<b>Hello! How is everyone today? Hope you guys have enjoyed your weekends!</b></center>
<center style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
A few days ago, I was sent the<b> Clearasil Vitamins and Extracts Wash and Mask</b> to try out and I am here today to give you a mini review.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
I have always been confident in Clearasil products; I have been using there products ever since my awkward, teenage years. As a teenager, like most others, I struggled with acne for many years but luckily for me my skin was responsive to the Clearasil products. </center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
In this day and age, our lifestyle has become increasingly busy and stressful- many of us have adopted the attitude of 'work hard, play hard'. I know I certainly do. After working, I have neglected many aspects of my life and have been increasingly lazy with my skincare. As a result, my skin has become more dull and I have seen more frequent breakouts in the past week.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">

<center style="text-align: left;">
<b>Clearasil Vitamins and Extracts Wash and Mask</b> has been designed for women who is in my position. I am sure many of you are quite busy too! What us great about is that it is a 2 in 1 product which means that not only is it a face wash, it can also be used as a mask!</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
The two key ingredients of this product is Avocado and Pomegranate. Both of these ingredients are not only beneficial to our health but for our skin as well.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTSYPnoRs2sil8dh7lP4vF1fsSY5EO8HCuund2P-08v0GtwNeGIQT7UBTRgD7e6yepGGvuKTpyZOCx8fGafUg2CwN_OYqPHDWNPd4B7t-CIjuyiGrmRcMy9od0NfLK-aNzUsifrDZ_yHhi/s1600/Benefits.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="376" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTSYPnoRs2sil8dh7lP4vF1fsSY5EO8HCuund2P-08v0GtwNeGIQT7UBTRgD7e6yepGGvuKTpyZOCx8fGafUg2CwN_OYqPHDWNPd4B7t-CIjuyiGrmRcMy9od0NfLK-aNzUsifrDZ_yHhi/s640/Benefits.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
As well as these core ingredients, the product also contains Vitamin E and glycerin for enhanced hydration as well as salycilic acid to prevent further breakouts.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<b>What It Claims</b></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<i style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Formulated with Avocado Extracts and nourishing
Vitamin E, glycerine for hydration, as well as Pomegranate fruit extract, an
anti-oxidant known to help keep skin looking and feeling healthy, these
delicious smelling products cleanse gently and do not leave your skin over
dried.</i></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<i style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></i></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>Review</b></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><i><b>Smell</b></i>: This product has an amazing smell. It is very refreshing and has the typical smell of products containing cucumber. If there was a perfume that smelt like this, I actually wouldn't mind smelling like this all day. I find that the scent really wakes me up in the morning.</span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><i><b>Texture</b></i>: The texture is very creamy, however, it is not heavy but rather light. The product does not foam up so it is very gentle on the skin.</span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><b>As a face wash</b></i>: It is a very gentle face wash and not stripping at all for a product containing salycilic acid. I could definitely feel that the moisturising properties as I didn't feel like I needed to put on moisturiser straight away as I usually do when I use some other face washes.</span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><b>As a mask</b></i>: To use this as a face mask, it was recommended to leave the product on the face for 3 minutes before washing off. When I used this as a face mask, I found that it didn't do anything extra for my skin. </span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">My sister also tried this as a face mask- she has oily, typical teenage skin. She reported that she felt an uncomfortable, tingling on her pimples after a minute and so had to wash it after a minute, however, I didn't feel such discomfort.</span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><b>Overall</b></i>: So far, I think that it is a great face wash. I actually haven't been using face wash lately, only been using water since I found that the facial washes I was using to be quite drying. However, I will definitely continue using this one as it leaves more skin feel really soft and smooth.</span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I haven't used the product long enough to say anything about it's blemish control properties but I will certainly do an update when I have used product for another week or two. Please stay tuned for that!</span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">

<li>My favorite thing to wear is pyjamas. </li>

<b>Hello! How is everyone?</b></center>
<center style="text-align: center;">
My fingers are turning into ice blocks as I type this. It is so cold at the moment! I know I have nothing to complain as Sydney winters are not as cold as say Canadian winters.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
I'm here today with a review on the Maybelline Colorsensational lipsticks which I purchased recently. I have been quite naughty in that I haven't been able to resist the EOFY sales- I have picked up quite a few lipsticks when I promised myself I wouldn't.</center>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Maybelline is one of my favourite drugstore products, I have tried their face and eye products but have yet to try their lipsticks. So when Priceline was selling them for $10 each I quickly snapped them up.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
The two colours I picked up was 910 Shocking Coral and 914 Vibrant Mandarin.</center>

<i>Packaging: </i>The lipsticks are packaged in a silver, square based silver tubes with a sturdy, bright red, transparent cap. On the caps, there is a mirror which is perfect for on the go. The shade names are stuck on the base with lipsticks. The colours of the stickers provide a relatively good idea as to what the colour is.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i>Texture: </i>These lipsticks are creamy and glide on beautifully. With that being said, before applying any lipstick, you should still moisturise and exfoliate your lips. Patchy lips are still emphasised, no matter how creamy the lipstick.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The finish is glossy but can be toned down by dabbing with a tissue.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i>Pigmentation:</i> The pigmentation of these lipsticks are gorgeous. They are extremely pigmented and I am extremely impressed by them. </div>

<i>Application and wear:</i> These lipsticks glide on the lips like a dream. I would definitely say these lipsticks are long wearing, they last on my lips 5+ hours. With that being said, they do leave a stain on the lips which have proven to be a pain to remove. But I do somewhat like that it leaves behind a stain and does not completely disappear. </div>

Good day lovelies!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
How has everyone been lately? Hope you are all enjoying your weekend!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I recently picked up some skincare products from online. One of the products that immediately caught my attention was this <b>Innisfree Olive Heating Mask</b>. To be honest, I'm sucker for products containing olive oil. I buy olive oil hair masks, treatments etc. So when I saw this mask, I added it to my cart without hesitation. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<a name='more'></a>One reason why I love olive oil and products containing olive oil is because of how versatile and 'healthy' it is for you. As a food product, it is high in monounsaturated fatty acids which have been linked to cardiovascular health and good quality olive oil contains nutrients and antioxidants which can prevent cellular damage. In short, olive oil is very very good for you.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7C4nEwuWJZMtlmeopD0oFzudZ7rsKZZCVlnXQ-SoA2UCOG0qgvkNHxng_y30efLit3SQsE7UhFgY1SttCwdFEHITieJfqdK7a4bcv-sjKiRC1a8139LDzzZco1adlG8FT9U7o22GOLlym/s1600/benefits-of-olive-oil.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="280" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7C4nEwuWJZMtlmeopD0oFzudZ7rsKZZCVlnXQ-SoA2UCOG0qgvkNHxng_y30efLit3SQsE7UhFgY1SttCwdFEHITieJfqdK7a4bcv-sjKiRC1a8139LDzzZco1adlG8FT9U7o22GOLlym/s400/benefits-of-olive-oil.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: left;">Okay, less rave and more talk about the actual product.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Once again, I forgot to keep the box that the product came in. I'm the total opposite of a hoarder- I like to throw things out. From memory, the product came in a small green cardboard box which looks like it was made from recycled paper. You guys know what I mean right? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtj6sTVcoXF9sB7dN5LiT811xtW4_Uxj0qGHxxF77BhC69MJ2MY1a4n9yc0tF6QEgTq5FOpu_zH31pn88Zdr1paH7Kv_iNpPZpamDR9T0W5QWGwMmLm9LqR6hMOKwiX8s_P4tGvrprMnpH/s1600/in.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtj6sTVcoXF9sB7dN5LiT811xtW4_Uxj0qGHxxF77BhC69MJ2MY1a4n9yc0tF6QEgTq5FOpu_zH31pn88Zdr1paH7Kv_iNpPZpamDR9T0W5QWGwMmLm9LqR6hMOKwiX8s_P4tGvrprMnpH/s640/in.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The mask is contained in a small glass container similar to those that hold jams and spreads. The whole vibe from the packaging is that it is very earthy and environmentally friendly.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Asides from olive oil, this mask also contains green complex native to Jeju Island which includes greentea, rapeseed, citrus, cactus and volcanic ground water. This cocktail of ingredients sounds like it would do amazing things for the skin.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The brand also boasts about it's 7 free principles which are no mineral oil, no artificial colours, no artificial fragrances, no triclosan, no benzophenones, no parabens and best of all no animal testing!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>What it claims</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i>It is a heating massage mask that contains organic olive extract from the Mediterranean. This transforms your dried and rough skin into moist and smooth.</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Review</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i>Smell:</i> As soon as I open this product, there is a distinctive smell of Indian spices. In particular, (I think it may be) cumin. I love curries and the smell of them. But this to me smelt a little bit strange. Reminded me of the chinese medicine that I was forced to drink when I was younger. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i>Texture: </i>This has a VERY sticky consistency. It feels like honey but more viscous. When you turn the container upside down, the product does not budge at all. That's how sticky it is. Throughout the mask, there are tiny granules which I believe is what gives the product it's scent- Indian spices.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i>On the skin:</i> It was really sticky on the face to the point where I felt a little uncomfortable. As I massaged the product in, I began to feel a warming sensation which was quite pleasant. After massaging it in, I left it on for about 10 minutes and washed off the product. My skin did feel really moist- felt like moisture was sealed in. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i>Overall:</i> I was a bit turned off this product after my first use. The smell and the texture was just something I couldn't tolerate. However, it did do what it claimed. My skin did feel soft and smooth afterwards but there are other products which smell and feel better on the market which does the same job.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Has anyone else tried this? Did you like the smell and texture of this?</b></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Does anyone use warming masks, if so recommend one please? </b></div>

<a name='more'></a>I'll start off the the Revlon Photoready palette in Impressionist. To be honest, I wasn't really expecting much from the palette. But after swatching the shadows, I was highly impressed with the colours and the pigmentation of most of the colours.<br />

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
What is interesting about this palette is that the eyeshadows are set out in the way you are meant to use it. For example, #1 is your brow highlight, #2 for your crease, #3 all over lid colour...</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This is extremely helpful for a eyeshadow noob like me. </div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
#1- is a nice shimmery highlight colour, however it is not very pigmented and does not really show up on the brow bone</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
#2- is a metallic brown colour which is meant to be the crease colour. It is very pigmented and glides on the skin very smoothly. An absolutely gorgeous colour!</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
#3- is a bronzy all over the lid colour. The quality is the same as #2 and is absolutely beautiful!</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
#4- is a shimmery cream primer but it glides on the skin like a powder eye shadow. It would also be a great inner corner colour.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
#5- is a sparkly and glittery top coat. There is a little bit of fallout from this eyeshadow. It is meant to be the last step and I would recommend it to be patted on.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>My Thoughts</b></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I am absolutely loving this palette, although two of the eyeshadows are a little bit disappointing, it is an overall a lovely neutral palette, perfect for everyday wear.</div>

Torch is a combination of metallic pink and brown. I absolutely love the pink colour; I often use it alone as an all over the lid colour and it really brightens up the eyes.</div>

I absolutely love this. The shadows glide on so smoothly, there was absolutely no tugging. The lasting power of these are amazing. They last me all day without creasing or smudging. I would definitely recommend this product to those wishing to try shadowsticks. (I am giving one of these away in my giveaway- links are below if you haven't joined already)</div>

I'm sure many of you have seen reviews/raves about this line. They sure do live up to the hype. I am highly impressed by the quality of these given how inexpensive these are. If you haven't tried this, you're definitely missing out. Go get them now!:P I don't have any more to add about these. Let's just say 'pictures speak a thousand words'.</div>

Hi lovelies!</center>
<center>
Hope everyone is well :) I'm looking forward to the long weekend ahead. I will finally have some time to blog a bit more. </center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
I'm here today with a review on Etude House's Real Art Cleansing Oil Moisture which I bought in a skincare haul that I did last week. (image of what I bought is on Instagram)</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
I've always been intrigued with cleansing oils but have never tried them before; since the weather is getting drier here, I thought that it would be the perfect time to try it out.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2V88GjmmWR4FdNMGcf9Cnbj3ze0M9JucAkXO-K3IHMS-dXpQ60Jpj3ttgHq1C2uYKqhXmbAMOEIIFLcmd8YXTHvGfzf22D0t6AUtt3jHZN094sLOxKN6luCNAzKxkSWAVIQRAJgVmrUdU/s1600/IMG_0963.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2V88GjmmWR4FdNMGcf9Cnbj3ze0M9JucAkXO-K3IHMS-dXpQ60Jpj3ttgHq1C2uYKqhXmbAMOEIIFLcmd8YXTHvGfzf22D0t6AUtt3jHZN094sLOxKN6luCNAzKxkSWAVIQRAJgVmrUdU/s400/IMG_0963.jpg" width="298" /></a></div>

<center style="text-align: left;">
There are two kinds of Etude House Real Art Cleansing Oil: Fresh and Moisture. I picked up the moisture as my skin is dry-combination whereas the Fresh is recommended for those with more oily skin.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;"><b>What is claims: </b>"<i>Real Art Cleansing Oil is formulated with cocount oil to gently remove tough waterproof makeup while protection and moisturizing skin.</i></span><br style="background-color: white;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-style: italic;">Effectively removes the following makeup : Eyeliner, Mascara, Lipstick, BB Cream, Eye Brow"</span></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
First off, I love the packaging of it. I like the fact that it has a pump and the container itself is very geometric. I hardly see skincare products packaged like this- I like how snugly it fits in my cabinet.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<b>How to use:</b></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><i><span style="font-family: inherit;">"1. Apply oil all over the face and massage thoroughly.</span></i></span></center>
<i><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;">2. Add some water and massage again, until the oil became milky color.</span><br style="background-color: white;" /><span style="background-color: white;">3. Rinse with warm water. (Use foam cleanser if needed.)"</span></span></i><div>
<i><br /></i><center style="text-align: left;">
The oil smells quite refreshing and sort of citrusy. I kind of like that smell- it's very clean. I was very hesitant on using this on my face at first because it felt really oily.(Duh Carmen) However, after adding water, it sort of the lathers up and you can really feel it cleaning your skin without being oily at all.</center>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">After using the cleansing oil</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The cleansing oil easily removed the concealor, lipgloss and BB cream. However, the lipstick, eyeliner, Maybelline Colour Tattoo required more time to remove. After about 40 seconds, the waterproof mascara was all that remained.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The cleansing oil was really effective in removing makeup from the back of arm. However, I found that when I used it on my face, the mascara hardly budged and it took longer to remove lipstick, eyeliner and eyeshadow. This may be because I tend to be a lot gentler rubbing my face than the back of my arm.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
To be honest, I won't repurchase this product because what I look for in makeup removers is it's ability to remove my mascara. I would use this as a cleanser as it's so gentle and moisturising on the skin.</div>

Hiii!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I'm very excited to post this up. As you can probably guess from the image above, I will be hosting a giveaway! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I have been on the blogosphere for a little over a month now and am very proud of myself that I have kept it up for a month- I know for many this is not a great feat but for me thats a big achievement. I want to give back to the community that has stuck with me for this long.<br />
<br />
As they say, it takes 21 days to make a habit. Hopefully, I can make blogging a part of my life as I do enjoy it and love interacting with all you other bloggers out there. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
One thing I love about the blogosphere is that all the girls (and guys) are all so very nice and supportive. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Without further ado, I'll introduce you to the products that I will be giving away.<br />

These two are some of my favourite lip products. I've never tried Palmer's lip butter in dark chocolate and cherry but I absolutely love the smell of the dark chocolate and peppermint one. Smells like it would taste really good if you like peppermint.</div>

I've tried the nail stickers before, they're really good for sprucing up your nails when you're feeling too lazy to do any type of nail art. I have yet to try the magnetic polishes: they look and sound pretty cool so I picked one up for myself to try and decided to purchase one to giveaway as well.</div>

I really miss the sunny skies which provided the perfect lighting for taking pictures. Can't wait for spring/summer to roll around again. How is the weather is your country? Are you liking it?<br />

The collection is by Kate Moss and features 11 shades. They are promoted as pigmented, glossy and long lasting for up to 8 hours.<br />
<br />
I love the simple design of the case which is black with Kate written on the lid in red.<br />

#16 is a dusty rose pink colour which I love. The lipstick itself is quite creamy and not drying on my lips at all. I found that I could wear it without putting a lip balm underneath. The finish is also quite glossy. However, I found that the application was quite patchy and the colour settles into the lines of the lips. As for long lasting, I found it last about 3-4 hours on me and then I would need to touch up.<br />
<br />
I'm generally not a lipstick person, I prefer lipglosses. However, I love the colour of this one. The pink doesn't look strange against my skintone and I'm happy to have found a pink I can wear. Despite, the application I will continue to use this and maybe even repurchase it for its colour.<br />

It's been a while since my last post. Hope everyone has been well! I've been working more recently and by the time I get home, I'm too exhausted to want to do anything.<br />
<br />
In this post, I will be doing a review on the Tony Moly Blackhead Out Oil Gel. I have seen this product online and in-stores, and have always been intrigued by it, in particular the adorable egg packaging.<br />

From as far back as I can remember, I've always had a bit of a problem with blackheads on my nose. No matter what I do, they don't seem to budge. The only way to remove them was by physically squeezing or using pore strips (which I avoid because it opens up the pores).<br />
<br />
The Tony Moly Blackhead Out Oil Gel is part of the Egg Pore Series which consists of three products: this gel, Egg Pore Tightening Pack and Egg Pore Silky Balm.<br />

</tbody></table>
As it's name suggests, this product is a gel consistency with (according to the packaging) 'magical beads'. Surprisingly, the gel is made of oil. However, it does not feel oily at all. It has a great citrus/lemon scent which is not overpowering. It contains egg and Camellia flower extract which tighten and soothes the pores as well as nourishing the skin.<br />
<br />
The gel is extremely easy to use- it's basically like a cleanser. You put a little bit on your nose and rub it with damp fingers. The gel reacts with the sebum in your skin and turns from a clear to a white colour. It's kind of satisfying watching the gel change colour.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #e06666;">What I Think</span></b><br />
I am very impressed with this product! After one use, most of the blackheads on my nose were gone. (forgot to take a picture before T.T Oh well, at least I won't scare you guy off now) There were a few stubborn ones left behind but overall it did a great job at getting rid of most of them. I would definitely recommend this to those who have blackheads.<br />

The only problem I have with is the packaging (I seem to have a problem with the packaging of most products >>) Although, it's very cute, it's not very practical. Without a dispenser you would need to dip your fingers or find a spatula to scoop the product out. Also the seal over the product does not fit perfectly so it slip and slides, allowing the product to spill over the edge- in effect wasting some product.<br />

On a more interesting note, the packaging can serve another purpose after you use up the gel. You can actually use it as a pot for a plant. You just have to crack open the top as shown in the image below. How cool is that!?<br />

Hey guys! How is everyone?</div>
<div>
Today, I will be doing a review on Naruko's Rose&Snow Fungus Aqua Cubic Moisturiser. Now that winter has hit Sydney, the weather has become a lot drier and so much colder. My skin has definitely suffered from wind burns and the dry conditions. </div>
<div>
Naruko was developed by Niuer who is affectionately known as the 'beauty king' in Taiwan. You can find out more about the brand and it's story <a href="http://www.naruko.us/help/KnowNiuer.aspx" target="_blank">here</a>.</div>
<div>
I had bought several of their products from their Rose&Snow Fungus and Narcissus line from the Australian website and loved it. Being a Taiwanese brand, I was surprised to see a stall set up in my local Westfield. Regardless, I was happy to rediscover this brand and picked up the moisturiser for my parched skin.</div>

The company recommends applying the moisturiser with a cotton pad, however, I just apply it normally with my hands and fingers and they seem to do the job.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For those who don't know what <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tremella_fuciformis" target="_blank">Snow Fungus</a> is, it's not as gross as it sounds. It's actually quite yummy in desserts and is known for its beneficial properties for the skin.</div>

<span style="color: #e06666;">What I Think</span></div>
The milky, light emulsion absorbs well into the skin and does a great job at hydrating the skin. After applying this I feel that my skin is more radiant. However, as it is so light, I feel like it won't be enough for the winter and top it off with a thicker moisturiser. It would be perfect for use alone in Summer when it is warmer and more humid.<br />
There is a subtle scent of roses, so this might not be for those who do not like the smell of roses.<br />
<br />
The one thing I dislike about the product is it's packaging. The way it is packaged makes it really difficult to dispense and control the amount of product that you pour out. Other than that, I would definitely repurchase this and other's in the range for it's affordability and its moisturising properties.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

Today, I'd like to share a haul from Chemist Warehouse. I don't normally go into Chemist Warehouse, so I wouldn't know if they have any specials on. However, <a href="http://www.chermaineho.blogspot.com.au/2013/05/12-price-drugstore-cosmetics-haul.html" target="_blank">Chermaine</a> recently blogged about a 50% off special on all makeup items and I immediately made a beeline to my local Chemist Warehouse.<br />
As most of you would have heard/know makeup in Australia is pretty expensive so any discount at all is a good discount. The sale ends on the 30th of May, so for all the Australians reading this post, definitely take advantage of this offer. Needless to say, I certainly did :)<br />
<br />

<br />
For the eyes I bought:<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li> 24Hr Colour Tattoo in Bad to the Bronze (I know I'm late to jump on the bandwagon, but I finally remembered to pick it up)</li>
<li>Revlon Photoready Primer + Shadow in 505 Impressionist (I am excited to try this, I swatched this in store and the colours were pretty!)</li>
<li>Revlon Colourstay Smoky Shadow Stick in 201 Torch (I've always wanted to try shadow sticks from Faceshop but the colour in Torch are similar to the Faceshop ones I wanted to try so I picked this up instead)</li>
<li>Maybelline Falsies Mascara (My favourite go-to mascara at the moment)</li>
</ol>

For the lips I bought:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ol>
<li>Rimmel Kate Lipstick in 16 Rosetto? (From memory, it was a dusty rose colour)</li>
<li>Maybelline Baby Lips Colour in Pink Lolita (I have always liked Baby Lips but have never tried the 'colour' line</li>
<li>Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in 01 Honey Douce</li>
</ol>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPeqVF33uY6EC-_Peu1ET8LXLaXyCUnKYKaBOUOCGaD_PhcuidfKO0kSoaxhVGyh3Csbo9Oc0tQm1RZeVk9lpF10KjkbEpEst99oLFI8BMFsTJSL39Dvw9B7cKaFitvJ9-43vwP-rZaJUz/s1600/misc.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPeqVF33uY6EC-_Peu1ET8LXLaXyCUnKYKaBOUOCGaD_PhcuidfKO0kSoaxhVGyh3Csbo9Oc0tQm1RZeVk9lpF10KjkbEpEst99oLFI8BMFsTJSL39Dvw9B7cKaFitvJ9-43vwP-rZaJUz/s400/misc.jpg" width="243" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
And finally 2 miscellaneous:</div>
<div>
<ol>
<li>Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation (To be honest I've never used foundation before, have always used BB cream and prior to that just concealer to hide my dark circles and blemishes so I'm excited to try this)</li>
<li>Sally Hansen Salon Effects Nail Polish Strips 550 Tweedle Dee (I have always been curious about these strips)</li>
</ol>
<div>
All this cost about $50 which I'm happy with as without the discount it would be a little over $100 o.O (Yay for saving money!)</div>
<div>

<div>
Have any of you used these products before? If so what were your thoughts on them?</div>

I was digging through my drawer of masks and was surprised to find this. I purchased this a while ago when I was in China and had forgotten about it.<div>
I'm not too sure how well know the brand MG is. But they make one of my favourite facial masks. Thus I was excited when I found there Water Cycling Eye Mask and immediately tried it.</div>

The instructions on the back is in Chinese; with my limited knowledge all I can gather is that this mask is meant to be hydrating. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Trehalose is meant to be the core ingredient in this mask. Trehalose is a sugar found in plants and is used in cosmetic products such as moisturisers. It has hydration and water binding properties as well as being an antioxidant.</div>

The mask is two strips contoured to fit right under the eye. I used the mask as is but I believe that the can also use it when it's warm by heating it in some warm water.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It is recommend to use the mask for 15-20 minutes after which you massage the excess serum into your skin.</div>

<b style="color: #e06666;">What I Thought</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The mask was cooling and refreshing. It definitely felt very hydrating. However, as I didn't have a problem with dryness. I didn't see much of an effect. There was a generous amount of the serum which I could apply to the rest of my face. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Overall it was a nice experience, I would definitely use it as a pick-me-up on days when my eyes are tired.</div>

PapaRich opened it's first Sydney store about a month ago. I've been meaning to visit since its opening, we (me and the bf) decided to finally try it last Saturday, however by the time we got there (was only 6.30-ish) there was a massive line of about 50 people outside. There was no way we would wait in that line, it would probably take hours and we were hungry. So we had Korean food instead, which was nice but I was a little disappointed as I already had my mind set on eating Malaysian food.</div>
<br />
I was in the area once again on Wednesday and was determined to eat at PapaRich. My tactic for the day was to be hungry and ready for dinner by about 5pm. Having had a late brunch at 12, by the time 5 rolled around, I was starving. Fortunately this time there was no line and the restaurant was only half full.<br />

The experience overall was enjoyable. The food was delicious. This is my new favourite place to eat! I look forward to trying the rest of their menu. One thing that I was unhappy about was that it took 30 mins for our food to arrive; it arrived after several tables which put in orders after us. By the time the food arrived, I had turned into a green-eyed monster.<br />

I decided to purchase this after seeing <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/oiseau88" target="_blank">Oiseau88</a> talk about it on her youtube channel. One thing I love about BB creams is that unlike foundations, most them are packed full of benefits for your skin such as whitening and anti-ageing.<br />

<a name='more'></a>The Red Orange Jelly BB is a part of the Red Orange Moisture Sun Base line and is marketed as the perfect BB cream for the summer. The line aims to deliver moisturising products with UV protection against the harmful rays of the sun. The secret ingredient that 'moisturises and smooths skin' is <span style="color: #e69138;">Anthocyanin</span>, an antioxidant. Antioxidants in general has significant benefits for the body: working against infections, modulating inflammation and preventing cellular and tissue damage. However, Anthocyanin is particular has significant benefits for the skin protecting it from cell damage.<br />
<br />
'<i>This flexible jelly pudding BB cream contains moisture rich </i><i>revitalising ingredients from</i><i> orange to keep your skin ultra moisturised and to create a hydrated and jelly-like resilient skin with a smooth finish'</i><br />
<br />
How enticing is that description? The product comes in a sturdy, frosted glass jar. There is no applicator so you would have to dip your fingers or a brush into the jar. I find that it applies on better with my fingers. Since it was a jelly-like texture, you have to make sure to screw the lid on tightly after each use to prevent from drying out.<br />

<span style="color: #e06666;"><b><u>What I Think</u></b></span><br />
<span style="color: #e06666;"><b><u><br /></u></b></span>
The BB cream lives up to its description. It is very light and hydrating on the skin and has a matte finish. It blends into the skin effortlessly and I find that it has medium coverage but is definitely build-able. When I used it in the summer, I found that it was very good at controlling the oils on my T-Zone, I only got a little bit oily after about 4 hours and stays on my skin for 6+ hours.<br />
<br />
One of the negative things about this BB cream is that it can accentuate dry areas. I have been getting breakouts on my chin and areas are getting dry- it is not pretty to look at.<br />
<br />
To be honest I don't find the product itself that much different to the infamous Holika Holika Petit Jelly BB Cream. On a plus side, the Holika Holika comes with a applicator so you won't need to dip anything into the product- however the downside to that is that it is difficult to access the last 10% left in the bottle (I still have that 10% sitting in my cupboard). Whereas, you'd be able to finish up every single little bit of the Red Orange Jelly.<br />
<br />
Sigh. I've had this constant breakout on my chin for a few months now. Nothing seems to work.<br />
Now onto the <b>uglies</b>:<br />

Hi guys!</div>
This is a little different to my previous posts. Today, I will be reliving my very first concert in this post. I tend to shy away from places that are noisy and crowded. Although, when I am in places like the club I do get into the spirit of things. I much rather prefer spending my Friday and Saturday nights curled up with a book in bed or watching re-runs of Friends. I'm a bit of a old lady in that respect.<br />
Sorry if this is boring for those of you who don't know Lee Hom (Taiwan based singer)/ not on this blog for that purpose. But since his concert, the fangirl in me has reemerged. He is truly one of the most down to earth artists. I have been crushing on him since high school: one of the first if not the first Chinese artists I ever listened to. Needless to say, when I heard he was hosting I concert in Sydney, I promptly bought tickets and dragged my boyfriend along. I meant to bring my camera on the day but I forgot :( So we filmed and took photos on an iPhone 5.<br />

It was a gloomy, rainy day. But that didn't dampen out appetite- we went to Fujiya for dinner. We have been wanting to go back for a long long time because of their Eel Friend Rice and Dragon Roll. However, we were a little disappointed this time because it was not as good as we remembered it. I think we were starving the last time we ate here. The last time, we came in a big group so service was extremely slow.<br />

The other day I saw <a href="http://www.dreamdustx.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Louise's</a> Priceline haul. What caught my interest in particular were the Essence nail polishes. I have seen them in stores before but never picked them up because of their price tag. They weren't expensive in fact they are dirt cheap. I was hesitant in trying them because I have picked up cheap nail polishes in the past and were greatly disappointed in them. Subsequently, I threw them away. I dislike throwing unfinished products away, it makes me feel like I am pouring money down the drain even if it is cheap (I know, I know, they have used-by dates). It all adds up.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I'm not sure how long the Snow White and Seven Dwarfs collection has been out but this is the first time I have seen it. This is probably the cutest display I've ever seen. I loved the Disney princesses when I was younger and I still do now. Snow White was possible one of my favourites. The collection consisted of 7 mini nail polishes each named after a dwarf, 3 glitter topper: Evil Queen, The Huntsman and Prince Charming and a bright red: Snow White.</div>

I don't have a solid red polish so I decided ti pick this one up. Snow White is a bright apple red colour. I was impressed with the quality. I found that one coat was opaque enough and the polish dried fairly quickly. $2 really goes a long way with Essence.</div>

I'm a easy target for those people at counters in shopping centres selling and pushing Dead Sea products, with claims of how nourishing and wonderful they are. I whip out my debit card and take home several products, only to be disappointed by the fact that the products did not live up to their claims (they were pretty expensive too!). Now, I've learnt my lesson and try to steer away and avoid eye contact with those people at the counters.<br />
<br />
Back on track... when I saw the Skin79's Sweet Honey Sugar scrub, I had to pick it up. It was right up my alley. I like exfoliators, especially those with the little beads in it- I love the way they feel on my skin.<br />

<br />
<a name='more'></a>What attracted me to this product was definitely it's name: Sweet Honey Sugar- sounds good enough to eat. That alone sold me. Easily impressed?<br />
<br />
What surprised me however was that the main ingredients was not only made up of brown sugar and honey but various oils as well. This only came to my attention whilst I was writing this post. To be honest, if I had know that some the main constituents of this product was oils, I wouldn't have picked it up.<br />

<b><u><span style="color: #e06666;">What it claims</span></u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i>'Skin79's Sweet Honey Sugar Scrub results in the acceleration of the skin's rejuvenation process. The ingredients including brown sugar granulated are neutral and non-irritation and provide a deep cleansing action. This scrub with brown sugar and honey will gently improve impure and dull, dry skin for improved clarity and healthy circulation.'</i></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b style="color: #e06666; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><u>What I Think</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">As expected of a Korean product, it came packaged nicely. It came in a silver box (which I have since thrown away) and appeared quite luxurious (like a high end product). It came with a tiny spoon (which I have lost but have been using with my own plastic spoon) which was to be used to scoop out the product to avoid contamination. It has a pleasant scent; smells and looks exactly like a blend of honey and brown sugar, I get tempted to have a lick but I daren't try because I have a weak stomach.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
This product leaves my skin feeling really soft and supple. The dry patches on my face have disappeared. Initially, I attributed this to the moisturising properties of the honey- I was really impressed. But now that I know that moisturising oils such as Macadamia Nut Oil and Brown Rice Oil are a part of this blend, it makes more sense.<br />
<br />
With that being said, the scrub is quite abrasive (the granules are quite big) so I definitely wouldn't recommend using it more than once a week or if you have sensitive skin. I've only been using it on my face, but I feel that it would do a great job on areas of the body where there are dry patches such as your elbows.<br />

As you can see, I'm almost out of this product but I will definitely repurchase. I'd definitely recommend it to you if you're on the market for a new scrub- it's pretty affordable and is widely available on Ebay.<br />

For the past month, I've been getting really chapped lips. This lip butter does just the trick. Prior, I've been using Maybelline's Baby Lips. It helped but I felt like it wasn't doing enough for my lips. The lip butter is absolutely AH-MA-ZING. I've been slathering this baby on my lips all the time and <span style="text-align: center;">I don't have a problem with chapped lips anymore. </span><span style="text-align: center;">I love how smooth it is on the lips and oh the scent is to die for. I can't smell it at the moment because of a stuffy nose. But I can imagine it. It's one of those scents that you can never forget- smells exactly like caramel popcorn. It's so heavenly on the nose.</span><br />

The only minor issue that I have with this is that you have to use your fingers to apply this. It's a little hassle for me since I don't like applying lip products with my finger, I'd much rather prefer it in a stick form. But it is worth getting my fingers dirty for. I can't wait to get my hand on the other scents.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Hi!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I was recently tagged by <a href="http://mymychen.blogspot.com.au/" target="_blank">Mindy</a> and <a href="http://sparklychee.blogspot.com.au/" target="_blank">Chee</a> the Liebster Award. Check out their blogs! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Having only recently just starting up this blog, being nominated to do this tag makes me feel accepted. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I'm sure most of you know what this award entails. The gist of it is to encourage new bloggers (who have 200 or less readers) to continue blogging and also a way to learn more about the blogger.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="line-height: 21px; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><u>Rules to the Award:</u></span></span><br />
<span style="line-height: 21px;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">1. Each blogger should answer the questions the tagger has set for you.</span></span><br />
<span style="line-height: 21px;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">2. Choose 11 new bloggers to pass the award onto and link them in your post.</span></span><br />
<span style="text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">3. Create 11 new questions for the chosen bloggers.</span></span><br />
<span style="text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">4. Go back to their page and tell them about the award.</span></span><br />
<span style="text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">5. Each blogger should post 11 random facts about themselves.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">6. No tag-backs!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Now onto 11 random facts about me:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><b style="line-height: 21px;">1. </b><span style="line-height: 21px;">I am scared/dislike of birds. The main reason is because I find them dirty and Hitchcock's Birds was scarred me. (Sorry if I offend any bird enthusiasts) The main birds I dislike are: pigeons (I've been pooped on by them on a number of occasions), seagulls (they have creepy eyes that don't blink- look like those creepy eye stickers), ibises (they have weird beaks and always digging through bins) and the Noisy Miner (these things may be small but they're so aggressive- I've been attacked on several occasion while walking through the park minding my own business)- that's my rant for today. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 21px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 21px;"><b>2. </b>My favourite colour is pink. I love pink anything. If it's pink- I'll love it.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 21px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 21px;"><b>3.</b> I love food. I don't think I'm a picky eater (my bf thinks otherwise), the only thing I won't eat is bittermelon. I love foods such as durian and stinky tofu which not a lot of people like.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 21px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 21px;"><b>4. </b>I have eaten scorpion before. It was deep fried and tasted like chips.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 21px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 21px;"><b>5. </b>I am (ashamed to say) a goody goody two shoes. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 21px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 21px;"><b>6. </b>I am introverted- well, careful with who I befriend. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 21px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><b style="line-height: 21px;">7. </b><span style="line-height: 21px;">I LOVE shopping. I don't necessarily have to buy anything, walking around a shopping centre alone will get me on a natural high.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 21px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 21px;"><b>8. </b>I've always had a pet/s growing up- dogs, cats, birds (eww), turtles, lizards and at one stage even a grasshopper. Don't ask me why. My dad loves animals and insects too apparently.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 21px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 21px;"><b>9. </b>I love TV shows with guts and gory. In particular forensic investigations such as Bones. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 21px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 21px;"><b>10. </b>I love green tea flavoured anything: ice cream, froyo, candy. You name it, I love it.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 21px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 21px;"><b>11</b>. I'm currently fighting off a bad cold.</span></span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="line-height: 18px; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Candy. In my diet, candy would be a food group. I especially like hard boiled candies.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="line-height: 18px; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">For a long time I hope. I have trouble committing to one thing for a long time e.g. diets. Hopefully this would be different.</span></div>

<div style="line-height: 18px; text-align: left;">
Loyal, sensitive and stubborn.</div>

<div style="line-height: 18px; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Probably offering me their seat on the train.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="color: #e06666;"><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> 5. </span><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Do you play an instrument? if yes what is it?</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I played the flute and piano.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="line-height: 18px; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I don't really have a favourite. But I like Korean and Japanese products.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #e06666;"><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> 7. </span><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">What is one makeup product you can't live without?</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Probably BB cream. I usually only have BB cream on.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="line-height: 18px; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I would say phone and laptop. But I'm guessing a deserted island won't have electricity... Probably, lot's of candies and my boyfriend (he'll find solutions to everything, I wouldn't need anything else)</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="line-height: 18px; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Hmm, don't really have one favourite song. But recently discover Mindy Gledhill and have her Anchor album on repeat.</span></div>

<div style="line-height: 18px; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I like books with a historical background. </span></div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"> 11.Who do you admire/is inspired by?</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I guess my mother. She came immigrated from China all by herself leaving her family behind. I admire at how hard she works to give me and my siblings a privileged</span><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> life. No matter how tired she is, she always cooks us homemade dinners. She doesn't like store bought food. </span></div>

As many have said 'the eyes are the windows to our soul'. Let me just put it out there, I'm not very good at using eyeshadow. Everytime I put them on, it looks like a strange mess on me. I am so jealous of those of you who are adept with using eyeshadows, thus I am always on a lookout for a nice all-over-the-lid colour. When I saw these Missha Jewel Star eyeshadows, I was excited to try them as they incorporated two of the things I look for in eyeshadows: easy to use and sparkly (I love bling :P).<br />

As with most Korean products, the components of the eyeshadow are made with beneficial and nourishing ingredients. One thing I found interesting is that the 'Jewels' are actually made from Ruby, Amethyst and Pearl.<br />

The product comes in sturdy glass jars. The product itself is a dense mousse which glides on smoothly on the lids. You would definitely use your fingers to apply this. A brush would either pick up too little or too much of the product.<br />

There is not much colour to these- mostly shimmer. Therefore a little bit goes a long way where shimmer is concerned. The swatches below were with a heavy hand in attempt to distinguish the difference between the two. Champagne Pink appears to be just shimmer whilst Havana Coral has a slight orange tinge.</div>

Champagne Pink on the lids was just a shimmery mess. I think that this product would probably be better as an inner corner or over another eyeshadow.</div>

Havana Coral provided a subtle wash of coral to the eyes with a lot of shimmer. This would be a more appropriate all over the lid colour but I didn't like the crazy amount of shimmer.</div>

Overall, the two colours I picked out didn't impress me. I guess this is because I picked out colours from the Glow line (/perhaps it is my lack of ability to utilise eyeshadows). The formulation of the product however is really nice. I loved the mousey consistency and how smoothly it glided on the skin. I would definitely try the 3 in the Colour line because of these reasons.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

I added some social media links, however, they are still a work in progress- I made new accounts because noone (except my younger sister) knows I'm blogging yet.</div>

I'm here with a review of something that I have been using for the past month or so:</span><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> </span><span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; text-decoration: underline;">Holika Holika's 3" Seconds Starter Hyaluronic Acid</span><br />
<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; text-decoration: underline;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">As Australia is entering into winter, my skin becomes more parched. Especially since I have mild eczema, it can definitely get uncomfortable sometimes. I purchased this product hoping to avoid this discomfort this winter. Having used this for quite sometime, I think I have enough faith to say that I am confident in what I have to say about this product. </span><br />

<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">What is Hyaluronic Acid?</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Hyaluronic acid is a substance that is found naturally in the body with higher concentrations found in our joints and in the eyes. Although, there is not much evidence to support this- it is widely regarded as the 'fountain of youth' for its anti-aging and hydrating properties. What makes hyaluronic acid so special is that it can hold 1000 times its weight in water. Now that is some serious hydration.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<h4>
<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">
Holika Holika 3" Seconds Starter Hyaluronic Acid</span></h4>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">The concept behind this product is the 3 second rule. What is the 3 second rule you ask. The 3 second rule refers to the the 3 second period that you have straight after cleansing in which you should apply any serum or creams for optimal retention of moisture in your skin. The skin begins to lose moisture as soon as you stop cleansing. Since the pores are opened up, moisture is able to dissipate fairly quickly, thus to trap the moisture within the skin, we should moisturise ASAP.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<h4>
<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">
How I Use It</span></h4>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I have been using this both day and night. After cleansing the face, I will apply the Hyaluronic Acid, after the acid has been about 80% absorbed, I'll either apply a serum or a moisturiser to seal it in. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<h4>
<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">
Results</span></h4>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I've been using this for about a month. The formula is light and is absorbed quickly by the skin. It also has a nice scent which is light and refreshing.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I haven't a dramatic difference or improvement in my skin in terms of hydration, in fact my skin has become a little drier which i found quite surprising.

<br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Looking the ingredient list with ethanol being the second most prominent ingredient in this product made me understand. Ethanol is a <u>drying</u> ingredient thus it seems counterintuitive to include it in a product which is supposed to hydrate the skin.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>What I Think</b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Overall, I'm disappointed in this product. It did not work well for my skin unfortunately. It might work with extremely oily skin, might hydrate it without it being too oily.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I have given this product to my sister who has oily skin to try. If anyone with oily skin wants to know how it worked for her leave a comment and I'll ask for her opinion. :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">In terms of hyaluronic acid's I might try Hado Labo's Super Hyaluronic Acid- their ingredient's list looks a little more promising. Has anyone tried this and would you recommend it?</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Hey Everyone!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">This is my first review post and I'm going to review a product which I've been using for a year or two now; The Laneige Water Sleeping Pack. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I must admit, I'm addicted face mask. I'm on a constant look out for new ones to try out and buy. Needless to say I hoarded enough to last me a lifetime.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">My first experience with sleeping masks was given to me by my cousins in a sample pack of Laneige Water Bank products. I fell in love immediately with the sleeping mask and have trialled ones from other brands (such as Skin79) but this was the one I kept coming back to.</span></div>

<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Song Hye Kyo is the brand ambassador. She is absolutely gorgeous! Her skin is so radiant and flawless- who could resist not trying this out?</span></span></h4>

<h4 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">What are sleeping masks?</span></h4>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">The conventional facial masks such as clay and sheet masks are used on a clean face. The sleeping masks are designed to be left on through the night as the last step of your night time skincare regime. The benefits of sleeping masks rely on the skin's response to circadian rhythms. During the night, the permeability of the skin is higher than during the day. This means that any product that is applied to your face will be absorbed better at night.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">The Laneige Water Sleeping Pack is advertised as a hydrating and brightening mask. The core components of the mask is Beta-glucan (which has <u>skin regeneration</u> effects), Ceremide SLN (which <u>prevents moisture loss</u>), Hunza Apricot Extract (<u>purifies the skin</u>) and Chestnut Extract (<u>improve the skin's texture by eliminating dead skin cells</u>).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">The product is a light blue water based- gel. When applied on the face it provides a soothing and cooling sensation. ( I store this product in the fridge to prolong the life of the product and for an extra kick of cool-ness) The scent is very pleasant- it was specifically designed to relax 'the body and mind for a good night's sleep'. The patented scent formula comprises of essential oils from orange flower, rose, ylang ylang, sandalwood etc.</span><br />

<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">How I Use It</span></h4>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">The packaging recommends the mask to be used once till twice a week. For me, since I have a lot of sheet facial masks and mud masks, I use this mask when I'm too lazy or tired to apply those ones or as a 'pick-me-up' when my skin feels a little dehydrated. With that being said, I have heard of those who use this product on a daily basis as a night cream, whether or not the skin will grow a tolerance to it, however, I don't know.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I use only a pea size amount, which is just enough to cover my face with the thinnest layer of the product. I find that anything more than that tends to make my face feel overly sticky and uncomfortable. Since it is the last step of the skincare regime, I feel like this mask sort of seals in all the goodness and prevents all the goodness that I applied previously from dissipating (as silly as that sounds).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />

<h4 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Results</span></h4>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">The morning after, you'll wake up with a slightly oily film on your face. However, don't be alarmed. This film is easily wash off with some warm water, leaving behind hydrated and smooth skin. However, I would still recommend using a moisturiser. </span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">The brightening effects of this mask is not obvious. So if you are looking for a brightening mask in particular, this is probably not the one for you. However, for those who want a boost in hydration, you'll love this mask- your skin will just drink in all the yummy goodness.</span></div>
