Nature Republic x EXO handcream & lipbalm - Review


Lately I went on Cosmetic Love and saw that Nature Republic had a collaboration with EXO and launched some very cute handcreams and lip balms. I thought I could give it a try since it's really affordable and ... EXO's fan .. of course.. *wink wink*


I bought Chanyeol's handcream version, which is rose scented and I also got myself Sehun's lipbalm which is a lime mint scented. This is actually my first time getting Nature Republic products!





First surprise, there is actually 2 handcreams! I thought I was only getting one and didn't really paid attention. haha There is also a photo card inside! 

The size is similar to L'Occitane's handcream, but what is even more surprising is that... even the texture of the cream is similar!!  It has a shea butter base so it's 'thick', not too creamy and liquid so it doesn't make your hands "sticky". (Great thing for smartphones users like myself, it doesn't leave a lot of prints on your screen)
The scent is really natural: it actually smells like real rose, not the artificial sweet scent.
 In short.. it smells like plant.. but in a good way.  

I carry that with me and use it quite often. It's moisturizing but it does nothing amazing.
Tbh, it's ... 90% similar to L'Occitane's handcreams ( ~$8/pc in France) but this is cheaper as it's only sold for ~$9/box of 2 on Cosmetic Love and the shipping is free.

I even went back to order another box but one with Cherry Blossom scent (Kai's version), just because it's cheap, lol. (Also very curious about the scent, I order it two weeks ago, it's on its way) Go grab yours before it's too late!




If I said that the handcream is not really amazing although moisturizing (duh it's handcream, of course it has to moisturize your hands)
 ... 
THIS.IS.ACTUALLY.SUPER.GREAT.

It's really moisturizing, and this lime mint version leave your lips with a super minty & fresh feeling.
I absolutely love it! 

But compared to the handcream, this is considered as quite expensive as it costs ~$7.
It's even more expensive than the Nuxe lipbalm I was using. But I actually love it so much that I also bought another one. It hurts my kokoro and my wallet but... really, it's... great. 

Overall, I am very pleased with my first experience with Nature Republic and I will definitely buy other products from them. 
The price is fair, the quality is great, it's organic and  they use a lot of natural ingredients.

Garnier OLIA hair dye - Carmin Reds (6.66) - Review

Image
I tried a lot of color but this is the first time that I'm dyeing my hair in red! I was on my way to buy a normal dark brown dye but I saw this box of Carmin Reds and I just couldn't resist!  Before: So I had like a two toned hair style in light blonde/black. I'm only dyeing the blonde part, and I'm supposed to get the same red as on the package. After: The color looks better in real life.  It turned out pretty well, it's actually a deep red with a bit of deep pink undertone. The thing is on this 'after' picture, I just got my shampoo done so I didn't really had to brush my hair or anything since my hair are really straight naturally.. But I noticed something that happened few days after I have dyed my hair: whenever I have trying to curl/straighten my hair, the color would fade away . This is few days after when I tried to use the hair straightener. I only straightened the tips of my hair...

Cosplay Tutorial - How to make Judal bracelets/bangle?

Image
Since I'm not in mood to finish my math homework, I'm gonna share my super tutorial that I made infew minutes ! Judal's cosplay is nor hard: cropped top and harlem pants.  The point are his bracelets and his necklace/choker.  First I thought about buying some PVC bracelets in gold, I found them on Ebay for a fair price but they were too large for my wrists and I need 20 of them, which is quite.. impressive. Plus, I need a choker with the same color and material. Obviously I couldn't buy some...  First thing I did was to buy some gold vinyl fabric: (don't mind the lace, it's for my Doll cosplay) Then I pondered for many months, what should I use? Should I fill it like with a plush? Should I buy some rope to fill it? ... Neither of them seem to be a nice solution... Then I came across something nice! Close enough? :D I don't know what it's called, but it's made of foam, so super light and easy to cut! It's some...

ETUDE HOUSE - Salon Cream Hair Coloring [Vanilla Gold Brown] - Review

Image
My journey to have light colored hair without bleaching ... Part that I've forgotten to post earlier. :( Since my roots were getting longer, I thought that it would be the timing to do another hair coloring. I did this coloration after weeks after I tried out Missha Sand Brown color . This time I picked ' Vanilla Gold Brown ' color from Etude House's cream dyes. This is how my hair looks like before the coloration . Black roots, a mix of blonde/remaining of red coloration (please don't mind my bare face) * * * After the coloration . My roots came out much lighter! There is still a bit of reddish brown but it's not really that visible. Overall : - Very good coverage - Long lasting             - The dye doesn't smell bad - Less easy to apply than a bubble dye (obviously) The color turned out quite prettily, even though it's more like a dark blonde than gold brown I gues...
