Pink Truffle, Peach Parfait, Pink Lemonade, Berry Smoothie

Strawberry Shortcake, Sugar Plum, Creme Brulee

Since the release of the Revlon ColorBurst Lip Butter in Australia, I have heard so many great things about them and was desperate to get my hands on some. What disappointed me however, was the retail price of $20 which is fairly expensive for a drugstore product. I decided to make my purchase on eBay as it was less than half the retail price including shipping and will recommend this method for anyone else looking for these beauties. I ended up buying 7 shades overtime, all of which I love but my favourite has to be Pink Truffle. They are a balm with a sheer to medium colour that hydrates the lips with its mango, shea and coconut butter formula. I am not a very big fan of makeup but I have to admit, this line is the majority in my small makeup collection and I would definitely purchase the remaining shades.

K-pop, the Korean styled music and culture had seen a rapid expansion of influence in recent years. With the rise of K-pop, it had also bring up the rise of Korean fashion and Korean styled make-up. In the following we will go into some of the most noticeable features and characteristic of a Korean make-up.

Firstly, a very white and pale foundation. As females in Asian region generally have a face shape which goes better with white skins, Korean make-up usually make use of the formation in order to whiten their look.

Secondly, a long and slightly upward eyeliner. The Korean make-up place quite an emphasis on the eyeliner as this make the eye larger and brighter, and this also give the eye a more dynamic shape.

Thirdly, Korean make-up usually come with a bright and sharp red lip gloss. Lastly, a light cover of eyeshadow to finish off the whole make up.

Pink, Red, Deep Red, Deep Red Brown, Bright Orange

Orange, Neutral Brown, Coral, Chocolate Brown, White

After receiving inspiration from Beautifymeeh in her Korean Ulzzang makeup tutorial where she demonstrated a gradient lip with this MustaeV 10 Lip Pro Palette, I set out on my journey of hunting one down. It emptied about $50 from my pockets excluding shipping but in my opinion, it is definitely worth its price because of the sheer, glossy texture that conditions the lips and lasts long after being applied. The slim and compact palette makes for easy transportation and storage thus I am able to carry it with me for touch ups throughout the day. The shades can be used individually or mixed together to customize a new shade but my favourite has to be Coral and Orange.

Hello Beauties.

I wanted to begin this blog post talking about the importance of a decent skincare routine. One should feel confident and beautiful in their skin, but for many people this is certainly not the case! For instance I have suffered from moderate to severe acne, which has left some faint scarring in my cheeks. I feel that a great skincare routine can help manage this immensely. 

First of all it is important to know your skin type. Either normal, combination to oily, sensitive and/or dry. Kora Organics provide a set package for all skin types. Each of these products are 100% organic, containing no chemicals and only using the goodness of natural ingredients such as avocado, sandalwood and noni. As my skin is very oily, yet is prone to become very sensitive and dry, these products adapted to my skin and gave it a healthy glow without irritating it or making me break out. The cream cleanser had a wonderful creamy texture and the scent was absolutely divine. Despite the very creamy and moisturising texture, the cleanser thoroughly cleaned my skin and left it feeling hydrated and beautiful. 

The only negatives about the Kora Organics range is the price and size of the products. Not only did the bottles change, but the size of them did also. The products are now at least 20g smaller and if I am not mistake the price has also increased. These products are probably too expensive for people to use on a regular basis, although there is absolutely no doubt that they are worth every cent. 

Always keep in mind that despite the fact that someone may have the same skin type as you, a particular product that works for them may not always be the case for you!
