Oop. The pictures are really small. Gah. I used my iTouch to take those photos as my camera wasn't working. I'll try uploading clearer pictures later on.
Right. So this is my FIRST nail polish review and this particular nail polish is from my own nail polish collection at home. I bought this while I was on holiday in Bangkok.
I remember buying it at Central World in Bangkok- highest floor, inside the supermarket.
I absolutely ADORE this colour and I simply HAD TO BUY IT. I loved it so much so that I actually bought three of this colour. One for my cousin and another spare for me ( in case I ran out of this polish).


Intro:
If I'm not mistaken, Prorance is a Korean brand and they offer 700 over items and specialize in cosmetics. Their products are now sold in over 20 countries around the world.


Review:
I've never heard of this brand previously and based on my research, it's quite hard to get your hands on Prorance products. HOWEVER, I have found a few stores (online and probably normal retail stores) that sells Prorance products in Singapore,Australia, and Thailand. I'm not too sure about Malaysia. I'm sure they do have it in Korea. Heehee. So if you're visiting Korea, make sure you get your hands on one of Prorance's nail polishes.I'm not sure about the other products but to me, based on this nail polish I have, Prorance can be classified under my "AWESOME NAIL POLISHES LIST"


Firstly, I have to say, I like the colour and I'm sure it'll suit just about any skin tone/colour. I am considered quite tanned and many a times, I find myself frustrated when I've found a stunning colour and yet it doesn't suit me. This particular shade, in my opinion, is very flexible as in suitable for tanned, dark and fair skin. I noticed that not many bloggers comment on this issue but I'm writing about this as this is one of the small details I look for when choosing nail colour. You may feel the same way too so I hope I've answered your question about this nail polish. Sometimes it's hard to judge whether or not the colour would suit you as the blogger's skin tone may differ from yours. However, you won't have any problems with this nail varnish.
Secondly, the formula is very smooth and is just about the right consistency. Not too thick, not too diluted either which, is another good point.
Thirdly, the packaging of this 15ml product is simple yet classy. I've seen other bloggers reviewing other Prorance products and to me, their classic and pretty packaging is one of their plus points.

A little bit off topic:
Prorance pearly nail colour (Mine's prorance manicure)Prorance Pearly Nail Color is a long-lasting and ultra-shiny nail lacquer is favored by professional make-up artists and is perfect for dancers who want to keep their nails looking beautiful and not have to worry about chipping and breaking during rigoro.


Bad points
~ Prorance, isn't very famous, so it may be quite hard to get.
(That's the only complain I have,really.)
~ They don't have an official website. I think they DID. But I can't seem to access to it so most likely it closed down.
~ There aren't many reviews about Prorance products so there's a risk when buying their products but now that I've one nail polish from them and judging by my opinion and testing of the product, I say it's safe to buy Prorance products as in, don't worry about the quality. (; It's all good.


Worth the $$?
It's so cheap, you wouldn't have to think twice. And YES. Yes it is worth your money, worth your time trying to find it and worth the time waiting for it to dry on your nails ;D~ Prorance, isn't very famous, so it may be quite hard to get.
(That's the only complain I have,really.)
~ They don't have an official website. I think they DID. But I can't seem to access to it so most likely it closed down.

The Body Shop's Born Lippy Review


My aunt bought this for me a few years ago (Mine has the older and slightly different packaging)


Description: Natural strawberry extract - Conditions the skin.
Organic beeswax - Moisturizes and helps to condition the hands and dry skin around the nail beds. Acts as a barrier that helps to seal in moisture. Helps to keep product texture consistent, when used over time. Helps protect and preserve the forest as well as providing necessary income for the beekeepers, an increasing number of which are now women.
Lanolin - Is one of nature's richest moisturizers. It is readily absorbed by the skin and so provides good protection for rough, dry hands.



REVIEW
Hmm. I like the fruity strawberry scent of this lipbalm and I think it's really cute that it comes in such a small container( another blogger described it as a little pot).
-Fresh,sweet and fruity scent that lasts quite long
-convienient( in little pots)
-Since it lasts quite long, one little pot is sufficient to last you a few years, although it ain't really healthy to hold on to make up products after a period of time
-It has a glossy effect
- Gives some colour to your lips
- Since I'm kinda sensitive to chemicals,etc, I'm really glad that this lipbalm didn't make me itch. I've tried other lipglosses and immediately after I remove and wipe them off, I start to itch and it's really annoying. So far, this lipbalm hasn't caused any problems yet.
-It's a really cute product and there are other flavours too. I also have the Plum Christmas Lippy one,which is like a glittery plum-purple color which I'll review later on. For Born Lippy, there are flavours like Watermelon, Orange, Mango Peach,etc.



YOU CAN GET IT @ The Body Shop stores (anywhere). So far, in all the Body Shop stores I've entered, I've seen this product being sold. Don't think this is a seasonal product. I'm positive this is one of their permanent products.
If you prefer tangy and a more tropical scent, you can choose mango peach, orange or mandrin. Strawberry and watermelon are more towards the sweet, girly, and summer-scents.

Hello. I thought I'd share something useful for my readers.

OKAY. So I know there are a group of people who have SENSITIVE SKIN. And so, many of you can't use normal commercial skin cleansers. So I thought I'd introduce you to: Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser. Most probably you've heard of it but still considering whether to use it or not, here's your answer.

I'm currently using it and it is VERY good. Truthfully, it's a non-soap cleanser and can be used everyday. Unlike soaps, it doesnt sting the eyes and doesnt have any fragrance/perfume in it. My skin is more of the sensitive type so it's safer for me to use this cleanser. Furthermore, you won't get dry skin after using Cetaphil. I've tried other cleansers before, and in my opinion, Cetaphil's the best. I get blotchy and itchy when I use other brands and one day I went to the doctor and he recommended me Cetaphil. Back then, I only used the cream/moisturizer,which is superbly good.

Although it doesn't produce/create foam when you lather up as I've mentioned before that it's a non soap cleanser,after washing, my face feels smoother and CLEANER. I think it does a really good job in eliminating all that oil accumulated on my face after a long day.

Summary
Good points: Gentle on skin, doesn't make the skin itch, eliminates oil effectively AND can be used/doubled as a make up remover! So you won't have to worry about harzardous chemicals and allergy. I had a rash once and I couldn't use normal body soap as it made it worse so I used Cetaphil. So you can use it on your whole body too,besides the face.

Bad points: So far, I haven't had any problems with Cetaphil and frankly, I'm really satisfied with it. I've already bought a few bottles of the cleanser and about 2 of the Cetaphil moisturizing cleanser to keep at home.

Worth the $$? Absolutely. Yes. This is my own personal opinion and I'm reviewing this as a product I use personally. Since I've used this for years without any problem, I decide to review this as a kick off start to a new section of my blog. Like I said, I'm happy to review anybody's products so please contact me.


BTW, I'm planning to create/link another blog for the things I review so yeah, I MAY NOT BE USING THIS BLOG FOR REVIEWING. I'm not sure about that yet. Please let me know what you think.Thanks! (:
HELLO(;

OKAY. JUST TO MAKE AN ANNOUNCEMENT, I'D BE HAPPY TO TEST/REVIEW YOUR PRODUCTS. PLEASE CONTACT ME: rachel(underscore)kdrama(at)ymail(dot)com

I can do make up reviews, nail polish reviews, skin care reviews, all things kawaii (anything Japanese or cute.heheeheh.) bags, stationery,accessories,shoes(if you need me to review-I can review! HAHAH)

SO JUST CONTACT ME YEAH? (:

Wednesday, November 10, 2010

I've joined a few giveaways and there's one thing I think I should post.

DISCLAIMER: THIS BLOG IS NOT A GIVEAWAY BLOG. THIS IS MY OWN PERSONAL BLOG,BTW.

(:
Hey peeeple. I havent been posting any like, posts about me these few days so I guess I owe you an update.

Firstly, I've just finished my schoolwork for the whole year. Actually I finished it early,(as planned) so that shows im an awesome student. Muhahaha.

Secondly, I've email auditioned for SM and PLEDIS. For SM, my audition got accepted but it doesnt mean much since I was told that accepted means like my audition was reviewed and is now in SM's database. PLEDIS havent replied me yet so we'll just scrap that. I think that email audition for PLEDIS was for their USA auditions so AIYAH. Lmao.

Thirdly, I can't wait for Christmas!

Fourthly, I'm hoping I'll get to see Jeanne, Ellie, TF, and etc again. :] i mish them.
SO, I'm PLANNING to make a comeback for class party. :PP Help out with finishing all those food. Nyeheheh.

Fifthly(?) I've finished my Korean textbook and workbook and I can read and write Korean now! Although I'm kinda stuck at spelling since "ae" and "eh" are like almost the same. And my grammar is all jumbled up. So I'm hoping Ho Jeong can come over the holidays and gimme some tuition. HAHAH. Fingers crossed.

NEXT, I've just received a super awesome wonderfully cool sushi maker from my aunt. It's like some Japanese gadget and I tell you, it's super cool. Know why? You can make like awesome rolls like California roll, and then there's tutorials on how to make sushi with heart shapes, flower shapes, bear, piggie shapes in one whole MAKI. I'll take a picture later.
I'm gonna try it out soon. It's really really cool I tell you. The Japanese really are creative peeps.

There's also like Gyoza/Dumpling maker and Sandwich maker. It's like( sandwich) a roller with different kinds of shapes you can use to shape your bread. There's like Winnie the Pooh's bear head and once you cut the bread into the shape you want, you can emboss the face! It's seriously too cute/ KAWAII for words, not to mention,functional. It'll be great for bento boxes.

Then there's the gyoza machine thingy. It's like you put the wanton skin on the roller and the filling in the middle and you turn the knob and TADAA! A perfectly folded gyoza dropped into a little tray below.

I only have the sushi maker. My aunt only bought the sushi maker. But I'D LOVE TO HAVE THE OTHERS.

PLUS POINT: The makers are functional and work on real food and it's for children(yes adults can use it too). Unlike other kiddy stuff nowadays that look awesome but once you buy it, you realise it's not practical,this sushi maker is one heck of a good buy.

THANK YOU EE. (:
