Worth your money bits:
- Revolutionary cream foundation in my opinion because this one doesn’t feel like one AT ALL.
- Contains over 75% moisturising ingredients that nourishes the skin while giving it a translucent, smooth and flawless radiant finish.
- I was never a fan of cream foundation but this one is so unique it almost felt like applying slippery mousse on the face, too easy!
- The texture is surprisingly ‘none of the thick creamy’ at all.
- Star ingredients: Pitera, Oli-vityl, Signaline
- It is also very hygienic with its individual lid smart packaging!
- I find applying this really easy with the sponge. I have also figured you can dab the foundation on your skin and smooth it away with fingers. Took approximately 10 secs for me to put on foundation these days.
- The coverage is pretty sheer and completes with a very natural finish. Remember as with everything a little goes a long way!
- Gives a slightly brighten effect – say goodbye to dull and dark areas of the face.
Prefer it to: Sad to see the swirl patterns looks all messed up once used, but you’ll get over it fairly quickly.
Great for: Those who are looking for sheer coverage within a multi-purpose product.
I am beyond obsessed with this winning foundation. It is on the top of my high-rotation list at the moment. This is definitely one of those foundation you need to try it to know how amazing it is!

This hydrating styling cream, brought to you by the genius creators of the original Moroccanoil Oil Treatment, contains pure Argan oil to condition and hydrate the hair. It’s suitable for all hair types and comes in a no mess pump dispenser. Gotta love the pump!
Eliminating frizz, whilst adding shine and definition, this sweet smelling styling cream provides soft hold and can be used on wet or dry hair. Don’t you just love versatility?
I have to say, having already fallen head over heels for the Moroccanoil Oil Treatment, I was ready to gush about this before it even touched a single strand of hair on my head. It had to be good, right? Well, let me tell you, it is good. It’s a tall, cool drink when your hair is as parched as the desert floor.
After using it for the past few weeks on towel dried hair (one pump is enough for me and my hair falls to just below chest height – I simply use my fingers and run it through from the mid-lengths to the ends) my hair is all kinds of softness now. This is especially the case with my ends, which given the amount of heat damage I subject them to, is no mean feat. It can also be used daily (all you need is a pea sized amount) to help combat frizz and humidity, which is heaven sent on these wintery days fighting wind and rain.
PRO TIP: for thick, unruly hair, mix with a few drops of Mococcanoil Treatment to create a stylish, soft finish.

- The instant lip remover is also really handy when you re-apply bright lipstick without having to carry a lip brush with you to create that perfect lipstick application.
- Cheap as chips!
Great to: Solve all beauty emergencies
Salad that came with the bento boxes
Dinner Bento Box – Doesn’t even come with rice. Basically the same as the seafood bento box except without the soft shell crab and oysters and have teriyaki chicken instead. And wait for it, this one is only a dollar difference with the Seafood bento box. What an absolute rubbish!
Apparently, Yoshi believes that chicken should be priced the same as soft shell crab + oysters. No doubt we won’t be back anytime soon.

- If you loved the Olay Professional Pro-X Starter Protocol Kit, you’ll love the new Professional Pro X Complete Product range which comes with Wrinkle Smoothing Cream, Age Repair Lotion with SPF 15, Hydra Firming Cream, Deep Wrinkle Treatment & Eye Restoration Complex.
- This range can be summed up in 3 words, powerful, proven and professional products.
- All products contain a combination of anti-ageing ingredients such as Niacinamide, Pal-KTTKS, Carnosine, Hexamidine and Pal-KT and Caffeine. All are proven effective anti-ageing ingredients.
Great for: Anti-aging skincare needs.
After trying the entire range, here are my favourites (What? Everyone picks favourites, don’t judge!)
- Hydra Firming Cream – Gel texture, helps to boost elasticity and firmness by plumping and locking in moisture. Never greasy and very lightweight.
- Deep Wrinkle Treatment - Penetrates deep into skin’s surface combating the appearance of wrinkles and intensely hydrating to allow the natural production of collagen. Use it like you would for a serum, after toning and before moisturising the skin.
- Eye Restoration Complex – Designed to help restore the eye area by improving dark circles, puffiness and crow’s feet. Similar to the previous protocol kit with new pump bottle packaging with a stronger formula. Smooths and melts into the eye area very quickly.
Worth your money bits:
- The comb-like wand is a winner for me, it helps to single out lashes during application to prevent clumps. (Very unique wand, not many mascara comes with this!)
- Easy to use, great to reach hard-to-reach areas
- You can use multiple layers of the mascara without drying out the lashes or clumpy.
- Star ingredients: Vitamin B5, Vitamin E, Ginseng Extract
- Never flaking, doesn’t budge throughout the day
- Delivers a very natural lengthening effect without the dry-brittle-awful-looking lashes
Prefer it to: Not contain perfume. It’s got vanilla perfume that smells like vanilla bean. Quite weird for an eye product because I feel like licking it.
Great for: As a daily mascara. If you want natural lengthening lashes.
Note, you will need eye makeup remover to remove this hardcore mascara, warm water won’t cut it.
