Would You Rather Beauty Tag

I got tagged by the lovely Sammy at Sammys Space! to do this tag, and I thought it looked like fun! Right now I have a very purry cat wedged between me and my laptop (why do they always do that?) he's happy, and I'm slightly uncomfortable, but happy too :P

Before I start I also wanted to say how amazing I thought the closing ceremony was! It looked like a massive party, not as spectacular as the opening ceremony of course, but more fun and casual. Plus it had the Spice Girls (mini squeal) and Eric Idle, that's just awesome in my opinion :P

So on with the questions :

1. Would you rather go out with messy hair and nice make-up, or nice hair and no make-up?
If it's a night out then definitely messy hair and nice make-up, my hair tends to just get itself very messy when I start dancing (normally overenthusiastically :P)

2. Would you rather shave your eyebrows or have your eyelashes fall out?
I dislike this question :P Um, if I had to then I'd have my eyelashes fall out, as then they'd grow back and eventually be the same, shaving my eyebrows would just ruin them > . <

3. Would you rather be forced to shop at only MAC or Sephora for the rest of your life?
As there are no Sephora's in England I'm not really sure what they're like, but from what I've heard I'd say shop at Sephora for the rest of my life.

4. Would you rather wear the lipgloss/lipliner look or 80's perm?
8o's perm, without a doubt. I'm thinking Jennifer Grey dirty dancing style, that would be fun :P

5. Would you rather leave the house with an obvious foundation line or overdone blush?
I'd have a squirrel gnaw my face off...but if I was forced then overdone blush, I could claim I was a part time clown for children's parties maybe...

6. Would you rather wear MC Hammer pants or biker shorts in public?
MC Hammer pants! If I had some (and was drunk enough) I'd do that anyway :P

7. Would you rather have a bad orange-y spray tan or really weird tan lines that can't be covered?
Weird tan lines that can't be covered, at least you'd be a normal colour so people would think you'd been on an awesome holiday.

8. Would you rather have a bad haircut or bad hair colour?
Bad haircuts can be adjusted and styled, bad hair colours are just there.

9. Would you rather have blogger or twitter taken away forever?
Seeing as I've forgotten about my twitter for the past few months and haven't noticed, I'd say twitter :P

10. Would you rather give up using makeup brushes or mascara?
Mascara, I could use natural looking falsies, but make up brushes are just necessary.


I tag anyone and everyone who gets the urge to do this (because I'm incredibly lazy and a little bit sleepy).

I like posts with pictures, so here is an unrealted photo of some kittens on my bed.

Laneige Foam Cleanser Moisture Review

I have two weeks of being alone in the house dog sitting starting tomorrow...yay... Luckily for me, Friday saw the start of two weeks of great sporting entertainment, the Olympics. I loved the opening ceremony, the Queen and James Bond bit (I can't believe she actually did that :P), Mr Bean and Chariots of Fire, the Artic Monkeys and Sir Paul McCartney finishing it off. It was really fantastic.

Now moving away from all the fun of the Olympics and onto something a lot more in keeping with the theme of this blog : my Laneige Foam Cleanser Moisture review. So as a few of you will remember I went to South Korea in March and bought a lot of beauty and skincare items, including this Laneige cleanser. Now I'd heard good things about Laneige and their skincare, and this was one of the higher priced items I bought, so needless to say I had high hopes for this product.

As you can see from the squishiness of the tube, I used a fair amount because I reallllly wanted to like this product :(

This cleanser is designed for normal to dry skin types and promises clear and bright skin, other than that the rest of the packaging is written in Korean Hangeul letters. When I visited Korea it was quite cold and still wintry, so my skin was fairly dry with a few blemishes. I used up my Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish (which I love, review here) in Korea, and when I came back I decided to try out this one.

Firstly this product is huge, 180ml, and I only ever used a small blob with warm water. It foams reasonably well on the skin and feels soft. It has a light clean smell and is light pink in colour. Overall a little underwhelming so far. Once it's washed off my face started to feel a little tight, but once moisturised it wasn't a problem, although for a cleanser claiming to be mild it was a little annoying.

I've used this product for a few months now, and for the most part it was a bit useless, it wasn't awful, but my skin stayed in the same condition, blemishes, perhaps a little too dry in some areas, but it seemed a normal cleanser. I was disappointed. However, during exams and especially the last two months I've noticed that this cleanser cannot handle my breakouts. In hot weather my skin becomes more oily (which I know this cleanser is not suited for), but oh my gosh I've had awful skin recently. I carried on using it though, because I didn't think it could be making the problem worse. But after switching cleansers (less than a week ago) my skin has calmed down so much!

Overall I simply do not like this product, when my skin's behaving it's underwhelming (and a bit too drying), but when my skin's being bad (in the heat, stress, bad food, too much drink ect.) it really shows that it's just a bad cleanser. I'm really disappointed because I was looking forwards to trying this out so much and as I usually like foaming cleansers I was really looking forwards to this > . <

I still haven't found the perfect skincare routine, but I'll keep trying!
