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

Near And Dear x RaRaSkin

Near And Dear is a korean beauty and cosmetics online shopping retail which offers a variety of the latest beauty products from Korea. Recently I'd taken part in one of their review events and was kindly gifted with products from RaRaSkin in exchange for an honest review. Without further ado, lets's start the review with my favourite product out of the 4, the RaRaSkin Vita Toner Pad.

𝐑𝐚𝐑𝐚𝐒𝐤𝐢𝐧 𝐕𝐢𝐭𝐚 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐨𝐭 𝐓𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐫 𝐏𝐚𝐝

  • Contains Carrot water, grapefruit extract and tomato extract 
  • Moisturize and sooths skin

This is huge, it's almost double the size of my previous toner pad, which is a good thing, as it's faster and easier to wipe my whole face with this. There's a mild citrusy scent to it, an almost natural scent which smells quite uplifting.

It's gentle on skin and I did not experience any tingling sensation from it. I have easily congested pores and I find toner pad helps a lot to minimize that, as it works great as a mild exfoliator. I find this to be highly beneficial for those with combination-oily skin as it helps a lot to reduce bumps on oily T-zone.

  • An intensive eye zone care treatment moistened with rich collagen.
  • Helps restore moisture and elasticity, diminish the signs of aging.
  • It is also effective to reduce puffy eyes.

I rarely use eye mask since they tend to sting my eyes but this does not sting my eyes at all. It has a mild scent to it that doesn't linger too long. 

The zipper pack contains 30 sheets of eye mask and I've been using it daily as it works really well to reduce eye puffiness. The leftover essence from the eye mask doesn't leave a sticky feel on my skin, it does however made my skin feels much more smoother.

  • Contains charcoal powder, which is known to absorb and thoroughly removes sebum, dead skin cells and dirt that has accumulated inside the pores.
This contains fragrance and there's a strong alcohol scent to it which I'm not too fond of, as it smells quite synthetic. 


The mask has a smooth creamy texture which makes it really easy to apply on my face.


It took a while to dry on my face, longer than the estimated 15-20 minutes, however it's quite easy to peel off if you applied it evenly.


I have oily T-zone and this is quite good for unclogging pores. I love the clean, refreshing feeling that I get after using it, and it made my skin look much more smoother.

  • Contains colloidal gold, which is known for increasing skin elasticity by activating the basal level of our epidermis and stimulating the cells making the skin more firm.


This has a hint of floral perfumy scent to it, which I don't really mind as it smells much better than the charcoal mask.

It has a thick, creamy texture, with beautiful shimmery gold sheen. Same with the charcoal mask, this took a while to dry.


I did not experience any skin irritation from applying this on, it also doesn't leave my skin feeling tight and dry. My pores appear much more refined and smoother affer using this. The result is almost the same with the charcoal mask, though I prefer this because it smells much better to my nose 😆


Overall, the toner pad and eye mask are my pick out of the 4, the huge size of the toner pack and the 30 eye sheet in a pack are quite economical and a great value for money. The peel off masks are satisfactory though I wouldn't recommend it if you're sensitive to fragrance.
