End of March~ + FOTD

The uploading speed of my internet has been really wonky thus it is really difficult to upload pictures on the blog.

So last week I went to Dionis, a fusion restaurant near my hostel to celebrate my roomie's early birthday bash.

Chicken Briyani Rice which I ordered

I really like the atmosphere of the restaurant, it is really peaceful and quiet.
The environment is dim but doesn't scream dark!

The desserts.
So nicely decorated and tempting. I just got a little sugar rush by looking at this picture.

A random picture in the restaurant. 

Look of the day.

I used the VOV Liquid Foundation, I only used it about 2 to 3 times, I couldn't say anything bad about it yet but at the same time, it doesn't really have the 'wow,you-must-have-it' factor.
It has a great coverage though thus about half a pump is enough for my face since I don't like caking up foundation. Topped it up with Etude House Nymph Aura Volumer and Rimmel Stay Matte powder.

Lips is a peach-orange colour by Innovation in 76. I wore this lipstick a lot during my UK trip. 

Travel Diary : Day 2 in UK : SeaFresh

Day 2 journey in UK ended in a Fish n Chips restaurant near Marble Arch - Seafresh
We asked our tour guide to recommend us a Fish n Chips restaurant and the lovely bus driver recommended us to try out this restaurant.

This is my fish and chips and it was around 13 Pounds.
The portion was really big!
But I am kinda meh on this Fish n' Chips because it was too oily for my taste.

The free ice-cream that came along with the set.

Outside Victoria's tube station

Wicked at Apollo Victoria.
Didn't manage to catch a show there because of the ticket price. I didn't save up enough money.

Gmarket haul #2

I hate Russian EMS. It arrived in Russia on the 18th of February and guess what? I only received my parcel on the 3rd of March!

I usually order my Gmarket to Malaysia which is sent to me the next day my parcel arrives my country from South Korea.

Since I paid a lot of for the shipping, I would say this is lousy service.

Kinda bumped because now I have extra toners since I bought one from The Body Shop because I needed one desperately.

The parcel. Such a huge box for little tiny items.

I ordered a birthday present for my friend too but I won't show it here.

For myself I just ordered very little items.
They are skincare samples from this seller(Link Here). I like getting from this seller eventhough the price is slightly higher because the seller has a variety of items to choose from and the delivery is usually really fast!

I got 3 samples of the items I wanna use/try.

History of Whoo Seol Whitening Skin Balancer

Sulwashoo Snowise Balancing Water

History of Whoo Whitening Intensive and extra freebies!

The bottles of the sample.

The History of Whoo toner comes in a milky-white colour and its consistency is watery.
The fragrance reminds me of calamine solution.

Sulwashoo's Snowise Balancing Water has a more gel-like consistency but still watery. It does have a more herbal scent. Korean skincare are 90% of the time scented, so for those who don't like scents, it might irk you off.

History of Whoo Whitening Intensive.

The cream inside. The cream has a really weird powdery texture and it has a slight herbal scent, hardly noticeable.

Freebies!

The Body Shop : Seaweed Toner (first impression)

I ran out of my Naruko toner and sadly enough, you could not get Naruko over here (I really heart that Naruko toner to death!). And the mail man hasn't send my Gmarket order over, I ordered some toners from there.

Since no toner in the drugstore caught my eye because most of them contain alcohol, I am not a fan of alcohol since it dries the skin out, my bad experience with the L'oreal Pure Zone toner.
So, I went to The Body Shop since I checked on their toner and it is alcohol free.

After checking so many reviews, I picked up the Seaweed range toner.

First Impression, 

It does have a really strong fragrance, It is not choking for me but I think it is for most. 

The texture is not exactly watery, maybe because of the glycerin. I can feel the texture of the glycerin as I apply this toner which is not a bad thing since glycerin locks the moisture in the face.

It cleanses the skin, purifies it. So far,it didn't break me out.

I haven't see any faults on this toner yet.

I have to use it longer to see its full potential.  I will write a longer review when I am almost done with this bottle. 

Travel Diary :Day 2 in UK - Oxford

The next stop is the historical prestigious city of Oxford.

Martyrs' Momument

The Graduation hall

The Harry Potter mark inspiration.

The hall they use to film the hospital scene in Harry Potter.

The inspiration for Nearly Headless Nick

The library

Then we head down the streets of Oxford to buy Oxford shirt and jumpers!

The shop I bought my goodies from.

When you go Oxford, you need an Oxford shirt.
I chose a simple grey one. It is  £4.99.

A pink Oxford jumper. I have a pink jumper already but I couldn't resist a light peachy-pink jumper.
It is  £14.99 (If I am not mistaken)

UK Cosmetics haul : Superdrug edition.

Most brands available in the UK are inaccessible for me , since I was in UK I took the advantage and did a massive high-street haul.

I went to Superdrug about a total of five times when I was there. On the first few days in London, I stayed in Palmer's Lodge at Swiss Cottage and there was a "Superdrug" nearby. I didn't pop into the store till my last day there before I head to Edinburgh.

The other "Superdrugs" I went are the Edinburgh's, Victoria Coach Station's, Birmingham's Bull Ring's and Oxford Street's.
Going to different Superdrugs I manage to pick up items some Superdrug has, some doesn't.

The amount of makeup I bought.

I thought of just inserting this random photo here.
This is my first Superdrug haul in UK. I took this picture in my hostel in Edinburgh.
I wanted to post my first superdrug haul from there but the lighting wasn't good so yea, I waited till today.

The blushers.
Sleek, MUA, Lookbeauty.

I did went crazy with Sleek Blushers. I love Sleek blush. I own one of them (I got it last year via a spree, you  can click here to see it) and I wanted more.

MUA, I heard tons about this brand. VoussantBeauetBelle raved about the mosaic blushers so I knew I had to get them (with backups) and they were so affordable at £2.50
The normal blush is just £1.00.

The Lips.
Accessorize, Collection 2000 and Sleek.

I went to UK only thinking I was gonna pick up the Sleek Pout Paints which is the main lip item i wanted but looks like I went overboard again.
The Collection 2000's Cream Puff reminds me of the NYX Lip Creams.

The Eyes.

I am so excited when I saw there's an offer on Barry M's items. They were on Get 3 for 2. I immediately picked up the highly raved dazzle dust.
The Gel Eyeliner was on offer, I couldn't resist picking up one and moreover so the Black Collection isn't available here, so great get!

The three shades I picked up. All of them neutral shades.

Shade 51 : Mushroom
It is a Shimmery plummy-taupe.

Shade 39 : Tan
Just like its name, it is a peachy-pink tan.

This was in a mess when I opened it.
It was like puking fairy dust, all messy.
Shade 3 : Pink Gold

MUA Baked Eyeshadow Trios in Innocence

Maybelline "Black Collection" Gel Eyeliner in Black-Gold

It is a black with gold flecks.
Extremely gorgeous.

MUA Blusher in Shade 3
It is a peach with burnt orange in it. An absolute perfect colour for spring.
I have regretted not getting all 6 shades since they were only  £1 each

MUA Mosaic Blusher in English Rose
One of the most beautiful things I've seen in the drugstore. I was glad I bought it the first time I went to Swiss Cottage's Superdrug store because the other Superdrug I went, this blush wasn't in stock.

Sleek Blush, probably the best blush in the high-street market.

Pixie Pink

Suede

Life is a Peach

LookBeauty, I haven't heard much about this brand even on the Blogosphere.

What really caught me to this brand is their packaging. It is chic and sweet.

Shade 3 : Pinch

They were  £3 off. Originally they retail at £8.
It is a rose pink with a subtle shimmer. It really gives a feminine flush and glow to the face.

Sleek Pout Paints

Minx and Rosette

I never known Accessorize had a makeup line, I thought it is just an accessory store.
What really could me to the Accessorize counter is their makeup packaging. It is just so pretty and it has the "British" feeling. I just don't know how to explain it in words.

Shade 3 : Besotted

Collection 2000 Lipstick.
I got them because they were on offer and I was searching for a nude lipstick and Natural Collection's Rose Petal were out of stock in the "Boots" I went.

I picked up 13 Satin Bow and 12 Tea Rose

12 Tea Rose

Brown toned nude

13 Satin Bow
Lighter than Tea Rose with more pink-tone

In the pictures they don't look nude but they look nude on my lips.

Three Cream Puffs from Collection 2000
From Left : Fairy Cake, Powder Puff and Cotton Candy

The names are really candilicious!

The last two items I picked up are lipcare items.

I really like Carmex since the day my friend gifted me on from Australia but they are not
 available where I live.
Nivea Lip Butter. The Caramel Cream totally caught me. I love all caramel stuff. Also this lip butter smells delicious.

That all I hauled in the high-streets of UK.
