This picture really hits the spot for me 😍 just imagine these on your eyes! I’m a huge fan of hydrogels and religiously wear them day in day out - they refresh my under eyes and give the area a great moisture boost 💦 . . 👀 This was a total steal for me in Spanish supermarket Mercadona - under €5 for 30 days’ worth of hydrogels is definitely a bargain. I don’t know how they produce so cheaply though and it kind of makes me not trust them...but I’ll try anything once I guess! . . 🏦 One of the problems of beauty blogging is that you can’t really do it if you’ve got no money - which I’m fast finding is one of my problems. I want to try and review so many things but my budget just doesn’t allow for it any more. So when I can find bargains I will snap them up - even if they’re not the most Instagrammable looking item and I’m falling behind on the trends. These hydrogels did their job and I’m more than happy with them. Not huge but not too thick and slippy, with decent essence too, albeit not the best smelling. Still, not offensive and definitely worth the money! . How about you? How do you feel about Instagram and your budget? Does it affect your posting and testing? . . #hydrogel #hydrogelpatches #hydrogeleyepatch #spanishbeauty #kbeauty #koreanskincare #eyemasks #budgetbeauty #budgetskincare #beautytips #skincareblogger #rasianbeauty #abbeatthealgorithm #abcommunity

There’s something oddly satisfying about squeezy tubes 😍 #texturetuesday . . I confess that sleeping packs were truly one of those things I didn’t understand. I felt they were just a money grabbing scheme out to make me spend more on my routine - that is, until I found the right one. The right few, really, but the moment sleeping packs started working for me, the moment my routine really changed. . . I honestly never really realised that my redness was due to dehydration until I started to use adequate hydration and occlusive products to last me not just through the day, but through the night too. Making sure my skin is adequately prepared and boosted overnight was a game changer for me and now my clearer complexion is laughing in the face of my distrusting self - especially when it comes to amazing overnight packs like this @manyofactory_official Miracle Pack.* . . Ok, it won’t turn water into wine. But it does turn my skin from resembling a tomato into a shade more resonant with candy floss. I’ll never have perfectly clear skin but I can go for the pinkish look over bright red and looking embarrassed even when I’m not. This light but exceptionally hydrating sleeping mask packs the moisture in overnight and makes my skin appear healthy and glowing, with a radiance to it which is only achieved through adequate hydration for me. It’s in no way clogging and slides on beautifully, as you can imagine from this #textureshot. It’s inbetween a gel and a cream and is just perfect for me, feeding my skin not only with hydration with nutrients too. It even smells delicious, like slightly fermented citrus - tangy and appealing despite the odd scent at first. . . I would definitely use this again as a summer overnight mask and am tempted to try it over winter to see how well it works when my skin goes to dry and flaky in addition to being dehydrated! . . What’s your favourite sleeping pack?

🧡 Yesterday’s skincare and makeup! I had a really fantastic skin day yesterday - I had the healthy glow which comes from my skin being plumped and hydrated enough. I’m even more impressed that these days I can achieve this kind of skin without moisturiser and with very few products at all. I have to say, my routine right now is doing wonders for my skin and my confidence! . . I’m also loving the @marcbeauty Genius Gel for its gorgeous finish and how lightweight it is on my skin. I barely feel like I’m wearing anything. Would definitely repurchase for a medium coverage summer foundation. . .

🧡 The world is going crazy over Kbeauty and Jbeauty, but it seems that more and more brands from other Asian countries are now getting exposure and branching out worldwide, which is fantastic. The more the merrier! . . One such brand expanding outwards is @skindewi, who recently contacted me to ask if I would be interested in reviewing some of their products. I entered into a discussion with the founder and the more I learned about the brand and their philosophy, the more I liked them. The owner took the time to speak with me about products and ingredients which would be suited for my skin type, and about the specific ranges #SkinDewi offer. I could tell a lot of love had gone into these products. . . They use natural, organic ingredients in their formulations, and the founder firmly believes in providing gentle but effective solutions to achieve healthy skin. Take the Calendula Soothing Gel, for example. When I first read about it, I wasn’t sure it would be ideal for me, as the description said it would be good for those with oily, acne-prone skin. However, I also saw that the product can be used for those who have dry, irritated skin, to add extra moisture and to soothe. . . The formula contains chamomile, nourishing oats, and calendula, of course. These ingredients are known for their soothing power, and I’ve found that this light emulsion-type gel really sinks into my skin and provides it with a moisturise boost, which is what I generally look for in a serum/gel step. I do think this might be best suited for oilier types but I enjoyed it all the same, and it’s been a great addition to my routine in the summer months when my skin tends to be redder and more prone to irritation than in winter. I also have to mention the scent of this product - all natural, not added, but amazing all the same. I can’t think of the adjective I want, but it just smells so fresh, so healthy, and so calming. Like a field of fresh herbs 😂. . . Have you tried anything by @skindewi yet? What do you think of their formulations? . . #rasianbeauty #indonesianskincare #skincareaddict #skincarelover #abcommunity #beautycommunity #naturalskincare #organicskincare #dryskin #dehydrated

🧡 Um, I don’t know if I’ve ever told you guys but I’m a bit obsessed with Hada Labo... . . I jest, of course. Anyone who has followed me since day one knows I’m absolutely obsessed with the Hada Labo Gokujyun Lotion and the day I first tried the Premium Lotion, my head went into deep space orbit. . . The Gokujyun is popular and with good reason. If your skin loves HA there’s a good chance you’ll get on with it. It’s highly moisturising, lasts ages, and above all, is super-affordable, meaning it’s easy to include in your routine without breaking the bank. . . What’s the difference with Premium though? The Premium boasts HA too, but with 5 different molecular weights, meaning hella penetration (🍆 not a secks thing) and better water retention as a result. This right here is the Premium Emulsion, and I’m equally in love with the stuff. I swear no product has given me such a glow as this one does. Sure, I normally have healthy skin, but this stuff takes it to the next level. Plump, and thanks to the hydration, clear and less redness. My skin retains the moisture day long and I feel fresh as a daisy whatever the weather. It’s honestly a game changer for me and I will happily buy this product again and again. . . Have you tried the Premium Lotion? How did it work for you? Are you convinced? . . #rasianbeauty #hadalabo #hadalabojapan #hadalabopremiumlotion #hadalabogokujyun #hadalabogokujyunpremium #japanesebeauty #japanesebeautyproducts #hyaluronicacid #jbeauty #japaneseskincare

👌 It’s no secret that I’m a huge fan of cleansers - and here are three of my current faves. . . 💦 A great cleanser can totally change your routine and make your skin go from average to next level - at least, that’s my experience. Before I started properly cleansing and using cleansers that worked for my skin, I was more breakout prone and my skin did not look as clear and bright as it often does nowadays. Proper cleansing is the perfect base to your skincare routine and should be the foundation the rest of your products start to build on. . . ❤️ I love the @skindewi Raspberry Cleansing Milk, sent to me by the brand, which is my first ever milk cleanser and I am definitely impressed by. A cleanser has never felt so smooth and gentle. This cleanser is said to work well on dry skin and it has not once made my skin feel tight or patched - the sign of a harsh cleanser. It contains a balance of oils which cleanse the pores and the skin without stripping the skin’s natural barrier. . . 👏 Next up is @abybom__cosmetics Watery Eosongcho Cleansing Balm, which is one of the best balms I’ve tried. The tub is absolutely MASSIVE and lasts forever, and this balm truly melts down makeup to nothing, proving effective but gentle and an absolute bargain while it’s at it. It’s now on sale at @bemusedkorea for just over their free shipping rate of $30 👌 I’ll be placing in an order for their new foam cleanser soon!* . . 🌱 Lastly we have the amazing @kravebeauty Matcha Hemp Hydrating Cleanser, which I am almost through with and couldn’t be sadder. It feels almost like jam, making a very light slippery lather which doesn’t strip and feels gentle on the skin. It works fantastically and you only need a small amount to cleanse away the dirt of the day. I will forever repurchase this 😍 . . *gifted by @bemusedkorea . #rasianbeauty #rasianskincare #krave #kravebeauty #pressreset #kbeauty #skindewi #abybom #cleanser #cleansing #doublecleanse #doublecleansing #skincarereview #asianbeauty #indonesianskincare
