Hangbag Favourites

What should a girl always have with her?

Below are some of my suggestions...

Maybelline Baby Lips
No one likes the feeling of chapped and flaky lips. This little thing will keep the lips soft and nourished. My trusty friend.

Jurlique Jasmine Hand Cream
I am currently using this hand cream and this smells so yummy like my tea. Jurlique creates great quality hand creams that is made to last and protects the hands from dryness.

Britney Spears Curious Perfume

I have always loved this fragrance and the team behind this fragrance is Elizabeth Arden so trust it's soft, floral and feminine. This is Britney's first perfume.

Skincare : My Favourite Natio Products Part 1

I have used Natio for a little while now.

But before then, I was struggling to find a skincare that didn't strip my skin but was still treating and caring for my stressed skin.

So here goes...some of my favourite Natio products so far (btw they are really affordable, big on quality and low on price!)

1

1.
This night moisturiser/treatment is light but at the same time still hydrating. This is my night cream by choice in summer. And it helps it keep my adult blemishes less than what it could be.

2.
Toners are an important part of the skincare routine because your cleanser doesn't always wash away all the dirt, oil and makeup off (depending on what you did for the day and the environments you were in). But many toners on the market are quite harsh but Natio's Rosewater and Chamomile is a gentle toner and smells so lovely and does the job.

3.
This day moisturiser is very light and is my choice for the summer. The negative about this moisturiser is that there is no SPF. It gives my skin hydration.

I believe finding the right cleanser for your skin can really change the condition of your skin.
I love this gentle cleanser. It cleans well and I love how it foams up, giving me an even better impression that my skin is getting cleaned up right now.

A great alternative to foundation is BB Cream. It's lighter, doesn't clog the pores, calms the skin down and has SPF. See my previous post on BB Cream here.

Come back next week for Part 2!

Recap : The Face Australia Episode 1

The ever successful Australia's Next Top Model has some serious competition and that is Naomi Campbell. Having already established the US and UK franchise, Naomi is here to discover the next international supermodel.


On first glance, ANTM has newbies and girls that lack experience, whereas The Face has experienced girls and girls that have careers (some even international including the Big Apple).

The host, George (famous photographer whom I've never heard of), the girls first meet in a transformed Carriageworks. Throughout the weeks, the girls will be mentored by Nicole Trunfio, Cheyenne Tozzi and Naomi Campbell.

If the girls are lucky to be chosen, they have to pick their mentor. Then they fight it out to be the last one remaining.

Vogue Cover : Kim and Kayne

US Vogue, Kim and Kayne, April 2014

Anna Wintour, 'the Devil' from the New York best-selling book turned high ranking movie 'The Devil Wears Prada' had previously said people like Kim and Kayne would never get the honour of being on the cover of US Vogue.

Obviously, she's changed her mind since. The April issue is out soon and in the interview Kayne is a 'creative polyglot' and Kim is a 'cultural phenomenon'.

Check out some of the photos below from the photoshoot.

Flying High, Kim, Kayne, North

Product Review : True Glow Cleansing Brush by Conair

Product Review : True Glow Cleansing Brush by Conair

If you ever feel like your skin is never clean enough from your normal cleansing routine and you are using up a lot of your toner then this brush promises to literally shake dirt and makeup from your pores without irritating your skin.

My normal cleansing routine is using a gentle foaming cleanser from Natio and lathering it on my face with water.

My skin is generally sensitive due to weather changes and generally from the environment so I chose to test drive product in place of my normal second cleanse.

This second cleanse is the most important because after a normal day, I have makeup, oil and dirt in my pores and I know the Pimple Devil is knocking on my door. Thus, a deeper and more thorough clean is required.

To use the brush and a damp face, place some of your normal cleanser on your face and a little bit of the cleanser on the brush head. I start the brush on low (recommended so you don't give yourself a shock) and then it automatically moves from medium to high then back to low.

I find the routine is a bit long for my face but for my body not long enough. Maybe, my face is too small...

Overall, a great product which I would use once a day.

Do you have a sonic brush? If so, which one?
