I LOVE the smell of this conditioner--fruity peach, SO delicious. But unfortunately, it's just an okay conditioner. It doesn't magically detangle my hair as I hoped and I have to use quite a lot to give my hair the conditioned slippery feeling that I like. It's expensive, so not worth it, even though it smells amazing.

I like to apply a few drops of the Moroccanoil Light to my hair ends if I want to air dry my hair to a messy beachy wave look (my hair is naturally wavy but tends to frizz--No, not all Asian girls have silky straight hair). The only problem is that this product contains a lot of silicone (it may be called oil, but it's not 100% oil) and I find that if I use it regularly, my hair starts feeling very dry and hay-like.

This reminds me of a glamorous, grown-up version of Noxzema. I swear, it smells just like Noxzema, which takes me back to my high school days (in a good way). I love the cloths that this cleanser comes with--they're super soft cotton and help exfoliate gently. However, there are just too many active ingredients in this cleanser (Eucalyptus gives it that Noxzema-like smell) for me to use it every day--after a week of continual use, my cheeks start looking a little flushed and irritated. So I save it for when I'm in the mood for a spa-like deep cleanse.

I was surprised, but this stuff really works. It plumped my bust (not a huge difference, but noticeable to me), but you've got to use it religiously. Stop for a couple of days and poof--deflated!

I have combination/sensitive skin and I like to use this cleanser at night, after I pre-wash with Shu Uemura cleansing oil. My skin looks brighter and no breakouts--yay! My face is also smoother--I think it slightly exfoliates, but very very gently. I took off half a star because the pump tends to leak, which wastes quit a bit of the product.

Still my favorite for removing the super sunscreen (Shiseido) I like to use. The oil really helps to break down the sunscreen. If I just use a regular cleanser, I feel like the sunscreen still leaves a film on my face and I have to follow up with a toner. If I use this Shu Cleansing oil, I follow up with a cleansing foam (I like lather) and my face feels perfectly clean.

I love the formula of this foundation--you can use it sheer or full coverage. It's not too creamy, so I can use it as a concealer when I'm traveling. Also, you get a huge amount in the pan, it lasts forever!

A very pretty highlighter that I also use sometimes instead of eye shadow. This looks super light in the compact, but it actually goes on quite sheer and the shimmer is superfine, so there's no obvious sparkly effect.

Amazing stuff. This makes my skin supersoft and gives it a pretty sheen (subtle, with no additional bronzing or shimmer--it's just an oil, not a bronzer). The vitamin A helps exfoliate and really reduced the KP chicken bumps on the back of my arms (after a couple of days use, there were only a few bumps left and I could barely feel them). I also love the smell, it reminds me of Chanel Cristalle. I took off half a star because the oil tends to leak out of the bottle, leaving a greasy ring on the counter.

I usually love thermal mascara formulas, but this Fiberwig mascara smudged on me in about an hour. I was really disappointed considering all the advertising that it's so amazing. I also didn't find the fibers to be as lengthening or natural-looking (it was very clumpy) as other formulas (there was a Mary Quant mascara that I got in Japan years ago that was my favorite fiber mascara). Not for me.
