L'OCCITANE Angelica Face Toner Review

Never a fan of face toner, it is usual of me to never finish a bottle of toner. I have been using the travel size for some time and I thought this is not too bad? Determined to fix my dry + oily skin, I thought perhaps I should revisit using a toner. Hence I purchase this a month ago.

The verdict -- again, I didn't quite like the sticky feeling it leaves behind when I first started to use it. After 2 weeks, I can't go without it! After my morning and night cleansing routine everyday, I have the urge to pat my face over with this Angelica Face Toner every time and I look forward to using it!

Nine West Exclusive from Zalora

Purple is my favorite color. I saw this pair of peep toe shoes on Zalora, by Nine West Exclusive. I didn't know how is "exclusive" different from the normal Nine West, but they are definitely cheaper. I bought this pair for SGD 49. 

They fit perfectly and comfortably. However the quality of this shoe is just terrible! The inner side starts to peel on the first day wearing it! I am not sure if a worn, damage product is covered in their 30 days return policy. I chose to keep them because they are still comfortable nonetheless. Look at this terrible peeling by yourself...

Shame on you Nine West Exclusive(ly low quality)

L'OCCITANE Pivoine Flora Solid Perfume Review

L'OCCITANE Pivoine Flora Solid Perfume

I would have never pick up this vintage little tin if it was not because I had to top up my purchase in order to receive a free gift set. Well I was almost there and I would want to try out there latest Aromachologie collection! What more for free.

This pretty little tin of Pivoine (pronounced as "pi-vua-ne" or Peony in English) Flora solid perfume retails at SGD 18. The sales girl totally sold it to me. I asked her what is this? Is it lip balm? She chuckled a little and explain that it's actually perfume, but you're right that it is commonly mistaken as a lip balm, it is also as easy to carry like a lip balm in your purse! Made perfect sense to me. I do like putting on light floral scrent fragrance and my favorite to date is still the Paul Smith Rose. However I find that the spray releases a large amount that sometimes I am concerned the scent might me too strong, especially when I can still smell it myself. This little tin will be perfect for me to carry it around!

I was trying out all 3 scents in the store. The Rose is definitely too strong. The Cherry Blossom is too light. I couldn't get a distinct liking for this Pivoine Flora at first. The scent is definitely mild enough for my liking, however I was still uncertain. Nonetheless if I have to pick one it will have to be this. 

Turns out after I arrived home, and after un-boxing my today's haul, I open the solid perfume up to put it on, I absolutely love the scent! I guess my sense of smell just got clouded after sniffing too many products in the store.

Oh and this thing makes me think I smell like an atas tai-tai too ;)
