♡ I love tea

Mauritian Tea

I have not always been a fan of tea. I actually hated tea since childhood. My family usually drank was Chinese tea which I found too strong in taste and smell. After a few years, I learned about the health benefits of tea (just google it), I looked for one that I could drink. After multiple failed purchases, I found one that I really really love because it has a subtle taste and smell - I'm talking about the Chartreuse Thé Vert Classic amincissant et diurétique. I drank almost everyday. But it's a little more pricey that other tea available on the market, so I looked for more and I chose Bois Cheri Thé Vert Au Jasmin, I admit that I had a hard time adjusting to this taste because it is so different and had a stronger taste but over time, I grew to like it . As for the third one, I came across it during cny at the hotel, they were serving it for breakfast and I loved it. It is called the Corson Golden Pekoe. I love it a lot. 

My top 3 picks in order of preference:

1. Chartreuse Thé Vert Classic amincissant et diurétique

2. Corson Golden Pekoe

3. Bois Cheri Thé Vert Au Jasmin

I recommend the first one to any tea newbie because it is very subtle, everybody will like it or atleast will be okay drinking it. 

Oh yeah, I hate spicy tea or flavoured tea or like chamomile or citronella and all stuff like that. Can't get used to these. I bought one tea from Forever Living products which I absolutely hated it, the smell was horrible.

♡ YSL Rouge Volupte in No. 7 Rose Lingerie

There's a little mirror on the top - very practical.

Swatching the No. 7  Rose Lingerie

Don't you freaking love the packaging?

I have been longing for one of these YSL Rouge Volupte Lipsticks forever since I saw so many beautiful pictures of it on Tumblr, Youtube etc. So I did wanted to buy one for myself but I hesitated because of the price, this is definitely the most expensive lipstick I own. Thanks to the lovely bf. Hi honey:) Yes, do I like it? I am in love with the packaging, it feels sturdy, expensive, and is so amazingly beautiful. My pictures don't make it any justice. 

Except for the packaging, I have to say that I was disappointed with the texture and the quality of the lipstick. People are saying that these are a dream to put on, that they love the texture and stuff but I absolutely hate the texture of it. When I apply it on my lipstick, the texture is gritty, it feels really weird. I would compare the texture to a chapstick but softer. Plus, the lipstick doesn't go back down when you swivel the tube! WTF right? I actually felt it was a fake stuff, the quality feels like the fake stuff that you buy on ebay but it's not fake, it's the real thing. Sadly the real thing is just disappointing for me. Do you have the same problem? 

As for colour, the No. 7 is a light mauve-pink colour which I love. It is very pigmented and has a slight sheen to it. But I feel that it is not super consistent in colour, so I always have to dab it in. Whenever I wear this lipstick, I feel so 'precious'. Haha It is such a beautiful colour. I could be slightly biased because it's a high-end lipstick but whatever, it is really pretty. If I wear this one out, I would just dot a little on the upper and lower lips, and blend it in. Then I get perfection. As for long-lastingness, I would compare it to Rimmel or Revlon lipsticks. 

Do I recommend this?

It's hard to answer this. I do love the colour and the packaging but I hate the texture. I absolutely hate the texture. Gritty and super soft texture AND it does not go back down the tube. As much as I want to say "Yes, I recommend it", I can't because at the end of the day, this is a lipstick but it is just not worth money atleast for me. I like it as a luxury item plus it's bf's gift but not as a lipstick. haha

♡ Etude House AC Clinic Daily Acne Foam Cleanser

Etude House AC Clinic Daily Acne Foam Cleanser

"Etude House AC Clinic ACNE Foam Cleanser: Formulated with Salicylic Acid, Triclosan and Sandalwood Oil, Acne Foam Cleanser removes acne causing germs to keep your skin clean all day. Ideal for use as a makeup removal cleanser." 

Months ago I was looking for a foamy cleanser with no little exfoliating stuff inside and I found this one on cosmetic-love.com. It retails for $13.29 for a 150ml tube which isn't too bad considering that it is REALLY foamy. The smell put me off the first few times I tried it but you get used to that medical-ish smell. It is basically a white thick smooth cream that foams with water. A little goes a long way. I used it with my clarisonic and I find it a little too drying because of the salicylic acid, so I used it only once a day. I can't say whether it is effective for acne but definitely did not aggravate mine. My face felt clean with this one. 

I like this cleanser a lot, I would not say I like it as much as Forever Living Aloe Vera cleanser but definitely one I will consider buying again if I'm out of cleanser again. 

Do I recommend it?

Yes if you like foamy cleanser with salicylic acid and don't mind the smell.

♡ Chocolate Mousse

Ingredients

4 large eggs

200 g chocolate

Instructions

1. Melt the chocolate and allow to cool.

2. Separate the eggs white from the yolk. Beat the whites until they are fluffy.

3. Whisk the yolks and chocolate.

4. Fold the eggs whites in the mixture.

5. Put in cute little containers and refrigerate for 2-3 hours.

This is a really easy recipe. My brother saw a recipe like that on tv and I was doubtful about it because the eggs are raw. Anyway, we tried. By we, I mean "I" did all the work. If you attempt this recipe, make sure the chocolate is cool before you start beating the whites because they will turn into a weird texture.

And yeah, you'll know the whites are done if nothing falls down if you turn your bowl upside down.

♡ Small Lookfantastic Haul + Review

I discovered this amazing website last December and I was sooo freaking excited because they sell the Naked 2 palette plus they offer free shipping worldwide. So, I seized this opportunity to get the holy grail of all palettes and a primer as well because I've never used one, so I thought I would give this one a try. I will reviewing these soon. I don't know if I should review the Naked 2 palette because there are so much online but whatever, we'll see right?:)

Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette £36.00

Murad Skin Perfecting Primer Acne And Shine Control (30ml) £19.99

Oh yeah, the website is lookfantastic.com. They sell a lot of brands that I'm longing to try like Nars, Benefit, etc but there are still country restrictions on these. 

I do recommend this website. Free worldwide shipping. Ships to Mauritius. 

Good shopping!
