Three LUSH Shampoo Bar Review

I recently when shopping at Lush, and got 3 of there shampoo bars. I haven't use all the shampoo bars, but I used most of them. And, all the ones I have tried lathers really well, a little goes a long way, very soothing without irritating my scalp. But, with different shampoo bar, there are different effect and benefits. In this post, I am reviewing these 3 bars I just purchased. 

Wash Your Face with Oatmeal

      I love finding natural ways to care for my skin. I have sensitive skin that gets red easily, and I get occasional acne on my cheeks. There are a lot of chemical facial cleanser, and these cleansers can be really harmful to the skin. Many beauty DIY are very complicated, but this oatmeal cleanser is very simple, only takes one ingredient.

Smell Delicious with Laura Mercier Bath & Body Collection

Laura Mercier Bath & Body Collection

      The bath & body collection from Laura Mercier have came out for a while, but I have never get my hands on them since they are such luxurious products. But, I went shopping the other day and used my membership credits at the Laura Mercier counter. I decided it is a good chance to explore the bath & body collection. With all my membership credits, I only spent a little amount of money on these two products. And, I don't regret my decision. 

Perfect Natural Looking Skin with UNT BB/ CC Cream

      I am a hoarder for foundation and other kinds of base makeup. Creating a flawless canvas is my favorite part of applying makeup. I went a little shopping online with UNT a couple of weeks ago. UNT is a very well known brand in Taiwan mostly sells online. UNT is famous for their nail polishes, so I was skeptical of their makeup range at first. But, after reading some reviews on their BB cream, I decided to give it a try. 

Anti-aging Skincare Routine

      It is harder to eliminate wrinkles than to prevent fine lines. The best way to stay young is to start an anti-aging beauty regime before you really need it. And, for women, our skin and health condition starts to go downwards when we are at the age 25. So, I think it is the best time to start using product that can prevent aging. In this post, I'm introducing 3 skincare products I have been using to stay young.

REVIEW: Benefit Porefessional Primer

How to Clear Body Acne

How to clear body acne

      Many people suffer from the problem of body acne, mostly on the back. I used to have really bad back acne, and it really bothers me. I can't wear beautiful clothe with cut out design on the back, and I get very insecure to wear swimsuit. I tried many different ways to cure my body acne, and now, my back looks pretty much clear and smooth. There are still some white heads here and there, but everything is going so well, now, I can wear clothes that shows off my back. Here, I am going to share with you some tips on how I clear body acne, and some great products I recommend.

REVIEW: Lush Ocean Salt

Lush Ocean Salt Review

      If you have been reading my blog for a while, you may already know that I am a believer of exfoliating. I think this is what makes the biggest difference in the skincare process. My favorite scrub of all time is Ocean Salt from Lush (yes, it's Lush again). I have repurchased this product multiple times, and I am here to tell you why I love this scrub so much. If you haven't try this yet, I hope this review can help you make a decision. 

Makeup Cleansing Oil DIY

      I have tried many different kinds of makeup removers, wipe, cream, oil based, water based. But, I am not satisfied with any of them. I want something that can remove my makeup completely, without clogging my pores. Also, I want a product that is natural and fresh. My skin gets irritated easily, it often get red and get pimples. Finally, I found a cleansing oil DIY recipe, and I made one myself. It is life changing! 

Summer Beauty Must-have

      When the season changes, it is  good opportunity to have fun with different products. For summer, we can try brighter colors for makeup, use more light weight skincare products, and control oil and shine. In this post, I am sharing a few items that I love to use during summer.

Summer Lip Balm Recommendation

Summer Lip Balm

      Summer is officially here, the days are getting hotter and hotter in Taiwan. My favorite thing to do, right now, is to find a coffee shop and steal the air conditioning for the afternoon. It's very important to get hydrated in the Summer. If we are not drinking enough water, our lips can be too dry. And, if we stay in an air conditioning room for too long, our lips can also become dry. In this post, I'm introducing some light weight but hydrating lip balm for the hot weather. 

Beauty Ingredient: Deodorant

Beauty Ingredient Deodorant

      It is a little awkward to talk about body order and armpits. But, I think everybody can relate to this topic since its summer. Perfume can only add good smell but it cannot cancel bad smell. What we really need is a deodorant.  It is very important to use a deodorant when you go out, especially during summer when you will definitely sweat. We don't want to smell bad, and it could be very impolite to others as well. In this post, I am going to tell you what ingredient deodorant uses and how to choose a good one. 

Watercolor Nails

      I just did this beautiful nails inspired by the nail look I saw from Michelle Phan's video. It is very beautiful and easy. I don't usually post about my nails, but I am very happy with this design. I would like to share with you how this is done. 

      This nail design is quite simple. There is no detail drawings involved, as you can see it is a little messy. 

1. Apply base coat.
2. Apply a coat of white nail polish. This color acts like a white canvas for the painting. 
3. After the white color is dried. Randomly dot on other colors.
4. Before the dots are dried, smudge them a bit with a Q-tip.
5. Lastly, apply two layers to top coat to make it look brighter.

      The look is really artistic and colorful. It looks a bit like floral design from afar. And, you can play with different color combination to create a complete different look. It's really fun for a summer day, it adds a playfulness to your style. I seldom wear colorful nails like this, but I think I'm in love with this look. 

Would you try this watercolor nails?

Lightweight Sunscreen for Summer

Lightweight Sunscreen for Summer

       It is getting extremely hot and humid here in Taiwan. We all know that it is important to put on sunscreen, but sometimes it's too sticky and too uncomfortable to do so. Do you ever have this feeling that the weather is so hot, the last thing you want to do is rubbing on products with your warm palm. I do. So, I went and look for some lightweight sunscreen to use this summer. Keep reading to see what I got, and my reviews on these products.

Lush Solid Perfume Review

      I love Lush solid perfume, I have tried many of them for many years. I love how the scent is more natural and more portable than spraying perfumes. Also, it contains less chemical, and is perfect for people who don't like alcohol. Lush have been trying different things in their perfume line, add new scents, change packaging, etc. I am going to review two solid perfumes I'm currently loving from their perfume line.
