Tea Advent Calendar - Day 24 - Genussmomente (Moments of Pleasure)


This tea has rooibos, date, cranberry, ginger, natural aroma, fig, peppermint, bourbon vanilla, and mango.

It also has rice flour and vegetable oil from the dried fruit.


It doesn't taste like much of anything. I can smell the mango and feel the cool of the peppermint, but that's about it.
It's like a watered down rooibos.

Tea Advent Calendar - Day 13 - 8 Sinnesfreuden (8 Sensual Pleasures)


It kind of looks like Jupiter XD




This tea has
Darjeeling tea SFTGFOP1 (Super Fine Tippy Golden Flowery Orange Pekoe) , Assam tea Tippy Golden, Golden Yunnan black tea, Keemun black tea, natural aroma, cranberry, yellow marigold, and strawberry.



It tastes ...ok. As with many 'flavoured' balck teas though, this is really more of a scent than a taste.


Also, why put nice teas in this if your just going to put flavour over it? Why blend it?

The Body Shop - Shimmer Lotion - Frosted Cranberry


They are NOT KIDDING when the call this a 'shimmer lotion'!
It is from the 2015 holiday collection.

I put it on and was shimmering worse than a lame vampire.


The smell is really nice, a sweet cranberry.
It absorbs well and leaves the skin feeling soft.

Price: 2/5 (~$20 for 250mL)
Scent: 4/5
Effectiveness: 5/5

Brazilian Butterfly - Gorgeous Goji Berry - Body Lotion


This is nice and thick. It absorbs well and is quite moisturising.

It unfortunately smells like flour and cranberries, which is awful!
Every time I caught a whiff of it, it really bugged me.

Perhaps give this one a miss.

Price: 3/5 ($18.00 for 200mL)
Scent: 0/5
Effectiveness: 4/5

Clearasil - Superfruits Refreshing Toner


This is an alcohol-based toner that works really well at removing makeup.
Since it is alcohol-based, it stings quite badly when it gets in your eye.

So many causes of bloodshot eyes and this is the easiest to fix (also the lamest).

Also, you want to follow up this toner with a moisturiser, as it will dry your skin.

The scent (raspberry and cranberry) is SO lovely!
It is almost enough to make me purchase it again.

The packaging is great, it didn't leak at all.

Price: 3/5 ($10.99 for 200mL)
Scent: 5/5
Effectiveness: 4/5
