How cute is this packaging??? I purchased this mainly for the adorable piggie~ and because it reminded me of the well hyped Nature Republic Aloe Vera Gel. Is collagen gel as good as aloe vera? I shall review this for you right now. ^.<
Collagen soothing gel is suppose to improve the elasticity of skin and moisturise dry skin with rich moisture to provide soft skin whilst giving a fresh sensation. It's suitable for all skin types and for face and body care usage. There is 300ml of product, which is bargain for it's price and will last you for ages!
Please excuse the makeup swatches on my hand~ >.< The gel is colourless and has a sweet citrus scent. The texture and consistency is very much alike aloe vera gel. The gel absorbs very quickly into the skin, does not leave any residue and finishes to a tight matte touch, which I am not really fond of. The finish makes my face feel not moisturised at all, as for body it's okay. I like that it's multifunctional, you can apply a thick layer on your face and leave it on for 15 minutes for a cooling and soothing mask. Using it has a normal moisturiser I personally think it does not do the job well, where as using it as a mask is quite nice and has more obvious results - smoother skin. Overall I think it's average product and if you're looking for a good moisturiser this is not it. Unfortunately >.< You're better off purchasing normal aloe vera gel.

Have you tried any multipurpose beauty gels? ^^ If so, which one and what's your experience with it? :')
The last time I did art was for college; computer science is an intense degree so the amount of free time I have is tight af. This Easter I did however manage to get in touch with my artsy side again, which you may have seen on my Instagram~ ^.< If not then here is my most recent one. I definitely can see that my painting skills have degraded asdfghjkl Dx So I am temped to do #100daysdoodlechallenge to get my skills up to scratch again! >.<
Here is the process video of the painting if you want to check it out :')
Have you pick up an old hobby again? ^^
Think I am becoming a LUSH addict, so here we go with another LUSH product review~ I think this may be marketed at males (most likely unisex) but who cares, it's a shower gel and I want some of that invigorating minty fresh feeling!
Product Description from the LUSH website
"A shower gel to leave you feeling minty fresh and alert. Dirty Springwash leaves skin feeling invigorated - perfect after a workout at the gym. Spearmint and menthol create a tingling effect on the skin, and stimulates the mind. Thyme adds a herby note to the fresh scent."
I usually stick to floral and fruity scents but the name Springwash caught me, so it's time to switch it up~ The gel has a light and gentle refreshing minty scent, same as unwrapping a spearmint chewing gum. I love that the scent is not overpower like other minty products. The lovely scent lingers on after you've showered, refreshing the atmosphere around you too.
The consistency is quite runny as you can see BUT this stuff is amazing! It truly feels look you're diving into a cool spring pool in summer. It's refreshing and alerting, great for those sluggish mornings to start the day off. The spearmints gives you a light cool sensation in a hot shower, perfect after a sticky intense workout. My skin feels clean to the touch and my mind is stimulated. I definitely recommend this as it's such a wonderful sensual experience.

Quick outfit post~ I'm very very picky when it comes to sports bras but I absolutely adore this one from NewChic! It's currently my favourite as the design is simple yet sexy and the quality is highly well made. The bra is very supportive when exercising even during extreme workouts due it being shockproof. It's available in 8 different colour~ I choose the grey one as the front zipper contrasts with the bra giving it that edgy look.

I can't seem to find a review for this mask and i'm like WHYYYYY? THIS STUFF IS SO GOOD!!! Sorry for the bad lighting, it's current 2am in the UK and I really wanted to share this beauty! Sleeping masks are essential to me because they hydrate my skin for hours and simply because i'm too lazy to wash off normal facial masks.
This overnight sleeping mask contain's white tea extra to whiten and hydrate the skin. It also soothes the skin by protecting it from UV rays and pollution. Free of artificial colouring and synthetic preservatives.
To use this mask, you simply apply it after your skincare before going to bed and then rinse it off the next morning. It's recommended to use it 1 to 2 times a week, but I use it almost everynight because I like it that much! xD

It has a nice gel consistency thats lightweight and not greasy. The mask absorbs quickly into the skin and has a lovely cooling sensation when you apply it. I like this a lot more compared to Laneige's Water Sleeping mask, I notice much more obvious results and benefits from using this. Plus you get more product and it's cheaper. My face is pumped with hydration and my complexion is beautifully brightened, giving it that Korean translation skin appearance. I LOVE IT! I definitely recommend this for those that need a extra kick of moisture~ ^^

What type of mask is essential to you? ^^
Are you ready for spring? ^__^ I'm bringing my athletic vibes into the spring game to motivate me to exercise more whilst looking stylish. Anyone that knows me in real life, acknowledges that i'm literally one of the un-fittest people out there but I swear I have been exercising more recently! Loving this printed crop top from NewChic! It's very fashionista~ and has that classic jersey sport print, so it won't go out of style. I paired it with some white high waisted shorts, as you can never go wrong with monochrome plus the high waist cut helps to cover up some skin.

The look is natural and empathises on baby like skin with a strong usage of blush to look drunk/hungover~ The skin should be flawless so cover up any blemishes and dark circles if you have them.
As for blush it's applied in the centre of the face, right under your eyes in a inverted triangle shape. Be careful to not apply too much otherwise you will actually look sick and hungover. xD
Please give a Igari makeup a try! I didn't expect to love it as much until I got curious and gave it go~ ^^
Finally finished the second term of uni and back in Birmingham, UK I am so ofc I had to do some shopping. ^.< I picked up this liquid green concealer from KIKO, as I find cream concealers crease and wear off easily. Can't have my makeup wearing off, otherwise i'm going to look like a tomato and that's a no no! Dx
There are 7 shades available. The tube comes with 3.8ml of product, which is not a lot. I use a hella lot of concealer so this will not last long for me at all. But if you like trying out concealers or don't usually finish them then this would be good for you.
It has a light to medium coverage, I do wish there was more coverage. The concealer blends easily but is not buildable as it will get cakey. It does cancel out redness decently, great for covering redness and spots whilst giving a brightened matte finish. An average concealer, I don't hate or love it. If you want concealer that brightens and offers a radiant finish then this is for you, if you want high coverage then no.

LUSH | £8.50 |
I've always been a big fan of LUSH bath bombs and decided to finally try out their skincare products. This is now one of my holy grail products for keeping my acne under control! Although I don't suffer from severe acne any more, it's just nice to prevent and control spots during that time of the month~
Product Description (from official Lush website):
"Keep skin clear and refreshed. Tea tree is antibacterial, antifungal and antimicrobial, so can help keep away the bacteria that can cause spots. Grapefruit is rich in vitamins and is also lightly astringent on the skin, whilst juniperberry is antiseptic and helps keep skin clean and clear. Use any time of day to keep skin refreshed, or to remove traces of makeup or cleanser."
To use this product you can simply spray it directly over your face or onto a cotton pad. I personally like to spray it onto my face as I think it feels more refreshing. If you want it to hydrate your skin more or for the toner to have a stronger effect then use it on a cotton pad. ^^
I use this morning and night, right after cleansing. It makes me feel awake and not like a lifeless potato. My skin feels clean, it's not drying and helps to heal+prevent spots. It also helps to control oils and calm redness, which is bonus! This is great for people with sensitive skin as well, since its so gentle and the scent of the tea tree is not overpowering at all. This has done wonders for my skin. Amazing product! I definitely recommend this for thoese with oily acne prone skin.

Have you discovered a new holy grail recently? ^^
Apologies for another late post but i've been extremely busy with exams and deadlines going on! Here is one of the outfits featured in my first lookbook video! This is such a simple yet cute outfit for valentines (wayyyyy past v-day but oh wells~ xD) and first dates, however I do wear this outfit casually too because why not? Ain't nobody gon stop me from looking cute. It's simple yet chic; it's all about the little details that spice up the outfit. Loving this red sweater from Choies, its cropped and has badass cut out detail going down the sleeves. The whole outfit has different textures that complement each other nicely, the sweater is your classic cotton, the skirt is leather and lastly the shoes are velvet/suede. This just goes to show you don't necessary need super fashionable clothing items for an outfit to lookstylish, just experiment and play up the textures. ^^
Outfit Details:
Top: Choies
Skirt: MissGuided
Shoes: Select
Good luck those also sweating their bum off for uni too! Wahhhhh add oil ^__^
Michelle is out for now~ Peace *asian peace sign lol*
It has been a while again! But i'm back it sharing my wishlist items, this time the items are from a new site I discovered - NewChic.com ^^ I've got a 20% off coupon code for you guys at the end of this post too! ^.< Lets go~
1) V Neck Jumpsuit - Black
Jumpsuits are something i've always wanted but have yet to find the perfect one. I quite like this one as it's classy and elegant. It reminds me of the Kardashian's style. ^^ *This is completely irrelevant but omg i've been binge watching Keep Up With The Kardashians and I love it! I don't understand why they get so much hate? Dx2) Loose Split Lapel Cardigan - Grey
I've been digging long cardigans and vest trench coats but I don't think it would suit me. >.< One day i'll pluck up the courage and try pull it off :')
3) Athletic Printed Crop Sweater
This sweater screams my name all over! My wardrobe is filled with printed sweaters, I literally live off them! xD Another one wouldn't hurt :')4) Back Wings Printed Tank Top - Pink
Simple at the front, fallen angel from the back~ I absolutely adore this mauvey pink colour! It's also available in white but the mauvey pink is something different and cuter~5) Pu Martin Boots Platform Shoes
LOVE LOVE LOVE THESE! You guys know how obsessed I am with chunky boots, it wouldn't be my clothing wishlist if it didn't include at least one chunky or platform shoes. I am digging the contrast soles! These boots are available in classic black, white and a mustard colour. I'm so indecisive on which one to get, since I love them all~ *^* But I figured I should exclude white since I'm unlikely to wear it. xD
Anddd before I end this wishlist, I dooooo have a little something for guys! ^__^ As I said at the start of the post, I have a coupon code "20off1574" which let's you receive 20% off everything during checkout when you purchase from NewChic.com!

I've been dying to share this new treasure of mine from the first time I used it but I didn't get around to it until now. But OMG, this is literally the best hair treatment/mask i've used in my 19 years of breathing. (hahahah i'm old and in my final year as a teen now cos it was my birthday the other day~)
Anyway getting on with the review:
Product Description:
"Essential Revitalising Balm is the perfect Kérastase masque for total hair revitalisation. Boasting of an opulent texture that luxuriously conditions the hair, the hair will be left looking revitalised with shine, softness and bounce"
It comes with 200ml of treatment for £32; I know it's pricey but the results are amazing! I love the black and gold packaging, it's sturdy and feels luxurious. Rather than a typical fruity scent, it has a scent similar to male cologne. It's quite hard to describe, but if you've try Bleach London's Reincarnation Mask it's similar to that. ^^
The consistency of the mask as you can see is very thick, but it melts and distributes over your hair nicely. It's not heavy and does not weigh down my hair, in fact it makes it more airy & bouncy. I like to leave it in my hair for 10 minutes after shampooing. I could see the revitalizing results immediately after my first use, my hair keeps getting better the more I use it~ It makes my hair shiny, feels healthier, softer and just full of life again. Absolutely adore this! I definitely recommend this to people with super dry and damaged hair like myself. This mask is a true blessing, I can't hype about it enough!

What's your current most beloved product? ^^
I see KPop celebrities wearing slogan crop top and shorts everywhereeeeee, I've been searching high & low and finally discovered this LOVE LOVE LOVE one from Dresslink. I do wish the slogan has a contrast white band like the Calvin Klein sport bras but still I love love love it anyway~ It comes as a two piece set; the top has a cute mesh panel across the top and the shorts has mesh panels along the sides. The UK weather is still cold so I styled it with a sheer chiffon blouse from Rone By Ichiju on top. I really like the athletic style as it makes me look fit even enough though i'm not and have the fitness level of a pizza.
I'm so happy that athletics fashion is becoming more trendy this year! Which fashion trend are you currently digging? ^^
