Unboxing - Glossier



Finally I got a chance to try out the raved brand Glossier. I decided to pick out a few products to try out. 

As most of you may know, the founder/CEO is Emily Weiss. When I saw a photo of her on the internet I thought to myself: "She looks so familiar, where have I seen her from?" Turn out she was the "super" intern at Teen Vogue who worked with Lauren Conrad (hand up if you watched reality tv show called The Hill, lol).

Anyway, if you're interested to see what I've picked up please keep on reading.

A cute welcome postcard

How cute are the faces inside the envelope?

The products were placed in a cute pink bubble wrapped ziplock bag
The package comes with a sheet of cute stickers plus a sample of their moisturiser

Left to right: Milky Jelly Cleanser, Cloud paint in Dusk, Boy Brow in Brown and balm dotcom in coconut flavour
I love the packaging of everything. It's comes in an ordinary box cardboard box but don't be fool! As soon as you opened the box, the inside is a pretty light pink colour. The lid has a statement "You look good" and the bottom of the box has a cute smiley face and a waving hand.

All the products were sealed up in a pink bubble wrapped ziplock bag. A sheet of cute stickers is included if you want to add a touch of cuteness to your products.



The Glossier Milky Jelly Cleanser is the main product I was most interested in trying. It has a unique texture mixed between a gel and lotion. This cleanser has a nice scent and does a good job in cleansing my face without drying my skin afterwards (some cleanser I've tried had strip all the oil of my skin, leaving it to be super dry).




My lips have been extra dry and chapped during the cold Melbourne weather and I've heard good things about the balm dotcom so why try it? It comes in a few different flavours but I was most drawn to the coconut one. 

To be completely honest, I find the formulation of this balm to be extra thick which makes it hard to squeeze the product out of the tube. Even though it does a good job in keeping my lips hydrated, I find the Lucas Paw Paw ointment (Australian product) to work just as well or even better and it only cost 1/3 of the price.



I had to try the Boy Brow since I heard so much about it. I wasn't sure which shade to get between the black and brown. I decided to go for the brown as I thought black might be too intense for my liking (glad I picked the right colour for me!). 

I find it to work great on my brows. I used it in combination with a brow crayon but I find using on it own works just as well. 



Last but not least I've picked up Cloud Paint, a cream blush in Dusk. It's a nice subtle colour which brighten my face like a natural blush. Without blush I just look like a sick person deprived of irons lol. 

I like the packaging as it looks like a tube of paint but I find it difficult to control the portion of the product coming out. Even a gentle squeeze can result in a large amount of product to spill out. 

There are so many other Glossier products I want to try such as the serums but I have so many skincare and make up I need to use up first. I'm sure I will make other Glossier order in the near future. 

If you have tried any of their products, please leave a comment below to let me know which are your favourite products.

Mecca Max - New beauty brand


Hi Lovelies,

Mecca has come out with their own beauty line known as Mecca Max. It was launched a few weeks ago on the 1st of August. Like any other beauty enthusiast, I was curious to see what they've brought out to the beauty market.

The range consists of products such as foundation, concealer, eyeshadows, lipsticks to make up remover, beauty tools and nail polishes. I've decided to pick up 3 products which includes a lipstick, bronzer and a nail polish.

Priceline 40% off cosmetic haul


Hi lovelies,

Thought I'll do a quick blog post today on my recent Priceline haul. Priceline is a drugstore here in Australia and last Wednesday and Thursday they had their 40% off cosmetics sale. For us Australians, that's music to our ears considering that make up are quite expensive here, even drugstore brands. 

I was only planning to repurchase one of my favourite drugstore foundations but as always, I ended up picking more things then intended.

March 2016 beauty favourites



Hey Lovelies,

I haven't done a beauty favourites in a while because I've been wearing minimal make up and most of the products I do use are old favourites. With that being said I did discover a few things I've been loving in the past couple of months that I want to share with you.

Hi Lovelies!

Again I have to apologise for not posting on a regular basis due to my hectic work schedule. 

So I'm back home in Melbourne and it's the start of Summer. Since I've been living in Ho Chi Minh City and now home, I pretty much have an endless summer for the past year. Therefore, I've decided to make a post about the essentials things I've found useful for the hot weather.

Klairs skincare Haul


Lately I've been on the hunt for a good skincare range that can accommodate my sensitive and acne prone skin. Since living in Vietnam, I've been exposed to numerous asian brands especially Korean ones. It was quite overwhelming and took me a while to make a decision but I finally narrowed it down after reading reviews after reviews. In the end, I've decided to try out the korean brand Klairs
