Repiel Smart Foot Mask Ultra Rich

Repiel Smart Foot Mask Ultra Rich

I received this product complimentary from 0.8L and Repiel in exchange for my honest opinion. I got this product for free from 0.8L and Repiel in exchange for my honest opinion.
Feet mask I rarely buy, but I have to start purchasing soon because my feet has been dry because it is autumn and the indoor heat will soon be turned on. The packaging is so cute. The application is easy because they are paper socks which you just put them on your feet and leave it on for 20 minutes. You can walk around the house if you don't mind the "squishy" sounds and feeling.
It has ingredients such as ceramide and coconut oil which can reduce swelling and redness. My feet felt softer after I used it. I wear size 40 (European size) so it's you feet are a lot bigger than me, it might not fit. Overall, it's a nice treat if you want to do a foot spa for yourself. It's not going to "solve" problems, but it will keep your feet a bit moisturized.

Repiel timeless redness-shot bio mask

Refresh and replenish are the two adjectives that I can think of for this product.

First, twist open the syringe, and you can see the bio-cellulose sheet mask fill of essence sandwiched between two mesh layers. Strangely enough, I did smell a bit of coconut water. Very cool sensation when I applied it to my face which brought down my redness. But the one thing that bothered me was that you have to be very careful when you put it onto your face. If you make a mistake by folding it accidentally then it becomes a mess and sticky.

Overall, I have saved these to use after my facial/extraction days to "reduce" the redness.

Sana Namerakahonpo Lift Up Anti-Aging Lotion

The ingredients include Soy milk fermented extract which can lead to younger looking skin, astaxathin which has a moisture wall barrier and protect from irritation and vitamin B which can soften skin and reduce wrinkles. However, I've never been a fan of Japanese toners and now I remember why. It has a tiny bit of alcohol scent and it's just needs to use a cotton pad with it. I've been spoiled with korean toners which I don't use cotton pads and now when I turn to this, I want to go back to the korean brands.

REDDY Lip tattoo pack

You apply it like lip gloss and then wait about 15-20 minutes.
Then try to peel it off like guck. I have seen these before since I started Korean beauty and skincare. This is a big phenomena for people that would NOT like to re-apply lipstick.

I had never been into this liking but I was willing to try it out.

This is the BEFORE picture.

And then I apply a good amount to layer it really thick because I didn't want to fail the first time.

It tasted so weird when I was waiting for it to dry. It's a lovely color and I was surprised at the color payoff, but the stain went away after a meal. I was disappointed because I never wipe my lips with a napkin during the entire meal when the lip stain was on.

Benton Cacao Moist and Mild Cream

Benton Cacao Moist and Mild Cream


I received this product complimentary from 0.8L and Benton in exchange for my honest opinion. I got this product for free from 0.8L and Benton in exchange for my honest opinion.

As we all know, summer is coming to an end and my favorite season of autumn is coming.
I've already started to buy all the pumpkin spice food things that I see. You know what that means for skincare, we will need more layers - well, I do because I have dry skin. Cacao is great for the skin during the winter because it locks in the moisture. It is rich in polyphernois, which are antioxidants.


This is my first Benton product. I like the squeeze tube instead of a jar since it's a cream. It's good for all skin types and it's lightweight so it's great for all seasons. However, my mom has oily skin and it just sat on top of her skin so I'm assuming that this isn't suitable for oily skin. I do like that it has botanic plant extracts which leads to no fragrance scent. The texture isn't thick so it absorbs into the skin. Overall, it is a lightweight texture which is suitable for summer. Its naturally derived mild formula allows it to have a moist finish which leads to a good water-oil balance.

Chicago 2017 Trip

This is my 400th Review on my blog!! I'm excited that it's a trip review! I went to the Windy City (Chicago for the first time and I enjoyed it. I would be back to this lovely city!

It was raining when I board the plane, so you can see that I made a face.
When arrived, I brought a 3-Day CTA pass to use the subway for $20.

I went to Chinatown the next morning and was surprised on how big it was.
It's full of culture and authentic food. I wasn't able to try the DIMSUM like I wanted to because the wait was 45 minutes in the morning.

Instead I walked over to the candy store of my childhood!!

I got all the matcha candy in the store! Very little for $10.

I went to buy an overpriced but yummy donut at Do-Rite Donuts near the hotel that I was staying at. The flavor was pistachio lemon and it was thick and delicious.

At night, we were craving for sushi and went to JellyFish and ordered sushi!
We got the (from top to bottom) Veggie Delight Roll, Crazy Veggie Roll, Crabby Eel roll, Torched Salmon roll (the best out of 4),

Did touristy things the next day while visiting Millenium Park to see the "bean".

Food trunks along the park!! I got the Canadian poutine. Very average, but I wanted to eat it.

The next morning, we went to Beatrix for brunch and got Steak and Eggs, Cripsy Kale Salad, Rainbow Toast, Hummus. Sadly to sad, but I ended the Rainbow Toast the best. The steak and eggs were a bit pricey for what was given.

Next we went to visit Navy Pier and I ordered the Chicago-styled hotdog. It's just more salty and sour.

I wanted curly fires!

The Buckingham Fountain. This picture doesn't do it justice.

For dinner, I went to Imperial Lamien to try the instagram famous "combination xiao long bao".
It had flavors such as gruyere cheese, crab, truffle, duck, spicy szechuan and shanghai. Just picture worthy and taste wise it's just average.

This is the combination vegetarian. This was much better than the steamed combination. Just saying.

For late night snack, we went to the pub near us to get the famous "Irish Nachos" that we saw on Man vs Food while at the hotel. These were good!

The next morning, we had our last meal (brunch) at Lyft Kitchen. This is the Avocado Spinach Fritata with roasted potatos.

Overall, the "windy City" gave me the perfect weather for this trip and I will definitely visit again! This reminded me of NYC but the sales tax really scared me. 10.25% is very steep and it limited me from going crazy shopping. I only got a pair of sandals at DSW and a blouse at Nordstorm Rack. Plus they also charge for bags - plastic- 7 cents and paper-14 cents.

MAC Lightful 2-in-1 with Radiance Booster Tinted Serum

MAC Lightful 2-in-1 with Radiance Booster Tinted Serum

The skincare serum is a bit thick for the summer but the foundation serum is perfect for the summer if you want light coverage.

It's best to use the serum for overnight. This product also helps eliminates dark spots and pigmentation.

Overall, it's a light coverage tint and looks natural.

LapothCell Natural Mineral Sun Protection

LapothCell Natural Mineral Sun Protection

This is a nice creamy sunscreen that you must rub in to get rid of the white cast.
I usually put it on and wait about 20 minutes while enjoying the scent and then put foundation on my face.

I used this on my trip in the Caribbean and it was wonderful.
