All of My Stuff From Korea Finally Arrived and I Think I’m Going to Pass Out

Just wanted to give y’all a little update on my life. A few weeks ago, I was really missing Korea. Like, really really.

My New Face Shop Goodies: Arsainte Eco-Therapy Tonic with Essential and Aqua Radiance Cream (Review)

  If you follow me on Instagram, you will know that recently I purchased a few lil’ goodies from The Face Shop.

I’m Falling in Love With Korean Skincare All Over Again

Hey friends, Can you tell I’ve been missing Korea recently? First this, then this and now this. It’s all getting a bit out of hand, isn’t it?

My Current Korean Beauty Favourites

Over the weekend, our school finished our “end of year” show, called the Lovely Party.

I am personally of the opinion that kids are kids and shouldn’t have to…

Luminising BB/CC Creams: Missha vs. Hanskin

Hi friends! By now you are probably well-versed in BB creams, and potentially their model-upgrade, CC creams. There are actually DD creams available too but let’s all forget about that, shall we? The wonderful thing about CC creams (and BB creams, for that matter) is that they are a lightweight way to smooth over your…

My Minimalist Dream

Hi friends! This may come as a surprise to you (or it may not) that I am in the middle of a complete lifestyle change. It has become my life goal to clear the clutter from my life (and house) and to downsize. I never thought I would live like this – and I certainly…

Sample Sundays: Missha Super Aqua Oxygen Micro Visible Deep Cleanser (Review)

Hi everyone! So we are back with another Sample Sundays, as promised, and today I am bringing you a mini review of a Missha product that I had never used before. To be honest, when I first arrived in Korea, Missha didn’t interest me too much. I thought the lights were a bit glary (they…
