Shade #21 – Light Beige
I originally bought this BB cream for my mum, who was looking for some light coverage with a high SPF, but I’ve started ‘borrowing’ it more and more as I’ve realised how good it actually is. It comes in 3 shades and this is the one in the middle, although it is still is a pretty fair shade even for someone like me who is pale. This is common with many Korean BB creams which Continue reading
SPF 45 PA+++
Summer may be fast diminishing in England but I’m travelling in Europe at the moment and it’s still sunny enough that I need a high SPF! Of course, you should really use sun protection on daily basis, regardless of the weather. I’ve been using this sun cream for a few months now and it has both positive and negative features. I like that it offers broad spectrum protection from both Continue reading
Another product with adorable packaging from Tony Moly, this face powder comes in a compact in the shape of a cat’s face and is a must-have for any feline-lover. However, it isn’t just a gimmick, as this is actually a very good product. The compact comes with a make-up sponge and a pretty generously-sized mirror, which is ideal for application on the go. Cats Wink Continue reading
As this has been my first post in a while (thanks, finals!) I thought I’d talk about one of my favourite new products from Korea. The Aqua Petit Jelly BB cream is a cult favourite, so I was curious to see if the blush would be as good. This is available in 5 different shades, and I chose a kind of coral-pink colour. It turns out it’s one of the prettiest and most natural-looking blushes Continue reading
Yet another product I have picked up lately in anticipation of summer! This baked highlighting powder from Étude House is available in two different versions, one which is more cool-toned and the other warm. In the pan this mix of gold, peach and white tones really does look beautiful, and they blend together to give a shimmery, warm finish without looking like you have Continue reading
This is the first product I’ve tried from The Skin House and it has made me want to try more! With summer approaching, I was looking for a high-SPF sun cream especially for the face that I could use on a daily basis. Usually I use the Clinique Super City Block (SPF 40) which I love, but I wanted to find a cheaper alternative and this cost a third of the price- about £6 as opposed to Continue reading
It has taken me a while to write this review as I keep changing my mind on it- my experiences with it have been strangely mixed… But here goes! This product is part of a collection of 5 BB creams from Holika Holika each promising a different benefit: Moisturising; blemish-clearing; “shimmering”; “watery” and “essential”. I liked the sound of all of these, but chose this last Continue reading
This popular Korean beauty product is available in two versions, a loose powder and in compact form. I chose to buy the latter as I was looking for a travel-friendly powder to substitute my all-time favourite (Clinique Blended Face Powder) which isn’t as practical. I always buy translucent powders because I have very fair skin and anything that isn’t is inevitably too dark. Continue reading
