Korean skincare has been getting more and more popular over the years. I personally have been using Korean skincare for about 4 years and since then, my skin has improved tremendously. I was always amazed how Korean celebrities have such clear, glossy looking skin and have been striving to get the look.
My skin type changes depending on the season, I have dry skin when I am in Asia, however in Australia my skin type is combination. I started off by doing only simple steps; first off by using just toner and moisturizer. As I got introduced to more Korean skincare products, I slowly started to introduce them into my skincare routine.
Eventually I started doing almost a "Korean 10 Step Skincare Routine" when I lived in Japan, and my skin was always glowing! When I started travelling however, I decided to cut down on my skincare as it was a hassle to bring so many products around. My skincare routine got "lazy", I was not consistent and only did skincare when I felt like it. Because of that, my skin declined and I started breaking out, getting incredibly dry skin and my skin lost its glow.
I wanted to see if I could get my skin condition to improve, so I decided to try out the Korean 10 Step Skincare Routine for a month to see if it would work on my skin! It did wonders for my skin and you can definitely see the difference after 10 days.
Now this will not work for all skin types. Everyone's skin is different so it is best to experiment with different products to see what works for you. Also, even though it is a "10 step skincare routine", not all steps are done everyday. I would sometimes not include some steps such as exfoliating as doing that everyday will just damage your skin.
But today I'm going to be reviewing them in different colours! These eyeshadows were released in Japan last year, and I believe they are only sold in Japan. However I have seen these sold on Ebay as well.
The purple colour is actually a cream eyeshadow

Quick tutorial:
First prime your eyelids (MAC Paint Pot Soft Ocre)
Use the cream eyeshadow all over your lid, and then put the bronze on half of your eyelid
Blend out with a fluffy brush:
Use a pencil brush and a dark brown eyeshadow to line your eyes, create a large wing at the end
Apply the cream eyeshadow on top of the previous eyeshadow
Done!

Final Verdict:
I LOVE this eyeshadow! I have used Rimmel eyeshadows before that I have bought in Australia, but to be honest I don't really like them. They aren't very pigmented and the fallout is huge. However I absolutely love this eyeshadow. It's super pigmented so you don't even need to use an eye primer (though I recommmend you do anyway so your eyeshadows can stay on all day). I did get these eyeshadows for free from a makeup company in Japan to try out, I would recommend this palette however it is expensive. It costs 1600yen (Approx $20) in Japan and to be honest, I wouldn't pay that much for a drugstore eyeshadow.
Pros:
- Great pigmentation!
- The colours are all lovely, especially the cream eyeshadow
- Easy to blend together
Cons:
- This one is 1600yen (around $20) for the palette, I'd say that's too expensive.
I've used these for a few years now. I love how pigmented and creamy they are! I used to carry one in my bag to touch up my lips, however the lid cracked and the product kind of went all over my bag so definitely be careful about that. The product itself is really good! Really pigmented and is smooth when applying on your lips. It's also moisturising which is good!
When I first applied it onto my lips I was surprised at how creamy and pigmented it was. It felt so nice on my lips however it didn't match the makeup I wore it with, but if i did something different with my eye makeup I feel it would be a lot better!
I really love the colour payoff! It's pigmented and not sticky at all so it feels really smooth. This would be a perfect lipgloss to match with a lot of makeup looks. It probably won't stay on after you eat so you will need to reapply!
It's a very light colour, you only get a very subtle look. Very natural so if you want something with more colour this might not be the product (or colour for you).
I absolutely LOVE these! So I first used the crayon side to apply all over my lips, then I use the smudger on top. As you can see in the picture I just applied the smudget at the top so you can see the difference. The colour changes and gives a matte finish.
This one is one of my favourites of the lots! When you apply it is quite sticky and doesn't go on as smoothly. It feels like you have oil on your lips, however it is amazing! It stained my lips so it's a great lip tint! The colour is awesome and I feel I will use this for a very long time.
This product is very watery. Unlike the pink one I tried, this one has more colour. It has a matte finish when it dries and the colour is really pretty!
Hi everyone! It's been a while since I've blogged but I'm going to try update a bit more often with new videos I upload on Youtube!
New Pokemon Makeup
This video was uploaded on the KimDao Youtube Channel a few months ago!
It's Demo, a store in Japan selling a lot of character collaboration goods released a new Pokemon makeup line, around the time Pokemon GO was released!
As you all know I'm a huge Pokemon fan, so I decided to buy the whole collection!
In today's blog I wan't to share with you guys the new Pokemon makeup as well as the cute desserts that came out with it!
It's Demo Pokemon Airy Touch Powder
This powder came with different designs but they are all exactly the same item with the same shade. It only comes in 1 shade.
As you can see from the image above, my nose is quite oily.
After applying the powder...
The shine is GONE!!
Overall I LOVE this powder! I've been using it quite a lot as it is a great setting powder. It is also very travel friendly so I bring this around with me in my makeup bag everyday!
It's Demo Pokemon Eyeshadow
The new Pokemon eyeshadows comes in different palettes, I got only 1 of them to try out.
I love the little Pikachu and Eevee in the corner of the mirror!
Swatches:
As you can see from the swatches, it's not that pigmented. I gotta be honest, I don't like this eyeshadow palette much. It was around $20 so it wasn't cheap, and the quality isn't great, it kind of reminds me of children's makeup? For $20 you can find another eyeshadow palette for much better quality so I don't recommend this one.
It's Demo Pokemon Water Tint
I'm in LOVE with lip tints! This one came in 3 colours I believe, so I went with the pink one.
I really like the packaging! It's adorable and you can use the pouch for other stuff too!
The colour is really amazing!! Definitely recommend it, it's such a pretty colour and since it is a lip tint, it will last quite a while without any retouching.
It's Demo Pokemon Lip Balm
The lip balm is just average, it came in 3 different colours/flavours. It really reminds me of the EOS lip balm, you apply it the same way. However it is not as moisturizing and it is actually quite... hard? I wouldn't really recommend this lip balm.
It's Demo Pokemon Nail Polish Base
This is a nail polish base, it's quite average so nothing too much to say about it!
It's Demo Pokemon Nail Polish
The nail polishes are super cute! Here is a swatch:
(sorry for the bad photo, I had gel nails on at the time so I had to wait till they fell off).
I really like this nail polish! It's so cute and it was very quick and easy to apply!
The next few are all food items!
Pokemon Jam Biscuits
These were actually REALLY delicious and I LOVE the jar it comes with!
Pokemon Marshmallows
A bit too sweet for my liking!
Pokemon Jelly Pop
This reminds me of those jelly lollies you used to eat as a child! I believe this was mint flavour!
Pokemon Tea
This tea was actually delicious! It's caramel flavour. I accidentally left the tea in the hot water for too long (about 20 minutes) so it tasted bitter but if you do it right, it's really nice!
