Review | Holika Holika - Essential Petit BB SPF30 PA++


Hey everyone!
The last time I did a review about BB cream, was quite some time ago. For that review, click here. I was really excited about that one, and hope that I'm just so excited for this one!

There are five different types of Petit BB cream: essential, shimmering, moisture, clearing and watery. I bought the essential BB cream. For one of the first times, it's not that I bought the product because of it's looks. This tube looks normal and basic, so I couldn't say I bought it because of the cuteness.
This BB cream is for the people with a lighter skin tone, like me. This BB cream matches my skintone perfectly, I couldn't be happier about it! The texture is soft and smooth, and can be blend very easily. It stays longer than the BB creams I'm used to. On the other hand, this BB cream is not as lightweighted as the others that I tried. Perhaps that is the reason it holds longer.

What I also noticed when I tried it on my hand, is that the fine lines on my hand are more visible now. My hands are dry so that's why, so I wouldn't recommend it when you have dry skin. This BB cream also should provides the skin elasticity and vitality, but so far I didn't notice that. Anyway, this BB cream is great to have!

Before (L) and after (R)

What I like:
- Smooth texture, blends well
- Holds long
- Affordable price

What I dislike:
- Wouldn't recommend for people with dry skin
- The skin vitality and elasticity has not improven, while it should

Hope you liked it and stay tuned!

Review | Tony Moly - Kiss Kiss Lovely Lip Patch



It's time for another review! This time it's about a lip patch, made by Tony Moly. I haven't tried a lip patch before, so I'm very curious!
This lip patch comes in a cute package (when doesn't it?) with a little chick on it. I don't know why they would use a chick, since chicks don't have smooth lips, but it still looks cute. The lip patch itself is pink transparant, and in the shape of lips...but really huge lips!

The lip patch
 Once I picked up the patch, it felt a bit slimy. I don't know how to name it else, but the patch slipped out of my hands a few times. And not just out of my hands, but it also wouldn't stick on my lips. It was really hard to make a photo about it, since it would fall of every second! I wasn't even able to leave it on for the recommended 15 minutes.
How it should look like..
...and how it looked like most of the time.
Quite frustrating.
And after I decides to remove it, I didn't see any changes. My lips didn't feel smoother than before. To be honest, this was a wast of time. Maybe it depends on my lips, but the fact that it doesn't stay on your lips gives me the feeling that this is not worth buying. I also made a photo of the end result, maybe that describes my feelings more than only words.
The end result. :P
What I like:
- Cute package
- The patch is big enough to cover anyone's lips.

What I dislike:
- Doesn't stick to your lips
- Doesn't moist your lips
- It's not worth buying for it's selling price


Stay tuned!
Bweyo,

Kiss Kiss Lovely Lip Patch is a lip shaped hydro gel patch that will give you moisturized, tight lips.
Hao to use: After cleasning and dry, attach patch on the lips. Remove 15 - 20 minutes after. Tap lightly surrounding of lips to absorb essence.

Review | The Face Shop - mini pet perfume hand cream #2

This time I'll be reviewing the mini pet perfume hand cream by The Face Shop. I bought No.2 with the scent 'Fruits'. What made me crazy about it was the packaging. It's just so adorable that I wanted to buy all 4 of them!

So I bought the hand cream with the fruit perfume. I must say it smells delightful, but not really like fruits. It's more of a sweet and soft scent. I would describe it as a 'cute' scent, but you can't smell cute though. This hand cream comes in a cute package and it's a portable hand cream. I love it when I can take cute things like these everywhere with me! At the bottom you can find a sticker, and underneath that sticker you can read the ingredients.
cute pet! 
The bottom with the sticker.
This cream is really soft, which makes it easy to smooth out over your hands. And, it's not a cream that gets clingy on your hands. Normally I use hand cream, but it gets clingy on my hands so everything I touch will get clingy as well. Not with this hand cream! Your hands will be soft, moist and smooth, but not clingy. 

The hand cream!
However, it's not a wow-cream. It's just a simple and soft cream that moist your hands and has a nice smell. It's not anti-aging, sun-protecting and etc. This cream does absorb very well on your hands, without making your hands oily. But be careful: once you put to much on your hands, you're gonna get one big mess.

What I like:
- Nice smell that is not overpowering, stays for a long time
- Doesn't get oily, clingy or greasy on your hands
- It's portable
- It has a light texture

What I dislike:
- It's not really worth the price, eventhough it's not expensive.
- Be careful not to take too much on your hands!

How it looks on my hand. :)
Hope you liked my blog and stay tuned!

New In | Rilakkuma onesie

Yay, I got my Rilakkuma onesie! I've been waiting for so long, and now I finally got it. I also have a Pikachu Onesie which I wore at the MGC Experience convention. I just couldn't help myself to buy one of Rilakkuma, especially since it's also my logo!
I'm a big fan of Rilakkuma and have a lot of it already. From phonecase till pillow till earphones till bag, you name it! You could say I'm getting a little bit obsessed. ;)
So here is my onesie! It's also a good back-up plan if I don't get the cosplay of Tohka Yatogami done before June 15th. But let's hope that's not the case!
I bought this onesie from Ebay, and for the price (16 euros) I bought it,  it is made with lots of love. It feels real warm, they say you can also use it as a pajama..Hmmm. I think I'll pass that... Or maybe not :P.
This onesie has two sacks on the side, and even a zipper on the back if you need to go to the bathroom. I still wonder why they took the effort to put a zipper there...
Anyway, I'm totally in love with my new onesie! Hope you liked my blog and stay tuned!

Review | The Face Shop - Lovely Me:EX Pastel Cushion Blusher Rose Cushion

This time I have a review about a blush from The Face Shop. Most of the time I use products from brands like Tonymoly or Holika Holika, so this is the first time I come in touch with a product of The Face Shop. This is a past blusher which comes in five types: Rose, Colar, Plum, Pink and Peach. I've chosen for the Rose.

This is the first blush I've ever bought. I'm not the type for blushes but I thought I give it a try. And guess what? It was the right decision to chose this Pastel Cushion Blusher! This blush is easy to bring with you in a purse or so, and you can put it on your cheeks to get a gentle, in this case a rosy shimmer without getting your fingers dirty. The Pastel Cushion Blushers come in cute boxes with a puff inside. O my, getting your cheeks done the cute way! I'm totally in love with it.
The little blusher box.

The puff is as soft as it looks!
The blush does not appear heavy on your cheeks. So if you want to get dressed like a clown, this is a no-go. Instead, you have to apply a couple of times to see that rosy colour appear. By the few steps you make  it's easy to find the best look for you. This blusher will not give you a strong effect, but it can look really cute on a ordinairy day.

What I like:- The package is so cute!! Even if that was the only thing I liked about it, I'll still bring it with me as an accesoire.
- It gives a light, rosy shimmer on your cheeks.
- It's real cheap.  (That's why I like to order make-up on Ebay instead spending 3 times more in my local drugstore.)

What I dislike:
- I would like something that would appear a bit stronger. But it's real good for beginners (like myself) to have. 
- It doesn't stay long, just about 3 hours.


My right cheek (left for you) is puffed with some blush.
But as you can tell, there is not much difference. :)
Hope you liked it, stay tuned!
Bweyo,
Li Hao

New In | Fabric for Cosplay Tohka (from anime Date a Live)

I'm really amazed by the way she looks.
Hi everyone!
It's still a few months till Animecon, which is in June, but I already know which character I want to cosplay. This is a very difficult cosplay and a real challenge for me. That's why I wanted to start real early.
I also told you I wanted to cosplay as Yoshino, another character from this anime. I already bought her puppet Yoshinon and I will cosplay her, but I wanted something challenging for now, and this is just what I need.

Last weekend there was a fabric market, so I thought it was about time to get myself some fabric. It's not complete, but I'm halfway there. At least for the fabric, I also need to make a whole armor! Really, really challenging.. Anyway, I was looking for black fabric, but that was easier said than done. They had so many shades of black! And I just couldn't decide which one I wanted. Finally, I made up my choice and I've chosen for black fabric with a soft shine on it. The fabric is a little bit elastic, but not too much. This way it will suit me better without stretching and ruining it while sewing.
I also bought a zipper for the back and 200 meters (sounds a lot, but you're through it before you know it!) of black thread.
The fabric. Here you can't see the shimmering
very well, too bad :(.

The zipper and the 200 meters of thread.
Stay tuned!

New In | Cat Ears Headband

Hey everyone!
I ordered a cat ears headband, and yesterday I received it! It's a very cute headband and you can find them in almost every color you like. They are also in different styles, so there are many to choose from. I bought this headband because it was cute, of course. I once saw it when I was watching a video from K-pop group SNSD, aka Girls' Generation. By then I was really enthusiastic to buy one for myself.
Tada! The headband. :)
As I said before, there are multiple styles in different colors, and I've chosen the basic one. This is a silver headband with off-white imitatian pearls on it, in the shape of cat ears! Now I won't wear this item on a ordinary day, but you might see me wearing it on a convention or perhaps a concert from K-pop artists! Furthermore I'm more like a person that just want things like an accesoire for my room. Just like pluche dolls, I have them in my room but they just lay there. That's also with things like this. So for now I give it a special place to stay, and when I feel like wearing it, I will wear it. :)

Does this make me look cute? =^-^=
Hope you liked my blog and stay tuned!
