Review: St. Ives Apricot Scrub & Green Tea Cleanser

First up, St. Ives apricot scrub!

Honestly I've read much about this scrub being too strong for some on the internet. They said it caused their skin to break out seriously and it became a traumatic life event for them. it seems that they swore not to touch this tube again.

After using it for almost a month, i actually find it to be a friendly exfoliator. Contrary to what some said, this is   quite a worthy product that provides enough abrasion, but not too much to the extent of hurting your skin. it smells nice as well and it leaves your skin feeling soft. 

Not a bad product at all, I would say! Maybe the pain will come to people who have ultra sensitive skin? I don't know for sure because St. Ives products are gentle to me and all ingredients are natural so i guess they work well for me, at least!

Give it a try, it isn't some expensive puny bottle anyways! if it's harsh on your face, maybe you can use it on your body instead!

The green tea cleanser from the same brand.

ooohhh i would just like to say it's been an enjoyable time washing my face with this. it has such a refreshing smell, not so much green tea, more like iced mint tea. it's gentle and mild and leaves your skin refreshed.

because it's not foam, or soap, you don't feel it tugging at your skin so much.

it's a liquidy-gel texture that will still lather up when water comes in contact.

Gotta love the cooling sensation that races through your skin!
it's amazing especially in the humid and sweltering weather in Singapore. TRY IT!

Oz the great and powerful.

caught this movie before it got cut at the local cinemas.






























luckily i got complimentary tickets from dearest nuffnang for this show, or else i believe you can hear me bellow on and on as you read this post.

HMMMM this isn't exactly a lousy movie, i mean how can anything that has magic and witches and cute animals and talking toys suck. yes it is a fantastical theme but no, it didn't come through as a fantasy.

Parts of it were so slow and boring i could feel my sleep cycle setting in, while some other parts were too hastily dealt with, couldn't actually make up what happened in that scene.

Well there're still redeeming factors! the 3 witches are exceedingly beautiful women/actresses/people and they played their parts well enough. but i can't say the same for the male lead.

there were too much awkwardness and amateur-like execution, i felt myself exclaiming in disbelief several times. i can't exactly say what's wrong with it, but to summarise, it's just another american movie that doesn't make that much of an impression, or joke or story or technical brilliance.

it's MEH.
