If you've been following Korean Beauty for quite some time than you've heard about The Saem Cover Perfection Tip Concealer. Numerous K-Beauty influencers have been raving about this little concealer and could be considered one of their holy grails.
I was thinking about buying this concealer when I go to Korea, so I could, of course, swatch it and everything. Then YesStyle was doing a promotion during the time I was ordering a couple of clothes from YesStyle and the promotion was basically the first 100 people to use this code get a free Saem Concealer basically and I snatched it. I've been testing this for about 2 weeks and here my review!

Packaging
The Seam Cover Perfection Tip Concealer comes in a small clear plastic tube with a doe foot applicator. I'm a fan of any concealer that comes with a doe foot applicator compares to a squeeze tube or having to wind up the product like the Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Concealer because it's less messy and does not take as much time.There's 6.5 grams of product which roughly converts to .23 ounces. It contains less product than the average concealer, but it's more affordable than a concealer from Sephora.

Where To Purchase! I'll be getting a small commission if you choose to buy.
YesStyle- $4.36
StyleKorean : 5.05

Details/Coverage

The product contains SPF 28 PA++. Also, there are only 3 shades available which isn't surprising since we are talking about Korean Beauty here. Their concealers and foundations tend to rotate on the lighter scale of things since they prefer a more pale appearance. The three shades are #1 Clear Beige, #1.5 Natural Beige, and #2 Rich Beige. The shade I got was 1.5.This product is a medium to full coverage concealer. I have used this product as a concealer and foundation. I noticed that it covered my redness pretty well and dark circles, but it was more difficult to cover my acne. I had to layer it to get the coverage I wanted. The formula is thick and it applies smoothly. It does dry quickly, so blend quickly before it dries. The product stays put and doesn't move around. However, this does cling to dry patches, so make sure you moisturize your face before using it.

Overall Thoughts:
If you're looking out to try K-Beauty, I would highly recommend this product to you! I can see the hype revolving around it. Even though the product is a bit small compared to the "average" concealer the price point isn't the worst. It's relatively cheap costing about 5-6 dollars on average. It's long wearing and stays put after a day of school. I will say that if you have more a deeper skin tone than this will not be for you.

The city that never sleeps is an accurate description of Time Square. From someone who has lived their whole life in this "great" city, I got a lot of things to say. From the death of the gigantic ToyRUs that kills me in the inside to the MnM store that makes me question why isn't Hershey more popular. (Hershey gives free candy Hehe) Stores are constantly moving and changing.

A store that I have been waiting for literally the past 5 months to open was the Line Friend Stores. Line Friends are stickers character for a mobile messenger app called Line which is popular in Asia.

They are extremely cute and they obviously are the face of the store (obviously) I'm going to give the rundown of the place. Details-Pros-Cons

PROS-

Family Friendly- This would be my dream store as a kid. I had this lowkey addiction with plushies
and cute stuff. If you are someone who loves that or knows a little kid that likes that kind of thing. You might want to pin this in your travel list.

Perfect Photo- This place has so many photos opportunity. When you enter the store, there's a giant bear that will great you. which you can take a picture with. All you have to do is wait in line and the staff will take the photo for you when it's your turn. There's even a connected room to the store that is painted in pink that is honestly just like a photo op dream. Before you enter the room, there 2 statues that are stationed near the entrance that is just as cute. Waiting in line for the cashier isn't a drag. There a cute lit bear wall that you could take a picture of or with if you're out of line xD

Wonderful Location- It's located where all the tourism is at. It makes it a bit more accessible since a majority of the stores that you might want to visit are around there from Hershey to Disney.

OverPriced- It's overpriced. I mean Time Square is a tourist destination, so that was an obvious statement. I saw a small kid dino backpack retailed for $62 Us Dollars and a mug for 16 dollars. The mug was actually something that wasn't a big deal to me cause I think that's a standard price for a mug in TimesSquare. They do sell some affordable items though like notepads which is like 3 dollars.

Small- Compared to a lot of stores in Time Square. It doesn't even compete with a lot of them. It being small isn't that big of a deal, but still, I thought I had to mention it.

_____________________________________________________________________________

It's a nice place and I think you should visit it if you can. It's flipping adorable and just a cuteness overload. Here are some pictures I got to give you an overall vibe of the store

10 Hour Later and Still With The Sheet Mask

On a day your skin is just feeling cruddy and needs a pick me up a sheet mask is a wonderful idea. Just slap on that mask and relax for the xxx amount of minutes the direction tells you to. When it's time for you to take your mask off, you might be tempted to leave it on a bit longer so your skin could soak it in all that goodness, but don't do that. Just don't! Your skin will be harmed in the processed rather than in soaking the benefit. The consequences of leaving a sheet mask on for too long is your face will become drier and would not have the ability to actually absorbed in any of the product. Instead, you could try using a sheet mask each day as part of your skin routine. If you feel like you're wasting product since there is a lot of product left over, fold the sheet mask and place it around your neck for a few minutes. The neck is actually very important and is one of the first sign of aging.

Hair Product For Hair Only
Have you ever gotten any acne around the rims of your hairline? You might have accidentally made your skin come in contact with hair products such as shampoo and conditioners or hair spray. I know that this a little hard to control or at least it is for me considering I'm a bit careless when it comes to washing my hair, it bests to keep this in the back of your mind when you use any hair product and make sure to keep it near the scalp rather than your face.

Over Cleansing
As the day progresses, your skin is feeling oily, so you washed your face. 3 hours later, you re-washed your face for the same reason and repeat this process every now and so. Cleansing your face is a mean to remove the dirt and the oily that your skin holds in, but shouldn't be abused. Over cleansing can strip the natural oil in your skin that is meant to keep your skin moisturized throughout the day and make your skin drier and within the process more oily as our skin can over produce oils in order to moisturize our skin.

Makeup til you sleep
Have you ever heard that you shouldn't wear makeup because it would cause breakouts? This is the reason why. People sometimes forget that makeup can clog the pores which will cause to skin issue such as acne. You should always cleanse your face to remove your makeup and not rely on simply makeup removal. They are a helpful tool to use when removing stubborn makeup, but often they don't do the best job and leave a residue.

Oil To Dry
A common mistake with people suffering from oily skin is skipping one crucial step in skincare which is to moisturize. It's important to apply moisturizer when you have oily skin. There's a reason why your skin over produces oil. It is because it's trying to make up for the lack of moisture.

No Sunscreen
People may skip on the sunscreen when they're just laying around in the office for most of the day, but you need to apply sunscreen. The sun's ray peeps through the windows and makes its way to your skin.Also, I'm sure you're not going to keep shelter in a building all day and will eventually walk outside. You might as well apply sunscreen at the start.

Alcohol In Toner
Toner is an essential step in your skincare especially when you have a cleanser that is stripping. It brings back the moisture and provides the skin with needed antioxidants. However, a certain ingredient in your skincare could just mess up your skin and dry it out. The ingredient is alcohol. This is why you should never have alcohol in any of your skincare ingredients especially toner which is where I find it most commonly in.

This was some things that I felt like people were commonly doing and I hoped this help you in any way! If you like this post, share this with your friends and family, like this post and comment things that you were doing wrong in your skincare that is on this list or isn't! Thank you for reading this and I hope you have a wonderful day! :)

I don't even know if I should even be posting this to my blog. I don't even know how to explain my whole mind set or where I should begin. Should I even start with the picture books my eyes were glued on when I was on as a kid or just start with my inspiration for posting this. There's no point worrying.

To The Person That Made My Whole Family Paranoid: Hello :)

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

A dim classroom right across the principal office. The desk was lined in rows and I sat at the left mid back seat. Right next to me were the boys who felt like it was a smart idea to rip part of the textbook that we used to cheat right up. (Not Cheat, But She Let Us Look At The Text) My Spanish teacher announced to the class that we would be doing a project a family tree at the end of the class. She repeated this til heard to my annoyance.

I wasn't turned off by the idea. A family tree seemed like child works. It wasn't a project that you give to an honors class that was going to high school. It was more of a work you give to a 1st grader. I'm not complaining though since I didn't mind writing out my sentences out in Spanish considering I could use Google Translate or have one of my friends help me. I never said I was talented in Spanish or that my Spanish Teacher was decent. We literally had to have my 2 classmates teach us Spanish because they were a better teacher. That's beside the point.

My whole problem with the whole assignment was how can you expect me to construct a family tree when I'm ignorant to how many cousins I have or their names for that sake.

The only time I associated with my relatives was when I was raised by my grandma til age 3 and the small visits we have which last for 1-3 days. They live nowhere close to me. At that time, the closest person was one of my relative who was stationed in Maryland which would be a long ride considering I live in New York.

When I was younger, my mom would often complain how no one lived near us. I can't lie and say there was never any bitterness when I saw my friends' family picking them up. Aunt and uncles going to their graduation. That was something I didn't have. But that was when I was younger, now I don't give much of a blue clue if they live here or not or attend my graduation.

I understand modern technology would able me to call or text my family and find out all the information I need. Here the thing, calling strangers who are related to me by blood or marriage with one of uncle/aunt was just odd. Am I suppose to text them, “Hey, what your face I mean name.... I need you to answer all these personal information so I can do a project.” I get what I could just word it differently, but still, you get the point.

I could ask my parents all my question that I needed to complete the assignment, but they were busy making an income to support my family, didn't know the answer or ignore the truth.

Instead, I lied for all the information. I used my basic knowledge of that person from the short conversation I probably had with them years back or stalked their Facebook to find dates like birthday or pictures to glue.

My whole problem was not about me being all sad and mopey that no ones live near me. No that's my mom. My problem is the web of lies that surrounds my family. It would be that whenever I learn something about my family, the next thing I know it was just lies or only part of the truth.

I never really had any family value that most of my friends have. In my thoughts, my family is my mom, dad, brother, and dog. It's short and simple and no complication. This is my family value and I'm fine with it. No lie. But when my mom goes in the conversation saying, "You don't know how lucky you are to have a dad." or "I wish you lived near your grandma or near your aunt."

How do you expect me to value family when I am told lies or even go against what you told me.

I used to think that I was fully Vietnamese, so when my old classmate in Catholic School ask me. “Are you Chinese?” I always respond confidently, “No,” Fast forward 5 years later, I was told the truth. ONE PART OF IT. Mom was Irish and Chinese. Then Fast forward 1 year later, I was told that my dad isn't fully Vietnamese either. He has had a tiny percentage of Chinese. Now, I no longer say confidently that I am Vietnamese. Instead, I simply say I'm part Chinese, Vietnamese and Irish. I can't actually say I'm from Vietnamese. Can I? *the pettiness*

Here's another incident, I was told grandpa died while fighting for the Vietnam War. Nope, that was a lie... I think I should be joyful that he didn't die right? No... instead, I have a mother who's depressed about not given a chance of knowing her father and is still searching out for a man who vanished. (I do wish that she find a clue on who he was as a person, but all we got is a picture and a rendering DNA kit.) The whole reason for this lie was because of an event that occurred in the past which I have no knowledge of which made my grandpa and grandma split apart...

This is one of many occurrences of my family that I don't know and is on the smaller side of the scandalous meter. I obviously can not actually reveal all of it for personal feeling. All I could say is that in modern day society some would be cursed upon and have shades of side eye. That's something I can't change after all family is family. No matter the scandals that are in your family, by the end of the day you're related by blood.

This is a rant. I am aware. I'm sick and tired of this. Being blandly lied to.I shouldn't have to put on a detective hat and find out all the how what where why question. I'm simply 1*. I'm one person with one brain. I'm human. There are so many shocks I can take... : I

* Sorry about the cruddy grammar I typed this out at 1 am than passed out after posting it. I'll go over the grammar when I'm fully energized*

Hey! How is everyone? I'll be reviewing the Etude House OH! M' Eye Lash Volume Mascara! I never thought I would actually put out a makeup review, so hopefully everything makes sense.

Before I start the post, make sure to subscribe to the blog to stay updated with all my contents. Also follow my Instagram Thefallenwaddles! I've been feeling depressed these day, wondering if I should still post content to the blog or perhaps even slow down on the content. Cause I do post 2-3 times a week. It depends on my mood. School is approaching, so I might just time my post to help out with time managing.... Anyways, let's just get on with the makeup review.

This mascara doesn't come in a box but has a seal to protect it. The packaging is quite simple and dulled down for Etude House which isn't a bad thing. If you look through their list of products, the packaging is super adorable. Like they have a lip balm that looks a bunny. The font is script and is a pretty somewhat muted pink color which goes well with the black background. I want a shirt in that pink... I'm low-key serious... In the mascara, it says that the shelf life of this is 6 months which is pretty standard for any mascara. If you actually do throw away your mascara, you will be pleased to know that it is quite inexpensive.I bought this for about $6 US.

The mascara wand is nothing that we haven't seen before. It's pretty average. The only thing I will have to say is that it curves slightly in the center of the wand.

The color of the mascara is black. Where I bought it, there was no color option just effect options like if you wanted volume or length etc... When I applied it, it did give me a bit of volume in my lashes. It wasn't a dramatic change to my lashes. The mascara is more of a natural mascara rather than those dramatic ones. The mascara did slightly clump upon application. If you don't mind clumping than you will like this.

This mascara doesn't run. On one particular day, I was wearing this while going to China Town, my eyes were teary. I cried for a bit cause I had spicy fingers and it touched my eyes... It didn't run! Thank the Lord for that. I didn't want to be one of those horror clowns? I will have to say it is hard to remove, but my makeup isn't the best.... The best way to remove it was with warm water.

It didn't flake off through the days. I know some drugstore mascara or even high end mascara that is flakes throughout the day which can be annoying cause you got to constantly check.

I will give this a 4/5 Star. It's affordable and will last all day. It doesn't flake off and most importantly doesn't run. Yes, this mascara is kinda difficult to take off, but just head in the shower, wash your face. You should be fine. Also, I was kinda hoping for more a effect which didn't really happened.

Also, sorry for the bad eye picture. The phone I was using, does not focus. The screen protector was placed wrong which is why I guess? I can't replace it yet cause I didn't buy one and the screen protector is broken so... :I
