Hera UV Mist Cushion - C21 review


Claims
  • Gives natural moisturized glowing skin.
  • Fine mineral clay water provides moisture.
  • Brightening effect
  • Cooling effect by 2 degrees of skin temperature.
  • Moisture puff gives quick application.
  • Double container to prevent contamination.
  • SPF50+ PA+++
  • N shades are for natural coverage. C shades are for heavier coverage. No. 22 is supposed to be shiny for highlighting purposes.






My Experience

I have dehydrated dry skin that looks dry, cakey and flakey with all supposedly dewy liquid foundations.

It offers medium coverage that covers my freckles, redness and pores very well. Application is a breeze. You just dip and pat on. It blends effortlessly into skin. It provides a dewy finish. It's not shiny nor greasy, my face just felt supple and hydrated to the touch. Could this be HG?!


The shade C21 matches my skin quite well except a pinch too cool/pink for my yellow skin. I am MAC NC10-15, Everyday Minerals Olive Fair and Lucy Minerals Pale Olive.

It held up relatively well after a sweaty party. Minimal caking around my nose area. 

Conclusion

90%

I can see this work amazingly on everyone. All in all, it's a brilliant product that I think it could be HG for many people!

KoreaDepart haul #1

 HERA UV Mist Cushion SPF50+ PA+++ - C21

 Review coming soon!



Cutest packaging ever! It comes in a needle!! It's supposed to be a concentrated serum that you mix with their base serum or you can use it straight too :)

This hand cream sounded so promising but it was not as moisturizing as I like... I like very thick greasy hand creams but this was rather light. It just doesn't seem to satisfy my dry hands.

This hand cream is still pretty light but more moist feeling than the above. I like this one better. It's a good one to use on the go cause it's not greasy.
 

 Got this cause it was hella cheap! Under 5 bucks! Thought it would be a nice way to join the Snail hype :P

Freebies Galore!

Everything was well packaged. I named this haul #1 because I know I'll be having haul #2,3,4,5... very soon! The freebies were insane!

LA Colors Grafix Liquid Liner in Dark Brown review

Claims

Graphix liner is the perfect eyeliner to create fine or bold lines. Smudge-proof, tear-proof and water resistant formula dries quickly for long lasting wear. Unique flexible, foam-tip applicator provides precise lining to emphasize eyes beautyifully. 10 magnificent shades to choose from!

My experience 


The applicator is very stiff. To the point where it makes the application incredibly streaky. It was impossible to get a smooth line... See how it dips in in the middle of each swatched line?


The formula is not very waterproof either cause it washed off completely with water and a few rubs.

I know I shouldn't expect so much for $2.50 but this is just a waste of space for me.

Conclusion

0%

Useless.

Happy Halloween OOTD

F21 rarely do an all over discount... Usually just seasonal sales on the leftovers that's been picked over..

I am a true shopaholic ;p

Mad Hippie Eye Cream review

Claims

A rich, conditioning peptide eye cream that liberates your skin from wrinkles, swelling & discoloration.

My experience

My undereye area is dry so I need a heavy eye cream but most gives me milias... ughhhh! I use a pea size for both eyes at nighttime. It is very moisturizing without being greasy. No milias... Thank god! My eyes still felt incredibly moisturized the next day. It does a wonderful job of plumping up fine lines and making them disappear. The plumping action made my concealer go on much smoother the next day. Thumbs up for that!

This brand seems very promising! Can't wait to try the rest of the line. 

Conclusion

95%

I am loving this! Although it is not HG (because I doubt there's a magical eye cream that will erase all my dark circles....) but it's pretty darn close to HG. It helped my concealer cover my dark circles better so thats close enough? LOL! It definitely worked better than any eye creams I've tried. :D

Ingredients

Deionized water, niacinamide, regu-age, eyeliss, haloxyl, matrixyl 3000, glycerin, vitamin K (phytonadione), titanium dioxide, vitamin E (tocopheryl acetate), squalene, vitamin A (retinyl palmitate), cholecalciferol, vitamin C (ascorbyl palmitate), hydrolyzed wheat protein, argan oil, potassium sorbate, chamomile flower extract (recutita matricaria), vitamin E acetate, ceramide 3, buckwheat wax, white tea (camellia sinensis extract), pomegranate seed oil (punica granatum), sorbic acid, natural essential oils.

 I've always wanted a fancy teapot all my life... I can't seem to find the perfect one though cause I want one so pretty that would make the Queen jealous LOL! This one is not bad~ simple but decadent! It's plated in 18k gold and costs more than $500 :P

Or a more traditional Chintz one with the ever classic floral patterned fine bone china is irresistible too~ Swoons~~~

A little HK in me ♥

 


I am a Hong Kong baby. Even though I left when I was little but I visit almost every year. So, I always had some HK goodness in my blood.

Anyhoo~ This site is brilliant! HONG KONG EXPATTERY represents the view of foreigners living in HK. I can relate to 90% of the memes and I literally laugh out loud reading them!

Pastel Creperie & Dessert House


I had a wonderful foodie day in the Yonge & Finch area yesterday. Had yummy Korean food and desserts.


We had the Green Tea & Red Bean Waffle and ordered Milky Flake and Pistachio Cheesecake to go.... Because just dining in is not enough... Yes, I am a dessert monster! :p

They serve Rahier cakes so you cant go wrong with that! The waffle was okay... But thumbs up for the homemade green tea ice cream! Very green tea-y!


They had the most adorable decorations to show their Halloween spirit! The service was warm and welcoming.

Overall I enjoyed every bit of my visit there! ❤
