BBcreamshop overal review

Hello everyone~

I want to do an overal review for BBcreamshop, a website that offers Korean cosmetics and skincare to European countries. I was so happy when I found out about them, because ordering Korean cosmetics has always been a bit of a problem for me, but not anymore! I've mentioned this website a couple times before on my facebook page, but I want to dedicate a blogpost to them now, because they definitely deserve the publicity. I'll explain why!

First of all, their service is amazing. I placed an order at around 7pm and I got it the next day. Packed in a small box filled with soft protection material came my bb cream samples and whitening serum, along with many other samples and an etude house yogurt mask which they generously sent me as well.

The products they offer are from various brands, providing us with a long but organized list to choose from. Want to experiment with different bb creams to find out which one suits you best? No problem! Just order a couple of the 3 - 4 euro samples and give them a try! The bottles will last you about one to two weeks each, depending on how much you put on, so it's a great deal. If you like one of them but you're not willing to buy the big bottle? No problem! Most of the popular BBcreams they offer also have a traveling size, which is perfect if you want something bigger than the sample, but cheaper than the full sized bottle.

Not only do they offer BBcreams, but also many skincare and makeup products. I will start doing reviews of their products soon, so stay tuned for those.

As for the prices, I was very pleased with those, too. Of course, you could go for Ebay and pay even less, but I personally don't like the risks that come with Ebay and also the shipping tends to take forever. BBcream shop is fast, cheap and friendly. I really recommend them to all of you in Europe who are looking for a good and trustworthy place to order Korean cosmetics.

Love,

May

Pearl cat-ear headband DIY

Okay, so maybe I'm a bit late with this trend, but still I think it's cute enough to make a post for it even though it's been around for a while now. Maybe you've seen this before... Maybe not. The animal-eared headbands, and the cat ones in particular!

I think it looks really cute and I'm really happy to see both kpop idols as well as western pop singers sharing a trend! I got a pair of adorable pearl-bear ears, but I really wanted a pair of cat ears as well. But because I couldn't find it where I live, and I'm not patient enough to wait for it to arrive when I buy it online, I decided to make some myself! And it's actually really really easy!

Here's what you'll be needing to make your own pair of cute cat ears!

A plain headband

Some pearl-beads

Wire that's strong enough to hold the beads and thin enough to fit through them

Strong glue

Pliers (One to cut, one to bend and one to pinch!) 

Step one. You're going to cut off some wire. Don't take too little, you can always take some off again if you're not satisfied. Then, take another section that's about the same length as the first one.

Step two. Using a round edged plier, bend the middle of your pieces of wire to create a corner. You can make this as sharp as you want to depending on what you think looks the best. Then, bend the left and the right side of the corner you made to create the triangle shapes of the cat-ears.

Step three. Use the pearl beads, or any decoration you want to use to cover up the wire. Some cat ear headbands only have a couple of pearls, but I decided to cover the entire ear's outline in pearls and since I used beads, it was very easy. However, if you don't want to use as many pearls, you can just use some glue to stick the decorations to the ears.

Step four. Secure the ears onto the headband. I tried using some wire to tie them on there first, but that didn't work out for me because I'm not strong enough to pinch the wire tightly enough to keep them in place. Instead I used some ribbon, glued it to the headband and then tied it around the wire to keep the ears in place. If you're using this method, make sure to wrap it tightly, otherwise your ears are going to flap forward when you wear them.

And there you go! Your very own home-made cat ear headband! Please feel free to leave a comment or a request right here, or on my Facebook page! Also I'd love to see your creations, so don't be shy and send me a picture if you decide to make one of your own~  Thanks for stopping by at my blog!
