  Did you know that one reusable makeup remover pad replaces over  1000 disposable cotton rounds / 500 single use facial wipes? Today I am sharing my thoughts on these makeup remover pads  kindly gifted from Kenzako - recently I shared on my instagram (with a reel)  mentioning that I’m relatively new in this low-impact journey, working slowly to change my lifestyle to reduce my carbon footprint on this planet.  I actually can’t believe how long it’s taken for me to get on board with reusable makeup remover pads, but I’m never going back!   A lil background about Kenzako Skincare - le brand is 100% vegan, organic and Australian-owned.  Their mission: "no unwanted extras, no toxins, just ingredients with purpose."  I'm sure we all agree that these days, we all want environmentally friendly beauty products -  Kenzako Skincare is leading the way! Kenzako makeup remover pads are essentially a sustainable alternative to makeup wipes so are perf...

Got enlarged pores? A dull complexion? Blackheads or breakout woes? I do. Well three out of the four anyway. Today I will be sharing you this mask that I've been loving dearly and have used for a few times now ---it's called " Subi Holo Dream Brightening Pore Minimizing Mask ", yes by the brand, Subi Beauty . Subi means " defence " in Korean and that's exactly what Subi products do - defend your skin .  Clay masks are awesome: it's the way-to-go to detox your skin and deep cleanse your pores to allow your skincare products to absorb into the skin and for makeup to apply well on a clean canvas. Because what other skincare product can you actually see working — drying out to unclog and detox pores in a matter of minutes? Clay masks feel great on the skin, and they’re practically made for easy at-home use.  If you’re unfamiliar with Subi Beauty , that’s because they’re fairly new (launched in 2019)! They call themselves “half Aussie, half Korean” – Aus...

Very seriously ready for the weekend!!!! HAPPY FRIDAY🤍 Good morning/night everyone, today we shall talk about.... dear, Klairs latest cleansing oil. But first, have you heard of dear, Klairs ? dear, Klairs is a popular vegan and cruelty-free Korean skincare brand that’s all about simplicity. They prioritise simple, effective ingredients in order to help those with sensitive or problematic skin. I’m a big fan of their Midnight Blue Calming Cream and their Soft Airy UV Essence SPF 50 .  (Do you guys want a review on these products?) ✨ So when Wishtrend reached out and send me the newest addition to their line,  dear, Klairs Gentle Black Fresh Cleansing Oil (not to be confused with their Gentle Black Deep Cleansing Oil though, which offers deeper cleansing) to try, I was beyond ecstatic - seriously – it’s so good! I have been using this every day since receiving it and I think this has set a new standard for cleansing oils for me.  ** A lil background --- I’ve a...

Do you know that..... Cica  is the latest K-Beauty ingredient taking over the skincare realm? Calling out to all sensitive skins - REJOICE, because it is the miracle ingredient for you. ✨ About CICA   Cica is actually a nickname for its scientific name: centella asiatica.  ** Fun fact of the day: centalla is a well-known herb commonly eaten in Asia, used for medical purposes in several countries and even tigers in Asia roll around in the plant in order to regenerate their skin! ** Why should we use cica skincare?   Like what does it do? Cica has a huge list of skin benefits, but it's most well-known for its healing, soothing, antibacterial, and inflammatory properties, meaning it is ideal for sensitised skin. And let's be honest, since we all have sensitive skin at times, cica skincare really do suit everyone. Cica skincare is great for conditions such as eczema, scarring, psoriasis and cellulite, and are incredibly moisturising.  We know how stress, pollution, ...

..... better person when I’m moisturised😉  Featuring: 𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝓶𝓸𝓼𝓽 𝓵𝓾𝔁𝓾𝓻𝓲𝓸𝓾𝓼 body lotion in my vanity Le Labo Fragrances Rose 31 body lotion, True Home Australia signature diffuser gardenia & white flowers; and lavender stitch soaps from Yume Natural Soap! 💛 Le Labo Body Lotion Rose 31 This was a gift, and had become my favourite lotion that I have ever discovered. Its smell is just stunning and the cream leaves my skin feeling silky smooth and fresh for hours. I would best describe this fragrance as woody and musky (very very different to my norm vanity - which is floral).  The nose behind this fragrance is Daphne Bugey.  Top notes are Rose and Cumin; middle notes are Rose, Vetiver and Cedar; base notes are Musk, Guaiac Wood, Agarwood (Oud), Olibanum and Labdanum. At first application, the cumin smell is very strong! Almost a body odour scent but that fades within 30 minutes and leaves a lovely woody drydown. At the beginning, I was a lil disappointed ...

I first came across this perfume (the lil sample size on the right) from one of the past mecca beauty loop boxes🙈immediately fell in love with just one spritz; but because of its hefty price tag, that’s why I haven’t *yet* splurge myself onto the full sized perfume. So when I found out the infamous 𝒹𝑜 𝓈𝑜𝓃 scent comes in a body mist form and available for such a good affordable price point, I was immediately sold to try it myself and oh em gee, it’s gorgeously fresh, light, floral & exquisite; a less mature note compared to the perfume but for such a luxury brand, I highly recommend you to try this mist if you haven’t yet! Though it’s a mist, it lasts for ages and a little goes a lon...
