OOTD: My Koibito's Cardigan

Word of the day: Koibito (恋人) - Japanese for sweetheart/lover/boyfriend/girlfriend.

I went out today but the weather was playing guessing games with me aslkjddflhflasd! t(=_=t)

Every time I check outside the window, it's so gloomy and I see the tree branches being harassed by the wind (my room is on the 2nd floor of the house) but when I finally get out of the house, BAM! Instant sunlight with perfect UV rays that make me feel like the sun is sending these invisible micro-creatures biting on my skin. DAHELL! So, to play it safe, I just wore an oversized cardigan that's not too thick for that end-of-summer temperature.

I got the cardigan from the Men's Dept. at Zara hahahaha! :))) Let's just pretend it's from my imaginary boyfriend (koibito) and he lent it to me. I really like it when cardigans and sweaters are oversized. I like the feeling and the look of my hands being covered because what I'm wearing is too big! o(^3^)o 

Oh and say hello again to my favorite maroon creepers from New Look SG! :p

My black tights are from Payless (that Minicci something brand; forgot, didn't pay much attention). 

I also added a photo of the print on my shirt from Artwork because I think it's cool. ^__________^b

Taobao Mini Wishlist #1

Taobao is the Chinese equivalent of Ebay. While Ebay caters to almost everyone in the whole wide world, Taobao on the other hand likes to keep itself to its motherland, China. It doesn't have an English version and majority of the sellers there accept the Chinese version of Paypal which is AliPay (aside from accepting deposits to their Chinese bank accounts). People who don't live in China still have other options if they really want to buy from Taobao (like me!!). You can use a reliable Taobao agent to buy the items for you.

Why is Taobao trendy these days? It's because they sell China-made stuff at DIRT-CHEAP PRICES. If you buy the same China-made stuff in your country or other countries, they jack up the prices, sometimes outlandishly.

Anyway, I will be featuring items from Taobao which I plan on buying within the next few months once I have extra moolah~ >w<

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH THIS JUST SCREAMS "BUY ME!!!!" TO ME DX

That about wraps up my mini wishlist AKA selfish material wants. >_>

By the way, if you don't know how to use taobao, you can google how; there're tons of tutorials on the internet now teaching you how to navigate taobao on your own.

My recommended taobao agents?

• Taobaoring
• Pruany

Both are okay but be aware of slight chances of miscommunication. They're based in China, all customer representatives are not too fluent with English and sometimes they will annoy the hell out of you because they will do stuff without your reply to finish the orders faster (but that happens once in a blue moon only though).

Korean Sweet Bun

     I've always been a HUGE fan of food. (/*w*)/~~ Especially East Asian Food! I've been fascinated by how different (and sometimes how similar) their food tastes to ours here in the Philippines.

     Last Saturday, I went to our local Korean Mart with my bestfriend to buy icecream. There and then I discovered that they have now stocked quite a lot of sweet buns! I've had a sweet tooth for japanese sweet buns so I decided to buy one to taste and try to differentiate the korean one from the japanese one. (^^p)

        The Korean Sweet Bun is not as sweet as the Japanese one but it still tastes good enough for me. XD Surprisingly, the bbang or pan or bread (lol) smells and tastes like the local bread here. HAHA! I like how it puffs up after you take it out from the microwave. I'll share more random stuff soon! Come again~ (^__^)/

Review: Etude House Happy Tea Time Green Tea Cleansing Foam

Hello hello! I will be reviewing Etude House’s Happy Tea Time Green Tea Cleansing Foam (wow, that was long haha).

I bought this when I visited the store last January 2012. It’s priced at PHP149. The Happy Tea Time Line has other variants and the ones I can remember are the Lemon and Peach (sorry XD).

I have combination-type skin with an oily T-zone and dry cheeks.

It has a faint fragrance of Green Tea which I find soothing and pleasant! The tube is big and can last for around 4-5 months; till now, I think I still have 2/5 left and it’s already May! The packaging is cute but unfortunately, you can’t see how much is left of the product.

It is easy to spread around the face and neck and there are lots and lots of bubbles! It doesn’t sting when I cleanse my face with it. After patting my face dry with a towel, my face feels refreshed.

The downside of the product is that it makes my cheeks and the areas near my mouth dry (and worse, sometimes flaky :\) so I make sure I use moisturizer and essence/serum after my toner. BUT! It doesn’t make my T-zone dry at all.

So do I recommend this product? YES if your skin is the OILY TYPE.

MAYBE if your skin is the COMBINATION TYPE and you’re ok with a bit of drying.

Will I buy again? MAYBE. I like its price, the fragrance and the refreshing feeling I get after using it but I don’t like all the drying
