OOTD: Thank God for Bibimbap.

I HAVEN'T SEEN RIANNA IN TWO WEEKS HELP.
This is what the holidays  revision does to us. It tears us apart. 

Today we went out to celebrate our friend's birthday and went down to eat at Bibimbap down in Soho. Which btw is a very very cute and cheap restaurant that will fill you up well. Actually most Korean restaurants do, but the fact I had a food baby after half a bowl of bibimbap was surprising.

So here are our outfits for today:

Review: Nesura Nose Pore Strips.

So in my post, a few goodies from cosmetic-love.com arrived. Cosmetic-Love is an online shop with Korean Cosmetics that are inexpensive and are shipped free! I also love how they add cute samples and have loads of free gifts around Christmas time.

For today, I will be reviewing Nesura's Charcoal Nose Strips!

In each pack there are ten individually wrapped strips. Our friend Erin was over at my house today so I let her try them with me.

Out of the wrapper they look like a curvy batman logo or a stick-on moustache.

You then wet the nose strip, carefully. We had to do this step twice because the first time it happened the whole strip decided to disintegrate into nothingness so it was really annoying.

Then stick it onto your nose until it dries out and wash off the excess charcoal bits!

I really really love these nose strips because they are gentle to my skin and really does a good job at taking out my blackheads, leaving me with a lovely, smooth nose.

The downside, it smells of charcoal but you do forget about it because you have to leave it for around 15 minutes whilst it dries up.

For the price and quality that they are, I'll definitely be buying these again!

Thanks for stopping by!

Caramel Rock Adventures: Almost finished...hopefully.

Happy New Year everyone! Whilst you all had a wonderful rest to cure your hangovers and party feet I decided to go into Caramel Rock to finish my prototype of a "dress". The template said dress but the garment ends up being a jacket. I'm just annoyed because the sleeves don't match with the body but that can easily be fixed. Another nuisance was having to tack everything together by hand even though I prefer stitching everything in one go as it is quicker and this is only a prototype.


The fabric is so puuuurrrttyyy! I think a zip would go well with this...if I can't find a zip long enough then I'll use hooks and eyes.
I even got so annoyed I decided to stab the mannequin with pins. I think I should get one in my house to stab ...its a great stress relief.

Thanks for stopping by!
