SANA Hadanomy Collagen Cream Review

I've found more HGs in Japanese skincare than I have with Korean skincare so I thought I'd try my luck with the SANA Hadanomy Collagen Cream. This cream has a lot of interesting ingredients such as hyaluronic acid (one of my favourite ingredients of all time) and honey. Yes, we've all heard that collagen particles are too big to be absorbed into skin but it makes an excellent moisturising ingredient.

A collagen jelly cream your skin drinks up! Suitable for dry skin.

Moisture retention formula. Micro collagen 1000mg, Hyaluronic acid Na, Honey, Acerola extract.

Nature Republic By Flower Lip Balm EXO Suho Honey Lemon Review

I love love love lip products. And EXO. I had a hard time deciding whether or not to purchase this in my second last day of Hong Kong in February 2015. I was with my twinnie Gabriel who was visiting Hong Kong from Singapore during Chinese New Year. Most of the shops were closed but Nature Republic was opened and the EXO standees in front of the store kept on enticing me to come in and buy stuff so I went in and bought stuff:/

This By Flower Lip Balm is a clear lip balm that changes to a nature pink colour on contact with heat. It gives your lips a naturally pinkish red flush. Other than that, the main selling point is that there is a picture of an EXO member and their autograph when you open the lid! Etude House did something similar with SHINee's autograph a few years ago, but their lip balm was opaque which means you have to finish the entire product before you can reveal the autograph.

My favourite member is Baekhyun, but I also have extreme soft spots for D.O, Kai, Chen, and ex-member Luhan. I'm starting to have a bit of a soft spot for Sehun as well.

Quick Review: Mizon Peptide Ampoule Cream Review

I don't think I have ever tried any skincare with peptide ingredients before (maybe I have in a sheet mask?) and I picked this Mizon Peptide Ampoule cream up out of curiosity. Afterall, I am at the age where I need to start using anti-aging skincare... Thank you Rose Rose Shop for having free shipping on Mizon items:)

This is the wrinkle improving functional ampoule cream where highly enriched peptide ingredients grant firm elasticity to the skin with lowered elasticity, manages living wrinkles densely and keep baby face skin.

1,000mg of extract contained

Innisfree Apple Juicy Lip & Eye Remover Review

The Apple Juicy line is one of Innisfree's most popular makeup removal lines. I first tried a sample back in 2014 and I was impressed by it. As you can see, this is a lip and eye makeup remover, not lip and eye remover. That would be awkward, but I've seen lots of Korean and Japanese makeup removers. 

Enriched with apple extract, this line offers softness and healthy radiance to your skin like a freshly washed apple. This lip & eye remover rapidly and effectively removes long wearing point makeup.

I made a maid dress

I made this maid dress from a t-shirt tutorial by Yumi King in June 2015. The apron was the most difficult part of the sewing process. I used a yellow chalk to draw on the measurements and you can still see it showing through the white fabric :( The circular shape of the apron is also not every even haha.

The criss-cross design at the back of the apron does not sit well and folds over a lot. I think the strap will need to be doubled up. Overall, this was really fun to make! I still have a pink dress that I also started sewing in June 2015. I will pick up the motivation to finish it soon and to start some other sewing project.

Lydia gave me cat ears! I think they will look super cute with this dress. I still need to make a ruffle headdress thing for this dress. Once again, this dress will look cute with rocking horse shoes and knee high socks. Maybe also a choker necklace and those lace wristlets.

A few weeks ago, Rose Rose Shop announced that they were releasing a new skincare line called Neulii. You can get free samples if you message them on Facebook, or through your orders with them. They are giving out ten samples (five of each type of serum) per request. I think that's a great way to promote your new line. Everyone loves free samples.

2. AHA VITA Brightening Serum
3. Tea Tree BHA Blemish Control Serum
4. Snail Bee Anti-Wrinkle Serum

I got my package yesterday!

Canmake Cream Cheek in CL01 Clear Heart Review

I haven't reviewed makeup items for quite a while. I love makeup, but it takes time to use up and fall in love with an item. I decided a long, long time ago I wanted to purchase this Cream Cheek from Canmake. I read a lot of good things about it in Popteen and I saw a lot of my favourite models use these cream blushes (not necessarily in this colour though). I really wanted to try something from the Clear line.

This type of colour is supposed to make you look healthy. It looks scary in the pan, but it really is a subtle, versatile colour to use. After being able to pull off this colour, I feel I could tackle using NARS Exhibit A.
