@Skinsitivity  does makeup capsule collections and as soon as the IG algorithm decided to let me know about this awesome idea I jumped on board. Her idea was to restrict herself to select products each fortnight which has a lot of benefits that I'm digging. Not having to ooh and ah over the different combinations every morning was definitely a key reason why I was so keen, that and making sure I was using up older products. The lineup definitely changed over the fortnight, as I learnt new things about some older products. Base  - Nature Republic Pure Waterful Base (unpictured) Foundation  - Guerlain Parure Gold Radiance Foundation SPF 30 PA+++ (02 Beige Clair) Concealer  - Estee Lauder Double Wear Concealer (02 Light Medium) Corrector  - NYX Dark Circle Corrector (Light/Pale) Apologies that the NR base isn't included here, I threw it out and a day later decided I should blog about this -.- Two weeks spent with it convinced me that it was a ...

Labiotte is a sister brand to Tonymoly and sets itself apart as the older sibling whose tastes have progressed beyond cute animal products, and now has a more 'refined' palate for objects of elegance and greater complexity. Or according to their US website , botanical based functional cosmetics. Personally I didn't hear about them until reviews of their Chateau Labiotte Wine Lip Tints started appearing all over YT, and then they were mentioned in that EXO song . But how do their skincare products fare? I have mixed feelings about their masks, so read on to see which ones I recommend :) BLOOMING ESSENCE SERIES Phyto Ceramide Sheet Mask Claims to give vitality and supply moisture to dry skin with its combination of plant-derived ceramide and microfiber sheet. Contrary to the series name, the Blooming Essence Ceramide mask is an emulsion-type mask. The thin mask comes with single-sided netting to help with the unfolding. There's a surprising amount of ...

  If you're new to skincare, an extensive routine no doubt appears daunting. There are serums and essences, ampoules and treatments etc. etc. and maybe all you're after is healthy, balanced skin. There are 3 key skincare products which will no doubt help you on your way - a cleanser, moisturiser and sunscreen.  A dear friend gifted me Pearlosophy products, which happened to all be essentials for a basic routine. Basic skincare routine trio 1. CLEANSER  O2 Clean Good Cleanser Whether or not you wear makeup, a good, gentle cleanser is absolutely necessary. During the day you may be sweating, or in contact with lots of dust and other allergens that can cling onto your skin and contribute to a dull appearance. A cleanser can help banish these pollutants, plus it's a great way to wake yourself up if you're not a morning person :P  Look for cleansers with a pH of about 5.5. This is the pH of the acid mantle on your face, which helps to prevent bacteria f...

Claims? (taken from Sokoglam) Beauty Water is ideal: - As a toner before application of the rest of your skin care products - To remove remaining impurities after cleansing - As a way to freshen your face during the day First Impressions I'm always hesitant to try products that are highly raved about because it sets up ultra high expectations. I tackled the deluxe sample size bottle first, because using up a full product, large or small, always feels so damn good. The deluxe bottle contained 60ml and lasted  a little under 3 weeks. For the first two weeks I used it purely on the right side of my face by soaking a cotton pad and sweeping it across my face and neck. The sensation was always odd - it would leave my skin with a clean, fresh feeling, the feeling you get after sanitising your hands or using an alcohol swab.  I think I was so 'eh' about the product even after finishing the deluxe size because I expected some sort of extreme, magical tr...

One of my 2017 resolutions is to blog twice a month and really up my communication skills. The first post of the year is a round up of some masks I've gone through, which I'll be doing regularly because I bought over a year's worth of masks and I don't intend on letting any of them go to waste. A ' P I E U chocolate milk mask The packaging is adorable but annoying. There's the outer milk carton packaging, and then an extra plastic bag within in, that the mask is kept in. Tearing along the perforated line separated the packets from each other and I'd be awkwardly fumbling around for the leftover essence. The smell was horrendous too - it's cheap and artificial and reminded me of a weird mixture of flavoured medicine coupled with overripe mango. But the fit was great - the sheet was thin and adhered well to the skin without any slippage for 40 minutes. My skin definitely looked better afterwards and was firmer from the moisture, but the smell w...

I can't believe it's New Year's Eve already (in Australia at least) - how was your 2016? Mine revolved around  starting a new university course, then of course I tried my hand at beauty blogging in the latter quarter of the year. Going to Korea was definitely one of the highlights, especially being able to check out the Bigbang A to Z Exhibition before their massive hiatus. I would like to think I've built upon my leadership skills, but my lack of social skills have definitely stayed more or less the same haha.  While I'd like to continue trying the whole 'new year new me' mindset, the older I get the more stubborn I become (I'll still add 'staying flexible and adaptable' to my 2017 resolutions tho). 'New year new skin' isn't a thing; fortunately my daily skincare routine is a process I really enjoy. As makeup played an increasingly greater part in my life this year, so has cleansing and ensuring my skin is healthy and clean befor...

D E A R   P A C K E R    C A M E L L I A   J E J U   F L O W E R Claims According to bbcosmetic.com it is 'for skin to have rich nutrients with tight skin'. Packaging Ingredients provided in English, but the claims weren't translated. I really like the packaging, the colours are very vivid. The mask appears speckled, like the seeds of a strawberry. Fit Not bad, I made some minor adjustments. The eye shape, is downward turned and leaves parts of the undereye area naked. It felt like a soft clooth draped over my face however the chin area often slipped off. Essence 23ml. Thin consistency, akin to a light lotion that sinks in very quickly. It dried down to a slightly tacky finish. Its sweet floral scent smells divine and it lingered for the most part of the masking session (40 minutes). Very little essence remained in the packet. Effects + repurchase Admittedly I was skeptical at first and it only shows how much I underestim...
