Beauty Product Reviews

it's ok

Makes my face feel nice and clean, but I haven't noticed any real difference in my skin. My biggest gripe is that it is incredibly difficult to wash off. I have to use a toner afterwards to get it to come off because it literally sticks to my face. Not worth the annoyance.

Overall, I really like this product. My favorite thing about it is the color - it's really pigmented for being a balm. It's a very pretty flush red that adds a wonderful rosy tint to lips (and cheeks) and the texture is really smooth. Doesn't last for very long, but that's to be expected. It's just the packaging that takes a star off. A pot is just messy and impractical - I end up with more under my nails than on my lips.

silky

As far as texture, the Japanese Rose body butter is a great product that sinks nicely into skin and makes it really silky soft. And a little bit goes a long way! However, I'm not sure if I like the scent, sometimes it's a bit too baby powdery for me. Not that that's necessarily bad, it's clean and fresh, but I wish I got more "rose" from it. Despite that, this is one of my favorite body butters/lotions that I've tried.

sets in creases

unless your lips are perfectly smooth, this lip stain is pretty useless. flakes, dries and sets into creases and looks blotchy and gross. just to get use out of it instead of throwing it out, I put a little bit on underneath other lipstick just for a bit of added color. really disappointed.
