Eyeko FAT BALM - Minty Review



Quick review because of procrastination hehe. I am not 100% sure but I think this is a discontinued product .__. if you're lucky, you can still find them online for around £5-£10~ ^^

The packaging is cute! I use my fingers to apply the balm onto my lips - so the size is an attraction factor, not really practical. The balm has a subtle smell of mint, which is really nice. It contains Jojoba oil, so it hydrates the lips very well. It also contains SPF 15 to protect your lips. 


The colour is light pearl pink, great for  everyday. However, it is very sheer! In all honesty, I think this shade a waste of money. You could purchase Nivea's Kiss of Shimmer, which offers very similar results and is a lower price. I can't say for the other shades, since they're darker so it may be more pigmented. I like the 2-1 concept, you can apply it onto your lips and cheeks. Great for traveling. If you apply this balm on your cheeks, it has a subtle colour with a dewy finish.

Pros:

  • Mineral oil and lanolin free
  • Hydrating
  • Has SPF 15
  • Versatile

Cons:

  • Not pigmented

Rating: 5/10

Would I repurchase?

Nope - you can purchase other lip balms that offer the same result for a lower price. If i were to repurchase it, I would get a darker colour so that more colour shows up ^^

Would I recommend?

For this shade - No. People are likely to purchase the FAT BALMs for it's colour (or for the cute packaging xD), but since it doesn't have much pigment, you're better off purchasing a regular lip balm or look into a different product with more pigment. 

Have you tried any new lip balms recently? ^^

Beauty & Fashion Wishlist #1

Girls want quite a lot, don't they? Well this is my wish list for this month, its too long to wait for special occasions just to make a wish list. xD

1. Foreo Luna Mini - Magenta or Petal Pink £99

This product was featured in SecretLifeOfABioNerd's most recent video, i'm curious as to how it varies to a cleansing brush. ^^ Although I don't own a electronic cleansing brush, I think this will be more gentle and suitable for my skin.


2. Innisfree - Mineral Shading £8.20

I seriously need to get a new bronzer before I run out. >.< This one caught my eye, however I can't find any reviews or swatches. >.<


3. NYX - The Curve Liner £14

I really like the fine tip and curve of the eyeliner. ^_^

 

4. IZZI Slim iPhone 5 Camera Case 4 in 1 Lens - White £69.99

I've seen so many Youtubers with this case! I love the different lens and it great since I take a lot of photos! 


5. Jouer Anti-Blemish Matte Primer £29

Much much in need of a good primer, that helps to keep me matte. >.< This is helps to prevent blemishes too, so its a bonus. 


6. Missguided Graphic Checked Shirt £24.99

Not usually my style, but i've been loving the grid and checked trend this season~ ^^ 


7. Leather Tote Bag

I've been eying this for ages but i can't decided which colour to get. >.< Maybe I should purchase both hehe~


Whats on your wish list for this month? ^_^

KPop Fashion - TTS Adrenaline Tartan Outfit

Tartan is so on trend for 2014 - I keep seeing it everywhere! Especially in the music scene. The outfits that caught my eye the most are from TTS's Adrenaline performance. I love their outfits! - its edgy yet elegant. I love the contrast of black and red and how they paired a sheer chiffon blouse with tartan. Loads of interesting textures + patterns.My favourite outfit is probably Tiffany's, although I am more likely to wear Taeyeon's. >w< I shall do some inspired kpop fashion posts soon, when I have time. ^_^ Its been a while since i've done one. 




You can watch the performance here~


What trend/outfit have you been liking this month? ^__^

Rohto Hada Labo Gokujyun Super Hyaluronic Acid Moisturising Liquid Makeup Remover Review





The weather change in the UK is messing up my skin badly! >.< First a acne party, now dry skin. .__. I opted for Hada Labo's makeup remover as I keep seeing Jun Ji Hyun's Hada Labo commercials (so why not xD) and because it contains Super Hyaluronic Acid. SHA "hydrates and nourishes the skin for smooth, radiant and crystal-clear skin. it creates a moisture locking shield to help preserve skin's optimum moisture balance" - http://www.hadalabo.com

This makeup remover is a cleansing liquid; Hada Labo also does a cleansing oil which is in a yellow bottle. The makeup remover is a water based, so it is mineral oils free. Its also does not contain colorants, alcohol or fragrances. So its great for those with sensitive skin. It has a runny gel consistency. The product is a transparent colour, not blue. It just has a blue bottle ^^


Its easy to use; you simply dispense 1-2 pumps onto your hands, then apply it onto a dry face and massage your face to melt and remove your make up. Then wash of the makeup remover with water and repeat it again. You will need to wash your face at least twice to remove all traces of makeup. Once will not be enough (as shown in the photos below). I think this is due to the gentle nature of the makeup remover.


It does remove makeup effectively, however I find that it doesn't remover mascara very well. Its gentle and does not leave my skin feeling dry. In fact it does feel slightly more hydrated. I like that it doesn't leave my face feeling greasy afterwards too. It didn't irritate my acne or cause further breakouts which is great!

Pros:

  • Does not contain minerals oils, colorants, alcohol or fragrances
  • Easy to use
  • Hygienic packaging
  • Gentle
  • Great amount of product, will last for 3 months or more
  • Didn't cause further breakouts
  • Does not leave skin feeling dry afterwards

Cons:

  • Can be expensive if you purchase this outside of Japan. On Amazon UK, this was sold for £25!
  • Does not remove mascara very well
  • Requires double cleansing

Rating: 7/10

Would I repurchase?

Maybe, the makeup remover isn't the best. It does remove majority of my makeup, its gentle and retains the moisture in my skin. However my makeup is usually quite heavy since I build up my foundation or BB cream to hide my acne and scars, so it takes longer for me to fully remove everything. >.<

Would I recommend it?

If you don't mind double cleansing, I think this is great for those that wear light make and have sensitive skin~ ^^ 

Have you tried any Hada Labo products? ^^
