[MiniReview&Giveaway] Clearasil Vitamins and Extracts Daily Wash and Mask

-Product talk by Nuffnang- Hello! How is everyone today? Hope you guys have enjoyed your weekends!
A few days ago, I was sent the Clearasil Vitamins and Extracts Wash and Mask to try out and I am here today to give you a mini review. 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.  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.

[Review] Maybelline Colorsensational Vivid Lipsticks

Hello! How is everyone? 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. 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.

[Review] Innisfree Olive Heating Massage Mask

Good day lovelies!

How has everyone been lately? Hope you are all enjoying your weekend!

I recently picked up some skincare products from online. One of the products that immediately caught my attention was this Innisfree Olive Heating Mask. 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. 

[Mini review] Some swatches from Chemist Warehouse haul

Hello blogosphere! A few weeks back, I did a Chemist Warehouse haul, I am back today with some swatches and a mini review on each of the eye products (excluding mascara).

[Review] Etude House Real Art Cleansing Oil Moisture

Hi lovelies! Hope everyone is well :) I'm looking forward to the long weekend ahead. I will finally have some time to blog a bit more.  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) 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.

1st Month-sary Giveaway!

Hiii!

I'm very excited to post this up. As you can probably guess from the image above, I will be hosting a giveaway! 

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.

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. 

One thing I love about the blogosphere is that all the girls (and guys) are all so very nice and supportive. 

Without further ado, I'll introduce you to the products that I will be giving away.

[Review] Rimmel Lasting Finish by Kate

The weather in Sydney has been ugly. 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?

Anyway, I am back with a short review on the Rimmel lipstick I bought in my Chemist Warehouse haul: Rimmel Lasting Finish by Kate in #16.

[Review] Tony Moly Blackhead Out Oil Gel

Hello! 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.

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.

[Review] Naruko's Rose &Snow Fungus Aqua Cubic Moisturiser

Hey guys! How is everyone?

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. 

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 here.

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.

[Haul] Chemist Warehouse

Hi everyone! How is everybody's day going so far?
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, Chermaine recently blogged about a 50% off special on all makeup items and I immediately made a beeline to my local Chemist Warehouse.
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 :)

May Wishlist

I noticed that a lots of bloggers do a monthly wishlist on products that they are lusting over and decided to do one for this month. There have been a lot of items that I have been drooling this month (most of them quite pricey).

[Mini Review] MG Water Cycling Eye Mask

Hi guys, today I will be reviewing an eye mask. 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.

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.

[Lifestyle] Gluttony of the Week #1

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.

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.

[Review] Skinfood Red Orange Jelly BB

Hey guys, I'm back today with a review of the BB cream I'm currently loving at the moment: Skinfood's Red Orange Jelly BB cream with SPF20PA++. I decided to purchase this after seeing Oiseau88 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.

[Lifestyle] Throwback: Lee Hom Music Man II Concert in Sydney + Mini Essence Haul

Hi guys!

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.
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.

[Review] Skin79's Sweet Honey Scrub

I love products that appear to be 'au naturale'. 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.

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.

[Review] Nivea Lip Butter

I've always loved Nivea's lip balms especially the Milk and Honey and the light blue one. I have heard a lot of great things about the Nivea Lip Butter's and have been searching for them for a long time. About a week ago, I found it! It was the very last one in Priceline: Nivea Lip Butter in Caramel Cream. I'm just going to do a mini review/rave about it.

Dr Dougal approves!

[Review] Missha Jewel Star Eyes

I believe that the eyes are the most important feature of our face. 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).
