Troiareuke Acsen Toc Toner I first heard about Troiareuke 4 more years ago. From what I understand they’re a dermatology clinic standard skincare brand who have their own Spa, but have since made their products available to the public. The first item I tried from their Acsen line is the ‘Toc Toner’. The toner’s name…

[AD-Gifted] ByWishtrend Review 🍁
Finally I got round to trying some ByWishtrend products – most of you will probably know that this brand is owned by ‘Wishtrend’, who are successful distributors of selected Kbeauty brands including Klairs. For now I’ll be concentrating on reviewing two ByWishtrend products: the ‘Green Tea & Enzyme Powder Wash’ & their ‘Acid-Duo Hibiscus 63…
[Gifted] Naturekind AHA Skincare Review 💧💦
Not too long ago I reviewed Naturekind’s Tea Tree infused skincare range. Today I return with reviews of their AHA line which consists of 3 products, whereas the tea tree line included 4 items. All the products featured here today can be purchased separately and don’t actually come as a set, so I hope you…

[AD-Gifted] – Naturekind Skincare Review 💚
Today’s skincare review is based on a Tea Tree infused skincare line by the Korean brand named ‘Naturekind’. I want to cover as many details about these products as possible, so I’m prewarning you that this may be a lengthy post compared to usual; therefore feel free to skip through sections as you please. Tea…
[Ad-Gifted] – Barulab Sheet Mask Review 💙💛
Barulab, focus on “replenishing” skin rather than just hydrating and cleansing skin: two ways to achieve this is via their two main/most popular products, which both happen to be sheet masks. This review will detail everything from the ingredients to my experience of both sheet masks, along with the mention of my personal preference between…
[Ad-Gifted] – Tosowoong Skincare Review
Today’s product review is all about skincare from the brand Tosowoong. This review will cover 3 products, one with of which is a tool for blackhead removal and pore size maintenance. Tosowoong SOS Repair Clinic Blue Marine Bubble Toner Most noticeable of all, this is a jumbo bottle (1000ml) of toner that has an attachable…
Abib Mild Acidic pH sheet mask review (Honey fit) 🍯
Quite often I walk around OliveYoung, one of the biggest drugstore chains in Korea, liking the variety of sheet masks available; but more often than not I don’t appreciate the prices of most items (if you know what I mean). This Abib Mild Acidic pH sheet mask, honey fit version, caught my eye due to…
d’Alba Skincare Review
The skincare brand d’Alba initially derived from a Italian sanctuary of the same name: specialising in the cultivation of white truffles, also known as ‘diamonds in the ground’. White truffles’ purpose is to infuse skincare with it’s anti-inflammatory and anti-aging properties; i.e. Enzymes known as ‘Superoxide Dismutase’. White truffle further holds Vitamins C & B12…
[Ad-Gifted]: The Skin House UV protection sun block review ☀️
When I look for a new sunscreen, or one that can better the one I currently use, the main point I consider most is if it has protection against UV rays in conjunction to a high SPF and preferably PA+++. The Skin House UV protection sun block covers all of these conditions with a lightweight…
[AD-Gifted]: Glowhill Glam Glow Make Up Facial Mask Review ✨
I tried two of the Glowhill Glam Make Up Facial Masks/글램 골드 메이크업 페이셜 마스크 a little while back. These masks are available in two versions: gold and pink. What makes these masks unique is that they functions as a pearlescent makeup base/’tone up’, giving skin a radiant glow perfect for achieving a glossy makeup…
[Ad-Gifted]: Glowhill Glow Masks (Review) ✨
For today’s skincare review, we have the Glowhill Xenoverse Black Glow Mask & Aurora White Hole Glow mask; which I’m sure is something you glitter & space theme lovers will want to try! Both are 15~20 minute (- as long as you don’t apply an overly thick layer) peel-off masks, yet each have a different…
[Ad-Gifted]: G9skin Pink Blur Hydrogel Eye Patches Review.
A few months ago I started using Hydrogel Eyepatchs on the odd occasion but wasn’t satisfied with packets containing 2 pairs at most. Thanking to G9skin I now have a tub of their ‘Pink Blur Hydrogel Eye patches’ to use at least once a week or “whenever wrinkle improvement is desired”. The packaging states that…
[Ad-Gifted]: Keep Cool Soothe Bamboo Toner Review 🌿
Not to long ago I reviewed the matching serum to this Keep Cool Soothe Bamboo Toner/킵쿨 수드 대나무 토너 (350ml). Usually I’m not the sort of person to use multiple products in a range, just because they correspond with each other I just don’t feel like it’s necessary to use a whole collection; especially if…
[Ad-Gifted]: Glowhill Total Solution Glow Ampoule Pads (review) ✨
Ampoule pads: Have you used them before? To tell the truth I didn’t know they existed until I received these Glowhill Total Solution Glow Ampoule Pads. If you seek youthful, glowing, glossy skin that’s achieved through the use of skincare rather than layering uncomfortable makeup products that aim to provide the same look, then I…
[Ad-Gifted]: Keep Cool – Soothe Bamboo Serum Review 🌿
I initially became intrigued by ‘Keep Cool’ skincare, particularly their ‘Soothe’ range, as it’s target beneficiaries are those with Sensitive Dehydrated Oily Skin: my skin type exactly. Firstly, I’d like to discuss the ‘Keep Cool Soothe Bamboo Serum/깁쿨 수드 대나무 세럼’ (50ml): 🌿 The serum utilizes bamboo water in replacement of typical mineral water found…
Masking: Does it work?
Why I stopped my ‘month of masking’ series.
[Ad-Gifted]: TheYeon Toning7 Radiance Liquid Cream Review 🌼
On Thursday I received TheYeon Toning7 Radiance Liquid Cream & I can already say that I’m very impressed! First of all, not often do we come across a skincare product that can act as a toner and light emulsion at the same time. To be exact the packaging states that it’s an “intensive liquid moisturiser…
[Ad-Gifted]: Manuka RX Ointment Review 💛 🇳🇿
Dry skin, combination skin, oily skin: whichever your skin type we all experience skin issues that need a little TLC with a natural remedy. The Manuka RX ointment, infused with Manuka Oil sourced from New Zealand, is “a local topical application for burns, chafing, cuts, cracked skin, splinters, minor abrasions, wounds, insect bites and nappy…
[AD-Gifted]: Ground Plan 24hr Secret Mist Plus Review 🕒
Until recently, I had always associated face mists with supplying a top-up of extra hydration throughout the daytime, and didn’t regard it as an essential item mainly due to not having dry skin. I now realise that I misjudged face mists, purely because I naively suspected that all mists were more or less the same:…
Dr G. Green Mild Up Sunscreen Review 💚
Even if you have never come across another Dr. G skincare product before, its still highly likely that you have stumbled upon this face sunscreen one way or another. Currently, for a prolonged time now, this sunscreen has remained the most sold & top rated product of it’s category on leading kbeauty distributing websites: both…

Tuesday 30th April I met up with my new friend Mara for some lunch, followed by coffee. I’m sure she won’t mind me introducing you to her as she also is present in the beauty blogging seen, just over on Instagram. It was only our second meet-up, so spending the afternoon together helped us to…

[Review]: Etude House Baking Powder Pore Cleansing Foam 🤔
Outside of Korea, most of us turn to kbeauty and fashion websites to purchase skincare products belonging to Korean, Japanese and Chinese brands. Among the most affordable and popular items on sites including Yesstyle for example, the Etude House Baking Powder range often is featured on their home/most highly rated items pages. Despite using Korean…
[Review]: Leaders Hydrogel Eye Therapy Patch.
As soon as this Spring begun, I rather abruptly started to experience the typical symptoms associated with Hayfever. We may have only just entered the month of April, however the majority of cherry blossoms have already bloomed and blustery winds seem to be blowing pollen and other allergens in nature in every possible direction. Commonly…
[AD-Gifted]: eyeNlip Beauty Matt Lipstick (아이앤립 매트 립스틱) Review
Kbeauty products are gradually growing in popularity outside of Korea itself; due to this sudden increase in demand to add unique, new or better quality cosmetics to the beauty market, it is of upmost importance to countless Kbeauty brands, including eyeNlip, to provide these qualities. Not only do eyeNlip offer ampoules, cleansing foams, shampoo, collagen…
[Review]: the SAEM – Eco Soul Sparkling Eye ✨
Another week is nearing an end. I’m feeling reflective about my life; in particular I’ve been contemplating all concerning my blog and how far it has come since I started posting on a fairly regular basis. I may not have thousands of readers who regularly return to my blog each week, nor have I been…
[Review]: NEW Innisfree Real Fit Matte Lipstick + Dr. Troub Sheetmask 💄
Yesterday, on the 20th February, Innisfree released their new ‘Real Fit Matte Lipstick’ line; offering both matte and regular formulations. The matte shades focus on variations of red; whereas the standard, somewhat satin finish type are ‘MLBB’ shades. There are 10 colours for each texture. The advertisements for the range seemingly push the matte type…
GRWM 🌸
Indubitably, I am the sort of person who religiously follows the same cosmetics routine despite being nosey for other’s morning routines: you’d think with all the hauls I read about, I’d be persuaded to venture off in search of new products; yet this hasn’t been the case for several months. So, what products have I…
[Review]: e.l.f Cosmetics Rose Gold Look Set (🌱vegan).
e.l.f Cosmetics is nothing new to the majority of cosmetic enthusiasts who aim to discover decent quality makeup, which is also cruelty-free and Vegan. I’m not entirely sure when e.l.f products were officially released in the UK; I somehow missed that memo after waiting a year plus for their arrival. Shame. When looking at the…
‘Treat yo self.’
Retail therapy: is it a bad habit to divert yourself from, or simply a chance to give yourself some gifts? I think as long as shopping for the non-necessities doesn’t become a frequent obsession, going on a little shopping spree once in a while is not unhealthy. It’s a mood lifter during patches of recurring…
Autumn Favourites – 2018 🍁🍂💛
Autumn: potentially the most admired season thanking to it’s aesthetically pleasing shades of Amber, Burgundy and earthy tones in addition to the revived comfort of hot chocolate drinks, tasseled scarfs and genuinely Pumpkin Spiced everything (- I’m more partial to a Maple Latte or Caramel Macchiato, if I dare say it). This season may have…
Anna Holtz Sheet Mask Review
I’ve never been one to spend a substantial amount of money when it comes to skincare. Argueably, luxury skincare brands aren’t on a whole one hundred percent ‘the best of the best; yet I’m not claiming that all high-end brands lack the ability to better the condition of people’s skin: it depends on a brand…
MOTD – 28/5/18 🌸
As of late I have been enticed by ‘Make-up of the day’ (MOTD) style blog posts despite being a wearer of minimal makeup: it just goes to show that there is some joy in seeking out the details of a random individual’s lifestyle and habits. If makeup is to be taken seriously and therefore premeditated…
What’s in my travel pouch? – Fukuoka Edition 🛫
Next week I’m taking a brief trip to Fukuoka, Japan. Unlike back in December of last year when I visited Osaka, I intend to take less of my belongs with me; mainly due to the fact that I’m restricted to using a holdall or small suitcase which complies with in-flight/carry-on luggage rules. Travelling in Spring…
Mini Kbeauty Haul/Review 🤔
Upon noticing that my relatively small makeup collection lacked pastel or Springtime appropriate shades – mainly due to the mass hoard of burgundy and brick rose coloured lip products – I decided to treat myself to some affordable basic cosmetics which would offer a subtle, more suitable look for the current season. I’m Meme/아임미미 ”I’m…
Daiso Mini Haul.
Daiso is a Japanese budget store providing basic homeware items including kitchen utensils, storage methods and cutlery as well as beauty and skincare items plus everyday essentials. It’s most comparable to pound shops in the UK and dollar stores in the US; only exception being that items generally range from 1,000₩-8,000₩ (0.65p-£5.25/$0.92-$7.40). In 9/10 cases…
