Review

This is the unboxing of my first Memebox! If you are not familiar, Memebox is a Korean skincare and cosmetics subscription service. It's not reoccurring so you have to order the Memebox of your choice whenever it comes out. I have been watching all of the Memebox unboxing videos by Coffee Break with Dani on Youtube for the past few months and finally decided to bite the bullet. The Luckybox is a compilation of all the best products from previous Memeboxes.

Leaders Insolution Mask Sheet - BIO Medi-curing Mask - Aqua Dressing: I have not yet used this face mask so if you would like a review once I do, please let me know!

Miguhara B.P. Cream: Apparently this acts as a B.B. Cream as well as a primer. However, I have acne and acne scars so using it alone as a B.B. Cream does not work for me. I do not see it covering my blemishes at all. So I can only use it as a primer. I haven't used it more than once so I cannot give a proper review for it as of yet.

Dr.G BIO-RTx Mentor Cream - Bio-RTx Mentor Cream 7: I have been using this cream every night after cleansing and toning. It's thick so it's more suited for the night time. My version is for damaged skin, which works well for me because I do have troubled skin. It helps improve skin that is easily irritated and makes it less red. It also help fixes collapsed skin barriers. I would have to finish the entire container to see if it vastly improve my skin condition.

LJH Tea Tree 90 Essence: I like this product because it is fun to use with the dropper. However, I have been breaking out more recently so I'm unsure if this oil is the cause or another product from the box. I use this at night after I cleanse and tone. Then I apply the Bio-RTx afterwards. It's supposed to help with trouble skin by subduing acne and healing the skin. It also supposed to brighten the skin up afterwards.

Tonymoly Delight Tony Tint #2 Red: When I apply this lip tint, it immediately cools on my lips. However, I have yet to master the fading technique that Korean girls sport with their lip tints. I can tell you for sure though that it sets really quickly and is difficult to remove. So if you are looking for a product that doesn't budge, you should look into this lip tint.

Dear by Enprani Bounce Cheese Cream: This is a fun moisturizer I apply every morning after cleansing and toning. When you touch the cream and lift your finger, the effect is similar to cheese because it stretches out like a sticky substance. It has a light scent which I really like and the cream is lightweight as well.

Dr. Jart V7 Eye Serum: I am so glad to own my very first eye cream! This is a full size product. I have been applying this on every night after I'm done my night regimen. I hope that the effects will be beneficial in the long run.

O& Soap Berry Bubble Cleanser: I have not yet used this product either because I want to finish up all my current cleansers before opening a new one. If you would like a future review, please let me know!

Overall, I am super satisfied and love the products! For only $23, I think it's an amazing deal. I have ordered three more Memeboxes so I can't wait for those to arrive! If you would like an in-depth interview for any of the products, please comment below!

Three Summer Looks

This week I posted my first blog post with Boutique Onze ~ http://onzeblog.com/fashion/summer-looks-in-old-port/ . If you're interested, feel free to read it.

For this photo shoot, my friend and I decided to do three different summer looks. Tell me which one is your favourite :)!

A Rainy Day in the Market

Hello again~

I decided to post another set of photos since I have time now (I just finished up my final exam). So these photos were taken a couple weeks back. In the first set of photos, my friend and I decided to head to the Jean Talon market. Unfortunately because of the rain and cold, we were unable to take a good number of photos. We still had a good time nevertheless. If you ever visit Montreal, I really recommend stopping by the market to grab a bite or to explore. There's a lot of great food there (apart from just flowers)!

The second look was done in St-Hubert Plaza (by the boutique onze store). We intended to showcase this look for the 'look du jour' but unfortunately it did not work out since I the tag was showing in the photo. But I found the look to be especially nice since it suited her style really well :) 

Thanks for reading!

Garden Party Dresses

Hey everybody :). I am back as well after the 3 year hiatus. Hopefully both of us will start posting more. I am looking forward to revamping the blog to make it more up-to-date.

Quick life update: I'm in University and I live in Montreal! Through living here, I feel like my fashion influences now come a lot from the city. It is a very fashion forward place (in comparison to other places in Canada) and I feel like everybody dresses so well here. I feel very lucky to be here and if you ever have any questions about the city (like where to visit), feel free to ask!

 Lately, I've been working for a boutique called Onze Shop (http://www.onzeshop.com/) which is a Montreal boutique and an online store. I've been helping them out with their blogging and social media. For today's post I wanted to show you some of the photography and styling I've been doing. (I will post the links to all the dresses at the bottom!)

Unfortunately (as you can tell), the two top dresses were too big for her so the photos didn't work out. But I was very happy with how things turned out since it had been a couple of years since I did photography. 

À la prochain,

Review: imPress Manicure

Hello world! Long time no post. It's been about three years since my last post. I am back on here today to do a product review for imPress Manicure that I have received from Influenster. This is my very first VoxBox so when I received it, I was super excited! I received two press-on manicures:

Just Say Yes

Holla!

I never had a manicure before so this was something new for me. I decided to try out Just Say Yes because I didn't want to butcher Holla! just in case, since it's my favourite out of the two.

Each "nail polish bottle" comes with 24 press-ons. You pick out the nail pieces that fit your nails. Then, you simply peel off the back sticker and press them onto your nails. I'm not really sure why it came with a mini filer since it never mentioned it in the instructions, but I didn't end up using it.

Pros:

• Perfectly painted nails, great for those who suck at painting their own nails
• An assortment of fun designs from imPress which you won't be able to replicate easily (unless you are a nail genius)
• No need to wait for drying!

Cons:

• The painstakingly long time to find the right fit; I think I took at least 15 minutes...
• The difficulty to remove some of the stickers at the back 
• The possibly of picking out a nail piece that might not completely match the other side
• If dirt or something is stuck under the nail, it is hard to remove it
• Only 24 pieces?? Therefore, you would could only possibly use one bottle twice since you only have 10 fingers and at most use 20 pieces. How wasteful...

My Final Verdict

I think the process of me finding the right nail pieces put me off from purchasing these in the future. They are definitely fun and cute, but it's a bit tiring to get them on. If they numbered the nail pieces (like matching ones so you will have both sides matching), maybe I wouldn't mind as much. I think I butchered the pinkies since one is bigger than the other.

They are supposed to last for two weeks but I won't know if they will until then. However, they may fall out faster since I work at a car assembly plant part time and they might get ruined...
