Lipstick Queen Discovery Set

When I am in the UK, my lips are quite dry. I am always after a moisturize lipstick. I have heard lipstick queen is very good for moisturize as well as good lipstick so I have bought Lipstick Queen Discovery Kit to try.
住係英國既我嘴唇成日都好乾燥。我成日都搵緊比較滋潤的唇膏我聽講Lipstick Queen 滋潤,見到Discovery Kit就買試試
 
There are three lipsticks; Medieval, Saint Pink and Sigh. They are very different colours which is great to try for different occasion. The lipsticks contain Shea butter and vitamin E great for moisturize for sure.
一盒有三個唇膏;Medieval, Saint Pink and Sigh佢地都係好唔同既顏色,咁樣我就可以係不同的場合用喇唇膏含有乳木果油和維生素E,超滋潤的。
 

Lipstick Queen Discovery Kit includes:  
Lipstick Queen Lipstick Saint Pink 3.5g 
Lipstick Queen Lipstick Medieval 3.5g
Lipstick Queen Lipstick Sigh 3.8g 




Medieval: It looks quite like a deepish red, but actually is not as deep on the lips and it is good for everyday with a pop of colour.

好似好深,老老地個隻紅.不過搽上去又唔係喎.都好岩日日用,唔NUDE有DD色,唔錯的.
















Saint Pink : Perfect for everyday look , it is like a better colour of your own lips colour. I am in love with it at the moment and been using it everyday. It has replace my Mac lipstick !

超級岩日日用,佢好似比你自己唇色但更好.我宜家日日用,代替左我枝MAC了.












Sigh: It looks way darker than you think. It will be very good for evening look. It has a hint of shimmer but very minor. If you like a heavier make up , it might also suitable for day time.

好似好深,不過其實又唔係.個人呢個比較岩晚上用,有DD閃,不過唔太覺的.如果濃妝,可能早上用都可以得.
I wish it is longer lasting than it is however it is super moisturizing which is perfect for winter. 
我好鐘意佢夠潤,不過持久力一般般但係真係超級潤岩晒冬天..

It is available in many UK store, have a look online.
係好多英國地方都有得賣,上網睇睇啦

The benefit of Coconut Oil

As you all know my skin was in a very bad condition for the past few weeks. I could not dare to use any beauty products and was seeking for natural ingredient for my beauty routine. I did a lot of research online and found out Coconut oil and Aloe Vera is very good for you both health and for beauty .
I am going to talk about the benefit of coconut oil on this post.

My face was bad, it got better but it was extremely dry and I was afraid to seek for dermatologist to help my skin condition ( That is stupid to do) ... anyway I finally did.
Before I saw dermatologist , I was using coconut oil to simply clean my face as it said Coconut oil also helps in treating various skin problems including psoriasis, dermatitis, eczema and other skin infections, so I decided to give it a go.  My skin felt super moisturizes and it absorbed very fast ! It does not leave my skin feeling oily at all.

Simply as Cleansing for my face :
Put a spoon of coconut oil on my palm, warm it up and message on your face. I use a warm face towel to wash it off afterwards.

After I seen the dermatologist - recall my post - Diprobase  ( Sorry is in Chinese but you can easily use Google translate or let me know if you want English version or it)
I have used it as a few different ways

Make up Remover:
Put a spoon of coconut oil on my palm, warm it up and gently message on the face until make up are all dissolved then use a warm face towel to wash it off afterwards.

Exfoliate -  Face , Lip and hand
Mixed a little bit of sugar for exfoliate your face , lip or hand

Exfoliate - Body :
Mixed with equal parts sugar for a smoothing body scrub. Please use in the shower and beware it might get slippery.

Coconut oil can be used in variety of ways, here is some I found

On the skin as a basic lotion
To prevent stretch marks during pregnancy
As  massage oil
Use it to rub into scalp daily to stimulate hair growth
As an eye cream
and many more .... ..... ..... ....

It can also be used as cooking , it has a higher smoking temperature than most polyunsaturated or monounsaturated oils. If you're preparing recipes that require high temperatures you should consider coconut oil for this type of cooking. Unlike olive oil which will oxidise at high temperatures, creating free radicals and you can apparently use as a coffee creamer when emulsified into coffee.

Don't forget to choose the extra virgin coconut oil and it contains the most nutrition. I bought extra virgin organic coconut oil from Holland and Barrett for £12 as it was on offer at Holland and Barrett. You can easier buy this in supermarket or any other health food store. It is a lot cheaper than some beauty products and the variety of ways you can use it , it is fantastic. My skin feel silky soft after using it.



If you are interested please go online to see the benefit of coconut oil and make sure you are not allergic to it.


The above post is all my own opinion .

Diprobase 救番我

近6星期我都無咩講過skincare同makeup野喇,原因係呢6星期我塊面係一個極到令人depress既情況
話說生日前夕,打算扮下靚,敷下mask啦,點知.........成塊面紅到呢,重要腫個下先慘慘。本身諗過一,兩日無事同放假中無理到,點知過左一星期好左小小咁多。其實唔肯定係唔係mask,因為用緊kiehl's serum (之前用佢lip既野我唔得)

之後打算去睇政府,搵唔到我個註冊。我用左好多方法都唔得,超級down.但我如上上班好在無嚇壞小朋友,只係講笑話做左番茄人。
就係時間咁過,塊面超乾又紅超熱,所以我用E45,有小小'la la'地,潤左好多但都係紅。

最後終於睇皮膚科醫生(我教既小朋友爸爸,聽聞佢原來係英國好勁的)佢講左一句oh dear!...我....我...都回一句oh dear...心諗死喇,早知早睇,再問係唔係一世(小小dramatic ,不過真係6星期都唔退)佢講左一個醫學名詞同話一般敏感7日都會退,同有時對一些產品未必第一次發現唔岩,可能再用先會。又話e45有成份唔係就好,就介紹用Diprobase再之後比藥用既我

我用左Diprobase 一日,無'la' 好潤但有小小醫院味,一日時間無誇張,紅退左勁多到我有藥用cream大概5日,完全好似無野咁!我宜家用緊藥用cream ,零化妝。塊面感覺好似重好過以前咁。



大家用產品真係要小心同有事去睇,唔好拖呀!我好好彩無野。
我只係分享經歷,未必人人岩呢隻cream,所以大家有咩都係睇番醫生好。

Garnier Miracle Skin Cream review

I always prefer no make up make up for everyday. Especially like light coverage as my skin has been very good. 

I went to boot and found this Miracle cream. Miracle is very strong word so I give it a go. 

It is white when you squeeze it out the bottle 
Then when you rub it , it will turn to foundation colour 
Look it really matches the skin colour .

I really like it as it really matches my skin colour and give me a glow. If you are like me prefer light coverage , have a try and the texture and feel very lightweight on the face.

It is avaible in boots.

Emma hardie moringa cleansing balm review

I love this cleansing balm ! I use this to remove my make up and occasionally I will use it as face cleanser. I was using my Clinique make up remover and I went to a few stores to ask and some sales said they stopped the product (however I saw it in store a couple of days ago).
Anyway so I went ahead purchase Emma hardie cleansing balm as I had heard a lot of great thing about it.



It is just like all other cleansing balm, it is a bit like paste, when you message it will turn into oil, when you add my water it will turn into a bit milky feeling. I love the cloth come along with it. It is the softest face cloth I ever used.



I normally message on my face to remover make up then I use the cloth to wipe clean it. I will do that a few times until I see my cloth is clean.
It leaves my skin super soft and it smell divine. 

My first one is nearly finish and I have purchase another one already! 
Leave me a comment if you would like to know where to purchase.

What to bring for a hot and humid holiday ?

Hello everyone, I am very sorry I haven't upload anything for a while as you all know I am currently in holiday in Hong Kong.Over this month long holiday,  I might have done some haul. I can't wait to share with you all however I still have another week over there before I fly back.

Hong Kong is very humid, before I travelled there I brought with me some new products I bought and absolutely loving it and want to share with you all.

This Emma Hardie Amazing Face Natural Lift and Scuplt Moringa Cleansing Balm is abasoutely amazing. It helps me remove my make up easily and use the cloth came with it ( with warm water) I feel relaxed and clean every night before going to bed.I will definitely recommend everyone to try and I will order it again once I finished it. 


 I am also using body shop tea tree range. I know I will sweat quite a bit in Hong Kong as it is above 30 degree everyday and mostly sunny. To help me keep my skin clear I use the pore minimiser before I apply make up. My make up last all day and is clear throughout this entire time. Also I use the blemish fade night lotion. I am always a bit fan with that and last time I went shopping with Mr. B I bought it again. It really helps to reduce the blemish mark* ( not immediate result ) I have used it before and using it over 2 months now. 
How can I go somewhere without my Elemis product. I am using the face wash Pro-radiance cream cleanser which I am absolutely loving it. Also again to keep my skin clear I am using the fresh skin skin clear night serum ( can't believe half way already) it again my skin look clear in the morning! I will definitely purchase it again . I highly recommend the Pro- Collagen Marine Cream, it is a very light texture product and it really hydrate my skin.  Iove it!!!! 

Can't go without dry shampoo keeping my hair clean and fresh also give me some volume to my hair. 
I also use the urban decay eye primer keep my eye make up last all day as well as maybelline 24hr colour tattoo. It really helps my eye makeup last all day and didn't smudge at all! 


I hope this blog recommend you to try some of the products you are thinking to try or a good reference for you if you are going somewhere hot and humid on holiday in the near future. 

Have a fantastic day everyone x

Review on Elemis maximum moisture day cream

Hello everyone, 


As you all know that I love Elemis products. I have been using Elemis  maximum moisture day cream.  It smells quite sweet/floral and it does the work. Everytime i put it on makes me feel happy..  It is not too thick and too thin it is a very good balance for a day cream. It doesn't have UV protection so you will need to put a cream with SPF on top of this ..

Overall I will purchase it again.  saying that I am using the pro collagen marine cream now and loving it.  Oh dear...... Tough choice



Hope you all enjoy this review. Let me know which day cream are you using too .

Review on Origins Clear improvment Active charocal mask & The Modern Friction Natures gentle dermabrasion

Hi Everyone , Hope you all enjoying the lovely weather in the UK ! I just receive my residence permit today , it only takes 2 days, it was approved on Tuesday and receive it just now, thats so fast !

Anyway I would like to say I am absolutely loving my purchase from Origins products !!! The Clear improvment Active charocal mask is amazing, really clean my pores and my face look brighter after used. You might not look the best when you are using it as it is like light charcoal colour, but hey it works !!

The Modern Friction Natures gentle dermabrasion is the best scrub I ever use so far, I would use that once a week instead of twice and the scrub are quite big . IT MAKES MY SKIN FEEL LIKE BABY SKIN !!!! you need to buy it !!!!!

I havent try the other one yet so I will let you all know my comment on it later !


大家好希望大家都喜歡這個可愛的天氣在英國!我剛收到我的居住證今天,只需要2天,被批准在週二和接收它只是現在,這就是這麼快!

無論如何,我想說我絕對愛我的購買Origins產品!清除改良效果的Active charocal面膜是驚人的,真的很乾淨我的毛孔和我的臉看起來使用後更亮。你可能不看最好的,當你使用它,因為它是像輕木炭色,但嘿它的作品

現代摩擦性質溫和磨皮是我曾經使用迄今為止最好的去角質,我會用一個星期,而不是兩次,一次去角質是相當大的。它使我的皮膚感覺像嬰兒皮膚!!你需要買它!!

我還沒有嘗試另一個又那麼我會讓你知道我在它後面的評論
