Wow I'm on a roll this week!
I have news! On a whim I decided to browse around Amazon and guess what I found? YES! Dr. Jart & Missha's BB cream can now be found on Amazon. And even better is that it qualifies for 2 day free shipping if you have Amazon Prime ^^! Of course they only have the two basic colors (Missha 23 and 21), but if one of these is for you then here's another source! You don't have to rip out your hair trying to find it anymore~ whoooo~. Right now they're selling for $17.50- the price fluctuates though.
Happy shopping!
EDIT: I also see a Skin 79 Diamond bb too!

Volatile Parents
So today I got yelled at by a parent wooo. Kind of feel like it's some sort of school initiation or something.
As I was gathering up a small class, the parent of one of the students (works in the school) approached me and demanded to know why I was pulling their child out of class. I politely informed them that we were holding a quick class (help students to know what to do when symptoms of a specific health issue that they have arise), and that seemed to quell their growing indignation. At the end of the class we had the children take off their shoes so we could weigh/ measure them. It got a bit messy with all these children not caring and rolling around on the floor -__-. Since there wasn't a lot of space in our office, I instructed them to hurry and put on their shoes and return to their seats at the table outside. I should note here that I DID NOT tell the students to take their shoes to the table to put back on even though I considered it. It would be easier for them to put their shoes back on if they were sitting, but at the same time you know I don't like to walk around without shoes on the dirty floor. So I allowed the children to put their shoes back on in the smaller office before returning to the table outside.
They took a while to put their shoes back on and weren't as quick to return to the table as I'd like so well, what can you do. I noticed at one point though that the child of the aforementioned parent did go out and return to their seat at the table, and thought, "wow, what a good child". Later, it was deemed ok for the children to return to class once they had been weighed, so I instructed them that once they had gathered all their materials that they could return to class. By then another child had joined the first one at the table and they were getting quite rowdy. In the end they both ran out of the office and left their materials -___-.
Not long after I finished and cleared all the children out of the office, I was stopped in the hallways by the parent above- child in tow. They were not very happy. Parent asked if we had taken off child's shoes to weigh, I responded that we had. Parent angrily demanded to know why we had not bothered to help child put shoes back on. It was here that I remembered child had asked me to help them undo their laces, but I had thought that they were having trouble because it was double knotted (Even I had a bit of trouble getting them loose). I quickly apologized and informed parent that I didn't realize child needed help (child didn't say anything to me, and since they had sat at the table I had assumed they had their shoes on already), then I offered to assist right then and there and motioned to bend down. Parent declined with attitude and notified me that child would not be attending anymore classes or whatever. I said ok. Then when I attempted to give them the child's booklet they replied that child would not be needing that. Well I wonder if that would still be their response if the child had a more debilitating health issue =/.
On my way back, heard parent in another person's office unhappily complaining that they didn't know how in the world the nurse's office was operating, and that the bottom of child's socks were dirty. I understand how that is a problem (it's actually really hard to get such dirty socks really clean), but what I want to know is: WHY ON EARTH WOULD YOU PUT SUCH COMPLICATED SHOES ON SUCH A YOUNG CHILD?! If I remember right, they were boots. That's not even good for your child's developing feet! First of all, your child should know how to tie laces by 1st grade, if not kindergarten, and if they don't then you need to take a hint from other parents and get them velcro shoes! I learned how to tie shoes when I turned 4 so it's absolutely no excuse. Second, I don't understand why you haven't taught your child to ask for help when they need it. They asked for help in undoing the laces, so why not when putting the shoes back on? Parents are sometimes too quick to blame others. The child was at the time in our care, so for failing to notice I did apologize, but you need to also teach your child how to do better in such situations. That's partially what's wrong with our society today- people are too quick to lay blame somewhere else. This child grows up seeing this kind of example from you and never realizes how to better themselves. TEACH YOUR KID HOW TO TIE LACES AND ASK FOR HELP WHEN NEEDED (and not run off).
So I didn't even feel a milligram bad. I acknowledge that I can improve and will be more cautious next time, but it was an honest mistake and I was not all- or even mostly at fault. So I did a pshhhhhh, and flicked it away. Well I just write it here because it's drama and people love drama. But otherwise I shook it off like raindrops on my coat, psha pshaaa~
And to my readers: some of you may be these volatile parents. I just want you to take a look at it from another point of view. If it's a first offense and an honest mistake (and not something like dropping your baby on its head) then I think yelling at someone is not the best way to go. You can of course caution the teacher- honestly yelling at people doesn't motivate them, rather it does the opposite for me. AND PLEASE teach your child to ask for help.
I remember how when I was little my classmate's parents would be calling for this or that, and I never really understood why- nothing ever happened that was a big deal. Also, there is absolutely no reason to freak out when children get bumps, bruises, or little cuts. This is life, shit happens. They're not going to die. The teacher cannot keep their eyes on 20 different little kids and do things at the same time. They try their best, but a child can get slapped in a split second. It's what the teacher does about it after that matters. Punishing the offending child, and giving the victim child care. If necessary, separate the children. There's no need to make a big deal after. What happens, happens. The only thing that warrants extra action is if a child is getting constantly bullied, or their head gets smacked against something.
Speaking of bullying. In elementary school, there was a girl in my class who reeked. You could smell her 5 feet away so none of us really wanted to play with her. We didn't have a problem with the girl's personality or anything. One day the teacher came up to my group of people and told me that she was very disappointed in me (which was like a slap to the heart) for not playing with the other girl. But honestly, if someone smells that bad, it's difficult to play with them for long periods of time. Forcing young children to do so seems like you are punishing them for something. For the rest of the 30 minutes we had to get semi close... then run far away to breath... then come back in. It was puzzling because we did try to find out what the problem was. Perhaps it was her hair? no. Clothes? No. We just couldn't understand. Her mom bathed her daily and her hair was washed as well.
Don't be mistaken, we had nothing against her. One day she came in smelling just fine, and that confused us until we realized it. Then we whole heartedly complimented her saying "You smell really good today!" And we continued to compliment her as long as she smelled ok. When she stank though, we had to admit it as well.
Many people are quick to judge and say how bad we were, bullying that little child. But I ask you to first look at yourself. Even now, as adults, if there was someone who stank from 5 feet away we still would not want to interact with that person. Only now it would reflect poorly on that person, so now people try to correct the problem themselves if possible.
I decided to reward my hard day of work with DCC frap. Picked up a chicken salad sandwich from starbucks as well. Frap was too much ice, tasted watery- not enough milk/ choco flavor, but we knew this already. The sandwich was pleasant in that the bread was actually not dry (another sandwich place has dry bread =/. The chicken salad was interesting with craisins! The only thing is it has 1000mg of sodium -___-.
Skinfood Salmon Concealer #2
I found it! Hahaha. Quick review/ swatch on the Skinfood Salmon Concealer. THIS STUFF IS MAGIC! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Back to the story. So after I had gotten my BB cream from the Skinfood salesperson, I decided to go after the salmon concealer. Only... I didn't know how to say it. So I told her I wanted the stuff for under your eyes. She asked me if it was eye cream, and I said no. Then she asked if it's the stuff to cover up under the eyes, and demonstrated the product. As soon as I saw it I knew that was it. The only concern I had at the time is that when she was putting it on her skin it looked really orange. This is when my mom decides to butt in. Even after I had just told the lady this is what I want, mom kept arguing and was like: No, she wants the eye cream. NO! I didn't want the eye cream because they hardly work, and if they do work they don't work fast enough- we're better off using hemorrhoid cream. So then she continues hindering me getting this product and long story short it was this long embarrassing mess.
Since I was concerned about the color, I asked the sales person about it (since there is a lighter colored version) but she assured me that this was the color I wanted.
My embarrassment didn't end. The whole time my brother was whining, and at the checkout when they were giving me samples he complains "how come I don't get any". Really? Really?? REALLY? Can someone just give me a bag so I can cover my face out of shame?! I can't believe my mom didn't even say anything- NOTHING to correct his childish behavior. I should note that he's 20 and DEFINITELY old enough to know better. The sales people were very gracious and hurried to provide a couple samples for him. There are really just no words.
Back to the product. I got home and tried it out. Wow! As soon as I dabbed it on, it was like photoshopping away my circles! Appeared to be the EXACT same color as my skin. Upon closer inspection, it is a tidge more orange so I think this is definitely going to still work on those of you with warmer skin tones (remember I'm more neutral). For those who are clearly more yellow, and paler, you may want to look into the other color. Remember what I said in the BB cream post about how it's best to find a sales associate if you can. I know, it's annoying, but really it's worth it. It's hard to judge which color is best. I have pretty bad circles so the salmon color really helps.
Texture is not too dry/oily. Didn't flake on me after a whole day's use. Best part is that you only need a little dab if you can see- I didn't use that much. I considered getting a backup right away, but then thought this would last a while and better to get a fresh product.
The product has a hint of shimmer- probably light dispersion to help with the illusion to make circles go away, but it's not very noticeable. To take extra precautions, I would just take your application finger (shouldn't have much product left on it) and continue rubbing under the eye all the way onto the cheek. Just in case the light hits it funny.
I don't use this when I step into work though because I'm trying to seem older (baby face ahhh), hahaha. I use it when... there is someone to impress ^^;; (don't want to look like an old hag right?)
Picture
For some reason, the flash makes my circles look not as bad as they are. It's easier to see the change in the non flash pictures. Some darkness after application, but I think a lot of that is just the light/shadows working on my undereye bags in the photo. CLICK TO ENLARGE.

Review: Skinfood Aloe Sun BB Cream- #2 + New Shoes + How Can I Get Rid of Freckles??
FINALLY! Am I right? haha. Today I have a BB Cream by Skinfood to show you. It's the Aloe Sun BB cream in #2 Natural Beige or something- spf 20 PA+. This is not a new bb cream and has been reviewed by many other people, some of you may even already have this product. But it's a first for me so I thought I'd give my 2 cents on the product.
Skinfood is a korean skin product brand that I've heard of for quite a few years now. I've been itching to try some of their bb creams but unfortunately there are none on Gmarket, and I don't know how to order from other places. I happened by one of their stores in Asia and thought I just had to pop in. I was greeted with "Annyunghaseyo!" (or however it's spelled). Immediately my heart dropped and I panicked as I tore through my brain trying to see if my limited korean from watching kdrama would suffice. Luckily they continued in the local language -__- (which I'm not that great in either- it never occurred to me previous that I really don't know cosmetic vocabulary *Gasp!*). But luckily they understood BB Cream *sigh of relief*. They then proceeded to ask me if my skin has any allergies or dryness. I was kind of zoning out and said "no". The salesperson looked at my skin and said "it's not dry...?" oops. I quickly corrected myself and told her that my skin is on the dry side (I guess it's very obvious). And the salespeople in asia are very polite so she quickly flattered me to the best of her ability saying that she can tell my skin is good otherwise because my cheeks are pink even without blush. (My guess is that she was thinking if I did apply blush that I applied it haphazardly, lol.)
I was weary letting this sales lady help me because it was obvious whatever she was wearing on her face was too light on her. I know people like to have lighter skin in asia, but you can really only go so far out of your natural color range before it becomes glaringly obvious that your foundation/ bb cream is not meant for you. Anyhow, then she asked me if I wanted a natural color or lighter. I said natural- just felt safer; even though I don't mind if it can take me lighter a bit. Then she asked me if I wanted thin coverage or thick coverage- I said thin, I have no idea why. Anybody can see that I need thick coverage. Maybe it's because I was feeling pressure from my family standing there as well. They were not happy to be in that store and didn't hold back on showing it. I was so completely embarrassed. I wish I had asked her what to get if I wanted thick coverage too.
So she pointed me to the Aloe Sun and said it was one of their best sellers. I also picked up their salmon concealer WHICH I LOVE YOU HAVE TO GET IT. I had planned to review that as well but can't find it, so next time. I'll tell you the rest of the story in that post as well so look forward to it.
NOW FOR THE ACTUAL PRODUCT REVIEW
Color
I wasn't sure if I should get the natural or lighter color so I just let the salesperson help me with that. If you can get access to a Skinfood store, I highly suggest having their opinion on things. These products are by no means cheap, so you don't want to have spent $20 and have the whole thing go to waste. She picked #2 Natural Beige for me. Another blogger has noted that the #2 of Skinfood colors tend to be more on the pink side, and #1 tends to have more of a yellow tinge. My suggestion is to go with color tones over the whole "light" or "dark" thing. If you have the wrong color on, it's going to be a lot more obvious than having a different lightness of color.
I did find the #2 to have a pinkish tone to it. The color actually matches really well with my skin. I have a neutral skin tone, but if you've read my lipstick reviews then you know it prefers cool tones over warm tones.
I didn't include a picture of just the bb cream because I feel it is not quite accurate. We all know that the great thing about bb creams is that they tend to blend in and adjust with your skin tone. With first application it looks like it won't be the right color, but when fully applied it turns out fine. Over time you can see that the finish becomes more and more natural (sorry! I didn't do a swatch on how it looks over time this time).
Oh! Almost forgot, I also like how this doesn't have a grayish cast to the bb cream. I understand that the gray is to help cancel out yellow and make your skin look more pale, but my skin is neutral in color, and the gray just makes me look gray (I look sickly or something)
Texture
If you remember way back, I had wanted a liquid bb cream because my skin seems to be getting dryer and with the addition of my Magic BB balm, it becomes super dry and flaky looking (yuck!). Well this one doesn't dry out my skin or make it oily at all! When I feel over the applied areas, it almost feels just like how the rest of my skin feels. Very light in texture.
Coverage
I would consider this maybe half coverage of my scars? You can see for yourself. Sorry about the one blurry picture. Imo, this is something when you want light coverage for everyday wear. For me I wear when I feel like I'm just going out to the grocery store- just enough to not scare people with my scars. And when I know there won't be pictures taken or anyone to impress ;D. I do find that it takes care of redness pretty well.
Picture
Sorry to scar your eyes like this, but I figured there are probably a lot of people who have it just as bad or worse that me and you need to see what will work and what won't. Seems like my skin is getting progressively worse =/. I also have not done any editing to the area of interest. I especially note this because I've seen some posts where people will say "I haven't edited this in any way. I've only adjusted the lighting of the picture." UHMMMM HELLO?! When you adjust the lighting of the picture that throws off the colors entirely. For those people I read what they have to say and have to ignore the pictures. They're no longer believeable. ENLARGE BY CLICKING.
EDIT: So I finally got around to taking a picture of the after. It's not an accurate comparison to the above since I might not have put on the exact same amount of bb cream, but I figured I'd post anyways. This is after 12 hours. You can see that it has worn away a bit, but it also has blended in further with my skin- doesn't even really look like I'm wearing anything. My skin is dry right now, so this bb cream is great because you can see that it doesn't even look very very dry.
FRECKLES!
And a segway into how to get rid of freckles. Well, I don't know how to get rid of them, but I was hoping one of you might! >.< Now I know many of you may say oh there's no need to get rid of them, freckles are beautiful on people. That may be true of my Caucasian friends, but for us orientals- well if you've ever seen a completely freckled oriental, it looks like some disease just took over the face. It's something about the brown freckles that come in splotches. I can say this because my mom is a living example (due to an unfortunate encounter with strong sun and no sunscreen one day).
While people praise the light skin that I've inherited from my mom's side, it also comes with an unfortunately easy to freckle tendency. Genetics, hah. less melanin distribution normally, but patches of melanin in unfortunate areas. Scabs usually fall off to reveal a new overpigmented mole. They're multiplying every day.
Soooo.... I would like to find something that can reduce their appearance. (You can see them in my swatch pic above). If you've tested a product and found it to work then let me know! I was going to say email me, but I think other readers could benefit from this information too. Oh, and preferably around $20 or less (I know, it's a tight budget). Up to $40 max please. I really have no money left.
AND SHOES!
Just sharing my latest Marshalls buy. Sofft shoes! Usually their styles I feel are more geared towards the mid aged/ older population, but they have a couple younger generation stuffs. I was debating between a 7.5 and 8, the 7.5 is my usual size and it was $10 cheaper than the 8 for some reason. But these i feel pinch slightly at the toes and recently i've been feeling like my feet swell at least half size by the end of the day. I took them both up to the cashier and luckily they adjusted the price of the 8s for me! They are a little long in the back, but the straps will keep them on my feet! ^^
I think I'll wear them to the new years celebration tonight!
Until next time my lovelies!

PG Mall Bags!
Hihi! Ok I said BB cream post but... this will not be it. It's so time consuming and well, I don't have enough yet. BUT I am due for one, so hopefully I can have one up within a week.
INSTEAD, I thought I'd share about a couple PGMall Bags I got in asia! You may remember, but I tried getting one from YesAsia before (the checkered one), but that didn't turn out the way I thought it would. And it costed me 3x the price. BUT in Asia, it's so much cheaper. I think these two were ~$6-10 apiece. They had some lottery thing where you can get up to ~$3 off, which would've helped a lot! I got to draw twice, so I had the potential to get one bag free. BUT... you know how my luck goes, and I ended up with the equivalent of maybe 30 cents on one ticket, and nothing on the other.
At the actual store, I got to feel out the bags and their quality. Although a lot of the bags are cute, they're made of material that won't last. I settled on a larger brown bag- in case i ever needed to transport something or stayover a night. There's an additional longer strap inside. And a gray bag. I think they're both very nice ^^. One thing that bothered me in the store is that the two times I was there... they kept playing this one song "Baby I'm your porn star, I'm your porn star, hahh haahh" I think it's Cargo's Pornstar. It's probably because no one else could understand the lyrics that they didn't mind. It was only awkward for me.

Also, recently, I've been not doing well in regards to my future. So if you could throw a few prayers my way they'd be much appreciated. Thank you!
