Hello from Taiwan!

If you have been following my tweets/ Facebook, you’d know I am off for a vacation in Taiwan I brought my laptop with me since I’ll be here for a while, what’s better entertainment than the laptop should I decide not to go out for a day or two? The weather’s here a little mad, cold yet hot at the same time!

Here’s a short review for something which I randomly picked up at Cosmed (康是美) and I thought I’d share with you whilst I am here.

Biotherm Aqua Relax Moisturizing Body Emulsion

Posted on March 16, 2011 by plue

This was a gift from Kimoko from a while ago.

I never gotten around to using it until a long while back, bringing around with me wherever I go, and I actually never gotten around reviewing this, because it’s actually a bedtime staple for me!

Now this runny lotion smells awesome.It smells crisp and fresh when I squirt it out, it’s a good mix of Calabrian orange, which is actually bergamot after doing a quick Google search and some floral scent which I’m not very sure of, but the combination is just nice. And when I warm them up, it smells warmer, a bit more woody or musky, and a faint trail of lavender could be detected. The woody scent might be the cypress essential oil, but I’m not sure, since I don’t have anything that smells of cypress.

In terms of moisturizing power, it’s good enough for normal skin, but not meant for those really dry areas like the heels.

Johnson’s Body Care Melt Away Stress Daily Calming Lotion

Posted on September 15, 2010 by plue

I have adored Johnson & Johnson’s products for as long as I can remember. My baby stuff are all from Johnson’s. My dad gave me and my sisters based on Johnson’s product. If my memory serves me right, heck, my first moisturizer was from Johnson & Johnson! My mom used it since her teenage years and when I started my skincare, she introduced this to me. I think it was called Johnson & Johnson Baby Cream, and it comes in a peachy pink coloured tube? It’s packaging is very similar to the ones sold in departmental/ drugstores now, but I am not sure if the formula still stays the same. Man, it has been years since I finished off my very last tube of that Johnson’s cream.

Anyway, I digress.

So a long while back, Johnson’s brought in a new line of body product, and I have been itching to try ever since then. It was only when I was in Penang with Kimoko and Luna a few months did I bought the lotion.

To be honest, I didn’t really love this lotion that much at that point of time. Not sure why, but I wasn’t loving it.
