Counting down to Christmas with The Body Shop

*6th day of December and counting down to.... 19 days till Christmas!*

Good morning to you all lovely beings! I hope you are having a lovely week so far! Finally hump day aka middle of the week I tell ya! Though this week has been flying with the past 2 days - being super hectic at work!

And now here's the question..... Have YOU (yes you!) started counting down to Christmas? Are you ready for Christmas or are you feeling a little bit overwhelmed? I'm one of those people that has to write down a list for absolutely everything so I am completely prepared, otherwise I'd be that person which leaves everything till the last minute if I didn't have my lists. (anyone with me?)

First off how am I counting down to Christmas this year? If you haven't yet seen from my insta-stories/instagram, this year I'm counting down by opening my first ever (yep the first one!) advent calendar from the body shop.

This one is a 25 days of Christmas advent calendar and it’s taking all of my strength not to open all the boxes right now. It tells you what you get at the back of the box, but I haven’t looked because spoilers. I love Body Shop everything, from their amazing body lotion scents to their lip balms (I used to have an addiction where every time I go to a Body Shop shop I would end up buying a new flavour lip balm every time!... so can you guys imagine the collection I have?) so I’m really excited about this one!

GAME ON


From body care and skincare, to make-up and accessories
Here are what I have been opening up to since day 1!



  • Day 1 - British Rose shower gel - yum! Have been using this in the shower and it's amazing!
  • Day 2 - Bunny headband - picture of me wearing it - LINK - I wore my ears to support #foreveragainstanimaltesting 🐰
  • Day 3 - Soap Frosted Plum - smells amazingggg!
  • Day 4 - Strawberry gel lotion - MY FAVOURITE!
  • Day 5 - bath sponge! perfect!
And now, we're up to day 6! It is.....



.
Eye definer it is! Shall tryna rock this in my makeup tomorrow!

And so, now is your turn. - How are you all counting down to Christmas this year?

Do you have an advent calendar, or an advent candle that you use?

Or perhaps, do you check the days off on your calendar or in your planner?

Do you have a count down going on your phone?

I’d really love to hear what ideas you all have for counting down to Christmas!

Until next time!

Love,
Melon xoxo

Takami Skin Peel Review

Image
Apparently this is ranked #1 in Japan so I thought to myself, ooh let's try this! It then prompted me to ask the owner at Perth Fabulous Beauty about it, the price ($79) I admit, initially threw me off. I felt hesitant because I asked myself, would I take this bet to try this out if in case it doesn't work out at the end? So after a night's thought, I went to the shop..... and bought it! I have been using this little magic for a week now.. and so far, here are my thoughts. You must be wondering what is this product about right? Well Takami Skin Peel proves to soften and beautify skin. It is said to be that the fluid feels exactly like water with no artificial flavour or any added fragrance. It is also said to "solve a variety of skin problems, such as pores, blackheads, acne, fat particles, etc.." "And if you persist using it everyday, you will certainly see the effects." And just from that rough translation, it felt like I need to try this prod...

"Less perfection, more authenticity."

  Authenticity, living life being true to who you truly want to be. Rediscover your authentic self from within. Align yourself to your values and goals and live life authentically, and do not waiver in the face of mediocrity and conformity. May today’s quote (one of my favs) inspire you to be true to who you are. I truly believe that if you’re your authentic self, you have no competition💫 A little personal post today -  I used to own a lil blog where I just write my heart out but for now, I'll spill my thoughts here :) The purpose of our lives is to be happy right? Every time we make a decision, our most important question should be - will it make me happy? Nothing can be greater than our own happiness. It is our life and we need to choose what to do with it. Breathe and keep breathing. Keep trusting the journey you are on. It might not make sense right now. It might feel utterly chaotic and overwhelming. You might feel like sometimes you're living a life that isn't even y...

Kailijumei Jelly Flower Lipstick Review

Image
When this flower jelly lipstick first came out, so so many people on the internet talked and raved about it; and got crazily obsessed over this, last year (?)..... but is it any good with its pretty looks? And yep, here I am, joining in the craze half year later, putting it to the test to see if it lives up to its appearance! Front note, I did a mini review post on my instagram a while ago, link is here if you want to read! I could remember the times when the range was out of stock in plenty of websites and asian cosmetics stores here in Perth, but now that the internet obsession of this has calmed down a little, I thought to do give you all a detailed review so you can decide if you would want to try these out! First impression & packaging: Besides the cute appearance it has, which reminds me of the enchanted rose from Beauty and Beast (with a flower and gold specks encased within a clear jelly like bullet!), let's talk in-depth about the product itself! When I fi...
