RINGS AND TINGS Haul and Jewellery Review


I've been hiatus/slow on blogging due to exams but now i'm freeeee~ Time to pull my socks back up! As you read from the title, today's post is for all my jewellery lovers~ I love accessories but i'm just too damn lazy to wear them, so this is one of those few occasions you'll see me wearing some. Rings and Tings were so generous sending me a few items! When they contacted me they just asked which were my favourite pieces, I didn't expect to receive them all wahhhh, thank you! <3

The first item I picked out was their Snowflake Ear Cuff (LINK)


I really like the intricate details; don't ask me why but it reminds me of some Game of Thrones shizzal. It's has one stud that goes through your standard lobe and a cuff at the top to hold the piece in place. Great for those with only one piercing or don't have their helix pierced. I personally found the ear cuff uncomfortable, as it's heavy. Another downside is that you can only wear it on your left ear. My left ear is hidden by my hair most of the time since my hair is parted to the left, so as much I like the ear cuff I am unlikely to wear it.

Second item, Dark Silver Tone Beads and Crystal Spike Necklace (LINK):


This one is my favourite of them all! It's edgy, it's glam, it's fierce - the perfect dark glamour piece. You could wear this casually or spice up a formal dress if you want something different. Imagine how nice this would be styled with a sweetheart dress or white dress/blouse/cami top. Ahhhh, I should of done that! *facepalming myself so hard rn* But yes, I love this and the lovely crystal detail.

Multi Spike Necklace (LINK):


I remember when everyone had a spike necklace, well now I finally have one too even though its 2000 and late. Everyone has moved onto chokers now xD. Classic piece; it's available in 3 colours - vintage gold, gold and silver. I have it in vintage gold, which looks almost like brass. Yay to colour variety~

Deer Filigree Bib Necklace (LINK):


Sorry this is like the only pose I do, someone teach me how to model? Anyway, last item! I saved the boldest to last. This statement necklace is bound to grab attention. Great for adding detail to a minimalistic outfit. It's available in gold and silver. Will not lie, I regret not choosing it in silver, gold jewellery doesn't really go well with my hair colours or skin tone. >< The chain is adjustable, so can wear it low or high like I did.

Overall I like the items they offer, the store has a massive range of jewellery so there's something for everyone, the quality is decent its just like jewellery you find in Topshop / River Island and their prices are affordable too. ^^ They also have clothing, shoes, bags etc (basically the tings).  If you want to check them out, you can head over to www.ringsandtings.com. Which piece is your favourite? Tell me in the comments down below! Until next time, too-dahs~

SNSD / TTS Tiffany Hwang Dear Santa Inspired Nail Tutorial



On Korean beauty shows, Tiffany is known for her nails. Even on her sub group's show - The TaeTiSeo, you can see that Tiffany gets a manicure done very frequently. Her nails are to die for, they're so pretty! I decided to recreate her Dear Santa nails since it seems easy enough to do at home. ^^

Here is a screenshot of her nails~ From my perspective I think it's the classic silver/clear rhinestone look.


To achieve this look, I simply applied a silver colour as a base and then a glitter coat to stick the rhinestones onto my nails. Lastly, used a top coat to seal off the hard work. Here is my take on it and the finsihed look~ I think it would have been prettier if I used smaller rhinestones (my friend said he got trypophobia from looking at them lolol, sorry!) and if I spent my time on it since I got lazy ehhh.


But if you want to see how I did them, i've filmed the process and linked the video tutorial at the top of this post! Or you can click here :')

Have a nice day~
* posts will be slow due to exam period wahhhh T___T

FANCL T-Zone Mask Review



If you ever visit Asia or have been in Asia, you will likely see FANCL products. FANCL is a really popular Japanese brand~ ^^ I stumbled on these limited edition masks when browsing on YesStyle and was intrigued to try it because it focuses on the T-zone to reduce sebum and tighten up pores. I couldn't find any reviews on them to see if they actually work, so ehhhh i'll be the guinea pig. xD You get 4 sheets for £22.97 which equals out to £5.74 per sheet. Rip my purse T__T

The mask contains Green Tea and Kiwi Extracts which help to clarify skin and tighten pores; hyaluronic acid to hydrate the skin and help balance it so that it has a matte finish. It also contains "intensive mattifiers" to help regulate excess sebum activity. As for the other "helps achieve refined skin" bs, I won't bother with that since that is very unlikely. It might over time but not with 4 sheets in my opinion. 


I can't read Japanese but illustration are very self explanatory on how to use the mask~ 


As you can see, the mask doesn't fit onto my face very well! I've tried adjusting it but maybe my face is too big for it... xD It has a zesty citrus scent, the scent actually reminds me of Mizon Trouble Care Acne Control Soothing Gel Cream except without the overwhelming alcohol. When you apply the mask, there's a cool and tingly sensation. Feels like its clarifying and detoxing my skin~ 

My skin does feel slightly more hydrated and has a semi matte finish after use, though the result weren't very obvious. It's not amazingly mattifying, since the mask is suppose to provide the cheeks moisture too which is hard to formulate a moisturising yet mattifying mask. Overall a decent mask. If you want a mask to mattify your skin, I would recommend you to use a normal sheet mask and then apply a mattyfying moisturiser/primer which has more noticeable results and is more cost effective.

Personally I think you're better off getting 2 boxes of My Beauty Diary masks (20 sheets) or other drug store sheet masks, which provides the same results (or better) and you would still have some leftover change. But if you have the money to splurge out then go ahead~

Don't Be A Cigarette | Cyberpunk Inspired Harness Outfit


Don't let people treat you like a cigarette, they only use you when they're bored and step on you when they're done. Be like a drug, let them die for you. 🚬


Back to typical Michelle with edgy outfits and harnesses to finish it off~ I've missed wearing outfits like this! At uni I mostly wear casual outfits and the occasional party dresses for nights out, swear uni makes me (maybe other people too) lazy af. xD

Graphic items are always a classic, everyone used to hype about graphic tees but I think it's now moving onto graphic jackets. I picked this one from the men's section in H&M and boy do I love it! It's so versatile to style and the oversize is perfect for tying an outfit together. I've been seeing a lot of graphic jackets on YesStyle too, so if you prefer a girly one, you can head over there. ^.< I styled the jacket with a white crop top and black shorts, you can never go wrong with simple classics. To spice things up and make it even edgier, I thought why not wear a body harness? (to which I got a few people questioning why tf are am I wearing one ;___; - because I can bishhh)

Outfit Details:

Glasses: Dresslink
Jacket: H&M
Top: New Town Plaza (Hong Kong)
Shorts: Boohoo

For those that also have exams, work hard and good luck! ^^
