**REVIEW** Skin & Lab - Vitamin C Cream

Hellooo! 

Just a quick update- I have now just started university at Manchester (YAY, I made it in!) and wow, living off student loan is so difficult but enjoying every moment here! 

Long time no speak! I hope you've all been doing well! 
I have recently made a purchase for the skin & lab vitamin C brightening cream as my skin has been looking a little dull lately and wanted to re-vamp it! Before purchasing this product I have realized that there aren't many reviews on it, yet it seems like a reasonably popular product so for you guys reading I hope this becomes of use! ^^ 

First off I would like to say that I really do find the packinging very attractive. It looks so 'clean' with it's reflective boxing and not overly cluttered like a lot of product packaging I have seen. 




A bit of the info and details on the back, for whoever wants to read it ...


I would love to say a big thank you for all the free samples they gave me, which included most of the skin & lab line! Looking forward to trying them out! 
This is pretty much the same as the picture above but not as zoomed in ...
hmm, makes me wonder why i bothered inserting this picture too ...
As you can see, the consistency is gel-like and water based, so for that matter it was not moisturizing for the skin, especially my skin which is dry. I had to use something over it after applied. 
As you rub it in, the product is absorbed very quickly into the skin and does not leave any film as a lot of gel creams do.


So to conclude
Moister for me is the most important thing for my skin so as stated above, it was not moisturizing enough , so I don't recommend it for those with dryer skin types unless you want to use a moisturizer over it but in my case I didn't like doing that. Also, the gel was not unscented. It smelt like those disinfectant wash cloths you get at restaurants (do you know what i mean?)... It didn't bother me too much because once it absorbed into the skin I couldn't smell it anymore.
 As for brightening effects, I definitely saw a difference after I used it for a week. My skin was noticeably brighter and not as dull.
Be Careful - when using this product and/or any other brightening/whitening products be sure to keep your skin protected with sun block of SPF15 or more as the products reduce the production of melanin in the skin and upon expose to sun rays it would make your skin more prone to damage of the skin cells, eg, dark spots.

- Speak soon !

Liese Ash Brown Hair dye *Review*

Helllooooo~ Summer time means lighter hair! (I know, this post is late *sigh*)  So i'm here to tell/show you guys what the Liese Ash brown hair dye is like! - WOOHOO! Ok, above is my hair without dying. It's very dark brown.  and then.... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. TADAAAAAAAAAA It actually turned out lighter then I suspected!  I left the dye on for an hour and followed the rest of the instructions as per normal.  My hair felt so soft! As for the colour, I was very pleasantly surprised! The ash tone did turn out well (although it made my face look so tanned *hehe*) and the colour was nice and vibrant. Sadly, after a few washes the ash tone kind of washed out, so now I have a slight red-y tone, but I already new that this would happen. So below, I posted a few more pictures so you can get more of a jist of the colour ^^ Oh...

Barcelona

This was the first trip i've ever gone with a group of friends; consisting of three people, excluding me. Two of which I had met through my University Halls and the other was my flatmates' friend from home. This experience was scary yet exciting. I would have never thought of going abroad with friends, as I have never felt that I would be very safe. However, I felt comfortable with my flatmates and hoping that I would be comfortable with the other friend too. The first day was not the best since I was quite badly ill from going out the night before we flew for a friends birthday. I remember waking up and feeling incredibly dizzy. I slept for a while, then ate some Pandol and slept again. I woke up refreshed! That Panadol was so strong! It probably had enhanced effects on me because I rarely take medicine when i'm unwell. The days consisted of walking, taking more photo's and walking again. We didn't really have a plan so we just improvised as the day came, which...

Garnier Nutrisse truly blonde hair dye Review

Hello! I'm back with another hair dye review by Garnier! I've wanted to go blonde for the longest time, but having Asian hair made this a lot more difficult. Previous people I have spoken to who have also tried to go blonde ended up ginger. Nevertheless, this did not scare me! I was determined! This was my previous colour So, 30 minutes after! Time to rinse! oops, blurry  Indoor lighting (with a terrible front camera) Alright, as you guys can see, it's not blonde bu more yellow. However, at the time I liked it - it was different.  Outdoor lighting  So, I ended up like a strawberry blonde?  In order for me to get to a blonder shade, I needed to bleach again but I quite liked my current colour, so I left it as it is.  My hair condition was surprisingly good after dying and a week or two after! But as you probably guess - the condition deteriorated, leaving my hair dry and brittle.  All is w...
