LEADERS INSOLUTION Mela-Tox Skin Clinic Mask Review




Omg I wrote this review 3 times and blogger didn't save it! *cries* I've been off the beauty grind for the past month - need to get my review game back on! I purchased some Leaders Insolution masks when I was in Hong Kong as I remember reading Xiaxue's post on it and they seemed really good! Cannot wait to go back in a few weeks! ^.^

Leaders Insolution is a Korean brand created and tested by a group of dermatologists. There are 17 variations in the range. Mela-Tox is their top seller - it's main function is whitening. Description "helps you get back that radiant, youthful glow. It brightens dull complexions by suppressing melanin production which causes pigmentation problems. The mask also moisturises and diminishes blemishes."

How to use:

  • Apply the mask after cleansing and toning your face
  • Leave it on for 15 - 20 minutes
  • Massage or dab the remaining essence for your skin to adsorb it

I like that the packaging clearly states the function/effect of the mask, what corners it helps with and the skin type it is suited for - makes it easy for user to identify which mask would benefit their skin the most. The pill detailing is cute too.

The mask was not lined with plastic - I'm starting to notice a lot of Korean sheet masks don't. The sheet is made from silk cellulose and the size of the mask was perfect for my face - fitted very well and did not slide. This is key factor as it enables maximum absorption without essence dripping. The scent of the mask was very subtle and does not linger. The essence was thicker than regular mask - which hydrated and plumped my skin very well. When you take off the mask it leaves a gel film behind, I'm not sure if it supposed to be an protective barrier? It's quite sticky and takes a few minutes to dry and absorb in.

After 20 minutes - my skin was significantly brightened, it looked clear and radiant like kpop celebrities waaa~ *^* Temporally rid my blemishes too, need to constantly use it every week to maintain the results and "suppress melanin production". The results were very impressive! I recommend this for people with dry or normal skin more. I have oily skin and I think the essence may a bit a little too rich for me, since I had a few little pimples the following days after.

Rating: 7/10

Pros:

  • Does not contain mineral oil, silicon, artificial pigment or paraben (preservative)
  • Brightened and cleared my skin tone
  • Mask is perfect size, fits very well to your face
  • Rich essence that hydrates well
  • Reduced blemishes 

Cons:

  • Has a sticky finish
  • Essence may be too rich for people with oily skin
  • Only available in Asia (I think) and online

Have you tried any Leader Insolution products? ^.^

XIV.IV.MMXV / Sweater Weather Outfit & Cindy Visiting London





Throwback post~ 14.04.15

My friend Cindy came over to the UK~ (she's from the Netherlands and has the cutest accent ever!) So I took a spontaneous trip London to visit her. Met up with her and another friend at Shakespeare's Globe (London Bridge), which I had not been to before. It was utterly beautiful! I really should check out more London's tourist spots/sights instead of shopping all the time. A heat wave struck and my god, I was boiling in my sweater, but thankfully it covered and protected me from the strong sun rays. We then headed to Chinatown for food (typical chinky) and off to Greenwich. Completely stunned by the beauty of the modern architecture and refreshing greenery there. Finished the day off with some Oxford Street shopping because welllll you have to! Such a fun day, I want to relive it again!

Outfit Details

Sweater: Uneek 
Blouse: New Look 
Leggings: Miss Guided 
Shoes: Gabor 
Bag: Vans Off The Wall

As for my outfit; super casual - the red vibes were calling me! When does it not? xDD So I reached out for my oversized burgundy sweater, it always complements my hair colour(s) really well~ Paired it with wet look leggings, 100% recommend if you want your legs to look more toned and elongated haha. Topped it off with a gold peter pan necklace to add a little detail to this simple look. ^^ This outfit reminds me of primary school days~ My co-worker thought I wore school uniform to work once. xD

Have you travel anywhere recently? :')

Have a good day~ ^__^

Vintage Cardie~ Outfit






Outfit Details:

Cardigan: Primark 
Top: Aliexpress 
Trousers: Missguided 
Shoes: ASOS 
Hat: H&M
Star Necklace: Select

Something different from my usual style, I quite like it but at the same time I feel weird... .__. The cardigan was an impulsive purchase from a while ago; I remember at one point oversized cardigans were the trend, I guess I caved into it since I purchased one, but never wore it until now (because i'm 2000 and late xDD). I wore this outfit for my first exam - I opted out for the vintage cardie because I want to feel comfortable during my exam. The booties are 4 inches high! I needed to boost my confidence you know huehue. This all sounds weird but it actually helped :') I didn't feel nervous at all, most likely a placebo effect. The look is very casual and simple, so I styled it with a mini statement necklace and mesh panel trousers too add some character. This is definitely more of an autumn look rather than spring, but heyyy its been getting cold again the UK! :c

Have you tried out something new? It doesn't have to be fashion wise - new challenges, hobby, food? :') Tell me in the comments below~ ^^

Have a good day!

F#CK EVERYTHING AND MOVE TO JAPAN - MCM ANIME T SHIRT



No one laugh at my arms. The direction of lighting in my room made one arm tanned and the other white omfg.

*It's currently exam season; I had my first exam yesterday eeks! Don't worry I won't be MIA regardless of my workload - I will still try my best to post at least once per week. ^__^ I do apologise I have not been replying comments though - SORRRYYYY ;___;

This t shirt illustrates and quotes my mood 200% right now, it's currently favourite t shirt! I love the colour choice of the design - vibrant reds are my thing~ Not to mention the adorable graphics too, there's Totoro, Godzilla, Pikachu and i'm not sure what the others are... oops.

I purchased this during MCM Comic Con from a store called Oh Japan. They had a variety of amazing designs, similar to the one i'm wearing. I had my eye on other ones thats quoted "Baka!" and "Notice me Senpai!" which I plan on purchasing at the next MCM. :') 

I styled the t shirt with high waisted shorts:


Which colour do you prefer? Black or Red? :') Tell me in the comments below~

Lastly, good luck to everyone else taking their exams too! ^__^ <3

OOTD: Colouring Blocking with Accents - General Election 2015~

My friends keep telling me my facial expression looks confused... ;____; but this is my default face majority of them time hmmm .___.





Outfit Details:

Coat: Dorothy Perkins 
Top: New Look 
Shorts: River Island 
Shoes: Gabor 
Bag: LE

Today is General Election day in the UK~ Votes are now closed, pretty excited to see which party will get selected! This is the OOTD I wore to school today. Colour blocking with accents. I didn't realise the colour scheme matched the British flag - blue, red and white. :') Guess I unconsciously / unintentionally dressed for the elections haha, thought it would be quite appropriate to make this outfit post. 

As for the hair bow, I DIYed it during Product Design today since I had some spare time. It matches the outfit well and adds a kawaii touch~

Did any UK readers here vote? Which party did you go with and why? ^__^
I went with Labour, due to the youth policies it offers were very appealing to me, in addition it benefits mine and future student's education more. Although there is the risk of crushing the UK's economy again, oopsss.

Innisfree It's Real Squeeze Cucumber Sheet Mask Review


Inb4: Yes I sliced up half a cucumber for the first photo #creativephotographygamestrong :')



There are 16 variations of the Innifree It's Real sheet masks; each have slightly different functions, but all offer moisture, nourishment, radiance and renewal to your skin. The cucumber mask's function is to mainly soothe, hydrate and refresh your skin. It contains cucumber extracts to make your skin clear and vital, as well as Jeju green complex to keep your skin healthy.

How to use:

  • Apply the mask after cleansing and toning your face
  • Leave it on for 10  to 20mins
  • Massage or dab the remaining essence with your fingertips for your skin to adsorb it better

Unlike other mask i've tried, this one was not lined with plastic. Be gentle when unfolding to prevent it from ripping. The mask has cutouts for your eyes and nose - great feature. It contains 20ml of solution, which is the perfect amount! No solution dripped when I was taking it out and there was very minimal left in the package. The scent is lovely~ theres a tiny hint of cucumber but it's more of perfumed floral scent.

I left it on for 20 minutes - sooooo refreshing and relaxing! It has a cooling sensation even if you don't put the mask in the fridge beforehand. The mask brightened up my complexion and left my skin feeling very hydrated and plumed. Reduced the A LOT of redness, as well as dark circles - did not expect this, so I was pretty wowed. The results lasted for like a day? ^^ The remaining essence absorbed in nicely and did not leave any residue. Very excited to try out the other functions. :')

Pros:

  • Hydrating
  • Brightening
  • Soothing - reduces redness and dark circles too
  • Absorbs easily and does not leave residue
  • Inexpensive

Cons:

  • No plastic lining, so be gentle

Rating: 9/10

Would I recommend?

Indeed! A great treat all year round, refreshing during summer and hydrating during winter. It would work well before applying makeup and after a long day of work. I think this mask would be best suited for those with drier skin.

Have you tried any the Innisfree It's Real masks? ^^
