Missha- check out this Korean cosmetic brand!

I went on holiday to Hong Kong for 2 weeks and of course I did lots of shopping. This time I made sure, I did  something useful when I was out there. I applied for a basic level make-up course with Missha ( a popular Korean comestic brand). I had to take a test in order to get a certificate! I can't show you the certificate yet because they spelt my name wrong so I have to wait for a new one. I hope my mum won't forget to pick it up or crease it!

After this make-up course, I decided I wanted to buy my very first full make-up collection with those make-up brushes! Yes, I'm a newbie! :) I've always wanted a set of brushes and a big collection of make-up in those cosmetic box because it feels so professional and cool. lol

I bought almost everything we used in class from Missha; Primer, BB Cream (a type of liquid foundation), loose powder, pencil eyeliner, liquid eyeliner, eye shadow base pen, foundation brush, eye shadow brush and loose powder brush. (It's not a full make-up set but I wanted to buy other stuff from other brands)

Image Above: This is a BB Boomer which is a Primer (acts as a foundation base). It's very light, feels like lotion when you're applying it on. It says it boost the adherence and duration of BB cream ( a type of liquid foundation) and makes your skin look brighter when applied before the BB Cream. When you put this on, you can see it makes your skin glow instantly.

I bought two different tones of BB Cream; one is a natural yellow beige (left) and the other is a golden beige(right). Both has the effect of UV blocking, one with SPF 25 and the other SPF 42.

I tried the golden beige to see if it would give me a tanned look. It did, it didn't make me look orange or fake, it looked very natural. As for the natural yellow beige, it just made my skin look flawless.

When you first apply BB Cream to your skin, it will look a shade darker but it will gradually blend into your natural skin colour and evens out your skin tone. You don't need to apply lots, a thin layer is enough. It also has a concealer effect, so there's no need to put concealer on after unless you really need to.

Some of you may not know what BB Cream is. It is a type of liquid foundation from Korea. It is very popular around Asia. It has a multi-function of high UV blocking effect, whitening and wrinkle care.

For those who like to be tanned may avoid high SPF however you need to know  there's a hole in the ozone layer and so UV rays are lot stronger giving us skin cancer,dark spots, skin ageing quicker. High SPF means you will be protected from getting those or at least reducing them.

This loose powder also has UV blocking effect with SPF 15. It is very light and makes your skin look flawless and smooth. This is a natural beige colour. I tried to use it on top of the Golden beige BB Cream to see if it would lighten the tan look. No, it didn't! It made my look even better, flawless and smooth. Just like those airbrush effect.

Shining stick eye, this extends the duration of the eye shadow and gives your eye make up a more 3D effect.

Black and brown water-proof eye liner. They are really good and lasts very long and very easy to apply on.

This liquid eyeliner is like a felt tip pen so makes it easier to apply on to your eye, very easy to control and it dries quick! If you're a beginner with liquid eyeliner like myself, this is the one for you. However, practice is still needed.

Safe Block- this is to be applied after you've applied lotion/moisturizer.

Like it says on the package, its a sun block cream for the face with SPF 50. Obviously, this is more suitable for when you're in hot countries (ideally you should be wearing sun block with SPF 30 in the UK).*Edit* Some may think its wierd that I said SPF 30 in UK because we don't get sun a lot. But UV rays are not visible remember lol. They are getting stronger now. Some celebrities are wearing moisturiser with SPF 30 you see!

The sun block cream is waterproof so it is ideal for when your doing sports. Get yourself protected! Not just ladies, but guys too. So tell your dad, partner, brother, friend, etc.

This eye gel mask, is quite good. I would rate it 4 out 5. Apparently, it is supposed to get rid of your dark circles IF you do it everyday. I haven't done it everyday because I've only got one pack and you can't get this product here. So, I'm not sure if it does but I can say it does make your bags less visible and gets rid of puffiness underneath the eye. Its affordable, $230 for 15 eye masks which is approx. £21.

I didn't buy alot from Missha because I was trying to save money for the rest of my holiday lol. Anyways, stayed tuned for more goodies stuff about my holiday in Hong Kong.
