🌸✨ October Mask Challenge is here! ✨🌸

Hi everyone! Welcome (back) to Essa’s Corner!
This October, I’ll be doing something a little fun and consistent: a face mask every single day.

These aren’t sponsored—just masks I’ve collected (mostly gifted by my sister) and I’ll be sharing my honest thoughts on each one. Some will surprise me, some might disappoint, but you’ll get the real deal every day this month.

So if you love skincare, sheet masks, or just want to see how my skin holds up through 31 days of masking, follow along! 💛

👉🏼 Shorts will go up daily.
👉🏼 Full recap + ratings will drop in a long-form video at the end.

Let’s glow up together this October ✨

Can’t grow my own nails (grappling + piano life 🎹🥋) so press-ons are my little cheat code to feeling fancy. And honestly… these Glamnetic nails did not disappoint!

Here’s why I love them:
1️⃣ Perfect for people who normally need short nails but still want an instant glam option for occasions.
2️⃣ Super easy to put on — literally minutes and you’re done.
3️⃣ So many designs to choose from (dangerous for my wallet 😅).
4️⃣ Most press-ons pinch my nail bed or feel too narrow, but these? They actually fit comfortably and look natural. No weird tight feeling, just pretty nails that feel like mine… but better.

Basically, they’re instant, comfy, and occasion-ready nails that don’t require a salon trip. 👌

A slow afternoon out in Tottenham Court Road ☀️
Popped by the ‪@simpleskincare‬ pop-up at Outernet London — they’re launching a new sunscreen, and you know I had to check it out 👀🧴✨

Also made a cheeky little stop at Charlie’s Tea for their Mountain Black with Hazelnut Cream Top (honestly, so underrated — nutty, creamy, and just the right amount of fancy 💁🏻‍♀️)

Not much else, but it’s the small joys.
Sometimes, you don’t need a full itinerary—just sunscreen, good tea, and a walk through London 💚

First time using ‪@larocheposay_France‬ Oil Control Fluid Ultra Long UVA Protection sunscreen ☀️💛

Really impressed with it’s oil control formulation and that it doesn’t leave white cast! And that is coming from a South East Asian with oily skin!
And if you’re into tinted sunscreens, they’ve got that option as well!
