Hero products of the month : February

Yay!

I had been very busy, stress, lazy etc for writing this post for January, so I decided to include it here in February post! Hope you enjoy because I have a lot of stuff to show <3 Some of them are from Asia, but don't worry I'll provide the link for you to buy them if you want. Also I don't have any sponsorship with them to link their websites, they are just good company/seller that I always buy from and happy with the service :)

Batiste Dry Shampoo in Blush. Do you have an annoying hair like me? That it's dry but greasy roots. I could do something with dry end but grrrr the greasy roots freak me out. This dry shampoo is cheaper than your burger and works like heaven. Good smell as well. Now I can deal with my second-day hair! 

Available in Superdrug for £1.49 (There are many smell to choose from :D)

Hada Labo Lotion and Moisturising Milk 

These 2 products changed my life forever! Can't tell you how wonderful they are with incredibly cheap price tag! If you are confusing what is what, the one in the left which is higher is the magic lotion that is  best seller lotion in Japan, every bottle sold every 4 seconds! If you have dry skin like me, drop 4 drops of this gel-like lotion on your palm, and pat it on your skin for 2 minutes, you will be surprise how dramatic your skin become smooth, bouncy like baby skin! I've used them for a month and my skin texture changed for better. It's smooth, bouncy and lovely to touch. I highly recommend you use it with moisturising milk as well for a dewy healthy skin. For you who have combination/oily skin, I think the lotion is enough, you might want to use it less than 4 drops. Hada Labo contains purest Super Hyaluronic Acid which is perfect for dry skin and anti-aging ( dry skin caused wrinkles). Hada Labo is hands down the most popular skin care product in Japan. 

Updated : Found the link for you guys on Sasa : The lotion £8.80 here (sorry currently out of stock at the moment I write this post hope they back in stock soon) and the milk/elmusion £11 here  ( Also for people who are confusing about buying from Sasa because they are Hong Kong based, I recommend you co-buy with your friends because if you spend over 60 you get free shipping, and Sasa always has offer so make sure to check them out, there are plenty of awesome stuffs :D)

Shu Uemura High balancing oil cleansing

I just love this baby so much, it's my HG make-up remover! You might think it's pricey £56 for 500ml bottle, but I don't think so. Removing make up is very important for me, and this oil cleansing make my skin so smooth, so clean, so moist after I use it. Lovely smell as well. I got it for around 3 month and still have a lot left.

Collection 2000 Cream puff in Cotton Candy and Dolly Wink Volume mascara 

They are my go-to product this month. Love them! 

Skin79 Oriental BB cream

Finally I found a BB cream that I can really like! I highly recommend this one for who has dry skin or love the dewy, natural finish. It just a little bit darker than my skin tone at first but then tend to match my skin very well. It's super easy to blend with fingers, contains spf 25. And come with a lovely cream blush :D I purchase it from Ebay and got it after 10 days ( send from Korea). I used it when I'm in a hurry and don't have time to apply my beloved Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation.

I purchase from Ebay from this seller for £14.32

Peter Thomas Roth Ultra-lite Oil free sunblock SPF30

I use this sunblock under my GA foundation as moisturer, sunblock and primer. Lightweight, works wonderfully and doesn't break me out :) For the day I don't wear any make up I just use a regular Nivea one.

£16.75 at beautybay.com

No.7 Vital Bright Cream Blush in Blooming Pink

I use this one almost everyday, give me healthy glowy cheek <3 a dupe for it is NYX cream blush in Hot pink but I found that NYX one is glossier while No.7 is more matte, so No.7 one has a stronger staying power :)

£10.00 at Boots

NYX auto eyebrow pencil in Charcoal 

Perfect for those who have black hair like me. I used brown color before but it's just wrong for me. Staying power is average :) 

£4.00 at NYX

Forget to take picture, the Flucinar tub saved me from the days I got red spots and dry patches from testing Paula's choice AHA/BHA gel. It's just like chemical fat like Vaseline I think so? I just apply a thin layer all over my face after cleansing and tomorrow my skin is back to normal. Also for the Paula's Choice 1% BHA Gel, I think it's too dry for me, I've ordered 1% BHA Lotion that formulated for Dry Skin, because even the gel too dry for me, it removed my blackhead and make my pores smaller after 2 uses. Will post about it later :)

So that's the end of the post, I hope you enjoy reading. Until next time, take care everyone :) Comment below if you have any questions or just want to share with me your favorite products ;) xx

Remove your make up!

We all had good skin before the teenage come with hormon's changing, buying very first make-up items but never learn how to remove them in the right way. For me, luckily, I didn't have any acnes problems in my teenage, and the only one beauty product I got is a good face wash. That's all. Why?

Because my mom said I could use skin care products but forget make up until I turn 18. Ok then I didn't like make-up at all at that time.

So when I first jump to make-up, first items I bought was cotton pad and make-up remover. Because I did take good care of my skin and I don't want make-up destroy everything. I don't understand woman who go to sleep with their make-up on! Or put tons of make-up on, have like 1460582646720 make-up products but only own a typical face wash to remove make up?!

So here for me, there is things I avoid to use to remove my make-up because if you choose it wrong, it can easily break out your skin as fast as low quality make-up :

- Wipes : Arghhhh I hate it, I know it's fast and easy but I just hate it. I did try some confirmed good one but they just make my skin feel really hurt, red, and guess what, break out! I still have a pack but just use to clean my eyelash curler or clean the glue from fake eyelashes (of course after remove them from my eye)

- Face scrub or oil-free face wash : Throw them away after only one use. They thin out my skin, dry it out, give me freaking acnes and just horrible.

And what I use to remove my make-up? Here they are :

- Oil cleansing : Yeah even you have oily skin, don't be scared by the word "oil", it's not that "oil", you should use them anyway. Because they can remove both eye make-up and face make-up, also oil cleansing is well-known as the deepest remover, you can feel that your skin is never clean this way. It doesn't dry out your skin at all and give you baby clean skin! My favorite is Shu Uemura oil cleansing high balance :

Use about 2 pump on you dry hand, apply the oil all over your face, massage inward so the oil can gently take off you make-up, then wet your hand, massage your face again, you will see the oil turn to light foam, massage it evenly to take off all make-up left in your pores, then rinse off with water. You can pump the oil to a cotton pad to remove eye make-up, it remove even waterproof stuff, confirmed by me! 

Price are £56.50 for 450ml bottle which is huge. And you don't need to buy anything else.

Also DHC cleansing oil is a good one as well and quite cheap to compare with Shu Uemura but hard to get here in UK, you could find it on Sasa.com

Cleansing water : You are living a busy life? To sleepy to spend 10min to wash your face? Well Cleansing water is your answer as it quicker way to remove make up especially when you don't wear too much make-up like just some concealer and mascara with lipgloss, but still need to remove them very carefully. Simply apply the water on cotton pad and use them to remove all make-up. Cleansing water actually even gentle than typical eye make-up remover but stronger effects. My favorite is Bioderma H2O Cleansing solution. You can find it on Ebay for £12.49 for 500ml bottle, but remember to buy from top ratted seller who confirmed sell authentic products. And if you have money, Lancome did a good one but pricy, well, your choice. Even they are good but I still recommend you a gentle face wash after all. But you can skip it anyway, just don't do it all time.

So that's it. Hope you find my post helpful. Remember a good make-up based on a good skin. It saves your time, your products and spread out you beauty. I always truly think that taking care of skin is more important that putting make-up. Stay pretty, girls!
