SINICAL ATTITUDES X TEEN VOGUE BTSS PARTY

Hey guys,

Teen Vogue contacted me in the beginning of summer asking if I was interested in hosting a "Back to School Saturday" party. I've always been a huge fan of Teen Vogue and more than interested in event planning, so I replied to my invite with a huge "YES, COUNT ME IN" even before I finished reading my invite. They sent me a trunk full of back to school necessities to hand out to my attendees, for example, Maybelline mascara, Simple cleansing waters, cleaning wipes, Tampex tampons, Not Your Mother's hair primer, American Apparel denim circle skirts, and more.

I invited 15 of my closest friends to my new apartment. Our party was held just like any of our other hang out sessions. Every attendee brought one type of finger food each, so we had plenty of food to enjoy and snack on throughout the entire event.

For products that I did not have enough to give out to everyone, we played simple games to determine who gets to take what. You better believe that the games got competitive real soon ; >

I also set up a photo booth wall where they got to freely take pictures for their personal social media.

Christie, Naomi, and Audrey repping products.

CANDID

SNACKS ARE THE BEST

Shout out to Teen Vogue and all the sponsors for making this event possible. Huge THANK YOU to my attendees for coming out and kicking off another school year with me.

MAC HAUL | 맥 하울

Hallo friends,

 I've recently developed a new obsession for MAC. It's actually quite scary how many MAC products I've accumulated throughout the past two(?) months, but I'm more than satisfied with all of my purchases ohoho : >

All of the products that I'm going to show you guys today have been part of my daily make-up routine, so I have plenty to say about ALL of them! Let's just jump right into it then!

지난 2달간 한개씩 야금 야금 모은 맥 제품들!

다 너무 만족하면서 쓰고있어요!!

제가 오늘 소개할 모든 제품들은 평소에 데일리 메이크업으로도 자주 사용하는 애들이라서 후기도 최대한 꼼꼼히 적어볼게용~

EYE SHADOW - EXPENSIVE PINK

Although the name of this shadow has the word "pink" in it, I think this shade is closer to a coral/orange, rose gold than a pink. Swatched, you can see that is a beautiful salmon-y color with a sheen of gold shimmer. I think this shade looks gorgeous on every skin tone. It is extremely blendable and easy to work with--perfect for daily use! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT OK JUST GO BUY IT

진짜 인생 쉐도우... 

너무 예쁜 바세린광을 띄는 코랄/로즈골드 쉐도우! 

밀착력, 발색력, 지속력 다 무난하게 좋아서 데일리로 쓰기 너무 좋아요 : >

요즘 데일리 메이크업 이거랑 그냥 아무 브라운 아이라이너로 땡 한다늉...

추천 추천!!

BLUSH - PEACHES

A coral/peach shade that can also look a little orange under certain lighting. This blush instantly brightens your face and makes your overall look more lively and youthful. 

PS. Make sure to use a light hand with this blush! It's super pigmented :o 

피치피치한 코랄 블러쉬. 

스킨톤을 밝혀주며 여리여리하고 소녀소녀한 룩을 완성시켜줘요!

발색킹이니 가볍게 톡톡 얹어주세요~

LIPSTICK (MATTE) - RELENTLESSLY RED

I've always loved the matte lipstick look, but yo girl has super dry lips...(sigh) BUT FOR SOME REASON, MAC matte lipsticks don't feel as drying as other brands (not gonna name any names). Although the name of this lipstick has the word "red" in it, when applied on the lips, I feel like this shade is closer to a hot pink, if anything (MAC's naming game is not on-point...or do they do it on purpose? we will never know). Absolutely love the matte texture, longevity, and pigmentation.

형광기 도는 핫핑크 컬러! 

포인트 립은 하고 싶고, 레드립은 너무 더워 보이고... 

이번 여름엔 핫핑크로 통통 튀는 룩을 시도해보아요~

FULL LIPS / 풀발색

LIGHTLY APPLIED (applied on the inner half, then blended outwards) / 그라데이션 립 (톡톡쳐서 바르기)

LIPSTICK (MATTE) - LADY DANGER

Another bright lip wau wau~ Beware: when you go outside with this lipstick on, people will only stare at your lips. One of the brightest and obnoxiously red lipsticks that I own, but I LAHVE IT. The orange undertone makes this shade more wearable than true reds--especially for people with a warmer skin tone! A solid conversation starter (I've gotten compliments on this lipstick even from my visual arts professor) and a bold, statement piece! 

주황 형광기가 도는 다홍 레드. 웜톤 피부를 가진 분들께 추천해드려요!

입술만 이렇게 찍어놓으니 입만 동동 뜨는거 같은데 놀랍게도 다양한 메이크업 룩에 어울린답니다!!

FULL LIP / 풀발색

LIGHTLY APPLIED (applied on the inner half, then blended outwards) / 그라데이션 립 (톡톡쳐서 바르기)

EYE SHADOW - SOFT BROWN

I was in the market for a new base shadow that'll go with any eye make-up look. I debated intensely between this one, MAC - SOBA, and BOBBI BROWN - TOAST. Then, I vaguely remembered my friend, @sunnybabyy, raving about this shadow, saying that it has been one of her holy grail shadows for the past however many years, so I decided to settle on it (and I'm glad I did!). It has a peachy undertone compared to soba and toast, and I think that makes it look more natural on my skin tone and better suits the make-up style that I prefer!

소프트 브라운! 피치 언더톤이 너무너무 맘에 들어요! 무난하게 데일리 베이스로 쓰기 좋아요~

  That's it, guys! (well, at least for now) 

I shall update you guys again if I end up getting moar shtuff hue hue :3 

끘ㅆㅆㅆ! 언제 또 뭐를 지를지 모르겠지만...ㅎㅎ

이제 4일 후면 집에 가요ㅠㅠㅠㅠ 벌써 2학년이 끝이라니...

다음 블로그 포스트는 집에서 만나뵙겠습니다 ^___^ 

Wish me luck on my finals! 

Best fishes,

Sini.

SWATCH | REVIEW: Lime Crime Venus Palette

Hey guys! 

I'm here to review a fresh addition to my, slowly but surely, expanding vanity collection (aka MAKE-UP). I've been really digging' the pink make-up look for the Spring time, which eventually made me get into red eye shadows... TBH, 9 out of the 10 times, my daily eye make-up these days make me look like I have an eye irritation, but I kinda lyke... Is that weird? Anyway, due to this odd obsession (that'll last for who knows how long--it's probably just a phase), I've been on the market for red/burgundy eye shadows, and I FINALLY FOUND THE PERFECT PALETTE THAT'LL SATISFY MY CRAVING.

So, for those of you who are willing to step out of your comfort zone of nude and brown shadows and explore the "red-eye" make-up trend (is it even a trend doe) with me, let me show you gurl.

요즘 부쩍 메이크업에 대한 관심이 솟아나고있는 시니입니다.

평범한 브라운/누드 쉐도우들은 저리 가라!

 봄맞이 데일리룩으로 핑크 쉐도우를 즐겨 썼었는데요, 

더더더 강하고 튀는걸 찾다보니 레드룩에 정착했댜늉... 

잘못하면 심하게 부어 보일수도 있고, 

눈병난거처럼 보일수도 있는 룩이지만... 

그냥... 지금 빠져있는걸 어떠켛ㅎㅎㅎ... 

빨강이/버건디 쉐도우를 찾다가 

라임 크라임에서 진짜 취!저! 쉐도우 팰랫을 발견해서 

바로 겟!!!!!!했찌요~ 

그럼 발색 보러 꼬우!

Lime Crime: Venus Palette

GET IT HERE: http://www.limecrime.com/venus-the-grunge-palette/

Top row (from left to right): Venus, Shell, Aura, Creation

Bottom row (from left to right): Icon, Rebirth, Divine, Muse

VENUS:

It's definitely my favorite shade in the palette. It's a more orangy-red, which makes it definitely more wearable and easier to work with. It also glides on the smoothest out of all the shades.

SHELL: 

A perfect highlighter shade for those of you that like to give your inner eye corners that extra shine and glow. Beautiful peachy-pink shade that has a sheen of champaign shimmer!

AURA: 

I think the name of this shade is so fitting. It has a fine gold sheen to it, so nothing too in-your-face. This cream shadow is the perfect base and highlighter shade for any make-up look. 

CREATION: 

Brick color with an orange tone? This shade is definitely more on the browner side, but it's definitely special because it has small particles of red/hot-pink glitter in it.

ICON: 

Just like the shade Creation, Icon also has particles of red/hot-pink glitter. It may seem like your typical brown shadow, but it'll definitely give you that extra sparkle in your eyes, unlike any matte brown shadow.

REBIRTH: 

A very pretty coral pink shade that's perfect for the warmer months to come. This shade alone looks so famine and Spring/Summer appropriate!

DIVINE: 

The perfect blending shade for defining the crease area and blending away any two shades. Also, this shimmery taupe color serves as a beautiful all-over-the-lid base when you apply it using a lighter hand.

MUSE:

This is it guys. The red I've been in searching for. It is bold, deep, and so freaking red L O L. Muse is the shade that lies in between a solid primary red and a deep burgundy. Although it looks quite scary swatched on my wrist, you guys would be surprised at how wearable it actually is : >

Overall, I am in love with the color selections and creamy texture of this palette. Although the glitter in all of these shadows are quite large and predominant, which ultimately make them more prone to fall-outs, I still love the color pay-off and blendability!

전체적으로 펄날림이 없지는 않지만

 색감들, 그리고  블렌딩하기 쉬운 크리미한 질감이 너무 맘에 들어서 

만족하며 쓰고있어요! : >

I hope this review was helpful for those of you who are willing to explore bolder eye looks and/or interested in checking out lime crime products! 

See you in my next blog post!

I THOUGH IT WAS SPRING - OOTD

Hallo my friends~

Although month wise, we are smack-dab in the middle of Spring, the San Diegan weather doesn't think so. For over a week, we've been experiencing unusually gloomy and cold weather, so I've been regretting sending away my fall/winter clothes back home with my parents :'( But what can I do; I need to work with what I have, right? Today, I had an internship meeting and work, so I couldn't completely bum it in my cozy UCSD hoodie and some trustee sweats (sigh)... SHO, I decided to throw on my cape-like maxi cardigan on top of a flowy lacy mock-neck shirt in order to look a little more put-together, yet covered from head to toe (literally).

한국은 완전 봄인가요? 캘리포니아 날씨는 정말 변덕스러워요 ㅠㅠ 몇주전에는 여름 뺨치게 덥더니 지난 일주일은 정말 gloomy gloomy. 다른 날 같았으면 그냥 학교후디에 츄리닝바지를 입고 클래스 갔겠지만, 오늘은 인턴쉽 미팅이랑 과외하는 날...ㅎ 따땃한 옷들을 집으로 보내버린게 너무 후회되는 순간 :'( 그나마 니트스러운(?) 맥시 가디건을 걸치고 덜덜 떨면서 하루종일 여기저기 누비고 다녔다지요...

outfit details:

maxi cardigan: urban outfitters

lace shirt: forever 21

skinny jeans: forever 21

slip-ons: circus (nordstrom)

Hopefully, I'll be able to put together an #ootd that's more suitable for the warmer months by my next blog post. But if this cold weather's here to stay, I guess that's cool too. 

Hope to see you in my next blog post! 

그럼 다음 포스트에서 봐요!!

안농~
