In 21 years, I landed my feet on Asian land for the first time ever!  I went to Shantou, ZhaoAn, ShenZhen, Hong Kong and finally, Beijing. I originally planned to show you my trip through a vlog but due to the lack of footages, I'm just going to share with you guys the pictures I took. :) #1st stop: Shantou / 汕头  (inside of the Suning Mall) (Entrance hall of Golden Gulf Hotel) #2nd stop: ZhaoAn / 诏安 (Entrance of the temple) (small peek of the inside, the temple is giant, there is different 'small temple' that were specifically dedicated to some buddhas etc.) #3rd stop: Hong Kong / 香港 (Harbour City) (Central) #4th stop: Beijing / 北京

My journey to have light colored hair without bleaching ... Part that I've forgotten to post earlier. :( Since my roots were getting longer, I thought that it would be the timing to do another hair coloring. I did this coloration after weeks after I tried out Missha Sand Brown color . This time I picked ' Vanilla Gold Brown ' color from Etude House's cream dyes. This is how my hair looks like before the coloration . Black roots, a mix of blonde/remaining of red coloration (please don't mind my bare face) * * * After the coloration . My roots came out much lighter! There is still a bit of reddish brown but it's not really that visible. Overall : - Very good coverage - Long lasting             - The dye doesn't smell bad - Less easy to apply than a bubble dye (obviously) The color turned out quite prettily, even though it's more like a dark blonde than gold brown I gues...

So this summer I went to China with my aunt & uncle for the first time ever. And our plan included a €99 Beijing Tour (8 days). It's a tour that's supposed to cost you only €99 (or $, depending on where you're at), which covers hotel fees, meals, entry fees for museum or whatever you'll be visiting. But, really? only €99? I'm just going to talk about the scams, as for the visits and stuff, I'm just going to skip it, but if you're interested, you can ask. TEA SHOP On the 1st day, we were brought to a tea shop, to have a small talk about tea and to try them. At the end, they presented us the teas we tried and were trying to sell them to us. The prices go from ~$25 to ~$60. I really liked it but.. I was like " even my Mariage Frères tea doesn't cost that much? " so I wasn't planning to buy anything. The salespersons start coming at us asking us if we were interested and we told them "no" but you know, they were real...

While looking for a cushion, I discovered that white cushions exist!  This one is the Air Fit Cushion Bboyan from A'PIEU . It has a SPF 50+ , which makes it perfect for the summer, especially for those who are very pale and need extra protection. ' 뽀얀 ' (bboyan) literally means ' immaculate '. In case that I have to say it out loud.. yes, it turned out just to be some kind of sunscreen cushion. I actually wanted to use it for cosplay, because the characters that I cos are usually very pale. It does help a little if you apply a good quantity, but if you lightly dab it on your skin, it isn't showing very much.  This is the result of a lot of layers, almost painting my forearm, lol. I'd give it a 4/5. I don't think that it was a very useful purchase, as the usual BB or CC cushion already have a SPF 30+ or sometimes, even 50+. Just like sunscreen, the texture is a bit .. thick (?), and not as liquid as...

You can call this my umpteenth hair experience but it's my first time trying Palty bubble hair dye . I got tired of my very yellow blonde hair and I thought about dying it in a light brown color. The box contains: the coloring cream, the oxyde water and hair conditionner.  It also comes with a cup and some sort of spatula to mix the color. And of course, the instructions and a pair of gloves.   The usual, mix the cream and the oxyde water: then you're done! Unlike bubble hair dyes from Etude House, this one doesn't smell great. D: BEFORE This is what my hair looked it before I dyed it: very yellow blonde. AFTER Surprise! I even got blonder than before. I was laughing to much, I know that bubble dyes don't work well on light colored hair but I thought I'd get a darker shade of blonde but it surprisingly went lighter! I guess it's because there's a ash tone in it, so it toned my yellow col...
