Shiseido - The Skincare - Multi-Energizing Cream

This is a sample courtesy of Miss Buttons.

I love the packaging! A sample in a glass jar, with a white iridescent lid. 

It has a faint floral scent.

It is almost a waxy balm, but it melts as soon as it hits your skin, making it easy to apply.
I wouldn't call it lightweight, it is a bit heavy but ok for night use.

I do feel that my skin feels good, but it could be because it is acting as a barrier (like Vaseline) rather than a moisturiser or because of its ingredients.

Price: 2/5 ($60 for 50mL)
Scent: 3/5
Effectiveness: 4/5

Bloom - Mineral Plus - Lip Butter - Like a Prayer



This is a peach-pink balm that does tint the lips a bit.


If my lips weren't already stained from yesterday's lipstick, I would worry about my natural (blue) lip colour showing.

While it is nice (and I love the mirror in the lid!), it isn't really my thing.
I like all or no colour a lot more.

Price: 4/5 (~$10 for 4g)
Scent: 3/5 (faint vanilla smell)
Effectiveness: 2/5

Kelo-cote Advanced Formula Scar Gel


I have disturbed sleep quite a lot. 
I have nightmares. 
I kick in my sleep (sorry darling Hades, my poor babycat). 
I scratch/stab myself with my nails.
I have been known to talk, to moan, and to let out bloodcurdling screams.
And if you try to wake me, I have been known to punch people. (that isn't me, it's sleepy moz, a different version of me)


A particularly clever friend of mine once woke me with a feather on a stick.

*If you have any suggestions to stop/reduce the nightmares, let me know!

This post arose from me stabbing myself in my sleep.

A while ago I stabbed my chest with a nail whilst asleep and it scarred.
I usually don't mind scars too much, but this one is red and raised.
It is unsightly.

So I looked up recommended scar treatment products and found Kelo-cote Advanced Formula Scar Gel.
It is high in silicon and forms a breathable, protective barrier over the skin.
It has no scent and dries quickly.
It is recommended to apply it twice a day.

So here is the before:


Bottom right is not a bit of nipple, it is my finger holding my top, sorry lads/ladies!

And after a month of use:


See, not a nipple! Also, the lower mark is a sexy, sexy pimple.

Verdict: It isn't a dramatic difference, but I'm going to keep going with it, because there is some improvement.

Price: 1/5 ($38.42 for 6g)
Scent: 2.5/5 (no scent)
Effectiveness: 2.5/5
