I got this from Daiso, RM5 for a lip gloss seems reasonable.
This has a thick serumy feel; but spreads easily and does sink in. It made my lips look glossy, fuller and feel moist.
However it is not long lasting. I like this for nightly treatment. Slather on generous layer just before hitting bed.
May not be tempted for repurchase but definitely a great choice for travels.
Whenever I plan for a holiday I always hope for a hotel bathroom with a tub. I love a hot relaxing soak after a day of endless walking.
I usually come back with aching feet and sore back from extreme shopping lol. A hot soak would just melt the tension away..
I bought a couple of different variant from Daiso sometime ago.. and now that I'm in KL for a short trip; it is about time to try them out.
Tonight - Wild Rose. Pour the sachet into running water. I find one sachet didn't do much in a tub of water so I used 2. Ooh.. bright pink water. Smells floral... not exactly rose but nice though.
I soaked for about 20mins with a face mask on and after that find some slippery feel on my skin. And the dry skin on my heels started to peel off; revealing soft skin. Leaves a mild lingering sweet scent after. Love it!
A pack of 3 sachets costs RM5 and I am looking forward to try another tomorrow :)
2 weeks ago, while I was in KL for my books haul; I stopped by Daiso at One Utama to check out whats newer than those in Penang.
Hmm compression socks for RM5?! I had to try this!
I mostly wear this at night for about 4 hours, removing them just before bedtime. The size M-L fits just nice, snug but not too tight it becomes painful.
I don't know about the increase in blood circulation or other health benefits. But what I do realize when I check myself out at the mirror ( yes I do that often... you know you do it too :P ), my calves look lean and not bloatish (if you know what I mean).
So yay! This is a winner for me :D
What are Compression Socks?
WiseGeek Says:
Compression socks
are specialized hosiery items designed to provide extra support and increase
blood circulation. The main purpose of compression socks is to
provide graduated pressure on the lower leg and foot.
The key to understanding compression socks lies in their graduated pressure
application. Throughout an average day, the body pumps blood to all of the
extremities as equally as it can. Gravity, however, often causes blood to pool
in the lower legs and feet, causing circulatory problems such as edema, phlebitis and thrombosis.
At the
very least, all of this blood pooling can cause fatigue and leg cramps. Elevating the
legs and feet may alleviate the pain temporarily, but it often returns after a
few hours of constant standing or walking.
This is where the use of compression socks can be extremely beneficial. Compression socks use
stronger elastics such as rubber or spandex to create
significant pressure on the legs, ankles and feet. By compressing the surface
veins, arteries and muscles, the circulating blood is forced through narrower
channels.
The arterial pressure is increased, causing more blood to return to
the heart and less blood to pool in the feet. Compression socks are
tightest at the ankles, gradually become less constrictive towards the knees.
The soles of compression socks may be heavily padded for better shock
absorption.
