Hiatus

Hey there! I'll be away for a week!  And guess what, I've bought L'Occitane's Bergamot Tea handcream! muahaha... shall write about it when I'm back =)

Pearl Drops Extra Whitening FreshMint Toothpaste

I tend to use darlie, but in the recent years, I find that the normal darlie does not really produce any good results for my teeth.  Hence when I saw this toothpaste at Watson, I thought, why don't I give it a try?  No harm right?  Well, so here's the feedback from using it.

Does it work?  I guess it does to a certain extent.  I can see my coffee stains lessen, but that's pretty much it.  But for the price I paid, I did expect it to do a bit more than just removing my coffee stain (RM15.90 for it!).  But I guess it would be an experience.

I guess when you do buy this product, you got to bear in mind that there's no way it will whiten your teeth to the extend like those models who modeled for a whitening toothpaste.  It does/may reduce the colour of your teeth my one shade, but that's all for me.

Anyway, I doubt I will repeat this purchase again, not that it does not work, but it is very pricey for a toothpaste.

Facial Waxing ~ Miss Wax Away

Do you do waxing?  I find that waxing my upper lips helps to ensure that it looks clean and tidy, so I do it every so often, or whenever I do travel for a holiday =)

The brand that I use is Miss Wax Away by ElegantTouch.  I find that it is handy to use and it is quite good in removing the hair from my upper lips.  The one I use is the Mini Wax Strip range, with a total of 20 easy to use; formulate for sensitive skin.  Well, I always believe that the skin on our face is delicate and thus, I use this range.

Well, if it's your first time, I guess the pain's there, but after a while you do get used to it.  However, do take note that you cannot re-wax on one spot too many times because this will cause your skin to be reddish.  Worse still, it may injure your face!  Main thing is to ensure minimal waxing time on one spot, and it helps if you ensure that your skin is taunt.  You'll get a hang of it when you do it a few times.

What I love about this is:

1. Simple to use
It is as simple as peeling it and sticking it to your face!  What more can you ask for?

2. Clean
It's not like those messy hot wax whereby you need to heat it up, and may cause your fingers to be sticky.  Worse is when droplets of it falls on your table or even the floor. Urgh, hate the idea of needing to find ways to clean up the after waxing mess.  Trust me, it's no fun!

3. Handy
These mini strips are small enough to the point where you can bring it around with you and it continues to be discreet in your bag!  What's more, each of the strips are sticking to each other.  So you would only need to bring with you two strips rather than the whole box.  You can also keep it nicely inside your make up bag without worrying whether it will mess things up in your bag.

CrabTree & Evelyn Rosewater Hand Therapy

As I mentioned a few days ago, I received Crabtree & evelyn Rosewater Hand Therapy as a present from a friend. I was really excited and was pretty much making a lot of noise to show my excitement! Haha, I know... I do find that Crabtree & Evelyn's products to be quite expensive and thus, most of the time I would just do some window shopping rather than buying the actual product. 

Viola! I got it as a gift.  Okay, here's the review.

If you are a person who likes floral scent, you would love this rosewater hand cream.  As for me, a person who don't really fancy floral scent, I find the rosewater smell is good.  It is not too strong, nor too light.  It does give you a very easy going feeling and I find that it makes me feel soothing whilst I was applying it.

It does have Shea Butter in it, but not as much as L'Occitane's En Provence Handcream I guess, cause it doesn't feel too oily, but yet, it gives ample nourishment.  Trust me one shea butter handcream from L'Occitane, but in terms of the absorbtion level, I find that Crabtree & Evelyn's score well.  

It's quite a small bottle, at 25ml, but you just need to squeeze very little for it to nourish your whole hands.  In overall, I quite like this product.  A good item to have with you when you travel, given it's size.
