[Review] SECRET KEY Milk Brightening Toner

Hey guys, it's me again! I'm back today with a review on the Secret Key Milk Brightening Toner. 

I purchased mine on Yesstyle for approx. $15 AUD after reading all the great reviews the product had. 

I've been testing out this toner for 2+ months now and here's my personal opinion of it: 

• I personally use it 3 times / day and pour a coin size amount onto my palms in which I quickly pat into my skin. 

Description 

The toner is described to be a 'gentle skin toner that creates radiant skin, with its moisturising formula containing milk protein and yeast extracts that are designed to balance out oil and sebum.' 

It claims to be free of parabens, mineral oil, phenoxyethanol, penzophenon and animal oil. 

Size: 248ml

Ingredients 

Milk Protein Extract, Glycerine, 1,2-Hexanediol, Green Tea Extract, Soybean Extract, Tomato Berry/Stem/Leaf Extract, Raspberry Extract, Oryza Sativa (Rice) Extract, Solanum Tuberosum (Potato) Pulp Extract, Daucus Carota Sativa (Carrot) Root Extract, Zanthoxylum Piperitum Fruit Extract, Hydroxyethyl cellulose, Cucumber Extract, Pumpkin Extract, Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate, Usnea Barbata (Lichen) Extract, Pulsatilla Koreana Flower Extract, Disodium EDTA, Fragrance

Texture 

The toner has a milky texture just a bit thicker than water and comes out in a milky/cloudy white colour.

It absorbs quickly into the skin and is perfect for to layer over for the 7 skin method.

Pros 

• Very lightweight and absorbs quickly into the skin - perfect for 7 skin method 
• Softens skin once applied and makes the skin smooth 
• Provides moisture to skin 
• Brightens skin tone & complexion 
• Gentle & doesn't irritate skin
• Refreshing on the skin 
• Does not leave a sticky feeling on skin 
• Sold at an affordable price and comes in a big bottle of 248ml

Cons 

• Has a slightly floral / 'grandma' fragrance - I personally dislike the scent at first but overtime I got used to it. 

Rating

The Milk Brightening Toner is definitely worth its price and really softens and soothes the skin. 

I definitely recommend this product for anyone who is looking for a moisturising toner to layer as well as to brighten the skin tone. 

Travel adventures in Macau

Hello...It's me again!

Wishing everyone a HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I am finally back from my China trip which consisted mostly of two things:
1. reuniting with my beloved family and having a blast
2. eating yum cha everyday

My trip also surprisingly turned into an almost 1 month phone / technology detox (because China blocks everything :/ ). It was definitely nice to not look at a screen everyday and to appreciate the people around me even more!

Now, onto the photos. Here are a compilation of snaps I took in Macau, China (which in my mind is the asian city of casinos).

At the 'Venetian' which is my favourite casino out of all the others I've been to!

FUN FACT: A part of Boys over flowers was filmed here!!

Chinese macca's

More casinos!!

Macau is even prettier when it's lit up at night

Shoutout to my adorable nephew (who loves minions as much as me)!!

My Sister's Graduation

Hello! It's Megan again....

On the 23rd of July, my beloved sister finally graduated from UQ, after a long waited 4 years of studying and stressing.

Having lived with her my entire life, I got a pretty good back stage glimpse of all her hard work she put into, in order to finally achieve this day. I am so very proud of her!

So here are some photos to document this wonderful day!

Until next time..

Out n About #4 - Jen's surprise dinner

Hellloo! It's Megan again...On Friday, a few of my friends planned a surprise birthday for our friend: Jenny's 16th.  We appeared at the footsteps of her house without prior notice and literally just dragged her out for dinner with us (aren't we great friends to her??). We settled in a nice restaurant on Grey Street in South Bank called 'Cucina by Toscani's.' As we went there shortly after school, we were all exceptionally hungry and devoured and savored our food. But this was of course after we captured photos of about every possible angle there was of our food hahaha!! :))

A feast indeed

Out n About #3 - Geography camp

Hello! It's Megan again... On Wednesday (29/4), I embarked on my first camp during high school to investigate the Nerang River Catchment for Geography. The weather was misty and dull throughout the two days but we made use of the time to visit as many sites as possible. The camp consisted of:

Day 1: 

• Numinbah Valley EEC
• Border Gate 
• Bochow Park 
• Forest Park 
• Numunbah Valley Hall 
• Canoeing activity
• Glow worm visit 

I think my favourite part of the whole trip was witnessing glowworms for the first time. It felt spectacular and surreal being inside the cave in complete darkness and accepting the fact that such heavenly and eccentric animals exist on this Earth. 

Day 2:

• Hinze Dam 
• Weedons crossing 
• Gold Coast Arts Centre 
• Lunch at Australia Fair

Natural Bridge waterfall which looked breath-taking

Thank you for reading!!
