First Impression: Derma Skincare Triple Hyaluronic Acid Super Moisturising Treatment Mask

This smells so good. I don't know what it is but it is heavily perfumed. So it's very flowery and fake but it's just soothing in a weird way. I mean I feel like it's, I don't know how to explain it. It is not a cooling mask. It's very wet, a lot of essence and it just kept dropping down my chin. I wouldn't like recommend this. But nothing wrong with using it if you have it on hand. It is after all a wet mask, so it should be very moisturising.

Jo Malone

Honeysuckle and Davana: The wildness of honeysuckle, winding through the English countryside. Climbing. Twisting. Ever more alluring after dark. Fresh with rose and the aromatic, fruity twist of davana. Woody with moss. Warmed by sunshine. Beautiful scent. I love it. It is very flowery like but not so sickening. It is feminine yet warm and sophisticated. A great scent for when I need an extra boost of life. Peonies and Blush Suede: The essence of charm. Peonies in voluptuous bloom, exquisitely fragile. Flirtatious with the juicy bite of red apple and the opulence of jasmine, rose and gillyflower. Mingling with the sensuality of soft, blush suede. Luxurious and seductive. I would have thought that this is less flowery more feminine. It's actually very strong. It has a strong jasmine after scent lingering. I like it. Between the two, I would have thought that I prefer the peonies but I was wrong. Initially I love peonies. But the more I use, the more I lean towards honeysuck...

American Crew Daily Conditioner

It is not like I need a conditioner so soon when I am using one giant bottle of 1L conditioner. But I have two bathrooms and sometime I do use the guest bathroom. Anyway, this is a men brand and I like men products. Cause they are fuss free most of the time. The description say it is for normal hair but oily hair will love this too. This is 450ml at $25 on sale. So far it's an ok conditioner. I mean it gets the job done. I would wish for it to be more fluid. I think that the conditioner should stay on the hair a lot longer than now. It feels like it doesn't stay on the hair. So I feel like I need a lot to smooth the hair. The only nice thing about this is that it is minty. The longer you let it rest on the hair the more it turns minty. I only like this part of the conditioner. I think cheaper condioner is better, so I would not really buy this again.

Lux Rich Repair Leave On Oil Treatment

Lux Luminique Deep Serum, I like the dropper. I used this for my curly hair, but I think it is just an oil for hair treatment. Nothing really special about it. Its just nice for extra conditioning. But doesn't do anything to maintain curls. Not that it is for that. The smells is quite mild too, so it's nice for anyone who doesn't like too much scent.

Olive Smoothing Body Scrub

This is a body scrub made in New Zealand, my aunt got it for me, but it wasn't from NZ. The scrub is like most scrub - gentle enough, gritty enough. It's like TBS scrub. So I don't really see the appeal of this product.

June Jacobs Fresh Squeezed Lemon Cleanser

I like this but it's quite watery so a bit hard to use. It cleanse alright, but it takes time to get used to it. Like in the first few uses I always feel like it doesn't do a good job. My face doesn't feel clean enough. Only until after a week that I'm used to the consistency of this cleanser that I am OK, that I feel my face is clean enough. Not exactly cheap, I bought at SEPHORA for $36. It is 200ml.it is no longer selling at SEPHORA though. Guess it's just not good enough.

BBW Gentle Foaming Hand Soap - Beautiful Day

It's a beautiful day indeed. I love that this is blue. Its just so cheery. Like a proper vacation which I desperately in need of one. It smells mostly of apples but with some hint of floral. It's actually suppose to be some cassis and daisies. But just apples too me. Beautiful holiday apple if there is such a thing.  But I do feel like this is quite drying. So a hand lotion is needed after washing hands with this. Troublesome. Well, it's just slightly drying.

Sephora Nourishing Shower Balm - Beach Vibes

I wish for a beach vibe everyday. If only life is that good. It’s a really nice shower balm. It doesn’t smell like the beach. I don’t feel the beach vibe. At first yes. The first time I use this, it feels like yeah you are relaxed after a day at the beach kind of feeling. But I’m guessing that’s just cause of the name of this product. Eventually, it is become a nice shower balm, but that’s it.

Yves Rocher Sculpting Spray Curly Hair

I bought this cause I wanted to curl my hair. And just nice the shipment came a couple of days before I did. I find that it is alright. I mean it doesn't crisp up my hair. It just gave a nice bounce without the drama. It smells nice too. I spray it on wet hair and either curl my hair with my finger or I will blow dry a bit. I find that by tying braids and let it dry naturally give me the best curl.
