Revitalizing Gel Eye Strips

Cooling eye mask - yes, please! I've been quite lazy to do masks lately. Even though this year I promise myself that I will post up 2 masks review per month just so that I will used up my sheet masks and used up my samples. But I'm me, so I rather use eye masks as it's less messy but I am still pampering my skin. Or at least the eyes area. I like the cooling effect. That's about it. Cause I don't really see much difference using this. I guess dark circle will always be dark circle. But I don't have puffy eyes when using this, so I can't test that affect out. Psychologically I am happy with the product, as I really can never tell with eye creams and masks.

Nivea White Sparkling Scrub

I used this cause I just need some scrub desperately. It used to work well on my teenage skin. But now, I can't use this anymore. It just doesn't suit me. The scrub is medium gentle. Good facial scrub. But it's just a bad product for me. I break out using this. So yah, your skin changes as your grow. So one thing to note is that one product may work now doesn't mean it will work for you next time. That's all about this facial wash. Nothing much to talk about.

Payot Lotion Essentielle

This is a neat little toner to have around for traveling. The bottle is so much smaller than most travel size bottle. I don't like the opening though, as it is just too big and the liquid will just flow out. This is alcohol free, revitalizing toner with wild rose hip. It is a gentle toner to help cleanse and prepare you for the next step in your skincare regime. So ya, really gentle, a good way to remove and residue left over. It smells quite nice too, nothing to strong, just a calming scent. Surprisingly for 10ml, it lasted forever.

Pantene Hair Fall Control

I've been using Pantene since I don't know how long. Last time, it wasn't such a big deal what shampoo or soap you are using, as long as it is decent. Now I find that I'm more choosy. I got the Pantene set for traveling as it comes with its own bag. And I got the conditioner cause I really like the packaging. I am weird right?! The shampoo is decent enough. It doesn't actually help to prevent hair fall, but it did help control my oily scalp looks clean for a day. So it is just average enough to me. As conditioner goes, it just as good as others. I also got the 3 minute leave in treatment. It is alright. I just find that it just makes my hair smooth, which it will be with a normal conditioner anyway. Sa but redundant. I want to tell myself that it really makes my hair better, but it doesn't really. For the proper full size one intensive hair mask , I use it a daily conditioner. The packaging just makes it fun. Cause you don't have the turn the cover, just ope...

Color Riche Balm

Pop shades limited edition - Lilac Sweetness. A beautiful neutral with a hint of mauve. It's a very comfortable color that suits every occasion. The balm is more pigmented in texture than ordinary lip balm. That's why I categories this as butter instead of balm. Remind me of the Revlon lip butter. This doesn't last long on the lips but it's nice as it covers chapped lips pretty well. So it's nice on the lips. I really like the formula of this color riche.

Ziaja Natural Olive Body Butter

I am always scared to try anything olive. I am just cared of the scent. This smells better than the TBS olive series though. I don't really know what it smells like but it is alright. It is quite thick, unlike the g oat milk body lotion . It is quite easy to blend, feels quite moisturizing. It also feels nice on the hands. It sort of helps with my elbow's dryness. But I don't think I will purchase the full size as I am just not in love with it. There are better body butter out there.

Oriental Princess Popping Cheek Blush Puff

I've been looking for this kind of container since forever. I loved the Dior one, but they do not have it anymore. I guess it is just not hygienic or maybe it's just not popular. But I do like it cause it's so easy to put the blush on. Just puff and tap onto the skin. This is in the shade Poppy Pink. A light pink with a hint of shimmer. But it's so light that it can't be seen on my skin. The packaging can be twist to open and close. The problem is I don't know when it is close or when it's open. No matter which way I turn, a tiny bit of product will come out. So it's very frustrating. Plus the fact the color can't be seen on my cheeks, I just use this mostly if I look super matte, which is seldom. It's just a top up blush. A highlighter. That's what I use this for. Cause of its shiny appearance. I mean its shimmer glow, it's better as a highlighter than a blush. Quite a fail product I must say. Still can use, but I not that good. Bought t...

Too Faced Melted in Melted Fuchsia

I get why people love this. The color is pretty intense. Ok, wait. First of, I only have this color. So it's pretty hard to judge. But this one is intense. The color is pigmented and just in your face. Which is why I am not loving it so much. I am finally comfortable with red lips. Bright Pop Pink is still WIP. It takes time to get used to things. But nevertheless it is a beautiful color. (I know I will eventually get used to this color and regret my just ok review here. Hehe we'll see.) The texture is a bit dry. But I feel it is more of staining texture without the staining effect. So it is that. Suppose to be a long wearing lipstick, which I guess it is. But it wears off. I prefer something that can stain my lips. Not overly uncomfortable. It just hug your lips. But definitely need to scrub the lips before using this. It's better than lip tar as the application is direct. The sponge tip is nice. I like it as I have love my Clarins gloss. But ya it just different. Putting ...

Dr.G Hydra Intensive Blemish Balm

This just seems a bit too dull, too grey. It just looks that way, even on my face. But using it a second time, it makes my face brighter. It's just so strange. I don't know what to think of it. It doesn't leave me oily, which is awesome. Makes my face brighter, which is good. With a grayish undertone which is not good. So I tweak and try and I find that a little is good. With little product, my face don't seem so gray. It is a medium coverage. As I don't need to use concealer with this which is great, one less step. Smooth and easy to blend, has a nice scent too. My face is so dry nowadays. Too much medication product for my acne I guess. So my face has been very drying. This really helps a lot. It helps to prevent dryness. In the sense that my face doesn't flake as much. It just covers my face nicely. So overall, good for dry skin or even oily combo skin as it doesn't appear oily at all. Wouldn't buy it again though, but it's a nice sample to have. ...

Bioderma Sébium H2O - Combination or Oily

I'm not a fan of the Micelle Solution. Now I tried the green one which is for oily skin. And I still do not like it. This break me out. So weird right? It's worse than the pink one . This one just for cleanse and purify. Doesn't state that it removes makeup. The idea of these magic water are great. Especially this green one as it's for clear matte complexion. Who doesn't want that? So I don't know why it breaks me out. Lucky I just got the samples. Plus I really hate the scent. Gives a sour scent when react with my skin. You know, maybe there is something wrong with me skin after all.

YSL Touche Éclat

The magic of Radiant Touch is real. It truly is a product that gives a radiant finish to your face. It manages to reduce the appearance of black eyes. Easy to apply, easy to blend and doesn't crease. The packaging is beautiful but will leave lots of finger prints behind. And the bottom click where you have to push to get the product out; I've accidentally click that a few times. Messy but ain't as bad as tube packaging. I have shade no. 2 Luminous Ivory. It is too light for me. This is chosen cause my aunt bought this and it comes in a duo pack. So she gave me one. The SA match this shade perfectly for her, and she's so much fairer than me. But it does works for me too. Shade 1 is a bit darker than 2, as 2 is made with a pinkier undertone I think that's what the SA said, don't quote me. Nonetheless, it's a beautiful under eye concealer / highlighter. I really love using this as I find my face visibly brighter and I don't look so tired. I will be saving m...

ZA Pure Shine Lips

This is in color Praline. I thought this will be a nice neutral lipstick with a glossy finish. It is, but it is just not pigmented enough for me. It just feels more like I'm putting on gloss. It is just shiny with gold flecks. I use it more of a gloss on top of color.

Burt's Bees Soap Bark & Chamomile Deep Cleansing Cream

This is one weird cleanser. It's more like a moisturiser to me. It's a bit minty, but doesn't smell like it. It has a hint if chamomile in it, just as what the name says. So scent wise is quite nice and calming. But it really is just weird. I know some people really like it, but for me, it kind of just slide off my face. So I don't see how this can vibe consider a deep cleanser product. Not recommended.

NYX Lip Butter in Taffy

Lovely lip stick. As it's suppose to be a lip butter, so I guess it is suppose to be as smooth. Love the texture. Love the way it glides on the lips. It stays on and not difficult to apply. Which means no need a mirror. But of course a mirror is recommended. I also feel that without eating or drinking (unless using a straw), the color will probably stays on for quite a while. I was reading a book on my bed with this on. I was too engross in it that I didn't realize it was already 2 hours plus later. And surprise surprise the colors still on. Still pigmented as when I first apply it. Now the only thing I don't like is the color. It doesn't suit me at all. I really want a pink, a beautiful pink. A bright pink. But nothing suits me. So this one is the same. Really beautiful but doesn't suit my skin at all.
