CoffeeBlush

How many ways can you use a pencil liner? Normally, you only use them to line your eyes, right? Etude House has managed to release their Play 101 Pencils that are designed for multi-use! Depending on the color, you can use them for eyeliner, eyeshadow, lip liner, blush, highlighter or concealer. The colors are ample and as always, so gorgeous, but how well do they last?

Ingredients:

(2) lb of Ox Tails

(1) Onion

(4) Carrots

(1/2) of a Radish

(2) Cloves of Garlic

(1) Inch of Ginger, sliced

(1/2) Cup of Ketchup (you can add more/less if you like)

(1/2) Cup of Soy Sauce

(1) Tablespoon of Brown Sugar

(1) Tablespoon of Olive Oil

(1/4) Cup of Sake

Original recipe here

Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add Ox Tails and wait until water returns to a boil. Then rinse the ox tails in cold water and put aside.

Cargo Blush Haul

This post has been long due. I purchased these a while back during a 40% off sale on ideel.com. These pictures were taken when I first received them, but I completely forgot to post them up! So here it is now~ 

Here is what the packaging looks like when you take it out of the box. I love the aluminum packaging. It makes it look really high end. :)

I decided to do a test on the staying power of the blushes. The below is the result after I ran a tissue over it 3 times. As shown, the colors come off quite easily so you may have to touch up once throughout the day, but I like my blushes to fade off throughout the day. It also works in my favor because I tend to have a heavier hand when applying makeup.. so I can easily wipe some off to lighten up the color if I mess up. It also makes blending the blush very easy.
