Park Shin Hye "Heart Strings" Fashion Style

Hey yall!! I decided to start watching Heartstrings, mostly 'cause I'm waiting for City Hunter and band camp hasn't started yet...but that's besides the point =P

Heartstrings is turning out better than my expectations. It's not deadly-drama-addicting;however, it's nice to kill an hour here and there with.(imo) (and, Park Shin Hye is one of my favorite actresses, + Jung Yonghwa's singing is very good quality)

And there's something distinct about Gyu Wons fashion sense, I'd say. There's 3 main style ideas I've noticed:
1.Long,flowy skirt with an equally flowy/loose/comfortable shirt

Ex.

2. Blouse tucked into mid-thigh waist skirt

3. "Overall" style. She's worn actual overalls and also something like a spaghetti strap over a t-shrit.

Ex.

(Sorry about bad quality images, it's so hard to get any good screen caps >.< )

And her bags I'd say are a big part/key point of her outfits. (Soompi has a post on 2 of her backpacks here: http://www.soompi.com/news/fashion-closet-park-shin-hyes-cute-backpacks-from-heartstrings ). The colors coordinate well with her outfits all the time, so jellyy

In a few words, it's a comfortable style with complimenting, and-ties-it-all-together bags and shoes. Personally, I'm not a huge fan of some of her skirts;however, it works haha

Also, Happy Birthday Mom!!! I<3you!!

Btw, nice drama^^ Not as emotionally pulling/intense as some are, but it's nice

Kim Nana City Hunter Makeup

*Bad lighting, and I look so young T-T Well, I am young but I shouldn't have that big a baby face.

**Note, I realize I'm not asian, and Park Min Young/Kim Nana is. I appreciate the culture and the style, and wanted to try to see how she achieved her makeup(which is actually pretty common(natural makeup), but of course with little tweaks here and there.).
Is anyone else on the City Hunter wagon? I don't even care this time about hopping onto the popular drama band wagon, it's so good!!(And Lee MinHo!!!<3)

Here's how I'd do the makeup if I was Kim Nana:

1. Her skin is very milky and smooth. I used my BB cream, others may want foundation/concealer,etc.

Just "perfect" your skin.
2.Groom eyebrows.

Hers aren't filled in really, but feel free too. You can't really tell if it's the cameras doing or if they didn't fill hers in, but hers don't appear too heavy. However, they are more straight (vs. arched) which gives her young-looking face an even younger appearence. They're also thicker, and you can probably get away with using just a gel on them if yours are naturally shaped like hers. Otherwise, make them straighter, (lightly!) thicker, and gel them.

3. Waterlines

Use a dark brown eyeshadow on your lower and upper waterlines (not a whole ton!!).

Brown pencil would work too.

4.Brown liquid liner.

Starting from the outer third of your eyelid, make a thin line extending a little bit past your eye.

5.Eyelashes

Naturally, my eyelashes are thick, so I curled them and used a clear gel since hers aren't huge and dramatic. However, if they're sparse/thin/verylight, then go ahead and use your mascara
6.CheeksUse a very light peachy color^-^

7.LipsExcept for when she got shot in the shoulder, her lips are a healthy red/pink. A lip stain would be recommended here! I have a covergirl one I use, but I think it's too dark so I put a little bb cream and mixed it onto my lips and it worked.

Tada!! The purpose of an inspired look is to take the look and make it so you would wear it. Imo. You're not trying to look exactly like the original.

Skin and Hair

My skin has been sooo nice lately (save for the Summer freckles >.>) and my hair is finally growing out the layers from last May (the shortest were around my ear while longest were a little past my collar bone)

And I'd say there's some main causes to this(:

1. Excercise. Legit, when I started Insanity my hair was growing a little more. I stopped for about a month, went to the beach, and started excercising again (with Insanity) and there's a definite change in my hair length.

Besides building muscle and making a healthier you, when I excercise in the morning my skin is very soft,supple,even for most of the day because the steam/sweat cleaned all the pores. and it's only 6/7 days a week ;D

There are things floating around that tell you to stand on your stand for 30 seconds a day, etc. etc, and with Insanity that's all incorporated into atleast the stretching. Yall should check it out (=

2. Water. Lol sorry if you're tired of hearing about this now, but really if you drink your (atleast) 8 glasses of water a day and use this as a cleanser in the morning, you're set.

3. Ponds Cold Cream. This stuff is amazing! haha I only use at night when I wore makeup that day, because it removes the makeup like no ones business.!

4. Not a ton of chemicals. While going totally chemical free would be ideal, makeup is fun to wear and frankly I think my water is treated with too much to really be effective for the Caveman Method. To use as little as possible would be the next ideal.

Morning: Water (cleanser), BB Cream/Suncreen
Night: Ponds Cold Cream, Homemade exfoliater or St. Ives Green Tea, Lemon or chilled Green Tea as toner, and Olive Oil as moisturizer(I don't really use O.Oil when I use Ponds, it's moisturizing enough).

5. Eating healthy really does wonders, and hair growth/good skin has just come naturally with it.

6.(Opt.) A good hair mask never hurt, and I really like Organix Coconut Milk. It smells so good, is sulfate/formaldahyde free and make my hair really soft!

7. As little altering to it's natural state as possible. Could probably be said simpler but iono how haha. Basically, use as little heat and supplies as possible. While hair masks can be a good thing (and face masks) bad quality or toxic ones (obv) can really be counterproductive/buildup stuff on your scalp. Which isn't what you want =\ Your body is made to be self-sustainable, and while pollution and cultural diet can mess that up, it's still mainly self sustainable. This can include shampooing/conditiong as little as possible as well. The longer the better, though I generally shampoo 5x a week still.

Some people have tons of beauty supplies lined up, but I really just need maybe a box and I'm set. ^-^ And I plan on getting deFabulous Ginger Shampoo and Conditioner, as well as ordering from dressky.com soon. Once I reach a certain goal with my weight, I "reward" myself with these so it's the world's delicious food that's stoppping me haha

Whiter Teeth! And sea salt?

Hey yall(=

My teeth naturally came in....yellowish =\ After a recent dentist trip, they recommended I use Crest whitening strips because they really do work. Being the cheap family, we went out and bought the Target version "Up&Up advanced whitening strips" haha

(^^^Look like this but in a white box.)
Review: 4/5

Pros: Good price (15$ for 7 top&bottom trays), whitened, good size, conformed to teeth (most of the time), does what it says it will do!, and a few weeks later, while the brighteness faded a little bit, they're still white

Cons: Sometimes would slide around, and can be a little uncomfortable. Can sting gum if not applied properly (it doesn't hurt but it's not comfortable really either)

Recommended b(^-^)d

And!

For the Fourth, I was at the beach (spent a week there) and after being in the ocean, my skin was really nice. I noticed my pores were smaller and clearer on my nose.
Might be adding Sea Salt to my cleansing regimen ;D

Be happy, healthy, and safe!(=

Hana Yori Dango 1,2,Special,Final (Spoilage!)

I was weary to watch it at first cause if you've ever heard of dramas before, there's no doubt you've heard of it. I was way to quick to judge though, it's amazingg!! The Special wasn't loading so I watched the Movie first, even though it's supposed to be 1,2,Special,Movie.

Category: Comedical Romance. Romance being the noun and comical being an adjective.
Rating:9/10

It has good acting, romance, some comedy, eye candy, good plot and something captivating about it. However, it's unrealistic in some aspects and slow at times. Both work with the drama, as it's based off the drama and can add suspense, overall very well done!

Time: Less than a week. It's addicting!!

Not at the "You're Beautiful" level, but very close to.

MAIN plot of Seasons:

Makino, a poor "commoner", and Domyouji, heir to one of biggest corporation in Japan and leader of F4, fall in love and go through MANY, living-up-to-the-drama-categorization moments that test this true bond.

Movie:

Wow. I'm really gonna miss this series, they all grew up. It's like a girls dream at the end. After hardships, they truly do love each other and have a happy ever after. HOWEVER, not with the "stereotypical" man. He just had to mature =P Ahhhh it was so sweetttt<3 It's not about being perfect, it was about true love and accepting each other<3

Special:

It's really just a nice recap of the seasons, and the last 10/15 minutes is Domyouji performing with Arashi and the "F4" and Makino joining them on stage and reflecting on the premeire of the movie, which was the day after the Special. It's a great idea cause now after 6 months or whenever you wanna rewatch the series, if you don't have time to you can watch this and the movie and really feel it all over again, Of course it's not EVERYTHING, but it's a nice recap^-^ I've also fallen in love with Matsumoto Jun lol, and Arashi. I had liked them before, but now he might be challenging Taecyeon(2pm), Jang Geun Suk, and Matsudo Shota =P

It's not overrated like I had thought, it has a lot of my favorite actors (Matsudo Shota - Soujiroh of F4. Toda Erika made an appearence. Oguri Shun - Rui of F4 and the guy left out of main girls love triangle. Matsumoto Jun(Arashi) - Domyouji, leader of F4 and guy who ends up marrying main girl) and introduced me to very good new ones (Inoue Mao - Makino, main character) and the person who played Yuki. For some reason, I couldn't get myself to like the actor who played Akira.

I'd reccomend this ^-^ Be warned, there are times when you'll want to throw away your moniter because Makino or Domyouji don't communicate haha. Or if you become a RuixMakino fan, then that'd stink too. Lol really, just go watch it

Watch it!! It's so sweet, and the actors do a great job of "growing up".
