First Impression: DiorSkin Forever Foundation in 010 Ivory

Hello Princesses!

Today I'm going to be talking about the DiorSkin Forever Foundation in the shade 010 Ivory! I have always wanted to try some luxury brand foundations, so I popped by my local Dior counter and asked then to match me to the palest, warm toned foundation that was in stock.

First Impression: La'dor Perfect Fill Up Ampoule

Hello Princesses!

Today I'm going to be talking about the La'dor Perfect Fill Up (or perfect hair fill up ampoule)! I picked up one of these ampoules with my last Roseroseshop haul because I hear they are amazing for damaged hair!

This highly-concentrated ampoule contains a rich blend of collagen, protein, ceramide and amino acids that penetrates each hair strand to ensure superior nourishment and moisture to the hair.

Today I'm going to be talking about my shopping experience with MIK! MIK claims to be New Zealand's Number 1 Online Cosmetics Store, so I was interested to see how those claims turn out!

Website Practicality

This website is quite practical and easy to navigate. I found it easy to create a login, find items, add them to my cart, and check out. I do wish they had Paypal though, as that is generally how I get paid.

Review: My Beauty Diary Bird's Nest Mask

Hello Princesses!

Today I'm going to be talking about the My Beauty Diary Bird's Nest Mask! I bought these on a whim and they turned out to be really lovely!

Fail or Holy Grail Review: Below Average Products

Hello Princesses!

Today I'm going to be talking about some below average products! I didn't have any outstanding Fail or Holy Grail products to talk about this month, so instead of talking about a Fail product, I thought I would instead talk about some products that were below average, but didn't warrant a fail review. I'm doing the same for the Holy Grail post in two weeks, but I have a lot more Above Average products to talk about since if it's below average I usually end up not reviewing them and either selling them or giving them away.

First Impression: Nature Republic Aqua Super Aqua Max Combination Watery Cream

Hello Princesses!

Today I'm going to be talking about the Nature Republic Aqua Super Aqua Max Combination Watery Cream. I had one sample sachet of this cream, and thought I would at least get two to three uses out of it, but I only got one use! Such a small sachet!

What Does It Do?

"Aqua Sherbet Network System protects skin from the external environment by forming a moisture film over skin. Hyaluronic acid, a plant-derived moisture factor, keeps skin moisturized by continuously maintaining moisture in combination skin for long hours.

 
HOW TO USE : At the last step of skin care, apply an appropriate amount to the entire face, and gently pat for absorption."(1)

Review: Missha Geum Sul Vitalizing BB Cake in No.13

Hello Princesses!

Store Review: Boohoo

Hello Princesses!

Today I'm going to be talking about my shopping experience at Boohoo! I hear so much about this website on ads, from other beauty gurus and random people and have never actually shopped here before. I had a quick look through the website and fell in love with a pair of shoes, so decided to make a little purchase.

Website Practicality

This website is quite practical and I found it easy to create an account, fill my cart and check out. There are a lot of drop down categories and search tabs down the left side of the site, but every time my cursor moves past the drop down bars at the top of the page it brings down the whole section and it's hard to get the cursor out of the drop down bar so it disappears. I spent a lot of time trying to avoid going near the top bar. I also really wish that they had customer reviews on products.
