Pucker Up! The Face Shop Lip Care Cream Review

Okay folks, this is the last of my haul from The Face Shop (Cambodia edition!). Somehow, someway I finally used up all, and I mean every last bit of my Maybelline Baby Lips that I got for free a year ago. It had been sitting in my handbag permanently and was always my go to Lip Balm however when it finally ran out I was devastated and also excited to search for a replacement...unfortunately I was in Cambodia, land of the no-makeup/skincare/etc. The Face Shop was a godsend when I discovered that they had 3 different lip balms on the market however I was very much in need of one that was deeply moisturising without any tinting (I have plenty of those already!).

This is what I bought:  Lovely Me:Ex Lip Care Cream in the Flavour 01 Vitamin

The Face Shop Green Tea Hand Gel

Just a quick review today as I'm settling back into life in Australia and moving into a new house means busy busy busy! So without further ado, introducing the next product in my "The Face Shop" series of reviews...the Green Tea Hand Gel Cream. 

This is a great handbag moisturiser, it's lightweight, smells lovely and doesn't leave a heavy residue which makes you worry about touching door handles/pens/your clothes after using it. As it's a gel, it's not the heaviest moisturiser, no shea butter etc to make it super moisturising but again, it's great on the go just to provide a bit of much needed moisture. For those of us out there who are experienced in hospital moisturisers, it almost feels like a barrier cream. 

It's a nice small size (unfortunately the volume is written in Korean but I'd guestimate ~75mL) and at only ~$5USD it's very affordable! 

The only pitfall of this hand gel is the smell, I find the green tea smell refreshing and lovely but it is quite strong and if you've got particularly sensitive skin/sense of smell, you may not like it but it's worth going in and giving it a whiff for yourself and make your own assessment! 

Okay back to unpacking the endless boxes of junk in my room,

White Mud Nose Pack by The Face Shop Review

 Next up in my series of reviews on products from The Face Shop is the White Mud Nose Pack. Now I have to admit, I did not buy this, my friend Trish (better known as one half of Le Fanciulle) bought it when we were there and she was kind enough to let the rest of the group try the product and review it here for you!

Smile Foot Mask by The Face Shop Review

So I've got limited beauty shopping options in Cambodia but thankfully came across The Face Shop on one of the main streets during my travels. I'm aware of their store in Perth and the fact that it sells Korean beauty products however I've never really felt the need to try their products. Until now. Here's the first of my reviews on a bunch of interesting beauty products you may never have heard/tried before...
