By ProductWith 0 comments

Now isn’t it weird to think that before the 20th Century not many people wore makeup, the natural look was seen to be more beautiful! But here we are in the 21st Century where makeup stores pop up everywhere and we are all so tempted to buy a new product, whether it be a new palette or a new foundation. Now, the common looks/trends that many of us aspire to recreate via tutorials, well they have varied throughout the decades. It wasn’t all about contouring and highlighting.

Siam Center in Bangkok
By BrandsWith 0 comments

Shopping Bangkok is unreal. They’re just one step ahead. From the service you get all the way to the fine detail they put into the shop display, I’ve never seen attention to detail quite like it. I was walking through Siam Centre and this amazing skirt and jacket caught my eye, I was admiring how amazing the design was when I looked up realised the whole ceiling was made from wood, calved into skulls and flowers! I don’t know who the shop designers are, but the creativity and detail are something they don’t take lightly!

Let’s start with fashion…Asian fashion is amazing to begin with, they manage to balance the Eccentric fashion so well. Styling a plain white T, collets with the most amazing colourful trainers. Half the dresses I saw in the shops looked like they had just come from the met gala or fashion week

By Brands, ProductWith 0 comments

​I love sheet masks full stop. Who doesn’t? It seems like they’ve just become all the rage, where have they been all this time! I’m traveling at the moment which makes them the perfect accompanist to take along with me.

The first face mask I’ve tried since being in Australia was the Nip + Fab Dragons blood fix hydration mask. For £7.50 the mask claims to hydrate – due to the Hyaluronic Acid and sooth and plump the skin. Perfect! Just what I need.

When I opened the packet it just looked like any other face mask, a white sheet… but after reading the instructions I realised this wasn’t the case.

Air pollution – the modern-day curse for our skin.
By Brands, Industry News, ProductWith 0 comments

​Prof. Jean Krutmann (director at Leibniz Research Institute for Environmental Medicine in Germany), highlights a shift in what’s important regarding skin protection within the last 20-30 years. UV damage from the sun use to take the spotlight; these days, however, the potential dangers of air pollution on the skin is gradually creeping onto everybody’s radar. The scientific community is realising the harmful affects it has on our skin.
Krutmann quotes “air pollution has the potential to keep us busy for the next few decades.” & it would do; with the increase in urbanization and industrialization.

Environmental tech firm Plume Labs found that Central London has already breached EU nitrogen dioxide limits on 127 days since New Year’s Day 2018, which means that 80% of the time, illegal levels of toxic air are cloaking Oxford Street.

What does this mean for our skin?

Want full lips without the injections?
By Brands, ProductWith 0 comments

In today’s society, everybody is after the ‘Kylie Jenner’ plump lip look and if you do not want to undergo the cosmetic procedure of having dermal filler then Too-Faced may have just the right product for you, this means no filler or injections.
The gloss retails in stores both online and on the high street for around £10.00- £12.00 for a mini gloss and £22.00 for regular sized lippy where you get 4ml of product, some lip fillers can cost around £250.00 for 1ml of Juvéderm and often much more. So surely it makes more sense to buy a lip plumper for £10.00- £22.00, instead right? No Pain, no hefty bills, no regrets…

Who are Tony Moly?

Tony Moly is without a doubt one of the cutest South Korean brands out there. What really makes them stand out from the rest, are its innovative ingredients and the MOST adorable packaging.

They have a full range of absolutely “to die for” packaging from egg shaped pore tightening cooling packs to tomato shaped hand creams. Alongside what some would call weird, or others would call incredibly innovative ingredients including their fermented snail secretion and bamboo sap skincare range.

& How did I discover this banana hand cream?

My most recent trip to Hong Kong had me stumbling upon a pop-up store in a shopping center for Tony Moly. Don’t worry, you can still purchase this hand cream in the UK at Selfridges for £9.50.
