Annie's Way Arbutin+Hyaluronic Acid Brightening Jelly Mask

Lately I've been getting really skin concisous, and been looking at changing everything especially my face mask. I know the face mask that we get here in the west is totally different to the ones we get back in Asia. 

After some inter web investigation ,this jelly face mask jumped out at me due to some rave reviews from all over.  After I read these, I immidetiely ordered it.Whitening, moisturizing, minimizes fine lines, leaves skin radiantly bright. Could it be true ? 

What it says it does: Whitening, moisturizing, minimizes fine lines, leaves skin radiantly bright.

Contains : Arbutin Extract / Hyaluronic Acid / Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate / Vitamin EC / Dipotassium Glycyrrhizinate

You'd think it is quite a big pot, and that it would last you a long time, but NO not really, you'll need to apply about a tenth of the pot each time.

How to use the jelly mask

1. Wash your face and pat it dry. 

2. Apply Jelly Mask approximately thickness 0.3~0.5 cm evenly by using a spatula.

3. Leave it for 15-20 minutes, remove the jelly mask by scraping gently. 

4. Wipe off with tissue paper after you scrape it all out.

5. Repeat the same action few times, and rinse with water. Apply moisturizer 

I've been really enjoying using this jelly mask. It really gives nice radiant glow to my face. After rinsing my face off it leaves my skin soft and smooth and very moistuised. I don't think it has whitened my face in any way but it did gave a diamond like glow. Maybe I'd have to use it often to see the whitening results.

Overall, it would use it again and recommend it to others.

Be careful when buying online as always there are lot of fake ones going around. Make sure you get it from a reputable seller. 

Kielh's haul and review

Bought few Kielh's products about few weeks ago and I've been loving using them. 

SUPERBLY SMOOTHING ARGAN SHAMPOO AND CONDITIONER 

for frizzy and unruly hair. Firstly of all, I'd like to say that my hair is straight, long and gets bit oily on the top and has dry ends also due to all the bleaching and colouring. Lately,  it's been feeling really horrible frizzy, dry, unruly and limp. 

What attracted me to this shampoo and conditioner was that,it is paraben, sulphate and silicone free and the argan oil in it. 

After using this products, my hair now feels alive, sleek, soft and I even got my shine back to hair. It gave me a calming effect to my head and hair (weird but it really did) and I also like the smell of the shampoo. 

The key ingredients in both the shampoo and conditioner are Argan oil, coconut oil and sesame oil.

Would I buy the shampoo and conditioner again? 

Yes!  I would also like to try their other shampoos and conditioner and try their other hair care range too. 

Only down side to it, is that it is bit on the expensive side £16 for shampoo £19 for conditioner.

What Kielh's says about their shampoo? 

• Formulated with fairly-traded Argan Oil.
• Gently cleanses and intensively smoothes.
• Long-lasting shine.

What they say about the conditioner? 

• Formulated with Argan Oil.
• Moisturizes, detangles, and provides intensive smoothing.
• Long-lasting shine with a frizz-free finish.

RITUALS Shower Gel in T'AI CHI ( White Lotus and green tea)

After receiving the Rituals shower gel Yogi Flow, in December's Glossy Box I really hadn't used the shower gel till a couple of months ago. I just liked it so much that I had to go and get another one. They come in 7  different aromas within the range but I have decided to go for the T'ai Chi (White Lotus and Green Tea). I know (Green Tea)!!!  but it's actually very aromatic.


The great thing about these shower gels is I find that the smell lingers on your skin for a longer period of time then  I would  expect from my shower gel. One thing I find about this range of products is that it can be quite pricey, at  £6.50  a bottle, but if you do hunt online you can find it for about £5.  I think that we should treat ourselves once in while .....YES...... while these shower gels would also make perfect gifts.


What it says: 

• Unique shower foam technology based on organic ingredients White Lotus and Green Tea
• Due to its self-cleaning properties, the White Lotus is a symbol for purity and spiritual growth, while the powerful antioxidant Green Tea has a strong calming effect

Apply a small amount of foam to the palm of your hand. As soon as the gel comes into contact with water, it changes into a rich nourishing foam for cleaning the whole body.

MUA's Love Heart Nail Varnish

As I told you my previous post about MUA and Love Heart collaboration. They also have got Love Heart nail varnish, which comes in 6 pastel and bright colours, just perfect for your spring/summer.

These nail varnishes are all limited edition range, So hurry down to Superdrug or shop online if you like the colours and prices are very reasonable at only £2.

I got 1 in pastel and another one in a bright colour. I really liked the I <3 U shade as it is pink nude  colour and you know that you can get away with it by wearing at work or at school and will go with most things you can wear. The main down side to these nail varnishes is I had to apply 3 coats as on the second coat it was still looking a bit streaky. I also did not like the nail brush as it seem to have just one of the brush hair sticking out, which is very annoying. But I guess you can't really complain much when I have seen others with much more damaged to them so I must be one of the lucky few..

LOVE U 24/7 is a very bright lilac colour and definitely eye catching, had to apply only 2 coats which were not very streaky. The nail brush was just fine. I think I might go back and purchase U & I as it looks lovely on. The colourlemon yellow is just so screaming summer time to me.

MUA's Love Hearts Lip Balms

 There are few things that I will never get tired of buying and always look forward to buying more is lip blams, lip tints and lipsticks hehehe..What better more then the MUA's Love Heart Lip Balm collections to add to my little collection. 

(Sorry Sweet Kiss were all sold out)

These Love Heart lip balm comes in 5 colours and they all are lovely colours. They are very moisturising and give you a nice hint of colour and the packaging is just so eye catching and just too cute ^_^!

The price is just £2 and can be found in most Superdrug store and online.

I bought Hot Lips and Great Lips and I have been using Hot Lips regularly and I love it. Love the Great Lips colour in Nude.


These lip balms reminds me of MAC lip tinted conditioner SPF15 which retails for £11, So this this a really good dupe and make sure that you check it out. Of course, MUA lip balms do not contain SPF like MAC.
