The Korean Sunscreen That Makes My Skin Glow

We all know by now that Korea is the queen of cosmetics. It’s pretty self-evident. But I’m still constantly amazed at just how good their sunscreens are — which I was not expecting. When I was in Korea, I pretty quickly caught onto the fact that Korean women take great care of their skin, and this…

Sample Sunday: Nature Republic Collagen Dream Skin Booster & Emulsion

I’ve been loving Nature Republic for a damn long time now — and this ain’t changing. While I know there are myriad other K-beauty brands out there that are perhaps more sensible and high end, there’s just something so fun about the high street K-beauty brands. Plus, I actually like a bunch of their products, and the…

The Innisfree Mascara For Natural-Looking Eyes

As someone with incredibly long, but incredibly light, eyelashes, mascara can make all the difference. I used to wonder why all those “celebrities with no make-up” pictorials really didn’t look so bad (or different) from their made up faces, until one day I realised: some people are just born with naturally more defined (and darker-lashed) eyes….

The Incredible Seoul, L.A. & Yosemite Tour Of 2016 (Part 1)

On Thursday night, we returned from an epic jaunt across a few oceans (I’m being deliberately vague on that one because my geography ain’t so great. But oceans were definitely involved). If you’ve noticed a bit of a lull round these parts, you’d be correct in assuming that I had a few other things on…

My Bae: Nature Republic The First Essence (Review)

I recently finished one of my favourite products ever: Nature Republic’s The First Essence. I bought this on a whim when I popped over to Korea back in November, and it had been burning a hole in my case/cupboard ever since. Y’all know how much I love Nature Republic. As far as high street brands go,…

The Great Dupe: Missha’s The First Treatment Essence Intensive

A little while ago, I ordered a few things from W2Beauty that I’d had my eye on for a while. The main contender was a lil summin’ summin’ from Missha — The First Treatment Essence Intensive. I had seen this all over the blogosphere and, knowing that it was a really popular dupe for the SK-II…

My Absolutely Ludicrous Korean Beauty Haul

Hey friends, So a few weeks back, I decided to hop on a plane and make my way to Korea. I’d missed it for too long, and it was really getting the better of me. I’m always craving Korean food (in fact, I think I might have it for lunch today), I missed the kids…

Video: 5 Things I Miss About Korea

I know I talk about it a lot, but I lived in Korea for two years and loved it. Yes, it can be a bit foreign sometimes and you probably won’t understand a lot of what is going on (or is that just me?). But even though I am over here loving Malaysia, I really…

Why I Can’t “Do” Clubbing

Hi friends! … as a quick aside (from what?), I almost mistyped that as ‘hi friend’ (singular) which would have been a rather embarrassing situation. Anyway, welcome! Today’s post is going to talk about why I seem unable to “do” clubbing. It’s become quite the revelation in my life recently, although really I have always known…

Sample Sundays: Holika Holika Deep Cera All-in-One Master

Hi friends! Sample Sundays may have been gone for a little while, but it certainly is not forgotten. In fact, I’ve started doing something a little bit radical in my offline life (concerning samples, nothing actually radical)… which I will tell you about at the end of this post! For now, let’s talk about the topic at…
