My Review
For not sure what reason, my skin is always thirsty. Therefore, product that moisturized or hydrates skin always attract my attention. 

Over the pass few weeks, I have been using Rarita Jeju 8 Aquamarine Soothing Gel. One thing that really interest me is it's multi-purpose function. 

The soothing gel came in a 300g blue tub.

Great to know it's covered with a plastic cover over the top. 

Covered with a plastic cover.

This soothing gel actually has a very light floral fragrance that smells like lavender to me. It has a transparent gel like texture. 

This gel texture turns into watery texture during application. It actually feels cooling. Especially so when it's place in the refrigerator. 

Gel like texture that turns into watery texture during application.

After application, my skin feels really smooth to touch. 

Off all the multi-purpose function, I like best to use it as a sleeping mask. Especially so when I sleep in air-con room. After applying overnight, the next day when I wake up, my skin feels ready rather than very oily on the T-zone. 

To people who do not like to use a lot of products or rather simply lazy, this is a rather convenient product. I not only use it as a sleeping mask, I used it as my body lotion, moisturizer and hair essence. 

It's soothing ability did wow me. I apply it over my mosquito bite and soon after, the itchiness and redness subside. 

Let's check out what my skin analyzer have to say before and after application. Skin did improve. 😁

Overall, I did find this soothing gel useful in many ways to not only my skin but to my hair and nails as well.

My Review
I am a constant user of body scrub. Seeing scrub with sand-like texture is a common thing. 

But this is the first time I see scrub with a thick layer of oil floating on top of the scrub. 😕

Thick layer of oil.

The scrub came in a transparent tub. From the tub, I can see that the scrub is orange in color. 

Came in a translucent tub.

Because of the huge amount of oil, I became very careful when storing it because I am afraid the oil will spill out. Turns out the opening is sealed with a plastic. 

Opening is sealed with plastic.

The scrub itself as I said, is having very fine sand-like texture. And it is quite compressed in the tub as I need to use a spatula to move it and mix well with the layer of oil. It produces a very strong orange smell both before and after use.

It is quite compressed in the tub as I need to use a spatula to move it and mix well with the layer of oil.

I must say, my skin feels really smooth and clean after using the scrub. But.....it is sooooo oily, that I need to wash quite long before I remove those oily feeling on my skin. Also my bathroom floor become so slippery that I need to wash the floor after use to prevent folks at home from falling down. 

Well...pretty oily.

Well.....for me, because of the oiliness, I don't think I will buy them to use. 😨 But who knows it will suit you better.

My Review
I love drinking tea and I am a constant tea drinker. Do you love to drink tea as much as I do? 😍

Recently, I was introduce something new. You all know what seahorse is right? But have you drink blended tea with seahorse as one of the ingredient inside? I just did last week. The tea is non other than Rarita Seahorse Blended Tea. 

Rarita Seahorse Blended Tea

The tea came sealed in a box of 20 packets.  

Sealed.

Came in a box of 20 individual pack.

Very thoughtful to place it in a small pack, convenient for me to place in my bag and bring out.

Place in individual small pack, convenient to bring around.

Usually teabag came with a square holder, printed with the tea brand and flavour. But for this Seahorse blended tea, it came with a very cute holder that looks almost like a seahorse. Erm...almost....

Teabag inside each individual pack.

Cute looking teabag holder.

So cute right? But how to place it on the cup? I took a few second to play around with the teabag holder. 😝😜😛

Teabag holder placed nicely onto the cup.

Ok, playing aside, the first thing I always do is to smell the teabag. Not sure if you are the same as me? 😁 

I though there will be a very heavy medicine smell like those I smell from traditional Chinese medical store since there are so many medicinal ingredients in it. But it actually don't. There is a light herbal sweet smell. Smell Ok to me. But my mum told me it smell like Dang Gui(当归). 

The tea itself is light brown in color after brewing in hot water.

Tea is light brown in color.

Teabag holder still stays nicely on the cup.

Teabag holder still stay nicely on the cup.

I like to drink my tea hot! But my mum like to drink it warm.😏 Then we realize that different temperature of the tea, produces different taste. 

When it's hot, the tea taste more luscious sweet with a hint of mint and lemon taste. Chinese saying, it taste 甘甜. 

But when it's warm, I can taste light herbal taste and less rich.

The tea does not have the usual tea bitter taste. Even if it's place in the water for long, it won't turn bitter. In fact, it taste even more fragrance. 

I quite like the taste. Although there are 8 oriental herbal used, I don't feel like drinking medicine at all. My mum love the taste too. 

2 things I notice from drinking the tea. The tea actually helps to quench my thirst and make me feel less lethargic.

You must be asking me, any seahorse taste, right? Erm....actually, how does seahorse taste like ah? Hahahahaha 😳...... I have never taste it before, so not really sure. But maybe the sweetness from the tea came from seahorse?🙈

Ok before I end my review, let me show you want is inside the teabag. 

Can you spot which ingredient is which?

Overall, this is a nice tea to drink. Something you should replace your gassy drink with during tea break. For better health. 👍👍👍👍

Thanks for reading. Enjoy your tea!!! Cheers!!

For the name mud toothpaste, I thought the toothpaste is going to be grey in color and in muddy texture. But turns out to be white and in the usual cream like texture.

Overall, it does shave off hairy legs without damaging our skin. Skin feels smooth after use. However, it needs quite a long shave before shaving off the hairs cleanly. Some stubborn hair still not able to be shave off cleanly, leave the skin feeling spiky. Hair gets stuck inside the razor and on the conditioning solid, requiring additional tools like brush to clean it.

My Review
When it comes to products for hairy legs, my mum is always my guinea pig. She got the perfect stubborn hairs on her leg to test out products. 

It's the same case this time round and she is more than welcome to try them on. 😜 

The razor size is normal and packed neatly in a box. 

Packed neatly in a box.

There are 3 items in the box. A cartridge refill, the razor + a cartridge already attached and the razor holder. 

There are 3 items in the box.

I like it that all the items are sealed in plastic and there are covers to cover up the blades and conditioning solid. Very hygienic.

And it is thoughtful of them to provide the holder too to hold the razor after use.

The extra cartridge is place nicely in a container, convenient for me to store it in my cupboard.

Nothing special about the shape of the razor. It just look like any other normal razor. Great that the blade is covered.

One of the cartridge is already attached to the razor. This is the first time I see razor blades being surrounded by conditioning solid. Looks really cute to me. There is a nice almond smell from the conditioning solid.

The cartridge is easily detectable by pressing the two button at the side of the razor.

Underside of the cartridge.

Ok, my mum and I really seldom use razor. Therefore, the first problem we face is how to shave in the right direction. It need some practice. I need to hold it in the right angle and shave it in the right angle during the start and end.

4 blades for a close shave.

It is still Ok at first but soon become really messy. 🙈 First, hair start to get stuck in the blade as well as on the conditioning solid. 

Soon become really messy.

Then as I shave further, the conditioning solid become dryer, leaving white cream on the skin. 

Shaving in progress.

As I wet the conditioning solid again and then continue shaving, some of the hair from the blade get transferred onto the skin. Makes it really hard to differentiate if the hair is shaved or not shaved. 

Makes it really hard to differentiate if the hair is shaved or not shaved.

My mum then have to wash her leg and then wash the blade, then continue to shave 🙈. This time, the conditioning solid become really soapy. We really did shave quite a few rounds for quite sometime before it's clean.  

Skin feels smooth after shaving. But some stubborn hair still not able to be shave off cleanly, leave the skin feeling spiky. 

The razor gets really messy after used. My mum needs to use her own brush to brush off the hair on the blade. Hair on the conditioning solid needs to be wash off too. From what I see, the razor still cannot be hair free after clean. I still see hair stuck inside the blade. 

Before and after use.

Well, there are plus points and minus points for this product. But my mum seems to find the after cleaning of the razor really troublesome. 

Where to buy it?
Schick® Intuition® Pure Nourishment® Razor can be bought from Watsons, Guardian, FairPrice and Cold Storage at a retail price of S$14.15.
