Review: Innisfree Green Tea Cleansing Foam, Pure Skin Toner and Pure Lotion

(Unfortunately photos in this post were lost due to The Great Deletion of 2014. Some efforts to re-do photos will be made but not all posts will be redone.)

I got to try a 7 day kit of the Innisfree Green Tea skincare line when I bought a Korean magazine. Innisfree is a Korean brand which touts itself as being focused on using natural ingredients. Many of its focal ingredients come from Jeju Island, Korea. They're also focused on eco-friendly packaging and providing their products at affordable prices. Lots to like about this brand! This green tea line from Innisfree sounded quite promising since it is focused on moisturizing (recurring theme...). Let's take a look at how they perform!

I've notice that I've blogged a lot of lip product and unfortunately today's post is another one. I thought I had lost this tube of lip...gloss (?) but found it a jacket pocket recently. Have to say, am falling in love with this product again. 

Empties #1

One of the favorite types of Youtube videos is the Empties Video. I don't know why but there is a strange thrill in hearing about the amazing progress other bloggers have made in decreasing their makeup/skincare hoards (while probably buying a few items to make up for the loss of one, I know I am quite guilty of this). It's a nice chance to give snaps and claps for a job well done and to do a final victory lap for all the hard effort it took to finish up the rest of that tube of whatever. It's also a great way to hear about what things are worth a repurchase or a skip the next go-around at the store. So, I am more than happy to contribute my first empties post! Huzzah to me for finish up some of these items. Seriously, it makes me feel more proud than it ought to.  

Wearable Zen: Beauty Looks for Fall Ready-to-Wear 2013

I finally got around to looking at the beauty looks from all the runway shows last month. I love that the Vogue website not only has full coverage of the runaway but also includes details on the makeup looks as well. This time around I noticed a lot of fresh clean faces with simple details for the eyes. There were a few designers who chose camel colored eyeshadows and of course cat eyes as well. All very easy to recreate and I'm hoping to try some of these out myself. Here are just some of my picks. (all photos are credited to Vogue and the designers)

Stressed Out Saviours

These last couple of months have been straight up disastrous as far as my mental health goes. My program thought it would be a wonderful idea to have 16 assignments due in 6 weeks. This has left even the most hardened male student in fits of tears. To ease some of the tensions, there have been a few things that I've been using to try and make things just a little bit better.

Review: Lancome Hypnose Drama and Cils Booster XL

For some reason, samples of Lancome mascara are really easy to come by in my household. This has mainly been due to Lancome gift with purchases that always seem to have a mascara in them. Typically I've gotten the Lancome Definicils which I never really liked but I was pleasantly surprised to be gifted with a sample of their Hynose Drama and Cils Booster XL. Let's see how these mascaras stack up.
