I am a huge tea lover so do not be surprise to read a couple tea reviews in the future. Although this is my first review, I have tried so many different teas from different brands. I went to the grocery store last month to get my mother her favorite Numi tea (Jasmine Green) but the store did not have anymore. I decided to purchase this one because I had not try a chocolate flavor tea before and I wanted to experience it.



CLAIMS:

• Helps weight management
• improve digestion and metabolism
• Naturally boost energy

As I mentioned in my previous review of the Carefree Liners, I was selected to received a sample of it from Influenster for review for free.

 

 

 

 

 

Retails: $3.49

It claims to:

• Hydrate – formulated with Shea Butter to restore moisture
• Replenish – with antioxidant Vitamins A, C, & E
• Smooth – rich emollients leave lips silky and soft
• Protect – with SPF 15 sunscreen
• Add Shine – for a perfect radiant finish

I like that:

• The packaging is really cute and compact
• The construction of the packaging is quite sturdy( After you close the lid, it won't open up in your purse or anything)
• It left my lips soft and hydrated
• It is very affordable
• It is long lasting and smells amazing
• It has SPF 15 
• It's easier to apply than a regular tube as both your upper and lower lips are covered after one swipe. 
• This lip balm has a smoother glide than some others lip balms.
• Softlips Cube texture to be quite creamy
• If you have dry lips, it will help you improve the texture of your lips

I dislike:

Although I really like the design, it is kind of big to carry if you don't have a bag or purse with you. I always have a lip balm with me in my key chain, but  although I really like this one, I can't carry it in my pocket, key chain or small handbag. But it's a nice addition to a desk or counter top. Having said that, you should know that although that CUBE is a bit bulky compare to regular chap sticks, it is not as big as the EOS and the Revo Chap-Ice.  

Conclusion: 

I  have only try the Vanilla Bean Cube but I want to try the other two after I finish this one. I was completely impress with this lip balm and I will definitely be purchasing another one. I love how it feels and looks. After I try the other flavors, I will make an update to this post.

 

• Airheads Bites
• Pilot FriXion Clicker
• SinfulColors No Text Red
• Kiss Looks so Natural Lashes
• Luden's New Blue Rasberry Throat Drops
• Softlips Cube
• Playtex Spot Fresh Balance

I really like all of the products and this box allow me to try some new products. I have not had a chance to use them all and I would like to use them for a long period of time before giving feedback but I have a few observations to share. First, I have never use false lashes before, but I will try to see how they look on me. Secondly, I really like the lip balm by Softlips (I will be posting a full review soon). Moreover, I am a writer and enjoy using different types of pens so I was super excited to try the Pilot pens. I am really enjoy using them on my journal, scrapbook and art journal (I'll do a review soon). Finally, I was really impress by SinfulColors new campaign ("Practice Safe Texting") and I will be definately start wearing red nail polish on my thumbnail to spread the word.



Thank you and I will be doing some individual reviews soon.

I recently received a small sample of the new  Garnier Clean+ Blackhead Eliminating Scrub. 

It claims to:

• unclog pores and smooth the skin after one use.
• diminish pores after one week
• clear complexion after one week

I was really impress with this face scrub and here is why:

I like that:

• It has small exfoliating beads that are gentle and gritty enough to clean the skin 
• It is not harsh as compare to other scrubs
• It does not leave your skin dry or in pain
• I like that it contains charcoal to get rid of excess oil and dirt 
• It does not have a strong smell
• It diminishes your pores
• It leaves my skin smooth and soft
• More importantly, it leaves my skin totally clean

 However:

I have sensitive skin so I am very picky when it comes to skin care. I have try many brands before but they all left my skin feeling a bit dry or red. I really like that after I use it, my skin feels clean and soft. However, I have only use it four times since I only have a small sample. I have a lot of acne scars that I wish to eliminate. Since I only used it a few of times, I can't fully guarantee that it erases scars or treats acne. I have some pimples and acne in my face and it does not help much to treat it which was a major let down.

 Conclusion

My score is 3/5.  I would have given it a higher rating since I love the cleansing properties of the scrub but it did not help me clear my completion. However, I want to be fair so I have decided to purchase a full size sample and use it for a longer period of time. I will be able to do a more in detail review of it. 

It is said to remove stains from dark polish, smoke and foods.

Since I do nail designs most of the time and I mostly use dark nail polish, every time I remove my nail polish I have to put nail polish again because my nails are stained. So, I have been trying to find a way to whiten my nails. While I was at Sally Beauty Supply, I found this paste and thought I should try it out. It costs $3.99 and $3.59 for Beauty Club members.

This is that information that you can find about this paste in www.SallyBeauty.com:

• Helps eliminate yellowing
• Great for artificial and natural nails
• For extreme cleansing and brightening
• Non-abrasive
• Includes brush

ASP Whitening Nail Paste effectively removes stains from the nails due to dark polish, smoke, colored and dye. Cleanses nail beds and whitens nails. Yellow stains will be a thing of the past and your nails will look glamorous.

This is how my nails looked before I use the paste.

This is how they look after I use the whitening paste.

My Rate is 3/5

Reasons:

Pros: Good cleanser

Cons: Tiny amount

• I love how clean it makes my nails, but you have to work at it. Great scrubbing brush is included. 
• It's not perfect, but I like it, especially for the price. 
• Too little in the tube and I have to keep buying more.

I will not be purchasing this product again. Even though it does clean my nails, it requires a lot of scrubbing and the tube does not have a lot of product. But most importantly after using it makes my nails feel dry.
