[Review] Starbucks Tazo® Chai Tea Latte



Today, I tried Chai Tea Latte from Starbucks. And honestly, I don't really like it. The chai taste wasn't very strong and the fact that it wasn't sweet like Coffee Bean's got me quite upset because I love sweet stuff.

Will buy again?
No.

[Review] The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf Chai Tea Latte

Chai is a black tea that tastes a little spiced.

The Chai Tea Latte I tasted at Coffee Bean was wonderful. I love the sweetness of the tea latte which is actually from the vanilla powder. Yet at the same time, I could taste the chai completely.

Will buy again?
Yes.

[Review] Montagne Jeunesse Red, Hot Earth Sauna Masque



Product description:

A warming feeling as comforting as a cuddle – this masque heats on contact with damp skin. It’s simply heavenly. The texture is divine – thick and luxurious. You can feel the heat penetrating the skin as you relax. Your skin is left so soft and radiant.

Does it work?
OMG YES YES BABY! I love this so so much! The claim is so true! Why is it better than the one Garnier has? Because the heat was more intense (which may not be liked by others) and lasted longer.

Fragrance:
Strong fragrance yet not so overwhelming. Not a major fan of the smell but will not complain because the product DELIVERS and that's all that matters.

Will buy again?
DEFINITELY YES!

[Review] Garnier Pure Self-Heating Sauna Mask



Product description:

The formula generates a self-heating 3 minutes action on contact with the skin and works to remove impurities and excess sebum that can block pores. Your skin feels deeply cleansed and looks shine-free. It feels purified for up to 7 days.

Does it work?
I love this because it really has a sauna effect. The moment you apply it, you can feel a mild heating effect on the skin and I love the warmth.

However, I prefer Montagne Jeunesse's Red, Hot Earth Sauna Masque more. I will do the review for it later and explain why.

Fragrance:
I don't hate the smell, but I don't love it either. It was an okay scent for me.

Will buy again?
Maybe. But honestly it depends on my mood.

[Review] Aqua Rine Japanese Aroma - Milk Bath Salt



Product description:

Specially added with milk formula and with ingredients like lactose and vitamin, it effectively moisturizes skin to keep it smooth and radiant. A combination with natural sea salt leads to smoother and youthful looking skin.

Does it work?
I love the coarse and evident salt that it has. It can be pretty rough for people with sensitive skin or for people who dislike coarse bath salt. However, I personally love that the salt is coarse.

Fragrance:
How does milk smell like anyway? I don't know. But I didn't like the smell at all. It has an overwhelming smell but at the same time, it doesn't smell like much. It's pretty contradictory but that's my take on its fragrance.

Will buy again?
No because the smell was a major turn-off for me.

[Review] Reipinol'A Sealange Lifting Facial Mask



Product Description

Sealange Lifting Facial Mask is an individually packaged, soft cloth facial mask and contains seaweed extract, rich in natural marine minerals, vitamins and trace elements, to replenish nourishment, firm, tighten and lift away the sins of aging.

Does it work?
I don't know whether it was the sleep or this mask, but I work up to smooth and happy skin and gave off a subtle glow :)

Fragrance:
This has a light scent that doesn't smell of chemicals. It is a very light smell that reminded me of "natural".

Will buy again?
Yes, if I don't see anything else I like during my shopping trip.

[Review] Purederm: Botanical Choice Dark Circle Reducer



Does it work:
I think my dark eye circles are hereditary so I guess NOTHING can eliminate them. So this product does not reduce the dark circle. It serves no moisturizing purposes as well, so this is a totally useless product.

Fragrance:
This seems to be fragrance-free, meaning no smell whatsoever at all. And that is a no-no for me because I love fragrances.

Will buy again?
NO WAY DUDE. It's a complete waste of money.
