I have two of these BE lip gloss, Sugar Plum and Sugar Cookie. I find that Sugar Cookie is too nude, the color barely appears on my lips, and I think I can find something similar to this color easily. But the color of Sugar Plum is very nice and warm. It has a mixture of purple and deep berry color, which I can wear to many places especially in Fall and Winter. These lip glosses are creamy, moisturizing, and maybe a bit sticky but not too bad. Both smell sweet, well, actually almost too sweet. It is hard to believe that they are made with the all-natural ingredients, which are another positive aspect of this BE lip gloss.

I recently purchased 2 more pairs for $6 each at ULTA. I love these moisturizing aloe-infused spa socks. The first 2-3 times I did not use any lotion but unfortunately after several washes, the aloe seems to be washed out, and they became just comfy warm socks. Well, I don't mind apply a foot lotion first anyway. These socks are great for wearing around the house with or without slippers, especially on cold tile or hardwood floor. Also, after skiing, I apply Neutrogena Norwegian Formula Foot Cream or Cracked Heel Treatment on my tired and dry feet, wear these socks, and sleep with them on. My feet and heels become soft and ready for more skiing again.

As I got this bottle as my early birthday gift a few days ago, and this Pure scent spray in 1.7 oz became my latest addition to my perfume collection. When I spray it in the air it smells quite soapy, and the scent reminds me of laundry dryer sheets. When I use it on my skin, it smells a bit more floral and I can detect a hint of vanilla. It is a clean and soft scent that wearable to some different occasions, but at the same time quite one-dimensional. Well, it is called Pure, so I guess this perfume is not supposed to have many different notes. I do like that the packaging is recyclable, and it is nice to know the DKNY's project of helping some women in Uganda through this perfume, but the fragrance itself is not too exciting for me. Again, I only own Pure for several days now, and maybe it may grow on me later.

Shiseido Benefiance Pure Retinol Instant Treatment Eye Mask
I wish I could use these every single day
After 3 sheets of this eye mask, my under eye bags felt tighter and smoother. But I cannot say that the results were permanent maybe because I stopped using them, or more likely I age faster now. This is very expensive for one-time use mask. If I could afford it, I would use them everyday for the rest of my life. Since I have fine wrinkles all over my face and my skin feels dull, I would also pick Shiseido Revitalizing Face Mask if I could afford it.

I like this Wallflower system, and I use them when I want constant release of aroma or for places I don't want to use real candles. My latest scent is Frosted Cranberry, and I like it. These are not the cheapest thing for room fragrance, but their variety of scents tempt me. I buy the refills only when they are on sale. Just FYI, both Slatkin and BBW Signature Collection bulb refills still work with White Barn brand base units if you still have them.

It is very expensive, but oh boy this tea is delicious. A cup of this tea soothes and calms my soul. First I thought I would like their tea bags more because of the convenience, but I like this loose leaf much better because I can control the strength from light to medium or robust to strong flavor, depending on my mood. I cannot afford to drink this tea everyday but even if I could, I like to change my tea flavor anyway. But this Aveda tea is great for a little "me" time.

This was my first Suave product from their professionals line. I was not expecting too much, but this stuff does what it says it does. The cream is not heavy, so no weighing hair down, and the scent is pleasant enough. I like to apply this to damp hair and then blow dry. A small amount of this cream helps to tame my hair and smoothen it. It would be perfect if it could add a little more shine to my hair, well, still great since this is not a serum. It is a bargain compared to similar anti-frizz creams.

I have thick long hair. I tried several times, but I still feel that I am not doing it 100% right. I twist my hair up, make a tight bun and twist a spin pin to secure it. Once the pin is inside, it is quite comfortable. Unfortunately, it does not hold all of my hair in place all the time. Sometimes it works, but other times I feel the bun is a bit loose. It is good for a messy bun, but not for a clean bun. Some of my hair keep popping out, well, that's probably my hair is layered. It is hard to say that one spin pin is like 20 bobby pins as their ad claims. I feel that these spiral coil pins and bobby pins work differently.

I've been looking for a drugstore brand quick finishing spray to add some shine to my hair ever since I can no longer find Sunsilk ThermaShine Spray. Oh, boy, this one smells bad. It has a very strong chemical smell. My first try, it made my roots look dirty and oily. The second time I was careful, used even less, and sprayed away from the roots, but then my hair looked a bit better. But not enough shine to endure the smell. I hate to throw away an unfinished product, I just could not stand it. Although it is expensive and not a misty spray, I go back using Redken Glass 01 smoothing serum.

First I was not too thrilled to get this one as my b-day gift. I collect decorative glass perfume bottles. By the look of the design, I thought their scent would be more suitable for younger people. What I noticed about this perfume is that it takes a good half an hour to reveal their true scent. It has the appealing amount of vanilla, cedar, and musk combination. The warm and spicy combo may not be too original, but Emporio Armani's blend is not cloying. In my humble opinion, I feel that this is one of those perfumes that once the scent settles down, it smells even better. Today I am happy that someone gave this one to me.
