I received this package to try from ChickAdvisor. As far as hand softening systems go, this one's pretty decent. I'm not sure how much it does to heal your hands and dry skin, but it definitely does a good job exfoliating and softening your hands as a whole.
It's a 3 step system.
The Extra Emollient Cream is supposed to soften up calluses and loosen dead skin cells. The Satin Smoothie Hand Scrub is meant to exfoliate the hands. Apparently the whiter the product turns, the dryer your skin is. Lastly, the hand moisturizer is meant to, well, keep your hands moisturized.
My hands felt very soft and smooth afterwards, but I have to admit, I'm not crazy over the smell. It's supposed to be a very neutral scent but to me it smells somewhat medicated... which if it is so I guess is good for you. Other than that, the product worked great on my dry skin.
It's meant to be used only once a week so will last for a while.

I was given this teeth whitening system to try.
The foam system is quite ingenious and is supposed better for your teeth than the usual white strips.
After brushing your teeth regularly, you are supposed to pump formulas 1 and 2 onto your toothbrush and brush again for 1 minute. This is done twice a day for 1 month, after which you use the maintenance formula (sold separately) that lasts up to 3 months.
The foam did give me that clean "just came home from the dentist" feeling, and kept my teeth shiny with minimal plaque after an entire day. It is a really great feeling.
The biggest thing I have against this product is that because I have quite sensitive gums, brushing my teeth four times a day made them irritated and swell a bit, and it hurt to brush my teeth for a while. I used it on and off for a bit because of this.
My teeth are pretty white to begin with, so I don't think I saw much of a difference, but it might just be because the change is so gradual that you don't notice. I really do love that clean feeling though, and will continue to use it!

I really like this lip tint because it goes on smoothly for even coverage. I was given the Rose color to try and it compliments my olive skin. The amount of color it gives looks completely natural and it smells amazing!
Some cons are that the size of the lip balm is the same of any regular Burt's Bees lip balm, which makes it a little harder to be precise when working with the corners of the mouth. It'd be perfect if they made it thinner.

I was given Tzarine to try and I absolutely love it! The steel grey and beige make a great pair. The grey color has gold pigments infused within, so it compliments the light beige perfectly. These colors can create the perfect red-carpet look. The colors are very long-lasting and don't slide around at all. Definitely worth every penny! -

I was given the Lip Kiss Crayon Gloss in Melon Twist to try. I believe it's part of Lise Watier's Jingle Belle Winter 2010 Collection. Melon Twist is a very bright cherry red color with red/fuchsia flecks infused in.
The lip balm claims to be "ultra shine and moisturizing", and it really does do both. Personally the sparkle's a little too much for me. It is a great festive look, but for normal wear it's a little too much. It definitely does moisturize though, but feels a bit waxy on the lips.

I can't go anywhere without my iPod Touch! I really love how you can play games and do things on it rather than only listen to music.
Tip: Always update your iPod whenever one comes out. I didn't do any updates for a while and my Touch got a little messed up. Also, I think you can do much more with it too if you buy a set of ear phones with the mic. Of course that's depending what you use your touch for :)

The first time I tried Spring Rolls I thought it was too overpriced, but the food turned out okay! I think we're paying more for the atmosphere than for the food! The Phad Thai is quite good, but nothing REALLY that much different than other Thai restaurants, but I still like it for how classy you feel just being there. -

Clairol's new Color Blend Foam allows you to dye your hair easily with no mess and full coverage. This is an intuitive formula that turns into foam after you mix the two chemical components together. The foam creates 6x the amount of volume of standard liquid hair dye and will be available in 26 shades starting February 2011.
The application is easy - it's like rubbing foam through your hair, and it allows for up to 8 weeks of coverage. It can even battle tough grays.
It took me half the time it takes to dye my hair normally (although that could be because I had shorter hair). For sure I could worry less about the dye dripping everywhere and having to comb the dye through my hair evenly. The foam fills in all crevices so you can rest assured that you've covered everything you need. It was fun, easy, and my hair was nice and soft afterwards!
I will definitely recommend this to my mother who is always having trouble getting the grays on the back of her head!
PS. for long haired people, you will only need 1 box or 2 boxes at the most to cover everything!

CJ Lunch Box
CJ Lunch Box is the best place to get a quick sushi lunch around here. My favorite is the smoked salmon tempura roll. The workers there are all so friendly and are always smiling :) makes you want to go back.

This khol eyeliner did not agree with my eyes at all. I have asian eyes that fold in more, so it's hard to find eyeliners that won't smudge after a day's wear. However, this eyeliner smudged off after an hour or two and after a day of wearing it, disappeared. It left me pretty frustrated. I know my eyes have a lot to do with how well the liners stay on, but I've definitely tried better. -
