Review: Banila Co. Clean it Zero

Hello Princesses!

Today I'm going to be talking about the Banila Co. Clean It Zero! This cleanser is often hailed as a Holy Grail, so I decided to grab one to try after I finished my mammoth bottle of cleansing oil.

East VS West Review: Clinique Bottom Lash Mascara VS Innisfree Skinny Waterproof Microcara

Hello Princesses!

Today I'm going to be doing my very first East VS West comparison! I really couldn't think of a better name than East VS West, but if there are any suggestions for this series I would love to hear it! ^ ^ Earlier on in the month I reviewed the Innisfree Skinny Waterproof Microcara, which I initially bought because I heard that it was very similar to the Clinique Bottom Lash Mascara but cheaper. I really wanted to compare them, since the price difference is pretty substantial!

Review: Benefit Lip Tints

Hello Princesses!

Today I'm going to be taking about the Benefit Lip Tints! There are four in the collection, I have two full sizes and two minis because the full sizes are $57 each which is a little out of my budget.

Store Review: Korean Kiwi Beauty

Hello Princesses!

Today I'm going to be talking about my shopping experience with Korean Kiwi Beauty! KKB is a fairly new New Zealand based KBeauty store so they are quite small still, but they have a good range of products. KKB was first introduced to me when the owners reposted some of my photos on their Instagram. I reached out to KKB to see if we could collaborate and was pleasantly surprised to see they already followed my blog!

Website Practicality

I found KKB very pleasant to shop with, it was very easy for me to create an account, find my items and check out. KKB is a New Zealand based store so it accepts credit cards, bank transfers and Paypal for payment. I wish there was a way that I could be a little more selective in the way the products are filtered, eg you can only filter make up products into Face, Eyes and Lips, whereas I would like a further filter to look just for blushes, or foundations etc. Other than that, I found the website very aesthetically pleasing and easy to use.

Review: Innisfree Skinny Waterproof Microcara

Hello Princesses!

Today I'm going to be talking about the Innisfree Skinny Waterproof Microcara! There are three different types of this Skinny mascara, there is a lengthening version, a volume version, and this which is the waterproof super skinny, curling version. I was so intrigued by this because I've heard so much about the Clinique bottom lash mascara and thought this may a cheaper alternative!

Fail or Holy Grail Review: Banila Co Miss Flower and Mr Honey Essence Oil

Hello Princesses!

Today I'm going to be talking about the Banila Co Miss Flower and Mr Honey Essence Oil! I have talked about the Miss Flower and Mr Honey Cream previously as it is a Holy Grail for me (and definitely still is!) however the oil turned out to be a huge acne filled fail for me.

Review: Espoir Nude Cushion Dewy

Hello Princesses!

Today I'm going to be talking about the Espoir Nude Cushion Dewy in the lightest shade which is Porcelain! This is a fairly well known pale cushion shade, so I never bothered investigating until I saw the refills on sale. Purchasing a refill rather than the actual cushion is always cheaper, but in this instance the full size cushion also comes with an extra refill, so I thought it would be a waste to essentially purchase two on the off chance that I would like them.

Store Review: Sephora NZ

Hello Princesses!

Today I'm going to be talking about my shopping experience with Sephora NZ. I have never shopped with Sephora before because they don't stock very much in the way of K-Beauty, and the prices for the K-Beauty they have is quite expensive. Recently the NZ store has been in the media due to many lost orders and almost non existent customer services, you can read about it here if you are not based in New Zealand. I placed my order shortly after Black Friday/Cyber Monday.
 

Website Practicality

I find the website easy to shop with, it's quite easy to navigate and is aesthetically pleasing. It was easy to set up an account, find my items, add them to my cart and check out.
