The Body Shop Mini Haul


Hi! Finally I’m back!! \(^0^)/ *sobs*

Finally I had a four-days-holiday and my mom came to see me <3
We visited relatives, ate lots of foods, and of course, went shopping~ so while my mom was still here I asked her to buy me some of my beauty needs, you know what I mean ;)

So apparently my mom took me to the body shop (again -,-) but it’s okay, I got to shop all I want ;) But I was not really in good terms with make up so I only buy skin care products. So these are what I got:

i put mosaic on my reflection because it's embarassing lol XD
they are:
  • TBS Born Lippy Lip Balm (plum and lychee)
  • TBS All in One Face Base (shade 04)
  • TBS Aloe Soothing Night Cream



Oh yeah I need to tell you something. While choosing the products, I tried their eye definer in black, and my eyes hated it, totally hated it.
I have huge eyebags (bonus dark circles~) and oily lids, so the liner made me look like an old panda and when I blink, it transfers! IT FUCKING TRANSFERS!!! OTL so I think you won’t find me buying this liner anytime soon unless they change the formula ;_____; I really need an eyeliner tho so what do you think is the best eyeliner for me? The one that doesn’t worsen my eyebags and doesn’t transfer? Tell me please J

Ok so back to the haul, I already have some review photos and swatches but I haven’t made the text yet so please bear a little (again!) hehe i'm sorry *bows*

Not A Review: Clinique Long Last Lipstick (Berry Freeze-10)

Not a review? Why? D: 
hehe i bought this clinique lipstick today but it's not for me, it's for my mom ;) She always buy this lipstick everytime she gets a chance to. Clinique is not available in my hometown so my mom have to go out of town to get this. I once took a peek at the shade number when she bought it last year, i think it's number 10. Then i asked her today but she forgot which number it is, because she has almost no time to go out of town so she has been wearing the dupe after this lipstick ran out. I want to give it to her as a surprise, I hope this is the right shade and i hope she still likes it :s

berry freeze (10)
At the counter they put the swatch on my hand and even they put it on my lips, thinking i buy it for myself, and it looks good on me <3 Well my lips and my mother's lips are kinda similar so i think it might look good on her too ;)
When i rub my finger on my lips to even out the color, I notice that it has some slight glitter in it, just the right amount of glitter. The lipstick gives me a womanly, elegant look, not just a pretty girl look. Too bad i didn't take a photo :(

Me unboxing the lipstick (i swear i didn't try it!)  :

Well that's my story for today :) i'm sorry i didn't post anything for almost a week (and this is not even a review post T.T) I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry *bows 90 degrees*

Review: The Body Shop Lip Scuff

Finally, after abandoning this blog for a busy week, i'm back \(^0^)/ immunopathology sure is something :s and all of this organization thingy *sigh* nvm now let me spend some quality time with this blog ;)

I'm going to review TBS Lip Scuff because i put it in use recently to settle my chapped lips.



What it says on the web: A moisturising lip care product that gently exfoliates the lips to help remove dead skin cells, leaving the lips feeling smooth, soft and conditioned which evens the surface of the skin to better absorb Lip Colour, making it last for longer. Dermatologically tested.

Ingredients: can't find it yet >.<

At first i was impressed by its appearance. It looks like a lipstick with its black tube and silver cap. But when you open it, oolala it's a lip scuff -,- Then when you open it, the first thing you notice was the faint smell of peppermint. It smells refreshing but it reminds me of my peppermint foot scrub OTL

It contains some granules in it to scrub off some dead skin cells. At the first application it's not very effective because the first layer was very smooth that you can't feel the granules. It started to feel good the next time i apply it because i can feel the granules rubbing my chapped lips.

It can be very drying, so first i apply some lip butter to my lips, leaving it almost dry, then i apply the lip scuff after that. It takes quite a good amount of the scuff to clean my lips off :o after that i clean my lips with tissue and my lips feels really soft and smooth it looks like it's ready to be kissed anytime. It doesn't stop there, i need to apply lip butter again because it kinda dried my lips out if i don't do anything after using it :s

Conclusion

Pros:
-it looks good
-it smells good
-easy to apply
-it works if used in proper way (it leaves my lips feeling soft and smooth)

Cons:
-it takes quite a lot of the product to clean your lips
-it can be drying

It looks so ordinary and the price is kinda annoying but i need this to get rid of  excessive skin on my lips (because my lip butter alone can't do that) so i think i will repurchase it ;) But it runs out quite quickly oh! >.<
