Tosowoong Gel Pencil Liner - 08 Aqua Deep Blue

The gel pencil glides on easy for smooth coverage. It has staying power to last all day. I love the navy color has a bit of a sparkle but not enough where I can't wear it during the daytime.

Kneipp Deep Sleep Mineral Bath Salt - Valerian & Hops

If I am not mistaken, Sebastian Kneipp, one of the founders, a priest who at 28 contracted the deadly [at the time] tuberculous and was cured by hydrotherapy. Which lead him to found Kneipp with his pharmacist friend who shared the same natural product ideologies. Naturally, baths are an excellent way to relax, lull you to sleep, a treat for a hard day at work and for health reasons. While, I knew Kneipp was a good trusted brand -- I was bit wary to try the bath salts. I don’t know why, I am kicking myself for not trying earlier. After returning from exhausting day of errands and family gatherings, I was already super tired, exhausted and sleepy. I decided a bath would have been a perfect way to unwind and take it easy. When I open the packet, the air was flooded of Valerian and Hops [I am not sure what either smells like but I guess it has to be the scent I was sniffing :) ]. The blue salt crystals turned the bath water into a beautiful azure blue color. The color you imagine the water being in tropical islands [and also hiding sharks under their alluring surface]. I immediately slipped in and was immediately transported into a Greek soaking tub. I started to relax; I felt my tension melting away. The water was still fragranced and left my skin softly  scented and my skin soft to the touch. While the blue color didn’t stain my tub, I wouldn’t recommend using anything white near it [towels, mats] or porous colors though. Even after my bath, the scent is still wafting through the air. How was I feeling after the bath and was I able to sleep better? I am having trouble staying awake to write this review but I don’t feel the disgusted I - want - to - sleep - get - out - of - my - way but more like I am at peace and I could go for a nice nap. Which right about now, sounds great. Good night! I am happy to report, I did have a restful deep sleep last night. I am totally in love with this bath salt.

Macadamia Natural Oil Deep Repair Masque

For my 26th birthday, I decided  to tour Copenhagen [and Arhus], Paris, Amsterdam and Kiles for my birthday. While I thought I was enriching my soul and spirit I didn't realize that I was ruining my hair in the process. My hair sadly, no matter how much conditioner, oils and love I put in it,  I was still getting a dry scalp. I had bought a travel size packet of this to use during a down day as way for when I got homesick I had something familiar. The macadamia, argan, tea tree, and chamomile oil enriched hair masque made my frizzy dry hair super smooth and soft. While I find the mask very rich and  `heavy´, I found using a small amount or mixing it regular conditioner does a better job as it wouldn’t make my hair feel weighed down. The deep conditioning masque is also packed with aloe and algae extract that left hair smell yummy and not overpowering. I love this masque although it is a bit pricey, I will be bringing it whenever I travel.

Biore Deep Cleansing Pore Strips

Not the best picture, but what can you do :P

With having more than 200,000 pores on your face, wouldn’t you want them to be clean as well? The oil - free paper mache strips promise to “deep clean” your pores and with regular use can reduce the appearance of your pores. I have been using these strips since I was in high school and they have helped removed the blackheads. Sadly, I didn’t notice an difference in the appearance of my pores or getting rid of my blackheads completely. While I wish I could get rid of the blackheads completely but these are fun to use in the meantime.

Tresemme promises salon quality hair products at affordable prices. It can repair damaged hair with 5 uses if used with Tresemme Platinum Strength hair protocol. According to the instructions, after shampooing apply a generous amount from mid length to your ends and apply what is left over to the roots. Wait 5 minutes and then rinse off. After I applied the fresh scented hair mask, I used a shower cap and then I took the hair dryer and blasted my hair [ with the shower cap on ]  for a couple of minutes to let the mask sink in. I then washed it off and let it air dry. The end result? Super soft, manageable and OMG frizz free hair! While it seems to be a lot of steps, trust me the end result is worth it. I kept getting asked if I got my hair done. And the answer is yes, but I did it myself for one - fifth of the price.

The deep repairing cream is packed with apple extract and arctic white peat. The product promises to preserve skin’s appearance by promoting the skin’s ability to repair itself. The cream made my skin soft and smooth. I haven’t notice anything any improvement on my wrinkles…not that I have any..just saying if I did. Overall, it is a good cream and this probably should be use more for preventing wrinkles then helping to treat ones you have.
