FRESCA ORGANIC SKINCARE

A couple of weeks ago I received this box of Japanese organic skincare goodies from Fresca. At first I was a little hesitant about trying out the products as I have very sensitive skin, and I mean super sensitive. So to begin with, I took it slow by just using the 'defend me!' Day/Night Moisturizing Creme II, it has a mix of raspberry and herby kind of scent (same with all the others), and it was absolutely lush. The moisturizer is rather smooth when applied to the skin, the reason I said that is because some could be quite sticky and this wasn't which is why I love it.

Later on in the week I tried out the rest of the products like, 'cleanse me!' (cleanser), 'replenish me!' (toner), 'vitalize me!' (serum), 'shield me' (UV Herbal gel), 'restore me!' (eye gel), 'vivify me!' (face mask) and 'smooch me!' (lip treatment). 

Surprisingly enough, my skin didn't have an illergic reaction to the products, so whether your skin is sensitive or not, Fresca are one of the cosmetic brands you might want to consider. 

A few of my favorite products definitely has to be the lip treatment and the moisturizer.

PRODUCT REVIEW: SHU UEMURA LIPSTICKS

*Lipsticks provided by Shu Uemura

I've never been a big fan of red lipsticks because I could never find the right shade for my skin tone, to be honest i've always been scared it would make me look too over the top or it would make me look strange.  After trying out the Shu Uemura "Mon Shu Red" lipstick (the one i'm wearing in the pics), I genuinely love it.  At first, I was a bit worried it would be too bright for me, but surprisingly enough it actually compliments my skin tone.  I was also sent the "Baby Flame" lipstick too which is a more orange/red shade, suitable for paler skin tone.  

Red lips are one of the most classic make up trends, and it's huge this AW13, so i'm certainly going to wear more of it.  I've combined the "Mon Shu Red" lipstick into my everyday natural make up look, which fits perfectly well.  I'm loving this lipstick because it doesn't have a solid matte effect whereas, it's more transparent with a shiny finish and easy to apply.  The "Mon Shu Red" lipstick has made a come back to the Shu Uemura lipstick collection, so don't miss out! 

PS: Please excuse my awkward looking face, i'm really bad when it comes to taking upfront close-up shots of myself.

MY MULTI-COLOURED HAIR

Hey guys, I've already made two separate posts (here and here) with the exact same pics about my hair a couple of months ago, when I first got it done.  In the recent posts, you guys have been asking me about my hair, most of it being, is it chalked, permanent dye or extensions.  So I thought I'd make another post about it.  It's permanent hair dye, with a slanted undercut as you may see in the first pic.  I love the undercut, because it's fun to play around with, when I first got it my hairdresser dyed it purple which I loved, then after it longer I went back for a trim/shave and changed it to green.  This weekend I need to officially say goodbye to my multi-coloured hair, it's time to dye it back to one colour.  I'm going to miss it, but have to do it!

SOMETHING DIFFERENT

I went to get rid of my ombre hair today, I spent 7hrs at the hairdressers cutting, bleaching, washing, drying and dying my hair.  I am super happy with the results, the 7hrs were truly worth it.  Heres a sneak peak of my hair, I had the bottom of my hair shaved and coloured too.  A full pic will be up soon.

KIWI SPA

Before I went back to London, I went to visit KIWI SPA in Central, Hong Kong for a treatment.  It was so good to get pampered a day before my birthday. I highly recommend KIWI SPA if you're looking for a great place to get a quality foot massage or a full body massage.  I personally tend to get rather nervous when it comes to foot massage as I don't really like people touching my feet but I thought I'd give it a try for the first time anyway.  I was quite surprised at how much I enjoyed it, the  staff made me feel really relaxed and comfortable, I even added on a full body massage in the end too.  That was super amazing and I'll definitely be visiting KIWI SPA more often when I go back to Hong Kong in January.  

Do check out KIWI SPA if you're in Hong Kong!!

CHRISTMAS GIFT IDEA: JUICY COUTURE PERFUME

I'm a huge fan when it comes to perfume, I literally can't live a day without spraying perfume.  I in-fact think it's nice to have a signature scent, my main scent which I've been using for the last 3-4 years is Chanel Coco Mademoiselle but apart from Chanel I do like to spray other perfumes now and again.  I've recently been introduced to some Juicy Couture perfumes, to be absolutely honest I've never smelt any Juicy Couture perfumes in the past as it's not something I would normally go for.  But when I received my first bottle of JC I was quite surprised.  Juicy has recently launched a new collection of four different fragrances, each with their own distinctive scent and packaging.  Juicy Couture, Couture Couture, Peace, Love & Juicy Couture and Viva La Juicy.  My personal favourite from the new collection is Couture Couture.  I really love the packaging, each bottle from the collection has a special charm which could be used as an accessory which makes it extra special.

This might be the perfect christmas present for yourself or for someone special.

PRODUCT REVIEW: BARE MINERALS CONCEALERS

Courtesy of Bare Minerals

Well-Rested

You got to check out the Well-Rested Face & Brightener by Bare Minerals it makes your face glow instantly and it's one of my favourite products right now.  I love how it just makes you look wide awake once applied.  I highly recommend this to anyone who's looking for a skin highlighter/brightener. 

Stroke of light

This is a sheer-medium coverage.  This didn't really work for me but maybe it's because my under-eye dark circles are actually quite strong, but if you're looking for a concealer that has a light-medium coverage then this might be for you.

Correcting Concealer SPF 20

This concealer was perfect for me, it covered my under-eye circles and blemishes.  It wasn't too cakey and the coverage was perfect.

PRODUCT REVIEW: BARE MINERALS EYECARE DUO

Thanks to Bare Minerals, I've been trying out their two new products Renew & Hydrate Eye Cream and the Firming Eye Treatment for the last couple of weeks, when I first applied the two products I thought it had a strange smell it smelt a bit like antiseptic cream but don't worry, don't be put off by it.  I kind of like the texture of the two products though, the firming eye treatment sort of feels like glue it's slightly sticky but to be honest I have noticed that it has become less puffy around my eye area.  Bare Minerals has introduced ActiveSoil complex and other natural ingredients into the eyecare duo, which are able increase cell turnover, reduce the appearance of pores, fine lines and wrinkles.  If you're looking to change your eyecare products I think you could give this eye duo a go.

PRODUCT REVIEW: BARE MINERALS PURE TRANSFORMATION NIGHT TREATMENT

Following up from the last Bare Minerals blog post about this Pure Transformation Night Treatment sleeping mask, I've been using the mask for the last couple of weeks but before I go into reviewing the product I want to go through the easy steps of using this product first.

1. Shake the tub of powder before opening

2. Shake off any excess powder before applying

3. Apply the powder in a circular motion

4. Repeat 2-3 these steps 2-3 times for a even application

Ok so as I said I've been using the sleeping mask for the last week, when I first received the product I was quite excited to try it out, the first night I applied it I instantly saw the difference I actually did see a glow on my face, so I carried on using it for the next couple of days.  I have to be very honest, I have very sensitive skin so were actually talking about I can't use just any skincare or make-up brands, as we all know Bare Minerals use the most natural ingredients in their products so I thought it would be a great idea to try this out.  This might not happen on everybody but as I said I have very sensitive skin so maybe I was allergic to this sleeping mask but I noticed I've been getting some breakouts on my chin and a couple around my nose area which has scared me a little so I had to stop using the product within a week of using it.  

Just to make thing clear, Bare Minerals is a great brand but it was just that the Pure Transformation Night treatment sleeping mask didn't work out for me.
