Ugly Christmas Jean Flannel?! - OOTD


Happy Winter Break, Happy almost-Holidays : >

Going thrifting to snatch the perfect ugly Christmas sweater to wear to various gatherings throughout the holiday season has been an annual tradition for me, but this year, I got this oversized granny jean flannel that has borderline tacky Christmas decorations instead! 

I had a lot of fun trying to style this piece to make it look somewhat fashionable and trendy, so continue scrolling down if you're curious to see how I managed to do that! : >

이제 몇일만 있으면 크리스마스네요!ㅎㅎ
다들 즐거운 연말 보내시고 계신가요?
오늘 블로그 포스트는 홀리데이 시즌에 맞게 크리스마스 관련 아이템을 소개할껀데요!
Thrift Store이라고 불리는 미국 구제옷 가게에서 정말 저렴하게 주고 산 촌스러운 크리스마스 청남방!ㅎㅎㅎ
왠지 이 옷의 전 주인은 귀욤귀욤한 백인 할머니였을 거 같지 않나요?!ㅋㅋㅋ
제가 이 오버사이즈 셔츠를 어떻게 스타일링 했는지 궁금하시다면 계속 스크롤 스크롤~



I tucked in the bottom left half of the shirt in order to prevent it from swallowing me hehe

셔츠 자체가 너무너무 커서 제 몸 자체를 완전히 삼키더라구요ㅋㅋㅋ
(절대로 키가 쪼꼬매서 그런건 아니야 흠흠)
그래서 한쪽 끝만 슉슉 바지안으로 집어넣었어요!


That way, I was able to show off how boxy and long the shirt was, while still maintaining my figure!
Win, win : >

November Beauty Favorites

 Hello loves,

I am back with another monthly beauty favorites! I can't believe it's already December. 
My favorite time of the year is finally here! (hoho that rhymed!)

Let's get right into it!

안농, 여러분?! 벌써 12월이네요! 
11월 내내 중간고사 준비하랴, 추수감사절 보내랴, 블로그에 조금 소홀했던거 같아요. 
UC 대학들의 쿼터 시스템 (3학기 제도) 때문에 거의 매달 시험에 시달리지만... 
12월도 11월보다 덜 바쁠거 같진 않지만!! 
최대한 업데잇 많이 하려고 노력할께요 : >

이번 포스팅은 11월 뷰티 추천들이에요. 제가 11월달에 어떤 뷰티 제품들을 즐겨썼는지 알고싶다면 스크롤 스크롤! 

BENEFIT - CHEEKY SWEET SPOT (box o' brushes)




As my friend @_sharonchoi would say, "THIS IS BEAUTIFUL." Thank you for the recommendation sharongsharong; I love it. Girls, you need this palette in your life. I've never been too into blushes; in fact, this is my first time trying blushes, but wow, I've been missing out! This cute Christmas set comes with five samples of Benefit's signature blushes: dandelion, bellabamba, sugarbomb, coralista, and rockateur. Not only that, it also comes with a sample of the watt's up highlighter and the hoola bronzer. Some of you may already know, but one Benefit blush/bronzer costs 28 dollars. This palette, my loves, was only 36 dollars! Like what? Although the shades may come in sample sizes, I already know it's going to take me forever to hit pan on all of these blushes. So, so happy~ 

베네핏 블러쉬 세트. 베네핏 대표 블러쉬 다섯개, 훌라 쉐이딩, 와츠 업 하이라티터까지...
보통 낫개로 사면 하나에 28불인 베네핏 블러쉬! 이 크리스마스 세트는 36불밖에 안해요! 
항상 베네핏 블러쉬를 써보고 싶었지만 어떤 색깔을 사야하나 고민했던분들! 사세요.
자연스럽고, 부드럽고, 발색도 짱짱.
추천 추천 추천 : >

LORAC PRO PALETTE



Ever since I've purchased this palette, I have been using nothing else. The Lorac PRO palette contains the perfect set of neutral shades that will complement every eye color and skin tone. Unlike most eye shadows, the shimmer shades of this palette go on super smoothly with minimal fall outs. All throughout this Autumn, my everyday eye make-up look was created with the warmer shades of this palette (specifically, taupe, sable, espresso, and garnet). 

로락 프로 아이쉐도우 팔레트! 너무 너무 좋아요! 네이케드가 7/10 이라면 로락 프로는 9/10? 정말 이 팔레트를 사고 거의 하루도 안빠지고 쓴거같아요. 뉴트럴한 쉐도우 색감들 덕분에 에브리데이로 만만하게 쓰기 쉬운 로락 프로! 추천해요~!

KIEHL'S ULTRA FACIAL CREAM



I would consider my skin type as combination-dry, but lately, it's just been plain dry (probably due to the temperature change!). I have been getting dry patches everywhere, and I knew I had to restore the moisture back into my face somehow. I'm a fan of Kiehl because their products are usually unscented and have clean & functional packaging. This facial cream does exactly what it claims to do: "leaves skin comfortable and visibly well-balanced." If you are currently struggling with dry and irritated skin, I highly recommend that you give this moisturizer a try! I apply a generous amount to my face after toning my skin in the morning and at night. My skin has never felt more soft and hydrated : >

키엘의 유명한 울트라 페이셜 크림. 건조하고 날카로운 겨울 바람이 두려운 건성 피부들에게 추천합니다! 끈적함 없이 촉촉하고 건강한 피부를 만들어주는 모이스쳐 크림~ 좋아요!

NARS - RADIANT CREAMY CONCEALER



I think this concealer just might be one of the best concealers out there. It is light, but has great coverage. Because of its creamy consistency, you can apply it under the eyes and not worry about it creasing or looking cakey. Plus, the shade that I have (Medium 1: Custard) matches the color of my skin tone perfectly. So on my lazy days, I would just dot this concealer on my imperfections/dark circles and be out the door, without having to worry about looking spotty!

나스 래디언트 크리미 컨실러 (미디움 1 - 커스터드). 
커버리지는 미디움에서 풀? 하지만 전혀 무겁지 않아요! 나스 스탠딩 스토어는 아직 한국에 안들어왔다고 들었지만, 백화점에는 있겠죠...? 그리고 한국인들은 닥치고 그냥 미디움 1 커스터드 밖에 못 쓰실거에요...ㅎㅎㅎ 위 아래 색깔들이 너무 한국인 피부에 안맞기 때문이죠!! 하하! 매일 매일 파운데이션 바르기 귀찮은 분들께 추천합니다!

NEST - DAHLIA & VINES (LEFT), MIDNIGHT FLUER (MIDDLE), INDIGO (RIGHT)


Unfortunately, I could not find a link to this perfume set :( I got it at the Sephora's "Black Friday $10 Specials" section, so I'm not sure if they still sell this set... 

I think Dahlia & Vines has the coolest and cleanest scent out of the three. Indigo has a very sweet and youthful scent. Midnight Fleur smells the most mature and feminine. My roomie, @byefelilah, says that Midnight Fleur smells like a "fresh batch of cinnamon apple pie," so that's that HAHA. Can't get any more detailed than that ; >

블랙 프라이데이 세일날 세포라에서 10불주고 산 네스트 롤러볼 세트! 하나같이 다 너무 좋다. 개인적으로 프로럴보단 프루티한 향을 좋아하는 편이지만, 이 세트는 뭔가 취향 저격 탕탕ㅎㅎㅎㅎ 플로럴향을 좋아하는 사람들에겐 당연히 추천 추천! 프루티향을 좋아하는 사람들에게도 도전해보라고 추천 추천! 

That concludes my beauty favorites for the month of November! Tell me about some of your beauty favorites through the comment box below, instagram, or in person! I'd love to hear about them :) 

그럼 다음 포스트에서 봐요~
