Collective Lush Haul/Review






I've picked up some Lush products over the past month and I want to share them with you/give a little review.To note,some of these products,like Jersey Bounce,Charity Pot body lotions and Aromaco deodorant are from Hong Kong's Lush when my relatives went there a month ago.Personally,I thought it was a nice surprise to get Lush products from them when I didn't expect them to get stuff for me.

FACE

This cleanser has a calming charcoal smell and made of natural ingredients.I have used the mini tester and it leaves my skin soft and matte.It calms down my skin and tones down redness too! What I like about Lush cleansers is that you can build the consistency of it the way you want and a even a thin layer works well.However, your sink might get messy when using Dark Angels.Overall,I think this cleanser is lovely to use if you don't mind the mess or spend a bit more time to wash your face .

HAIR
At first,I wasn't sure what a shampoo with ingredients such as a free-range egg,linseed and sea salt would be like.When I checked it out online,there were many positive reviews about this shampoo.I was rather surprised and it smells amazing.The hints of lemon and sea salt are so refreshing! I'm excited to try this out,but I have to wait until I'm done with my current shampoo.

BODY
 This product is new to me as I've never used a solid deodorant before.I normally just use sprays or roll-ons. As Singapore is humid and very hot most of the time,trying to stay 'dry' is quite challenging-especially for me as I sweat easily. I've used a small amount of this so far and it is good at leaving my skin dry and soft.Although,I'm not sure if I would get it again as it is something out of my comfort zone for deodorants.Who knows? Maybe I'll grow to like solid deodorants some day?

When life gives you lemons,don't make lemonade-make a soap out of it.I'm pretty sure that's what Lush has done and now my life is filled with this lemon craze-Queen Bey's Lemonade album,Lemongrab,this soap bar and the lemon fruit.I love this soap bar because of the uplifting lemon scent and the bar looks incredible.I'm not sure if it's just me or it has this marble-effect with the lemon bits? Anyways,I'm dying to use it because it's perfect for summer and I want to smell like a frickin' lemon.(My kind of goals.)


The Charity Pot body lotion comes in a bigger tub too but I prefer this smaller tub that I have.
The mini pot is very handy,especially when you need to bring around a moisturizer for holiday or in your everyday bag.It smells of essential oils and leaves skin perfumed.What I love about it is that it isn't thick in consistency or leave my skin sticky either.It contains a variety of essential oils and a little bit goes a long way.Furthermore,100% of the proceeds,apart from taxes,go to good causes,such as animal rights.The smell of essential oils might not be my go-to scent but I think it will be very useful when I travel to colder countries.

Thanks for reading this blog post and I do hope that I'll have more time for my blog this year.My O Levels is important and I frequently have exams one after another.Blogging is something that I don't want to miss out on and now that I finally have time to make a post,I appreciate it a lot.

✽ Seoul Haul ✽

Hello everyone! I'm back from my trip to Seoul^^
In my opinion,I didn't buy a lot of stuff but I want to do a haul post anyway.(since I've never done one before,I just went with it.) Enjoy!
*
-disclaimer-
*I'm not bragging or anything,I bought everything here myself*
*If you don't like haul-related stuff,click away.*
1.Wreck this Journal by Keri Smith.
I found this at PageOne in the HK airport while I was waiting for my flight to Seoul.
(I did a short stop-over).I was unable to find this book in Singapore and was really excited when I saw it.There was the original one and the pocket sized version.I chose the small one because it was portable & cheaper :)
Price:$100 HK dollar

2.Cloud Paper Mobile
Bought this at DDP (Dongdaemun Design Plaza-D3)
Planning to do it and hang it in my room
-I forgot the price,but it isn't expensive-.
3.Mini Yankee Candles-with pot
Champaca blossom( Left )-floral scent
Midnight Jasmine ( Middle )-smells refreshing and floral/sweet
Mini candle pot in blue. ( Right )
Got this at a Yankee Candle store near Centermark Hotel
There was no tax at all in that store so my total for everything was $12,400+  rather than $12,700+

4.'Winner' candle by Kang Seung-Yoon (Scent:Sake)
Bought this at KLive (Level 9 of Lotte Fitin)I don't like K pop music in general because it's not my taste.I was there because another family member of mine loves K pop so I had to be there to buy merch .I was surprised that there were candles made by 'Winner' among all the other merch by groups like 2NE1/BigBang which only had mugs/shirts etc.This candle was the only one that smelled the nicest-smells like a mix of  fruits and flowers,really sweet.
The other candles smelled strong/cologne-ish (?)
Price: $12,000 Korean Won

5.Green Tea Latte Sachets
I love green tea lattes,ever since I tried my first one at Incheon airport back in 2012.(when I first went to Korea with a tour group).I  saw this at G25 and intended to bring it back home and make myself a cup.
The box  comes with 10 sachets.You can make it hot/cold.
-Price: somewhere around $4000-5000 Korean Won.I 'm not sure where my receipt went-
6. Pomegranate drink
This was at the Souvenirs & Gifts section of the Incheon airport.I don't know why this was there because it's not really a gift..
I went to a Chinese restaurant in the Gwanghwamun Square museum on the first day,and they served this as a refresher after you had your meal.I had no idea what flavour it was then because it tasted similar to Ribena.Then, I found this drink box 2 days later.It's best served with ice so I thought this would be nice to drink in the summer/when it's hot.
7.Nothing.To.Wear,long-sleeved top.
Before I went to Korea,I saw white, 'I  HAVE NOTHING TO WEAR' sweaters  at New Look and Cotton On.
C.O sells them at $30 while New Look's one is much more expensive. They both look similar and the price is kind of unreasonable (IMO) This top was from a shop called The-Ace in Lotte Fitin.They had a whole rack of clothes for $7000 Korean Won each,which is around $8 in SGD (LEGIT MUCH) Other racks with clothes for $14,000 and $21,000.
Anyways,I picked this out in the $7000 KRW section and bought it.Although it ain't a sweater and lacks the words 'I HAVE',I didn't mind.The inside is soft and has a fuzzy texture.Other colours available are white and grey.

8. F21 Skinny jeans
I was walking by the shops at Myeongdong (around 5pm)  and they had a tall,F21 building.Went in and they had a Women's denim jeans section-each pair for $9,900 KRW.It costs around $11 in SGD.[TOTAL WIN]
F21 now sells autumnal clothes in Korea,which is sort of sad because Singapore is full of sunshine and if you wear a sweater,good luck getting drenched in sweat.
I take ages to try jeans because you have to find your size,take 'em off and wear back your original outfit,so after I was done with F21,I didn't want to continue shopping that day.
