An update on my life / Please be patient with me!

Hiiiii y'alll!! First of all- I'm really, honestly, very sorry for my lack of quality updates lately. My life has just been changing a lot these past couple of weeks, so I don't have a set schedule and I'm quite busy most of the time. Secondly- I lost my SD card for my camera haha... woops. I need to buy one, possibly this weekend? But yea, it's impossible to do reviews without it ): So please be patient while I try and get my life sorted out! I love blogging and I appreciate your (collective) support so much, so please forgive me if it takes me some time to respond to comments or questions.

As for the details of whats going on in my life... it's a lot. I live in Norway now, and my classes have begun! My Norwegian has improved rapidly, but I still have a long way to go before I'm fully fluent. I'm also taking a course in Old Norse, so I get two Germanic languages for the price of one! I figure after I get fully fluent in Norwegian and get to a decent point in Old Norse, I can try to learn Japanese or Korean... maybe.

As many of you know, I was in a long distance relationship with my boyfriend for over 3 years. Now that we are finally together in the same city, I've been spending tons of time with him AND LOVING IT! But unfortunately that means my priorities have slightly shifted, so it's very easy to get distracted from what I used to occupy my time with (blogging, running, etc).

Anyway, here are a few pictures from a recent adventure, I hope this suffices for an update!

Baviphat Grape Juicy Mask Sheet

First of all- sorry for the poor quality of this review!! I lost the pictures for this review, so please excuse that ): As for the actual product, its better than previous Baviphat masks, but still nothing great compared to my favorites. I wouldn't repurchase this mask, but it was fine for maintaining moisture and reducing a little bit of redness.

Etude House Color POP Shine Tint (Swing Pop) Swatch & Review

 

I received this tint as a part of my Reddit beauty exchange, and I quite like it! It's not the best tint ever, but it's a unique color and moisturizes nicely, so I cannot really complain. I also want to apologize for the delay in posting, just been busy with moving and settling in! I'm still around though!!!

Laneige Perfect Renew Emulsion Review

My favorite out of the two Perfect Renew products I've tried- it's really just lovely. It has everything I need in an emulsion, and smells nice to boot!

Laneige Perfect Renew Essence Review

 

Since I'm already half way through this essence in a month, I thought that I should get this review done earlier rather than later. I like this essence, but don't love it. It's great for hydration and firming, but I'm just looking for different things for my skin right now.

By the way I'm moving to a different country in about 8 hours.  More after the jump.

Dr. G GOWOONSESANG Perfect Pore Cover BB Cream SPF30 PA++ Review

I figured that I should actually try out some of growing sample hoard- so here's the first of my sample reviews! I got this BB cream in my Reddit Beauty Exchange, so thanks to phlee921 again for sending me all the lovely Korean goodies! (:

What's going on in my life + August Posting Goals

I'm freeeeaaaking out, y'all. I'm moving to Norway in less than a week, haven't practiced Norwegian at all this summer (besides very short conversations with my boyfriend), and am generally unsure of what I have to do. It's exciting and awesome but also frightening... and I'm sad that I won't see my family for awhile, of course! But life is full of stuff like that, I guess. Oh well. Anyway- I've tried to get the next couple of weeks' reviews written up in preparation for my busy transitioning time! I'm here for another 6 days, but please forgive me if I'm slow with replying to comments or anything~
