Fragrance Mists and Body Mists Review

I tend to acquire decants and samples when I'm in a midst of a crash out (I'd buy actual perfumes whenever I'm in dire mental straits if my funds allow me but it does not!), so might as well put my quick thoughts about them. I'll try to update this list as I try new ones. Bath & Body Works ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ (I have repurchased these) Wild Honeysuckle - FANTASTIC! One of their more complex fragrances that I've tried. Honey right out of the gate. Smells briefly of kisses (type of aroma beads that was popular in the 90s). Then you get a burst of overwhelming jasmine flowers before settling in to subtle medley of florals. Disappointing longevity however, even for a fragrance mist. Wish I could find something that smells the same but would stay much longer. Moonlight Path  - Smells like powdery, musky flowers. Some people would say old lady perfume but this is actually one of my favorites. THE PERFECT BEDTIME SCENT! One thing I've learned is scents either get reformulat...

A'Pieu Honey & Milk Lip Balm

Image
I admit I'm a lip balm whore  hoarder. Even at groceries or drugstores, if I see one that I haven't tried before I'm just itching to buy it! I think it's because lip balms are usually cheap that's why I always end up buying one even if I still have several other lip balms lying around the house. Enter A'Pieu Honey & Milk Lip Balm. The packaging is bright and cute so it was hard to pass it up. Main active ingredients are: Honey - makes lip skin healthy Milk Protein Extracts - makes lips firm and moisturized Vitamin E acetate - skin protectant I have chappy lips days prior to using it, and it has calmed the chapping down after around 1-2 days of mild use. I do not lick my lips so I don't really reapply lip balm that much. I don't know if I'm just crazy but the smell reminds me also of sponge cakes that are baked with lemon rind. I do not think there is any lemon or citrus ingredients list, but the perfume may be citrus based....

A'Pieu x Crayon Shin Chan Deep Clean Clear Water Review

Image
A’PIEU Deep Clean Clear Water is a water based cleansing water ideal for cleansing make up residue. The key ingredients are Baking Soda (helps in purifying pores) and Heroget Carbonated water (containing enriched minerals for clarifying skin).  To be honest I only got this because of Crayon Shin Chan. Most toners/cleansing waters from Korean brands that I've tried are either too mild or just leaves a 'moist' feeling after use. It's not necessarily bad, in fact I think gentle/moist cleansers are preferred by most nowadays but it's just much more satisfying for me whenever I get that squeaky clean feeling after using a toner so I'm really happy that this one does just that. I'm not sure if Deep Clean Clear Water is part of their regular line and I really hope it does so I can still purchase it when this one runs out (in case they retire the design soon, it's still on the website but I also saw a Doraemon face contour set on their website recently a...
