Review: B&C Hearty Lab Happy Seven Soy Bean Toner

Product Description

The main ingredient in this product is Soy Bean, which contains 7 key effects to create supple skin. This toner is made with natural ingredients so it is easier for your skin to absorb the product and store its moisture.

1) Moisturizing
2) Softening
3) Plumply

4) Bouncy 

5) Smoothing
6) Tanslucency
7) Freshness


Directions

After drying your face, soak a cotton pad with the product and apply it to your face with downward strokes.


Packaging - It comes in a plastic bottle with a white cap like this. It is very easy to get the product out and it does not leak. It is also very hygienic as you won't be directly touching the product inside. 


Scent - It doesn't really have a scent, it just smells like water when you apply it. 

Price - I bought mine at Sasa in Hong Kong. It was in a twin pack that cost around £8, so around £4 each. It was relatively cheap and you get a lot of product.

The main reason why I bought this product is because of its price and it said it uses natural ingredients. To be honest, I did not like this product much as I did not see much effect on my skin and sometimes it breaks me out. It also made me suffer from black/white heads around my nose. I know the black/white heads was caused from this product because after I stopped using it, it started to calm down. 

Would I repurchase this product? 
Definitely a No.

Spring/Summer Daisies



What You'll Need: 

Firstly, apply a base coat to protect your nails and stop your nails turning yellow. This will also make it easier to remove afterwards.



Secondly, apply your chosen colours like so. 

(From Thumb to Pinky)

Right Hand - Blue, White, Blue, Blue, White

Left Hand - White, Blue, Blue, White, Blue


Thirdly, create the daisies using a dotting tool or the end of a bobby pin. All you have to do is draw 5 dots in a circle and fill in the inside if needed. The colour combination is entirely up to you and use whatever that suits you the best!
Right Hand - Daisies on index and middle finger
Left Hand - Daisies on index and ring finger 
Optional - You may also draw some dots in the gaps between the flowers like I did. 


Finally, apply fast drying top coat.
TA-DAH!  You're DONE! Pretty spring/summer daisy nails! 


School Lookbook - Bomber Jacket

Just a casual look I put together awhile ago. This is more suitable for rainy/cooler weathers.

Bomber Jacket - TK Maxx (£26)
Top - H&M (£4) 
Hoodie - Primark (£6)
Jeans - H&M (£15)

Review: Hada Labo Super Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizing Eye Cream

Hada Labo is a popular Japanese skincare brand. They are well know for their use of hyaluronic acid in their products to maximize your skin's hydration. 

One of their best known product is the Hada Labo super hyaluronic acid moisturizing lotion which is also from the same line. Here is my review on that: 


Product Description

  • With 3 types of Hyaluronic Acid to deeply moisturize the delicate skin around the eyes for immediate suppleness & softness.
  • Contains (ACTIFLOW) to visibly lighten dark circles and reduce puffiness.
  • Contains natural Jojoba Oil & extracts to effectively smoothen fine lines and aging skin around the eye area.
  • pH balanced. Low irritation.
  • Free of fragrances, mineral oil, alcohol & colorant.

DOES IT REALLY WORK? Well let's see! 

Directions

Use twice a day (preferably day and night) after toner. Apply adequately amount and using your fourth fingertips, dab lightly under your eyes and gently pat onto skin. With the excess you can draw circles around your eyes to get rid of puffiness. 


Before Blending and After Blending
Here you can see that it is quite watery and very moisturizing. 

I have been using this product everyday for almost 6 months now and there is still some left which means that they do give u quite a lot of product since you don't need that much for every apply. I like this product a lot since it moisturizes my eyes so well, however it doesn't reduce your puffiness as it said it will. There are other products on the market that reduces puffiness better (one of the problem i suffer from). For example the Garnier Caffeine Eye Roll-On or the Simple Kind to eyes Revitalising Eye Roll-On. I have realised that roll-ons tends to work better because of the cooling metal roller ball applicator. 

Scent - This product don't have a scent.

Packaging - Hada Labo uses very simple design for their packaging. It is just a small white plastic bottle with a plump for you to get the products out hygienically. Also with a plump, it is easier to control the amount of product you use. Sometimes you might get too much or too less if its in a tub. I kind of wish they have a cuter packaging since they are an Asian brand however I am not complaining. I think it is good enough. 

Price - I bought mine at Watson in Malaysia when I was on a holiday, it costs around Rm50 which is around £10. I think this is a decent price for an eye product that could lasts you for such a long time. For those who don't live in Asia like myself, you can purchase it from Sasa.com. This is one of the cons for this product because it is rather hard and expensive to purchase outside of Asia. 

Would I repurchase this product? YES! 

PS: my exams finish in a week finally so be ready for more updates! =)
