Review: 310 Thousand Pore Brush Review

I hope all is well and you guys have a nice weekend . As for me I had a decent weekend I guess... I went with my brother last night and watch "Escape Plan", it was an interesting and I haven't seen Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone in a movie for sometime and was hoping for a nice action kinda like Arnold in that movie "The Last Stand" but it wasn't what I expected. Not a bad movie though... A decent one I guess?? Anyway it was an interesting movie to watch... So... Continue onto the review shall we??

Today's review is about a Pore Brush that I bought some months ago and have been quite religiously using it ever since. Why I bought that? Well to tell you the truth I never pay attention on my pore condition before and always thought that my pore size are quite normal. Well.. How would I know right? I never measure it before much less compare it with other people . But then again people with my skin type does tends to have a bigger pore.

So I saw this video on youtube about facial cleansing for oily skin type and this beauty expert (I think she's a make-up artist or something) said that it's better to cleanse oily skin with a pore brush because it can cleanse deep into the pore and prevents blackhead, clogged pore, acne etc etc. I then try to buy a facial brush from The Body Shop but I hate it!!! The brush was too harsh for my skin. After that I try to google another brush but it was so darn expensive!! Then..... I saw JcLiani's blog post about a pore brush that she bought from qoo10 and that's it!! It was perfect because the brush wasn't that expensive and since it's my first time using it I don't wanna splurge on my limited moolah too.

This is what mine's look like. I bought the 310 Thousand Pore Brush while Jc bought the Slim Pore Brush, well I actually bought the 310 Thousand and the Slim Pore Brush too he he he . The brush came in a hard plastic box but I already throw it away.

Crochet: Instagram Inspired Pouch

I'm gonna show another crochet pouch that I made and it's an Instagram inspired pouch. I actually made a similar one before earlier this year but that one was made in continuous round (blog post here) while this one is made with several rectangle shape single crochet round join together.

I actually made it like this because I saw someone posting a small Instagram picture with a similar design. Instead of making the rainbow square on the left side she incorporated the rainbow in the purse itself.

Review: Viva Cream Eye Shadow

Hari ini sedang cukup produktif jadi nambah satu post lagi deh... Berhubung stok eye shadow ada macam-macam dan semuanya masih menunggu untuk di review kali ini aku cicil satu lagi deh... Awalnya beli ini gara-gara keracunan ses Arum, waktu itu dia beli macem-macem warna dan ternyata sekarang udah dipreloved semua pulakkk...  

Tadinya cuma kepingin beli satu warna tapi lama-lama nambah dan nambah lagi he he he... Ada total 14 warna dari Viva Cream Eye Shadow ini yaitu Biru, Coklat, Coklat Tua, Hijau, Ungu, Ungu Tua, Silver, Gold, Putih, Merah, Hitam, Peach, Orange dan Tembaga.

Kemasan:

Eye Shadow dari Viva ini dijual dalam bentuk kemasan satuan berbentuk bulat dan terbuat dari plastik. Tutupnya transparan jadi gampang lah kalau mau liat warnanya tanpa perlu buka-buka kemasan. Tapi sayangnya kemasannya rapuh banget dan ada beberapa yang tidak bisa menutup dengan kencang dan ada juga yang malah susah dibuka. Pernah aku bawa salah satu warna (lupa yang mana) untuk travelling dan tutupnya kebuka di dalam pouch, walhasil nempel kemana-mana deh si eye shadow ini dan pernah juga aku kesulitan membuka kemasan dan waktu kebuka kukuku (errr kukuku?? ) nyungsep ke dalam eye shadow dan jadinya sekarang si eye shadow bentuknya gag rapi rata gitu. Jadi sekarang kalau mau dibawa pergi suka aku karetin atau selotip.

Tekstur:
Tekstur Viva Cream Eye Shadow tidak creamy sesuai dengan namanya malah cenderung keras dan kering. Awalnya kupikir bakal seperti tekstur NYX Cream Blush atau Maybelline Color Tattoo gitu tapi ternyata jauh lebih keras dan kering. Tapi tenang aja dicolek dikit udah keluar kok warnyanya (dicolek? sabunn kaliii!! )

J-Drama: Akuryo Byoto

I thought I'm gonna liven up my blog more with another different posting and from now I'm gonna post more about any movie, anime, drama or TV series that I've watched and share my thoughts about it. It's still morning but my first drama rambling is a Japanese Drama called Akuryo Byoto and yess from the title you can guess that it's a horror one... I rarely seen a horror genre in a J-Drama series so I was somewhat curious about this one. The last horror drama series that I've watched before is a 2004 Prayer Beads and it was quite good too.

Title: Demon Ward (literal title)

Romaji: Akuryo Byoto

Genre: Horror
Episodes: 10

Plot:

The Kumagawa Hospital which is located in the outskirts of town. Ogami Runa joined as a nursing staff 2 weeks ago, working with the strict head nurse Kido Junko and trainee doctor Kumakawa Asahi. One night after the lights are switched off, her fellow colleague, Suzuki Ayako is terrified out of her wits when a woman dressed in a school uniform (sailor) with blood dripping all over her, appears before her.

A few days later, Runa's childhood friend, Sakai Manami who works at a movie production company, calls her out for a meet-up. Ever since she was a child Runa had the ability to sense the paranormal and when she was in junior high school, she saw the bloodied ghost of a classmate who died in an accident while commuting to school. Her classmates were spooked out by her and she was bullied by her other classmates, Manami is the only one who had befriended her.

After that event, nurses and patients constantly talk about seeing ghosts. Asahi asks his father, the hospital director, about the secret room on the top floor of the old hospital ward which he has been wondering about since he was a child but … … One night, Runa goes to the old hospital wing to fetch some supplies, and she hears a voice calling out her name "Runa....". Entranced, Runa follows the sound and goes up to the top floor. She hears the voice coming from inside a wall at the end of the hallway on the top floor. When she is at a loss in front of the wall, a door suddenly appears in front of her … … Runa gets caught up in terrifying events, and lands in hot water when she is suspected of being the cause of the misfortune that has befallen the hospital.

Cast:

Kaho as Ogami Runa
I mostly remember her from 4 Shimai Tantei Dan and Otomen (one of my favorite Rom-Com Drama!!) and also remembers her as a cheerful and bumbling character. In this drama she plays as a nurse who has a paranormal  ability and just moved to the eerie Kumagawa Hospital, her character is a bit gloomy and somewhat reminds me of Sadako .

Owada Kensuke as Kumagawa Asahi
I only seen him once in a drama called Tenshi wa Mop wo Motte so I didn't have a lot of impression on this guy. In this drama he plays as a trainee doctor at Kumagawa Hospital who is always caring and gentle to Ogami Runa who keeps making blunders after her move to Kumagawa Hospital and slowly attracted to her .

Suzuki Kazuma as Madarame Kazuya
I only remember him as "the guy with white hair" on Liar Game #LOL and sorta remembers him in Kagi no Kakatta Heya but I think there are a lot more since he's quite a senior actor. His face is quite antagonistic doncha think?? He play a lot of bad guys if I'm not mistaken... In Akuryo Byoto he plays as the director of a a small programme production company who aims to create a feature on Kumagawa Hospital’s apparitions.

Takada Riho as Sakai Manami
I think she was a model or something cos I never seen her before. In this drama she play as Ogami Runa’s good friend since junior high school days who works as Madarame Kazuya’s assistant director. She receives Madarame’s instructions, and asks Runa to let them interview the hospital.

Kawakami Julia as Suzuki Ayaka
I also didn't know her, I think she's an Idol Singer or something. She also plays as the new nurse at Kumagawa Hospital and become somewhat of an idol to the patients because of her cheerful personality and cute looks.

Moriwaki Eriko as Kido Junko
From her looks I think she's quite a senior but I don't really remember her on any drama. In Akuryo Byoto she plays as Kumagawa Hospital’s competent head nurse. She expresses her disapproval and warns the nurses who feel shaken because of the high frequency of first-hand account of ghosts in the hospital.

Haruta Junichi as Kumakawa Keita
His face is very familiar but I don't remember which drama or movie I've seen him in. He plays as Kumagawa Hospital’s director who seems to know the cause of the apparitions in the hospital but hides it.

Shimada Kyusaku as Ogami Tatsuo
I've seen this guy a lot in a drama and movie. But his last act that I remember is where he plays as a gentle father of Chiaki Kuriyama in ATARU. In this drama he also plays as Ogami Runa’s father who says that Runa's paranormal ability is only a mental illness. He's close to Runa and gently watches over her.

My Thoughts:

I'm interested in this drama because as I mentioned before, I rarely seen horror genre in a series before. I've seen it in Drama Special, TV Movie or Japanese Movie but I rarely seen it in a drama. I've always has a fascination with the horror genre and sometimes my friends think I'm weird because I've seem to like this particular genre a lot more than others... IDK I just like it... Whether it's a ghost, thriller, splatter, slasher or psychological I like em all... I particularly like the somewhat weird B-Type horror movie though like Grindhouse, The Fly and The Evil Dead Trilogy.

Not only because it's horror, I'm interested because Kaho was in it. She usually plays as the kawaii and genki type so it was interested in looking how dark and gloomy she is in this drama . Well.... That and any horror with a hospital in it is a definite cause for a good scare right?? As for the ghost that appear in this drama, they are mostly the J-Horror staple type such as long haired woman in white to dead bloody schoolgirl in sailor suit.

Most of the episode in this drama are told as a flashback which is quite interesting. I watch it with somewhat confusion at first and then.... Ahhhhh so that's what it was... All of the episode gets connected and ultimately comes in a full conclusion which is also quite rare in J-Horror. But...... after the half episode towards the end it gets somewhat weird because from the Yurei and Obake it sorta turns into a combination of Zombie Apocalypse and a Blair Witch Project . So I was like... what the......But even tough it gets somewhat weird toward the end I still find this drama enjoyable. A nice theme change because lately I don't find any enjoyable J-Drama. Not that it's not good.. But I wanna watch a nice drama where I can drools over the cast like Hana Kimi ~ Ikemen Paradise. Ahhh.... How I miss that kinda drama... I remember the time when I was fangirling over it .

For those of you who want a change of pace and decent scare you might light this drama and interesting enough though I only find the mood to watch this drama at night to which my friend give me another weird look. Why?? Because I currently living by myself #LOL


Some spoilers of the ghost....

I also really really like this drama soundtrack!!! The song is called Greed Greed Greed by Acid Black Cherry!! The lyrics is somewhat explicit but it's Rockin!! Acid Black Cherry or shortened as A.B.C is a Visual Kei Band and is the solo project of Japanese musician, Yasu, formed in 2007 after his previous band Janne Da Arc announced an indefinite hiatus. For this project, YASU has teamed up with SHUSE (ex-La’cryma Christi) on bass, guitarists YUKI (ex-/\ucifer), Akihide (BREAKERZ) and Chisato (PENICILLIN) and Jun-ji (ex-SIAM SHADE) on drums. SUGIZO (ex-LUNA SEA) and DAITA (ex-SIAM SHADE) have also participated in recording a few tracks for the project. I know K-Pop is in sty;e right now but somehow I don't find myself into it.. I still find myself falling in love with the good V-Kei and J-Rock Band...  Oh... and not to mention this is what their latest single cover looks like!!!!
 

 KYAAAA!!! Talk about nosebleed....

Here's the MV preview cos I can't find their MV on Youtube but you can see it at JPopAsia. GOD.... Yasu is soo hawt... #fangirlingmodeon #nosebleed
