Missha Time Revolution White Cure Real Expert Serum review

Introducing the Missha Time Revolution White Cure Real Expert Serum...

I have been using this whitening / brightening serum for the past couple of months as part of my summer skincare regime.

It comes in a 40ml glass pump bottle.

I love the pump dispenser as it keeps the product clean and hygienic, no need to dip fingers in any jars or pots.

It smells of very light flowers - after all, it does have 20% white flower extract.
It is very pleasant and doesn't bother me.

One pump to get a slightly larger than pea sized amount is enough to cover the whole face.

Spreading a bit, my hands feels quite cool

It doesn't look it but my hand is much smoother than before, same goes for the skin of my face after I do this :]

The texture is between a gel and cream, and very easy to spread.

After applying, it disappears quickly into the skin and leave a smooth canvas behind - quite similar to the feeling you get after applying a make up primer to your face.

It is very light, and it doesn't feel like I am wearing anything on my face.

I have been using it twice a day, after toning and before moisturizing day and night.

I do see a brightening 'glowy' effect on my face, but this is only after months of using it religiously, and combining with other whitening products like a whitening day cream and night cream.

No it hasn't miraculously made my freckles disappear, but it has faded my pimple / zits scars and lightened some freckles.

So yes, it does do what it claims to do. Hurray...

I will continue using this and once I run out of it I will probably move on to other brightening serums as I like to experiment with face care products haha....

Repurchase? Maybe, after I get bored trying out other whitening / brightening stuff.

Clinique Moisture Surge Extra Refreshing Eye Gel Review

The Clinique Moisture Surge Extra Refreshing Eye Gel is another eye product I tend to use alot of during summer.

Like most eye products, it comes in a standard 15 ml tube.

It is formulated for all skin types.

Glad to say it didn't sting my eyes, gave me any eye allergies or irritate my eyes (when I am wearing contacts lenses)!

A tube like this will last me all summer and maybe halfway into autumn, depending on how often I use it.

I keep a tube of this in my handbag.

I apply and reapply it during the day as it gives my eyes that little refreshed ompf when needed - you know, the kind when you stare at your office screen for too long or when you've been under the sun baking away.

It makes my eyes feel just that but more moisturized as well.
It also fixes any dry spots I get with my under eye concealer during the day.

What I also love about this product is the nib top.

It allows me to dispense the product onto my finger which I like, instead of dipping my grotty fingers into a jar of eye gel.

The tube is very easy to squeeze but you just have to be careful not to squeeze too much product out, as a little goes a long way for this eye gel!

A dot of this eye gel is about how much I use on each eye

The gel has a light fresh smell, not strong at all.

Texture-wise it is smooth and very easy to spread, just like a gel, but a bit creamier.

It does not leave any stickiness behind.

Personally I prefer to use this over my make up than under, because I find my make up runs/peels a little wee bit if I use this gel under.

Overall, this is a good eye gel for the summer and for people on-the-go.

Repurchase? Yes definitely for every summer!

Favourite Summer Fragrance: Dior Addict 2 Eau de Parfum & Victoria Secret Garden Collection - Sheer Love Fragrance Mist

Dior Addict 2 is a sweet floral fragrance with a hint of spicy & mild musky notes.

Immediately after application, the top notes of Grenadine & Freesia come through. The sweet tartness comes from grenadine while the beautiful floral scent comes from the freesia flower.

A few moments after, the base notes of sandalwood & white musk kicks in. The earthly woody, spicy scent from Sandalwood is more dominant, gives the scent more depth & lingers the longest.

Pretty pink packaging with easy to use pump spray

I'm in love with this Dior fragrance !It's both subtle & elegant. As you can see, my bottle is already more than half empty. Haha! 


Sheer Love by Victoria Secret is a sweet floral fragrance with hints of fresh White Cotton & Pink Lily flowers. It also has calming scents of Chamomile & Aloe vera. I absolutely love this mist! I'm completely addicted to this mist. It's sweet & delicate.A spritz of this can lighten up my mood! :)

Also has a pretty pink packaging with and spray pump

Both of these fragrances are similar as they are both sweet, feminine & floral.
However, Victoria Secret Sheer Love is slightly sweeter smelling than Dior Addict 2, but does not last as long. I like to mix both of these together for a more personalized signature scent.

Pretty in Pink!

Both of these scents are too perfect for the summer!

Repurchase? Yes for both! Love to mix these two together for my own unique signature scent!

Holika Holika Jewel Light Waterproof Eyeliner Review (pop of colour!)

Here are some of my current favourite summer go-to colour eyeliners.

Holika Holika is a popular Korean brand.

These eyeliners are very easy to use and glides on smoothly.

Here are some swatches (photo taken under natural day light indoors - no editing)

From left to right: No.8 Pink Topaz
No. 18 Coral Orange
No. 19 Emerald Green

The No.18 Coral Orange and No.19 Emerald Green eyeliners are matte based and have good colour payoff.  They are especially pigmented so one swipe over the lids is enough.  I like to use these as an all over lid shade to give myself a pop of colour which is perfect for the summer. Cheeks and lips remain neutral.

The No.8 Pink Topaz is great as a highlight for the inner corners of the eye and brow bone, or anywhere you want a bit of sparkle. It also have a good colour payoff with a sparkling shimmer finish.

These 3 eyeliners are also long lasting and waterproof, so there is no need to worry about smudging. But in the summer I tend to have oilier lids so I find that I may have to reapply it throughout the day.

The only down side of this product is that it comes in a pencil form that requires sharpening every so often. I find this quite annoying since I am a lazy person. Haha!

Repurchase? Definitely yes - I am keen to try a few more different colours from this range.
