Missha Signature Real Complete BB Cream  I must admit the heat made it almost impossible to wear anything on my face, but I did wear this BB primarily because it has an SPF. Similarly to Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum , it has light to medium coverage and looks very natural on the skin, however, like most BB's it leaves my skin tacky and sticky, which presented a big problem for me in the heat so I needed to powder it. I'm not a fan of anything that leaves my skin tacky that's why I use Healthy Mix Serum, but I made compromises for the sake of good sun protection and it worked just nicely. Mattifying powders - Givenchy Matissime & Mac Mineralize Skinfinish Natural I honestly dislike wearing powders, because they make any foundation look obvious on me plus the flakies appear when I use them in colder months, however, I can't avoid using them in hot weather. BB's that I use in the Summer because they have SPF, all have a dewy finish, which looks fantastic in colder mo...

This tag was really popular a few months back, but I still see an occasional post popping up. So the rules are to take all seven colours of the rainbow ( red , orange , yellow ,  green ,  blue ,  indigo and  violet ) plus pink and multi-coloured, and talk about your favourite beauty or fashion item that fits with those colours. I honestly enjoyed doing this tag and this definitely one of the most colourful posts I ever posted. ESSENCE Guerilla Gardening TE Floral Glam lip cream I could choose any of my red lipsticks here, as I really enjoy wearing them and I wear them frequently. I chose Floral Glam not just because it's currently my favourite red, but also because it's a lip cream and they are my favourite type of lip colours as they are very pigmented, last so long and have a matte finish. I did a comparison of most my red shades in the review for this lip cream and Floral Glam is an orange based red that bears a lot of resemblance to Mac's Lady Danger ...

Colour Whispers are just another lip products in the long line of the lipstick-gloss-balm hybrids that have stormed the make up world ever since Chanel launched their Rouge Coco Shines. Personally, I am not a particular fan of these and I gravitate towards more saturated, pigmented and matte textures. However, I do own a few, namely the infamous Revlon's Lip Butters and L'Oreal's Rouge Caresse . I didn't plan to get the Maybelline's version, but ended up buying Coral Ambition because of the shade. It is rare to find a nice light, warm, peachy shade that doesn't look orange on my pale complexion. I am currently in the wearing bright shades stage, but I have worn this shade quite a lot since I got it about a month ago. I find it looks great when I wear mint green clothes, which I do a lot since it's my favourite colour. The texture is light, almost weightless and not sticky at all. I find it very similar to L'Oreal's Rouge Caresse. It's very bal...

I was tagged to do this post by a fellow blogger Anna from Anna Beauty Blog , but it was a very popular tag on YouTube a while ago. So here's my take on it.  What is your most expensive beauty item? I don't know exactly because I have a few products that were priced about the same, but it might be the Calvin Klein's Euphoria , however I had a discount. The most expensive product I paid full price for is Estee Lauder Double Wear Maximum Cover . I use it on most days actually, so it was worth it. Which beauty item do you have a love/hate relationship with? That would be Bourjois Healthy Mix foundation . It can make your skin look absolutely fantastic, however, if it's dehydrated, every patch of dry skin will look horrendous. They have repackaged it and apparently changed the formula, but I have yet to try it. The other such product is Bourjois 10 days nail polish in shade 25 . I dislike the formula, but the colour is flippin' gorgeous. What brand makes up the biggest ...

1.  Dior Diorskin Nude BB Creme ,   Guerlain Lingerie De Peau BB or   Clinique Moisture Surge CC  Lets not get into the whole BB/CC debate, because I am of a strong opinion they are nothing new, just regular tinted moisturisers and those with more coverage, basically a foundation (and yes, I believe the same way about Korean ones, I have a few). I'm a huge fan of the skin-like finish and when I was younger there weren't a lot of tinted moisturisers (well, any really) on the market that would be light enough for such pale skin as mine. These new releases are finally a step in the right direction, this BB craze actually brought something good. I've tested the Dior Diorskin Nude BB Creme and really loved it (now, that's what I call a great tinted moisturiser), but I would love to try Guerlain's Lingerie De Peau BB  (the lighter shade looked great when I tried it in the shop, but it does have more coverage than the Dior one) and Clinique Moisture Surge CC cream as...

Currently, I have enough heat protection products to last me quite a while. Tigi Catwalk Mystique Blow Out Balm is the most versatile from all of them, but the the same time the most average one. It's the ultimate all rounder heat protection, because I find it's pretty much suited for all types of hair and I believe most people would really like it. It's a light gel-silicone texture that feels light on the hair and doesn't weight it down. It has a ton of small multi-coloured shimmer that looks stunning when you look at it in sunlight. It's demure enough not to make you look like you have actual chunks of glitter on your hair and it just gives an amazing shine. My cousin complimented on how amazingly shiny my hair looks and demanded to know what I was using. I used to own a similar product with such shimmer and it was the John Frieda Brilliant Brunette Shine Shock (now repackaged and renamed Liquid Shine ). However, the JF one doesn't work as a heat protect...

I've searched for the perfect coral nail polish for a long time. There have been plenty of missed purchases because most corals look bright orange on me. Originally, I was planning to get Essie's Cute as a Button , but I was informed by a fellow blogger Sanja from Sparkle with Laughter that Bourjois 10 days in 25 is a pretty good dupe and cheaper. I compared the bottles is the shop and they did look very, very close.  The colour is essentially perfect - a proper coral, not too orange nor too pink , but sitting comfortably in the middle. Needless to say I'm in love with the shade and it's become one of my favourite colours ever .  I have already worn it three times in a row.  However, much is left to be desired when it comes to the formula and the brush . I can't really point out what is so wrong with the formula, but it just doesn't work as well as the others. I'm being vague I know, but once I felt it was too liquidy, then on other occasion too glupy and...

I decided to do something that might not be the best idea and almost completely revamped my skin care routine. Well, it was more like added steps and kept my favourites. I kept  Nuxe Huile Prodigeuse  obviously, because it's the only thing I can rely on, and  Bioderma  stayed as did  Maybelline waterproof remover . I'm really bad when it comes to skin care because I want it cheap and simple, but it's time for a change - I only have one skin. I read so many reviews/skin care routine posts that my head was spinning and narrowed down to all these products (I still have a few back-ups on my wishlist). I didn't focus too much on ingredients, I decided to stop doing that because I find it oversimplifying, especially when it comes to mineral oil and alcohol. I chose to just go with the positive reviews and recommendations.  Neutrogena Visibly Clear 2-in-1 wash mask An oldie, but a goodie. I don't recall ever being without a tube of this since I first bought it whe...
