Cannot believe that we’ve already reached the fifty post milestone on the blog.

It's been a great first year for the blog, though we're not even one years old yet! We've got over 200 followers on Instagram and have just started up our pinterest board. Find us below for the latest photos, mini reviews and inspiration boards!

Apples, Eggs & Snails? It’s not Breakfast it’s my November Empties Review!

Apples, Eggs & Snails? It’s not Breakfast it’s my November Empties Review!

So it’s been a few months since my last review in August (read here), and I’ve been steadily powering my way through my products! It’s a real mix of the good, the bad and the meh so read on ahead to find out which is which.

Also a note on the online store prices, these are correct as of publication.
Jolse includes shipping in their prices which other online stores may not.

As always YMMV and patch test everything!

[My Little Box] September Box - My Little Fashion Box

At the same time, I had subscribed to Birchbox, my subscription virginity was actually lost to My Little Box. To be honest, it was the cute drawings on the boxes that drew me in. It was an additional birthday gift to myself and if you use the code FIRSTBOX, the price is £10 including shipping (usual price is £13.95 including shipping).

My Little Box is originates from Paris and now ships all over the world, delivering fashion, beauty and lifestyle items to your door.

Spot Treatment/Prevention Masterpost - Sophie

Combating Spots!

I, as most of you out there, unfortunately do not have perfect air brushed skin. Sadly I do suffer from spots, blackheads, whiteheads, closed comedones, demons from hell, however you like to name them they are a fact of life. So in this blog I’d like to go through the different tips and products that are out there to help!

*Disclaimer I am not a dermatologist so cannot help with your specific issues. All of the below are from my own experiences and reading.

All my favourite spot warriors!

EOpenMarket - Lucky Box AKA Sample Heaven

EOpenMarket – Lucky Box!

One of my favourite things to do is to try new things. Whether it be the latest new staple ingredient, or some cute new hand cream I am addicted. Luckily for my wallet Asian Beauty brands are fantastic at providing samples of their products. And these are also great for overnight stays or trying to meet the stringent air codes.

Now one of the more difficult life decisions to make is what to invest in. And more importantly what skin care to invest in :P You can spend weeks on the internet reading all the reviews and still be none the wiser. And then I stumbled upon EOpenMarket and their Lucky Box. It promised more than 30 samples for $8.80. It was combining my love of surprise with my love of new things, I knew I had to get it!

So below is a peek of one of the two Lucky Boxes I received.

(Yes two, I couldn’t resist).

All the Samples

[MINI REVIEWS] Nature Republic Eyeliner, Mizon Perfume Mist & SkinFood Lip Balm

Dear all! My deepest apologies for not blogging in a very long time – in the meantime I’ve jetted off to both Austria and Denmark, and been slightly distracted by my adult colouring book, colouring pencils and paints. Clap clap to Sophie whose really carried the team and kept this blog going – LOVE YOU SOPHIE <3

Anyway to make up for my AFK, I’ve complied three short sweet mini reviews of some of the products of been using. Enjoy!

[Glossybox] - September Style Edition

Goodbye Summer and ice creams and hello Autumn and the pumpkin spiced latte!
September has arrived and with it the usual feeling of ‘where has all the time gone’…

Fortunately my Glossybox ‘Style Edition’ has also arrived, banishing the oncoming winter blues back into their corner.

Let’s find out what the September Style Edition had in store!

[Travel] - 8 Tips for Travelling and Taking Care of Your Skin ~ Sophie

8 Tips for Travelling and Taking Care of Your Skin

Sorry for the delayed absence, we've all been off travelling this month! So this is the perfect collection of my top tips on loving your skin while on Hols.
I went up North for the weekend with only a large shoulder bag, via the budget-friendly Easyjet. This raised the question, how do I pack my hoard of skincare/make up while keeping to the restrictions. And are there tips for looking after my skin during travel.

The collection

Feeling cold up North, but my skin feeling great!

[Beauteque] - August 2015 Unbagging

It’s that time of the month again and my August Beauteque bag has arrived!

I unsubscribed from them last month, but couldn’t resist signing back up again. It’s the only Asian Skincare/Beauty subscription box, as far as I know, which ships to London and I love surprises so had to give it another go.

So let’s find out if I made the right decision.

[Rose Rose Haul] - Mega Haul from the Rose Rose Sale

So Linh my fellow Kbeauty fan girl alerted me to the amazing sale that Rose Rose was having to celebrate their new website, and I inevitably crumbled to the temptation of doing a massive haul in the face of the low prices. I semi-justified this haul by saying it was for the health of my skin and would provide ample material for the blog. So here is the first haul post on Threebb! (probably not the last XD )

All the Masks :D

[Empties] - Snails, Strawberries & Peaches! It's my empties for July.

One of my favourite blog posts to read are ‘Empties’ posts, as it usually means the blogger has been using the product for a while, and I’m curious about people’s routines!

I’m fairly new to the Korean Beauty scene, still learning about all the different nuances of snail versus starfish, and the truth about PH. But I’ve finally amassed an empties collection worth blogging about. 

In all their empty glory

[Soap & Glory] Peaches and Clean 4-in-1 Cleansing Milk

Price £8
350ml

"Wash and glow", "Melts away make-up"

Beauteque June Bag Unbagging!

Firstly apologies for the delayed blog, been completely swamped at work the last few weeks.
But the delay does mean that I've had the time to properly try out all the products, so expect a more in depth review than normal of the products!

Received my third and final Beauteque bag a few weeks ago, and also my favourite so far!
The theme this month was 'Sizzling Summer', suitably vague to suit almost anything :P
It had a combination of my two favourite things in K-Beauty, cute packaging as well as practicality.

So let's dive in and see what I got....

2015 - Marvelous May Beauteque Bag Unbagging!

This month's May bag arrived while I was in Japan so this review is slightly delayed as I've tried to get over the jetlag -.-"

The theme this month was 'Marvelous May', with the tag line 'Caution! You MAY fall in love with every must have in this bag!' And in my opinion was a marked improvement on Aprils.

Beauteque is pretty new to the subscription scene and is based in the US, but unlike Memebox they ship internationally which means us folk in the UK can subscribe!

You can subscribe for 3,6 or 12 months or just get a one off bag to try things out.

The BB bag as it's known contains at least 7 full sized products, with a mix of beauty, skin care and lifestyle!

One of the USP's of the Beauteque Bag is that you can choose the scent/types of a couple of the items every week. They send an email about a month in advance where you can choose from a selection.

Currently they're running a promotion where you can get 10% off a bb bag beauty subscription with the code 'MD10'

So lets find out what was in this month's bag

10 Days in the Wild Unbagging!

Mask Genie - 10 Days in the Wild

Hi Everyone,

Today I'm bringing to you a review of Mask Genies limited edition '10 Days in the Wild' pouch.

Mask Genie is run by Genie who is based in Hong Kong and does mask reviews on Facebook (Mask Genie Facebook). She gives her honest opinion and a great description of how to use the mask and its effects.

I was very excited when I saw the pouch advertised on the Facebook page, I'm a big fan of sheet masks and use them at least 3 times a week as a boost to my skin after a hard day at work. But the added novelty of having animal masks enticed me to buy this pouch.

So onto the review!

Tony Moly Egg Set Review

 Tony Moly was one of the first Korean brands that I heard of, and the egg pore blackhead steam balm is one of my favourite facial washes, so when I learnt there was a set I had to have it!

A steam balm, mask and then primer. The egg set truly helps those with those stubborn blackheads/sebaceous filaments.

Unboxing - Beauteque April!

Hi Everyone, Sophie here.
