Twice Lollipop


Not long ago I found this really interesting product in 7-11 I do believe and for lollipop lovers, this is a product you would not want to miss. It is the Twice lollipop. Just like any other lollipop, it is hard candy on a stick, but it is not just ONE blob of candy but TWO!


Quite interesting, is it not? Though you don't actually get twice the product, you do get extra compared to the original version of it. Another good thing about it is that you get to choose which one to have more or less of. But then at the same time the taste of it won't mix really well so if you are the type who would like your candy to taste the same after time then you would want to stay away from this.

For people who wish to try something new and exotic, you HAVE to try this!!!

Face wipes



I forgot when I have started to use face wipes to remove makeup, but one thing I know for sure is that it really saves a lot of time.

I personally love to use water proof makeup, and no matter how much other people say that oil based makeup remover is good and they take out all the makeup you have on your face, to me it never seems to be able to take my mascara off. So I would have to use the eye makeup remover then use the oil based makeup remover. With those makeup remover, they would also tell you that you don't have to wash your face again after using it, but to me it seems like there is still always something on my skin that isn't cleaned off properly and I ending up washing my face once more. But by having the makeup remover wipes, I won't have to wash my face twice. I would still recommend you to wash your face after that, the wipes can only take your makeup off, but a full face cleansing is always beneficial to your skin.

I have only started for quite a while honestly so I haven't tried a whole lot of different types of makeup removing wipes. But personally I really like Comodynes Convenient Cosmetics' makeup remover wipes and the biggest reason is because it has a large range of choices for different skin types, which is unlike other brands. I am not sure where you can get it outside Hong Kong, but if you are in America, the e.l.f. face wipes are good too.

I have tried two different wipes for different skin types and it really does have a huge difference. First they smell different, I know this might now be as significant to a lot of you, but I do believe in aroma therapy and I tend to use products that has a pleasing scent. And secondly, I do believe the amount of alcohol in it is different, the one for normal skin has more compared to the combination skin. The formula is made for a particular skin type so it would be beneficial if you get the one that fits your own skin type.

Revlon Top Speed Nail polish

Not a long while ago I came across the Revlon Top Speed Nail Polish that was sold in Watsons. It is more expensive than a regular Revlon nail polish and I didn't really want to pick one up, but then I saw that they had an amazing grey color so I decided to give it a try. Long story short, it was a whole new experience.


I have always been a Revlon nail polish lover because they have nice nail polish with good consistency but they don't really have such a variety of colors to choose from, but then the Top Speed line has a huge variety of colors in it. Also a lot of them are cream based, one thing that I love about these nail polishes is that because they are cream based and very opaque by having it in a quick dry formula, it really helps dry the coats of nail polish that you put on. It really helps decrease the time on both the colour pigmentation as well as the time taken for it to dry. If you are up to pay just a little bit more than drug store nail polish, then I have to say that the Revlon Top Speed Nail Polish is worthy of the price and you would be really satisfied with the outcome of it.

nanoblock

I know that this isn't something I would usually review on but I think I have grown into another addiction and that is building things.
This is actually something I wished to buy for a very long time but never actually had the chance to buy it cos I have always thought that it was way too over priced, but on the trip to Macau I sort of went on a shopping mode and bought it for the sake of buying it. And I have to say the purchase was worth it.
Nanoblock is just miniature sized lego which you can use to build animals mostly I do believe. And you can keep it as a decoration at home. It took me a while to choose and at the end I chose to buy the clown fish.


Well you can see above the package comes with mini lego pieces and instructions, I have to say that at first the instructions would look quite intimidating but then as time goes by you would find it really easy to understand.


Aren't they just so cute??

Lip Balm Collection and Review


This is just going to be a show of my lip product collection [the ones that I can find in my room, I know that there are quite a few missing] and a short review on the items. I am going to start with lip balms.



1. The apple: it is a Japanese brand [not sure which one it is], it smells like apple real bad and it is decent as a lip balm
2. Paul Frank x Lip Smackers Strawberry: it is as big as a glue stick, pricey but IT IS Paul Frank and Lip Smackers so worth it.
3. Body Shop x MTV Guavan Lip Butter: limited edition for this thingy.. I don't even know what that was but I really love the scent of this, never used it though cos I am not a big fan of lip butters
4. MAC Lip Conditioner: talked about it before and one word - AMAZING
5. Jill Stuart Lip Balm [normal scent]: the product is good but honestly I bought this just cos of the package
6. Figs & Rouge Balm Rambling Rose: this one I got from Sasa and it is pretty moisturizing and one thing about this is it is 100% organic
7. Murad Green Tea & Energizing Pomergrante Lip Protector: got them on the plane, good for the plane. I would actually buy them if I ever finish these sample sizes [kind of impossible]
8. Happy Tree Friends Happy Lips Strawberry Scream: well long story short, bought it cos it is a Happy Tree Friends side product, it smells good but not very good
9. Body Shop Cranberry ones: they are good but not gonna talk much about it cos it is winter limited editions
10. Mac Pink Tinted Lip conditioner: really nice tinted lip balm, it gives color but it won't actually tint your lips like some other ones
11. Baby Pink and Baby Pink Glossy Lips: these are really popular ones in Japan and they are really nice, and the good thing about the Glossy Lips one is that you don't even need to put an extra layer of gloss to make your lips glossy
12. Oslee Lip Balm: I don't know how I am going to put this but I have a love and hate relationship with this one,
13. Mentholatum Water Colour in Bubbly Wine: brings a really nice tint to your lips and it won't strip the moisture off from it as well
14. Color Cosmo Honey Lip Balm
15. Origins Lip Remedy: talked about this one before as well, really like this product and it is a must have during Winter
16. HISA Lip balm in Peach and Honey: I bought this just because it looked really beautiful, not only does it have a rhinestone on the top of the packaging, the blam itself has a shape of a gem when you first uses it. Product wise... it is just fine
17. labello Velvet Rose: it is really nice one, and gives a really vague pink tint to your lips, very famous brand I have to say

Hope the review helped some of you getting a new lip balm and remember to stay tune for a lip gloss collection and review!

My favourite face mask for the summer

Personally, my skin breaks out easier during summer and this happens to most of the people I assume due to the hot weather and the increase of oil secretion. Therefore, I would use oil controlling face masks during summer.


The face mask above is the best oil controlling mask I have ever used. I actually got attracted by this because this is limited addition (DUH!~ =]) along with other ones that I picked up from mannings. I started using the other ones until my monthly came and hormones were doing their 'magic', I tried to use one of these to control my skin from breaking out. The other day when I woke up, my skin was nice and smooth with no break out and it felt so good and oil free I was amazed. I am not sure how this works but this is really good.

I know there isn't much point to recommend this because it is limited and I believe most of them are gone, but I have to say if you are lucky enough to see one, GET IT! Cos it is really good. Before I can find any replacement, this one will have to be the best oil controlling mask I have ever used.

Ps. This is very affordable as well, I believe you can get this ranging from $6-$10 per piece and there are 5 pieces in one box.

LGB Marshmallow Review

I can't believe this :P I am actually reviewing marshmallows, but they are honestly awesome.

$24/pack

The pink one is strawberry flavoured and the yellow one is lemon flavoured. I don't know how to perfectly explain this but I have to say that this is very different from normal marshmallows that you can find in general, so if you are curious, you should go to IFC and crab a pack to try!!
