Finally NAKED

Finally, finally, finally!!!!!! An unplanned trip to Sephora this Saturday led me to a BIG surprise!!!!
I was so shocked to see that there is ONE NAKED palette sitting on the shelf!!!! And I immediately grabbed the palette and ran to the cashier without any hesitation. =) OMG, I just have been waiting for it for so long!!! I know for most of the places in the US the palette is re-stocked, but unfortunately in Canada it is still not the case.

I was also surprised to learn from the sales associate that there were a lot of returns for this palette. She said that people just did not try out the colours and was not pleased with the fact that they are not matte colours. This is such a waste because even if they have only swatched one colour, they will have to throw away the entire palette. I personally am not a big fan of matte shadows and actually prefer shadows that have a sheen on them. But I guess because the NAKED palette was so hyped up, people just did not think twice before purchasing. Also, she told me that Urban Decay will be coming out with a 2nd edition of the NAKED palette with more cool tone colours. =)

I am really excited to use this palette and I think it is just wonderful for travelling. However, I am not too sure about the brush that comes with it. The idea is great but I just don't really like this kind of brushes for apply eyeshadows. I preferred a more fluffy brush or just those cotton tips applicators. I am also excited to try out the primer potion because I have only tried the Too Faced Shadow Insurance. The Too Faced one works pretty well on me so I think I might actually give the Urban Decay primer potion to my mum for her to try. =)

Time to Shine

When I am wearing nail polishes, 90% of the time it is neutral colours. But as the temperature continues to drop, I can't help telling myself Fall/Winter season is here (as much as I don't want Winter to come...) and it's time to switch it up a bit!!

Yes, just a bit~ =)

I picked up this Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear Nail Colour in "Time to Shine" and I really like the metallic sheen it gives. As you can tell, it is still somewhat within the neutral colour scheme and it is just my cup of tea~ The application is very smooth and I actually do enjoy the bigger, flatter brush it has (I am not sure if all Sally Hansen nail polishes have the same kind of brush)!!! This is what it looks like with 2 coats, and please excuse my messy application...I really only started to wear nail polishes about 1 year ago and there is lots of rooms for improvement!! >.<

Surprising Finds!!!

Have you ever gone shopping and then found stuffs that you didn't expect to come across?? That feeling is just like discovering some sorts of treasures!!!!! And what makes it even better??? How about a discounted price?? =)

I was shopping at Rexall (a Canadian drug store) the other day, and I actually have never been to a Rexall before (I usually shop at Shoppers Drug Mart) but I was going there to look for NYX products specifically. But what I found in the end was even more exciting.........

OMG, I was literally screaming inside my heart when I saw the Befine exfoliating cleanser!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I never knew that Rexall carries Befine products. In fact, I don't even know if they do because these Befine products are in the clearance section and there isn't another section for their products in the store. And since they are in the clearance section, they are all discounted!!!!!!!

I first heard about the Befine exfoliating cleanser from Ingrid, who is missglamorazzi on youtube and I think she got a sample of this cleanser in her Birchbox and she loves it. After that, I heard a few more girls on youtube raved about this cleanser and I was really interested to try it out. However, at that time, I couldn't really find a way to purchase this cleanser and I was telling myself that unfortunately this is another product that us Canadian don't get to try...=(

I guess I was wrong then!! And I'm so glad that I was wrong!!!!

Of course without any hesitation, I grabbed the exfoliating cleanser. I was thrilled when I got home and checked its retail price online. It is supposed to be $25 and I only paid about $12-14 for it (sorry I can't remember exactly the price and I don't have the receipt anymore)!!!!!

I have already used it once since I couldn't wait to try it out!! It is more abrasive than I thought it would be and you definitely need to massage the cleanser with a light hand. Since I have only used it once, I really don't want to comment too much yet. But maybe I will do a more detailed review on it after I have gathered more thoughts about the product.

I have also decided to pick up the Eye Brightening Treatment with avocado oil and it retails for $30 and I only paid about $17 for it!!! I have started to use it in conjunction with my Olay cucumber eye gel and I haven't tried it long enough to say anything about the product. However, I must say I don't really like the pump. I thought I would like the packaging since it is more sanitary but the pump is so hard to use. It always pumped out more products than I need and I have tried to push it slowly and gently but it is not cooperating.





That's why people say you never know what you are up to when you are shopping~ =P

Maybelline Dream Smooth Mousse

This is serious!!!!!! Because I don't think I have ever used up a foundation (I have hit pan on my Chanel powder foundation, but I haven't used it up entirely yet.)!!!@@ So this must be saying something~!!! 

I was really impressed when I tried this foundation in the drug store and I wasn't disappointed after I bought this. The application is really smooth, like its name, it really is Dream Smooth~~~~~  I just use the sponge it came with to apply this foundation and it made my morning foundation routine so quick and easy! The colour matches me pretty well and I wear #180 Nude Beige. 

#180 Nude Beige 

The formula is quite hydrating and I was probably using it the most throughout February to April which is still quite cold and dry here in Canada but this foundation still performed well~ 

I will say the coverage is probably medium and the main reason why I haven't been using it as much later was because my skin has been breaking out so badly (not because of this foundation) that I need some more coverage. Also, this foundation is not very long-lasting (at least on my skin) but perhaps adding a setting powder could improve its longevity. 

Overall, I am definitely impressed by this foundation and I am happy that I have found a drug store foundation that I like. =)

Eye Creams

 I use eye creams on a regular basis and I think it is important to start preventing any skin problems around the eyes area at a younger age. I pretty much started to use eye creams a few years after I started to use skincare products regularly (as I recall =P).
To me, moisture is the key thing I look for in an eye cream since I don't want to put too heavy products around my eyes yet.

Here are some eye creams that I have used up recently, using currently, and want to try in the future.

Used up: It's skin --- Moisture System Eye Cream 

You may not be familiar with this brand "It's skin" because it is a Korean brand and my parents got this for me while they were at Korea last Summer. This is a HUGE tube for an eye cream and it seriously lasted me for soooooooooooo long!!!!!!
It is actually more of a gel texture rather than a cream and overall I think it is pretty hydrating. It doesn't have any overpowering scent (which is good) and I also like how it is in a tube. =)
I don't know if I am in love with it, it is a decent product but I find myself liking slightly more than a gel when it comes to eye creams. This It's skin eye cream is more than other eye gels I have tried but not to the extent that I would like it to be. However, that being said, I think this product is great for Summer because I don't know if I can actually put a cream under my eyes in such a hot & humid weather (especially when I travel back to HK)...=S

Currently using: Olay cucumber eye gel 

As I just said, I don't like anything too thick when it comes to Summer and this Olay eye gel is definitely light. I used to enjoy it more but as I get older now, I think I prefer something thicker than this gel. 

It is very affordable, especially if I get this from HK (which I did). But I probably would not repurchase this in a short while because I really want to try something new. 

The Olay eye gel is certainly a basic eye cream/gel and I  would recommend it to anyone younger and want to start using eye products. 

What I want to try: Origins GinZing & Eye Doctor

I have heard many good reviews on these products, especially the GinZing eye cream. But of course when it comes to skincares, you really have to try it yourself to test things out.
I actually want to try GinZing for my Mum as well because she told me that she has problems with puffy eyes and I think the caffeine content in GinZing may help.

A few beauty used-ups

These are some products I have used up a while ago and I thought I would share some of my thoughts on them. I apologize for the poor picture qualities, I was just using my cell phone.

Lush Dream Cream 

My very first post on this blog was about my 1st Lush purchase and that was when I got the Dream Cream. I wasn't too into the scent at first but starting to like it more with regular uses. It is moisturizing but didn't do anything for my eczema like everyone said it will. 

Is this the best body moisturizer I have ever use? Probably not... I have found a much cheaper drugstore moisturizer that gives me amazing hydration and I will honestly have to say I like that one better in terms of what it does to my skin. 

Lush Dream Cream is definitely more luxurious (for the price of around $25 CAD), and will I repurchase? Ummm, maybe~ I do like it, but the price point puts me off... 

Biore pore unclogging scrub

I bought this because I saw hollyannaeree used this product in her skincare routine. It contains 2% salicylic acid and it's for blemish prone skin.
To me, it feels more like a cleanser with beads than a scrub. Plus, I think those beads are a little bit too big to clean your pores. I would rather it doesn't have those exfoliating beads.
I don't know if it has improved my skin condition. I am still breaking out (not that I expect it to cure my acnes). I have to say though it is pretty gentle. I didn't realize this until recently because I am using the Neutrogena acne wash, which also has 2% salicylic acid but the Neutrogena one sometimes makes my face feel like burning....=(



St. Ives Apricot Scrub

Yes, another scrub. =) Because I don't actually use this on my face. I use it as a body scrub. I learnt this from my fellow housemate and this scrub is so affordable that I can apply plenty on my body. It works pretty well as a body scrub. My skin does feel softer after using it, but the result is probably not too long-lasting.











Have you tried these products? Do you like them? =)

Just some rambling~

It is freezing cold in the library...!!! The AC is way too strong!!! And yes, I'm stuck in the library studying for my final exam tomorrow while the weather outside is just beautiful~~~~~~

Took a study break outdoor~ =)

I want to blog for so many things but I just couldn't find anytime at all to squeeze in blogging... first of all, I got my June Loose Button Luxe Box last Friday and I was so happy!!! Mainly because it includes a FULL SIZE LAURA MERCIER EYESHADOW!!!!!!!=D Isn't that the coolest thing ever?? The eye shadow alone retails for $22..~!!!! It totally made my day~~~~~

Second of all, I've used up some products recently and really want to do some mini reviews on them! Well, and not to mention, some hauls..??! =P

Anyways, nothing is gonna happen until my exams and assignments are done.....><

Or, maybe I can squeeze in another study break?? =P

Love,
Lorraine & Po Po

P.S. And it's my brother's convocation today~ Congratulations, bro~ =)

My 1st Loose Button Luxe Box

I finally got my Loose Button Luxe Box in the mail last week!! There must be something wrong with Canada Post or my apartment, because seems like I can never receive stuffs in the mail without any delay or troubles...-.-

Anyhow, let's jump into the box!! Right off the back, I will have to say I LOVE it~ =) I haven't tried anything from the box yet, but I think it is very worthwhile to keep subscribing. The packaging is so nice and I especially like the ribbon on the box.

I got 4 products in my box this month, and as I said, I haven't tried any of them yet. But here are some of my first thoughts:

1. Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant (13 g, 0.45 oz.) 
- Wow, I'm so excited to get to try Dermalogica, a brand that I've always wanted to try!!
- Honestly, this is such a deluxe sample. I don't think you need too much each time. This sample could last me forever!!
- This is a powder exfoliant and it contains no artificial fragrance or colour. Can be used daily.

2. China Glaze Mini Nail Polish (9.6 ml) 
- in RECYCLE (a dark grey colour)
- This in indeed my 1st China Glaze nail polish. Thanks Loose Button~ =)

3. Consonant Body Organic Olive Oil Body Soap (112g) 
- I think I have heard about this brand before on youtube, but not too sure... I'm not too familiar with this brand, but I think it is based at Toronto.
- I think this is a FULL SIZE product, unless their regular soaps are gigantic.
- It has a slight clean scent, and the ingredients are extremely simple: Organic Olea Europaea Fruit Oil, Aqua, Organic Beeswax, Glycerin
- I am usually not a soap person, I prefer body wash way more... I have tried Lush's soap before and I didn't like it.. =( I think in general soaps are very drying and I have dry, eczema skin. I don't know what I am going to do with it yet. Maybe I will give it a try or give it away.


4. Elizabeth Grant Biocollasis Complex Day Serum (10 ml) 
- an anti-aging day serum
- I actually don't have much thoughts regarding this, I might give it to my mum to try. I don't have too much experience with anti-aging products yet.

P.S. There is also a small piece of chocolate, which I think is from Hershey's? =S

H&M Blazer

I love this blazer but I couldn't find my size before and today, I was lucky enough to find a size 2 and a size 4 on the rack!!! If there wasn't a size 2, I will probably go with the size 4. But it ended up the size 2 fits me even better~

I felt like these official pictures do not really reflect the beauty of the blazer. I think it looks much prettier in person than in these pictures. Maybe I should try to take a picture of me wearing it. =P
I actually did wear it today to an event. I am totally those people that cannot wait to wear new stuffs immediately!! And this blazer might look familiar to you if you watch youtube videos because I think I have seen a few girls showing this blazer in their haul videos~

Speaking of haul, I really wanted to do some haul posts since I shop crazily recently.....-.- But stupid Forever21 or Purolator messed up my shipment and then now my package is nowhere to be found!!!! It arrived at my city but I never got a notice and then within a few days they sent the package back? And then Forever21 said they don't have it...? I am really disappointed and don't really know what to do except waiting for them to get back to me.....><

Alrighty, it is kinda insane that I'm blogging at 4:30a.m.... Just because I messed up my nails and I have to re-do them.... Good night~!!!!!!

Love,
Lorraine & Po Po

Forever 21 Order... A Break from Studying??

Almost there, almost there!!! 2 more exams to go and then I am done!!!
These 2 exams are really stressful because they are back-to-back - 1 tomorrow night and then the other 1 the next morning... Not to mention this is a 1-year-course....-_______-
Sigh... I'm really not feeling great for these 2 exams... (fingers crossed!!!!><)

Anyhow, during this whole exam period I have been visiting the Forever21 website whenever I take study breaks and of course, I have been playing the game of adding "stuffs" into the cart and then decide if I really like them. An epic failure... I ended up really liking some of the items but I was hesitating to place my order. Well, then I realized some of the items "disappear" from my cart@@!! Of course they are out of size/stock!!!!>< I never knew that things can be sold out that quickly on Forever21's website (and I also learnt my lesson from Kate Spade...) and thus, I HAVE PLACED MY MASSIVE ORDER TODAY =D (I'm kinda hoping this smiling face will make myself feel better because this is such a huge shopping spree... my bank account for sure is not happy with it.)

I have never ordered/bought that many stuffs from Forever21 before. I usually ended up only getting 2-3 items from each trip if I made a purchase. But I am so excited this time since I think I have stocked up my Spring/Summer wardrobe with some varieties~ Hopefully they will fit me well!!!

Until then, I should really get back to study................

Love,
Lorraine & Po Po

Loose Button Luxe Box!!!

I just purchased my first Loose Button Luxe Box!!! =)
Cheers, finally something for us Canadian~!!!
I'm so excited and cannot wait to receive it. The shipment date will be the week of May 9th. I guess I will have something to look forward for the first week of Summer classes~

Certainly will update when I get my first box in the mail, stay tuned~ =)

Love,

My Beauty Wishlist

1. Clarisonic Mia Pink 

To be honest, I wasn't really thrilled when the Clarisonic first came out and received so much hype. But I just have been hearing so many great feedbacks of it and I have been struggling with small bumps on my face for the longest time and nothing will work!!! =( 

A beauty blogger recently also suggested me to try the Clarisonic for the bumps problem I have and this convinces me even more to try out the Clarisonic!!! 

And.... I am so in love with this baby pink version!! Not only it supports breast cancer research, pink is my favourite colour!!! 

Should I invest??? It priced at $149, but it is more than that because you will have to replace the brush head every 3-4 months and I think each brush head is $25. This is certainly a long-term investment...... 

2. Urban Decay Naked Palette 

Okay, I guess I need not to say anything about this Palette. Ever since I heard about it on Youtube, I just want to get it so badly!!!! BUT, IT IS JUST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND THEM!!!!!!!!!>< 

Although people said that they are back on racks again, I'm not sure if this is also the case in Canada... Oh, and here in Canada, it's priced at $58 at Sephora (versus $48 in the US). 

3. Sephora Professional Platinum Blush Brush #49 

I wanted to try this Sephora brush line because I saw missglamorazzi on Youtube constantly reaching for a blush brush from the same line. However, I think the one she has in particular is no longer available. I do not have an angled brush like that and I figured I can probably use it to apply blush/highlights. 

4. Shiseido Softener (Toners) 

I am running low on toner and I have been eyeing the Shiseido line. I remember I received samples of the Shiseido softeners before and my skin really did feel softer with that 1-2 uses. 

However, I am really debating which one I should get... 

- The Skincare Hydro-Balancing Softener $35 

- Pureness Balancing Softener $24 

- White Lucent Brightening Balancing Softener Enriched $48 

I would really love to try to Hydro-Balancing one but since we are starting to enter Spring/Summer months, I am afraid that it will be too rich. But at the same time, I do not really have oily skin (well, maybe combination?) so I am not sure if the Pureness Balancing Softener will work for me. And last but not least, Asians just LOVE everything about "Brightening" or "Whitening". But the White Lucent line is significantly pricier and how much can a toner do to brighten up my skin? 

I will definitely update if I have purchased any items from the above list!! =) 

Love,

Bad Hair Day (featuring Po Po)

Po Po has bad hair day too, haha!! 
I'm sorry Po Po, I know this is the first post on this blog about you and I should have introduced you with a pretty picture. =P

Questionnaire

Allison (a.k.a Amarixe on youtube) was what inspired me to start this blog, her Monday Questionnaires to be specific!! I just thought it was so fun to read and I'm finally answering them as well~!!! =D 


Link to Allison's blog: 
http://www.amarixe.com/


P.S. I really like her~!!! (I hope this doesn't sound creepy =P )




1.) Mood:
Still feeling tired and so not ready for meetings and night class...-.- 
 2.) Do you take vitamins every day?
Nope. 

3.) Do you prefer sweet (chocolate/sugar) or salty (chips, etc.) type snacks? 
I actually prefer salty I think. I do crave for French fries and chips... I know, they are bad. And I know I'm a weirdo, but I don't really like sweet things. For most of the time, I just think they are too sweet. 

4.) Current nail polish:
Nothing. I know this is boring, but I actually can't wear nail polish for most of the time because of my volunteering position. And I was never a huge fan of nail polish to start with. But recently, nude colours are really getting onto me! 

5.) What color are the walls of your bedroom? 
Creme white? I didn't choose it, it comes with the apartment and I don't think I'm allow to change it. But in my previous apartment, my bf was so sweet and painted it pink for me while I was away. A huge surprise!!! 



6.) Do you like to cook at home or are you more of a take-out person?
Definitely cook at home!!! More healthy and also save money~ 

7.) Current outfit? 
Embarrassingly, I'm still in my sleep wear - Victoria's Secret Flannel Sleep Shirt. 
 
8.) What is your favorite television program?
Ummm, I'm not sure if I have a favourite now. But I am watching Gossip Girl and Project Runway. 

9.) Can you do a cartwheel?
No...too hard for me I guess. 

10.) Weekly goals: 
Plan my Summer courses. Not to be late. And work on all those little annoying "administrative" things of my life. 

HAUL!!!

So I was at Walmart yesterday and I totally went wild and bought a bunch of stuffs (beauty products, to be specific...-.-). Of course I am so excited and can't wait to share with the world~!!!=D 


Where should I start? Ummm, how about Hard Candy! 

 

I just knew recently that Hard Candy is a sister company of Urban Decay and that just makes me even more excited!! I have been wanting to try Hard Candy's stuffs and I actually saw their primer yesterday. I was so tempted to buy that but then I told myself:" You don't need a PRIMER! You already have a sunblock that works as a PRIMER!" I'm glad that I did stop myself from reaching the primer, but obviously, this voice of mine stopped working shortly... 

Anyways, back to Hard Candy! So I picked up 2 of their blushes - Blush Crush Baked Blush, in #125 living doll (back) and #127 honeymoon (front). I adore their packaging! 

Next, 

I have been wanting to try more of Ecotools' brushes and I picked up the powder brush and deluxe concealer brush. The powder brush is just so soft! 

I also picked up a smudge brush from Spa Resources. I've never tried any brushes from them but I think they have completely re-packaged all of their brushes and I just happened to need a smudge eye brush. I will have to say, their new packaging is pretty much "copying" BOBBI BROWN's. 

Actually, I just realized this is my very first Cover Girl product!@@ 

A single eye shadow - #760 tapestry taupe. 

I just love neutrals!! =) 

I tried this on today and I think I like it! 

I like how it could be worn alone and still be very pretty because usually I don't have time for more than 1 eye shadow...-.- 

Here it comes Maybelline!!! I think Maybelline is the very first drug store brand that I use and I still like them a lot! After hearing rumors that the Dream Mousse Concealer is discontinuing, I just can't wait to pick it up! And of course, I got distracted and also picked up the Dream Smooth Mousse Foundation. It is a cream-whipped foundation and it is so creamy!!! I also picked up 2 of their Dream Mousse Blush - Pink Frosting and Rose Petal. I wasn't too much of a blush person before, but recently I am starting to get into it and therefore I want to try different blushes. 

Maybelline mascara has always been my love. I was going to pick up this new One By One mascara later because I have so many mascaras sitting in my cabinet. (I am a mascara junkie...-.-) However, when I saw the price tag at Walmart, OK, I just have to pick it up NOW and then use it LATER. =P (It's so much cheaper!!) 


Then last but not least, I've also decided to try out this Garnier Nutritioniste Skin Renew Anti-Dark-Circle Roller. This is the one with concealing effects. I've never tried any eye rollers before so I'm excited to try this out! =) 


So that's it, haha, ya, I told you I went wild...

Irreplaceable Taste

This is a lifelong addiction. 
An irreplaceable taste. 
It is VITA Lemon Tea Drink. 

This is a habit that I carried on from HK. When I first moved to Canada, I was forced to wean on it as it was not available to me. However, last year my friend got me hook up to it again!!! It is such a comforting drink to me. I just cannot stop myself from reaching the fridge...... 

Then this year, I've moved to a new city and I haven't found any places selling it. I stocked up 2 boxes of Lemon Tea Drink and was very satisfied whenever I check my cupboard. 

Good times always come to an end. I am sipping the second last carton while typing this blog post... What should I do without u??? 

I'm on a Coca-Cola Kick!

Yes, I'm on a total kick of this little red thing...... 

I purposely picked up these 100 calories cans instead of the regular ones, not because I'm on diet or what so ever, but simply due to the fact that the more I make it available to me, the more I will drink. -.- (oh, and aren't these little ones cuter??) 

Extra calories is one thing, more to add are added sugars, caffeine, phosphoric acid...you name it! Not trying to say we should all just avoid it, but drinking them on a regular basis is certainly not a good thing. 

Anyhow, I hope this kick is coming to an end soon.......-.-

Project Pan (?)

Happy Chinese New Year!!! It is the year of Rabbit!!! My year, haha =] 

(Adorable! Came across this during google search!)

What is better than starting a year with a project pan? 
Now, I think technically this is not really a project pan because I think this term is used to describe "finishing up make-up products" and to be honest, none of these products are make-ups. However, I am still gonna name it "project pan" because I think you can modify the rules? haha XD 


Anyways, this all starts with the fact that I always have some sorts of "back-up" products sitting in my bathroom and quite often, I will use them for a while, and then switch to some other new products because I just could NOT resist the temptations!!! (sales, new formulas....you name it!!!) >< And the cycle goes on and on...... So as a result, I could never finish up any products!!!!! 


Not only this is such a waste of $$$, I really do need to clear up some of my "stocks" (so that I can go and try new products again =P ). 


My Rules: 
- I have to use up products from the same category until there is no more "back-ups" 
- I could only purchase products for the categories that have no "back-ups" 
- Includes bath & body products, hair products, skin care, face products
(I didn't include make-ups because I really don't have too many, and I don't think I could ever use up an eye shadow?!!) 




In fact, my project pan has reached 11 products a few days ago!!! YEAH~~~~ 
Well, the main reason is that most of these products were running low to start with. =P But they count, right?? Now I can finally remove them from my bathroom! 


Quick list: 
1) LUX crystal diamond shampoo 
2) LUX crystal diamond conditioner 
3) Olay body wash + creme ribbons with almond oil 
4) Bioderma Hydrabio moisturising toning lotion 
5) Curel itch defense advanced ceramide therapy 
6) Vaseline problem skin therapy 
7) L'Oreal gentle waterproof eye and lip makeup remover 
8) Tenosix Acne Blemish Cream 
9) Dr. Swiss BB Skin Power White Serum 
10) Laneige Water Bank Cream 1_EX
11) Missha cleansing oil (?) <-- the writings were all washed off and I don't know the exact product name 




I'm feeling so good now~ =D 




P.S. I cracked today and bought some nail polishes, 1 mascara, 1 eye shadow and a body wash. I have no more "back-ups" for body wash so I think it's okay for my to buy 1? And I got this because it's on clearance for $2.49!!!

My First Lush Purchase!

Finally I have decided to do my first blog post here!! 
I have been wanting to post something here but then wasn't sure what kind of posts should I do??  
I honestly am not too sure at this point yet, haha, but I guess we'll see~ =P 


So this Lush purchase was actually made back in December and I will have to admit that I've never shopped at Lush before...-.- I didn't care too much about Lush until I have seen so many you-tubers raving about Lush! To me, it almost seems like "loving Lush" is a requirement to do beauty-related videos. Then of course, how could I resist the temptation especially when there is a Lush store in town???? =P 

The four products I have purchased are 1)Eau Roma Water (Toner) 2)Dream Wash 3)Dream Cream 4)Ocean Salt. 

Unfortunately, I ended up returning Dream Wash and Ocean Salt and I have only used both of them once. I don't usually return products especially when it comes to beauty-related stuffs because I just feel bad (and also for the fact that I think most of the places won't let you do so? I'm actually not too sure about this because I have heard so many you-tubers saying that they return mascara from drugstores etc. and to me, the package is opened and you can still do that???@@). 

And I really wanted to like Dream Wash because it basically has the same scent as Dream Cream and I love every single ingredients in it! However, for some reason, it just gave my skin a tight feeling? It's the typical feeling you get when you use a piece of soap and I just don't like that! The texture of it is really creamy though. 

And as for the Ocean Salt, I simply just think it's too abrasive for my face. My skin can get quite sensitive so it is just better to avoid giving it extra stress. =P 

As far as the Dream Cream and Eau Roma Water go, I am still testing them out and can't really say much about them for now. But I would say the Eau Roma Water smells pretty good and there's no alcohol in it which is one of my concerns when choosing a toner. It's also quite gentle and get absorbed pretty fast.  

Well, I guess that's all I have to say for now~ 

Can't believe it is already the end of January!!! 

Love,
