Naturie - Hatomugi Skin Conditioner

Hi guys, Funny story about this post; I originally had it all typed out and just needed to add some photos. I decided to add an app to help upload the photos to the post via my phone but it didn't allow me to. In the process, I accidentally deleted the whole post. *cry* So I originally found this product in a Hong Kong cosmetic store in the airport. I was rushed for time and did a quick impulsive purchase. Once returning back to the UK I was quite excited to try this out as I had no idea what a "skin conditioner" was. Skin conditioner: A light weight and easily absorbed liquid, designed to hydrate and soften the skin. It is indeed a light-weight, milky looking liquid that can be used all year round. It claims it can: * Reduce skin aging * Reduce acne * Reduce un-even skin tone * Moisturize the skin * Hypoallergenic The USP of this product is that it is infused with coix seed extract which allows for deeper penetration into the skin's epidermis. ...

Dermacol Make-up Cover/ Foundation *Review*

Hi guys! So you've probably heard of the latest craze; Dermacol's Make-up cover originating in Prague. It is advertised to be: * Waterproof * Hypoallergenic * High Coverage etc. * Long Lasting * Cruelty Free This product seemed like the perfect type of foundation for me so I read a few articles and watched a few youtube videos but I was reluctant on trying since my skin is so sensitive/ dry. A few days later, I thought hey, I'm running out of foundation, why not try and see. I got it on Ebay for £5.99 (shade 218) however, there are cheaper ones available but I was worried about authenticity so I went for a more trusted seller. 3 days later, I received my Dermacol (30 g). Firstly, this product made some interesting claims (including the ones mentioned above): * Alcholol free * Ammonia Free * Paraben free * Minerals * Sun protection (SPF 30) * Vitamins * Non-comedogenic (Doesn't block your pores) Now sadly, I threw away its packaging in attempt to...

G&G Frozen Black REVIEW

Hello!  We are back with the new line of G&G in frozen black! Exciting! My contacts were ordered from PinkyParadise for a price of £17.95.  Now lets get the details down before the pictures (as on site):  Brand / GEO Origin /  South Korea Diameter /  14.5mm  Base Curve / 8.9mm Water Content / 38% Life Span / Yearly No contacts  With contacts It comes with a cute little macron lens case   Enlargement : 5/5 -  There's definitely an enlargement and it really makes a difference to they eyes! Comfort : 4/5 - With a water content of 38%, they are a bit more drying than the other contacts I own. Therefore, I can keep these in for 8 hours max before my eyes get quite dry but that's plenty of time and I wouldn't really recommend keeping circle lenses in for longer. Price : 5/5 - £17.95 for a yearly disposable lenses is a great price!! I highly recommend thi...

Garnier Ultimate Blends - Delicate Oat Milk Lotion - Review

HiHi!  We are back again with the Garnier's ultimate blends collection!  I've recently joined Bzzagent and if you don't know, they are a distrubution company that sends products for people to try and review. My first skincare delivery was this Oat milk lotion and body cream by Garnier. So... What did I think of it? Well, when I first pumped some of the lotion onto my hand it seemed very thick but this didn't dishearten me since my skin is dry! To my surprise, it was very silky upon application and quick to adsorb too! After a week of using this lotion I would say overall my skin was noticeably more moist and softer!  The only downfalls to this product is that I normally use Vaseline's body cream which has a much thinner consistency, which makes it quick and easy to apply, however as I mentioned earlier the lotion has quite a thick consistency meaning that I would have to massage the cream in for longer than usual. Also, I was a walking candle; the fragran...

Suisse Programme - Hydra soultions softening lotion - Review

Hello World! Today lets talk about Suisse Programme's Hydra solutions softening lotion. I've recently received this in a generous sample size of 30 mL. As expected, it has a consistency of water. It's very light and refreshing when applied on the skin yet very moisterising. My skin is relatively sensitive and this lotion has a fragrance, which initially I was a bit hesitant to apply onto my skin but to my surprise is was fine! I didn't react nor did it irritate my skin! This 30 mL bottle has lastest me aprrox. two months, using it in my skincare routine twice a day after cleansing. I honestly cannot find a fault in this lotion yet and excited to buy the full product!

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...

Princess Mimi Chocolate Brown Contact Lens Review

After having blue eyes for an extended period of time, I thought it was time to change to a more subtle and softer look for winter, especially having dyed my hair darker (As seen on the previous post here). Since I hadn't worn brown coloured lenses in so long, I was super shocked at how well the enlargement effect was! I got my lenses from  koreabigeyes.com , where the shipping was super quick! I received my parcel after 1-2 weeks of purchasing! The Princess Mimi were A LOT comfier than my previous contacts, however they still weren't the best. My eyes would get pretty dry after around 6 hours. It's not recommended to wear your lenses for more than 8 hours, but I do tend to have them in for 10-12 hours some days depending on my work load and the activities I have on that day (uni life), so comfort is very important to me but as I mentioned earlier, if you only have then in for a couple of hours, they are completely fine! So the contacts costed $16.99 and including shipping ...

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...

Steam Cream! *REVIEW*

HiHi~ Ok, so my birthday recently and gifted from my sister, was a rather cute looking tin decorated with a red bow glistening with gold sparkles. Looks so beautiful *.*  With no hints to what this is and the sight of me looking rather confused, she told me it's steam cream.  I've actually heard of steam cream before but had no idea what it was exactly until now.  Steam cream - "Natural skincare for face, body and hands". I'd first off like to say that normally i would steer away from products which are designed for any part of the body as my face is the most sensitive place out of my body and the skin type differs (not greatly but enough to have to use different products on each) but I thought I give this a whirl anyway since I'm hunting for a good moisturizer.  Check out their website for all the details: www.steamcream.com (I am reviewing this product as a facial moisturizer)                   ...

**REVIEW** Etude House - Collagen moistfull firming eye cream

Hello again guys!  So, I always dread looking for skincare products once I've finished mine, especially when the previous one I was using was not effective enough then I have to look into completely new products.  Don't get me wrong sometimes the new products work wonderfully but others you just want to let out a big sigh. This is why reviews are here! You can get an insight into the product by other people's opinions. Etude House. Home to cute packaging. Out of of their products I have tried, I must say they've worked well for me .. Until I bought this one. Etude House's Collagen Moistfull firming eye cream. Disappointing. I've been using this for quite some time now, I would say aprrox. 2 months... and there is still so much left =0!   Thick gel- kind of like jelly The consistency is a very thick gel type cream, before purchasing I had read that it is very moisturizing for the skin and me having dry areas around my eyes thoug...
