REVIEW:: Benefit POREfessional Agent Zero Shine

Happy Sunday everyone! As promised, here is a mini review on Benefit's newest addition to their POREfessional line - Agent Zero Shine! If you follow us on Instagram/Facebook, you probably know that I have acquired this about a week ago and thought that I would share my first thoughts on this product.

REVIEW:: Apivita Express Beauty with Propolis

Happy Monday guys!

Apivita is a greek brand that focuses on using natural ingredients (all products contain between 80 - 100% natural ingredients). Apivita in Latin means "life of a bee" and the honey bee and the bee colony is one of Apivita's main inspirations. They have their own bee farm in which they harvest  natural bee ingredients including honey, royal jelly and propolis (that are free of pesticides and chemical residues) to be used in their skincare range. 

Apivita is extremely famous for their range of masks and due to their founding focus on bees - I was naturally very excited to try out their express beauty with propolis.

Eve Lom Cleanser:: Thoughts and Review

Happy Monday everyone! Hope you all had a great weekend! 

I have acquired the infamous Eve Lom cleanser a few months back from lookfantastic.com but did not have the chance to test it out. Cleansing is a very important step in my skincare regime and honestly, I was a bit skeptical as to how one single cleanser can properly cleanse my skin as well as remove all traces of makeup. 

EMPTIES:: September and October edition with Lancome, Fresh, Kiehls andmore!

How fast has October flown by? It's that time of the month to share my empties again (I know I missed September, oops!)

I've managed to run through quite a bit of hair care and first up - Kiehl's Amino Acid Shampoo. I've heard great things about the shampoo but it really didn't do much for my hair. It was quite difficult to spread through my hair and 500ml ran out really quickly for this reason. I did like that it was made with botanical ingredients and do not contain the nasty stuff (parabens and whatnot) but seeing as there are plenty of alternatives, I probably won't repurchase this. 

Dynamic Duo:: Biore Makeup Remover

    

Happy Friday everyone!  My facialist have been giving me grief for using an oil-based make up remover and have attributed my constant problems with little whiteheads and clogged pores to my previous holy grail make up remover, the Shu Uemura Cleansing Oil.

I know a lot of you use the Shu Uemura as a make up remover, however, although it is the one-step no fuss make up remover that gets rid of everything, my facialist is of the opinion that as it is oil-based, you need to completely emulsify the oil in order to ensure that no residue is left on your face and she believes that even with double-cleansing, if oil is not emulsified properly, it may lead to clogged pores. However, I still love the Shu Uemura to date and use it whenever I am travelling and when I get home really late at night.
