King's Crown - Grüner Tee (Green Tea) - Mango-Kokos (Mango-Coconut)

This is a flavoured green tea where the flavour is actually a taste not a smell.

It's a fun tropical twist on normal green tea.

I don't have a photo because I drank it all.

Price: 5/5 ($1.36 for 20 bags)
Rating: 5/5

Koawach - Pfefferminz - Organic Hot Chocolate with Peppermint

This hot chocolate mix is fair trade, organic, and vegan.

A 100g bag is meant for 10 cups... I like my hot chocolate strong, so this was not true for me.

It has guarana (and thus caffeine) as it is intended as a coffee substitute.
I don't know if it works for a coffee substitute, as it has a lot of sugar, but the caffeine certainly has an effect.

*If you want a low-caffeine, mineral rich coffee substitute, try unsweetened cocoa.

I do wish it had more peppermint flavour but I'm like my mother in that way, if something is 'peppermint' then I want it to be 'PEPPERMINT'.
Overall this is quite nice.

Price: 1/5 ($6.24 for 100g)
Taste: 4.5/5 (moar peppermint plz)

Masquerade! - Lacura Spa - Cloth Face Mask - Toning

This mask contains ginseng, which I am usually not a fan of, but it was ok in this mask.

It smells a bit like vegetables, but it isn't bad.

My skin really liked this one.

Shiseido - White Lucent - Brightening Moisturising Emulsion

I quite liked this, the sample even came in a glass bottle, which was really nice.

The scent it faint and almost soapy, but not unpleasant.
It leaves the skin looking really nice.

If I had the money for this I would buy it again.

Price: 1/5 (~$90 for 74mL)

L'Oréal - Hydra Genius - Aloe Water - Normale haut bis mischhaut

This is from Glossybox!

It has a very green scent, with a marine component.

It is lightweight, hydrating, and my oily skin likes it a lot.
I didn't think I would like it as much as I did!

I could see this being popular during summer.

Price: 4/5 ($14.78 for 70mL)

Same Product, Different Colour - Avon - Ultra Color Rich 24K Gold Lipstick - Golden Peach

This is a golden peach colour, with gold glitter.

Over nude lips.

It was quite nice :)

Same Product, Different Colour - Revlon - Ultra HD - Matte Lipcolour - Passion

This is a cooler toned red than the 'Passion' shade.

This one is less 'rich' than the other two I have tried, more translucent, and this saddens me.

Crabtree & Evelyn - Iris - Eau de Toilette

This is a straight iris scent, and is quite lovely.

I only wish it were a little stronger (but it would be nice for someone who just wants the tiniest touch of fragrance).


Fragrantica lists the notes as bergamot (no), cassis (no), iris (yes), orris root (no), vetyver (no), musk (no), sandalwood (no), patchouli (no), and Virginia cedar (no).

I don't know where they think all those notes are hiding.

Season: Spring

Rimmel - Lasting Finish - Powdered Foundation - 002 Soft Beige

This is a pretty nice powder.

It applies well, is low coverage (my personal preference), and has a sponge and mirror in the compact.
It is a little annoying to have to put the mirror down to put more powder on the sponge, but they did it to save space.

The end result isn't cakey, which is ideal.

Price: 2.5/5 ($17.95 for 7g)
Scent: 2.5/5 (no real scent)
