Hello everyone~

About a week ago I got my hand on this baby, and I was super exited! BH cosmetics is known for its affordable and good quality makeup, which is great since not everyone wants to spend an arm and a leg for a palette. But why don't we actually get into my opinion?

The review:

Right off the bat I can say that if you're a beginner in makeup, or just a makeup lover in general, and you're looking for a pretty good quality eye shadow palette that's cheap and has a good color range, get this palette.
 I feel like this is a great starter palette, since it has a very nice variety of neutrals, champagne colors, and even has bright pink and a matte black, which are a really nice plus. Most of the colors are nicely pigmented and blend well, and you could definitely make a nice range of eye looks with this.

However, this palette isn't perfect.  I do wish that there were some darker browns in here, since I do feel that having a nice solid matte dark brown in your collection is very important, but it's honestly not a big deal.
The champagne colors are great, and so are most of the brown shades, these are the colors that have a nice pigmentation and blend out very nicely. But a lot of the gray shades barely showed up, and it felt like I wasn't even applying any product to my skin (which you will see in the swatches), the same thing would happen with the lighter brown shades, but this isn't the case for most colors, so I'm not that mad about it. Sadly, the icy white shimmery shade at the bottom left which I was really exited for fell kinda flat, and ended up being pretty chalky, which was quite disappointing but I'm still probably going to use it.

Ouch...I feel like I've been a bit too rough on this palette 😕
Please don't get me wrong, overall I really enjoyed this palette, and I'm very exited to try more looks with it, since I feel like even if its a neutrals palette, it's a palette I can have a lot of fun with. (Also the purple shades in here make me really happy lol)

The Swatches:






Thank you all for reading! See ya! 💙

Hello everyone~

Today I decided to write a small post on my first impressions on this wonderful sheet mask.
I bought four of them (Shea butter, cucumber, rose, and tomato) at a cultural festival I recently attended, and the "Korea" stands were selling these sheet masks, so I couldn't leave without buying one of each...

The woman at the stand kindly explained to me what each mask was supposed to do;

Tomato: Brightening
Rose: Moisturize
Cucumber: Moisturize
Shea Butter: Add nutrients back to the skin.


I'm still kind of a mask newbie, only having tries a few masks here and there, but having tried out this Tomato one, I can confidently say that I stand by my opinion pretty strongly ;)

My immediate impression of this mask when I opened up the package was how soaked in product the actual mask was...which I assume is a good thing? Anyways, you are supposed to leave the mask on for 10-20 minutes, and I left it on for about 15.
Once I took the mask off, I immediately saw a difference on my face. My skin was a lot brighter and just overall better looking. I couldn't tell if that was actually what had happened, or if it was just my eyes trying to convince me that the product had worked, but after my family members started complimenting me on my bright looking skin, I knew that the effect was visible.
On the package it doesn't say (at least I think it doesn't, since I can't read Korean) that you have to rinse your face after taking off your mask, but I highly recommend you do anyways.
The product left my skin very sticky, even after massaging in the leftover product, but after lightly rinsing my face my skin was smoother than a babys butt.
The product is very affordable, and you can easily find it anywhere online for cheap. However, I did end up paying more that usual (About 2 US dollars) since I did buy it at a festival, and they tend to crank up the prices at such events, so I'm sure you can find it for cheaper.

Overall, I highly recommend this mask for someone who wants to brighten up dull skin, or honestly just anyone in general who feels like they deserve a little pampering ;)

Hello everybody! 👋

So this is my first blog post, and I thought that a good way to start things off was to talk about the recent Mnet Asian Music Awards that just happened a couple of nights ago 👀.
I'm not going to bother you with any other form on introduction, so we'll just get right on to my thoughts ---->

Luckily for me, I had the day off from school on the 2nd of December, so I could peacefully watch the awards from start to finish (or so I thought). It was a bit of a struggle finding a good streaming website, but after some time I finally found one in good quality and that didn't stop to buffer every 5 seconds.

The red carpet:
There isn't much I can say about the red carpet, except that everyone looked stunning. I was honestly so mesmarized by got7 because they looked so dang good. I also full on squealed when BTS showed up...(hehe).
During the red carpet, SF9 and I.O.I had a couple of performances which were really nice (I especially really enjoyed SF9's performance).

The award show:
Okay, now we're getting into the real stuff.(Quick notice, I dont quite remeber the exact order of all the awards given and the order of the performances, so it might be a little off and I'm sorry in advance if I forget to mention anything or anyone)  Let me just say right off the bat, Taemins performance had me shook. It was soo good, and I was honestly surprised, since I'm personally not that familiar with Taemin or Shinee in general, but his performance at MAMA this year really caught my attention.
Seventeens and Gfriends collaborated performance was soo frigging adorable! I was awing the whole time. Mingyu was really cute with his little bouquet, and Gfriend singing along to Very Nice was just really cute...did I mention that it was really cute? Heh.
Now...Zico, Dean, and Crush...oh my. I was singing along the whole time to Bremuda, because that song is just so dang lit, and they all looked sooo good. Zico and Crush completly killed it, and Deans high notes killed me, the whole thing was just honestly amazing.
From what I saw, Twices performance was really great, and by that I mean that the stream decided to start buffering every 2 seconds during their performance....which really sucked, but sadly there was nothing I could really do about it, so I ended up missing most of their performance.
Monsta x and Got7 did a sort of (???) type of collaboration. They didnt perform any songs together, but the opening was somewhat of a collab, and the whole "briefcase" concept was really serious and cool at first, but when they got together and opened it and just started throwing money around, it just ended up being really goofy and funny and I really enjoyed it. Pointing out the elefant in the room...when they were showing the title card of Hard Carry by Got7, they put Monsta x instead of Got7, which I know a lot of people got kind of mad about, but for me personally it was just really hilarious at the time. I know MAMA also had a couple other mess-ups this year, such as calling Day6 "Day8", but honestly I'm not all that mad about it.
Now...BTS. Sadly, during my ultimate bias group, my stream decided to start buffering once again, and I was soo frustrated becuase of it. I ended up missing most of the Blood Sweat & Tears, and missing the whole Fire performance. However, I did end up catching Boy meets evil at the start, and the end of Blood Sweat & Tears. Jimin and Hoseok at the start were just stunning, I can literally not find words to express how amazing they were. The choreography was great, and they looked so dang good, that I'm just at a lost of words. As I said before, I did end up catching the end of Blood Sweat & Tears, and can we just talk about Tae and Jin at the end?! Everyone was shook beyond belief. Tae's back and Jin and just ugghhhh....I think this just speaks for itself.
Jokes aside, I am so immensly proud of them for winning not one, but two awards. When they won artist of the year, I cried. I'm just so proud of them and how they've come this far, and they've just worked so hard and they just deserve all the love in the world.
Sadly, once again (this was happening really frequently and at this point I was furious lol) my stream decided to non-stop start buffering every few seconds during Exo's performance. So sadly, I ended up missing their entire performance, but I'm sure they did great. I'm actually probably going to look at some of the performances that were recorded again, since I ended up missing afew.
This year YG decided not to come...I know we're still all recovering from the recent breakup of 2NE1, but it still would've been nice to see YG groups there, especially BlackPink since they're really new right now. YG did state that they will not be attending due to lack of time...but I honestly think that it was a lot more to that behind the scenes, but we won't get into that right now ;)

Anyways, thank you for reading through this really long post!
Till next time,
Steph~
