Holy Grail Primer! Hourglass Veil Mineral Primer Review

I used to think that a primer is unnecessary in my makeup routine. The first primer I tried was the Benefit Porefessional, which was so silicone-y that I felt it was suffocating my skin by clogging all the pores. It did an awesome job in smoothing out my skin, but it absolutely wasn't comfortable to use. The other one I gave a chance to was the Smashbox Photo Finish Primer Light, and it did virtually nothing for me. But when I decided to splurge on the Hourglass Veil Mineral, my whole perspective changed - I now cannot live without a primer! Boy, it was truly a holy grail material and definitely deserves all the hype it has gotten. By now you probably know that this product is amazing, but let's talk about how and why this has become my all-time favorite! 

Innisfree Soybean Energy Essence [Light] Review

There are more than a handful of dupes for the cult-favorite SK-II Facial Treatment Essence, and Innisfree Soybean Energy Essence is among the more recently released ones. Instead of fermented rice, Innisfree uses fermented soybean. The one I got is a lighter version, the Soybean Energy Essence [Light], which is more suitable for my oily-combo skin in this hot weather. I haven't had much luck with fermented products, but being a beauty junkie, I can't help but to give it a try lol. Without further ado, let's get into the review!

Mamonde Lotus Micro Mild Foam Review

There was so much hype around this bestselling cleansing foam in Korea that I had to get one for myself to see what's so amazing about it. Apart from being Allure's Editor's Pick, it also won Ceci magazine's K-beauty award in the cleanser category. Interested to know if it lives up to the hype? Keep reading to find out! 

Innisfree F/W 2015 Real Fit Lipstick 'No. 6' and 'No. 8' Review & Swatches

Cheers to the first post of 2016, and we're starting off with one of my favorite Korean brands! Whenever Innisfree releases a new lip product, I rarely misses the chance to give it a try. I've tried many of their various lip product formulas and I gotta say they are quite decent while being affordable. So when they released their latest lipstick collection for F/W 2015, I did not hesitate to add them to my huge Innisfree stash. There are so many pretty shades that would be gorgeous for the season so it was rather hard to make a decision. I ended up with two very different shades that are perfect for daily wear - one a bright milky orange and another a deep rosy pink. 

Skin Savior!: SKIN & LAB Dr. Color Effect RED SERUM Review

When it comes to skincare, I can be pretty picky and only the best of the best made it into my prestigious holy grail list. Therefore, to call a particular product a 'skin savior,' it must have given me a spectacular result. Dr. Color Effect: Red Serum from Skin & Lab definitely deserves the 'skin savior' title as it exceeds my expectation in every ways - it has not only become a holy grail for me but also has perhaps become the best serum I've ever tried in my beauty junkie life. If you're curious to know more about this award-winning, best-selling product, keep on reading for the review (or rather, a rave).

Lipsticks from Born Pretty Store: Liphop, Mimididi, and Sugarbox Reviews & Swatches

Some months ago, I had a chance to collaborate with Born Pretty Store who generously sent me a couple of products to try out. I had not heard of the store before they reached out to me, but I was amazed by the huge collection of affordable makeup they had in the store. It was truly a difficult decision to choose from the big selections. I managed to pick 3 lipsticks, a blush, and a pair of false lashes. In this post, I'll go over the lipsticks first. The blush and false lashes will be talked about in another upcoming post. Without further ado, let's head straight into the reviews!

Guerlain Lingerie de Peau Foundation Review

Not very often that I get complimented on my skin, so imagine how delighted I was when my friend commented on how spotless my skin looked and asked if I had anything done. Of course, I didn't have anything done on my skin, be it facials or laser treatments. It was simply a result of a good foundation! At that moment, I knew it is time to write a review on this wonderful Guerlain Lingerie de Peau, which is raved by many as one of the best light-to-medium coverage foundations in the market. 

Mamonde Rose Water Bubble Foam Review

I've heard a lot of good things about Mamonde Rose Water Toner, but unfortunately it is not available in Bangkok so I got the Rose Water Bubble Foam to try out instead. If you have read about natural skin care, you'll know that rose water has been used in beauty routine since ancient times due to its amazing benefits on skin - anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, and antioxidant properties are just a few examples. Because of my passion in natural cosmetics, I'm always seeking out for skin care with powerful natural ingredients. Well then, let's see what I think about this particular product.

And, thank god I did! It totally blew me away with its awesomeness. If you have oily to normal skin, or are residing in a hot and humid area, you will want to continue reading to find out why I love this line so much.

Fresh Rose Floral Toner Review

Fresh has always been one of my favorite brands since I discovered their sugar lip balms years ago. I love their concept as well as their refreshing take on skincare. Since I ran out of my second bottle of Laneige Clear-C Advanced Effector, I decided to revamp my routine a bit and bought the Fresh Rose Floral Toner to try out. I actually wanted to get the Black Tea one but it seems to be too hydrating for my current skin condition. If you are interested in this product, keep on reading!

Maybelline Clear Smooth All In One Shine Free Cake Powder [New Formula] Review

It's been like ages since I bought any Western drugstore makeup, since nothing looks that interesting to me lately. However, I somehow went into Boots and got my first product ever from Maybelline, the Clear Smooth All In One Shine Free Cake Powder. The ridiculous heat must have been the reason for this impulsive purchase. Well, when it seems impossible to keep oils on your face at bay in this harsh summer, you are automatically drawn to anything claiming good oil control. Keep reading to find out if this product stays true to its claims!
