Hi peeps!
Last time I posted, I was in a bit of a hurry, for I went to my fathers by train that day. It was pretty exciting, I haven't been in a train alone before. So I spent the chistmas holidays there and visited some relatives and stuff.
My boyfirend got a system camera for chistmas, btw. And because he is awesome and sweet, I can borrow it, which means the quality of pictures in my blog goes up up baby get up up we're going up!
The picture above is taken by him and its from my fathers house.
Here is what I got for christmas. In the first picture is Four Reasons giftpouch from my almost parents-in-law. I also got the pear sencha tea, ginkgo tea and the duck tea strainer from them. Cherry blossom scented candles, Nivea in-shower body milk (I love this stuff!) and the wooden brush from my boyfriend. Pajamas from my almost grandmother-in-law, necklace from my almost sister-in-law, bodyshop giftpouch from my other almost sister-in-law. The chocolate box is from my step-mom.
In the second picture is tickets to Happoradios concert from my sister, massage gift certificate from my mother and moneyyssss from my dad, both grandparents and my godfather/uncle! I also got some regular chocolate boxes.
Omg, thats alot of stuff... I'm grateful and happy to have such a big family. ♥ Even though its not one big family, but three smaller. ^^
The first selca I took with the system camera! I really need to train taking selcas with it... As you can see, it has focused on my shirt, not my face lol.
Thats all, bye ♥

TesterKorea Haul & Review
Helloo! ~
I ordered some cosmetics from TesterKorea this autumn and decided to share my experience with them.
But first here is what I got:
So! When I was ordering from TesterKorea, there was this "Invalid" text next to the shipping methods, so I couldn't choose a shipping method. I deleted my cookies, browser history, tried other browsers (IE </3) and then I finally could select the shipping method, BUT it didn't add the shipping costs to the total. I waited for a few weeks, if TesterKorea could get it work, but no. I emailed them and they told me that I could make a manual order, which nowadays is instructed on the site, if you can't place your order, that is. If you're having problems and can't find it or want to understand better what I just wrote, then go here.
Shipping price is reasonable and depends on the weight of the package.
After I finally placed my order, I waited 2 weeks for my package, which isn't bad me thinks. All the goods were securely wrapped in bubblewrap and inside a nice box. The package was marked as a gift and the value was also a little bit less than it really was. They are really generous with samples, I got total 15 samples! Some of them were the same, but I don't mind.
Pros:
- Samples! ~
- Cheaper than most of the K-cosmetics shops
- Shipping price is reasonable
- Shipping doesn't take forever
Cons:
- Manual order is a bit troublesome, but not everyone has to do it...
I wrote this in a bit of a hurry, so I apologize for any typos, grammar mistakes or wierd phrases. :D
But thats all for now, Merry Christmas everybody ! (In case I don't have time to make a small update tomorrow!)
UPDATE: I got my second order from Tester Korea today (nothing interesting, just some essentials and a few presents) and it took about 2 weeks again to arrive and the package was secure. Only thing that was different: I didn't get any samples this time, boo. :(

Etude House Collagen Moistfull Cream & First Essence review + Ebay seller review
Etude House Collagen Moistfull Cream
Description:Formulated with Baobab Leaf Mucus and 30% of hydrolyzed Marine Collagen, this refreshing, yet concentrated moisturizer penetrates deeply to hydrate and firm for a youthful water bouncy skin. 4-Free Formula: No Parabens, Benzophenone, Mineral Oil, Talc.How to use: Every day after cleansing and toning, massage evenly over face. Pat to finish.
Consistensy: Even though it's called a cream, it's more like a gel. It is easy to spread and it sort of glides on your skin. A little goes a long way with this one.
Smell: The smell is very fresh and it reminds me of the smell of pine trees and spruces, but it's not quite like them. It's a little bit citrusy too. It's not too strong and very pleasant.
Packaging: The jar contains 60ml of product. It is feels sturdy and it looks pretty cute next to my western facial creams. I like the little curve detail in the cap. Only con is that the jar is quite deep, so you need a spatula to get the product easily out. Too bad, that this doesn't include one. My favorite color is orange so I like the color of this very much.
My Experience: I have been using this now for about one and a half months after I wash my face and my skin is not so dry as it used to be. This time of a year, my skin normally gets really dry due the cold weather, but now it's totally normal. It doesn't make my combination skin oilier. This cream moisturizes well and my skin feels moist the next day too.
Rating: 5/5
Etude House Collagen Moistfull First Essence
Description: Formulated with 90% of hydrolyzed Marine Collagen, this serum absorbs quickly into skin to provide instant hydrating and firming relief.How to use: Apply morning and evening after cleansing, prior to Facial Freshener. Pat to finish.
Consistensy: The products is gel-like, watery and pretty runny. This too is easy to spread and a little goes a long way with this too.
Smell: It's pretty much same as the Collagen Moistfull Cream.
Packaging: The bottle contains 20ml. And umm... I don't have much to say about this. The color is awesome hehe.
My Experience:Before I used this, I had to google how to use an essence. The instructions were a bit poor on the package... Anyways! This moisturizes a little and I'm still not sure what this is supposed to do exactly. It absorbs quickly into my face and it leaves a nice base for the cream and makes it even a little more easier to spread, but thats all.
The Summary: This was a nice introduction to the essences for me, but I don't get the whole idea of it. I wouldn't purchase a full-size product, but I won't run away screaming if this comes with my next Moistfull Collagen Cream.
Rating: 3/5
eBay seller
I bought this from eBay seller named worldmarket201010. The shipping was quite fast, it took only two weeks to arrive. The product was wrapped in bubblewrap and it was securely packaged. I think the item is authentic. I got three samples with it: SKIN79 Super+ BB cream (Hot Pink), Tony Moly Luminous Pure Aura CC-cream & Etude House Nymph Aura Volumer. (I'm pretty excited about the last two btw, I have wanted to try these for a while!) Based on this purchase, I recommend!

Whats up
Heya! I have been really stressed and busy lately, thanks to school. I should start doing my degree work, which is a project that should show i.e. the teachers what I have learnt in the last three years. It can also be of use when I'm are applying for a job as a part my portfolio. So I have a huge pressure to make it good and the pressure makes me not want to do it. Don't know how I'm going to survive that. Also, I should start applying to companies for my practical training. I have no idea where I would like to go or anything. I'm so lost really.
Onto happier topics! I cut my hair shorter last monday! I was so nervous and worried how it would come out, but I really love it. I love that I don't have to wait forever for my hair to dry or brush my hair. I know, totally normal to brush your hair, yes, but when you have such a long, thick and dry hair as mine was, it is total pain it the ass. When you think you have gotten rid of all the frizzes, you still find more of them.
So here is a crappy Instagram picture of my old and new hair! The quality is terrible, I know.
My face on the before picture looks so mad and unhappy :DD But thats just because I took it in the morning and I'm not a morning person.
I should really get a new camera, so I would have something else than pictures taken with my phone or pictures straight from my Instagram. Atleast I'm going to get a new phone, so the phone pictures quality will become better. Oh well, it's good to have room for improvement!

Baviphat Peach All-In-One Peeling Gel Review
Description: "This product is gommage type peeling with multi
function(pore care+dead skin cell care+brightening). Natural Cellulose
will clean your pore. It is recommended for rough skin."
Copypasted from Kpoptown.com
Mine didn't have any description or instructions with it so I had to search them from tha great Internet.
How to use: "After make sure your skin is dry, apply appropriate amount of product and massage softly and wash off with lukewarm water."
Also copypasted from Kpoptown.com
Packaging: The jar contains 100g of product and is shaped like a peach and has an extra lid with a small spoon spatula. I have to admit: I bought this just because of the container! It's just too cute! Peaches <3 I'm planning to use it as a jewerly box or something when I have used all of the product. ~
Consistensy: It is a gel-type product, which is a sort of grainy or something and it kind of rolls up or something when you rub it. It's hard to explain(for me not being a native English speaker), but you can see it from the picture.
Smell: It smells like an artificial peach. It's pretty strong scent imo so it's not for everyone, but I like it. ~
My Experience: According to some sites/reviews, the balls or rolls that come from rubbing are your dead skin cells?? I highly doubt it, because I have a habit of scratching my face when showering and that removes dead skin cells quite alot and the stuff is most of the time gray. Those ball things are pretty much the same whiteish color and IF this gel removes any dead skin cells, it must be fairly a tiny amount. But thats just how I see it. :D
Anyways! Using it is pretty simple, but rubbing is pretty tiring to me, but maybe thats because I rub my face so aggressively haha.
It makes my skin feel very soft and my face look a bit brighter. I didn't notice any difference in my pores. You can still pretty clearly smell the peach scent after use, or I at least I could. :D I have a really sensitive sense of smell.
The Summary: Overall this product is okay to me. The smell is nice aand the result is so-so, so I wouldn't repurchase.

My christmas wishlist
1. New phone. I really need a new phone. The current one is Samsung Galaxy S+ and it's not working so well. Sometimes it just freezes totally, restarts on its own when it is in my pocket, restarts on it own when I'm using it, lags a lot, etc. I think it is because the new apps are designed to the newer models and my phone can't handle them.
I'd love to have Samsung Galaxy Note 2 or 3, because I think the big screen would be really convinient. Even tough it is pretty big, I think it's a good thing. It will help me take care of it better and won't drop it accidentally from my pocket, 'cause it wont fit in there. :D
2. New glasses. My current ones are pretty worn and there are a lot of scratches on them and they are crooked. :D I would like to have a bit rounder glasses this time, they really make me look a bit more friendly and not so cold or something. Wierd explanation.
3. PlayStation 3. I really want PS3 so I can play Kingdom Hearts 1.5 HD Remix. ;D I'm maybe going to buy it used from my friend, but I need to earn some money first! I think other people are wishing for PS4, I'm so 2000 and late.
4. Korean cosmetics. I'm always craving for more. I need a new BB-cream and a facial wash and the othes would just be nice. Gotta love the Etude Houses Princess Etoinette II -line. I need one of those lipsticks in my life. (Preferably PBE102)
5. Some kind of roomwear or a pajama with shorts would be nice. I have only my jumpsuit for a lazy day at home and it's sometimes too heavy or warm to wear.
6. Money. Who wouldn't want money lol. Money would be great, I could buy all the above myself. >:3 Usually it's hard to come up with gift wishes, which are reasonable and easy for my relatives to get, so money is the best gift. :D
Yeahs. I planned to post this last weekend, but then I realized that our school period ended that week, so I had to do a few undone assignments. I'm such a model student lol.
This period is going to be the last one before practical training, which lasts for 4 months. And after that I should graduate. So, for that reason my blog may suffer and wont be so active. Funny, that now I'm into blogging, but I don't have time for it... When I had time, I wasn't interested enough. :D F my brain <3

Hush Hush Hush
Helloo! Last weekend, we had a party with our co-workers! The evening was nice and noisy lol. :D I didn't drink any alcohol, because I'm a saint. No, really I'm a bit afraid for my health. Pneunomia is no joke, so I'm taking it easy for a few weeks. I don't have any pictures of the party, but here is a few selcas I took!
I also tried galaxy nail art for the first time! It was suprisingly easy. I generally don't like these galaxy stuff, they're just too hipster/tumblr and the galaxy print clothes usually look somehow cheap to me. But on nails for example it's cool. ~
Btw, christmas is coming! Yayaayay! I really like christmas, okay? I like giving gifts and thinking what should I give to my loved ones and it feels so great when you come up with something awesome and try to imagine the look on the receivers face when they open it. Ohhh, I'm too excited. I love christmas atmosphere. It's so warm, cozy and relaxing. ♥ Okay, maybe I'll stop now before it goes overboard. Maybe it already went..
I have been planning to do a christmas wishlist next weekend, thats when I have enough time for it. I have other posts planned too, so I hope I can keep this blog a bit more active now !
Until next time! ~

Old Outfit & Catch up!
Helloooooo! ~
I have been coughing for a few weeks and last week my left rib started to hurt so bad, that I couldn't even breathe properly. So I went to see a doctor and the doctor said that I have pneumonia. Yeah. So, I got sick leave for a week and heavy antibiotics. I have got CRP-test taken three times this past week and the last one was today.
Tommorrow is my last day of sick leave and I'm not even ashamed to say that I have actually enjoyed this past week (excluding visiting the doctor and CRP). I have watched Witchblade, played Guild Wars 2, surfed the net and all that kind of stuff. I had a permission to be lazy and an order rest, so thats exactly what I did and maybe a bit needed.
So my health and other things aside! Here is an outfit from about a month or two ago. I know, I'm early with this...
Necklace(Yes, it is there.): Souvenir from my sister~
Sweater: Gina Tricot
Skirt: Ebay
Thights: Ebay
I have no idea what the flying fuck my hair is doing in this picture. :D My face also was having a nice rave, so I figured it be better to censor it. I'm not a photogenic person you see.

Holika Holika Medi-Medi Magnesium pack review
Hello peeeps ~ !
Today, I'm going to review Holika Holikas Medi-Medi Magnesium pack. I bought mine from RoseRoseShop for 6.32$ There are three different Medi-Medi packs. Vita C pack for brightening, Acetyl pack for acne skin and Magnesium for oily skin.
Description: Special Prescription for the excessively oily skin type! Magnesium derived from volcanic ashes helps to make a clean and smooth pores by controlling excessive oil and sebum. (from Rose Rose Shop)
What the package says: Enriched with Volcanic Clay. Clean pores and takes care of your skin.
How to use: Apply after washing your face and leave for 10~15 minutes. Wash off the mask. (1~2 times a week)
Smell: Suprisingly, it smells like a typical clay mask. Nothing special.
Packaging: The plastic jar feels a little cheap and I'm abit afraid that when I open it, I'll break it accidentally with my nonexistent strenght. :D The looks are nothing special and reminds me abit of some kind of apothecary product.
The jar has an extra lid, which is good, but it was hard to take it off without getting the product on your fingers. Or maybe I'm just clumsy. ^^
The Summary: I like this product. It really leaves my skin soft, non-oily and clean. It doesn't need regular use to work, which fits my purpose well. So I would repurchase, but I probably wont. :D I have too many things on my want list!

What it looks like on my creepy froggyface:D
My experience: It was easy to spread on the face and I had it on about 15 minutes. It didn't dry in that time, so it was easy to wash off. My skin felt pretty soft and smooth after it and the pores on my nose were a bit smaller or not so dark atleast. I haven't used this on a regular basis, so I don't know if the benefits are greater then. The Summary: I like this product. It really leaves my skin soft, non-oily and clean. It doesn't need regular use to work, which fits my purpose well. So I would repurchase, but I probably wont. :D I have too many things on my want list!

I'm back ~
Helloooooo ! I am back from an unexpected hiatus! :D I had pretty busy spring, cause school year ended. For summer I have no excuses. I just forgot my blog and played Guild Wars 2, went to work, visited my family and stuff. But now I have so much stuff to write about, so I try to update frequently! I have a few reviews coming and quite many hauls! So look forward to it !!

(Not so) Recent finds
Sorry for this small hiatus, I just lost my interest in everything and I couldn't care less about anything and I didn't do anything. I was pretty boring lol.
Anyways bought a few things last month that I forgot to blog about. ^^'
I also bought a light brown messenger bag from Seppälä but I'm too lazy to take pictures of it now.
Whoah, what a useless post. :DDD
Anyways bought a few things last month that I forgot to blog about. ^^'
Waxed denim jeans from Members.com ! The "brand" is Nly Trend and I paid 16,50€ for these. The limited-time sale in Members.com is already over, but you can find these jeans from Nelly.com in white. Black is apparently out of stock.
Gray sweater from Vero Moda ! (case you didn't notice from the tag:D) I paid about 9,95€ for this if I remember correctly. It's very comfy!

Kpoptown.com haul !
I made a small order on kpoptown.com a while a go. ^^ The package arrived few weeks ago, but I was too lazy to make a post, until now. So yeah, the shipping was pretty fast, took maybe a week or so for the package to arrive. My goods were very safely packaged and every product was in their own bubble wrap and there were several layers of it. I totally recommend! :)
I got Look At My Eyes Cafe in BE102 and BE101, Brush Shower Cleaner, Black Charcoal Chin Pack, Green Tea Nose Pack and Ginko Lip Area Patch from Etude House. Plus a sheet mask from The Face Shop which is called Real Nature Mask Sheet Pomegranate! Whoah, Korean cosmetics have really silly and long names!:D
So I haven't tried all of these, but I'll share my thoughts about the ones I have tried! First is the Look At My Eyes Cafe eye shadows from Etude House.
A little praise to Etude House: I think every single time when I use/try a product from Etude House I'm surprised by the quality. Etude House is not a pricey "brand" at all and you could think that their products aren't amazing, just something that you can work with, but seriously the price-quality relationship is great! Not one of their product has been as shitty as some supermarket brands here in Finland!
Now back to the eye shadows! They are pigmented enough, you don't get the perfect covering color at the first stroke but they're very buildable. They last pretty long and the finish is matte and my lids look smooth and somehow silky. I paid 2.23 € a piece so they're not bad at all !
Next up is The Face Shops Real Nature Mask Sheet Pomegranate. First sheet mask and product from the Face shop I have ever used. Before I used this mask my cheeks and nose were very dry and my face was kind of dull looking. The mask felt really refreshing on my face and it really "provided moisturized radiance" to my skin. However the sheet thing didn't fit my face at all. It was too wide, the mouth area was wierd and on next to my nose were these wierd holes, leaving small part of my cheeks non-covered. It might be that my application technique sucked butt and I did it wrong, but it was damn hard to try to move it on my face when it had sort of "taken it's place". Plus to that it did not stick to the non flat parts of my face.
Even though the sheet didn't fit, I would repurchase 'cos of the greatly working stuff on it. ^^

I also bought B.A.P's newest mini album One Shot with my boyfriend. He paid half of it's price and I paid the other half. ^^ The white random thing on the right in the picture is a folded poster! I haven't dared to open it yet. ^^ The album is really worth its price and I like every song on it a lot!

Wishlist part two - Clothes
I am back with the second part of my wishlist! Here is Part One - Shoes! This part is about clothes, as you can see from the title. ^^
I really need a dress for next summer, 'cause I'm going to a wedding! Yayy! I have never been in a proper wedding. ^^ I'm probably getting this one and see how short it is. On the model it looks quite short, but models usually are very tall so it might look more wedding appropriate on me. ^^
Btw, this dress is from SheInside.com and it costs about 22€ and I found same kind of dress (maybe the same actually) from eBay for third the SheInside price! Pretty suprising, huh..
This dress is made for me. It's just my style and has my nickname on it (which is Andy). You can't clearly see it, but it really says Andy on the front. ^^ The dress has some pretty senseless Engrish on the back, but luckily I have long hair so I can cover it. :D It looks so comfy. ~ Must have !!
Yes, I am hopping into another bandwagon and that is Boy London sweatshirts. Many K-idols have been wearing these and I'm feeling like getting my own. ^^ I'm not sure yet if I buy a fake one or real one... The real ones are pretty expensive for my budget. Most of the sweaters cost about 64€ and the repeat one is the cheapest costing 58€. :/
Tattoo tights. ~ Brings some edgyness to an outfit!

I think I'm a bit late from the peplum train. :D But I've come to think that a peplum skirt could go nicely with a certain denim shirt I have. The ruffle part would perfectly cover the bumps, lines and other random stuff that comes from shirts when they're under a skirt. I hope that I will find one with a good price. ~

Last but not least: some kind of bright red chiffon maxi skirt. This is my latest crave and I am crazy about it atm! When I'm thinking what should I wear today or for some kind of event, this skirt just pops into my mind and I can't think of anything else to wear! Really annoying and causes a lot of brainfarts when I'm dressing up in the morning. (white jeans and period nooooooooo why brain why!) I've been thinking if I'd get a high-low/asymmetric skirt instead of that kind of skirt on the picture. I just don't want to look too much like a hippie or a boho chick, so it's easier to avoid that with a high-low. :)
So thats about it! Next part is about all these random things I think I need/want.
Bye! o/

Ebay jewelry haul
I was going to make this post last sunday or in the beginning of the week but I got a flu. Just my luck to plan something for some days and be sick. But now I'm in my full strenght again wohoo! Let's get to the real topic then.
Few weeks ago I got small packages every workday. Felt like a week long christmas. :D You know the saying: package a day keeps the mental doctor away! (said a materialist).
I ordered some jewelry, 'cause I felt like my jewelry box wasn't full enough and just I can't resist cheap things with free shipping. I really should stop online shopping for a while...
So here is the whole set! Too bad that the black rose ring doesn't quite look like a rose, more like random black idontknowwhat. I forgot to take closer picture of it.
Some closer pictures (that I remembered to take lol) of my favorites.
I couldn't decide which color I'd like more so I took both. About 1€ per piece so it didn't hurt. ;D I like the rings really much and I realised when they came that they're actually grasping skeleton hands. ~
I don't know why, but I like this necklace veerrryy much. I like the little details in this, like little birds sitting on the branches and that you really can't tell what the words are on the leaves. Cheesy words on clothes and jewelry usually ruin them for me. I can't stand the overused word LOVE anymore, it's the worst! And the cheesy love lines.
Oh right! I also bought this awesome mint colored shirt!
The color is very springish(? whats that word) and I really can't wait for spring/summer so I can wear this. It's still pretty damn cold here for this. Don't mind the wrinkles on it. :--)

Wishlist part one - Shoes
I gathered some things I've wanted for a while now and I got effin' 16 pictures. So I thought it would be better to split my wishlist into three parts. So here is some shoe styles/trends, which please my eye very much. :3
Flatform sneakers
I've been drooling over flatform sneakers for a long time, but I haven't found the perfect pair yet. The ones above are pretty close, but white shoes get dirty looking fast.
Peep-toe wedges
Would be so perfect for summer! I can think of so many outfits to wear with these. ~
Ahh.. What do you call these kind of shoes? Strapped wedges? Anyways! These would be perfect for clubbing.
