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…

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…

[Review]: the SAEM Eco Soul – Essence Cushion All Cover.
Since the end of last year, around the time of festivities, the Korean brand ‘the SAEM’ has had recurring price discounts of up to 50% across all of their products. I had never used any of their skincare or makeup products before so gathering an option of their cosmetics during their sale period seemed fitting.…

How to clean makeup sponges.
Anyone who relies on using a beauty blender or a sponge puff on a regular basis may have wondered “what is the best technique for cleaning makeup sponges?” For effectively cleaning cosmetic brushes it’s another story: there are plenty of brush washing devices on the market which allow you to thoroughly remove excess makeup between…

[Review]: Snow’ella – Zoella Beauty.
As I missed spending the Christmas just past with family, I have only just received my Christmas gifts which I didn’t expect to be presented with. Despite residing in the UK when Zoe Sugg (Zoella), one of the most popular beauty and lifestyle YouTubers, released her first and further beauty products in addition to home…

[Reviews]: Kbeauty – Base Makeup.
Second to lip products Korean Foundation cushions and BB creams are my preferred cosmetics in terms of interest. Despite not wearing much makeup, I have tried and tested a fair few Korean base makeup products: mainly thanking to all the free samples Korean stores give upon most purchases. For reference these products aren’t categorised into…

How to create a dewy makeup look with less makeup.
There isn’t a hidden secret to achieving a dewy, youthful makeup look without the need for numberous amounts of cosmetics. It’s all common sense. The key is layering skincare products rather than relying on primers, flash balms or highlighters. An ‘everyday’ dewy makeup routine like this is simplistic enough without being time consuming and is…

Daily Makeup Routine.
I titled this as ‘daily’ makeup routine when rather it should be my ‘sometimes’ makeup routine as on average I only wear makeup twice a week. If you were hoping to learn how to accomplish an intricate elegant eyeshadow look then I’m afraid you have come to the wrong blog post. I literally never have…

My Long Haul Flight Essentials.
The first flight I ever took was of April last year. It was a long haul flight from England to South Korea; and I was well prepared considering my close family members had never been on a flight themselves in order to be able to give me advice for this independent travel experience. Only problem…

My Night Time Routine – Pampering Edition.
The Night Time Routine is one of the most enjoyable anticipated parts of a day for me; whether it takes five minutes long or is an hour full of relaxation. I don’t have the best memory, although I am almost certain that I haven’t dedicated an entire blog post to my Night Time Routine prior…

Now you may be wondering (-or not, fair enough you are entitled to your option), what is all the hype concerning Korean beauty and skincare products? Well to state simply there are several benefits to Korean cosmetics and self-care products: If you can buy Kbeauty products directly from or in Korea, they’re cheap or mostly…

[Skincare]: My Winter Routine.
I’m quite sure it wasn’t all too long ago since I uploaded a post detailing the products I use for my daily skincare. I also often write about new beauty products I have purchased, reviewing a select few. This time round I have purposely not mentioned the new cosmetics in which I’m using, I will…

[Korean Beauty] products: The Best Sites to Buy them.
I’m sure by now that most of you are well aware of the increasingly popular ‘trend’ of using Korean Skincare and cosmetics in the Western parts of the world. Before I came to Korea I had already incorporated some Korean brand products into my routine. Seemingly people who are fans of kpop and other aspects…

[Blogmas] Day 18: My Christmas Day Makeup.
I don’t think that writing about the makeup I will wear on Christmas Day will be particularly interesting, however I do know that for myself and some other we enjoy being nosy when it comes to the habits of other people. I never wear full makeup, i.e. I don’t wear mascara, highligher, bronzer, contour, blusher…

[Blogmas] Day 14: Cosmetic Christmas Collections.
Christmas: A time for companies to use this non-dating ‘theme’ to help them on their way to rolling in cash… and the time for us to coat our faces in glitter. Such fun! (-applause to anyone who recognises this reference). Innisfree – It doesn’t appear as though they have any new makeup specially endorsed for…

Stocking filler don’t need to be expensive, although it would be nice if stockings were filled with something other than typical sweets, chocolate selection boxes and plain pairs of socks. Here is where I’m here to help (at least I aim to). Makeup brushes from unicorncosmetics.co.uk – prices of brushes start from £45.00: You may…

![[Blogmas] Day 5: Women’s Gift Ideas.](https://simplyemsblog.files.wordpress.com/2017/12/1512456392110.jpg?w=1024)
As yesterday’s post was based around gift suggestions for men, I thought it would only be fair to comply a list of gift ideas for ‘women’. Ted Baker the Porcelain Rose Garden Toiletries Collection – was £50.00, reduced to £25.00 at Boots: Ted Baker always endorse lovely gift sets in their stores and are easily found…

Does this post even need an introduction? I think it’s self explanatory. I have a feeling that this is going to be a rather lengthy gift suggestion list, so grab your desired beverage: mine is a fizzy Watermelon (-doesn’t exactly match well with festive aesthetics). I am well aware that these gift ideas won’t please…

[Skincare & Haircare]: Men’s Routine.
Undoubtedly physical appearance will never be as important as personality, however, it’s always attractive when a man cares about his hygiene and personal style just as much as the standards they expect women to uphold. I have used some ‘men’s’ facial care products before; I don’t believe that just because something has a masculine or…

All about Face Masks.
My first blog post which remains posted to this day was about 3 skincare remedies you can made at home.

My Current Skincare & Haircare Routines.
A second post in one day featuring skincare? I might have a slight obsession. What else can I say? I’m a simple person who is easily pleased. By no means do I have ‘perfect’ skin with completely gorgeous locks. These days I am starting to feel less depressed and confident about my appearance. I think…

5 of the Most Popular Korean Skincare & Beauty Products.
This list isn’t based on my recommendations alone, more so put together with the help of ‘best sellers’ sections of websites that sell Korean Skincare and beauty products. For some people they delve into using korean cosmetics due to their admiration of kpop idols and actresses, therefore wanting to adopt their styles, whereas others simply…

What’s in my bag?
The ever recurring ‘what’s in my bag’ tag?’… and all other versions of it, is something I’ve never joined in with. I’m not a trend follower or particularly interested in makeup, but I will admit that it’s partly interesting to be nosey about other people’s lives and to see what items they use on a…

My skincare routine: For very sensitive, oily skin.
By no means am I a dermatologist. Just from a young age I have tried and tested alot of products in the attempt to find skincare that isn’t irritating for my very sensitive skin whilst at the same time removes deep sebum. Usually this isn’t a good skin type combination to have. If I use…

Makeup suitable for fair skin.
In the Western parts of the world there is such a diversity in race, that most makeup brands aim to produce a wide variety of base makeup shades. However, in the UK at least, having tanned skin is considered ‘healthy looking’. I don’t think there is absolutely anything wrong with having tanned skin as long…
