The Ever Changing Paint of the TANK

Since moving to Southwark, London 5 years ago, on my journey to collect a package that didn't get delivered to my door from the post office, I discovered a TANK in the middle of a random street! 
You can just see the barrel of the tank peeping through!

So after going home I did a little research on the tank.

It is located in between Mandela Way and Pages Walk just off Old Kent Road in the borough of Southwark, London. The tank is a decommissioned Souviet T-34-85 battle tank. A former Czech army tank that was used in the filming of Richard III (1995) It was bought in 1995 by Russell Gray, who lives nearby, for £7000. 

After abit more further digging online, rumor has it that the owner of the tank Russell Gray, bought this piece as a birthday gift for his 7-year-old son! Toy cars weren't enough for Master Gray eh?? The tank was installed on the land it is currently on owned by Mr Gray. Apparently Mr Gray had just lost a planning battle with Southwark council... The gun barrel is now deliberately aimed towards the council offices....  

Anyway enough history talk, the reason why this tank interested me apart from it being a TANK in the most randomest place, is that, the the paint job on this tank gets changed every so often. I've tried taking pictures of it whenever I pass.

Now, I finally present to you the Ever Changing Paint of the TANK (I will update this with more pictures when ever the TANK gets a new lick)

Ojun- Rare Blend Oil

I'm going to make this review quick and simple! As this post has been sitting in my draft box for far too long!I'm turning into quite the lazy blogger!

Where did I buy this?
Boots UK

Price?
£30

What are my thoughts?
What lured me to purchase this product in the first place was the gorgeous presentation, as you can see Ojun rare oil brand comes in a glass bottle with the product seperated in it. You need to shake it before pouring it out. With it being on the upper price range for hair oils as well, I thought that this product must be good!

HOWEVER
I found the product very greasy! It felt like the oil just sat on top of my 
hair! Hand me the sunflower oil why don't you?!

I definately would not purchase this product again!

[O.S.T] Vitamin Sleep 9 to 5 Crema Review

It's the moment we've all been waiting for! Haha well the moment i've been waiting for at least. I'm going to take you through my moment of pure joy!

Let me tell you, when this product first arrived in the post I was hella excited!!! Read my latest product haul and review [here]

Let me introduce you guys to the O.S.T Vitamin Sleep 9 to 5 Crema.
 PAP
The reason why I was so excited to try this, was because I have previously tried the OST Original Pure Vitamin C-20 Serum with great results, and this 9 to 5 Crema claims to enhance those results. So now we are enhancing enhancing beauty? Oh, wow! Let me in!

Let us continue, open that baby up!

Oh this feels like its in slow motion...
 
Hallelujah!!  

O.S.T Vitamin Sleep 9 to 5 Crema says that it will: 
·                Brighten skin tone
·                Increase Absorption of vitamin C into skin 
·                Hydrates skin 
·                Even after 5 hours sleep, your skin will look like it has slept for 9!
What Are My Thoughts?

Upon opening the cream, the scent of sweet oranges and citrus fruit filled my nostrils. It is very much like the scent of the vitamin c serum. This crema is suggested for use with the vitamin c serum to achieve the best results. However scent wise, though similar the scents are, when going to sleep I find the 'citrusiness' a bit over powering for night time. I beg you don't tango me!

I found the creama 
wonderfully hydrating, this cream is moderately light upon use. After waking up I found my face was subtle, soft and feeling moisturized! 

Testing the 9 to 5 theorem out. I put on the vitamin c serum and the 9 to 5 crema on top before going to bed. The snooze button got the better of me and I had around 6 hours sleep, not quite the 5 hours!  >< Nevertheless I was very tired! In the morning I saw my face was very hydrated, but the tired look in my eyes was still there and that off balanced the freshness of my face! A zombie with a fresh face is still a zombie! 

All in all I would not purchase this product again due to the overly citrus smell, but I did love how hydrated my skin felt in the morning! 
I purchased [O.S.T] Vitamin Sleep 9 to 5 Crema from wishtrend.com for 26.99 USD which converted to £18.33 at the exchange rate at the time of purchasing. 

This product is recommended to use with the the Vitamin C-20 Serum. Read my review on the O.S.T Original Pure Vitamin C-20 Serum [here]

Sorry for this boring review but to my fellow United Kingdom homers, I hope you are enjoying the sunshine and basking in all that heat :) mucho love! x

Clear Product Info
All the product information, like how to use the product, what the product contains is clearly described to you, you will have no doubt to what you are buying. This seems like an obvious thing for a website to do- but trust me some people just don't know how to do business! lol! Plus it is all in English- there's your cookie points ;)


Check out their webiste for yourself www.wishtrend.com


Payment is Super Easy!

[Ciracle] Jeju Water Sleeping Mask Review

Whats In This Little Pot of Gold??

Gold you say? My gosh, someone must be baaaallin'! HAHA I wish.. Someday... I'm still climbing my way up there, on a tattered piece of string, but still climbing nonetheless :D

But yes you heard correctly. Ciracle's Jeju Water Sleeping Mask contains pieces of 24 carat gold! It is said to: 
·                Help revitalize the skin 
·                Protect the skin from toxic substances.
·                Prevent skin trouble. 
This sleeping mask also contains water from the beautiful Korean island of Jeju! 
Jeju Water Sleeping Mask is put on the face at night after your daily nighttime facial routine, just before sleeping- no need to wash off! You can find 'well-moisturized and vital skin next morning'. 

I purchased this product online from Wishtrend, you can purchase your product [here]. It was retailed for 31.99 USD which converted to £22.10 at the exchange rate at the time of purchasing. 
Let's zoom in on those bad boy gold pieces, because lets face it we all love abit of bling :)
My little leprechaun friend is already stacking up on his gold! 
My Verdict 

I love it!
I apply this cream on top of my night moisturizer. On application, the cream is like water, no oily heavy feeling at all!
When I wake up early the next morning expecting a groggy looking morning face, I find my face is perfectly hydrated! My skin feels soft and supple. It feels like there is a new bounce to it, so if this is what it is for skin be 'revitalized', Ciracle has clearly done an amazing job! 

Product Rating- 10/10

[Ciracle] Secret Sebum Powder Review

What is Secret Sebum Powder? And What Does It Do??

·                Ciracle's Secret Sebum Powder is a portable absorption powder for the face. 
·                It absorbs excessively excreted oils from oily skin, removing unnecessary oil such as sebum and skin waste.
·                 'Anytime, anywhere! Deliver soft skin like a baby's.
·                Tap this powder onto your face whenever you feel you need to freshen up. 
·                The plant ingredients in this powder allow pores to breathe
·                Secret Sebum Powder is colourless, so it can be used on all skin tones leaving no residue behind. 
Seems to me that Secret Sebum Powder is the answer to your greasy-sweaty-face nightmares, don't-point-that-flash-at-me ways and flawless-face-all-day-everyday prayers. 

So, hoping for my prayers to be answered I decided to try this product out. 

I bought Ciracle Secret Sebum Powder online from Wishtrend. Have a look at my past Wishtrend haul [here] ^^ It was retailed for 16.99 USD, which converted to £10.96 at the exchange rate at the time of purchasing. 

Lets put this product to the test!

On the 25th of May. I went to London's MCM Comic Con, where this event expects more than 60,000 attendees. Let me tell you, there were ALOT of people, and we had to queue up for 2 hours! Thousands of people and shuffling crowds? Sweat, sweat. 

Get Ready With Me :)

After applying my make-up, I tapped Ciracle's Secret Sebum Powder on my face, mostly around my T-zone, where I get oily the most. I found that this powder set my make-up perfectly! It gave my face a soft matte finish. 
Face all done. Now, how can you go to a comic con without a little cosplay? :D
Guess who I am! :)) 

Random persocom from the anime Chobits ^^

My Verdict

I love this product! 

My face stayed perfectly shine free the whole time I was at the comic con. 
I reapplied this powder twice throughout the 6 hours I was there, when I felt my face was going greasy. My face was soft to the touch after applying this powder and it kept my make up looking fresh. I was surprised at how well it did its job! My friend commented on my face and said that 'it looked fine, neither shiny nor greasy'. 

The packaging is great! 
So portable, I take this powder everywhere I go. With the nifty little device inside the tub, it insures the powder will not spill everywhere. The only thing I can suggest to make this design better, is to have a mirror on the inside of the lid ^^ 

Better than oil absorbing sheets and make-up powder. 
With oil absorbing sheets, they absorb the oil, but then after you need to throw away that nasty piece of paper, powder up some more, talk about long process!! With normal make-up powder I find sometimes it makes my skin flaky looking from applying make-up on top of make-up. So with the Secret Sebum Powder, I feel like it is a 2 in 1 product: You get rid of the grease, and get a matte finish at the same time! 

All good for greasy lazy people like me :D

Would I purchase this product again?
Yes

Product Rating- 9/10

I will leave you all now with a little snippet of what I got up to at comic con, the costumes were very entertaining! :) Darth Vader, the Mask, Ryuk from Death Note, The Mario Bro's were among the many I saw. Oh yeah, and about two hundred Pikachu's! Now I know where all those Pikachu's on that bus were heading to... XD
...
"How do you get a hundred Pikachu's on a bus?"
"You poke-them-on"
