Why hello... again! Let's start by stating the obvious: IT’S BEEN A WHILE. So.. where have I been? This has been the longest blogging break I’ve ever taken in the history of this blog’s existence. Yep this post you're reading right now is my first blog post since June. I haven't blog for FOUR months. Well technically 3 months because I went to USA for 1 month. Anyways, I didn’t throw my computer off a cliff and quit in some dramatic fashion. No, I just quietly walked away and eventually forgot I even had a blog. It wasn’t intentional (which you'll know why soon) but the longer I was away from it, the more it became normal. Stepping away was an eye opener, in a good way. I felt like an outsider in the blogging world even more so when I realised that bloggers I considered to be blogging friends weren’t even following me anymore! If you’ve followed my blogging journey, you know that I’ve been blogging since about 2011 and that I’ve had approximately 4 different bl...

Happy Tuesday to you all lovelies! It feels like a Monday today, being that I'm back to work, it was really good to have a long weekend! In today post, I really want to share and rave about this product that I've been using for the 2 past years and I seriously didn't know why I didn't do a review of this product back then, when I did about the carbonated clay mask - you can read more about that here: LINK . This korean skincare product is made out of pig collagen (50% of its content) and at 50,000 mg of collagen peptide - one of the highest concentration of collagen products around! A little story about collagen and I: Collagen is the protein in the epidermis which helps our skin to retain water and increase elasticity. In other words, collagen is key to maintain a youthful looking skin as collagen production slows down after we pass our 20's. To cater for those who want to try and keep their youthful looks aka the majority of all women, many companies h...

Hey! True or false: applying false eyelashes can be very intimidating. False eyelashes are my saviour. I literally can’t live without them. I guess I’m real lash addict. However, you may then ask, hold on, how come you don't see me wear much false eyelashes based on my pictures on my instagram, yes? Well let me tell you a brief story, I discovered false eyelashes at the start of last year and have wore false eyelashes quite often since then, started working full time since end of last year, and because I wear glasses, there isn't a need to wear falsies as much, unless when I have contact lenses on - as it makes me look super bare that I can't face myself applying a dozen coat of mascaras because none will stay hold the whole day! The false eyelashes I wore often, were either lashes from Daiso or Ardell Demi Wispies - which is still my favourite, but now it's not the only one! Today, I will be sharing my first impressions and thoughts of these Cass Beauty  fal...

Happy Friday everyone! Welcome back to yet another post :) I did a get-ready-with-me chitchat on my snapchat account yesterday, (let's be friends! My username is: veleneeee), which made me realised that it has been a really long time since I've did a video or anything along that line! I was saddened by how un-creative I've been, telling myself, this can't do anymore, either I bare it all or give it all. I love to hear how you guys motivate yourself! Love to hear any tips :) Anyways! Today I'm going to be talking about Etude House Double Lasting Foundation ! I've mentioned about this on my instagram ( LINK ) and I've been using this on so many occasions, from everyday to night events and functions, now that I think it's the right time now, to share with you what I think about this! First of all, I love Korean BB Creams. Well love is an understatement really, obsessed is a better word. If you raid my storage of my makeup base - 90% of them are BB ...

Happy Tuesday everyone :) Today, I am sharing my thoughts with you all on a fairly new primer, called "Urban Decay: Optical Illusion Complexion Primer" (phew, that's long!). This was part of the latest Level 3 Mecca Beauty Loop Box and I'm so glad a sample was in there for me to try! I love finding new primers, eventhough I already have a holy grail (which is VDL Lumilayer Primer - full review is here ), and in my past experiences, I've tried a handful of primers, and none of them blew me away like VDL! So it was still really exciting and intriguing for me to experiment with a new primer out in the market! (who agrees me with this?) First impression: Before I start, if you've never heard of this before, Urban Decay has recently came out with three new complexion primers! These are as follows: De-Slick, Self-Adjusting & Optical Illusion! And luckily, I got a mini sample of Optical Illusion in my beauty loop box to test it out! So what is this ...

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...
