Spicy Korean Fire Noodle Challenge (불닭볶음면)



Amazon £9.74 for 5 packs (Gift* Thank you Alex~ ^^)
If you're in America, they're available at Kmart too. 

I finally did the Fire Noodle Challenge yesterday - you can watch my take on the challenge near the end of this post or by clicking here. ^^ 

Koreans are known for their love for spicy food. These noodles have taken a craze burning tongues in Korea and overseas, from Singapore to England. Samyang's Buldak Bokkeum Myeon, said to be Korea's rank 3rd spiciest instant noodles! Challenged by friend Alex, I gathered my courage to take on this challenge.

Mini cooking tutorial. xDD To prepare the noodles, first cook or boil the noodles until soft. Then drain the water and left the noodle dry. The noodles are slighter thicker than regular ones.


Add the hot sauce and mix it until its saturated throughout the noodles. Top it off with the seasonings to finish.


LOOK HOW FRIERY RED THE NOODLES ARE! Waaaa~


My reaction to the fire noodles:


At first I was expecting the noodles to be much more spicy, I was doubting this until 3 seconds later the burns kicks in. The more you ate, the more the burning accelerated. I felt like I could spit fire, it was that hot! I usually take my spices well too, this is a next level! Its that hot, it stingles and plumps your lips. No need to spend your money on lip plumper or do the Kylie Jenner Challenge when you could just eat these badboys. ^.< Some of friends ended up drinking a gallon of drink, while some others adore this with Mozzarella cheese and egg on top. I might give that a try. :')

I ate these noodles on a empty stomach and OH BOY that was not a wise decision, my stomach was feeling weird the whole day and next after. I shall also mention it messes up your barrel lolol, it smells. >< Two of my friends said their bum was burning too hahaha, I will stop here before I get into too much info.

Have you taken on this challenge yet? How was it? ^.^
If not, IM NOMINATING YOU RIGHT NOW! ^.<

00 F*CKS GIVEN | FIVEPOUNDTEE GRAPHIC T SHIRT



Slogan tees, bargains and expression? Yes please! 

I was contacted by Five Pound Tee for a Lookbook collaboration (another outfit on the way~ ^.<). Five Pound Tee is a e-tailer based in London, UK. The tees are exactly what the brand states; t-shirts for £5, such a killer! The quality of the shirts are pretty good for the price, I personally think it's just as good as some of my pricey ones. I adore their motto "Live to express, not to impress" as I believe that is what style is about, a form of expression.

The shirt I picked out 00 F*CKS GIVEN does that really well, a simple design yet conveys the message well. I threw on a khaki green army coat to add some colour to the overall outfit and to keep warm from the chills~ When there is more warmth, this shirt would look awesome paired with a houndstooth A line skirt.

andddd if you haven't noticed or don't follow me on Instagram, I now have lilac pink ombre hair~ ^^ The lilac has faded quite a bit, down side of pastels colours! >.< 

How would you rock a slogan tee? Tell me in the comments below~ ^__^

Have a good day. <3

NEW Urban Decay Palette! Naked Smoky



OMG OMG OMG - new Naked Palette for summer 2015. The palette is absolutely perfect! It will be available on Urban Decay's website July 8th. The price has not been stated, but it's probably the same as the other Naked Palettes. 

The smoky effect packaging is so lush and sleek! Full case sized mirror, magnetic closer, smooth surface - definitely my favourite and is best packaging out of all the Naked Palettes. I did not jump on the train with the previous palettes due to me being picky. I liked the colours of Naked 1, but the cardboard packaging was off putting. Naked 2 and 3 - wasn't digging the colour selection. Naked Smoky however is perfect!

A wonderful mixture of tones. The shades are stunning; the greys, plum and warm chocolate brown is alluring me. The shadows have a great range of textures - shimmer, satin and mattes. I like how Urban Decade organised the shadows by the texture. I will be purchasing this palette once it releases. ^.^ 

What do you think of the Naked Smoky? Tell me in the comments below~

Have a good day~ ^_^

LEADERS INSOLUTION Mela-Tox Skin Clinic Mask Review




Omg I wrote this review 3 times and blogger didn't save it! *cries* I've been off the beauty grind for the past month - need to get my review game back on! I purchased some Leaders Insolution masks when I was in Hong Kong as I remember reading Xiaxue's post on it and they seemed really good! Cannot wait to go back in a few weeks! ^.^

Leaders Insolution is a Korean brand created and tested by a group of dermatologists. There are 17 variations in the range. Mela-Tox is their top seller - it's main function is whitening. Description "helps you get back that radiant, youthful glow. It brightens dull complexions by suppressing melanin production which causes pigmentation problems. The mask also moisturises and diminishes blemishes."

How to use:

  • Apply the mask after cleansing and toning your face
  • Leave it on for 15 - 20 minutes
  • Massage or dab the remaining essence for your skin to adsorb it

I like that the packaging clearly states the function/effect of the mask, what corners it helps with and the skin type it is suited for - makes it easy for user to identify which mask would benefit their skin the most. The pill detailing is cute too.

The mask was not lined with plastic - I'm starting to notice a lot of Korean sheet masks don't. The sheet is made from silk cellulose and the size of the mask was perfect for my face - fitted very well and did not slide. This is key factor as it enables maximum absorption without essence dripping. The scent of the mask was very subtle and does not linger. The essence was thicker than regular mask - which hydrated and plumped my skin very well. When you take off the mask it leaves a gel film behind, I'm not sure if it supposed to be an protective barrier? It's quite sticky and takes a few minutes to dry and absorb in.

After 20 minutes - my skin was significantly brightened, it looked clear and radiant like kpop celebrities waaa~ *^* Temporally rid my blemishes too, need to constantly use it every week to maintain the results and "suppress melanin production". The results were very impressive! I recommend this for people with dry or normal skin more. I have oily skin and I think the essence may a bit a little too rich for me, since I had a few little pimples the following days after.

Rating: 7/10

Pros:

  • Does not contain mineral oil, silicon, artificial pigment or paraben (preservative)
  • Brightened and cleared my skin tone
  • Mask is perfect size, fits very well to your face
  • Rich essence that hydrates well
  • Reduced blemishes 

Cons:

  • Has a sticky finish
  • Essence may be too rich for people with oily skin
  • Only available in Asia (I think) and online

Have you tried any Leader Insolution products? ^.^
