REVIEW: Nike Comfort Flip Flops

Hello all, and yes if you have noticed, I have started to review shoes. Just thought of trying to review new things other than beauty products for a change. After my cheap flip flops broke on me in public, I was traumatized and swore i would never wear flip flops again. Plus, a lot of them always hurt my feet after long periods of wear. BUT, because sometimes it is just annoying to wear socks and tennis shoes, especially in hot weather, I decided that I need flip flops. I saw these flip flops a while back but because of the price, I actually held back. To be honest, the most expensive pair of flip flops I ever bought were around $7, so the idea of paying more than $20 for a pair of flip flops were outrageous. But then again, it's a pair of Nike flip flops and that just makes a big difference. I own a few pairs of Nike shoes and they are super durable, so the trauma of them breaking in public somewhat lessened for me. Another thing is that they are SOOOOO SOFT. SOFT! It uses me

REVIEW: Reebok Skyscape Runaround Shoes

Hello all, today I really want to review a pair of shoes that I have bought about 4 months ago. It started when I was looking through a magazine and saw these shoes on one of the pages. The color of the shoe was cute and the advertisement for it really made me want a pair. It was noted as being a really comfortable and lightweight shoe. Apparently, the materials of the shoe are made from the same fabrics as bras, so its definitely really soft. The best thing about the shoe that reeled me in? Its machine washable! The shoe comes in a few colors, and if you want patterned ones (those look so nice!), they will cost extra, but i dont have the extra money for that, nor do i feel it is necessary. The shoe itself is quite pricey (around $60-70), and if you want the best deal on this shoe, i suggest looking through the online shops first and compare the prices. The prices are around the same but you might get deals such as certain % off, etc, which will make the shoe a bit cheaper than o

REVIEW: Olay Regenerist Luminous

Next Up: Olay Regenerist Luminious!!  I was really excited when this product was released as I am a big fan of Olay products.  Some images of the box.  Here are the claims:  "-reduces appearance of dark spots over time -brightens, exfoliates, smoothes -regenerates skin's appearance to help recapture healthy looking, youthful luminosity"  "-first use: intense hydration immediately refreshes and illuminates skin  -2 weeks: skin looks visibly younger  -8 weeks: the appearance of dark spots and discoloration are diminished to reveal vibrantly, even skin tone".  Images of the jar itself and how the cream looks like.  Jar looks exactly like the regenerist brand, except not red in color.  The cream itself is a peachy color, whereas the regenerist is white.  The scent is a bit more stronger than the regenerist, but overall, i really like the scent because it smells quite refreshing to me.  In comparison with t

REVIEW: Daiso Face Cleaning Brush

Ok! back with another review. I want to get as many reviews that i have on hand waiting to complete by today!  Daiso face washing brush. Costs only $1.50.  Actually, I'm not entirely sure if they still sell these. I went to my local Daiso about a week ago and I did not see these in stock.  I remember many months back a customer at Daiso was actually asking the staff if they still sold these, only to realize that they were sold out, so I'm guessing this item is really popular.  Apparently, this brush is said to help you clear your pores and remove excess oil and debris from your face.  Its actually quite simple to use.  Just put your desired face wash onto the brush, rub it to get the foam started and use it to massage over your face.  According to the date of the image, I have had this item since Dec 2013... I'm still using the same one now..so it has been around 7-8 months? Quite durable if you ask me. No signs of wear at all. I only use it once

REVIEW: Flawless Raspberry Ketone

Hello all, I must say that i am terribly sorry for not keeping up to date with my reviews. I am really far behind on many things.. Today, I will start off with a review on the flawless raspberry ketone. this thing is a SCAM !  I had initially seen this on a magazine, and it was highly recommended, saying that you can get a free trial on their website.  Since it was recommended on the magazine, and it was a free trial  (just had to pay 4.95 for shipping) i thought, ok why not.  turns out the website was really misleading.  when i received it by mail, it was only then that i read the card they gave in the mail saying that i had to call in or email to cancel my order within 14 days if i was not satisfied with the product or i would be charged FULL price for the item.  what's even worse? I HAD TO RETURN THE REMAINDER OF THE PILLS TOO.  i was beyond furious. The website said free trial but said nothing about having to return the pills or calling in to

REVIEW: Olay Fresh Effects Dew over, hydrating gel moisturizer

Hello all! terribly sorry for the super long delay in posting reviews! i have been super busy lately that i have neglected this blog :( anyway, today i would like to review Olay fresh effects moisturizer! i have been using this for more than 2 months or so already. here are the images of the box, bottle and contents!  I was actually really happy that they released this because i was really looking forward to being able to purchase an olay moisturizer in the USA instead of having to buy it overseas. (i use aquaction, which apparently does not sell here in the USA. not sure why though)  this cost me around $13 at target.  upon opening the bottle, i really like the scent. it is really floral and sweet. in comparison to the aquaction, it is a bit different. aquaction in my opinion is more of a watery scent and calming, refreshing and clear to me. This is also calming as well, but not as subtle in scent compared to aquaction i guess. Both are good in

REVIEW: Daiso Collagen Sleeping Pack

Hello all! Once again it has been a while. i have been very busy with my studies lately and i feel really bad for neglecting my blog :( anyway here is the long awaited review for Daiso's collagen sleeping pack. "Makes the skin moist while sleeping"  100G or APPROX 3.4 FL OZ "Collagen arranges in order skin wave and makes your skin supple and shiny while sleep"  HOW TO USE:  -Arrange skin wave with lotion or skin after cleansing. Apply and spread over the face, except around the eyes and the mouth. Go to sleep and wash up in the next morning. Please use three times or 4 times a week.  Made in Korea  Here is how it looks. It is a clear gel. Fragrance-wise, it is not flowery or fruity. The smell is somewhat similar to the moisture gels- unscented lotion.  How it looks when applied to hand and after glossing it over my hand.  REVIEW:  I must admit that i was quite surprised at how smooth and soft this product made my

REVIEW: Neutrogena Foot Cream

Hello all! second review of the day! i keep telling myself to finish up reviews on products that i have delayed for a while now, but i keep getting new products and i cant help but review it. it works! the title of the product as shown is: Neutrogena foot cream.  norwegian formula: complete comfort concentrated relief for dry rough feet back of box (as quoted):  "especially recommended for dry heels and calluses, this concentrated formula delivers a full day's moisturization with every use. use daily to restore skin's softness and help keep dry patches from coming back. just a small amount leaves feet feeling noticeably softer and smoother." i happened to stumble across this at my local Walmart and it costs $3 for 2oz. I believe they sell it at Target as well for $1 more.  they also have a hand cream version of this but i did not buy it because my hands do not need repair. my feet do!  image of what the cream looks like.  it so

REVIEW: Daiso Cleansing Foam Hyaluronic Acid

Hello all, I totally almost forgot to review the hyaluronic acid! i used this during break when i was at home, and unfortunately i also left it at home, meaning i dont have any pictures of it. this will be a quick review since theres really not a lot to say about the product. BUT! it is basically the same thing as the collagen one i reviewed before  click here im pretty sure they state similar things on the bottle. onward to the review, i want to state that it is indeed very similar to the collagen cleansing foam in terms of color and texture. as for smell, i dont really remember, i just know that the scent is very faint. now, if you ask which one i like more, i would say the hyaluronic acid. why? because it gives more of a squeaky clean feel. the collagen gives you a 'ooh so soft feel' more than the squeaky clean feel. both has its disadvantages though. one thing i dont really like about the hyaluronic cleansing foam is that it made my skin peel. not sure if it
