L'Occitane Almond Shower Oil

Given description: Transforms into a lavish, softening foam--original and unique in texture--that leaves a satin-like softness all over the body. Rich in almond oil and nourishing lipids. Cleanses gently to impart a delectable perfume.

Use daily during the bath to maintain its skin firm; ideal for the shave. Layer the delightful aroma of sweet almond by following with moisturizing Almond Milk Concentrate




Seeing as this was called an oil, i was expecting something really oily and thin, but to my surprise, this turned out to be more like a really thick shower gel.

Doesn't really feel like oil, and doesn't 'foam' up, but acts just like a normal shower gel, only thicker.


It was easy to wash off, and left my skin feeling smooth and definitely not dried out.


What i like best about this product is the scent. After washing off, there was a very pleasant light almond scent left on my skin, and my skin feels smooth.


Get this at any L'Occitane outlets, its about 250ml.

I don't know how many times i've said this, but it is quite difficult for me to judge when it comes to hair products because my hair is very healthy, shiny, smooth and never gets frizzy. To sum it up, its already in its prime condition.


however, two days after using this my friend commented that she loves my hair. She said it looks very healthy and smooth, and even asked what shampoo i used. I was more than happy to share, of course. This shampoo doesn't have a strong scent, and doesn't leave a lingering scent in your hair so if you're a girl that likes shampoos that leave scents in your hair, then i don't think this product is suitable for you. but i think this would be great for men and its a great unisex shampoo.

L'Occitane Ruban d'Orange soft skin milk

This is a product from L'Occitane's orange range which i think has already passed a long time ago.


This body moisturizer is not greasy at all. Absorbs fast into your body and doesn't leave greasy residue unlike other moisturizers.

The scent is citrusy, but i don't really like the after smell. I wished it was more citrusy and fresh. The texture is great though, really like milk, only thicker. very easy to apply too.

Savons Gemme Bath Jewels

This is one beautiful soap. I have no idea of what company this product is made by, this was given to my father by the drug company, so maybe it is one of the products of the drug company. That being said, i don't know where you can purchase this, but, im still going to review this.



it came housed in a black box covered in some suede/velvet material and inside it was there nesting on some gold fabric. The soap itself is made to look like an amethyst, and i must say they did a very good job in replicating an amethyst.


The soap is purple, and has a sort of diamond shape to it. There are luminiscent streaks running through it, like that of an opal and parts of the soap are opaque purple. Really beautiful. It's quite big too.


The shape makes it very easy to hold in the shower and the scent is mild and pleasant. I have only ever dropped this soap once, which is really good because i always drop soap bars in the shower and i hate it especially when it lands on my foot! PAINFUL!



The soap is easy to wash off your skin too and doesn't leave an overwhelming scent on your body. This would make a great gift, and i think guys can use this too, cos the scent isn't overly feminine but im not sure whether they would mind using a soap that looks like an amethyst!

Kiehl's Nymphaea Alba UV Shield sunblock

Given description :

ENLARGE PICTURE TO VIEW DESCRIPTION ON PRODUCT

Hmm strange thing is, this product is apparently sold only in Asia. I guess the tropical climate and humid weather explains why though. This product is an extremely lightweight and oil free sunblock formulated for oily skins and the hot weather. with such humid conditions, we don't need another sunblock that clogs up the skin do we?




I ABSOLUTELY ADORE THIS PRODUCT. I have not found a sunblock thats better than this to be honest. When i used this for the first time, i didn't expect the sunblock to be well, so watery. It's not diluted don't worry, thats just the way it is. The watery texture ensures that the sunblock is light and weightless and it does make my face looks a little more translucent white. Thats good though! By translucent white i don't mean the white thick residue that most sunblocks leave. This one doesn't, and it gets absorbed really quickly into my skin as well.




I love this as it doesn't make my skin feel oily. I hate sunblocks or products that cause my face to be oily, my skin is already oily as it is and i don't want it to be any oilier. this is great and lasts through sweat and the hot weather.



I can't remember the price, i think it's about SGD $54? It's not cheap definitely, and the bottle is small. But with the watery texture, you don't need much for your whole face and so this product does last a long time. Plus, the small bottle makes it easy to pack cos it takes up so little space!

Molten Brown reawakening mer-rouge hair hydramask

Given description:

An intensive hydrating mask to rejuvenate tired, dull hair.

This ultimate indulgence for your hair is enriched with amino acids; vitamin and dulse sea extracts to leave your hair soft, vibrant and manageable.

Apply to towel dried hair and distribute evenly from root to tip. Leave on hair for 3-5 minutes and rinse.

Taken from: www.moltenbrown.co.uk



This hair mask has a very light scent, and the texture is quite thick. For hair thats up till your shoulder blades you should need about a golfball size amount of this hair mask to sufficiently cover your hair from root to tip.



When used, hair feels softer and smoother. I love using this every week cos it's like having a mini spa. I do this with a long soak in the bath (with one of the Lush bath bombs or bath salts), and then i have a face mask and a hair mask. great way to pamper yourself when you feel stressed out.



Price is steep, about SGD $70 but its definitely worth it. The tub is huge! Probably will last me a long time now.

Lush Tisty Tosty bath bombs

Given description:

Weaves a magic love spell with a scent of precious rose and orris root.
The fragrant rose (not to be confused with those huge, fluffy things with no scent) is surrounded with mystery and legend: it is said to have come from the Great Garden of ancient Persia; Cleopatra is rumoured to have seduced Anthony with it. Rose perfume is said to ease tension and stress and to give people happy, positive feelings (which is probably why it worked for Cleopatra). You'll smell the real rose absolute in Tisty Tosty as soon as it hits the water. Give one away to someone you love and use one on yourself; either way the Tisty Tosty works its magic spell.

I really really like this bath bomb. It's so romantic! Each bath bomb has 7 dried rosebuds in it and when you drop it into the bath you are supposed to say 'He loves me/loves me not' with each rose bud you see. Theres just something very special you feel when you soak in a hot bath with roses floating around you.


Of course, i had to jack up the romantic factor abit and add some soap rose petals to make it all the more special.





rose petals dissolving



i got this bath bomb in UK along with the other bath bombs that i reviewed in the previous posts. I think each costs 4.95 pounds. You can use one for multiple baths by breaking it into pieces, but i generally use one whole one for each bath.
