REVIEW: Missha Signature Real Complete BB Cream

What is this, Hana?

This is the second Missha BB cream that I have tried so far J. The first one is Missha Shiny BB Cream, you can read the review here. Missha is Korean brand, and it is famous for its BB cream. This BB cream has SPF 25 PA++ and it claims to be hypoallergenic. So, I guess it will be good for you who has sensitive skin. Ah, I have the picture from their website www.missha.net that I captured for you. There stated how to use it and the quality that the products claims to have.

Swatch

Well, I also have swatch pictures for you, girls J

before, u can really see my pores and redness >.<

pore is minimized and it evens out my skin

Hana`s review:

As you can see in the pictures above, the coverage is medium to full. One pea size can cover the whole face, so I suggest you to use a bit and build it up because sometimes too much of this makes you end up looking ghostly >.<. That happened to me when I use it for the first time, I was so embarassed. Hehehe This cream will oxidize and match your skin tone after a while, but, I am sure it will be best if we have the correct amount and skin tone right from the first time.

The concistency is great. It is a bit runny, but buildable and blendable. It covers my scars and redness, I use this cream alone to get a flawless look. The texture is also not too thick compares to my Caring colours BB cream. Everyday, I ussually set it up with my 3W Clinic ( Dodo Palgantong powder) and it lasts the whole day, 8 hours with little blotting.It can lasts 12 hours like the advertisement say, but I need to touch up. Nice! The price is quite pricey, but regarding how long this product will lasts, I think it is worth it and reasonable.

After using it awhile, It doesn’t break me out and I notice that my skin texture is suppler and smoother. Hmm, thanks to skin lipid and amino acid contains that this product brings.Well overall I like this products inner out. Even the packaging is cute, it has floral print and looks elegant. More importantly, it comes with a pump, so It is definitely more hygienic hehehe.

Rating: 5/5

Repurchase: Well, I like this cream, but I would like to try another cream J

Teaching ideas: SURPRISE GIFT

Slice of life

Hi, have you read my lovelyfriend`s advice? This activity that I am going to share with you is another sequel of it. Hmm, after I did my lovely friend`s advice in my classroom. Next, I did a SURPRISE GIFT activity. Who doesn’t love gift? Everybody does. It represents care, love and also self sacrifice.

The goals of this activity are:

Psychologically:

- They learn to care to each other

- They learn to give unconditional self regard. It means that you respect others for who they are.

- They learn to accept their weakness and work on it to be a better person

- They learn to tolerate each other

- They learn to be grateful for the love that has been given to their life

- To increase their soft motoric skills.

English Education Goals:

- To encourage them to speak and express their feelings in simple present tense and modal tense.

Material:

All you need is OLD NEWSPAPERS

How to do this?

Okay, hehehe, I shall explain then. Today, in class, I told them about the name of the game, then I distributed the old newspaper. They were so excited and kept questioning me what was the activity all about. Then I told them ,” we are going to gave each other surprise gifts. But it is no ordinary gift! It is special. Just now, you know your friend`s weakness. I want you to imagine gifts that help them encounter their weakness. It can be everything. Just be creative, and show your care towards your friend. The rules are simple, first, you can not use scissors and second you have to make it full-heartedly”

Then I gave them example. Example speaks louder than words, it always do. I took a piece of old newpaper, folded it until it looked like a book. I said, “ Since John is forgetful, I may make a book for him, so he can write things that need to be done here.” That was example of “logical” gift. I tore the newpaper into very very little pieces. I said, “ This is can be a gift too, do you know what is this? This is a super magical fairy stardust. I pour this onto John`s head, and I may wish that his forgetfulness may be gone forever. That is my gift.”Everybody laughed.

Because everybody understood what to do, I shuffled the cards once again to determined who will make the gifts and for whom.

After everything settled, we started to make the gifts hehehe. I made gifts for John. The first one was blackberry to remind him what to do and what to keep. Next one was super goof ball. This goof ball was supposed to retrieved back his memory. I said,” Somebody just has to hit him with my goof ball, and he is going to remember everything.” Everybody seems to be entertained hohohoho.

John gave his brother Ben a story book J. He said, “ If you stop being indifferent, I shall give you this book” It was a cut out from a newpaper cartoons. It was so cute. Hmm he made some grammar mistakes on his gifts, but it was tolerable since he is still new in english.

Ben, gave me KAMEN RIDER MASK! Hohohoho so funny. He said, “It is going to give you a super strength so you can clean your room very fast!” Hahaha. Thank you so much Ben.

So in the end, I did some reframing to my kids. I emphasized this section on how they should be grateful if they have friends who are willing to fill their weakness, how they can tolerate each other weakness, and how to regard others for who they are.

Teaching Ideas: My lovely friend`s advice

Slice of life

Hi everyone and dear fellow english teacher J Today I would like to share with you a teaching idea. Yesterday I taught about weaknesses. After having some reading and grammar practices, we made a circle and I made everyone say one of their weakness. Ben ( my student) said that he is indifferent. John said that he is forgetful and I said that I am messy hehehe.

Meet JOHN, BEN, and AMY!

Then, I picked three random cards, it happened to be ace, five and six hearts. So I shuffled it, I let them chose one. I got ace, Ben got five, and John got six. I told them that the game name is “MY LOVELY FRIEND`S ADVICE”. And I told them about the game rules.

1. Each member has to take turn according to the card that we picked earlier. Since I got ace, I was first, then Ben, then John

2. When it is your turn, you have to say this :

Hi, my name is ……………. My weakness is ……………………..

For example: Hi my name is Amy ( my nickname). My weakness is messy

Then, the other team member will give me advice. They will start by saying :

Amy, if you are messy, you wil …../ you can ……

3. Each team member has to give at least three advices, then you can move to the next person

Hehehe, my students adviced me like this:

Amy, if you are messy, your room will be dirty and yucky

Amy, if you are messy, you will step on your stuff, then they will be broken.

Amy, if you are messy, your room will have a lot of cockroach

What an enlightment! Hohoho. I also gave advices to my students, and in the end, after everyone had said their advice, I asked them , “ Are they true?”, “ Have you got bad experience because you are … ( their weakness)?” All of them said that the advices were right, they got bad experiences. Then I said, “ You see, choices have consequences, if we choose to linger on our weakness, we might experienced all the bad things happened to our life.” I also encouraged them to change theirself, they can “cure” theirself by making good choices.

This activity will let your students to be more self – aware and increase their self understanding. They will know that everybody has weakness, so hopefully they can be more tolerate towards each other, even fill their friend`s weakness with their strength. That is what friendship is all about, isn’t it? This activity will also encourage self determination to become a better person.

Hmm, Now, talking about english skills, this will boost their confidence to speak more J. And this activity is appropriate to teach conditional sentences, future tense, simple present tense, and also giving opinion. I hope it helps J.
