/Skin/ Holika Holika Aloe 99% Soothing Gel


this was purchased by me

Since my skin has been super dry lately, I decided to add this to my routine. Aloe is known to have soothing and healing properties so I researched which aloe gels in Korea were formulated without alcohol (skin irritant). It was either this or the aloe gel from Etude House. I picked Holika Holika because it was cheaper and it came with a free gift ^^

/Make-Up/ Tony Moly BCDation+


this was purchased by me.

I go this foundation a few months ago because I needed a base that would be hydrating for my face. After browsing around Gmarket, I happened to find this on sale. The description was everything I was looking for.

/People/ Winona Ryder

I haven't been feeling well this week so there won't be a review...I don't know why I'm ill, but I feel it's a combination of things at the moment.
Instead, here is a feature on one of my favorite actresses: Winona Ryder.

I think the first time I was her were in the Beetlejuice and Edward Scissorhands movies.

She was different from the other actress at the time, very gamine and wide-eyed with dark hair. She has an interesting intonation when she speaks that's on the cusp of being exasperated and elated. Winona makes the best expressions in her work that bring the extra to a movie and I still think she has one of the cutest faces ever. Winona also has a super relatable presence about her, in real life and on screen. In any movie she's in, I want to be her friend. Even more so after watching Reality Bites for the first time. Never have I watched such a poignant film about being an adult at essentially the same point in my life (albeit, I am not white). Winona does cherry chapstick lips perfectly in this.

Although she was out of the public eye for a long time and doing questionable things, Winona has steadily been making a comeback in films and TV shows (Stranger Things was pretty much amazing). To top it off, she still looks great even though she's in her 40s now.
