skin care product review: Lush Ros Argan body conditioner

Hi Everyone,
I hope your doing well and enjoying the spring weather, today I will be reviewing Lush Ros Argan body conditioner. Ever since I found out I was pregnant I have been more obsessed with taking care of my skin. I want to avoid getting stretch marks on my body so I have been trying to make sure my skin is well moisturized. We were at lush a few weeks ago and I was very much intrigued by this body conditioner, it contains argan oil and I love rose oil I figured why not give it a try

Product Claims:
Luxurious rose-scented shower lotion for the softest skin that ever was

LUSH product inventor Rowena made this decadent, rose-scented shower ‘lotion' – so it's Ro's Argan Body Conditioner which very conveniently sounds like Rose Argan Body Conditioner. She noticed how much she liked the sultry soft feeling conditioner gives her hair, so she thought how nice it would be if she could have the same feeling for the body too. With scoops of cocoa butter, cupuacu butter, almond oil and Argan oils, this is the most luxurious body softener that ever was (if we don't say so ourselves!). After washing up, slather yourself all over with this new invention. Rinse, pat dry and revel in supremely soft, rose-scented skin.

Features

• Absolute Bliss: Wash with Turkish Delight Shower Smoothie before conditioning with Ro's Argan Body Conditioner for the ultimate in shower luxury.
• Moroccan treasure: Argan oil is incredibly softening on the skin and has been used in Morocco for hundreds of years.
• Smooth moves: Use this at night before you put on your pajamas and sink into slumber with soft, rose-scented skin.

lip product review: L'Oreal Colour Riche Caresse wet shine stain

Hi Everyone

I hope your doing well, today I will be reviewing the L'Oreal colour riche caress wet shine stain. I heard so much rave reviews about this product that I was curious to try. I heard that this is a dupe for the YSL glossy stain so that made even more determined to find this product

I bought the color 183 Pink Resistance on the tube it looks like a light shimmery mauve pink. When I tried it on, the gloss just looked like my natural lip color. It looked like it would go well with very dramatic make up or a natural make up. A few hours passed and the gloss changed into a slightly reddish color on my lips which is super cool. Even though the gloss wore off I still had color on my lips.

tear shaped applicator

The gloss itself is has a really good texture, it's neither too sticky or too slick on the lips. There is a wide range of color to choose from. It's very comfortable on the lips and as the gloss wears off there is still color that's left on your lips. The applicator is really good as well, it's this unique tear shaped applicator.

Unfortunately I had a bad reaction with the gloss. After a few days of using the gloss I noticed my lips felt very thick I didn't think anything of this I just swiped on some lip balm and that made it feel better. The next day it got worse my lips very thick again and this time I checked on my mirror and my lips were peeling. I've had dry lips before but it didn't feel thick like this one. I had large pieces of skin flaking off my lips.
As much as I like the product I can't recommend it because I had such a bad reaction to it.

SKIN CARE review: Avene clean-ac moisturizer

Product Experience


I usually use this moisturizer in the morning, what I do after my usual cleansing routine I dot on my supergoop serum let that dry a bit then dot this all over my face. Then gently massage this in.

sample of the product

Pros:
Fragrance free
Feels very light on the skin but it is very moisturizing but doesn't leave you greasy
Non-comadogenic
Great for people who have sensitive skin or acne prone skin
Great under make up or layering other products

Cons:
Doesn't have any SPF
Expensive I paid $25 for a small tube 40 ml 1.35 fl oz
As far as I know only available online or Europe.

I like this moisturizer, when I was shopping at yesstyle.com I needed a lighter moisturizer to layer under make up etc. I like that this feels very light on the skin but it is still very moisturizing. I don't feel any tight and dry spots on my skin. I'm on the fence about recommending this product because it's expensive and it is hard to find. I think Avene is a french skin care line available on in Europe or online.

HAIR product review: regis design line ultimate radiance leave in contioner

Hi Everyone,
I hope your having a wonderful day, today I will review the Regis salon brand Design Line Ultimate Radiance leave in conditioning styler. Wow that's a mouth full but I went to get a hair cut a Regis salon a few months ago. When my stylist during my consutation noticed the ends of my hair were fried. I know your thinking I use hear styling a lot. The truth is I don't use heat styling, I mainly reserve that for special occasion. So what's up with the major damage I blame it on improper use of of a curling iron. I know your think if too you already have curly hair. But the curling iron is for controlled curl :)

Anyway my stylist recommend that I use leave in conditioner. She suggested it's a 10 brand or the regis brand. The same price you just get a little more product for regis brand.

Product claims:
It is a protective, energizing, youth restoring leave in conditioner. A conditioning styler infused with aloe Vera and sea shell protein to help reconstruct hair from heat and environmental damage. Instantly detangled and boost moisture, softness and shine while adding body. Also helps prevent color fading.

Product experience:
After you have washed your hair and towel dried your hair. Just spritz this conditioner all over your head. On top the sides, I like to saturate the ends as much as it will absorb. I like to separate my hair in to two sections spritz some more. After that I just run my hands through my hair making sure the product is evenly distributed and then the I start scrunching my hair. This a nice scent a very light coconut scent. I don't like coconut scents.

Pros:
To be honest I have a love hate feelings toward the spray bottle. I like it because it delivers a nice even application of the product.
The product is thick enough to coat my hair with out weighing it down.
I like the clear bottle
Price

Cons
The spray nozzle, my fingers get tired then after a few spritzes the button becomes greasy.
Can only be purchased at Regis Salon

It's a good product but I think you can find products that does the same thing at the drugstore. You don't need to buy this specific product at Regis salon.

Website review: Sasa.com

Hi Everyone,

I hope your having a wonderful Here is another website review in my quest of find Asian beauty products at a good deal. A lot youtube beauty gurus raves reputable website that cater to asian beauty products, but they don't really tell you how the service is with this website. It maybe reputable but it also comes with headaches as I have learned ordering through other websites.

So today I will be reviewing Sasa.com

Signing up

Just like other websites it's easy to sign up with this website, just click on the link sign up and you just need to fill out a form that asks for basic information like name, billing address and shipping address, etc. After you finished filling up the form just wait for the response email and start shopping. Also with this website signing up is no longer necessary. You can go through PayPal to order and pay for any items.

Products, prices and then some

Sasa has a wide range of beauty items-products from make up, skin care, body care and hair care. Sasa also has products for men and children they also have diet/slimming products and accessories. The products here are some what cheaper but I notice the company doesn't carry the full range of products from each specific brand which was some what annoying.They have the popular brands such as Naruko, Etude house, laniege etc.
The price and sale in this website is very competitive, silk whitia is has buy one get one free deal, some products are  heavily discounted.

My haul

Sasa.com was having a sale so I bought a bunch of silk whitia masks for the eyes and entire face they had a buy one get one sale so I bought the Q10 elastic tightening mask.

Shipping and handling

Unfortunately I didn't met the $75 minimum purchase to obtain the free shipping. The shipping rate for the US residents with a minimum order of under USD $75 is $6 for 7 to 14 days. Anything over USD $75 is free shipping for 5 to 7 days.

I'm quite disappointed with the shipping, it is on the slow side and the products are shipped via  Hong kong postal service and then will be later transfered to USPS. I had a hard time tracking my package.


Customs and Tax

When ordering from sasa.com you are considered the importer of record and must comply with all the laws and requirements of the country in which you are receiving the items. Your orders may be subject to import duties and/or taxes and any additional charges for custom clearance must be borne by you.

You will be charged an international coventry charge, which is a few dollars.

winter beauty haul/ gifts for myself :)

Hi Everyone,

I hope your all doing well today I will be just posting a haul, I had meant to post this last month but forgot because I was super busy with family gatherings anyway here what I had picked up.

Ambi fade cream and aveeno undereye cream

Drugstore

Ambi fade cream for oily skin I heard about this product on a magazine article I have a few spots, hyperpigmentation that just won't go away I'm very much interested in trying this out.

Aveeno positvely raidiant eye cream I'm always looking for under eye creams. I don't need one that is very hydrating since I get this little white bumps under my eye. I read an article a few years ago saying that those white bumps are due to very hydrating eye creams. So I stay away from really thick undereye creams but lately I have noticed a lot of undereye circles showing up so it's back to testing again.

Finally I have been wanting to try lush for a long time. I just needed to use up all my sheaterraorganics products. I still love my sheaterra but I wanted to try someting new also I wasn't willing to share my sheaterra organics product with my hubby who is plagued with extremely dry skin. So we went to lush instead and their products work beautifully and keeps my hubby's skin moisturized.

I heard a lot of good things about this brand  from mrdizzybubbles on youtube. She has extremely sensitive skin. I have tried other face mask from skin food unfortunately my skin did not agree with the products. It either caused me to have break outs around the oddest parts of my face like on my inner brows or the product was stung so bad I had to take the mask off and wash out the serum. I'm hoping this masks works out for me.

BB cream trials again I never learn lolz only the second time and so far I have tried the Lioele beyond the solutions BB cream in the small sachets. I sort of like but I couldn't reuse the the samples in the sachet they dried out on me. So Cal weather is extremely dry so I figured why not purchase a bigger sample the 5 ml and try out other BB creams in process.

I've been hearing a lot of good reviews on YouTube about this brand the balm. I've been wanting to try the brand but I didn't need eye shadows nor was I willing to try any of the foundation since I have a bunch. That I like and currently using. My make up routine does need a few items one of them being a good highlighter and a good under eye concealer. That's not too light for me.
