Girl's Day !!

Hello~♥

This week, going to talk about Girl's Day's comeback !

I've been really into Girl's Day since they first introduced themsevles trough their channel on youtube, with many interesting videos ^-^
I was completely breathless when I saw the videos where they're dancing in the street ! These girls, are diamonds, and I mean it~

Unfortunately, after I listened and watched their first single, I was pretty sad because they just did an " aegyo " concept, nothing special at all.. From their sexy moves and trendy clothes to their pretty and preppy ones, not to mention those colourful plastic hair.. This concept has not been as great as many of us might have expected, and it certainly affected them.
That is why two of them decided to leave the group, JiIn and JiSun, two really good dancers.. :(

For their 1st comeback, they had to add two new girls to the band, hoping for this song to be more appreciated than the first one.
And BANG ! This song matched them much more and was really catchy ! The outfits were really nice and sexy and reminded me of their pre-débuts a bit.
With this song, they finally had the world at feet (ok, more or less xD)

And today was their 2nd comeback !!
I have to say that I was really surprised when I saw the teaser, because I didn't see anything anywhere announcing their comeback (Laaame~)
But yes, today was the release of their new single and of its music video !
At first look, the set seems really colourful, and reminds me of Spring and Summer (which I miss a lot..), so it's a good point ^-^
Their outfits are, well, interesting .? I don't really like the mix of black and yellow, it's somehow pretty harsh.. But I really loved the white and blue version, especially JiHae's outfit, hehe
 But what I really liked was the beginning, showing MinAh acting silly ! Well, it continued until almost the end of the MV, but it was really cute and funny~
Cute ? Yes, this is once again part of their concept, but I would say that this time it could be seen as " Cute, Jealous & Silly ".
 I also like the quality of the video but I have that feeling of déjà vu.. maybe the fact of seeing a girl with blonde dyed hair reminds me of.. Secret ? But we can't deny that there's often a blonde haired girl/boy in groups these days~
Of course the dance matches perfectly the concept and is really adorable, but - yeah, there's a but - I wish it was more powerful.. I just can't forget how cool were their street-dance performance before they debuted, I just can't, I'm sorry~

But anyway, I hope that this comeback will be a great success and be sure that this catchy song will go on my Ipod right away ;)

The girls~♥


Because I can't get enough of their Badassness~


  Because I still like it though~


Nothing lasts~

BB... Cream 8)

Hiya~♥

Finally got time today to write an entry :D

I'm going to review my BB Cream, which is the Gingko Green from SkinFood~

Well I have to say that I was really surprised to have a BB Cream matching my light skin tone, because actually, my face is really, really fair. I've even got lots of jokes about this ^-^
So yeah, I'm not able to find foundations matching my complexion and I've been looking almost everywhere in vain.. Hopefully I don't really need to wear lots of make up since I'm still going to school, I don't want to have an horrible cakey face xD
So once I decided to have a look at BB Creams because it's a very interesting product and because this what I always do ^-^ And then I saw that this one was said to be very light, so I felt like it was maybe going to be my savior~
Dang it ! It's just the perfect colour :)
So my carnation is really pale, and I have some yellow and pink tones - and really pink when I start blushing xD
I love the smell of this product ! I'm never really appealed in general by creams' smell, but this one is pretty nice~
Also I think the packaging is really nice, I like the golden writing and the overall design ^-^
My friends are already addicted to this, hehe~

I usually add my concealer under my eyes which is a bit too dark, and then I apply on the top of it my BB Cream up to the apples of my cheeks~



I love you~~♥

GaIn & Narsha's make up looks~



Hey~

A bit early this week, because starting sunday, It'll be difficult for me to make entries during 2 weeks..

Anyway, today I'll be talking about GaIn and Narsha's make up looks, not about their everyday look, but more those we've been able to see during their last comebacks. Because maybe you didn't noticed, but sincerely, each time, I was completely dazzled~
Narsha unnie has been the one with the most powerful make ups & wigs, and I can't imagine how much time it might have taken to the artists to achieve those looks and how much money it cost ^-^ But I will stop complaining and comment one of the most impressive looks, which is of course when she's wearing that bleached blond wig~
The make up is on the entire lid, and it involves bright colours like yellow, blue and that flashy pink which is I think the most important among all of them. The colours are cooled down thanks to a white eye-shadow applied all over the upper part of the lid, which somehow creates the impression of having pastel colors, even more since any of them contain shimmers. And of course because she wants to make her eyes look bigger - this look especially - she has a blue line redefining the corners of her eyelid in order to make it appear larger. She also wears very big fake-lashes mainly on the ends for the upper ones and the lower are also very important.
She wears quite a lot of a dark orange blush, which she did often during this period. Apart of all of this, she does not have lipstick nor gloss because the make up is already very dramatic thanks to eyes, she just tried to cover them up with a bit of foundation and put a clear gloss.
I really adore this make up ^-^


The queen playing with her chopsticks~


For GaIn, she's always wearing a very thick black eye make up, but for her comebacks, she added sometimes a very pretty blue line on the top of her lid, and seriously it was to die for.
I think that the key of this look is to accentuate the shape of the eyes, so they draw the lines as far as they could on the extremities. I also noticed a white shimmering eye-shadow between the black and the blue, it's very pretty ^-^ Of course she's wearing false-lashes - anyway, what is a Korean celebrity without false-lashes ? - and some glitters under her bottom lashes~
She does not wear any blush, so far among all the pictures I've seen of her recently she never really does. On her mouth it's maybe not obvious but she's wearing a pink/red  lipstick on the inner part and some foundation on the corners of her lips which makes them appear undefined, quite a trend in Korea recently :)


GaIn's strong eye make up ^-^


I wanted to show as well other make up looks from those two that I really appreciated:


Very dramatic Black/Brown/Golden eye make up


Bling-Bling Eye make up~~


Once again blue & black liner

Oh, I wanted to show this Parody that Big Bang just made of Secret Garden, it's amazing ^-^

Week 4~



빅.... !!!

After 2 years of long awaiting, 5 months of delaying , they're back !!
With a '5 days' teaser concept, 12 seconds per member, really hard to get fed up ! Even more when there's that feeling of never being able to wait five entire days ! ^-^
But because we're VIPs, we control ourselves, with class ;)

Okay, so I was pretty disappointed at first, because from 18 tracks to only 6 including 2 tracks from previous Japanese albums, there's a big difference, even if some of them went into GD&TOP's album, you can't deny that, for Big Bang, it seems quite cheap compared to what we're been used to in the previous months - YG comebacks: Taeyang, Se7en, 2NE1, GD&TOP, Seungri, for me and maybe many other people, a big thing was coming with BB.. well..- but after five months, and those five days of craziness, début of many rookies delayed.. only for a mini-album~
Maybe that's what led me to write negatively on this as well, maybe be because I didn't find the songs as cool as I was expecting.. I thought it was going to be songs with a big impact, like it was for Haru Haru or Lies..
Yeah, high expectations ^-^
But after a few plays, I loved them all~~ Haha, it sounds really childish, but it's not like listening to a song for the first time, and falling completely in love with it~♥

But what really, really annoyed me, is that I kept listening to a song they were recording in their studio while being filmed for 2NE1 TV, and it's not in the mini-album...such an horrible fate for me.
왜요 ? 우리 빅뱅은...죽고 싶어요 ?? Just kidding :)
I just hope they'll release this song someday.. ^-^



Big Bang in your face, BLAH !


Leaving you with this video combining my favourite group and my favourite drama~♥
Enjoy, this is priceless :)

Cooking Time~♥

안녕~♥

Finally Sunday~ And I'm on holidays for 2 weeks, it feels so good !
Anyway ^-^ Today I'm going to show you how to make cute little Hello Kitty cakes, but I promise, it's very easy to do, and I don't think it takes much time to be achieved.
The thing that is absolutely needed to create such little kitties I'm afraid, is a mold.. but if you happen to have one or can get one, then keep reading !

So, you will need:
- a Hello Kitty mold
- 120g/4,5oz of flour
- 120g/4,5oz of sugar
- 120g/4,5oz of liquid butter
- 4 eggs (medium size)
- 30g/1oz of vanilla sugar
- 1 teaspoon of liquid vanilla

It's supposed to be a madeleine dough, because like that it's not going to rise too much while being in the oven~

Step 1: Heat the butter for it to become liquid~
Step 2: Take a dish and add the flour, the sugar, the liquid butter, the 4 eggs, the vanilla sugar and the liquid vanilla as well~
Step 3: Mix it up until it becomes smooth~
Step 4: turn on the oven and let it heat (350°F/180°C)~
Step 5: Now you can take your time to fill up the mold !
Step 6: Put it in the oven, and wait for 15-20 minutes, depending on how you want them :)
Step 7: take out the mold, and do the same until there is no more dough~

Fighting !


My mold, but I bet you can find many different kinds of HK molds :)




Ready to fight !

I hope to do more Cooking entries in the future~

By the way, I can't wait to see Bg Bang's comeback !
대박 !!!

Week 3: Dream High !


안녕하세요? Adeline입니다~

I think I will write posts every Sunday, which is almost the only day I have time to write something here :)

This week I started to watch Dream High, because I watched all the episodes of My Princess that were out ^-^'
And, WOW ! This drama is really really good ! I just though it was a way to put plenty of singers so that people would watch it to see their favourite Idol, but the intrigue is really good and they play quite well ! And the Love triangle.. good choice ! I never heard about Kim Soohyun until recently, but he plays really well the countryside newbie haha~

I also love all the make ups I've been able to see up until now, even when Suzy is 'supposed' not to have some on.. haha. Because she only has a very thin line of black eye-liner on the top and on the outer corners she seems to have a little bit of brown eye-shadow to extend and open her eyes. She also wears a darker pink on her lower lip, very pretty ! But yet, very natural and wearable~
Usually lead female roles don't wear lots of make up, because they're supposed to be innocent and because the story takes place in a kinda everyday life context.
I also loved IU's make up, but she is maybe a little too white for me.. since her hair is black and since she doesn't wear any blush, but bright pink lipstick, well it makes a seizing contrast !

Haha, Also, It was very funny when Nichkhun made a cameo through a CF.. I won't say more but definitely LMAO  ^-^

Soohyun !! ♥♥

IU alias Pil Sook

One of the numerous wonderful make ups of the drama

Suzy alias Hye Mi here




I don't know yet what will be in my next entry.. Maybe will I finally talk about pastry ? ^-^

Hey :)

Sunday ! I'm keeping my promise ! Which is to write at least one article per week :)
I was really busy with school this week, I even had a essay last Saturday... uh~

But anyway ! Today I'll be talking about what colour &stuff I use to 'draw' on my nails, the eye make up of Boa in the MV Copy & Paste, and SeungRi's album !!

So for my nails when I say drawing, it's no really drawing, it's not so precise ^-^
I usually put a colour on the ends of my nails, and then apply a coat of glitters, because it lasts longer and it's much more cooler~ yay


a degraded purple with glitters

a shiny wearable gold pink


I know it's been a long time since Boa did Copy & Paste, but I felt like posting something about this :)
I reaally fall in love with this make up, it seems quite simple at first look, yet you know it needs some time to be achieved, haha
But obviously what help this make up to be so wonderful are the eyelashes and the circle lens !
Boa does not seem to wear anything else - apart a ton of foundation and BB cream, haha - so it catches our attention easily, or at least mine !
I tried to do it, once I had time to loose - damn it I miss those days.. - and it was so much fun !!
Check it out !


Boa~



My try~



A few weeks ago, SeungRi of Big Bang released his own album, where most of the lyrics and melodies are made by non other than himself~
I think that's really cool because unfortunately today not a lot of Idols write or compose their own songs.
So at first I wasn't really into it, but some days ago I re-listened to it and big BANG, I was addicted~
My favourites are "VVIP" and the Outro called "In my world", but I also like "I know" sang with IU, so sweet~

Kyeooo~

VVIP

Oh, I want to show this video !
Haha, I was so laughing out load when I saw it~
It sounds like SeungRi just came in order to interrupt his Hyung haha !

Make ups à la Park Bom

I'm always checking for pictures with close ups on Park Bom of 2NE1's face because her eye make up is really cool and imposing :)
Especially when she adds slight touches of colour under her bottom lashes, or a thin line on the top of a thick black line on the upper lid.

I noticed that she also liked to wear false lashes and of course circle lens, yet almost every Idols do this ^-^
You can tell by this description that her make ups are dramatic and very black.
As far as I noticed, she doesn't seem to wear any blush or just slightly~

Give a look at the pictures below, aren't those great hits ? :)
Hum.. maybe not suitable for school but definitely a proper look for the group's image !

On this one she's got yellow eyeshadow, very close to the upper lashes ~

Lots of glitters under black eyeliner, below her lower lashes~

A very thin blue line close to the black one (always black liner anyway~)

Hello~♥


I'm so excited about starting this blog, which is for me a première, since I'll be writing it in English :)
The goal of this blog is for me to show through my articles the make ups I did, those I liked, I'm also addicted to nail art so I might write about it too. I will also - Oh fcourse I will ! - talk about K-pop stuff, such as the rookies coming in the industry, the new albums, MVs, gossips that caught my attention,.. so much to say :D
I will maybe write about cooking, since I love to make muffins and recently tried new things, I could be interesting to share this and to learn more maybe !

I wish to have the time to write an article per week, and I wish to stick to it.. ^-^And of course I will put overload cuteness everywhere~
I will try to add some articles that would be about "The special thing of the week", or my "My coup de coeur", which right now seems to be pretty interesting..  :)

Oh now, let's introduce myself  :)

As you may have noticed, my name is Adeline, I'm French and as I love to claim, I am sweet sixteen
I love to speak English, which is one of the reason that led me to make this blog. Moreover, everybody can understand and it also makes me practise a little more ^-^'
I wish to become a Make up Artist, and am already 'practising', which is so much fun I have to say ^-^
I love cute stuff, I love Korea, and lots of things related to it, haha, I guess you got it :)

Anyway, I didn't have the bravery to do this blog until now, because I thought it'd be quite hard for me to make it works. But at present, I have some ideas that'd be interesting to show up  ;)

If you think you'll be interested in what I am talking about, be sure to keep aware of the articles coming !
