REVIEW: Yanwaili Magical Lips lip-balm


I'm back with a review! Sorry for the lack of posts, just not been motivated to blog lately due to school work etc. 
So I purchased this lip-balm back when I was in Hong Kong + it's called Yanwaili Magical Lips. It's supposed to react to your body chemicals + change the colour of your lips to a shade of pink depending on each individual.





The lip-balm has no colour to it whatsoever so I was actually doubting whether it would work or not.

I can safely say that this little lip-balm does work! It added an extra boost of natural looking pink to my lips which is nice. ^^

What do you think?

Review + Swatch: Maybelline New York Gel Eyeliner (01 Intense Black)

I'm sure many of you's have heard of Bobbi Brown's gel eyeliner and all the good reviews it has received. However, as I didn't want to spend so much on a tiny pot of gel eyeliner, I decided to opt for Maybelline's new gel eyeliner!


RRP: £7.99

I think the packaging looks similar to Bobbi Brown's gel eyeliner apart from the cap. The gel is in a small glass tub and secured with a metal cap. It also comes with a brush too which is really useful!


A closer look at the brush + the gel

I decided to try it out + what are my thoughts? It's super easy to apply on! I thought it would be quite difficult + awkward to apply on at first but I was wrong. The brush makes it super easy to apply as you can have thick or thin strokes which is really good! 
Here's the outcome:




I wouldn't say the colour is 'intense black' with one stroke but you could always add on more layers to make the colour more black. 

Product: 9/10
Pigmentation: 8/10
Texture: 9/10
Application: 10/10
Packaging: 10/10

Overall? Highly recommended for those looking for a gel liner!

LUSH: Magic Mushroom Review


DescriptionMagic Mushroom has two distinct scents. In the red cap, there's the nostalgic fragrance of our Yummy Yummy Yummy shower gel (sniff); and in the white bit, we've used our signature creamy vanilla scent. Together, it blends to give you bubbles that smell like a bowl of fresh strawberries covered in cream. There won't be mushroom for anyone else in your life - or bath - when you've got one.


Okay, I'm not gonna lie, I purchased this Magic Mushroom from LUSH last year not this year. Although it may not be as fresh as when I bought it, the scent of the bubbles still smelt really good!
What does it smell like? Well, the red mushroom bit smells like strawberries + the white bits smell like vanilla. Combine them together + they smell like strawberries + cream (or strawberries + vanilla)!


I divided the bubble bar into two parts + used only the white bit. I then crushed them up into smaller particles so they form bubbles quicker when under running water!


As you can see, there are a lot of bubbles!


Okay... maybe too much bubbles ^^" 
Anyway, I would highly recommend LUSH's Magic Mushroom bubble bar to anyone. It gives a really nice fruity strawberry smell + also leaves your skin feeling smooth although it doesn't mention this in the description. 

Have you tried LUSH's Magic Mushroom bubble bar yet? If not, you better hurry as it's limited edition!
