Winter Survival Skincare Products

Winter Survival Skincare Products

Doesn't matter what kind of skin you have, if you live in Canada, winter is cold and dry. I have combination skin and in the summer time, I tend to go easy on moisturizer as I don't like the tackiness mixed with hot weather and humidity. But in the winter, I need to use extra products to make sure my skin is well-hydrated.

Belif is a Korean skincare brand which uses natural ingredients. In the past, I have tried to stay away from foam cleanser as they always tend to dry out my skin but this Creamy Cleansing Foam Moist does not and good to use even in the morning when my skin usually feels drier. This Travel Kit * also contain their refreshing toner, skin-luminizing essence, firming eye cream and my favorite: moisturizing facial cream. I am relatively new to use essence. This essence adds extra hydration to skin before applying moisturizer, making my foundation application much smoother. It is an excellent kit for travel and also a great way to try their best products.

Kiehl's Creamy Eye Treatment has been my must have in the winter. I like to layer this on top of my current eye cream to make sure my eye area is well-hydrated.

My favorite sheet mask currently is still the G-Dragon Fantastic Shining Mask. Very affordable and delivers great results.(Not to mention I am a big fan of G-Dragon :)

For overnight, I sometimes use the Origins Drink Up Mask. It is a very thick leave-on sleeping mask. It does take some time to get used to the thick texture though and get absorbed.

Laneige Lip Mask is actually more of a thick creamy lip balm. Texture is similar to pricey Dior Creme de Rose but this is way more affordable and effective.

For mid-day hydration, I love using the Tatcha Luminous Dewy Skin Mist. Unlike other hydrating mist, this one stays on the skin for an extended period of time and still give your skin a healthy luminous glow and moisture. Even though it is so pricey, I think it is totally worth it.

Last but not least is the Lush's Ro's Argan Body Conditioner. I fell in love with it a few years back and have been using it every winter. I use it as a rich body moisturizer and hand cream. Lathering a thick layer on my hand before I go to bed and my hands will stay feel soft and hydrated in the morning.

Sephora Wish List

Sephora Wish List



When Sep rolls around, a lot of new makeup surfaced. Sephora VIB sale will  be in late fall and it is never too early to make a wish list.

Anything caught your eye?

p.s. I can't resist and already placed an order for the Tatcha set as I have been eyeing on the mist for soooooooo long and last year's set was out of stock most of the time. This set seems like an awesome deal as the full-sized luminous dewy mist alone is CAD $58 already.

Styling BLACK LACE TANK TOP

Styling Black Lace Tank

When you think of certain clothing items, like black lace tank top or gothic dresses, they can be worn only a handful of times or maybe only at certain occasions. But if they are styled correctly, you can make a lot of wear out of them.

Black tank lace tops can be worn as camisoles and underneath a silky kimono top for a nice summer day outfit. Black goes with everything and when lace is added to them, it just add so much more character to the tank. Of course, you have to be careful with lace tank top if your work environment is more conservative. Layer it with an office-appriproiate jacket would always work.



For a night out, this hollow out lace black tank top with a flowy long skirt would be perfect.




Or a spaghetti-strap black simple dress would do. Accessorize it with a vibrant-colored scarf and statement necklace would make this a stunning outfit.

Summer Sale

Currently, Rosegal is having a great Summer Sale and even better, they are kind enough to send my readers another additional 10% off using code:RGEN.

Perfect WHITE DRESS

Perfect WHITE DRESS

Summer is here and what better time it is to get cool dresses.  My choice would be either a perfect white dress or maxi dress for comfort. Come on, summer in Canada is so short(maybe 2 months max.) and when you find the right dress, you wear it over and over again until Labor Day.



I like simple designs and comfort is a must. When you think of hot weather, I don't want to be stuck in a tight dress all day long feeling uncomfortable. A flowy dress is perfect.



Another favorite for the summer is the maxi dress. I love floral prints and this dress is great for a summer BBQ or just a night out. 

Zaful is a new online store I have discovered lately and they have an amazingly large collection of clothing, accessories and shoes. Prices are very affordable and quality is good.


Zaful is kind enough to give my readers a coupon code: ZFEN for 10% off selected items and here is the link.

Sephora Spring Sale Wishlist 2017

Sephora Spring Sale Wishlist 2017

Sephora has 2 sales every year. It is rare so if you have been eyeing on some goodies, better take advantage of the sale. Their sale(15% off)starts April 18(and ends April 24) for Rouge members using code ROUGESPRING. I believe VIB members start a day later.

I don't have a whole lot on my wishlist. Some of them are my regular skin care items so time to stock up. Others include lipstick sets which I love. I am a lipstick hoarder and I have not finished one single full-sized lip product for a longggggggggg time. These mini ones in the sets are just perfect for me. 

What is on your wishlist?

What is on my radar

What is on my radar

I admit I have been doing pretty good in controlling my splurges on makeup. Besides my latest obsession with sheet mask and skin care products, I haven't bought any new makeup products. But that does not mean I have lost interest in makeup.  Fall/winter and even holiday collection is gradually coming and I know with the Sephora VIB sale in Oct/Nov, I would be doing major damage on my wallet already. For now, I just have a few things on my radar.

On My Radar

On My Radar



January is usually a slower month for retailers as holiday season is gone and sale is uneventful. But it is quite exciting for the beauty world as brands are pushing out their spring collection one after another.

I am not a big highlighter gal but the Chanel perles et fantasies is just so gorgeous. Just look at the pretty pearl embossing. I would be just staring at how pretty it is and not use it. Think you can get it at Nordstrom here in Canada for now. Another gorgeous one is the Dior Glowing Gardens collection Glowing Pink. 

Another interesting product is the Bite matte lip crayon in Blanc. Who would think of a white lip crayon? You can layer that with your lipstick to create a whole different shade. I have a few bright shades which I am still timid to wear. This would be great tool to tone them down and make them more wearable.
