Disappointing product #2: Eyeko London Eye Makeup Remover Wipes

If you are a mascara addict like myself, you must have heard of Eyeko London. In a recent few years, its liquid eyeliner pencil also became famous thanks to the collaboration with the 'it girl', Alexa Chung. I have tried both its mascaras and  liquid eyeliner pencil and to be honest, I wasn't very impressed. Another hyped up brand... :-(


Eyeko eye makeup remover wipes: Type 1(matte)

Loreal Paris True Match concealer battle: Pen vs. Tube

We all heard about rave reviews about Loreal Paris True Match Touche Magique concealer. I also recently came across Fleur de Force YouTube videos where she talks about how great Loreal Paris True Match Super-Blendable Perfecting Concealer, AKA True Match concealer. I usually like the products recommended by Fleur de Force, so I went to Boots and got myself a True Match concealer. Here are my thoughts on the two concealers of the Loreal Paris True Match line.

One shade matches all?!! Review: Tony Moly BCDation All Master


For the past couple of years, I heard a lot of good reviews f South Korean makeup/skincare products in fashion magazines, newspapers, YouTube channels, etc. I remember a lot of my friends telling me about products from new high street brands such as Missha, the Face Shop and Skinfood nearby the university. This is more than 10 years ago. Since then, I feel like S.Korean brands have stepped up thousands of miles. From facial masks to the most adorable lip tints, they've got it all.

I did a little bit (?!) of shopping last time when I was in Seoul (Dec/2014-Feb/2015). Most of the products have been used about six months now and finally I feel quite confident talking about my thoughts about these products. I am going to start with BCDation All Master SPF30 PA++ by Tony Moly.
