Shiseido Moisture Mist Face Powder

My skin is no longer so fussy that only matte powder will do. So I can use this kind of powder. It is translucent but it actually is quite on the shimmery side. Not extremely shimmery nor it will show. But it is just not matte. I actually like the big puffy powder puff. It just makes applying a breeze. Also, I find that my face doesn't really get oily as fast. So this powder is perfect for me. Plus I think this about $10? I cant remember but it wasn't expensive. For something from Shiseido, it really is quite a bargain.

Integrate Who’s the Glamorous Mascara

In Taiwan, this is like one of those makeup item you need to try. It is from sub-brand of Shiseido. It is alright. I wouldn't say it is something that you need to have. It is just one of those mascara that is quite dramatic. It is a bit too clumpy for me. I feel like I have to wait for it to dry down a bit before I can actually use this.

REN Travel Essentials

Neroli and Grapefruit Body Wash has a very subtle scent. It is quite nice but nothing special about it. It lathers ok, but its just a soap. Oat and Bay Conditioning Shampoo is one that I have to use a lot to get a lather. Maybe it's just me who loves bubbles on my hair. But I just have to have it to feel the shampoo doing its thing. So it's a waste most of the time and this is only 50ml. A week trip is enough though but no more than that. Pro Vitamin Conditioner is pretty standard. You have to really let it sit for awhile to get the product to work. It is alright, but it won't be suitable for those who have really coarse tangly hair. Neroli and Grapefruit Body Cream . Now this is weird. It sinks into your skin really fast. It's good. Not oily and all that. So you can put on and leave the house without feeling sticky. But it feels like it doesn't do its job. It's like disappear into the skin, but my skin still feels rather dry. So I don't know. On ...

BBW Country Apple Shower Gel

This is the first time I use their body wash. I thought I did, but when I use this I was so amazed. I just fell in love. The consistency is like any typical shower gel. Well slightly thicker. It's more gooey but not sticky. Like TBS is slightly runnier if that make sense. Still this is just very soapy. It lathers very very well. You can stretch a small amount for your whole body. It's like using a loofa, except there is not much bubble. And the smell is so lovely. This one is just like apples. Like a cooler day in the orchard, picking apples. The scent is not overwhelming. It's overall really nice. But one gel is $19

Yves Rocher Verbena Leaves Body Lotion

The lotion is actually white. So it's just the tint of the bottle making it look green. It has a very subtle. And I mean subtle scent. Quite fresh, clean garden scent. It's nice. The lotion is nice too as it's very fast sink into the skin. It's a good lotion actually. Especially if you need one to apply before putting your clothes on. You won't feel sticky afterwards. The only thing I would say about this is that it's just boring. I don't get excited using this.

Lush Soak And Float Shampoo Bar

Love shampoo bar. It's just different I guess and I like different. It's easy to get a lather on. I can use my hands to get the suds out or just rub the bar onto my hair. The smell is nothing fantastic. In fact, there's not much of a scent. Shocking for Lush huh? It's not exactly a shampoo for oily hair. But it does it's job. I will have oily hair at night, but nothing to shocking. I wash my hair daily anyway. So it's no big deal.

Maybelline Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circle

I always wanted to try this but I see no reason to pay $19.90 for it. I know, I always buy $40 concealers from Sephora but $20 ones give me second thoughts. I finally decided to get it in Perth. It's cheaper at $13 but I just needed one you know as I was saving my currency for Sephora Aussie but turn out there is none in Perth. I like how this is a sponge applicator that is not a wand. It just makes application easier. Unhygienic but I am not fussy on that. The consistency is so light. It's like applying moisturiser. But at the same time there is a slight coverage. I feel that it's not enough to really cover your dark circles, unless you apply a thicker coat. I got one in shade 130 medium which is quite close to my skin tone. Maybe slightly lighter when I have a tan. But the colour is still good. It's overall just a fuss free concealer that it is simple to use. But the lasting power, it's not as good. It last the whole office timing, but not for dinner. So t...

Compagnie de Provence Shower Gel Samplesp

Olive Wood has a nice neutral scent. It doesn't lather at all. So it's a bit hard to use this. It is just too drying on the skin. Mint has a nice minty scent. It lathers well but a bit drying on the skin. Rose has a very light rose scent. It doesn't lather at all. I don't like it all. It doesn't work as a soap. Olive Lavender is quite good. Doesn't lather as well as the mint, but it's not as drying. Smells good too.
