Grande Lips Hydrating Lip Plumper - Clear

I am not a big fan of lip plumpers as they can sometimes be quite painful. I like my beauty products to provide me with a lot of gains and no pain regardless of the saying,  "No Pain, No Gain". The lip plumper is enriched with collagen, hyaluronic acid, and vitamin B3 to moisturize lips, improve firmness while plumping lips. I didn't take a photo of the before and after because the tingly feeling was a bit unpleasant and I didn't notice results in the first use. However, I do regret not taking it because, after multiple uses, I did notice my lips becoming a bit plump. I don't think I will be getting rid of my other lip products but, I won't mind using this here and there.

Julep Rethink Your Shower Hydrating Body Cleansing Oil

I usually use a  combination of shower gels and bar soaps for showering purposes. I feel like some shower gels are not moisturizing enough and well, some bar soaps are dull. Especially on days where I need to something "extra" to make my mornings more bearable. 

The lightweight body cleansing oil is packed with grape seed oil, coconut oil, kukui nut oil, grapefruit peel oil, and glycerin. It promises to leave skin hydrated and moisturized. The cleansing oil provided a generous lather and did leave my skin feeling soft. However, I still had to follow up with lotion.  It's not a bad shower cleanser but, it's definitely pricer than the brands available at the drugstore.

Chuda by Dr. Elena Ocher Healing Hydrating Cream

The thick hydrating cream promises to help hydrate and heal dry and damaged skin. According to the instructions a  small scoop of  the creamy product is all that is needed to see results. The cream was easy to apply and but it was on greasy side. I didn’t know any difference between this product and my normal lotions but my skin was softer and hydrated.

H2O+ Oasis Hydrating Treatment

The H20+ hydrating gel is enriched with sea grass and water lily extracts. The cooling gel goes on smoothly and absorbs quickly. It provides hydration for 24 hours. However, while the gel was non-greasy and didn’t make my face feel stiff, I didn’t my face to be hydrated for 24 hours. I found this treatment more useful to use as a cooling lotion after a hot day.

L'Occitane en Provence Ultra Rich Shampoo

The rich shampoo is enriched with shea butter, an ingredient known for it’s nourishing and hydrating properties. The shampoo is creamy and provides a generous lather. Unfortunately, it left my thin hair very greasy and felt weigh down. Perhaps, this shampoo is better suited to people with very dry hair.

Memebox Ariul Moisture Box

My latest Memebox splurge - the Ariul Moisture box. I always loved sheet mask and the Ariul brand was new to me. The box came with 14 sheet masks, a cleanser and a lotion. Reviews will be up soon!

Equitance Hydrating Brightening Cream

The lightweight cream is packed with linoleic acid, licorice, yogurt extracts, shea butter, shell ginger extract and cherry blossom extracts. The cream promises to lighten dark spots, brighten skin, promote radiance, soften, protect, soothe, and nourish skin. The cream goes on smoothly and was absorbed pretty quickly. My skin felt nourished and hydrated after applying the lotion. My  face did look brighter and radiant but it usually looks like that when I apply lotion on. Overall, I am not sure how effective this cream really is but I do like using it.

Elizabeth Arden 5th Avenue Hydrating Cream Cleanser for the Body

My mom loves 5th Avenue and I can’t remember if I bought the set and got the body wash with it. The body wash was very creamy but it gave a mediocre lather. It did have a bit of an overpowering scent but it wore off after I got out of the shower. Overall, I am glad I didn’t buy this separately as it is a bit disappointing.
