1. The Body Shop Camomile Sumptuous Cleansing Butter, really enjoyed this cleansing butter for about a month and couple weeks. I used this religiously as my pre-cleanse before going in with a water cleanser. Initially, it felt weird compared to other cleanser I’ve used since it came in a solid form but after awhile, I got used to it and it smells so good. My skin always felt super smooth after using this instead of it feeling like it stripped moisture from my skin, definitely will purchase this. ❤
2. Shiseido Ultimate Sun Protection Broad Spectrum SPF 50+, was a good sunblock to use when my family and I went to Honolulu, Hawaii a couple weeks ago. We used the whole bottle up and we all loved the smell and lightweight watery formula of the sunscreen. We used it everyday when we went to the beach in Hawaii and we were out for hours and did not get sunburnt at all but it could also been we were in the water a lot? I’m not sure but it was a good sunscreen. Definitely will purchase the full size of this. ❤
3. Benefit Cosmetics Eye It’s Potent! Eye Cream, lasted me for quite awhile keep in mind this is a deluxe sample and not a full size but it lasted me for about a month too. You need the tiniest amount of this product because a little goes a long way. It’s super moisturizing and has a faint scent to it but nothing too overpowering which I like a lot. It goes on smoothly and doesn’t leave my eye area oily. I will definitely purchase this too. ❤
4. First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Hydra-Firm Sleeping Cream, was a good face moisturizer for me to use at night. It definitely was a bit thicker than the original ultra repair face moisturizer that I finished up last month. It did have a similar smell to that one too but the interesting part is that I did feel like my face was firmer when using this cream. I enjoyed this cream a lot and will purchase in the full size as well. ❤
5. Philosophy Take A Deep Breath Oil-Free Oxygenating Gel Cream, this works wonders but for me personally, I did not enjoy how scented it was one my face. I felt like whenever I wore this I couldn’t stand the smell so I just washed it off. Maybe that’s just my opinion though and others might like it but it was a pass for me. I don’t think I’ll be repurchasing this. 👎🏻

1. Pre Cleanse: 
To be honest, I never really shopped at lush cosmetics because there was never a store nearby me. The closest lush that was around a thirty to forty minutes drive and I never really bothered going since I had always thought lush stuff was too expensive for me. Last Christmas (2016) was the very first Christmas without my grandma… since she passed away in November so it was tough and in the Chinese culture we weren’t suppose to celebrate any occasions such as birthdays, holidays, weddings and etc and we have a grieving period of 100 days. That being said, I didn’t celebrate Christmas that year or this year since it snowed on Christmas Eve and was still snowing on Christmas Day that we didn’t go up to my cousins house like we usually do.
