My Wishlist as of September 3, 2013

This is absolutely an unimportant post. I figured I want to talk about my current desires as of today. Feel free to browse or you may leave now. Lately, I've been thinking of the things that I want to do before the year ends, or even get the things I've set my eye on.

1. Shu Uemura Fresh Pore Clarifying Gentle Cleansing Oil

Why do good stuff have to be expensive? I'm crossing my fingers to get this one this year, or I may settle with MUJI's Cleansing Oil. I have my Bioderma to remove my make up but I want to try the oil types. 4,000+php for 450ml

2. Human Nature Balancing Facial Wash

I've read a lot of good reviews about this baby! I haven't got this one yet because I still have to finish a lot of facial wash. Certainly I'll try you soon. 200+php

3. Bath and Body Works Fall Scents & Candles

Are you going to stay a "wish" for me? I want you so badly. Sigh..

4. MAC Paint Pot in Rubenesque

I've been eyeing this baby for a long time now, I hope I'll have you too soon. A peachy gold shimmery base for your eyeshadow. You can also wear it alone. 1,000+php

5. Majolica Majorca Las King Mascara

 

Oh dear, am I too late for this? I hope not! I'm not that adventurous when it comes to mascara because I'm wearing my glasses more often than contact lenses. I hope you don't disappoint me! 700+php

6.  Michael Kors Rose Gold Watches

Ah, perfection. Nuf said. 16,000++php

7. Whole Body Spa at least once a month!

I absolutely need this. With all the stress I'm going through with work and life, everyone deserves a treat!

8. Travel to at least 2 destinations this year.

Be it local or international! Solo or with my Travel Buddy, RR <3

9. White Linens / Bed Sheets

No, I am not crazy. I'm just obsessed with making my bedroom look pretty! It's my place to think and relax and my own personal space. I love it looking and smelling good all the time.

There! Now, what's yours? You have some crazy ideas? :)

KINGS Fragrance Wafers (similar to tarts/wax cubes) & Pot Pourri Oil Review

Hey guys! After my not-so-good experience with KING's tea candles and their votive ones, I finally decided to try their tarts/wax cubes in Citrus Splash. Aside from the fact that their packaging is really an eye candy, a lot of them smells really good! I also got the Pot Pourri Oil in Tutti Frutti.

79.75php and 99.75php

The cold throw* of the tart is heaven for me, as I love citrus scents that doesn't give me a headache. Have you tried drinking Smart C in Grapefruit flavor? That is exactly how it smelled to me. You may also think of TANG Pomelo juice but Smart C is more accurate.

Now for the performance:

 

I burned my first cube and this is what I got after an hour or two. The throw* is very weak, or maybe because I melted it in the living room which has a bigger space than my bedroom. The cold throw is waaay stronger, I'm not that disappointed though coz I love scents that are not too overpowering. After an hour and a half, it started to smell funny, like being burned plain wax. I was like, okaaay? The wax didn't evaporated to the last drop so I decided to blow it off.

And of course I thought, if one cube lasted an hour or two, multiply by 9 cubes, it's actually a good deal for 79.75php! So inconsiderate of me to think that this baby is a disappointment. So I turned on my aircon, gave it a second chance and burned it in my room. Smells, AH-MAA-ZIINGG! I figured the scent would be better paired with cold environment/weather. It's also an 'okay' with room and warm temperature.

Melts easily, after 3 to 5 minutes the wax looked like this. After an hour, I decided to call it a day. I'm happy with it. Maybe the left over wax is really supposed to be like that after burning the oil, the scent will disappear and will leave the pure wax. I don't know, I'm new to this.

For the Pot Pourri Oil, it smelled like bubblegum according to my sister. The moment she said that, my heart sank coz I'm avoiding bubblegum scents a bit but I don't know why I picked this one up. I wish I got the Ginger or Lemon Grass scent instead. Smells good though, let's see how she burns.

Over all I'm satisfied with it save the left over wax. I'm a bit annoyed that I have to scrape it off when dried lol. Will I repurchase? Definitely! (As if I have any other options here in PH, haha)

*cold throw means the scent of the product itself while it's not yet burning

*throw is the scent while burning

Do you guys know where I can find good scents and candles as well?

Zen Zest Peppermint Foot Care Review

Hey guys! As promised, I'm going to talk about these babies, I've been using them for weeks now and I guess even if you use it once, you'll definitely say something about it!

Zen Zest Peppermint Foot Soak, Spray and Scrub

I love taking care of my feet and legs. Though I must admit I'm very lazy sometimes to do it on my own which results to spa visits. Let's admit it, those kind of services are luxuries and kinda pricey. We can always do it on our own! Just a little bit of kasipagan!

Zen Zest Peppermint Foot Soak (120php, 150g)

When you put a teaspoon or two in a basin of warm water, you will notice that it is dissolved easily leaving a very strong but relaxing peppermint scent. The surface of water shows oil traces, possibly the peppermint oil! Actually, I felt that it doesn't do much on your skin except from the fact that the peppermint scent relaxes you. I'll say that this set is by far the strongest peppermint scent that I've encountered! It's not that strong to the point of headache (who wants that?), rather it will really give you that satisfied feeling and not the bitin kind of scent.

Zen Zest Exfoliating Peppermint Foot Scrub (260php, 300g) 

I absolutely love this baby! I'd say this is one of my top finds and will surely gonna be one of my 2013 favorites! Creamy consistency with apricot kernels, I love the feeling when I massage it to my legs and feet, it surely soothes your tired muscles. The beads are just enough, not too harsh and not too mild. I love that this scrub will prevent ingrowns as I shave my legs for unwanted hair. After rinsing, it will leave your skin feeling soft and smooth.
 

Zen Zest Peppermint Foot Spray (120php)

I spray it to my legs when I feel tired and achy. Nothing too special. You can also spray it after scrubbing.

I didn't buy the lotion simply because I feel that regular lotion can do the job of moisturizing. I will definitely repurch the foot soak and scrub. I'm not so sure about the spray. Over all a good product!

How about you, do you love taking care of your soles?
