Updated Skincare Routine

Hi Guys!

I hope everyone is having a wonderful day wherever you are :) It's starting to get pretty hot here on the Gold Coast at the moment…

I filmed an updated skincare routine last night which is available to watch on my YouTube channel HERE if you would like to check that out. Don't forget to like and subscribe!! I'm trying to post a minimum of 1 video a week which is going well at the moment.

It is exam time at uni so things have been pretty hectic lately. I'm looking forward to December when i finish for the year, and then only one semester before i graduate!! yaayy!!! haha.

Time to get ready for class, let me know what you think of the video and I'd love to hear about your favourite skincare products!!

Japan haul 1!!

Hi guys!

Ok so I know its been FOREVER since I did a post :( im so sorry. I took on a very heavy load of subjects last semester and things were just crazy busy. But I'm on holidays now so I have plenty of time to catch up :) After my 3 weeks of exams I went back to Japan for the 4th time to visit my friends/host family. In particular I went to see Wakako! I think I have explained before but Wakako was my host family for only 3 days in Japan but we caught up on weekends and we've stayed in touch for almost 4 years now. 

I think I might post some random pics of the trip in another post, but today I have my first Japan haul to show u :D I'm not sure how many posts it will take to show everything but I'm hoping only 2 lol.

Just before I show everything, let me say, when I go to Japan I go to see friends etc but also to stock up on Japanese things me and my bf can't get in Australia. My bf is Japanese and we both really love the quality of Japanese products and theres some things you just cant get here. So i don't shop for this much stuff all the time lol.

These I got from Tokyo Disneyland, I got a plastic folder for uni, a hair band to keep hair off your face, an Alice in Wonderland tin (it came with sweets inside but I really just wanted the tin lol), and the daisy duck egg thing was a gift from the girls I went with :)

Pore strips, Pore's Care which if you put on before the pore strips gets so much more out (I bought 2 packs lol), thanks for the tip Wakako!!, and a Rikkuma chap stick which I just thought was so cute >.<

Blotting Paper, 3 sets of eyelashes, lash glue and Nanoce BB cream (recommended by Wakako, she was so helpful with what brands etc to buy <3)

Hair wax (for my bf and his brother), 4 packs of eye drops (Japanese eye drops are awesome... I love the "Cool" or "mint" ones), and Gatsubi refreshing face wipes for my bf.

I finally got to get some more FANCL!! Its my all time favorite make up remover, it is a little pricey but its so worth it. Also, I got a new camera case cos mine was kinda old and not very cute :P

The latest ViVi magazine, cooling gel strips (for when u have a head ache or fever), Rikkuma gel sticky things (I put them in my bathroom hehe)

Cotton face masks. I ended up getting like another 3 or 4 packs of these, they're so expensive in Australia and in Japan they make them really well and its only like $4 or something for 5 sheets!!

Well, that's all for now, I'll be back soon with lots more products!

Thanks for reading :)

Daily Skin Routine

So I just wanted to make a post on the products I use in my everyday skin routine. These products really work for me, I use them everyday twice a day. My skin definably isn't perfect but I have always taken care of it and have never had any major issues with skin/acne.

These are the products I'm using at the moment.

Sorry the container is a bit old, its almost empty haha. I wash my face morning and night with this, Biore pore unclogging scrub - oil free. My skin can be quite oily in summer so I like to use a daily scrub.

I also like to use this Body Shop face brush with the face wash for a deeper clean.

For moisturizer I apply Garnier's Youthful Radiance Day Moisturizer. I like this one because it's a gel consistency rather than a cream, which is ideal for oily skin. It doesn't feel too heavy. 

Lastly, for daytime I use this Garnier Roll on which is the green one. This one helps with dark circles and bags under the eyes and I absolutely love it! It firms and makes me feel more awake :) for night time I use the red one, which is the ante-ageing roll on.Prevention is key, if you don't care for your skin you'll regret it one day :P

So thats it for my daily skin care routine. This is simply my opinion and I find these work well for me but remember that all skin is different.

Thanks for reading!
