Glam Bag - March 2012 Review

Well, this is my March Glam Bag and the reviews.

1) DermStore $25 gift card.
This should not be categorized as gift card when there is a term and condition to use the card. We got to spend $50 in order to get $25 off. It sounds like a good deal but all i see this as a marketing strategy to make us spend more. Just like the NuMe $100 'so called gift card' which later found out that you can easily get the code online. If you have something to buy, then good, but at that moment, i got nothing to buy, so it was a waste for me.

2) Pur-lisse SPF 30 Essential Daily Moisturizer
Not a bad product. it does do the job moisturizing my face but its not something i will purchase again since some of the drugstore brand can do the same. I dont see any special in this product.

3) Murad Eye Lift Perfector
Not a fan of this product. Supposedly help you perfecting the skin tone and hide the flaw. It does nothing to me. On top of that, it is $35 for a full size. Definitely not worth it.

4) Pur-lisse Daily Lip Nourisher
This is another ok product. I got a full size of this product which is $16 for a tube. It does the job by nourishing the lips but for that price, i wont be getting it after i finish this because it is too expensive. Before this, i was using Eucerin Aquaphor which is less than $10 and works just fine for me.

5)Keracolor Color Enhancing Leave-In Treatment
This is one product that i didnt try and will not try. I read a lot of reviews about this product and it scare the s**t out of me. So, i choose not to take the risk. So, since i didnt try this product, i am not going to say whether it is good or bad.

6) 'C brush' and pink leather case for brushes
The brush was alright and soft. Something i can use it again and again and good especially travelling.

7) The flower bag.
Just a bag. I guess a girl can never have too much bag. There is a plastic lining inside the bag this month which i think is good because u can easily wash it or clean it.

Overall, this bag was not a good bag for me. The products was alright but it is very hard for me to justify if i want to spend a great amount of money for those brands when i can get a cheaper brand that do the same thing.

Dr Scholl's For Her High Heels Insoles Review

There was this saying i heard since i was a little girl that "A woman will go through a HELL of pain just to look pretty". To be honest with you, i always believe in that saying and agree with that line. This is because, you can see women will wear high heels just to look gorgeous and continue endure those pain.

When i was in my early 20's, i too was one of those women will hold on to those horrible horrible pain just to look pretty in that 4 inch high heels. After i move from my country to USA, my perception change. I stop wearing high heels because i just dont think it is worth the pain anymore. At times when i went out for some parties / dinners, i will be just sitting at my table and not move an inch. This is because the high heels just hurting my feet so bad. I would take the high heels out underneath the table and wishing that no one will know.

So, i choose not to wear high heels most of the time and part of me feeling sad for that. I like high heels. I like the fact it can bring so much out in a woman. Besides making us look taller, it kinda emphasize the beauty of our legs and our curves.

When i received Dr Scholl's for Her High Heels Insoles from bzzagent, i jump right on to try this product. Well, i know Dr Scholl's is a good brand because i have a few of their other products that i use for my Sneakers. But then again, i am not sure how this High Heels Insoles will actually help me. So i decided to put this to test. I gather all my courage to wear my high heels with this new high heel insoles to go shopping! (WOW! very brave!)














I started wearing this around 9.30am till 6.30pm. From my home I went o Ihop for breakfast then to the post office to run some errand. After that i went Carlsbad Premium Outlet! Spent 4 hours there walking in and out of the store happily doing my shopping. After that i went to 99 Ranch Market in San Diego and do my asian groceries shopping there. Spent another 2 hours walking around then drove to  back to Murrieta. Through out my whole journey, I totally forget the fact i was wearing high heels! Well, the Dr Scholl's For Her High Heel Insoles definitely worked well for me!

When i reached home, instead of feeling painful because of the high heels, i only feel tired on my leg. 10 hours with high heels only come back with tiredness on my feet is pretty damn good deal! My leg was tired because of all the walking not because the high heels. Like i said, before that, it never last me more than 2 hours and i have to take off my high heels. I am glad that i was choosen to try this product!

Best part of all is that, when i received this product, Bzzagent also given us some coupons and information card to understand the product even more!

I am glad that Dr Scholl's come out this product because i can wear my high heels and look good again without worrying that its going to kill my feet and take off my high heels off underneath the table! I can now stand up high and walk with my high heels with confident because my secret is this pair of Dr Scholl's For Her High Heel Insoles.

Guess what i am going to do with the coupons? to get more Dr Scholl's For Her High Heels Insoles for the rest of my High Heels collection! The retail price is $12.99 and with the coupon, i only paid $8.99 per pair. AWESOME!

I am really thankful and glad that i am a bzzagent and receiving this product and coupons as part of this campaign for review.

HELLO Panda Meet Pocky!

Look at what i got? Giant size Hello Panda and Pocky. Got that in 99 Ranch Market in San Diego. Love those stuff. I can never get tired of this. It is only $3.99 per pack. Way cheaper by buying the small individual pack

The Look Bag - March 2012 Review

March Look Bag wasnt that bad.In fact out of the 6 items i received for that month, i like at 3 of the items.  As you can see, i only got 1 picture. This is because i got lazy and was busy with something else, so i dont bother to take an individual photo of the products. I was busying packing because i was moving from NY to CA. Big move for me and my husband. 

1) Frownies Facial Patches

Apparently, this facial patches will help reduce wrinkles. So i tried it on my face. It said we should try to wear it to sleep. I cant go through it. It is just uncomfortable for me. Even though i am 30, i dont have wrinkles on my face. So this product doesnt do me any good. I used it for the sake of using it. Furthermore, i dont believe 1 treatment will give me any visible results. 

2) Shea Terra Rose Hips Black Soap

Love  love and LOVE this Black Soap. Left my skin so smooth and soft. On top of that, i feel my face is much more cleaner and i look much more radiant everytime i use. This is a MUST have product.

3) SS Soap & Body Co Lavender Soap

Nothing really special about this soap to me. For me it is just a soap with Lavender smell. So, i guess i just love the scent.

4) GlamGlow Mud Mask
Another awesome item that i LOVE. With the stress of packing and cleaning the apartment, i am in serious need to nourish my skin/ face. GlamGlow Mud Mask came in handy for me. Had it on after i moved to CA last month. The Results : Soft, Smooth, Radiant, Clean and AWESOME skin. I think it tighten my skin too because i did felt my skin was tighten after the mask. Something i will want to buy once i get a job. $69 is a just a little high for me at the moment but i still think it is worths every penny.

5) Indie Lee Squalane Facial Oil
I seriously have no idea about this brand or even heard such thing like Facial Oil. After doing some research,  found out this product suppose to promotes elasticity in the skin. Well, i did give it a try and it was alright for me. Maybe because i relatively have pretty good skin hence i dont see any different after using this product. It became sort of moisturizer for me instead. Especially at night, i would have a little of this facial oil and when i wake up the next morning, at least i dont feel my skin feeling dry. Guess, it helps in hydrating my skin.


6) Suki Intensive Nourishing Cream
First of all, i think the cream is a little too watery but this is not a bad product. I definitely like the smell of it. Again, i use this at night and it does nourish my skin because the next morning, i noticed my skin was more radiant and well hydrated. I like the product but dont think i will be buying it. It is too expensive for since currently i am not working.

Overall, this bag is quite good for me. For more information, kindly visit www.thelookstore.com

Glam Bag - May 2012 + Review

Finally received my Glam Bag. To be honest, i am not too happy with the products i received but there is nothing much i can do about it. Just hope that next month will be better. 

This month's bag is with the lips/kiss theme. It is always fun to receive the bag. For me, i always believe that a girl can never be having too much bags. If i am not using it to store my stuff, i can always give it away. So, i will think of a way to utilize the bag.

The first item is this Nail Bling. Like i mentioned before in this blog, i am not a big fan of all this stick on nail blings. I still prefer the conventional way. Furthermore, i think this design is suitable for teenagers and tweens. So, i will definitely give this away to someone that can appreciate it.

The second item is this Studio Gear full size lipstick (Autumn Red). The actual color is very brownish. It was pretty hard for me to use it because i got a very fair complexion. So i am still figure out a way to make use the best i can with this lipstick. I am not sure whether this is me being paranoid but i kinda feel the lipstick smells old. Like those expire lipstick. On top of that, i dont think the color is suitable with the spring/summer season. I probably use it during autumn and Halloween or when i need a dramatic look.

The third item are this concealer and eyeliner brushes. For someone like me who jsut started the explore the beauty world, this definitely comes in handy. It is pretty soft and get the job done. The eyeliner brush that i received was not sharp enough hence it makes it difficult to use for that purpose. Instead of using it as an eyeliner brush, i use it for my lips. So, i dont think these brushes will go to waste.

And the last item for the month of May is this Philosophy "Love Sweet Love" perfume sample. In my opinion, this is not a deluxe size but i am not going sweat about it. The smell is really nice and sweet but that wont drive me to buy the product. This is because, i still prefer Fascinating by Salvatore Ferragamo.

Well, this month is just an OK bag for me. Just hope next month will be better. One can only hope for better :)

The Look Bag - May 2012

Look at what i got in my Look Bag this month? An FREAKING AWESOME May 2012 bag. I am not sure what happen to my bag but The Look Bag is kind enough to sent me the replacement bag. That's explained why i got the Revitalash Volumizing Mascara, the Rain Glam Lipstick and the Too Faced Sparkled lip gloss.

 Of course it came with a card describing everything in the bag.

 On top of that, they were kind enough to put in this card. I love this card as it got all the necessary information on different kind of flowers and their usage. 

 Well, i cannot wait to try all the products and come back with more reviews. If you want to know more about The Look Bag, please go to www.thelookstore.com

Vichy Box Review

I dont exactly remember when i received the Vichy Box but i got this when i subscribed to Birchbox few months ago. Before this, i never heard of this brand but i am open to try all the product they gave me. To be honest, they gave very good samples size that last me quite soometime.

1) Aqualia Termal Cream 
Full size (1.7fl oz) $29.95

"24hr Hydrating Care, Infused with a high concentration of mineral-rich antioxidant water, this moisturizer keeps skin hydrated around the clock. Use it every morning on a clean face, alone or under make up."

Verdict: It is a good product that does keep my skin hydrate. None greasy. The only set back about this product is that this doent have spf. I only use this cream when i am at home whole day.

2) Lifactiv Rhamnose Night
Full size (1.7fl oz) $49.00

"Anti-Wrinkle + Firming Care. This lush night cream works its magic with Rhamnose, a plant-derived ingredient (concentrated at 5%) that helps skin renew itself. Apply a thin layer after washing your face, and don't forget your neck and decolletage"

Verdict: I love this night cream. The best i use so far. I have tried numerous night cream and this is the best. Every morning when i wake up, i just feel my skin is soft and healthy. I am not sure about the anti-wrinkle element because i dont have any wrinkle.

3) Purete Thermal 3-in-1 One Step Cleanser
Full size (6.7fl oz) $19.50

"A real triple threat, this unique formula works as cleansing milk, toning lotion and a make remover all at once. Dab it on with a cotton pad, or smooth it directly onto skin and rinse with water"

Verdict: This cleanser is awesome. IT does remove all the make up and it doesnt burn/hurt my eyes. Your skin will normall feel soft each time you use the product.

4) Purete Thermal Eye Make Remover for Sensitive Eyes
Full size (5.1fl oz) $16.50

"Laced with cornflower water and vitamin B, this uber-gentle formula thoroughly cleanses your delicate eye area. Pour a small amount onto a cotton pad and pat into skin"

Verdict: My favourite sample in the box. Definitely do the job and does not hurt my eyes at all. I wish the price is cheaper because this is kinda expensive for an eye make up remover for me.

5) Celludestock
Full size (6.7fl oz) $39.50

"Intensive Treament for the Appearance of Cellulite. Vichy's own Lipocidine complex team up with caffeine to tone the skin on your tights, hips, and derrier. Massage into your skin to zap cellulite"

Verdict: Maybe i got a serious and bad case of cellulite but this product just doesnt work for me.

Glam Bag - February 2012 Review

 My first Glam Bag is the February bag. So with all the buzz in social media, i too signed  up for 1 year subscription with MyGlam.

 1) X Out Shine Control
" Stay flawless and shine free with this oil-free moisturizer with a mattifying complex"

Verdict: It was alright for me. It does do the job to keep my skin matte. Not a bad product at all.

 2) Nyx Roll On Shimmer
"Nyx's brand new, intensely rich, shimering powder that can be applied to the eyes, face, and body"

Verdict: I love this shimmer. The color is "RES14 Salmon". It is a shimmering brown/light bronze. It just help pop up my color and natural enough for me because i love natural make up.


3) Freeman Facial Mask - Goji Berry
"Soothing spa experience with easy-to- use skin-perfecting masks"

Verdict: Something i will keep buying. The mask left me with a radiant and smoother skin. The best part is that, this product is not expensive at all! 

 4) Premier Dead Sea 
"Luxury skincare rich in life-enhancing minerals from the Dead Sea waters"

Verdict: Facial serum (on the right) smells extremely good and a little goes a long way. I only use it at night before i go to sleep. That small sachet actually last me about 2 weeks. When i wake up the next morning, my skin doesnt feel tight. 

Anti -Aging Complex Treatment Cream (on the left) was alright for me. I dont see any different on my skin. I dont think i will be ever buy this brand because it is very expensive. i do believe there will be other brands with cheaper price and will do and give the same benefits. 

5) Nume Gift Certificate
"Enjoy $100 towards NuMe's products. Hair tools that will revolutionize your everyday look"

Verdict: Honestly, i don't count this as 1 item. On top of that, there are terms and condition in using this 'gift card'. So anything with conditions is not a gift card. It is merely a coupon. 

6) Ghirardelli (Bonus Item)

Verdict: You can't do wrong with Ghirardelli chocolate. Both Milk Chocolate and Dark Chocolate is delicious.This is a bonus item since it is February and Valentine's Day.

The Look Bag - February 2012 Review

 I know this is way overdue but better late then never right? Well i signed up with The Look Bag early February this year. For $10 per month, i think this is definitely worth the money i paid for.

1) Lalicious Sugar Reef Body Butter
Full Size (7.3fl oz.)
Non Member - $25.00
Member - $22.50
" Paraben Free! Sugar Reef Body Butter exudes a fresh, crisp beachy clean scent that blends exotic casaba melon, ginger and white tea. This irresistible scent allows you to escape to the tropical adventure of your dreams. Enriched with Shea Butter which seals in moisture keeping your skin soft throughout the day. Scoop out with your fingers and smooth all over skin. Use as often as desired for an intense hydrating effect."
Verdict: This is a good product. Leaving my skin soft and non greasy. I use it after a good shower at nite.

 2) S.S Soap Co - Gingerbread Caffeinated Soap
Non Member - $6.00
Member - $5.40
 "Beautiful Gingerbread scented soap with finely ground coffee and cocoa butter for a silky lather that moisturizes and exfoliates. Caffeine is a vasodilator which works to firm and tighten skin, plus it's full of antioxidants and helps diminish redness. "

Verdict: Honest i dont feel anything special besides the smell. It was just another soap for me with a gingerbread smell.

3) Obliphica Treatment Hair Mask
Small Non Member - $32.95
Small Member - $26.36
Large Non Member - $48.95
Large Member - $39.16
"Repair and nourishing for very dry and colored hair
Obliphica has an advanced formula for intensive treatment of very dry, colored hair.
The creamy texture of the mask penetrates hair structure and envelops it in softness.
Your hair looks shiny and healthy, and has a pleasant fragrance.
The Obliphica plant contains many vitamins (A,E,C,K), and oils (tea tree, olive, rosemary etc.), 18 amino acids, 11 trace minerals and naturally balanced omega 3,6,9 essential fatty acids that are crucial for a healthy scalp and hair.
It eliminates split ends and prevents graying, making the hair stonger.
The mask has been especially adapted for hard water users, being PH balancing.
Your hair stays soft, even after shampooing, drying and styling it!"

Verdict: I love this product. I used after i dyed my hair and it does restore my hair from dry to healthy. My hair was soft after using the hair mask.

4) Shadow Shields
(30 shields)
Non Member - $9.99
Member - $7.99
"What it is:
A convenient way to prevent messy "raccoon eyes" from eyeshadow application.
What it does:
Eliminate under-eye fallout with this hands-free, disposable, time-saving secret weapon.
What else you need to know:
Hailed as a "best find of 2009" and red carpet must-have, this simple fix gives you the freedom to apply eye makeup with confidence."
Verdict: It is a good product to have a clean make up but 30 shields for $10 is pretty expensive for me. 

 5) Cailyn Eye Liner with 2 Eye Shadow
Non Member - $21.00
Member - $16.80
"Cailyn waterproof gel eyeliner offers perfectly smooth and glide lines."

Verdict: This is one of the best Gel Eye liner i used so far. the brush is need and a little goes a long long long way. You can even mix the eye shadow color to give you a different color eye liner. This is something every girl needs. The website doesnt come with the eye shadow color. The price are quoted only for the eye liner.

7) Jus D'Amour (LOVE)
Non Member -1/8oz $44, 1/4oz $64, 1/2oz $108
Member - 1/8oz $435.20, 1/4oz $51.20, 1/2oz $86.40

"A beautiful, grown-up comfort scent - and really, is there anyone who couldn’t use an extra dose of comfort right about now? Jus d’amour opens with coco palm sweet, but not cupcake-topping sweet. This is a dark and dusky coco palm, and there is a brief moment when it meets the mysterious and green aqualeaf accord that makes us wonder if we might be headed someplace edgy. Then the most soothing, enveloping woods appear, and it is clear that the place we are headed is the coziest chair in the room, complete with a cashmere throw. We can feel the knots in our neck begin to unwind, as creamy Tahitian vanilla wraps itself around mesmerizing sandalwood. Even the lilting violets and jasmine snuggle into the tranquil blend instead of floating above it. Sophisticated and serene, with a warm, soft sweetness that takes the edge off a stressful day. "

Verdict: I like the scent but this is not something i will buy. I am pretty much use back the same old brand i use since i was 15. I am not really a adventurous person when it comes to perfume.
