Hi All,

Today I will be reviewing this item:

Note that I received this item at a discounted price in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.

So let's start with the appearance: very nice and probably great for gifting.

Issue? No tape to seal the cap, and it can fall off very easily.

Secondly, please look below- I received a dented tin. Definitely CANNOT be gifted at this point.

The whole tin is nearly in chinese, except for one small portion in the back where they teach you how to cook the tea, but the english translations are literally useless.

This is how they look like inside. You get two vacuum sealed pouches of tea leaves

I did not take pictures of the tea leaves, but they look like rolled up leaves...

Issues with this item...

1. Although they state the product is oolong tea, nowhere on the tin does it say "oolong". Tea connoisseurs, please correct me if I'm wrong.

2. Further emphasizing my first point.. In chinese, they have the following:

品名：茶叶

成分：天然茶叶

This literally translates to:

name: tea leaves

ingredients: natural (or organic) tea leaves

Again, does not state it is oolong.

Says that it is made in Taiwan.

Also, it states that it can be kept for 1 year, BUT date of manufacturing is nowhere to be seen on the tin. The bottom of the tin has a label (which I forgot to take a picture of), stating that the tea is good until 5/01/2018- so I'm guessing that it was manufactured around May of this year.

Back of tin has a brief background about the tea and where it is collected, but I won't get into that, as there's too much to translate.

3. Does not taste like oolong. I have had oolong before and they are dark in color, somewhat bitter, and strong. This tea is very LIGHT in color, slightly bitter, and not strong at all. Maybe I used too much water? I don't know. I just feel like it doesn't taste like oolong at all.

Although I stated that it doesn't taste like oolong at all, it also has its advantages. The tea is rather soothing to drink, and I quite like the taste. I don't like how misleading the tin is though.

REVIEW: Differentiating Between AUTHENTIC and FAKE Chanel Fragrance

Hi All, today I will be doing a review on AUTHENTIC vs FAKE Chanel Fragrances . As a disclaimer , I DO NOT claim to be an expert in authenticating Chanel fragrances. These are all based on my own research and personal experience. Please take a look at pictures of this No 5 Chanel Perfume that I bought off Ebay. Just by looking at the BOX itself, everything actually looks pretty good. I even received this item BRAND NEW, with the clear plastic wrap on it. BUT, it is actually a FAKE. surprise! Now, let's look at the perfume bottle. I have circled some of the issues with the bottle. INDICATOR #1 OF A FAKE PERFUME: Take a look at the base of this bottle. It is uneven. on the authentic, it should be symmetrical on both ends. The cap is LOOSE. I am unable to show this on the photo, but the cap comes right off and does not snap onto the bottle. I can't say much about the smell ...

Fake vs Authentic Chanel Perfume Part 2

Hi all, here is a PART 2 on Fake vs Authentic Chanel If you have not already, please click HERE to read the first post I put up regarding fake vs real. At the time of that review, I did not have an authentic No 5 bottle with me to compare with the fake I received. I finally got some authentic bottles and will show some photo comparisons. IF you have already ready my previous review, then you will know that the one on the left is the FAKE. I purchased a tester bottle of an authentic. Note that the authentic is an Eau Premiere (EP), and not Eau De Parfum (EDP). EP is a modernized, lighter version of the EDP, but in terms of bottles, they are pretty much the same. So right off the bat, the "N5" font already shows noticeable differences. On the fake, the N is wider, and thicker than the authentic. C H A N E L is also spaced differently as is P A R I S Bottom of the bottles. Again, on the authentic the text i...

REVIEW: Deep C Moisture Gel, Collagen + Reply to Comments Received!

Hello all! This is a reply to the comments i have received as well as a quick review. I managed to squeeze in some time right now to post here haha. First off, I was asked a question about the Q10 Milky Lotion that I reviewed and stated that I would get back to the person who asked if this product was safe on the face. To be honest, I only tried it on my face for about 3 days, because I totally forgot about it the remainder of the days. Sorry! >-< BUT, yes it is safe on the face . it actually makes your face quite soft and smooth too! I actually used it with the Q10 Moisture Lotion (which i have not reviewed yet), and I'm guessing that serves somewhat as a toner to keep your face moist. Secondly, I received a comment by Mandy today and I would love to reply here in this post! Thank you very much for the praise! I am glad that my reviews are convincing and are helpful to you! Your comment has made me very happy, along with others who have sent me comm...
