Bicelle HYDRA B5 Hydra GEL Serum Review

Bicelle HK$750 (£61.76 /$96.77) for 60ml


Bicelle products are raved highly by Hong Kong bloggers so I decided to give the HYDRA B5 Gel serum a try while I was there~

Product Description:

The serum's technology is quite intriguing and unique; "Tri-Hydra Triangle Medical System" targets 3 skin major concerns to keep skin moist and ensures it lasts.

  1. Hydra - (rehydration) it contains sodium hyaluronate (25% hyaluronic acid) and vitamin B5, which holds up to 1000x it's weight in water allowing it to combine with water and penetrate the skin to keep it hydrated. 
  2. Antioxidant - green tea extracts and centella to neutralize free radicals and antioxidant repair to repair skin tissues, enhancing the skin's natural moisture barrier to increase the skin's water holding capacity.
  3. Regeneration - peptides to promote cell growth and regeneration, this helps to delay skin ageing, enhance absorption and helps skin to lock in moisture for smooth skin.

Product:

The gel comes in a glass bottle with a manual pump; hygienic and easy to control the desired amount. The texture is slightly thicker than water and has no scent. It absorbs rapidly like your skin is drinking up the moisture.

Usage and Results:

To use the product your face must be damp or you can mix 3 - 4 drops with a little water. I wasn't aware of this the first time I used it and found the results to be not so good (basically sh***tttt). I apply it on a damp face and found it helped to absorb in moisture much better. After using this for a while, my skin is definitely more hydrated and smooth. It took some time before results started to kicked in.

Overall:

I personally think the product is overhyped and not to mention hella overpriced. It does provide my skin more moisture and makes it slightly smoother. Not a bad product but doesn't give impressive results either. Light, gentle and does not cause any irritaion, great for people with sensitive skin. I can't comment on it delaying skin aging or reducing fine lines as I don't have any. The serum is definitely overpriced, i've seen some places sell it for HK$1,300 (£107.67 / $167.74)! The price is a downside to some and would prevent people from purchasing it. Personally, I don't mind spending extra on skincare however my bottle smashed! Dx Had to quickly transfer it to another bottle. Rippp money and product leaked. Be careful with the product!

Rating: 6/10

Have you guys tried any Bicelle products? ^^

Perverted Mickey Tumblr Outfit

 
 
 

Omg guys, you don't understand how excited I am to finally share this outfit with you! Waahhhhhh i'm squealing with excitement because I utterly adore this outfit~ I have few more outfits on the way too ^.^ I don't care if the weather is getting colder, my needs to be expressive comes first. :')

The highlight of this outfit is definitely the top or as my friend Tina likes to call "Perverted Mickey" because of the Mickey mouse hand placements on the boobs. The crop of the Mickey top is quite short, so I wore a harness under to distract people from the skin exposure and to give the illusion that the top is longer. The harness goes hand in hand with the Mickey top, making the overall outfit fierce and badass - my perfect style! To cover up more skin, I layered a oversized denim blouse on top, the denim adds a bit of colour and compliments my new blue hair. Lastly high waisted shorts! I love this outfit so much, I would wear this everyday until I get sick of it *if I could huehue :')*

Outfit details:

Top: Newdress (sponsored*)
Blouse: Quiz
Shorts: Mong Kok

Do you dress for the weather or dress however you like, regardless of temperature? xD

KPop Inspired Hair: G Dragon Crayon Blue and Pink Ombre Hair

It's that time again where I get my roots touched up~ I guess you could say I was ridiculously spontaneous this time because damnnn my hair looks like its been attacked by Crayola. Which reminded me of G Dragon's Crayon era hair~ Look at the similarity, it's like GD's Crayon Hair (but) Female Version yer yer yer~



I've received a mix response so far, some think my hair is "cool and unique", while others were like "wtf have you done to your hair." xDD I was like wtf myself too when I saw the finished results, so I decided to take the blue further down so that the blue will be more noticeable and the blending will be more eye pleasing. Ta-da~ the final results~ ^.^


Loving this a lot more and I think it looks pretty badass~! Now that my hair is technically half blue and half pink, my friends kept on saying it looks like "cotton candy" .___. Maybeee, personally I think it looks like blue and pink fizzy cola bottles. :') New inspiration ayeee~


Still got the GD vibes doe~ 8D


What do you think of my new hair? :') A bit too crazy or do you like it? ^.^

Monochrome Reverse / Hong Kong Street Style


The only decent photo we had because either one of us kept on pulling derp faces. Which i'm pretty sure you won't want to see~ :') Do you ever have one of those moments, where your outfit matches with your friend's? This was it! (but in reverse order) If only I wore my slip ons that night too. ;___; *just imagine that I am* >//<



A minimal causal outfit - typically what I reach for on lazy days or when i'm in a rush, nothing special. Monochrome to keep things simple and clean. Plus who needs colour when your hair is the colour statement. xD I love how the lace detailing on the shorts are subtle, adds a nice low key touch. I paired this outfit with a white floral bag form Ted Baker. This bag is the perfect size for running errands, it has enough room to me to carry my essentials (purse, phone, some makeup, tissue, notebook and earphones). 


Since it is getting slightly cooler in the UK now, to transition and make the outfit more suitable for Autumn I layered on a black jacket. Now it looks like a jogging outfit. :') It would look so much nicer with a kimono but unfortunately I don't own one, as I am yet to find the perfect one. Anyone got some kimono recommendations? ^^

Outfit details:

Cat ears: Ani-con
Top: Mong Kok
Shorts: Boohoo
Shoes: Topshop
Bag: Ted Baker

Paul's Outfit:

Shirt: Burton London
Jeans: ASOS
Shoes: ASOS

Had a matching moment? Share it with me! ^__^
Have a nice day~ :')
