Kérastase Elixir Ultime Precious Oil Leave-In Haircare Treatment
Good oil if you can get it at discount. Not sure I would buy it at full retail price. I got mine from l'Oreal warehouse sale so it was even cheaper! So many hair oils out there. I will probably try out other brands before repurchasing this.

Biggest mistake from me listening to the brand representative and not my own instincts. Indeed, this sinks into the skin well (probably due to the high alcohol content) and it has a soothing herbal scent to it. But after a week of using it after my cleansing step, it broke me out. My skin did feel a little bit smoother but it is not worth the price of drying out my skin and breaking me out. For me, this is equivalent of buying an expensive alcoholic toner... -

I wasn't sure which color to pick when I was shopping for this item but knowing the clumsy side of me, I decided to go with the navy color. It is a see through piece yet comfortable so I recommend wearing your skin's bra color under. My favorite feature of this clothing item is the sleeves: they definitely give off the 70s vibes and I love it! I paired it with a red skirt to celebrate the fall season!
I would recommend this item to those who don't mind showing a bit of skin and who likes to the 70s fashion!
I received this item for free from Maison Simons and Chickadvisor but all opinions are of my own. Thank you Maison Simons and Chickadvisor for this amazing opportunity!

When I was shopping this item, I was debating which color to pick at the beginning but I'm glad I chose the millennium pink color! Everytime I wore it, I got compliments and someone even asked me where the item was from on the streets!
The textile feels nice and the fit was loose on me with a XS which I don't mind since I'm normally a XXS. You just got to be careful and read the labels before you wash it :)
I would highly recommend this item to those who want loose fitted bombers with a nice feel.

I already use Nivea in-shower body lotion before trying this out. Indeed this body lotion is fast absorbing into the skin since it is not a thick cream based one. The scent is subtle but lingers for quite awhile so for those who are very scent sensitive, you might not like this. I definitely saw my skin more hydrated during the period of time I tested this product. In conjunction with the Q10 body oil, it definitely made the hydration effect longer. However, I think I prefer the in-shower body lotion over this one because I don't like my shower routine to be too long. I already have an extensive skincare routine for my face so I prefer to simplify my time spent for my body as much as possible.

I am always looking for a good hand cream and it would make my day if it is an affordable one! I actually like this hand cream for the following reasons: 1.no sticky feeling after application, 2. light subtle scent without overwhelming you, and 3. fast absorption into the skin! However, I see the alcohol is pretty up high in the list of ingredients so this might be for everyone especially for those who are into green beauty. I tend to avoid beauty products for my face with high alcohol content in them but my hands seem to react to them well so far for the past two weeks. I will have to finish this bottle of hand cream to confirm if I would actually purchase it myself or if the long term benefits are worth ignoring the alcohol content of this product.

I'm a big fan of oils for my face so when I heard Nivea was releasing a body oil, I was happy to try this product with excitement! This product claims to provide multiple benefits while keeping the skin hydrated and to reduce the look of stretchmarks. For the past two weeks, I did notice my skin well hydrated but I cannot vouch for the stretchmarks because I don't think I have any. The oil has a light subtle scent (but nothing overwhelming) and it absorbs fairly quickly into the skin! No sticky residue! I would recommend this body oil to those who dislike thick body creams like me! Plus, it is pretty affordable (under 15$). I probably would purchase it in the future if I don't find any better replacement in the market.

I still have not found a product I love from the Face Shop so I was intrigued to try if this would make it in my list. I am not a fan of nose strips but this was not as painful to remove as I anticipated it to be. Maybe it was my application that went wrong, but I did put a warm cloth on my nose prior use. There was not much pores removed on the strip after fifteen minutes or maybe I do not have much blackheads from the start. However, I did notice my nose being baby smooth soft after washing off the leftover residue with water. To reduce the appearance of my blackheads/pores, I still prefer using the combination of actives such as BHA, clay mask and oil cleanser to do so. I would recommend this product only to those who have a thick skin nose because the process is definitely not for everyone. Unfortunately, the search for a good TFS product for my skin still goes on. -

I actually like this shampoo a lot. I used a sample of this during my recent business travel and I did not regret bringing it with me. As someone who only wash her hair twice a week, this left me with hydrated and smooth hair without the need of adding a conditioner afterwards. However, I tried looking for it in my local drugstore and came back home unsuccessful. When I like a product and cannot repurchase it myself later on, I cringe. Good for my wallet but not for my hair. If you live or pass by the United States, I would recommend checking this brand out. Both Walmart and Ulta carry this haircare line. Did I mention this shampoo is just under ten dollars? Affordable and reliable shampoo? Sign me up! -
