TOKYO LOVE SOAP PREMIUM REVIEW

TOKYO LOVE SOAP PREMIUM

When I was in High School, I can still remember how my classmates bully me because of my appearance. I am short, my body color is black, I do have a lot of red acne, and my hair is curly. I'm crying everyday at school, and even don't want to go to school. I do cut classes sometimes and I am absent most of the time because I don't want to be bullied any more.

When my parents knew about this, my parents went to school and speak with our school principal about this bullying. I was transferred to different section wherein I had my first best friend names Shinji, she's Japanese actually.

I was happy being with Shinji because nobody can bully me any more, she's there to protect me. During sembreak, Shinji's family went to Japan. I was alone and no one to speak with. I really miss my best friend. Then suddenly the home phone rung, and it's Shinji on the other line. She told me that she has a gift for me, a beauty product famous in Japan. I was so excited to try it. After 2 weeks, Shinji went back to Philippines and gave me the gift named Tokyo Love Soap Premium. We searched about this soap and for some reviews online. Immediately we used the soap. 

On day 3, We can already feel the difference on our skin. My acne was lessened and my skin looks lighter. And I really love the smell of the soap, it last on my skin for hours and it's very relaxing.

Day 7, Our skin looks radiant and our classmates can even recognize the changes. They told me that my skin looks whiter and healthier.

Day 10, My old classmates is telling me that I am blooming and they are making friend with me already.

Day 14, all of the sudden my crush started to smile at me and asked for my number. He told me that even though from a far my skin looks radiant.

Day 54, My crush is my boyfriend now. I do have confidence now. I don't have any acne scars any more, my skin is fairer, my face is no longer oily, and my skin looks brighter.

Thank you Tokyo Love Soap Premium for this transformation and I promise to use you forever. If you guys are interested you can check and buy it at www.buytokyolovesoap.com.ph/. For a tip, buy it in bulk to have a great discount. :)

Soleil Tan De Chanel

Soleil Tan De Chanel

Hello Lovelies!

I hope you are all having a good week so far! I've actually been feeling really sick since the weekend. I'm hoping I get better soon because I'm going to London next Monday! Anyway today I wanted to show you one of the more recent additions to my everyday make-up routine! I actually bought this before Christmas from the oh so lovely Leanne but haven't actually properly got into using it up until the past couple of weeks. To be honest, I didn't use it for so long because I wasn't sure the best way to apply it. It is initially a bronzing base but I found when I put it on under my foundation it make me look a little muddy and I couldn't really make it work that way. I've tried it with endless brushes but I think I have finally found the best combination for me! In recent weeks I have been using Soleil Tan De Chanel to contour with and to give my face a bit of colour. Since I have become addicted to cream blushes in the past while I just think that this goes really well with them opposed to powder bronzers. I have been using the Real Techniques Expert Face Brush with this because I think it is the perfect shaped brush to contour with and to evenly disperse the product.

I will warn you that you do have to be careful with this bronzer. It's definitely not for everyone, sometimes it can tend to look a bit orangey so you do have to work with it sometimes to avoid looking tangoed! But when this is applied correctly and blended right it can look amazing! I have been completely obsessed with it the past while, I love everything about it! From the glow it gives your skin to the scent to the way it looks on my dressing table!

I would recommend if you are at a Chanel counter to have a look at this! As I said it won't be for everyone but if you use it right it will make your skin look amazing! 

Maybelline Mint for Life

Maybelline Mint for Life

Hello Lovelies!

I wanted to write about a nail polish that I have absolutely been loving lately. You all know I am a big fan of Essie's Mint Candy Apple but I think I may have found something better! (gasp!)  I had seen nothing but rave reviews about this little beauty so I thought it was about time I gave it a whirl!

It's slightly lighter than Mint Candy Apple and a lot more on the pastel side of things, which I really like. It was the formula that impressed me most though! On the bottle it claims to last up to 7 days which I would almost agree with, I kept mine on 5 days and only took it off because I chipped one of the nails which was my fault because I was trying to take my phone cover off. If that didn't happen I would say it would easily last the 7 days! The brush is perfect too, my favourite shape the fan. Literally have to run it over my nail once to get full coverage!

I definitely want to try some other colours from this range! What ones would you recommend? I'm liking the look of Hot Salsa so that may be my next purchase!

My MAC Lipstick Collection

My MAC Lipstick Collection

 Hello Lovelies! 

I hope you are all having a good week! I have wanted to do this post for quite a while now, but I always thought compared to other bloggers and youtubers my collection is slightly minimal. But I actually like my (ickle) collection and am really happy with the colours I have, so I thought why not! As you can see I have pretty basic colours and I don't have any of the crazier MAC colours and I'm sure a lot of you will think I have a boring collection but I decided to write about it anyway! So I'm sure most of you know I am a more neutral lip girl but I do like to brave a bold lip on a night out or on a special occasion, therefore it will come to no surprise to any of you that half of my collection are neutral shades. 

Hue
Without a doubt this is my favourite MAC lipstick of all time...maybe even my favourite lipstick out of all the brands of all time. This is my third tube of it! I think it is the most perfect nude lipstick, it is a pink toned nude so it doesn't give you that dreaded "dead-lip" look that so many of us try to avoid. It looks nice with a tan, without a tan. It's pretty much a good all year lip colour. The formula of this is a Glaze and I like that it isn't extremely opaque, you can build up the colour if you want. 

Creme Cup
I think that Creme Cup is Hue's mum. It's a slightly darker more opaque version. It's a slightly blue- under toned baby pink that I think would look good on any skintone. It is my go to everyday pink, you literally only need one layer of this on your lips and you're good to go. I think this is one of MAC's more popular shades and I can totally see why. As it's a CremeSheen formula it is also lovely and moisturising on the lips!

Shy Girl
This beaut was my first ever MAC lipstick would you believe. My lovely mum brought it back from New York for me and it was love at first sight. I wore it pretty much constantly for weeks after I bought it, but then moved on and went to other colours and forgot about it. Recently since the weather has been getting slightly better I have gravitated towards this again. It is a gorgeous peachy pink colour and I have been photographed wearing this and I just love the way it looks on me when I have a tan. Again another CremeSheen formula so lovely and moisturising too! 

Lady Danger 
Now we're on to the brighter colours. I got Lady Danger earlier this year by doing "Back to MAC". It was a lipstick I had seen over various blogs but never had the courage to buy it purely because I didn't think it would suit me, but since I could do the back to MAC I just decided to go for it and I can honestly say that I haven't regretted it one bit! I love this lipstick so so much! I have gotten so much use out of it since I've gotten it (which is unusual for me and a bright lipstick) 

Ruby Woo
I was after a classic red lipstick for so long and then I received this for Christmas this year and the hunt has stopped. I would normally tend to go for matte look lipsticks because you have the option of adding a gloss on top if you want to go for that look, so this was right up my street. Now when they say this lipstick is matte, they definitely mean it! Compared to Lady Danger which is another matte lipstick, it just feels completely different. It is a lot more drying so I would recommend a lip balm underneath but it is just the nicest red I've found so I am definitely willing to put up with the dryness for that!  

Girl About Town
And finally the most recent addition to my collection is the gorgeous Girl About Town. I won this in a Giveaway hosted by the gorgeous Vicky. Again it was one of those shades I had seen around for so long but never thought I would get away with it (I really need to start getting braver with my lip choices!) but again I am so glad I have this in my life now! It is a gorgeous cooler toned fuchsia pink that I honestly think would look gorgeous on any skin tone. It is an amplified finish so ladies beware! A little definitely goes along way with this one! 

So there you have it! My slightly basic MAC lipstick collection. I am really happy with all the colours that I do own and think I have good all rounders to cover me for all occasions but if you have any other recommendations for colours you think I'd like please let me know! I'd love to check them out!  

Lancome Hypnose Star Mascara

Lancome Hypnose Star Mascara

Hello Lovelies!

I want to introduce you to the latest mascara that has captured my heart! It was actually my mum that first introduced me to this mascara (I say introduce, I actually mean she bought it and I stole it to try it out!) before I bought my own. My mum loves her mascara. She must have tried nearly every brand under the sun, so when she told me that this was good I knew that was very high praise indeed. So of course I had to investigate further, and let me tell you this mascara is definitely a new favourite! 

I actually found the formula quite unusual, it's definitely not your traditional "wet" mascara. To be honest the first time I tried it I thought that it was a bad one and that it had dried up, but no apparently that is just the way it is and I have to say I love it! It is the blackest black and literally one coat is all you need!  The wand is a little triangular in shape which is perfect for getting into the very little lashes in the corners of your eyes and for bottom lashes too! As you can see it adds massive length to my lashes and it really holds the curl all day. The only thing I'd say about it is that towards the end of the day I did notice some flaking under my eyes but nothing too major! 

It is definitely not the cheapest option at €27 (ouchy) but if you want a splurge I think it's definitely worth it! Available from Lancome counters and online here

Garnier 2 in 1 Gentle Make Up Remover

Garnier 2 in 1 Gentle Make Up Remover

Hello Lovelies!

Bit of a mixed review today! As you all know I am devoted to my Bioderma and I constantly have a bottle of it on the go, but a few months back I randomly picked up this Garnier Make Up Remover because it was on offer. I initially thought it was just an eye make-up remover (reminding me alot of the Clarins Instant Eye Make-Up Remover in looks) but when I eventually read the bottle I was surprised to see it actually removes all make-up. 

The Garnier formula has two liquids in it, a cleansing oil and a cleansing water. I had only ever tried one cleansing oil before this one and lets just say it didn't go well but I was still excited to try this one! You have to make sure to shake the bottle well before using it so that the liquids are nicely mixed together. When they are, you pour onto a cotton pad and you are good to go. I found it did remove my make up very well (including tough mascara...They're Real I'm looking at you!) but after using it on my eyes for a few days they felt very dry and itchy so I just don't use it on my eyes anymore. I wouldn't say this has taken over my love for Bioderma, or come even close but it is a nice product. Have any of you tried this and the Clarins Eye Make-Up Remover? Are they similar?

The Garnier 2 in 1 Gentle Make Up Remover is available online here for €3.89.

Laura Mercier Foundation Primer

Laura Mercier Foundation Primer

Hello Lovelies,

Recently I wrote about what is in my everyday make up bag and I released that some of the products that I love and use on an everyday basis actually haven't really got a mention on my blog yet. So thinking that was slightly unfair I have decided today is the day to let you know about one of my all time favourite products- the Laura Mercier Foundation Primer. I do realise foundation primer may not be apart of every ones daily make up routine but for me my make up really wouldn't last an hour without it.

I have tried a few different brands, types and formula's of foundation primers but so far this is the one I have found to be the best for my skin and hasn't broken me out like some other primers have in the past. This primer is a very watery consistency and once applied to the skin it feels extremely lightweight and sinks in almost immediately. I also found that it kept my skin feeling nice and hydrated through out the day too. It leaves my skin feeling alot softer which helps with my foundation application leaving it looking alot smoother. It also helps it set nicely and the lasting power I find to have dramatically increased! One of the downsides to this is that it does have a slight smell which may not be everyones cup of tea, but once applied it is unnoticable!

It does come in two different size options, a 50ml tube and a handy 30ml travel size which is perfect if you want to give it a go before commiting to the full size which is expensive at over €30! I was lucky enough to find mine in a blog sale so I managed to get it cheaper, but sadly since I have fallen in love I will more than likely be forking out the full price..sob!

Have you tried this primer? I'd love to hear your thoughts!
