While I've been gone, I've found a new interest in Korean beauty products. I had a look around at what they had to offer one fine day and had a little 'Have I been living under a rock?' moment. I've been hooked onto trying more and more since then. So don't be surprised if you see a few less talked about products or things that may not be easily available in stores on here. They do their job really well so it's a worth a mention on my blog. Anyway when it comes to beauty, I like a challenge. Tracking down a product after some effort makes it so much more satisfying to finally use it. Just me?

So let's talk about this face gel/moisturiser/aftersun mask (?)That's the thing about korean beauty products. A lot of them do more than one thing. They're big on multitasking and that's one of the reasons I was really intrigued about such products. You never know what they'll do for your skin until you try them and the results are usually quite interesting.

Quantity : 285 ml

Shelf Life : 12M

What it claims : Fresh Lotus Gel is made up of clear, glass like beads that contain Lotus Flower Extract from Jeju Island. This multipurpose gel protects against harmful environment aggressors , soothes tired skin and can be used daily or after sun exposure.

Free from: Parabens, Tar colorant, Mineral Oil, Talc & Paraffin.

Price : Around $10 but it can go up to $20 depends on where you're buying it from. 

The first thing I did is google Jeju island because I am a beauty nerd like that. Jeju Island is also known as the 'Island of the Gods' and is well known for it's volcanoes and tropical beaches. I've seen a lot of volcanic beauty products from this range too and now it all makes sense. Probably next up on my list!

A social media sabbatical

taking-a-break-from-social-media-and-what-i-learnt
After almost two months into a social media detox, I think I’ve finally reached a point where I can look back and report on how this thing’s been working out. If you didn’t know, I decided to take a little break from my blog + social media on the 3rd of March, 2017. I won’t go into the reasons why I decided upon this but I will say I had a lot going on in my life at the time with very little free time to myself. In those hours of peace, I wanted to be by myself, do things that can help me wind down instead of taking up more pressure than I could handle.

I’m not the one to fake post about how great my life is when it isn’t and nor did I want to be that whiny person complaining everyday – so I thought this would be the best bet. It was a spontaneous decision and one that I will stand by because it has helped me gain some perspective on my blog and how I want to proceed with it.

La girl Pro HD Base Products Review

LA Girl Pro HD Face Matte Powder, Pro Conceal HD and Pro Coverage Foundation Review
A pretty affordable range of base products that I've been continuously impressed with/ willing to try out is the Pro HD line from La Girl. I first purchased the Pro Face powder last year and since then have moved onto buying a lot of things from the range and the brand itself which is cruelty free and at a price I cannot resist. So I'm here to share my thoughts about these today.

Perfectionism and the reasons why I blog

The-reasons-why-I-blog
I’m super close to the 2 year anniversary of my little space on the internet and I’ve never felt the need to write a post talking about what it all means to me until now. You may or may not have noticed my irregular appearances on this blog and this is not a post talking about excuses why I haven’t been churning up content but a heart to heart about what I’ve been feeling. I have always wanted to write ever since I was a child. I would spend hours even as a ten year old conjuring up make believe stories about bears, children, haunted houses and so on. It was my favourite thing to do and a part of who I was and have grown up to be.
