April Favourites

I'm really starting to like my organix cherry blossom ginseng shampoo and conditioner more and more. I didn't feel like it was anything special at first, but the more I use it...the more I feel like my hair is softer and healthier :) Well my caretrico treatment and hair masks probably help too~ but I'm liking it! I'm almost out and I want to try one in another scent :)

Imju Fiberwig Mascara~ I only buy the ones from asia. I've been using this brand for a few years now and this is the only mascara I keep repurchasing. I  personally like the fiberwig more than the lash knockout. Fiberwig really lengthens my lashes and separates them well. For me, it stays all day. It's easy to take off. It can easily come off with water. The thing is..I have super watery runny eyes and I cry a lot when watching sad, touching movies hahaaa. This mascara stays for me~my eye liner might be gone, but my lashes are still good :p I heard it comes off for some people tho~

RMK Ingenious Gel Eyeliner in Deep Blue - I've been reaching for this alot lately. I like that it looks almost black, but when the light hits, you can see the blue in it :) Below are somw swatches with a few other liner favs.

(RMK Deep Blue . Milani Black . MUFE 2L)

Benefit PowderFlage- I really thought this product would help with my dark daaark circles... it's useless alone, but when paired with your favourite concealer it's pretty good :) So I use this to set my concealer. it helps brighten a tiny bit. The powder is really fine and it doesn't set into my under eye lines. So I do like this product, but I need to try out some other stuff to see if this is really worth it~ and it's kinda expensive no?

Goat Milk Stuff Soap in Cider Press. I've been loving this soap~especially this scent. It's apple spice? apple cinnamon? It's definitely an autumn fall scent, but I don't care~ I'm using it now! this is about 1/4 of a half size bar they sell on their website. I'm def. getting this in a full bar when I run out of soap, which won't be for awhile, because I ordered quite a bit from both, goat milk stuff and creamery creek! (review soon~)

I'm still loving my caretrico treatment and Naked palette too~but I thought I should mention some of my other favs also. Whats yours this past month?

Break Time Favs!

I love tea~ but I just recently got into drinking fruity teas. This one is from Lupcia, a really nice tea store in the city. This is a decaffeinated black tea flavored with strawberries, peaches, and lychees. They also included some rose petals as well. The scent is so fruity it makes my mouth water~ I also love their packaging! :) it's great hot or cold~ I've been drinking it cold tho ;) weather has been getting a bit warmer~

who doesn't love kitkats? well I'm actually not too fond of the brown sugar flavored one. I think it was brown sugar--but these matcha ones are great! This came with two type of matcha flavoring, regular matcha and matcha milk :) I always get excited like a little kid when I  see a flavored kitkat I havn't tried yet. Next, I really want to try the pudding one! or any other ones I can get my hands on~

Senbei's are one of my favourite snacks to munch on. I wonder if this is similar. the cracker part taste the similar to me. This is cheese okaki. Love it! love the one that has almond or seaweed on top too~

I only had one of these left. it's a ginger chewy candy. It really tastes like ginger, so if you hate ginger, you will spit it right out like my brother hahaa~ but I love the texture and flavor of this candy.

this is just something sweet and pretty~ what are these called? rock candies? I like to call them star dust candies. I like having some in a cute jar placed on my vanity. I don't eat them too much, it is all sugar hahaa...but aren't they just cute??

NotLovin'

These are a few things that I'm not lovin' so much~

Almay Crayon Contour Eyeliner-I've had this for a looong time. I think it's about time I got rid of it too, because I know I'm never going to use it. It smudges and travels and if I remember correctly~hard to get off...it's wierd though. When I swatch it on my hands it's very black and seems smudge-proof, but once on my eyes it becomes disaster.

I don't hate this product, but I also feel like it doesn't do anything for me. I'm an RMK skincare lover. I've tried many products from them and really enjoy them. But this eye gel doesn't really live up to my expectations. This is actually my second tube too. I wanted to give it another chance. I feel like it might work best for younger demographics. The sales associate says the it helps heal the eye problems from the inside, but I just don't really know if its working. I guess after I stop using it I'll find out. I just use this with another eye cream. By itself is not enough for me.

I absolutely hate Elf's eye makeup remover pads! it doesn't remove my makeup and it stings sooooo bad!

I really like the lemon scent of this candle when it's not lit, but when I light it....I smell NOTHING~

What are some of your dislikes right now??

March Favourites

I'm not a huge fan of the bbw's body lotion formulations, but I do love these two scents~ For my daytime body moisturizer, I've been loving my Bath and Body Works Pomegranate Martini. I stocked up when they came out with this! I'm surprised it didn't go bad since I've had it for awhile > < but I love this scent! so fruity and summery~I hope they'll come out with it again :)

then I picked up the Twisted Peppermint when they had the sale in January~it's my go to lotion at night :) it has a little cooling effect when I put it on after a warm shower... the scent is like a warm candy vanilla with a sweet fresh peppermint twist~

Another favourite is my Caretrico After Treatment (conc.oil) I got this during my trip to Japan last year :)  So last month I mainly used Moroccan Oil and loved it, but this month I decided to switch back to this one. I still like the Moroccan Oil too, but I kinda prefer the Caretrico scent. I feel like they basically work the same~ If you're interested, I've seen them carry this in Japanese salons in the States. 

I'm a lip balm junkie~ I love my lip balms!! and Sugar Rose lip treatment from Fresh is a fav this month~It is a tad bit expensive...and true that there are other cheaper balms out there that will do the job too~but this balm is great. I love that it lasts on my lips. I like the scent and the fact that it has a tiny bit of tint. Hate the price, love the packaging. Since the packaging is so nicely made, I wish they would make it so it could be refilled :p

And lastly, I'm loving Mac's Shale~ I've been reaching for it everyday!
