I Love Juicy Shampoo

Bought this at HKD200 for 250g. I love it. It has a mango scent. So really nice when using this. Good for oily hair too. It just makes my hair really healthy. And my hair can last a lot longer than the average oily shampoo. I still have to wash my hair daily, but it's slightly better. So not bad.

boscia Charcoal Jelly Ball Cleanser

It is just a really nice round balloon. When you try to hold it, it feels like water balloon. So the only way to do it is to put in the case and poke using the stick. I was expecting it to explode and the water to gash out. But it was not cause it is made of jelly not water. In future, with a new set, you don't need the case to tear off the ballon case. It is very fragile and easily tear. But the plastic case is there to have it safer. Also it is to be used as the cleanser holder. After using, it can be used to place the ball in to dry - with or without the cover. It is really fun. Once the rubber balloon case is gone, the product is an actual jelly. So it is a jelly cleanser. It can be use on wet face directly or using wet hands to get the suds. On dry hands, it is like holding a jelly that will not melt. At least I think it will not melt. The cleanser itself is not bad. Foam up nicely and easily once wet. Manage to remove waterproof mascara too. In term of blackhead, I wouldn...

Natasha Denona Eye brow Palette

I wanted her eye shadows in forever. But when I saw the eye brow palette, I feel I had to choose this instead. The colours are all matte and neutral. I figure I can use this for eyeshadows too. I won't know if there is a different in quality of this and her normal shadows. There is not much review on this. Anyway, this is $72, so it is $14.40 per shadow. The packaging is plastic, so I feel like it is quite "cheap". It feels quite sturdy though when closed. It is thin enough and it is nice to get a full mirror. But the packaging does not feel like is $72 kind of product. I mean if you see MJ eyeshadow palette, it is sturdy and nice. Natasha's just feel flimsy.

BBW Vanilla Bean Noel Deep Cleansing Hand Soap

Oh I love Vanilla Bean Noel so much. I really really love scent. So Christmas like, so festive.

L’Oreal Colour Riche - 179 Cherry Tulle

A soft lipstick feel more like a jelly finish. It is supposed to be kind of pigmented. But I guess this can be applied lightly. Will give such a nice kissable lips. The colour is a slightly dark berry, so not the kind of shade you'll use daily. But it is nice. It is good for day or night time. Probably a bit too much for office wear. Actually come to think of it, this feels more like a thick balm. Not as comfortable but not like a lipstick also. Just a really pigmented balm. So yah, I mean it's good if you need colour but don't want drying lips.

Sephora Melting Shower Jelly - Morning Zest

250ml for $14 is quite reasonable? But I feel this one really get used really fast. Like in the end, less than a week, a quarter of the soap is gone. It's very fast. I guess cause this is like a gel, so you just tend to squeeze out a lot at one go. The scent is not strong at all. You can smell the citrus but not something that will wake you up. I am used to TBS ones, so this is weak. I don't mind it. But it will be nice to have a strong scent for the morning. I like it enough, but unless it is on sale, I would not purchase it.

Jouer Anti-Blemish Matte Primer

This is quite good for blemishes. I feel like it helps to reduce them. But for a matte primer, it works for a little time. I can't get away using this for the whole night. But maybe also cause of the powder I used. This is not a silicon feel kind of primer. It is not bad. Probably work better in cooler climate. But it does alright under our humid temperature. I wouldn't buy it again, but yah it's ok.

Japonesque Precision Lash Curler

Besides Shu Uemura curler, Japonesque is another one that is highly rave about. But I don't want to buy another curler, so I decided to get this mini one instead. It's for curling specific lashes. The plastic handle actually has two extra silicon pad refills. That's cool. But this is quite hard to use I feel. It just too direct in your eye kind of feel. So it doesn't feel comfortable. It is not a curler for beginners for sure. But once you get it in your lashes. It is very gentle on the lashes. You clamp it, your lashes get curl but it doesn't feel like it will break. So quite good once you get the hang of it. Just that since this is targeted for like a small area at a time, it's very tedious to use if you only have this curler.

L’Oreal Matte Transforming Powder

SPF 34, 12h shine resistant. This is to prime a shine free skin, cover minimise appearance of all blemish and skin imperfections. This powder came out ages ago. I don't know if they still selling this or just clearing stock. It just that I don't really hear people talk about it anymore. This is quite a thick powder. I would say it is more of a powder foundation than a top up powder. Pigmented and it's good for people who needs the coverage. The shade is slightly too light for me. It is not fully shine resistant. I feel after sometimes, my face will turn oily. So it's not that good. So I would not bother with this if you want something light. But if you need a foundation and don't want to go with a liquid one, this will be good. And will be better on normal skin. People with oily skin will have to keep touching up after every 5hours.

Sankyo Yohmo Tonic

Not sure how I feel about this. It has this really strong scent that makes me happy coz I feel like the product is working. But the scent just stay all day. I don't know if people around me can smell it too. If so, then they would know that I am losing hair. Not that it is not obvious from my thinning hair. I wish this come with a spray instead. Or at least an opening that is easier to dispense into the scalp directly. But oh well, so far so good. My scalp is quite ok. It doesn't get heat up or get itchy. So it is fine. Just the smell, kind of herbal like but is the hair tonic kind of scent. So I'm fine with it, just wish that the scent doesn't last all day.

Sephora Job’s Tears Sleeping Mask

A sleeping mask is basically a richer night moisturiser. So rich that not all the product will be absorbed into the skin when you wake up the next day. They always tell you to wipe off or wash off in the morning. This is not bad. I like that it is just a sample size but you can use this for like 3 days. It is a clear gel very much like the moisturiser. But it is slightly richer. There is not much different in term of consistency. I just would not use this in the morning. Cause it is not for oily skin. Maybe it is the problem with the range and not the product. Anyway, my skin did not lighten but it sure is moisturised.

Dior Rouge Gradient Lip Shadow Duo 575

A gift from my aunt. This is a powdery matte finish. Really pretty and easy to use. Need to apply on the lips a few times to get it pigmented. Cause my lips are dry and dark. So it's not really pretty on dry lips. But the colours when swatched is really really pretty. It's a magenta and coral shade. I love it.
