Beauty Carousel Review

I was thinking of getting back up for my Cure Natural Aqua gel (which I will incorporate in a YT giveaway soon).
So I made an order with beauty Carousel. I purchased 4 items in total and it was free postage because it was over the requirement amount of 89SPD.
And I was really surprised with the postage. It basically came the day after, and the items were from Singapore. Wow.
They used FedEx delivery service, which meant I could keep track of my order.
Also the packaging is phenomenal, everything came in 4-5 layers of bubble wrap (reminds me of a Chinese baby in winter time).
Also they gave me about 10 sample Cure aqua gels, so I can pass on the goodness to more people.

So if anyone is interested in Cure natural aqua gel or K-pallet 1 day tattoo eyeliner, definitely check out Beauty Carousel!

Disclaimer: this post was not sponsored and everything I purchased from Beauty Carousel is with my own money. And this is my honest opinion.

Recent Skin finds

In the past month I have been looking for a hydrating facial cream for night time, because I felt my Olay total effects isn't pulling its weight.

I found Innoxa thirsty skin for dry & flaky skin. Knowing me, my skin is no where near dry, its even oily in winter. But to my surprise this product worked really well for a night cream, it doesn't feel oily or heavy, and it really hydrates the skin at night. This is exactly what i wanted, and best of all it didn't break me out.
I recommend this for all skin types (use in autumn/winter nights for oily skin).
And along with this cream, I found a skin clear mask. This mask didn't make the cut for me, I guess is really average. This is because, I love natural home remedy masks, which at times works better then commercial products. So I will be using this mask, but wont be repurchasing.
Nail polishes I have really been enjoying are Sally Hansen hard as nails xtreme wear. I have wet cement, crushed and bamboo shoot. This range of nail polish is really long wearing, the picture is after a 6 days of applications and there is barely any chips. Only two coats is needed and when it drys and sets, there is really no budge. Two coats works the best because the first coat is still quite shire and anything more then two coats is a waste of time.
Another mask I tried is the Formula 10.0.6 deep down detox mask. I was interested because alot of gurus were raving about it. Its not a bad mask, but I only see my self using it when I'm just home from room full of cigarette smoke. And its kinda a piece of mind thing.
All I can say is it smells nice and it gives me the feeling that the bad stuff taken out (hate cigarette smoke), but i dont notice it actually doing anything except for sit on my skin and giving it a minty sensation (maybe that's a sign of performance).
I think is best to use a home remedy mask for detox, ie blueberry or strawberry mask crushed and mixed with natural yogurt.


Some products that I purchased recently but have not tried yet.


(Organic essence age-defying firming face cream)
I was looking for a anti-aging cream for my neck and chest area, there is a technical word but cant pull it out of my head.
Some women take really good care of their face, but the part that tells their age is their neck and chest. So prevention is key, that's why I'm using this product. Today is the first day using it, all i can say its really light weight and liking it so far.

And i know what your thinking, more make up??? Well yes.
I swatched them in store and the pigmentation was great, no wonder they call it HD. If you ever get the chance, go to Priceline and swatch it, you will be amazed, and for the price is practically a steal.
Just received my urban decay pallet. Did a little swatch, not amazed yet. I'm thinking of doing a bridal tutorial this week from this pallet, think that will work out well. See how I go.

On a lighter note, YY hates showers...

A side note, I will be doing a giveaway when i reach 100 subs on YT. The prizes will include the Cure natural aqua gel that I reviewed recently and other things that I can think of. So subscribe for a chance to win @

Miracle finds



First up has to be Cure Natural Aqua gel. some one you may wonder what is this miracle product I claim it to be. Well, is the BEST exfoliate for the skin, it only takes away the dead skin cells, leaving baby soft skin.
Best of all, its super easy to use. Pump about 2 pumps on your hands and start rubbing your face gentling with the product. After about 30sec-1 min you will feel "white" stuff rubbing off the surface of the skin. Rub all over face until all of the dead skin cells are off, then wash and moisturize as normal.
The white stuff that get rubbed off are your dead skin, and there are a lot of it (i was surprised). First I doubt it, thinking how cant I possibly have soo much dead skin (because i exfoliate daily with an cleanser) then James tried it and it did the same thing. After the second use I was really convinced because the pores on my nose that was blocked up before by rough skin, is now visible and resurfaced again. I really love this product, i feel it can replace all my fancy facial brushes or exfoliates.
I use this once a week (recommended on the description as twice) because I dont want to exfoliate too frequently. Over exfoliating can make your skin oilier.
I think everyone should get one, because honestly its the best product I have ever used (I'm not affiliated with this product so this is my honest opinion). I purchased mine form ebay, they are also available at www.beautycarousel.com and the price is about $49 (shipping included).
The second product is not really special, except for the fact i really like the colour. This physicians formula talc free mineral blush in "blushing glow" is the perfect natural shade of blush. I have been wearing it everyday, it gives a subtle summery glow, and it has a HD effect when applied on. There is no shimmer, but the color still makes the cheeks pop.

I'm currently looking at urban decay naked pallet, really wanna get my hands on one.

And as many of you know, i have started a youtube channel where i do make-up looks. Please show your support by visiting, liking and subbing.
