16Brand Easy Duo Eyeshadow vs. Missha Easy Trio Eyeshadow! (SHOWDOWN!)


Specifically 16Brand duo eyeshadow have been known as one of the easiest eyeshadow in the world. After many viral videos speaks highly of it, I couldn't help it but to take the opportunity with my Althea points to get this eyeshadow and another similar concept eyeshadow to compare them side by side. 

So I've got the 16Brand Eye Magazine in 01 Everyday shade and the Missha Triple Shadow in 14 Dewey Apricot. Check out the video review below for more visual. 






16Brand Eye Magazine in 01 Everyday (RM41, 2g) 

This is really expensive for just a duo eyeshadow. If it wasn't because of Althea perk points, I wouldn't even lay my hand anywhere near it. I just think that it's such an over hyped product. Sure the shades are pretty and all but really, RM41 for something like this? Man, it better be God-sent-product.


Unfortunately, it's not. The glitter fall outs were crazy with the provided brush, even when I tried it with my fingers, there where still glitter going everywhere on my face. It is definitely pigmented, blendable and buildable, but it really not as easy as one swipe. You'll still need to find a technique to make this work. I feel I have better eyeshadows that looks better and works better on my lids.

I got this from Althea too and I tried to find one with the closest match to the colours of 16brand. I personally prefer this so much better as it gives me much more control without the crazy glitter flakes. The outcome of this looks sheer but buildable and doesn't have too much fall out. Quick and easy to blend with fingers for an everyday look. 

Hand swatches.
On my eyes.

If you watch the video, you can see the dusty glitter flakes gathering around my under eyes. Tried to dust them off but as you know, glitters sometimes love sticking around like glue.  My thoughts, it's not worth paying RM41 just for the overhyped 16Brand eyeshadow, there are other cheaper brands that works better.

How To Enjoy Ramyeon/Instant Noodles At Han River When In Seoul! \\ What To Do In Seoul

Image
I believe it was early last year when a video of people cooking instant noodles and enjoying them by the Han River in Korea went viral. It was a super cool concept and I told myself if I had the chance to go around Seoul myself, experiencing ramyeon at Han River will definitely be on top of my list. Many months later, Dex and I had a trip to Seoul and did this together. While planning this trip, I was so focused on trying to find which Han River that has this special cooking machine. I thought it was only one particular place sell this but it's actually not. I believe by now, pretty much any park that's by the Han River allows you to have this experience as long as they have a convenient store. We've chosen to visit Yeouido Park by the Han River since it was one of the recommended place that my sis-in-law mentioned and she's not wrong, the park was beautiful. I personally do recommend this park too.

Printing My 2014 Memories With Canon! [HUGE GIVEAWAY]

Image
2014 has been a year of change. So many things had happened, big, small, good and bad, all I can say is that I am thankful. Or to be exact, I choose to be thankful because some things are out of our control.  I thank God for the great things that happened in my life, things such as getting a job that allows me to travel and experience different cultures, having the opportunity to do what I love which is writing and blogging, and to meet new people as well as reunited with friends that I've not seen for a really long time. I also thank God for the unpleasant moments and experiences because they are priceless, a lesson learnt for me to prepare for my future self. Not only making me stronger and more mature, but it also taught me about humility and the gift of silence.
