Hairstyle Tutorial: Big Curls (Korean Hairstyle)



I follow a lot of Korean Hairstylists in IG and wished to have them cut my hair because I love their trending hairstyle. 

I studied haircutting and learned a few tricks on hairstyling during my younger years and when I was actively doing Bridal.  Equipped with that knowledge, I've decided to experiement my own hair with different hairstyles because I am a Beauty Blogger like that!

I recently got hooked with Korean hairstyles and my love for natural and soft waves remains --- I've decided to create this romantic hairstyle using my 10-year plus old Remington 1.5 inch Curling Iron.  


This was the result!

Pony Effect Pro Fit Liquid Concealer Review



I've loved PONY even way before she turned her channel to Pony Effect.  I've seen her in Korean Beauty Videos and liked her beauty ever since and how she manages to project on cam and teach makeup in a breeze!  

I am not surprised she rose up to a Youtube Star!  And even more having her own makeup line!  One of the few items I've loved from her brand is her super nice Contour Powder,  she nailed the super natural contour powder (considering I have tried gazillion!)

 So yes, I have high hopes with her concealer, I've used this for a long time before coming up with a decent review.  

I think you can sense that there's a bit of hesitation right?  Well, the only thing that is making me hesitate is probably the choice of shades!  BEIGE is usually PERFECT for me but this turned out to be a bit light for me!  I'd prefer to have a shade darker but overall, I'll give you a clue --- the formulation is THE BOMB!
