LOOKBOOK - Colour Block Plunge Bikini | Zaful Swimwear Review

How stunning is the scenery in these pics? These were taken in Malta; such a breathtaking country! I don't really like showing my belly in public (food baby on the way), so a one piece/monokini is perfect for me when visiting beaches. This Zaful swimsuit is minimalistic yet stunning. Even though it covers my belly, the plunge cut still gives off some sexy vibes and the high leg cut not only shows off some cheeky bottom, it also accentuates your legs to make you look taller. Love it!

The quality of the swimsuit is good, thick and dries quickly. I can't comment on whether its true to size or not since I got the swimsuit in XL due to the other sizes being out of stock (all sizes have been restocked now ^^). I am a UK size 8/10 or S/M so the swimsuit was slightly loose on me, but I think it was more of a size L than XL. It is was a true XL, it would have been too loose on me and I wouldn't have been able to get away with it. So keep in mind the swimsuit might be a little smaller than the size mentioned. I also wish it had padding to cover up any cold nipple action from showing. Other than that, I utterly adore the cut and style of the swimsuit. I think it would suit everyone. :)

Banila Co Clean It Zero Sorbet Cleansing Balm - Resveratrol Review | KBEAUTY

Glow Mo UK £22

If I was only allowed to bring one skincare item to a desert island, it would be a good cleansing balm or cleansing oil. It does everything you need - it cleanses away heavy makeup and hydrates your skin for that dewy glow. Perfect for my low maintenance lovelies. Here today I have a Korean Beauty cult favourite, it's one of the best selling cleansers. I took it with me when I was travelling Malta is to test this baby out.

There is 4 variation of the cleansing balm, each is tailored for a different skin type. (The 4th pink one is missing from the picture above) I went for the green one - Resveratrol because I have combination skin that can sometimes get super oily. It's formulated with natural oils, fruit extracts and herbal extract for gentle cleansing.

It comes with 100ml of product in a hugeee ass tub, the packaging is not travel-friendly. I highly recommend you to transfer some into a small container, it was so troublesome getting this past airport security, they thought it went over the 100ml liquid limit because of the tub's size.

Comes with a spatula so that you can easily cut into the balm and scoop out some product. The balm actually has a light green tint (which you can't really see in the picture thanks to terrible hotel lighting) and it smells a little like a melon.

It has a sherbert-like texture that melts into an oil when you massage it into your face. The oil becomes milky when you add water to it to rinse it off. I love massaging my face with this, it feels soooo nice! A little goes a long way, so a tub will last you for ages. I also use this as my eye and lip makeup remover because I'm too lazy to use 2 separate products just to remove my makeup. It does a good job, it even melts away my waterproof eyeliner and mascara. Be careful not to get it inside your eyes though, it doesn't sting but it makes your vision blurry.

Pros

Gentle to the skin
Does an amazing job melting all traces of makeup
Easy to rinse off and doesn't leave any oily residue
Great for massaging your face with
Leaves face feeling super clean and moisturised after
Didn't break me out

Cons

Packaging is bulky, would be great if they did a smaller travel size

Overall it's a really good cleansing balm and I can see why everyone loves it! My lazy ass loves this because I can carry fewer products with me. My skin feels super clean and really supple every time I use it. I really appreciate it doesn't leave any greasy residue behind, some cleansing oils do and it breaks me out!

Have you tried anything from Banila's Clean It Zero series?
