Quick Post | Favourite Lip Balms

Quick post on same of my favourite lip balms.

But first how cute is this kitty pouch. I saw it on ebay and i couldn't resist buying it, at the moment i don't even have a use for it but it was to adorable to say no.

First up is my all time favourite Carmex. I always go back around to this one as it always works the best for me. Fixes chapped lips in no time and says on for a long while.

Burts Bees is just as great as Carmex and works just as well.

Etude House has some adorable packaging super cute and girly. This is great for summer time as it's not a harsh working as Carmex but still does the job.

Small Haul | Korean Beauty Products

I decided to treat myself to some more facemasks and while i was looking bought some other stuff.

As I've tried a product with snail secretion in it before and really like it i figured the facemasks would be wonderful for my dried out winter skin. The last product with snail secretion was Mizon gel cream, which you can read a review here. Also bought eye cream with snail secretion as i battle with dark circles and figured this would work. Which is the same brand as the gel cream. I bought the green tea facemaks because i know that it's supposed to be good for your skin, worth a try i figured. I've just used one and my skin feels good, i will do a review on it soon. The whipping multi cream was not as expected as it's supposed to last 5 days, guess I'll find out. 

Then just some eyeliner as i know Etude House do some long lasting liners.

Have you tried Korean products?

Favourites; Lipbalms

It has been a while since I did a beauty post, so I figured I would do one today on my current favourite lipbalms. These are the one that I think work the best, so far. 

Carmex remains to be my all time favourite. It just does exactly what it says and works wonders during the winter. Now they even have a green tea one, which of course I had to buy but I lost it. 

Blistex hasn't really been a brand I had used before but I enjoy this orange mango blast one. It smells divine! If I could I'd wear it as a perfume. It helps with dry lips and lasts a while.

Cocoa Butter is a new try for me, had this around a month and I do like it, this probably comes in last after the others. It helps but doesn't last as long but it tastes good.

Burt's Bees is never going to leave my little collection. It's on par with carmex. I find myself reaching for this along with carmex once I've having chapped lips, it does sting at first but I like that as it makes me think it's actually working.

Etude House are just good all around. Much better than some of the others I own. Does it's job. 

Korean BB Creams I Want To Try

Three Korean BB Creams i want to try. I've had these in my watch list for quite a while now. I love Etude House products but I've haven't got around to trying their BB creams yet. Soon i will and I'll start with their Precious Mineral BB Cream. Over all this seams like just a normal nice BB cream to use and it isn't too expensive. It's also supposed to include seaweed, that's interesting.

Next i want to try the Missha Perfect Cover BB cream. Ever since i started using BB creams this is one I've always wanted to try. It's one that people recommend a lot, it costs a little more than other BB creams i have. But a lot of people give it good reviews so i will at some point try it.

Lioele is a brand I've wanted to try from the beginning too. But yet again they cost a little more too. The one i want to try from them is the Beyond The Solution BB Cream. It's supposed to be long lasting, so that might come in handy in the summer. Since i hope to spend a lot of it out and about.

There is a lot more i want to try, but these are the ones i hope to buy next. I really shouldn't since i already have four in rotation. But a girl can never have to many right? 

Is there any BB creams you want to try?

Four Korean Beauty Products I Want To Try

 As you may know i love using Korean beauty products and i'm always looking for new ones to try. These are a few that are on my buy next list. The packaging looks simple and clean. I really like the TonyMoly pot, the leaves on the lid give a cute look without going over board.

I want to try the The Face Shop simple step melting cleanser because from the what it says it will melt through your makeup and leave your face nice and clean. Anything that makes makeup removing easier is something i need to buy.

Etude House Moistfull Cream is on my list because it's supposed to moisturise the face and create a layer that locks in moisture. Which will be amazing for my dry skin.

Tonymoly Clean Dew Broccoli Sprout Cleansing Cream also made the list because i saw a review on it and it sounded amazing. It's supposed to cleanse your skin leaving it healthy and revitalised.

I'd like to try Innisfree Green Tea Pure Lotion since it has green tea in it, which i know is good for the skin. It's supposed to revive dry stressed skin leaving it moisturised.

Is there any Korean products you want to try?

EtudeHouse Essence Mask Vitamin E Review

Another facemask review, if you didn't know i love facemasks. I figured it's pointless because to show the actual facemask because they all look the same. It's a sheetmask.

What it says:

Vitamin E for Anti-Wrinkling & Moisturising and to promote skin vitality and elasticity.

I liked this facemask, as i do with most. It's a good treat for the face and always helps a little. After using it my face feels smoother and softer. It didn't do anything for the current breakout i have going on. But my face did feel bouncer. My skin felt moisturised and hydrated. The smell to me was okay, nothing to harsh. 

You can buy one here if you want.

I will be giving on of these away soon.

Etude House GreenTea Nose Pack Review

First how cute is the packaging? Etude House always have girly packaging thought.

I've used other nose packs in the past and this isn't any different really. There isn't much English written on it. The little it does have says it removed oil and pore deep sebum. 

To use:

Wet your nose with water

Remove from clear film and fasten adhesive side to nose

Remove when dry.

The way to use it is the same as all others. There is a slight smell, it's not a bad smell, but it doesn't really smell like green tea like i thought it would. It doesn't hurt when pulling it off unlike with other nose packs I've used in the past. I think it's because it doesn't stick very well. It doesn’t irritate the skin. It doesn't pull much out and i didn't notice any disgusting stuff on the strip after. Like with most nose packs i don't see much of a difference with my nose after using it. My nose does feel cleaner and softer though.

I may buy them again to stock up on them for when I'm having a bad nose day. But they aren't very good. They were cheap, as i managed to get a pack of five on ebay.

You can buy 5 for £3.15 here

Etude House I Need You Cucumber Sheet Mask Review

Etude House is a Korean brand and very famous. I bought this on ebay. 

I love using facemasks, its relaxing and really does help your skin. 

What is says:

This essence mask contains cucumber extract that smooths and moisturizes, quickly revitalizing dry and exhausted skin with its application.

My skin was exhausted what with all the traveling and less sleep i've been getting the past few weeks, so i was in need of a mask like this and I am in love with it. It has to be one of the best i've used.

It left my skin feeling super soft, smooth and hydrated. It helped alot with dryness and even after two days my skin still feels hydrated. My pores look reduced too. I would buy this again.

Ebay Haul

Over the last month-ish i've bought a few things from ebay. Mainly Korean beauty products. I will do a review on everything eventually, i haven't started to use them yet, i was waiting for them all to come, since they all come at different times.

TonyMoly, Etude House, Skin Food products.

I love the travel contact case, it's cute and compact perfect for me. I couldn't resist buying the pill pens because i always forget pens, so i bought them to chuck in my bag.

I can't be bothered to list every seller, so if there is something you want to look at/buy just ask for the link in the comments section and i will give you it.

What i love about buying Korean products is the amount of samples you are given. Which is what the last photo is.

If all my makeup disappeared...

So i saw this on peoples blogs, and it looked fun. So...

I know the photo is sideways... But ooh well.

The idea behind this is, if you woke up one morning and ALL of your makeup had vanished. And what you would go and repurchase.

You're supposed to choose 10 items, but if i did that then there would be more than one bb cream on here. I really don't wear that much makeup.

1) Skin Food Mushroom BB Cream - Now i wouldn't be able to go out and buy it in a shop, since i don't live in Korea. But i only use Korean BB Creams and not foundation, since i can't find a foundation here to match my skin tone. I love this BB Cream, it's not my favourite but i can't find my skin79 one... It does the job well and stays put.

2) Collection 2000 light diffusing concealer - It does a good job at hiding my dark under eye circle, and it doesn't cost a lot.

3) Palgantong powder - This is another one i couldn't go out to the shop and buy, i believe it's from Singapore. It's good for summer to hold my bb cream longer. I got it in a pack i think. I can't remember.

4) Maybelline eyestudio lasting drama gel liner - This stays put all day! It goes on smooth and is easy to remove, one of my favourite liners.

5) Rimmel black eyeshadow - I use this to go over my liner to make it last longer, it isn't a dark black, but it does what i need it to do.

6) Carmex lip balm - This is one of my favourites to use, it's amazing and works very well. The best thing to use during winter.

7) Rimmel exaggerate waterproof eye definer - It's good, it's waterproof, it lasts a while.

8) Etude House Proof 10 - Again i couldn't go out and buy this, but it's what i use so... It lasts all day and the colour is amazing.

I kind of ran out of products. What would be your picks to buy if your makeup magically disappeared?

Etude House Daily Face Masks Review

Etude House Daily Mask Review.

They are designed to be used daily to promote skin vitality and elasticity. It includes 20 sheets and comes in a handy reliable box.
There is even English on the back of the box as well as Korean.

 

 These face masks include.

• Yeast

• Vitamin C

•  Acne Control

• Anti-Wrinkle

• Skin Tone Correction

There was three types to choose from and i choose this one since it's for spot prone skin. Since i suffer from breakouts i figured these would be the best choice. I love using face masks but the ones i find in the UK don't seam to have any acne control so this is a bonus.
They smell nice, leave the face feeling moisturised and soft as well as smooth. They also reduce pores.
You have to be careful when pulling out the sheets though, the first time i poked a hole in one of them since they are so thin. But they are covered in a lot of product.

As for the price i payed £10 for this. When you work it out it's only 50p per sheet mask. Which is cheep considering the ones here are 3 for £2.
Over all i love these masks and would say they are one of the best I've tried.As for the price i payed £10 for this. When you work it out it's only 50p per sheet mask. Which is cheep considering the ones here are 3 for £2.

The masks do seam to be a tad big though, hence the folds.

Etude House Proof 10 Jewerly Pencil #3 Metallic Aqua

This is my first Etude House eyeliner.

This product is endorsed by 2NE1. If you don't know who they are, they are a Korean pop group. They are amazing :)

I really like the packaging, it's so shiney :)

The pencil its self is not one that you need to sharpen, it's a twisty one. Like Rimmel Exaggerate Eye Definer. Which makes it better to use, since you don't need to sharpen it. It even comes with a sharpner on the end, the blue bit pulls out. Not that you need it.

It's creamy and glides on easy. It says you can use it as a eye shadow, but i'v not tried that.

The colour is pigmented. 

It says it will last for 24hours. It really does last all day. I thought it would last for a few hours then start to fade. But it doesn't.

It is water proof, so if you were in the rain or cry you would be fine, but i'd say you couldn't go swiming with it on. I swached it on my hand and hold it under water while rubbing it, and most of it rubbed of, but some of it stayed.

No worry's if you can't read Korean, like me, there is english on one side of the box.

Overall - I love this eyeliner, and i will be buying more. I would recomend this to anyone.
