My Opinion:

If you have been following my blog, you must be aware that I hardly ever review body moisturizers, and that's because I don't like body lotions or body butters. I really don't like creamy products on my body, but that's just a personal preference.

I used to have really oily skin, so for the past 20 years I've never really needed a body moisturizer, but for the last few years my skin is no longer oily and since then I've always used baby oil, it does the job, but I just got bored of it, and wanted to try something new.

I've recently finished a bottle of L'occitane Almond Supple Skin Oil (it took me 2 years to finish it), and I've really liked it and will definetly repurchase, but I'm currently taking a break from it and trying something new.

When I've first started to use the Desert Essence Jojoba Oil, I really hated it, it smells like oil, and I really do prefer something with a nicer scent, but I did notice that my skin felt really good after using it (smooth and soft), so in order to make this work, I've started to mix this with a fragrance oil.

I love the final results, my body feels soft/smooth, but most importantly it smells amazing. I admit that I did went overboard while mixing, I've pour half a bottle of the perfume oil into a bottle of jojoba oil, but the scent was just right, not overbearing, you need to be really close to detect the scent and it lingers on for the whole day.

I've still got a few bottles of perfume oil, so I'll definetly repurchase this Jojoba oil to tailor make my own body oil.

*Certified Organic

My Opinion:

I've initially got this shampoo for daily use, but after using it once, knew immediately that I won't be able to use it on a daily basis, because it will dry out my hair. I've been using it once every week to remove products build up and have been very satisfy with the results, it left my hair squeaky clean.

This has already replaced my long time favorite Neutrogena Shampoo Anti-Residue Formula, because it delivers the same effect with a much better scent.

My Opinion:

 

This cleanser smells weird, and I seriously dislike the scent, but I'm willing to put up with it because it really does cleanse my face, and it keeps it from breaking out. Even if I do break out I can actually feel the cleanser desinfecting the wound and it heals alot faster than usual.

 

I've recently finished my bottle and have already order 2 more, I think this is going to be my favorite summer cleanser.

找的意見：

這支潔面gel的味非常之難聞，但我一直都忍受它，因為它能徹底清潔皮膚，而且重有殺菌功能，用後小了出暗粒和暗瘡，就算真的出了都比以往快好。

 

剛用完了一支，而馬上再買了兩支回來，今個夏天應該都只會用這支潔面gel洗面。
