Smell, All Things Nice  

Posted by: Foxy Frangipani

I have been attracted to perfumes lately (well always have, the fever just got worse lately).

I've been eyeing these two gorgeous since last year, but wasn't willing to pay the $$$ lol.

I blame it on Shin's email newsletter.. The National Day sale!
Discounted to 55%? :O My lord... I need to go..

Lookie lookie...


I'll reveal which one I love more ;)

Foxy Frangipani Says: 
Texture: Milky, kinda runny
Scent: Scent free
Nett Wt: 35ml
Color: Thick milk tea
Price: RM29.90 
 
This is very suitable for lazy women :P
Somewhat like a tinted moisturizer, BB Cream, makeup base?
The bottle is kinda small, easy to carry around and not heavy. Give it a good shake and be prepared to be pleasantly surprised :)

The runny texture makes it very easy to apply. As sunscreen I want to cover as many area as possible, so runny milk seems to fit the need. The colour matches my skintone really well.. just blend it. No ghostly white cast.

It says not to apply on the eye area, but I have been going against this advice and not a single millia seed! (touchhhhh woooood) I use a sponge to blend it on my eye area, so coverage is there but not too thick.

It did make me lazier by day.. I slap this on after moisturizer and I'm ready to head out (pity my 1279468 foundations and BB creams!). However I note it tends to get a wee bit sticky by noon. Wee bit. But if I top off with loose powder, ahhh nice! Looks fresh instead. It evens out the skintone really well..

This is now one of my favourite sunscreen. Would re-purchase once I finish my other 652412 sunscreen :P

Nett Wt: 120gm
Scent: Citrusy
Texture: Cream, somewhat like a face wash texture
Price: RM6
Okay, I'll admit it. I bought it because of the price - super super cheap for a hand cream! Who could resist? The scent is actually very refreshing, very limey - the orange oil (why did they label as fragrance free?)

Absorption was quick, and leaves no oily residue or feel. Honestly I can find no fault with this hand cream - IF you're looking for a light weight hand cream. It does moisturize well, just that the staying power is not as long as Crabtree Evelyn's.

At one point of time I find the ingredients rather fishy.. goat's milk? Pure royal jelly and honey - for RM6!? Hmmm...

Anyway, I finished this tube, and not really intending to re-purchase.
I wonder why..

Foxy Frangipani Says:
Texture: Gel
Scent: Like sea breeze
Nett Wt: 8ml (sample)
Color: Blue
I got this in a set together with the facial wash, body wash, and a pouch. At 8ml, it is easy to carry this around, so I popped this into my gym bag. After workout I'll usually remove my makeup and wash my face in the shower.

I apply this after shower, without toner. I find the scent really refreshing and initially feel rather sticky. Minutes after, it was gone. But so is the hydrating properties.
Shortly after application, about when I have my dinner; I didn't feel like my skin is moisturized. Rather disappointing though.

Crabtree & Evelyn Sonoma Valley Hand Therapy  

Posted by: Foxy Frangipani in ,



Crabtree Evelyn Says:
Specially formulated with natural shea butter to soothe and help protect hands.


Foxy Frangipani Says:
Nett Wt: 100ml
Scent: Beautiful, soft scent (hmmm bunch of flowers)
Texture: Cream
Price: RM55 (not sure if the price has increased)


This is one of the hand cream in my favourite list. I love love love the smell, so comfy, soft, like staying in a cosy home kind of feeling. :D
I have this by my bedside, and is a staple each night before I sleep.


Slather on very well, absorbs quickly and soft hands are mine.
It is non sticky and will not stain keypads. I have another one tube at work.
Am not too sure if Crabtree Evelyn still has this, my last couple of visit; I don't think I notice this. Don't go EOL please!


I don't quite fancy the screw cap.. Maybe I'm clumsy. Sometimes I find it a hassle screwing it back or it will just drop off :P


Price wise, probably a little on the pricey side. But one application lasts a couple of washes.. so I didn't have to re-apply very often. Except that I do, cause I really like the smell.... :)
