Lotions/ Creams -Korres - Body Butter - Guava

I love this product! It actually did make my skin feeling soft and moisturized! The scent did take a little getting used to, and it did smelled more like coconut than guava. However, for some reason, after using it for a few times, I began to pick up the smell of fresh guava and just a hint of citrus which I love. The consistency of the product is very thick and is a tad hard to smear it smoothly over my skin, it also takes awhile for it to sink in, but other than that, its a good product for the colder months. I use this at night after shower. Price wise its a tad pricey where I live, but I think its not bad for an occasional splurge. Would probably repurchase this from time to time.

I actually do like this product. It smells nice and it does leave my skin feeling soft, which I appreciate. However, I don't think it did anything for my skin for the long run. I don't think I would repurchase as its way too expensive for such a small tub.

Gels/Soaps -LUSH - Honey I Washed the Kids soap
rated 2 of 5

Another product from lush that I honestly don't get the hype. It totally strips my skin and makes it feel very dried out. It's only saving grace is that the scent is really heavenly, but its not enough for me to repurchase. This is also one of the most expensive soaps I've ever bought.

Skincare - Body -LUSH - Each Peach Massage Bar
rated 1 of 5

I honestly don't get the hype. The scent is nice st first, but once it fades off, it starts to smell like cheap lemon dishwashing detergent. This thing melts really fast and its very greasy. It sits on my skin like a thick layer of oil for a long time and it does not absorbs into my skin. I actually took another shower to wash it off because I really cannot stand the greasiness. Also, this thing was not cheap! What a waste of $$. I should have just stick to my body butter. At least that absorbs.

Mascara -Christian Dior - Diorshow Extase Flash Plumping Mascara
rated 2 of 5

I did not like it. The product is a tad too wet for my liking and took a relatively long time to dry. It also did not hold my curl very well and it smudges! I have worn this mascara on a long day and when I got home, I found that the mascara have traveled to my under eye area. Also, the packaging needs some work. The stopper does not seem to serve any purpose. I get thick globs of mascara clinging on to my brush each time I get it out from the bottle. On top of all that, this mascara was VERY EXPENSIVE. It retails for $50 odd where I live. My drugstore mascara was way better at half the price. Will not be repurchasing.

Highlighters -BeneFit Cosmetics - High Beam
rated 4 of 5

I am a sucker for highlighters when it comes to makeup, and this is actually my favorite highlighter of the many I have tried. The color is about right for my skin tone and it does give me the nice dewy glow. It's easy to blend and it's not greasy at all. The packaging is crap of course, I didn't like the nail polish kinda packaging and it didn't seem like the most sanitary way to use it. The price is steep here in Singapore, I paid $41 for it if I remember correctly. Although the product is likely to last me a long long while, I did notice that the formula seems to thicken real fast, so I'm not quite sure how long I can actually keep it before it goes bad or something.

I thought it smelled good when I first got it, but after spraying it on myself, I find it too sweet! Terrible!
