My hobby and obsession

Gong xi..gong xi.. 

I wish a Happy New Year to all my Chinese readers~ :D

(share me your ang pows pleasee..kkk)

I thought I'm going to post some reviews but I found that posts are too boring 

to post becoz I'm not really in the mood..lol

Also the pictures aren't done yet becoz my camera died XD

Recently I think my blog is too plain because I mainly post about reviews and cosmetics although I'm sure people who reads my blog also are an enthusiastic about those stuff. There's a lot of blogs which are similar to mine out there but sometimes I want to blog about my daily life or food but I don't really know how to do so..TT

Most of time I think that people would leave my blog if I started to post about these things..(in fact yes, since I lost few followers when I blogged about Kpop things). I want to be a great blogger like eki from ekiblog. The first time I know her when she do lots of Japanese cosmetics reviews but it gradually became different when she starts posting about food and Japan places she went but it doesn't makes her blog boring at all and I noticed that I like her blog even more~

I think I want to start making changes in post like I wanted to post more about the things  that I like and I'm into. Although I did say that I lost some followers becoz I did these kind of post but I notice one of unrelated post about cosmetic post I made that is "I want to learn sewing" made into the popular post although I'm not sure what are the readers find that post so interesting..lol XD

So in this post, I want to share with you about my anime obsession..I'm not sure if you know anime but generally people call it 'cartoon'..although the anime lovers hate if people says anime was cartoon but I just want to explain it in general..(don't kill me if you're anime lovers)

examples of anime that you might know are Pokemon, Doraemon, Dragon Ball..etc

There is a channel named Animax which is specialized for anime shows and they had a contest last month for my favorite new anime named "K" by Gora Hands. It was broadcast the same time as Japan and I'm really addicted since teaser video. You know I can't resist bishies(google that).

My friend, or could be specified as my partner in crime ask me to join although I

 resist at first but later I find that the contest is really easy! XD

We just had to answer 13 questions according to the 13 episodes of the show.

A week after I received an e-mail from the staff saying that I won the $50 $80 goodies!

I don't expect that since I said hundreds time that it will be infinity to 0.00000000001 chance that I could win since the contest were held between three countries, Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore if I'm not mistaken.

You could say that I'm half-otaku XD

The reason why I said that I'm half is because I still socialize in real life..lol..

In Japan, otaku could be consider a bad word to that person since most of them doesn't socialize in real world and almost the whole time they shut themselves in room admiring those anime characters..

Anyway, here are the goodies that arrived last Friday! I'm sooo excited although they changed the original prizes which supposed to be included an Animax headphone TT but they changed the prizes to something else :D

love love the tote bag!!

all the goodies included with the tote bag above :D

this cute bag supposed to store phone or something small..

the coolest tumblr! I never bought this kind of tumblr so I think this is really cool~

External power bank or you could say portable charger for almost everything!

Now I don't have to worry if my phone out of battery~

2 shirts! I'm not sure what is the anime title for the art on the white shirt(?)

K file!!omg..omg..too bad my fav Shiro figure is being cut off half in the picture but my Kuroh-kun is still good as ever~

I thought this is a normal neck strap but it was a neck strap + thumb drive!

The back of the tote I shown earlier.. The art is from an anime called Spooky Kitaro..tehee :D

Life as an anime otaku could be so hard if I were too obsessed. The figures, DVD, extras, weekly magazines, mangas and lots of merchandise is very very expensive plus most of them isn't available locally except to the most popular one. So that's why I splurge more on make-up since they're cheaper than this merchandise..believe it or not..lol

This is the Maroon5 file and album CD that I got from lipstiq.com

My mom is a fan of Adam Levine because he appeared in The Voice..hehe :D

Anyway, thanks for reading my super babble~

I'll share lots next time :D

Etude House Sweet Recipe Collection

[UPDATE] Read my reviews for Etude House Baby Sweet Recipe Choux Base , Etude House Sweet Recipe Cupcake All Over Color and Etude House Sweet Recipe Dear My Jelly Lips-talk ~

Hey guys!

I'm sure you already know what I'm going to post this time..

It's not even a 2 month after the launch of Princess Etoinette Collection, Etude House once again launch a new collection named 'Sweet Recipe' featuring the two new female endorser which are Sulli and Krystal from f(x). Me, of course the no.1 Etude House fan was superrrr excited!lol

Although I already broke for the Princess Etoinette but I don't care if I broke again for the Sweet Recipe..I thought I'm just gonna ignore the collection and restrain myself but they're revealing one products per day and I cannot 'tahan' anymore T^T

The collection is super girlyyyy and sweeeet and I start to doubt myself..should I buy or not..and the last answer I think of today is..: I MUST BUY THIS!Okay, not all of them of course or else I could ended up very poor and have to sell all my Kpop collections..lolol xD

Let's start off with the lippies products..Basically I start to think that Etude House lipstick start to have kind of similar design to each other collection..although they alter some parts but I still think it was the same design..haha..

[ Name : Dear My Sweet Recipe Jelly Lips-talk] 

I must say that the lipstick looks glossy and moisturizing..hoho..the colors selection is pretty much the same as the previous lipstick but I was attracted to the JOR203 bright color. It's not really orange in color but more to red-orange?Kind of similar to pomegranate color(love love!)

[ Name : Sweet Recipe Candy Stick ]

I think it is similar to the Etude House Aloha Two Two Kiss lippie because the texture aren't glossy and it has pretty the same colors selection too. The only difference between these two might be Aloha Two Two Kiss had gloss with them. I checked the price for this and I could say that it kinda reasonable in price :D

[ Name : Sweet Recipe Cupcake All Over Color ]

Somehow I think the creamy texture looks very tasty like cream cake *_*

This one is really similar to the previous Etude House Collection..I'm not sure what the name of the collection but it was released when Park Shin Hye is still the endorser for Etude House. It's Angel Kiss Lip&Cheek, I got the Cutie Angel and the smell is heavenly and the pigmentation is awesome too. I'm sure that this could be similar since this is used for lip and cheek too. I want the RD301 and OR202..seems like a lovely colors!

[ Name : Sweet Recipe Baby Choux Base ]

I posted on my fb page previously that I would like to buy this one!And yes, I actually only targeting this one because I really want a base before applying my make-up. I read the review from the Etude House Korean blogger and saw their before and after pics, it was amazing! I saw it cover up pores and blemishes well ( but don't expect to wear this alone without foundation )

I don't know which color should I choose..No.1 or No.3? I had redness on my cheek so think the green color could make the color disappear but I'm afraid I'll turn ghostly while No.3 is a very pretty color which I would normally choose to wear..what do you think?

[ Name : Sweet Recipe Choco Chip Cookie Pact ]

How could a powder could be the delicious and cute??kyahh.. the dotty design makes it really attractive!Should I buy it or not? Although I have 2 loose powder and 3 powder pact with me right now but I still want moreee powder..T^T..

ahh..I could smell chocolate cookies!keke

[ Name : Sweet Recipe Chocolate Highlighter ]

Although I'm not really a fan of highlighter but this seems fun(?)

Normally highlighter from Etude House would focused on sweet pink/ sweet orange with glitter colors the most so I find this one is different.

[ Name : Sweet Recipe Chocolate Eyes ]

Yum..yum.!I loveee chocolate..I could eat this instead on wearing it on my eyes..lol

I didn't plan to get this since I had lots of brown shades eye shadows piling up in the drawer..it's too much till I don't what to wear anymore..haha xD

p/s : I don't think the size is large( as I thought at first it was a choco bar size but you bet, they wouldn't be that generous..lol)

[ Name : Sweet Recipe Cupcake Eyes ]

Haha..of course you would recognize this! No changes except the shades with the previous Etude House cupcake eyes..The colors aren't really that appealing to me and I really suggest you to try out the color yourself at the Etude House stores before you buy this because the color may turns darker than picture..

[ Name : Sweet Recipe Chocolate Smudge Liner ]

 The design reminds me of valentine..kk~ Although I'm not sure if the liner will turn matte when applied coz it'll smudge like crazy on my eyes if the texture doesn't change..

[ Name : Sweet Recipe Ice Cream Nails ]

I would never thought that this is nail polishes..haha..I think baviphat released something similar like this but it was a lipstick/gloss if I'm not wrong..

[ Name : Sweet Recipe Cotton Candy Ball ]

I know the cotton puff looks very beautiful but paying such price for the cotton that you'll throw out is such a waste..but if you just wanna keep this..it's okay coz it's cute..lol

[ Name : Etude House Sliced Cake Puffs ]

Yeay for sponge cake!haha..quite a unique idea they got there!

[ Name : Sweet Recipe Chocolate Stick Eyeliner Brush ]

Very cute!! I wish this one is soft enough for eyes~!

[ Name : Sweet Recipe Chocolate Stick Eyeshadow Brush ]

I would love to get this..hope the bristles are okay~ <3

Which are you planning to buy? Some of them are in my wishlist..I have to wait more since not many websites put up this collection yet..~

[REVIEW] Peripera Peri's Tint Balm #02 Berry Pink

Hey guys! I somehow can't keep up with my blog much but I still try to post once a week. I probably post more on this Chinese New Year holiday since it was holiday and I got nothing much to do at home aside from shopping..lol xD

So today, I decided to make a short review on this tint balm that I got last year for my trip to KL for the Korean Festival as well as Jung Il Woo fanmeet. I visited the Clio / Peripera booth since they just newly launched in Malaysia. Unfortunately they don't have sales when I went there but you can get these cuties for a discount at Watson for the Spring Festival Sales now!

My first time I saw this packaging for this tint balm, I was like..ohh..2NE1!haha..The drawing styles is just exactly as the 2NE1 album and somehow I know who is the artist behind these work. She is Mari Kim..I guess she kind of popular when she made the 2NE1 album/ MV..but maybe it just me who knows her..lol

Anyway, the animation is super cute right!And the artist, Mari Kim looks exactly as this animation!lol..but you bet...she is cute!

(Photos were taken from Mari Kim & Nara Kim facebook)

I love her new styles! Rocking those colored hair and pattern stocking~She looks lovely~

Anyway, let's head on to the review..

The tint balm comes in few colors to choose from. Personally I would love to buy the lippie design but I find the balm without that lippie have the mint feel which I love.

Mine is #02

Sorry, I used this for few times before taking pictures.. >_<

How it looks on my lip..Sorry for messy pic..I'm really bad at taking pictures,, I know TT

The balm is very moisturizing which I really love about it~It has a slight pink tint which I think it kinds of visible in real. That photo might not show the real color because of lighting and such.

I mention that this tint balm have the mint feel right? Yes it is! I thought it was refreshing to have something with minty feel so I choose this to buy although I really want the lippie design. If I'm not mistaken, the lippie one is the tint while the sheer color around it is kind of gloss.

This tint is very very sheer in color so it looks natural for those who might not want to wear lipstick in lazy days..The price is a bit expensive for a lip balm but I don't remember how much I bought this. This is now available in Watson for purchase! Oh I forgot to mention that this tint balm have a  slight berry smell just like the name :D

Thanks for reading!
