SNSD / TTS Tiffany Hwang Dear Santa Inspired Nail Tutorial

On Korean beauty shows, Tiffany is known for her nails. Even on her sub group's show - The TaeTiSeo, you can see that Tiffany gets a manicure done very frequently. Her nails are to die for, they're so pretty! I decided to recreate her Dear Santa nails since it seems easy enough to do at home. ^^

Here is a screenshot of her nails~ From my perspective I think it's the classic silver/clear rhinestone look.

To achieve this look, I simply applied a silver colour as a base and then a glitter coat to stick the rhinestones onto my nails. Lastly, used a top coat to seal off the hard work. Here is my take on it and the finsihed look~ I think it would have been prettier if I used smaller rhinestones (my friend said he got trypophobia from looking at them lolol, sorry!) and if I spent my time on it since I got lazy ehhh.

But if you want to see how I did them, i've filmed the process and linked the video tutorial at the top of this post! Or you can click here :')

Have a nice day~
* posts will be slow due to exam period wahhhh T___T

FANCL T-Zone Mask Review

If you ever visit Asia or have been in Asia, you will likely see FANCL products. FANCL is a really popular Japanese brand~ ^^ I stumbled on these limited edition masks when browsing on YesStyle and was intrigued to try it because it focuses on the T-zone to reduce sebum and tighten up pores. I couldn't find any reviews on them to see if they actually work, so ehhhh i'll be the guinea pig. xD You get 4 sheets for £22.97 which equals out to £5.74 per sheet. Rip my purse T__T

The mask contains Green Tea and Kiwi Extracts which help to clarify skin and tighten pores; hyaluronic acid to hydrate the skin and help balance it so that it has a matte finish. It also contains "intensive mattifiers" to help regulate excess sebum activity. As for the other "helps achieve refined skin" bs, I won't bother with that since that is very unlikely. It might over time but not with 4 sheets in my opinion. 

I can't read Japanese but illustration are very self explanatory on how to use the mask~ 

As you can see, the mask doesn't fit onto my face very well! I've tried adjusting it but maybe my face is too big for it... xD It has a zesty citrus scent, the scent actually reminds me of Mizon Trouble Care Acne Control Soothing Gel Cream except without the overwhelming alcohol. When you apply the mask, there's a cool and tingly sensation. Feels like its clarifying and detoxing my skin~ 

My skin does feel slightly more hydrated and has a semi matte finish after use, though the result weren't very obvious. It's not amazingly mattifying, since the mask is suppose to provide the cheeks moisture too which is hard to formulate a moisturising yet mattifying mask. Overall a decent mask. If you want a mask to mattify your skin, I would recommend you to use a normal sheet mask and then apply a mattyfying moisturiser/primer which has more noticeable results and is more cost effective.

Personally I think you're better off getting 2 boxes of My Beauty Diary masks (20 sheets) or other drug store sheet masks, which provides the same results (or better) and you would still have some leftover change. But if you have the money to splurge out then go ahead~

Don't Be A Cigarette | Cyberpunk Inspired Harness Outfit

Don't let people treat you like a cigarette, they only use you when they're bored and step on you when they're done. Be like a drug, let them die for you. 🚬

Back to typical Michelle with edgy outfits and harnesses to finish it off~ I've missed wearing outfits like this! At uni I mostly wear casual outfits and the occasional party dresses for nights out, swear uni makes me (maybe other people too) lazy af. xD

Graphic items are always a classic, everyone used to hype about graphic tees but I think it's now moving onto graphic jackets. I picked this one from the men's section in H&M and boy do I love it! It's so versatile to style and the oversize is perfect for tying an outfit together. I've been seeing a lot of graphic jackets on YesStyle too, so if you prefer a girly one, you can head over there. ^.< I styled the jacket with a white crop top and black shorts, you can never go wrong with simple classics. To spice things up and make it even edgier, I thought why not wear a body harness? (to which I got a few people questioning why tf are am I wearing one ;___; - because I can bishhh)

Outfit Details:

Glasses: Dresslink

Jacket: H&M

Top: New Town Plaza (Hong Kong)

Shorts: Boohoo

For those that also have exams, work hard and good luck! ^^

Greyscale | Autumn Transition Outfit

Boohoo had a sale so I pick up some goodies hue~ (welllll it always has sales xD) This ribbed grey jumper is something different for me, I thought it would be a nice subtle change plus it's a versatile piece. I love the ribbed texture! You can't see it in the photos well, but it actually has metallic glitter in too. ^^ I paired it with black high waisted shorts and a leather jacket; this looks like a autumn outfit transitioning into spring. xD Buts it's okay! The UK weather is polar AFFFF. Last week it rained, snowed + hailed, sunny af, windy and then sunny again all in one day wtfffff. I'm not usually one to talk about the weather but wtffff and how is one suppose to dress? ;____;

Outfit Details:

Jacket: H&M

Jumper: Boohoo

Shorts: Boohoo

Hat: Primark - Atmosphere 

Have you been experiencing crazy ass weather in your country too? Or is it just the typical UK? O.o
