Review: Innisfree Jeju Orchid vs Cauliflower Mushroom range
Today, I’m reviewing the Innisfree Jeju Orchid and Innisfree Cauliflower Mushroom (aka Innisfree White Fungus) range. Let me start by saying “cauliflower mushroom” and “white fungus” are both terrible names for a beauty product, even if that is the active ingredient. That’s the elephant in the room with this range. I was lucky enough to […]

Review: Innisfree Perfect 9 Eye Cream vs Innisfree Orchid eye cream
So I’m going to review two similar products, today. The Innisfree Perfect 9 Eye Cream and the Innisfree Orchid Eye Cream. If you’ve been following my blog for long, you’ll know I am a HUGE fan of K-beauty brand Innisfree. I discovered them in China, where there are Innisfree stores in airports, train stations, malls […]

Review: Nature Republic Ginseng Royal Silk Watery Cream High End Luxury K-beauty
In this article I’m going to review the high-end K-beauty product Ginseng Royal Silk Watery Cream. It costs about £75 or $100USD from Nature Republic’s official website. For that, you get a full-size jar and this contains 50ml (just under 2oz) of product. Packaging and first impressions: It comes in a green cardboard box with […]

Review: Laneige Water Sleeping Mask Lavender
While I was in Seoul, I was able to get a bunch of very exciting K-beauty products, including the Laneige Water Sleeping Mask. I bought the Laneige Water Sleeping Mask in two different scents: Original (the blue jar) and Lavender (purple jar). In this review I’ll look at both, and explain why I bought the […]

Tested: The Holy Grail concealer for blue undereye circles, dark circles and tattoos.
I’ve been working on my under-eye blue circles for a few years now. Every time I get on top of them with a great skincare routine to erase dark circles, I forget to keep going with my routine then they make a comeback. Thanks, ADHD. So it’s no surprise, then, that I have tried a […]

It’s Skin Q10 Effector review vs Q10 supplements: Inside or outside?
After my article yesterday about eating beautiful, I thought I’d talk about whether the It’s Skin Q10 Effector Serum is better than taking a Q10 tablet as a supplement to improve your skin, because it’s in a similar vein. Basically, Q10 is a beauty ingredient that’s supposed to be good for anti-ageing, if we believe […]

The K-beauty regime: Is it for you?
The K-beauty regime is such a big deal in East Asia. It’s also popular to a lesser extent in China (you can buy the products but people don’t necessarily use them all, and there’s fewer brands to choose from in China, but there are still a LOT of brands; it’s just a testament to how […]

Watson’s Cucumber Facial Mask
There’s a shop called Watson’s in China and Thailand that’s basically like the cosmetics part of CVS or Walgreen’s in the US. It has its own-brand of cheaper stuff, and I thought for about 80 cents, I’d try one of their cucumber face masks. BTW, I really hope the pictures load for this, but I’m […]

Five Asian Sheet Masks
Today I’m going to review some sheet masks that are K-beauty (and also C-beauty… China beauty. Yeah that’s a thing. And they’ve got some decent stuff available). By the way, in case you’re wondering what happened, I scheduled my posts, one a week, for the last 4 weeks, and I thought it was a glitch […]

First impressions: Heroine Make Mineral BB cream.
I recently bought the Heroine Make Mineral BB cream so today I’m going to write about my first impressions. Both my cameras really struggled to capture this product very well, because the tube is very reflective metallic pink (it’s very pretty). It has SPF50 and PA+++ which means the UVB and UVA protection are very, […]
