Casual Waterfall~ ❧

My resting bvtch face is back ayeee, kidding (i'll to try smile more xD) and yes my pink hair is back too! ^.^

I've been wearing leggings with crop tops a lot recently, here is one of the many outfits. Such a casual yet still fashionable outfit~ I tied the blouse around my waist as a decorative piece to dress up the outfit as I love the edgy graphic writing (and I could wear it, if I get cold ^^). I love the different textures in this outfit - chiffon, soft silky cotton, leather & lace panels. Gives it a little bit of something going on throughout the outfit. When I first got the leggings, I had no idea how I was going to style it! Monochrome is a go to pallet so thats what I opted out for. I love how the leggings show a bit of cheeky skin yet its very subtle. The leggings would have stood out more if I wore all black or a plain sweater.

Outfit Details:

Top: DIY
Blouse: Comme Des Garcons
Leggings: Dealsale (*sponsored item)

What have you been a lot wearing lately? ^^

ETUDE HOUSE Korean Beauty Haul #2

Weeee~ another Etude haul. As I am currently in the UK, there are no Korean cosmetics stores around me. *cries* ;__; So had I to purchase from Etude House's Global official site which is based in America. Which I don't mind since the shipping was fast and everything was packaged nicely. However was not happy I had to pay customs fees when it arrived and that they didn't send me the sample kit I was supposed to get with their promotion event .___.

Anywhere here are the items I got ^__^:

Zero Sebum All Day Matte Gel
Beauty Shot Face Blur SPF15/PA+

Drawing Show Creamy Gel Eyeliner
Surprise Essence Concealer in Co #2
Look At My Eyes Eyeshadow in RD302 and PP505

Thats it for my mini haul~ ^^ Has anyone else experienced having to pay custom fees on top? o.o It's my first time even though i've been shopping online from various brands/shops for yearsss!

Innisfree Super Volcanic Pore Clay Mask Review

Some magical editing for a magical month~ ^.^ I got this sample along in my Innisfree shopping spree back in Hong Kong. I have the tendency to use masks whilst studying because it's like a mini stress reliever. Being the potato queen of procrastination I am, i'm going to start sharing/reviewing these "mask sessions" to somewhat make my procrastination more productive? XD Staring with the review~

The clay mask is made with Jeju volcanic clay, which is said to remove sebum and impurities effectively. A 6 in 1 mask that helps to shrink pores, control sebum, exofoliates, deeply cleanses, brightens tone and cools.

It has a velvet texture with a thick yet lightweight consistency, it doesn't harden much so you can still freely move your facial muscle. Has a light soothing scent; you don't really notice it when it's on your face so its great for those that are sensitive to fragrance. I left the mask on for 10 minutes, you can feel a lovely minty cool and tingling sensation when it dries. The cool and tingling sensation was still there even after I rinsed it off with lukewarm water. Easy to apply and dries quick~

My skin feels smooth and deeply cleansed afterwards, however it also feels less hydrated. The mask helped to control sebum and slightly minimises pores. A pretty good mask, I wouldn't mind purchasing the full product. ^^ The full size (100ml) is available from the official innisfree site for £10.15 if you are interested~

Does anyone else use masks whilst studying too? ^^

2) GoPro Hero+ LCD Action Camcorder

I want to start filming more vlogs, GoPros seem like the perfect camera for that. :')

3) Crystals

I'm obsessed with anything magical, as you could probably tell from my blog design. Crystals are known to contain magical energy; there's a theory that if you place crystals on energy point of your body, the crystals will transmit energy to help heal, calm and revitalise oneself. ^^ Believer of magic because reality is mundane, stressful and predicable (most of the time).

4) Banggood LED Light Star Pillow

I saw this on tumblr and omgggggg it's so cute i'm going to cry~!

5) ColourPop Cosmetics

So many American Youtuber use Colourpop cosmetics, they looks mazing! Unfortunately they're so difficult to get in the UK or sellers double up the price online. Dx

LANEIGE Water Bank Essence Review

Quick review because i'm drowning in revision and coursework welppp! Anyway the Laneige Water Bank line is highly raved, i'm sure those that use Asian skin care have already about heard it 362839320+ times already. I have the essence in a travel size version, which came with a Laneige trail kit. The full size (60ml) is available for $32.50 from Sasa.

There are two versions; Water Bank Essence and Water Bank Essence EX; EX is the improved version and does not contain alcohol, so it's more recommended for those with sensitive skin. The water bank line was designed to provide long lasting 24 hour hydration for all skin types. I have dehydrated skin; this really helped with boosting and maintaining the moisture levels of my skin. ^^

The essence's consistency is runny and light. It spreads easily and absorbs into the skin quickly, leaving a moist and velvet finish. I seriously can't stop touching my skin after application! Feels like my skin has been injected with loads of moisture. It has a lovely light and fresh scent too~ But don't only rely on the essence for moisture, remember to apply a moisturiser after too!

I really enjoyed using this essence, I will most likely purchase in this the full size~ ^^ Although it is quite pricey, I definitely think it's worth the price as it does what it claims and makes your skin feel so nice! Like that moist glowy skin Korean celebrities have. *^*
