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

Hello Bubble - Milky Ash color Hair dye [ REVIEW ]

Image
Months ago, I bought 2 box of Milky ash color hair dye from Korea.  It's from the brand Mise en Scène  and of course, it's a foam hair dye.   So as you can see, it's brown but kinda.. grey-ish?  It didn't smell bad, when it runed into foam, it was dark. So, here is my hair before I dyed it. It was light blond, a hint of pink and dark blonde for the rest. And here is how it look after the dye: So .. it's.. dark blonde? And my bang is purple/grey/brown color...  Even though all my hair was supposed to be this color.. well..  Then, you may wonder how it would work on dark hair?  I can show you my roots. As you can see, it didn't worked at all on dark hair. I'm not sure it will work well if you wanted to try. Yep, definitely dark blonde... wtf? And this is how it looked after 2 weeks (about 6-7 shampoos) [...] Well, my bang turned into a blue-ish grey. The rest is s

TRAVEL LOG: Japan - Tokyo/Hakone/Osaka/Kyoto

Image
 It's been a year since the last time I posted! 😨  I thought I would make good use of my free time and finally post the photos I took when I was on my trip to Japan last year!  Because, yes, my long life dream has come true, and I finally set my foot on the land of the rising sun (aka Japan), all thanks to my friend Caroline and her mom, who offered to foot the hotel bill, because the prices for a decent 'spacious' hotel in Tokyo were outrageous... 😵 (~90-100€/night). It took me 15 hours to land at Narita, and of course, it was raining dogs and cats when we arrived and all the train were delayed, it took us about 3hrs to arrive in Tokyo... Like good tourists, we visited the Tokyo Sky Tree and send some postcards home. I should have sent one to myself so I could have stamp to keep as a souvenir!  I do admit I am a shopping mania, but we were reasonable and bought nothing but a pin. We also went to Shiota Chiharu's exhibition, I was really looking forward to it and glad
