Netherlands, Belgium, Disney Paris

I haven't left my blog! I am currently in the Netherlands visiting Ric :)
These are just some of my Instagram photos from Twitter.

I post photos once in a while on twitter to keep my friends and
family up to date if they ever need to know what I am up to =p

Ric and I had dinner the 2nd/3rd week of December at Ichi-e in Amsterdam.
The food was pretty good and the restaurant looked beautiful :)

I received some Belgian chocolates from Ric's family and it was yummy :)
Then he wanted to drive me somewhere as a 'surprise gift'. We first arrived
in Belgium, but the weather was quite horrible... been raining for the past 2
weeks!? well at least where I have been -.- Then we arrived in France and I
noticed that there were a lot of Santa's trying to climb through windows =p

This is a photo of Ric >> driving me to some unknown destination, until
we arrived and I saw a sign saying "Parc Disney" and my reaction was like
this: "O.O" but I was surprised and happy at the same time =p The potato head
on the right is customized by us lol. You could create your own potato head at
Disney Studios for around 17/18 euro =p it was fun, haha

The lovely entrance to the Disney Land park :)

Hope you're all having a great holiday! 3 more days until Christmas! :)

My Taekwondo instructor would laugh at me all the time in class -.- He kind
of mentioned about me being Santa's little helper because of the jingling XD
It was a long time ago though... over 6 years? lol still a cute gift though :)

Base: Sally Hansen Green Tea & Olive base coat
Colour: Priti Polish 'Fairy Thimbles"
Design: Konad M79 (frilly tip design)
Glitter: Nubar 'Blue Siren'
Top: Konad top coat

What does this nail design remind you of? honestly. :)

100% Pure Purifying Seaweed Facial Mask Review

This is a very unique facial mask!
As you can see from the photos above, the powder gradually turns
into a liquid 'paste' and the leaves actually grow out! Most likely
from the seaweeds and the peppermint leaves :)

Ingredients: Organic Seaweeds(Kelp, Agar Agar, Bladderwrack), French Green Clay,

Alpha Lipoic Acid, Vitamin C (calcium ascorbate), Organic Peppermint Leaves

I was really surprised and intrigued by the formula, seems like magic lol

I'm a sucker for magic even though I know it's not technically 'real' =p

Magic just lights up my mood. I think the best performance I have ever

seen was when I went to Hawaii back in around 2002? It was called the

Magic of Polynesia :) be sure to check it out if you ever visit Hawaii!

ok now back to the review >>

"Nutrient rich Seaweed Mask detoxes facial pores, purges out toxins,
leaves your complexion fresh and pure, while seaweeds nourish your
skin with antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. Potent Alpha Lipoic Acid
and Vitamin C repair damaged skin, restores elasticity, and strengthens
cellular structure." - 100% Pure website

Pros:

- easy to use (just add a bit of water)
- you can mix this with yogurt, tea, or fruit juice as well

- leaves the skin smooth

- reduces redness

- nice treatment for the skin

- brightens the complexion

- face feels refreshed after washing off
- good for oily skin, especially during the summer

- good amount of product for the price/ingredients!
- in a sturdy glass jar (would definitely reuse!)

Cons:

- smells like raw kelp/seaweed when water is added

  (only if you don't like the smell of raw seaweed ><)

- doesn't really do anything for my pores
- can be a tiny bit messy when applying because when used
with water, it doesn't really turn into a paste and some of the
liquid tends to drip off the face from the chin ><
- can be a bit drying after, especially being used in the winter
  (I have combination/oily skin but my skin tends to be a bit dry
   during the winter time >< I should use this in the summer)

How I use it:
- make sure the face is cleansed
- mix the powder with a bit of water while using a small brush
- apply the liquid to the entire face excluding the eye area
- wait 5-10 minutes, then rinse it off
- pat dry with a towel

I really like this product and have used it for 2 weeks.

I'm not sure if I would repurchase this again just because I like

to try other products, but this is definitely worth looking into!

It retails for $22 cad on the 100% Pure website :)
