L de Lolita Lempicka

L de Lolita Lempicka was launched in 2006 and the fragrance was created by perfumer Maurice Roucel. The bottle was designed by Sylvie de France. From the perfume ad and the aquamarine, pebble heart shaped bottle with the golden net, this perfume reminds me a lot of the deep blue ocean and mermaids. Even though I have an affinity for mermaids, I'm not too fond of aquatic scent, which is why I steer clear from this perfume for years, thinking it as another harsh clean scent.  The only reason why I got this is because of the bottle, it's been discontinued for years and I wanted to get this before it's gone. So imagine my surprise when I first tried it on. Instead of being bombarded with screechy and sharp aquatic scent, I was left with a delicious oriental vanilla scent that conjures images of Christmas baking. I immediately regret not getting a full bottle of this years before it's been discontinued, lol. Top Notes Bitter orange,   Bergamot

Avoskin Miraculous Skincare Set

Avoskin is a skincare brand from a neighbouring country, Indonesia. It's a brand that I've recently discovered thanks to a giveaway by Picky. Picky and Avoskin have kindly gifted their Miraculous skincare set which includes the Miraculous Retinol Toner, Retinol Sheet Mask, Perfect Hydrating Treatment Essence and The Great Shield Sunscreen in exchange for an honest review.


𝐌𝐢𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐑𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐨𝐥 𝐓𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐫

My first retinol toner and it's my fave out of the 4 products from Avoskin. An age delay toner that contains Niacinamide, Retinol, Peptide and pomegranate fruit extract which are great for anti-ageing.

  • It has a slightly watery, viscous texture.
  • It leaves a  slightly tacky feel on skin for a minute or two before fully absorbing into skin, leaving skin soft and smooth.
  • It contains no fragrance, hence the natural scent. 

  • The small amount of Retinol is perfect for Retinol beginner as it doesn't feel dry out my skin. In fact, it feels quite hydrating on my combination skin.
  •  A great addition if you're starting an anti-ageing skincare routine.

Contains Retinol, Peptide, Vitamin E, green tea extract, and raspberry works optimally to stimulate skin cell regeneration and increasing collagen production naturally. Help reduce fine lines, maintain skin elasticity, and brighten skin.

  • Thick, yellowish essence which reminds me a lot of their Retinol toner.
  • Fragrance-free though it does have a hint of alcohol scent to it.
  • I love thin mask but this is a little too thin and the quality of the sheet mask is not the best, it's easily teared and it doesn't give the best fit. So it doesn't give me a great skin pampering experience.
  • Despite that, it does plump up my skin and I did not experience any skin irritation from it.

Enriched with chamomile oil and ET-VC, which is a new generation of stable vitamin C derivative that provides superb whitening effects, serves to promote collagen synthesis and protects DNA damage. This product is effective for moisturizing skin, brightening, addressing acne, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidants.

  • This has a strong alcohol scent which I'm not too fond of. There's a hint of floral scent to it too though it doesn't help much in masking the alcohol scent.
  • It has a slightly watery texture that are easily absorbed into skin.

  • It has a mattifying effect on my skin, so I used this during the day where my skin tends to look the oiliest.
  • In terms of hydration, it doesn't feel that hydrating on my combination skin, however it also doesn't seem to dry out my skin or cause any breakouts.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐆𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭 𝐒𝐡𝐢𝐞𝐥𝐝 𝐒𝐮𝐧𝐬𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐒𝐏𝐅 𝟓𝟎 𝐏𝐀++++

Enriched with Zinc Oxide, Niacinamide, Centella Asiatica, and Vitamin C which effectively soothes the skin, minimizes the negative effects of pollution, and is safe for sensitive skin.

  • It has a thick, creamy texture that spreads easily on skin. I was expecting this to feel greasy on skin, however it feels quite light and doesn't make me look like a shiny, giant grease ball.
  • This leaves a white cast on skin, however it doesn't look too obvious if you pat and blend them slowly into the skin.
  • Does not dry out my skin nor did I experience any irritation from it
