L’Occitane Amande Shower Oil

Avon Skin So Soft Summersoft Refreshing Body Wash
I tend to go through quite a few Shower Gels and Body Washes. I do have my favourites out there, but I suppose in order to find a favourite you perhaps have to try it one day. Often I have tried ones which I thought was alright, and nothing …
Vaseline Cocoa Butter Deep Conditioning & Vitamin E
I was an avid user of Palmers Cocoa Butter, which I love! The smell was gorgeous and the long lasting moisture was brilliant. The only thing I found with Palmers was that it was heavy on my skin and even made me sweat more as it acted as an …

Ralph Lauren perfume: Romance

Wet n’Wild Mega Last quick dry ultra gloss topcoat
I’ve never really been a fan of Wet n’Wild makeup products. Yes, they’re super affordable but the packaging is very cheaply made and the overall look of all of their products comes off juvenile, like it’s meant for a pre-teens. Although I can’t imagine what kind of parent would …
Stila Long-wearing lipcolor lipstick
There are lots of long-wearing lipstick nowadays, some are very cheap and some are so expensive. Good long-wearing lipstick has no taste, will not darken lips for a long period of time using it, truly long-lasting, non-drying to the lips and also kiss-proof. I have tried using different brand …

Lavshuca by Kanebo Lip Gloss
I love Japanese products especially their makeup. Based on my experience with Japanese makeup, their products are made with chemicals and ingredients that are really matched for Asian skin like I do. When I was doing my makeup shopping in Watson’s store in Hong Kong, I came across …
Arm and Hammer Baking Soda Tooth Paste
The notion of willingly brushing my teeth with baking soda would have been a ludicrous proposition until I tried Arm and Hammer baking soda tooth paste. Being an undergraduate student however, I am proud to say, I’ve done worse! With sufficient courage mustered I spread the paste and began …

The Product

H&M Glitter Eyeshadow Palette
