Smart Spa Qtica Cherry Bing Shower Gel







This sophisticated cherry blossom trees scented shower gel provides a generous lather. The shower gel is packed with vitamins C and E to help soothe, repair, rejuvenate and condition skin. The scent wafts through the air while showering and left my skin feeling soft, smooth and moisturized. The shower gel left a soft scent on my skin. Overall, it is a nice shower gel but I didn’t quite love the scent and I am not overly excited about this shower gel.

Tarte 12 Hour Amazonian Clay Lipstick - Inspired















The neutral lipstick is a soft beige color and is packed with clay and natural butters like mango, avocado and shea. The lipstick promises to provide rich, vivid and long lasting color. The lipstick went on smooth and felt creamy. Personally, the color was not my favorite.  I was looking for a neutral color but this matched my natural lip color to well. And it didn't last very long. I had to reapply quite often.

Julep Nail Polish - Yumi

























The pretty pink, silver and holographic glitter goes on a bit chunky. The polish goes on thin but with multiple layers it becomes more full coverage. The nail polish works better as a top coat or using only a single coat.

Sephora Guava Passion Body Butter






While preparing for the holiday season, I cleaned out some of my stashes to see which products I have and which I need to stock up on. I came across this little treasure but then realize that Sephora stopped making this specific body care line and I should probably use this right away. I notice the scent and the texture was consistent with the other Sephora body products so I assumed it was still good. Plus, it expires 2 years after opening so I was more than okay. The creamy body  butter goes on smoothly and left my skin feeling soft. While the nourishing shea butter body cream is thick, it doesn’t feel greasy or heavy on my skin. The fruity scent is not overpowering and leaves my skin delicately scented.The body butter is scented with guava, mango, pineapple, lily of the valley, monoi de tahiti, vanilla and musk. I am curious to try Sephora’s new body products.
