 4 times a day.I know,you're going to say that can damage my skin right??I know it but feeling oily on face half day is sucks!I can't just used oil blotter coz i think the dirt is still there..I usually wash my face before going to work,then second is on the rest time about 1pm or so,then wash again after work when i'm taking bath and lastly before i went to sleep...>_<

I'll try to fix that habit...anyway onto my thoughts;

Pros :
1 - Provide a good moisture along the day or specifically I wore this only for few hours(till I wash my face).
2 - Doesn't break me out.
3 - My face looks like I'm having a good moisture..coz it was shiny?not that oily shines..it was a healthy shine.
4 - Free from "Paraben, Artificial dye, Benzophenon, Mineral oil, Animal material" that is unhealthy for skin.5 - Pretty reasonable for a big bottle,250ml and the price I bought is only RM60+ from Korea.
6 - Available locally but if you bought locally,the price is RM79.90 so that's pretty expensive.

Cons :
1 - It just only a toner with good moisture but no other function like whitening or anti-wrinkle.
2 - It can be sticky sometimes if you put too much.

That was it!If you have any more questions to ask,feel free to send it to marvelikalife@gmail.com or my facebook.com/kaerra.lewn

Thanks for reading!Byebye~!

[REVIEW]Etude House Dear My Blooming Lips-talk + Kiss Note feat SHINee and Sandara Park(2NE1)

Wassup guys!It's been sometime since I posted my last review..Sorry,I started my work last week and I've been delayed this post quite sometime.So I got free time today and I'll think I post this up!

It's the lipstick that I bought in my last haul~~
I'm quite happy with the lipstick at the moment and I wear this every single day~

I wouldn't say any further,so take a look at these pictures~!

Update : Read the #BE101 and #OR204 shades reviews HERE!




I bought 2 lipstick and the code is RD304 and PK004.There are 24 shades to choose from and I took such a long time to decide what colors I want..lol

The RD304 is a bit reddish and PK004 was bright pink!
It's because I think bright colors are cool for this spring!

You can see the colors on the photo.I basically pick the Dara No.2 and No.4 
without I realizing it!lol

But I would say that the colors shown are not 100% true because the RD304 is not that red.
It differs on what colors your lips are.




The lipstick packaging!Aren't they cute??!
With the small ribbon and princess-y style packaging!!They made me fell in love~~


Oh well,the Korean description.I don't understand them,sorry~~


But they do have some English description too!


The production date.
Many of us overseas have mistaken the date as the expiration date whereas Korean cosmetic 
always print the manufacturing date.
So don't be mistaken again next time!


Have the apps?So crop it!
You'll see more details about the products!



(PK004)
Look at the love-carriage?
It was damn cute! *falls*



(RD304)



Sorry for the blurred swatches.My camera can't do any better than this 
I think it's better because you can see a slight difference between the two colors.

As I said,the RD304 is not that red and it only had a slight difference between PK004.
The colors shown above may not look pigmented as in real because of the lighting problems and all.

So onto my thoughts :

Pros :
1. The colors are truly pigmented.
2. It glides easily without leaving your lips dried.However,I did recommend you to apply on some lip balms if your lips is originally dried.
3. Cute and pretty packaging which I think it can persuade any girls to buy~hihi
4. Small and handy.
5. Got a lot of shades to choose from!
6. Fruity to floral smell..I love it!
7. No shimmers~

Cons :
1. I'm having trouble to open the PK004 cap every time I want to use it.It was pretty tight T^T
2. Disappeared when you eat or drink.Well,this may applies to all lipstick out there..hehe :D

and now onto the KISS NOTE!
I saw a lot of fans have been asking about this book on the EH official page(Msia).
and here I show you the pictures!
Believe me,it was very girly!!~~~

It was pink!!!yeayyyY~~!!

How cute!!SHINee and Sandara!!

Did you watch the Kiss Note short film?
This was one of the scene!

*sigh* I got this pretty blur and I didn't realize it..gomen...
but this is Key's and Taemin's ver!

Sandara and Minho scene!
Very romantic scene and funny too coz Minho's leg is too long!lmao

The rest of the pages got this design! very cuteeee!!

The back book!

P/S : don't forget to enter my giveaway here!I may extend the date because I'm currently are super busy!
and I may add prizes too!
