Caudalie Winter Rescue Duo 7.20GBP
As I mentioned before, I have really sensitive lips and when I use lip balm which doesn't match my lips, they get chapped hard and start bleeding because of dryness. This lip balm by Caudalie really really nourishes and hydrates my lips and I immediately repurchased when I finished my 1st one.
This time, I got this Winter Rescue Duo because the lip balm itself costs 4.95 pounds and it's only 2.25 pounds more and has got this miniature hand cream with it! I always wanted to try their hand cream and thought this small one would be ideal to keep in my handbag.
The consistency of this hand cream is perfect. It's not too thick and not too loose, yet doesn't make my hands greasy at all. I use a computer for more than 10 hours a day at work, and having a greasy hand to hold my mouse is the last thing I want. It moisturizes my hands without being heavy which I really like! Apparently it contains the grape extract which is beneficial for your skin, also shea butter and avocado oil moisturize your hands.
I'm not going to go on and on about the lip balm but I really really recommend this to those who's got chapped lips that nothing can repair. Because this one can! I am sure I will repurchase it when I run out of this one.
Over all this little bag of winter rescues is very satisfying. Both hand cream and lip balm are true winter essentials. If you're interested in the lip balm, I recommend this set so that you can enjoy the hand cream as well!
Here's a little thing I want to share, I'm banned from wearing contact lenses because of my allergy (did I have an allergy? really?) and my glasses give me a headache. It makes it really hard to blog because I cannot see ANYTHING without contact lenses or glasses. Especially looking at the computer screen makes my head pounding so I have to stay away from blogging for about a week or two :( Still I will blog a bit but maybe not every day like I have been.
Anyway, thanks for stopping by and read my blog, oh and I put the links to all of my pages like Twitter, Instagram and yes I finally made my Facebook page, so have a look if you're interested! :)
Sunshine Spa Rest and Relax Therapeutics Bath and Body Oil $9.23
I purchased this oil from Vitacost.com when I was looking for a nice bath oil / salt for a relaxing bath time. Sunshine Spa Organics is an American beauty brand which makes the finest quality natural/organic and fair trade bath and body products.
The product description on Vitacost :
Rest & Relax Therapeutic Bath & Body Oil with Kava Kava and Valerian in our Ayurvedic Blend of Oils.
Rest & Relax is Sunshine Spa's ultimate stress reliever. Infused
with the powerful herbal extracts of Kava Kava and Valerian and the
essential oil of Lavender, this exclusive spa blend eases the stress and
tension of daily life.
I NEED good smelling bath oil or bath salt when I take a bath because to be honest I hate taking a bath. It's hot and humid which makes my magazine wet, and it's hard to breath and simply tiring. But I try to take a bath especially in winter to warm up my body because I have a poor circulation.
This oil smells absolutely fantastic and it encourages me to take a bath. The blend with lavender, chamomile, bargamot and sandalwood smells so comforting and relaxing. It actually contains valerian which is a plant which stinks like hell but is used for treatment of insomnia, and kava kava that loosen your muscles that gets hard by stress. Thankfully I don't smell any hints of valerian which is a good thing, I only smell a fantastic blend of essential oils.
It's in this type of plastic bottle and I just pour about two teaspoon of the oil into the bathtub. It's just a normal oil so it doesn't get dissolved and is just floating at the water level and makes the whole bathroom slippery but I just love the smell so much.
I also use it as a body oil sometimes, I usually prefer body cream but when I want to enjoy the scent I apply a small amount of this oil on my arms and legs. It moisturize my skin well, but to avoid getting all greasy I apply it on my wet skin.
It seems like there were more than 5 different scents of the oil but sadly most of them are discontinued. I'm scared if this particular scent is actually discontinued too. I checked out their official website but it doesn't have any important information and I haven't found out. If you're interested, you can purchase it at Vitacost that I put the link above :)

Revlon Color Burst Lip Butter
I know it's a bit late to talk about this product but I have to because I'm pretty excited to finally get them! I wanted to try sooner because there was a huge hype going on, but it's really expensive in Japan and I didn't want to pay 1500yen for a tinted lip balm. I found a very good deal on eBay and got two different colours for $7-8 each.
Peach Parfait is sold in Japan but Tutti Frutti is not so I was excited to try out. I usually don't wear lipstick especially in orange, so it was a challenge for me but I wanted to try because recently I wear brown eyeshadows a lot and thought this colour would go well with brown.
Peach Parfait is such a lovely colour that matches my skin tone.
I was surprised to see how sheer it actually was because it looked pretty dark. This colour brightens up my face without looking overdone.
Tutti Frutti is a very bright orange colour.
And it's very pigmented though I was expecting a bit more sheer pigmentation. The colour is a little bit too bright and strong for me so I just tap it on my lips instead of applying it fully, to give a hint of orange.
Overall I really like the product although I made a mistake on picking a colour which matches my skin tone. It's moisturizing and I love how sheer Peach Parfait is! Have you tried this product? Did you like it?
