New Polymer Clay Items

I've just done a batch of cute polymer clay jewellery items the past week. They include adorable cupcake earrings and cake slice earrings! I've really grown since the very first time I attempted making items with polymer clay! My fave items are the carrot cake earrings and strawberry earrings! They are all now available to buy in my store now, so go have a peek!

I've also made another set of hamburger earrings, rainbow earrings and also made a sushi plate and sweet plate that I might make into rings later. Unfortunately I ran out of earring hooks, so I'll have to order some more before posting these in my store!

Laura Mercier Review

I've decided to blog more about myself, not just about my 'creative' side and about my art, but more about my thoughts, reviews and things going on in my life! I'll probably blog more often this way too!

Another thing that I like doing (like any other girl) and that I enjoy, is makeup, skin care products, health and beauty! So I will be blogging more about these sort of things! Just to clarify before talking about my experience with products, I'm not a professional makeup artist, or beauty expert or anything like that. I'm just going to talk about my experience with them.

A couple of weeks ago, I ordered a few Laura Mercier products online (not sure if you can buy them here in Australia). I've heard a lot about Laura Mercier products and really want to take better care of my skin, especially my face (I have normal to oily skin). Although quite expensive, I just wanted to give them a go. Here is what I got:

1. Laura Mercier Face Polish. 2. Laura Mercier One-Step Cleanser. 3. Laura Mercier Illuminating Brightener.

I've been using them probably for a week now and they are great! The first 2 days I started using them, I already noticed a difference. I use the face polish and cleanser in the shower. I use about a 10cent piece for the polish and one pump of the cleanser. In a circular massage pattern, I put it all over my face with both hands and really make sure to rub it around gently, not aggressively. Then I rinse with water. The polish removes dead skin cells leaving skin smooth and toned. The cleanser cleanses, tones, and removes makeup all in one! The cleanser feels so soft, smooth and gentle when I apply it, making me feel so hydrated after.  I also use one pump of the Illuminating Brightener and pat it around my face before applying makeup. It is a serum that evens the skin tone by renewing skin cells and eventually gives you a flawless complexion. They all smell beautiful too! These products really make a difference to my skin and in turn, my face looks so smooth and balanced in tone when makeup has been applied.

I really like these Laura Mercier products. Unlike some others that I've used before, they are very gentle and smooth on the skin, no pulling or dragging so as to not damage the skin or create any wrinkles later on.

Here are the links for where I bought these:

The Three Bears

Finally finished the 3 bears illustration from Goldilocks and the Three Bears Series. I took ages doing Baby bear and photographing and posting these up! They should be available in my store very soon! So much has happened in my life the past month which is why I've been neglecting my Etsy store but it's always in the back of my mind. :)

I'm so happy to have finished these cute and adorable illustrations though and intend to do a lot more! Goldilocks is next, plus I would love to do another Alice in Wonderland series! (I am obsessed!)

I also want to get more stickers, professional prints and notepads up in my store of these illustrations so look out for these.

Keep your eyes peeled on my blog this coming weekend. I have a free surprise to share with all of you! :)

Hope everyone's been well! Take care of each other.
