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 :)
