I am a person who loves finding new things in life - I love to explore delicacies of food & culture. I enjoy being around like-minded people especially those who make me laugh!
Feels like autumn is here in the UK although we are still in august! I have already started to wear my autumn clothes including coats and scarfs lol! It is so cold and raining quite a lot these days!
Luckily for me, I am off work this weekend and spending time with my
Boyfriend so of course we are outdoors and that means there's photos of my outfits via all my social networks!
I just LOVE matte furnishing's on anything!! cars, tables, plates, books, nails!! I just think it's such a clever idea to have matte nails!!
It gives it that extra classy and sophisticated look and I love the feel on it on my nails! I can't stop looking at them! lol!
It's so simple to do and the results are amazing!!
You can use alsorts of colours and patterns and them making it matte afterwards simply by using a matte polish over the top of your nails.
I decided to use this hot pink colour as a base, perfect colour for the summer!!
34 - Mauva Flash
You can use any colour you wish, any brand, at any price. It doesn't need to be anything expensive but be aware that cheaper polishes can damage the nails and cause staining! Make sure you use a good polish remover too!
This polish was from a UK drugstore called Superdrug which can be found in every city or you can purchase online.
£1.99 from Superdrug ,t here are a choice of colours and a huge choice of brands.
This is the magic formula by China Glaze, it was a gift from one of my youtube friends Emily, she got me this when we did a swap a few years back!
I don't often paint my nails but my toe nails I do quite often but when I get the chance I do paint my nails.
Different brands do the matte polish in their collection, which allows you to have different effects, prices do vary but I would recommending getting a good branded polish because some may not be as effective as others, and drying time can take longer which means you are more prone to it smudging!
What I did was I ensured my nails were filed to the shape I wanted. My nails are naturally long and squared tip so I just tidied them up abit by using my manicure set.
I then applied the pink polish on top of my nails, using 2 coats on each nail, it gave my nails the look I wanted.
Once the nails are dried and not wet looking, I applied the magic matte clear polish over my nails, using just one coat on top of my nails and allowing it to dry would give me the perfect matte finish.
If you take a look at the index finger, the nail is matte and the rest are shiny. This is the matte effect.
beautiful matte finish
Here is the finished look!! The colour is still bright not but shiny!
Fancy using a designer brand on your skin! I think it's a wonderful idea that a successful designer has their own line of skin care and make up! I have never owned Chanel garment or accessories before but I have tried a few of their beauty products before.
I wasn't too sure if I would be addicted into buying Chanel's skin care/cosmetics due to the brand and the beautiful packaging, I haven't been hooked but I did go through a phase of wanting to badly purchase everything! haha!! I started to research about the products and decided to try one of their best products, which is this exfoliating mousse cleanser.
I like to try different brands of skin care as well as make up, to experience what they have to offer. I enjoy peoples reviews about what they have tried, there has been a lot of negative reviews about Chanel's skin care due to the price but then again, you don't actually need a lot of the product for the result. If I purchase a luxurious item I try to divide it by 3 (break down price for 3 years) or if it's skin care then break it down by 12 to give me the break down of cost per month.
I love the simple packaging, this is thick plastic abit like the type of packaging for toothpaste. I like how pristine their packaging looks, it looks amazing in my bathroom lol!
The formula is a pearlescent soft creamy-like light mousse, white-grey in colour with a heavy scent of fresh flowers. If you are someone who likes the smell of flowers then you may love this!
This is suitable for oily-combination skin.
I have never used a cleanser that foams up so much! A little bit goes a
long way, I have used this on and off for the last 2 years as my skin
changes throughout the year due to weather and hormones. I would say, it has lasted me for 2 solid summers!
I use about half of this amount usually
I use a face pad to wash my face as I find it easier to blend onto my skin and can avoid the excess oils from my finger tips! You can purchase these from beauty drug stores in Hong Kong or ebay.com.
I initially have sensitive skin and this tends to harm my skin in the winter time. I feel that it washes my natural oils out so I only use it in the hot season wherever I am. It helps to wash away the excess oil and always gives my face that squeaky clean feeling, it even squeaks!
I use to have that feeling every time I used the creamy cleanser, it makes my skin feel slightly tight and shiny which I don't like but it depends what you want from a cleanser. For me, I don't like irritated skin before and after using any skin products, this let me down in this respect. When we sleep, our skin dehydrates, I feel that I need to use a rich night cream to retain the hydration on my face, this cleanser makes me feel like my skin's natural oils has been washed away and it becomes flaky especially in the colder seasons.
After using it, my make up is not all removed, my skin feels tight and sometimes red, it feels refreshed and smells nice too!
I wash my face twice a day, morning and night before bed. I use the same cleanser and I change my whole regime products every season or if my skin is irritated from anything I use. I have learnt to understand which products to use and when. I hate having irritated skin, especially because my skin is sensitive and a combination of normal-dry.
Did you know that poor skin care can lead to early signs of ageing? You are more prone to fine lines, dull complexion, large open pores, wrinkles, and deep scar tissues? I can guarantee you will be screaming for help when you need to have clear skin for the next big occasion! Remember: prevention is better than cure! Treat it now rather than later!
I use this mousse cleanser as step 1 in my beauty skin care regime, then I tone, cleanse and moisturise.
Step 1 is important as it helps to wash away excess oils, deep clean the epidermis. Using a good quality cleanser can repair itself at night and that is why it works the hardest whilst you sleep!
The exfoliating beads are small and help to make the skin glow as it gets rid of dead skin cells which hang over your face, the naked eye can see this. It ensures your face is fully cleansed and gives it that fresh squeaky feel!This would really benefit those who have large open pores as it really deep cleanses inside those pores and prevents black heads.
I apply this to my soft face pad and exfoliating this in a circular motion to help get rid of dead skin cells and remove my make up and dirt from the epidermis.
check out this article on why not having clean skin before bed is bad for you? Takes just 3 minutes of your time before bed can make SUCH a difference!
For £38.00 there is 150ml / 5 fl. oz of product which doesn't sound like a lot but in actual fact you only need to use a little bit as it foams up a lot. Available at any Chanel counter in department stores or online. The consistency is thick, but smooth and foamy when it becomes wet, it glides softly onto the skin and exfoliates at the same time. There isn't much exfoliating beads which is good as it isn't too harmful for the skin, especially sensitive skin.
Ingredients benefits:
TULIP TREE EXTRACT, selected for its anti-pollution effect.
The
Tulip Tree has been planted in cities worldwide in an effort to help
de-pollute the air. The tree’s shiny green leaves are covered with a
protective wax that traps pollutants, which are then washed away when it
rains. CHANEL PRÉCISION Cleansers and Toners utilize Tulip Tree Extract
to remove impurities caused by pollution and protect the integrity of
skin’s natural defense barriers. This helps to prevent free radical
damage, which can lead to premature aging.
BIOGLUCANE
boosts the cleansing action of Tulip Tree Extract and helps balance the
skin without stripping its natural barrier, heightening the depolluting
power of each formula in the collection.
This is suitable for those who travel a lot , because there are a lot of dirt collected into the pores and this product would help to cleanse effectively!
Pro's:
scent smells great
clean feeling
soft formula
bottle stands upright which means gravity will let the product drop down
exfoliating beads helps to deep clean in the open pores
glamorous packaging
definitely is 'rich-foaming' formula
Con's:
squeaky clean sound on the face after using it
strips away my natural oils way too much, my skin becomes irritated especially in the colder seasons
doesn't remove every trace of my make up, I still have to use my cleansing cream and toner afterwards
makes my skin feel tight, needing a rich moisturiser afterwards to calm the redness
comes in one size only
I have enjoyed using this product more in the summer time than the winter, just because my skin needs that extra TLC during colder seasons. I don't feel that my skin benefits as much as I thought it would and I wouldn't purchase it again. I would recommend it to my beauties who like soft foaming cleansers with a luxurious feel on their skin. It's a great gift idea or a treat for their skin care regime.
To me, it just hasn't lived up to it's expectations , hence why I have used it on and off for 2 years now.
Finding the right product for your skin is just as important as knowing how much SPF we need to cover our skin before it becomes damaged. Not many people care and not so many understand about the products they are using. I like to read and understand the ingredients of every product that goes on my skin, especially when it comes to sun protection on my face.
Now that it is summer time, I always use a higher sun factor. All year round I use at least SPF 15, summer time I have SPF 35 minimum. I try not to sit out in the sun for too long as I can burn easily and have tan marks all over my body (which can last for quite a few months), and also my dark spots can grow bigger.
Our tissue cells can become cancerous and before you see the signs, it is too late to cure. That is what I am afraid of - knowing I cannot turn back time to un-do my mistakes therefore I use at least SPF 15 on my face/skin every single day, even in the winter time when it is dark. There are harmful UVA and UVB rays that damage our skin and they are invisible. UVA rays go deep into the dermis, and the UVB rays hit the surface of the dermis! When we use SPF , the rays reflect from it and protect the epidermis (the surface of the skin).
It certainly is very difficult to find a higher SPF 20 for the face in the market! You cannot just use your regular sun tan lotion for your face purely because your face needs more TLC as it is damaged every single day that you are living, yes, even when you cannot see the sun. The harmful UVA and UVB rays are constantly circulating around us, we don't see them but our skin feels the pain.
By using SPF 35, it means it protects your skin 35 times more than your usual time before you get burnt. For instance, it takes about 10 minutes for my skin to become burnt without SPF, so if I use SPF 35, it would make me last in the sun for 350 minutes (almost 6 hours) before I burn and complain lolz.
I use SPF 15 on my face in the winter and cover up the rest of my body, even though I am indoors most of the time, I am protecting my skin from the harmful UVA and UVB rays up to 15 times before it causes my skin any problems. Just because you cannot see the damage straight away, it doesn't mean there are no problems, later on you will see the effects, whether it is freckles, dark spots or redness to the skin.
People with light eyes or hair, who sunburn easily or do not tan have an increased risk of skin cancer and also malignant melanoma is almost twice as common in young women (up to age 34) as in young men, but more men die from it. (cancerresearch.co.uk). I have always believed that protection is better than cure, it only takes a minute to apply the sun factor on.
When we go abroad on holiday or on a long weekend break, we apply sun lotion, so why not when you are back home? What difference does it make?
For some people, cost is always the main issue but in actual fact, it costs more for health care and the inconvenience of pain. There is a choice of long term damage VS costs, I would rather chose paying that little bit more to prevent worsening health.
For some people, they have allergies to SPF products, that can be discussed with your dermatologist of experts of products. There are always product email address and websites to give you information about their products.
When it comes to lotion for my face or body, I look for these main things:
cost
ingredients
benefits
SPF
consistency
scent
I discovered Nu Skin and their products this year when I found the Galvanic Spa Machine and understanding what it did to my skin. I was very suprised to see there was an SPF 35 lotion for the face as well as the body and I bought it straight away!
I was super excited to try the product on myself as I had read a few testimonials on how great the product was and the active ingredients.
open lid at the bottom of the tube makes sure you get all your product out
For £19, there is 100ml/3.4fl. oz of the product in the tube. The product stays upright which means when it comes to the end of using up the cream, gravity lets the product come out of the tube downwards. I love it when products come out at the bottom of the bottom rather than the top, it's such a hassle to use up all of the products! We all fight to use up everything - don't deny it! lolz!
The flip top cap is very easy to open and usually by now the caps snap off but I have used this over 10 times and had no problems with it!
Pro's:
suitable for face and body - it hasn't irritated my face at all and I have very sensitive skin.
bottle is stood upright
only need a little bit for the face and neck - a little goes a long way!
water resistant and allows up to 80 minutes of uninterrupted water play before you should apply
packaging does not melt in the sun - I have before had the tubes melt due to the heat which isn't good for the products as it can be cancerous
does not stain clothes
suitable for children over 6 months old so it can be used for the whole family
does not make the skin oily even out in the sun
Con's:
Just available in 1 size only
the highest SPF available is just the 35
there is a slight refreshing scent to this product but it wears off once it is soaked into the skin
I apply this as a base after my skin care regime in the morning, then my make up over. It hasn't caused my skin to become dry or oily, which is an important factor as it can make the skin look too unhealthy and cause break outs as well as the make up to smudge. I also use my moisture mist spray over my face to set my make up.
There are active ingredients which make this product unique:
Mentha piperita(peppermint leaf extract) - a skin-soothing extract that helps reduce skin sensitivity and promotes a feeling of well-being.
Green tea extracts(Tēgreen97®) - a proprietary extract of green tea catechins, which are powerful antioxidants that scavenge cell-damaging free radicals.
SeaLastin -helps protect the skin’s support structures, promoting healthy collagen and elastin levels for skin suppleness.
Heat shock proteins -a unique technology that enhances the skin’s ability to protect against heat and UV stress, ensuring optimum cellular health.
I use this as my 3rd step to my face regime in the morning (tone, cleanse then moisturise)
I use a small amount to cover my face then massage it gently into my neck in an upwards and outwards motion, this lets gravity make my face become more uplifted. As we grow old, we grow south!!
From the first use of this lotion, I have found that the product has been thick to start with, then it is absorbed into the skin easily and not caused it to become oily. It soaks in within 1-2 minutes and with it's unique cooling effect from the peppermint extract, it gives me the confidence that my skin is going to be protected for at least 5 hours in the sun!
Even though in the UK we don't get much sun, I ensure I use a higher SPF on a sunny day to save myself from re-applying the lotion. I try not to sit out in the sun for too long as I burn, my skin becomes red and then tan.
If I was to sunbathe properly then I would reapply every 60-80 minutes to maximise the coverage and still tan at the same time.
After about 35 circular motions of massaging the product onto my hands, it sets and looks like this in less than 30 seconds
I have experienced SPF lotions stains the clothes, especially when I am on holiday and my white clothes have streaks in and cannot wash out unless it is bleached! I am pretty sure a lot of you guys have experienced that too which is a complete waste of money on the garments! You go on holiday, go home with a tan but ruined garments!
I have not experienced any complains from my clothes so far, even when I have applied this to my arms, shoulders, neck and feet. It was such a suprise for me which made me enjoy using it even more!!
I work mainly indoors but when I am outdoors especially when I have a day of photoshooting, I always apply this to my face and body to ensure my skin is fully protected from the harmful rays. I hardly re-apply unless I am in the direct sun for longer than half hour, it's so handy to carry in my bag as the tube is not that heavy.
If you are looking for an SPF lotion which has major benefits for you and your family then check it out on www.nuskin.com , they ship world wide!

** I am a distributor for Nu Skin, this product was purchased with my own money and I have given my most honest opinion, I have not been contacted by the company to give this review in any way. **
Not everyone understands the use of night cream or heard of night cream - I was one of them until I was about 22 years old. The price would put me off and there are so many options in terms of brands in every single drug store, I didn't know if a night cream was even necessary? Now I know and I want to share with you why it is important to use one!
I use to think that by applying a thicker layer of a moisturiser would do the trick, or perhaps just applying some after sun on it each night would help protect my face from the harmful UV rays my skin has been getting from the day time. I then went on to research about what night creams can offer me and decided if it was really necessary? I soon bought night cream and just used it waiting for good results, some worked and unfortunately some didn't. I broke up in spots, acne, skin was more oily and some patches were still dry. Annoying, because I thought all night creams would make the skin become its best it can!! obviously not.
which night cream should I go for next?
I enjoy using night cream because it really looks after my skin when I sleep, research shows that, "night time is the optimal time to maximise existing
natural processes that occur in your skin. It is more receptive to
ingredients that will help restore and revitalise its appearance. " (Dr. H. Maes, Ph.D, Vice President of Global Research & Development at Estée Lauder)
When you sleep, your skin becomes dehydrated, we sweat (even if we don't see it) which is very important because your cells enter a state called Osmotic Shock and they may die. We need to make sure our skin is hydrated with the right products so we don't wake up to dry patches or flaky skin. NO matter how much oily products you add to the skin, it wont solve the dry patches. Applying a night cream can help your skin to be replenished and hydrated and do the hard work whilst we dream away.....
It is vital we find the right products to use at the right time, to obtain maximum results and feel confident about our skin.When we use the wrong products that don't work with our skin, we develop a reaction to our skin, telling us it's not agreeing to our skin, such as a rash, spots, redness.
Of course, we need to be fully hydrated during the day, sleeping the correct amount of hours, having a balanced diet and protecting our skin day and night, otherwise we end up with flaky, fatigued, unhealthy looking skin which can cause you to have aged premature skin and difficult to manage.
make up free skin, ready for bed....
"The skin regenerates three times faster at night than during the day,"
explains Julia Fauchet, trainer at Lancôme. Cellular renovation activity
reaches a peak between the hours of 2am and 4am. The skin recuperates
more effectively during this time, thus the importance of boosting this
high reparative activity. I find it difficult to keep my body clock in sync as I do day and night shifts, but I always ensure I am using my night cream when I sleep so I let the product do the hard work whilst I am resting.
I always apply night cream at least half hour before I sleep as it absorbs better.
If you are not sure which night cream to use then check out the ingredients and ask what it offers you in terms of it's promise.
I recommend alcohol free creams and ones with natural ingredients such as aloe vera or vitmain E.
Ever see a cropped top you like but afraid to buy because you dont have to confidence to wear it and show off your tummy or abs? I do!!! *hands up in he air* I dont have good abs or anything to show so I hide it, but a good way to wear the crop tops is to wear something that you can pull up like high waisted shorts, jeans, trousers or skirts.
I love wearing skirts, I think they are so versatile either you can dress up or dress down, crop tops or tucked in tops or even let the tops hang over the skirts.
Top - New Look
Skirt - Forever 21
Belt - Primark
If you have a mid length skirt or a skirt similar to this, it's worth changing the style by pulling it up to the waist and matching it with a short top , it's totally up to you if you want to show some of your stomach, then attach a thin belt. This gives the illusion of a more defined figure.
I have mega wide hips so it's difficult for me to find skirts to fit me on the hips, I buy skirts that have elastic at the top and holes for belts. This can give the illusion of a more defined figure without looking like you just ate 10 pies and be comfortable on the stomach. As you can see from the picture on the right, my hips are where my hands are and they are so wide, the top of the skirt just sits nicely above it.
This whole outfit was less than £20 bought from high street shops which is very versatile and affordable. You could always mix n match with other items in your wardrobe.
I like a splash of color for skirts as you can change the outfit style by using different colours and patterns.
I find that this style helps to define my figure a bit more and it's comfortable as I don't show of your tummy, especially if it's not flat.
So if you're looking to team up your skirts and tops then try this style =]
Whoever thought of the boyfriend jeans style - is amazing!! You don't have to be a male to wear these! Men's style can be so versatile for females, and comfortable, perfect for dressing down with abit of an edgy look teaming up with lots of accessories or a big jumper!
I love the boyfriend style, especially the jeans because it is so versatile! You can dress up or dress down with them and still look stylish!
Boyfriend jeans are suitable for weekdays, weekends day or night. They are basically men's style jeans as they are not fitted, slightly baggy but the bottom is slightly tapered or rolled up slightly.
They give the edgy look but also gives you the shape on the hips and not too tight on the thighs or legs.
They are so comfortable and it does not necessarily mean you have to take them from your boyfriend, the boyfriend is just a term to show they are the men's style.
Boyfriend jeans are meant to be low rise and have a cuff at the bottom for you to turn up. Some of them have rips for the more edgy look but you can add these yourself.
However, it is possibly to look classy simply by pairing them up with a pair of heels and a fitted top/smart jacket. For a relaxed look then just pair it up with a plain fitted top, I wore my long sleeve korean fashion top that has a unique design on the arms and front of the top.
I decided to match my shoes with my handbag as I fancied adding a splash of electric blue to add some eccentric pieces to make the outfit stand out.
I personally think I look ridiculous in baggy style jeans so I rolled the bottom up slightly to give the edgy look, this can change the look completely. If you're short then I wouldn't recommend this as it would look like you're drowning in the jeans.
I would personally invest in a good pair of boyfriend jeans as you can wear them for a number of years. A cheaper pair may give you poor quality and would destroy the look you want to create, but for real denim you would be able to create your
looks better.
What I am wearing:
Top - Korean fashion from Hong Kong Causeway Bay
boyfriend jeans - River Island (3 years ago but they still have this style in store majority of the year but colours may vary)
Some stores charge ridiculous amount for a pair of jeans, have a look at the men's section and don't be afraid to wear men's jeans. Fashion speaks for itself!
Ever heard or seen the crackles effect on nails? It looks complicated but I can assure you it actually isn't!
I got to be honest here, I don't often paint my nails as I work in a hospital and due to infection control - we aren't allowed to.
I use to love decorating my nails and creating alsorts of patterns and making them look pretty, but now I can't! I can only paint my toe nails, which I hardly get to show them off to as I am in tights and shoes most of the year!
When I go paint my nails I like to make sure they are a statement piece for any outfit/looks.
I first discovered crackles from Barry M which is a UK company which specialises in alsorts of colours and popular for their dazzling colours and types of polishes! They also do lip liners, lipsticks, glosses and eye shadows!
You don't have to spend alot of money on the base colour, I got mine for less than £2, the croc effect polish was £3.99 and it will last you for atleast the use of 40 nails! Here is an old video I did for the polish....
To achieve the nail crackles pattern, it is very simple.
Here is how to achieve the look:
file the nails to square/round tip
buffer and smooth the surface of your nails
apply a decent coat of white polish and wait for it to dry
carefully apply the black crackles polish over the white (tip: for bigger crackles, don't go over the same place more than once otherwise the crackles will be smaller)
wait for the magic to happen as it dries
apply a generous amount of clear polish over to secure the polish on your nails
It is that simple!!
Pro's:
amazing effect and can feel the texture on the nails
very detailed and all the patterns are different
easy to achieve with just 1 coat on each nail
don't stain the nails
there are a few different colours available for the crackles
different choice of patterns but limited in stores
affordable price from drugstores such as Superdrug , Boots
Con's:
for those who have wide nails like me, I need to carefully use the side of the brush to apply on the side of my nails, which would sometimes end up on the skin and the nails have smaller crackles in some places (but still look pretty!!)
defiantly need a top coat of clear polish otherwise the patterns would rip off after a few days
Perfect for a quick look and easy to do! Impress yourself and others around you by using the croc effect polish!
You can purchase the croc effects polish from big stores of Boots, or online at the Barry M site or trusted ebay sellers
I first discovered Holika Holika in Hong Kong December 2012 in Causeway Bay. The brand originates from Korea, and there is a store in a mall in Causeway Bay Hong Kong which sells a range of the Holika Holika products from skincare to make up.
Holika Holika is an exclusive brand in Hong Kong, any brand from Korea is hard to find outside of Korea due to it's law about copyright and licensing. I felt very happy to be able to purchase it and bring it back to England to continue using.
Syn-Ake peptide products are a huge craze in Asia and have been the last 2 years or less, I wanted to give it a try and see what the hype was all about so I purchased a few items including this wrinkle focus cream.
Syn-Ake is an alternative to botox in a bottle, it's basically a copy of snake venom, to help freeze the wrinkles on the skin but without the pain of injections.
I first heard about the use of snake venom in skin care about 4 years ago when I found out celebrities such as Cheryl Cole, Victoria Beckham and Kate Moss using it. There were reports of long queues for these kind of products in the beauty market due to its high quality for the skin.
For 50ml of the product in this fancy jar, it has lasted me about 5 months use every single night.
It wasn't too expensive, less than about $200hk, I was really excited to buy it and I even bought one for my mom as a gift.
It promises to:
Take care of wrinkles softly
Give soft texture like velvet for the skin
Promote elasticity and hydrate the skin
The active ingredients are , EGF (Epidermal growth factor), adenosine, hyaluronic acid. Essentially, to help maintain moisture and help cellular turnover while you sleep.
I apply a thin layer of this to my entire face and neck in an upward and outward motion after I have taken my make up off, cleansed, toned, applied serum then this as a night cream. I always wait about half hour until I can sleep, this gives the skin time to absorb the product.
There is a heavy scent to this product, even when it's absorbed to the skin. At first I enjoyed the scent but then after a few months, I realised the scent was so strong and the product was so sticky on my skin. Usually after I apply any product to the face, I tap it in to help with the circulation and massage the skin, but after applying this night cream, the skin felt like it was thicker as it was covered with this cream even applying a thin layer. I also noticed my face became red at times and itchy, I stopped using it and changed my night cream for my face.
I would not recommend this to those who have sensitive skin as the perfume is so strong and it did irritate my skin.
Pro's:
pretty packaging
tub looks nice in my room
screw off the top lid to reveal product and you can scoop out the product without wasting any of the formula
affordable price
Con's:
sticky formula even after applying a thin layer
scent too strong
big tub for 50ml of product
hard to find Holika Holika outside of Korea
The lid reminds me of snake
Holika Holika Syn-Ake Night Cream
I personally didn't enjoy using the product after about 3 months, it literally sat on my skin and didn't do anything but irritate my skin. I am happy that I got the chance to try it and share my experience!
