Korean skincare haul

Woohoo ! It's been an eternity, right ? My apologies. I was dealing through some annoying stuff, but now I'm back !
Recently I wanted to try some asian (korean, japanese mostly) skincare products, especially the sheet masks, since I can't find it anywhere here - well, I guess they don't sell it in France.
I tried the website malilibulle.com (a French one, I hesitated between Yesasia and this one) and I bought some pretty cool stuffz. Here are the babies !

They're all from Korea except one which is from Taiwan. Let's start (from left to right and top to bottom) :

ETUDE HOUSE Black Charcoal skin patch : just a regular skin patch (to remove dem nasty black heads, ew). It smells pretty nice ! And yes, it is all black. Bought 2 of these, I tried one only.

ETUDE HOUSE Happy Teatime Cleasing foam : ok guys, this product made my skin looking so good ! The one I used to use before kinda makes my skin dry after I wash my face even after applying moisturizer, which caused my skin to make some flakes on my upper cheeks and nose, as if it was super dry. But this one, guuuuurl, this one leaves my skin so smooth ! It also smells pretty nice, it is a combination of aloe and green tea. Gives a good cleansing and leaves a good smell on my face. I think I need another one very soon xD

MIZON Green Tea body wash : my skin does not only break out on my face but also on my chest and on my back, and the heat makes it even worse. This body wash helps regulating your skin especially if it's oily (totally my type of skin). It smells very good too (the smell lasts pretty long !) and leaves my skin nice and clean after the shower.

ETUDE HOUSE Skin Note face mask : a sheet mask, this one is supposed to reduce your pores, and it is made with clay and apple. I haven't tried this one yet !

ETUDE HOUSE It's Real pack kit : this is a kit of 3 mini face masks. Sweet pumpkin : lifting care, carrot : brightening care, sea kelp : moisturizing care. Haven't tried them yet.

ETUDE HOUSE Silk Scarf Damage hair pack + hair serum : I bought 2 of these, the argan seed one (hair repair) and the camellia seed one (for hydrated and shiny hair). I only tried the argan seed one for now, and omg. OMG. My hair was soooo soft and nice and amazing ! Incredible. So first you apply the hair mask after washing your hair (like a regular hair mask), and after washing and brushed it, apply the hair serum (like a thick cream; I was afraid that it would leave an "oily" feel but nothing), actually with my hair length I had enough serum to use it 2-3 days after. The smell is also amazing. I wonder if Etude House sells bottles of this hair serum, I need it !

ETUDE HOUSE Don't Worry tinted lipbalm : this one looks more like a lipbalm than a lipstick for me. But anyway, I got the yellow one (mango ? Peach ? I don't remember) which tint your lips in a nice peach pink color. The smell is amazing *_*.

MY BEAUTY DIARY Light Me Up ! Intensive brightening mask : this one should clarify and hydrates your skin. I haven't tried it yet. By the way this one is the taiwanese one !

INNISFREE It's Real face masks : yup, I got 5 ones xD So far I've been using 3 of them : gold kiwi (hydrates and anti dullness), adlay (cleansing and exfoliates) and bija (energising and cleansing). The ones left are the pomegranate (firmness (?) and brighteness) and the green tea (hydrates and antioxidant). These ones are pretty nice !! I feel like my face is too small for the masks haha, but they are really good. My skin is really nicely hydrated and the smell is amazing ! I really love these ones. Very nice, I'm looking forward to try the other ones :)

Alright, that's all ! I'm pretty satisfied with these products. I also got some samples, a clay mask, a moisturizing mask (that you should apply before sleeping), a cleaning oil (to remove make up I suppose) from Etude House and a cream for sensitive skin from Innisfree. I only tried the clay mask, which a light green one (almost white), which is also pretty good ! I should move to Korea to get all these nice products everyday haha. They work better than the ones I find here and they're also cheaper !! Wtf is this.
I regret a lot that I haven't thought of buying some skincare stuff when I was in Japan, I only bought a conditioner because I forgot to take mine (I only brought my shampoo lol), and that one is pretty nice too !
Europe, please take a good example on those asian products D8

That's it for today, I'm sorry that I didn't update for a while ! I'm also working on changing the banner. For a refreshing style ^^ But I should take some time... I still haven't installed all my fonts and photoshop stuffz since I got this laptop (lazybutt here). Also I should be back very soon for the 2014 second trimester haul !

See ya ! :)

iOS7 update Review

Even if you don't own an iPhone or iPad or iWhatever, you probably heard of the new iPhone release that comes with the annual iOS update. This year, it's the iOS7 one, and as I own an iPhone (the 4) I wanted to make a little review of the update, because SO MANY CHANGES.
Alright. First, I didn't want to update, because I've heard of the big changes, like, the main design. I've watched yesterday a video of Koji Seto who made his own review. And so far it didn't look too bad ! Yeah, the icons were all remade, also the main design and the lock screen, but it looked ok. I forgot to think about the fact that he owns an iPhone5, which has a bigger screen than the 4... But let's move to the next part.
I decided to update yesterday night, and when it was done, my first reaction was...

WHAT THE FUCKITY FUCK IS THAT GIMME THE OLD DESIGN BACK *sob sob sob*

Well, I don't have the choice but to get used. xD After few minutes of checking everything, well, it didn't look that bad. There are few things that I don't like, but well, I couldn't escape that new update so yeah...
It made me feel like I have a new phone, actually.
I made few screenshots so let's begin. Also you can enjoy my autumn themed wallpapers, heh.
On the left, the previous design, and on the right, the design after updating.

Welp. First, what the heck is that annoying blurry part at the bottom of the screen ? It kinda makes my screen looking smaller... I got used to it now but yesterday that new feature made me pretty mad, lol. The icons look a little bit bigger, the black part at the top disappeared and the battery icon changed a little. But there is something that I don't really enjoy, that you can see on my next screenshot :

All the main icons (mail, Safari, weather, messages, pictures etc) changed and look more simple. I don't like that new feature, they look flat and meh. Also there is now an app for FaceTime, but honestly, I don't give a single damn fuck about it as I never used it. xD Also, the font looks thinner than before.

The message and the weather app screens also changed, and they look like this :

What the fuck ? I prefered the old message design, this one looks too different. Also the keyboard changed, the keys look a bit bigger, or is it because they're white ? I don't know. But the weather screen doesn't look that bad, I got used to the old one but this looks pretty. Again, the little sun and clouds icons look a bit too simple for me but in the end it's ok.

Ah, I forgot to mention about the lock screen, this is how it looks now :

I really enjoy this one ! The entire picture is now shown. What bothered me before was that big grey line where the clock was, it was like hiding the picture, it was pretty annoying when you wanted to change the image. But this looks more clean and clear, and really makes the difference.

So yeah. Overall the font is now thinner, and what was in grey before (settings screen, for example) is now in white. They made changes in the pictures, that I find pretty useful : the pictures are now listed by day, month or year, and this is pretty cool ! If you have a lot of pictures, it's easier to look for what you want.

Also, they changed the phone keypad, the keys are now in a round shape, like this :

See ? They made everything white now, remember it was (dark) grey/blue before.

There is a new feature that I really enjoy ! You can now use the flash light as a torch, without needing a special app for that. Scroll the main screen up, and this will show :

Here you can set the brightness, or bluetooth, music etc. Look at the bottom, on the left you have the torch icon. Press it and let there be light !

The other icons are for clock, calculator and camera.

(sorry, bad focusing and yes, my phone case is pink)

You don't like the new icons ? No problem ! There are some apps that can change the icon design. I downloaded one called "CocoPPa" on the App Store, it's free and you can make cute and cool icons. I haven't tried it yet, but I think I'm gonna change some of the main icons hahah

This is the main screen, if you're interested :

As a conclusion, I'd say that this update makes you feel like you've changed your phone (at least in my opinion). Although it looks very different from iOS6 it's not that bad, of course there are things that I don't like but I have no doubt I'll get used to it. It just needs a little more time though. :) I don't plan on changing my phone so I have no choice but to learn liking the new features.

That's it for today, I hope you enjoyed and see ya later !
