12 KOREAN BEAUTY PRODUCTS I CAN'T WAIT TO TRY.
/
I'm obsessed with all the Korean beauty products that are finally beginning to appear in U.K. shops. I love the colourful, kitschy packaging although some of the strange ingredients (snail extract moisturiser, anyone?) might take a little getting used to. Here's 12 Korean beauty products I can't wait to try.
TONY MOLY Pure Eco Snail Moisture Gel.
This stuff is made from snail extract, yes, you read that right. Snail extract. I've got to admit I'm a bit wary about the idea of putting snail goop on my face but I've heard good things about this all-in-one moisturiser. Apply to cleansed skin for silky soft hydrated skin.
TONYMOLY Pocket Bunny Sleek+Moist Mist.
An adorable bunny shaped skin-balancing facial mist. Just spray and go for a fresh balanced, beautiful finish.
It's Skin Cookie And Hand Cream.
This moisturiser contains macadamia seed oil, shea butter and sweet almond oil to gently nourish the skin. I've tried the original one and it smells amazing so I'll be looking out for the mint and strawberry scented ones next.
TONYMOLY I'm Real Mask Sheets.
It seems like there's one of these masks for every skin problem, avocado to nourish, lemon to tighten or pomegranate for elasticity and more. You can get one of each in this pack of 11 here. These masks are formulated with natural ingredients specially chosen to brighten, tighten and hydrate. Simply lay the sheet on cleansed skin and let the magic happen.
TONYMOLY Red Appletox Honey Cream.
If I was going to buy a cream for the packaging alone this honey based cream would be the one. This apple scented cream moisutisers and exfoliates the skin using manuka honey, royal jelly and propolis.
A rich moisturiser that brightens and hydrates the skin. This quick acting cream will get to work right away, rejuvenating and refreshing for soft, healthy skin.
TONYMOLY Panda's Dream Hand Cream.
Another cream I'd buy just the packaging. Seriously, how cute is that panda? This hand cream has a subtle fruity scent that leaves the skin with a fresh and radiant glow.
Elizavecca Milky Piggy Carbonated Bubble Clay Mask.
This fun and bubbly carbonated mask is everywhere. It cleanses pores by pushing dirt and impurities to the surface of the skin. Apply the mask to your skin for 5 minutes, wait for the bubbles to form before adding some water and removing.
This site has an excellent tutorial showing you exactly how to use this product if you want to know more.
Oh K! Coconut Water Face Mask.
These coconut-infused masks hydrate and cool. Perfect for replenishing the skin and leaving it soft and supple.
More adorable animal packaging. This time peach and cotton candy cat shaped lip balms. Bye bye chapstick, I'd rather have one of these in my bag any day of the week.
It's Skin The Fresh Sheet Honey Mask.
I love the look of all of these masks but especially this honey one (you can find the full range here). Simply cleanse and dry skin, apply mask and let it sit for 15-20 minutes. Gently peel off to reveal softer, glowing skin.
TONYMOLY Pandas Dream So Cool Eye Stick.
This cooling eye stick promises to de-puff tired eyes and ease dark circles. Keep in your bag and apply throughout the day for a quick pick me up. Life-saver.

DIY ORIGAMI BOXES.
/
Do you remember these origami boxes? They're one of my most popular diy's and still my number 1 go-to when I need a last minute gift box. It's been 2 years since I first made them so I thought it was about time I updated them with some snazzy new summery paper and a video tutorial.
To make the base of your box you need to cut your paper ½ inch smaller. So if your lid was made using a piece of paper measuring 10 x 10 inches, the base should be made with a piece of paper measuring 9½ x 9½ inches.
The inside of the boxes should sit flat but if you have any problems you can always secure it with a little glue or maybe hold it in place with some cute stickers.

And if video tutorials aren’t your thing you can find the original photo tutorial here.
I'm thinking about remaking some more of my popular diy's with video tutorials. I know I still get a lot of emails and comments about my stamped clay bowls so I'll be putting that at the top of the list. If you've got any favourites or something you'd like to see in more detail please let me know in the comments below and I'll see what I can do.

Urgh, what is going on with the weather? It feels like it's done nothing but rain the last few days. If someone could drop a hint and let the weather know it's meant to be Summer I'd really appreciate it, thanks so much. The good thing is it's never too wet and windy to get crafting especially if it involves butterflies and biscuits. Here are my current 4 favourite diy's I'd love to make.
DIY Butterfly Push Pins
They are an easy and pretty way to add colour and interest to a pin board… even if you’re just pinning up boring documents. Put a butterfly on it!
DIY Sugar Lavender Bloom Cookie Toppers
I’ve been having a thing for lavender recently. I love the scent. It’s one of those things that literally makes me happy through my senses.

This easy-to-make (3 ingredients!) DIY lip stain makes the prettiest colour for your lips—and it works for cheeks, too!
Fabric-Lined Serving Tray
It’s perfect to use this summer for backyard picnics and barbecues, or as a coffee-table accent for books and a vase of flowers.
