NEXTBEAU Collagen Moisture Gel Review

Bonjour HK$50

How cute is this packaging??? I purchased this mainly for the adorable piggie~ and because it reminded me of the well hyped Nature Republic Aloe Vera Gel. Is collagen gel as good as aloe vera? I shall review this for you right now. ^.<

Collagen soothing gel is suppose to improve the elasticity of skin and moisturise dry skin with rich moisture to provide soft skin whilst giving a fresh sensation. It's suitable for all skin types and for face and body care usage. There is 300ml of product, which is bargain for it's price and will last you for ages!

Please excuse the makeup swatches on my hand~ >.< The gel is colourless and has a sweet citrus scent. The texture and consistency is very much alike aloe vera gel. The gel absorbs very quickly into the skin, does not leave any residue and finishes to a tight matte touch, which I am not really fond of. The finish makes my face feel not moisturised at all, as for body it's okay. I like that it's multifunctional, you can apply a thick layer on your face and leave it on for 15 minutes for a cooling and soothing mask. Using it has a normal moisturiser I personally think it does not do the job well, where as using it as a mask is quite nice and has more obvious results - smoother skin. Overall I think it's average product and if you're looking for a good moisturiser this is not it. Unfortunately >.< You're better off purchasing normal aloe vera gel.

LUSH Dirty Springwash Shower Gel Review

Think I am becoming a LUSH addict, so here we go with another LUSH product review~ I think this may be marketed at males (most likely unisex) but who cares, it's a shower gel and I want some of that invigorating minty fresh feeling!

Product Description from the LUSH website

"A shower gel to leave you feeling minty fresh and alert. Dirty Springwash leaves skin feeling invigorated - perfect after a workout at the gym. Spearmint and menthol create a tingling effect on the skin, and stimulates the mind. Thyme adds a herby note to the fresh scent."

I usually stick to floral and fruity scents but the name Springwash caught me, so it's time to switch it up~ The gel has a light and gentle refreshing minty scent, same as unwrapping a spearmint chewing gum. I love that the scent is not overpower like other minty products. The lovely scent lingers on after you've showered, refreshing the atmosphere around you too.

The consistency is quite runny as you can see BUT this stuff is amazing! It truly feels look you're diving into a cool spring pool in summer. It's refreshing and alerting, great for those sluggish mornings to start the day off. The spearmints gives you a light cool sensation in a hot shower, perfect after a sticky intense workout. My skin feels clean to the touch and my mind is stimulated. I definitely recommend this as it's such a wonderful sensual experience.

No Pain No Gain

Photo from NewChic because girl ain't putting her boobs all up in the camera xD

Quick outfit post~ I'm very very picky when it comes to sports bras but I absolutely adore this one from NewChic! It's currently my favourite as the design is simple yet sexy and the quality is highly well made. The bra is very supportive when exercising even during extreme workouts due it being shockproof. It's available in 8 different colour~ I choose the grey one as the front zipper contrasts with the bra giving it that edgy look.

Lastly~ don't forget you can use my discount coupon code "20off1574" to get 20% off everything during checkout when you purchase from NewChic.com~

THE FACE SHOP Whitening Capsule Sleeping Mask Review

I can't seem to find a review for this mask and i'm like WHYYYYY? THIS STUFF IS SO GOOD!!! Sorry for the bad lighting, it's current 2am in the UK and I really wanted to share this beauty! Sleeping masks are essential to me because they hydrate my skin for hours and simply because i'm too lazy to wash off normal facial masks.

This overnight sleeping mask contain's white tea extra to whiten and hydrate the skin. It also soothes the skin by protecting it from UV rays and pollution. Free of artificial colouring and synthetic preservatives.

To use this mask, you simply apply it after your skincare before going to bed and then rinse it off the next morning. It's recommended to use it 1 to 2 times a week, but I use it almost everynight because I like it that much! xD

It has a nice gel consistency thats lightweight and not greasy. The mask absorbs quickly into the skin and has a lovely cooling sensation when you apply it. I like this a lot more compared to Laneige's Water Sleeping mask, I notice much more obvious results and benefits from using this. Plus you get more product and it's cheaper. My face is pumped with hydration and my complexion is beautifully brightened, giving it that Korean translation skin appearance. I LOVE IT! I definitely recommend this for those that need a extra kick of moisture~ ^^
