L de Lolita Lempicka

L de Lolita Lempicka was launched in 2006 and the fragrance was created by perfumer Maurice Roucel. The bottle was designed by Sylvie de France. From the perfume ad and the aquamarine, pebble heart shaped bottle with the golden net, this perfume reminds me a lot of the deep blue ocean and mermaids. Even though I have an affinity for mermaids, I'm not too fond of aquatic scent, which is why I steer clear from this perfume for years, thinking it as another harsh clean scent.  The only reason why I got this is because of the bottle, it's been discontinued for years and I wanted to get this before it's gone. So imagine my surprise when I first tried it on. Instead of being bombarded with screechy and sharp aquatic scent, I was left with a delicious oriental vanilla scent that conjures images of Christmas baking. I immediately regret not getting a full bottle of this years before it's been discontinued, lol. Top Notes Bitter orange,   Bergamot

Luna Beauty x Tocobo Bio Watery Sun Cream & AHA BHA Lemon Toner

Tocobo AHA BHA Lemon toner has been on my wishlist ever since I saw the cute lemon cap on their toner bottle. It's absolutely adorable and I'm really trilled when I got the chance to review it along with Tocobo Bio Watery Sun Cream. Luna Beauty has kindly gifted these products in exchange for an honest review and here are my thought on them ☺️

This smells a lot like grass which I strangely like 😂 It feels hydrating on my combination skin type and the texture feels a bit like an essence. I can even skip my moisturizer when using this though I wouldn't recommend doing that too frequently if you have dehydrated skin, lol.

The best thing about this sunscreen is it doesn't leave any white cast, which makes it perfect for re-application during the day. It's also easier to apply when you're in a rush. There's a refreshing feel after applying and it leaves a natural, glowy finish on my skin, which I don't mind as it doesn't feel greasy at all. Overall it's a great chemical sunscreen if you don't mind the weird grass scent

This has a strong, lemony scent which smells a lot like men's cologne, which I'm not too fond of 😆 However I do like the cute 🍋 cap and the overall sleek packaging. 

Besides lemon extract, this toner also contains alcohol and essential oils. Normally my skin is quite resilient to these ingredients but the first time I used this, there was a slight stinging sensation on some drier part on my forehead, probably because I have some spots on those areas. 

It has a clear, viscous texture that feels almost like an essence. The brightening effect is quite noticeable with this toner and so far it feels quite hydrating on skin. No further skin irritation despite the stinging sensation on my first try. Overall I'm quite dissapointed with this toner as I really do love the packaging, I really wish they would come up with a milder scent if they ever think of reformulating it in the future 😆

𝑹𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 : 3.5/5
