Drama Queen: The K2 ♥︎

The best way to get over a drama is to write about it. So here I am, writing about TvN’s latest bodyguard action drama, The K2.

Once again, as per all drama reviews, I can’t say how coherent the post will be as I’m trying to make sense of my thoughts as well. Thus, I usually take a break after watching a drama before writing the review, especially an impactful drama like The K2. People call this stage, the ‘drama hangover’. Although I took literally a few months to write this post!

Initially I wasn’t planning on watching this drama. Nothing seemed particularly interesting, neither was there any hype creating on it prior to it’s airing, unlike DOTS. As you’ll notice, I’ll be making a lot of references to DOTS as I do see quite a lot of similarities and also because the last drama that left such an impact was DOTS. I only started watching it after watching some of the cuts from episode 12 to 14. I decided to watch a little of episode 14 and the rest is history.

As of now, I’ve watched this drama maybe 2.5 times although I started from episode 14. I lived streamed episode 15 and 16 before starting from episode 1. I went through all the episodes before coming back to watch the key episodes again to get a better understanding of the plot. Those who’ve watched this drama would understand what I mean. Even though I’ve watched it back and forth a few times, there are certain scenes that I’ve just skipped due to the lengthy conversations.

It’s probably going to be a post with lots of words and my thoughts probably scattered everywhere too. Be warned.

Note: This post will contain spoilers so if you have not watched this drama, you may not want to continue reading.

Too Cool For School: Art Class By Rodin ♥︎

I'm back with another beauty post! A few months have passed (it takes me forever to complete writing a post zzz) and I haven't posted any beauty content yet. So let's get right to it! Leggo!

I have been loving these products and been using them recently. Who ever said art class was difficult?

Too Cool For School
Art Class By Rodin
Contour • Highlighter • Blush

For the longest time, this collection just had the contour but in the recent years they added on the highlighter and then the blush. I got the contour first in April 2016 before getting the highlighter and blush around October 2016. Been crazy about this collection ever since!

Thoughts

Saw this product being highly reviewed and talked about on various YouTube videos so decided to get the contour one for myself. After trying it, the rest is history! Got the highlight and the blush at the same time without much thought.

They aren't too pricey as well, costing around ₩15,000 to ₩17,000.

Each of these comes with 3 different shades. I normally swirl all three shades together and apply them. Except for the bronzer where I use the middle shade to contour the sides of my nose. 

Swatches of the 3 shades. Apologies for the out of focus photo 😝  I haven't used the highlight much but it does provide just enough of a glow when applied. Comparing the bronzer and the blush, they both have matte finishes, however, the blush definitely has more fallout as compared to the bronzer. So instead of swirling, I end up tapping to get product on my brush.

But the colour is amazing! It became my daily blush like instantly. It's a pastel peachy kind of shade which happens to suit my skin tone perfectly.

Verdict

I would definitely recommend the contour one. I can totally see why it's a best seller and everyone's hot favourite item. (Recently hit pan while I was in Korea. Headed out to get another one that day itself. Hehehe.) As for the blush and highlight, I would say it's up to personal preference. The blush may not suit everyone so you might want to test it out before purchasing. And for the highlight, it isn't as obvious or pigmented as one would hope for but it's just enough for me.
