JEGGINGS.

Usually I find that when I see a trend I hate, I end up trying it out and liking it. However this is one trend I can say I definetly won't be embracing. I mean how can they even look flattering?! In my opinion they look 'ok' on super skinny legs but otherwise they look so unflattering! its like seeing those people that wear that cheap stretchy denim thats way too tight for them. Ew ew.

Skin Haul

Yay, so my friend has come back from Hong Kong and got me the SKII whitening source masks but I still haven't got round to using them yet as I'm always working and I prefer putting one on before I go to bed so my skin has the maximum amount of time to absorb the mask.

I also ordered some more stuff online the other day, one of them being the Laneige water sleeping pack. I can leave this lightweight mask on while I sleep for it to work overnight... shame I have a tendency to roll around all over the place...

I also bought the white C toner by Kanebo, I can't remember how long I haven't used a toner (and how I managed to survive!) as i was hoping to find the perfect one and this one is really good so far, it has some moisturising properties but my god have I felt the effects, my skin doesn't feel tight all day! I also bought Oslee's dark circle eye mask, another one to put on when I go to bed - and its buy one get one free!

Oh and I almost forgot about this. I intended to get the SKII aqua physics serum too, I knew it was going to be small but I didn't realise it was going to be THIS small and with about an eighth of the container with product in (practically nothing). Then also found the word 'sample' on the back of it - it never stated i was buying a SAMPLE! So very peeved... very peeved indeed...

YT LOVE 01

CUTE! CUTE! CUTE!

My biggest icon has to be Barbie, and this video sums it up perfectly!! I favourite all the minidresses and one pieces, funky funky funky

I must say, even though most of those models look quite ill, I'd love to adopt a pair of twig pins like theirs - the ultimate leg oil is in search as of pay day!!

Eyelash Growth: Review: Talika - Lipocils

I've been applying this product once in the morning and once in the evening, the product is also suppose to help condition your lashes as well as helping them grow. So I been using this product for 3 weeks now, although it says it will take up to 28 days to work, I found that my eyelashes have grown considerably already (although not as fast as I'd hoped, but I think I'm just being impatient). Considering what you pay for (retailing at £20 from hqhair.com) its actually a really good product! This product comes in a mascara form and has a brush like it, the only thing I don't like about that is that you have to try and get the products onto the root as much as possible to promote the growth and the hairs on the wand makes my eye feel quite uncomfortable when I try to apply it. I also want to try other eyelash growing products such as Lilash (when I'm not so skint) as I've heard some really good reviews from this also... but retailing at about £70 from ebay I think I will have to save up a while!

Review: Chanel: Exceptionnel Mascara

I was given a sample of this after buying something over the counter in HOF. Usually, I don't wear mascara with my makeup as my lashes are really short and thin, putting on any kind of volumising and lengthening mascara does not make a difference and I always find smudge marks near my lower lashline after a couple of hours - not a good look! But since using this, I found that just one application has made my lashes look really thick, length-wise not much has gone on but the best thing is that I have finally found a mascara that doesn't leave ANY smudge marks! The brush is made up of a line of 'teeth' and alternately a line of hair, the teeth makes sure that the lashes aren't clumped together, which works really well as it is a very volumising mascara, shame the brush is big though, but apart from that, amazing product.

Brightening/Whitening Skincare

I am such a big fan of whitening/brightening facial products. I love the natural glow that comes from your skin without having to apply tons of illuminating bronzer or highlighter, it just makes you look so healthy. Wierd to say but I quite like having light skin, I alway use the highest SPF whenever possible and I have this theory that because I'm oriental, we don't get the same olive/bronzey tan as western people tend to get, instead, I find I go a bit yellow.

So I can't wait to finish my current skincare products and go on to try some of the following whitening ranges:

Dior: Snow

Dermalogica: ChromaWhite TRX

SKII: Whitening Source

Shu Uemera: White Recovery Ex

Euoko: W

Jenni Kayne S/S 09'

Loving Jenni Kaynes spring summer collection, nice and casual yet so stylish. Fantastic colour palette of royal blue, nudes, brown and gold.

Another thing that i'm loving is the top knots!! Super cute, although I've seen this trend in Hong Kong a couple of years ago, its nice to see it on the catwalk as well. I can't wait to try out this hairstyle once my hair extensions are here as my natural hair is too fine =(

Pout Haul

So I thought I'd do some swatches of the eyeshadows since I didnt have time to do any in my video (sorry the quality of the swatch picture are a tad bad). The colours are very pigmented, the lighter colours of each set are irridescent. I also bought a loose transulencent powder and a lip balm as well. The loose powder I used once and it seemed ok, it stayed on for most of the day, but nothing special really. The lip balm smelt gorgeous, although I was hoping it would be a bit firmer, it felt a little too sticky for my liking to be honest, but if your a sucker for cute packaging like me..!

Since Pout has now closed their UK stores, there are still a number of places where you can purchase whats left of the stock, I bought mine from thecosmetichouse.com and blushcosmetics.com, theres only limited stock so buy while you can!
