My Review
Thanks to Fusion Cosmetic and Puressentiel for the products.

Being new to these products, Puressentiel Air Spray, Balm and Roller really did impress me and win my heart over. Never knew that essential oil can be made into such useful products.

Lets not waste time and get into action starting with the Air Spray.

Puressentiel Purifying Air Spray
Well its an Air Spray, so it came in a bottle with a spray. 
Air Spray
The spray is easy to use. 
So easy to use.
I'm impressed that its made using 41 essential oil. When spray, the strongest essential oil that I can smell is eucalyptus, mint and peppermint. Smell really nice to me. 

After spraying it in my room for around 30mins, my whole room became so refreshing and comfortable. The air smell so clean that I sleep so soundly that day. My nose breathe so comfortably. My mum and brother love it too. 

I spray it in my car too. Usually car will have those shoe smell but now my car smell so refreshing. 

Now not only my nose is happy, my mind is so relax and happy too. 

Puressentiel Muscles and Joints Roller
The roller really came handy to use. It came in a middle size bottle. 
Muscles and Joints Roller
The roller is easy to roll on and convenient to bring and use. Lotion is white in color and has a creamy texture, not liquid texture and not oily at all. 
Roller without lotion on it.
Roller with lotion on it.
It has a cooling feeling when roll on. But not too strong. After rolling, I will massage using my hand. It feels comfortable to me.

This roller do not have the usual strong ointment smell. It smell light and really comfortable to me. 

I use it after a long day shopping on my thigh area. It really relieve my aches after sometime. The next day no more aches, my leg is all ready for another long shopping again. LOL
Using it on my thigh which is aching.
Ointment is not oil.
But my mum finds it not strong enough as her knee pain and tired legs needs a few times of application before it take effect. 

Puressentiel Muscles and Joints Soothing Balm
The balm have the same effect as the roller just that its thicker and rich as compare. 
Soothing Balm
The balm has a transparent cakey texture and it is much more oily. 
The balm has a transparent cakey texture.
This balm also has a very strong ointment smell but the smell will wear off. Not everybody like it but I personally find the smell ok. 

When just applying, the balm feels really cooling. After a while, it starts to feel warm. This is also the time where the area I apply feels really relieve and comfortable. 

I use them on my neck pain and stiff shoulder. After around 15 minutes, my neck and shoulder feels relieved. The next day, no more pain.
How the balm looked like.
My mum really love it as the effect can be seen more obvious on her.  
Used on my mum.
And one thing I observe is that I am instructed to wash hand after applying. This is something I find it very good as usually after applying using other ointment, I cannot wash hand. But this one can. :)

Overall, these products are really good and natural. I recommend them to all.

Notice: Sharing of Free Samples now done more often on The Swanple Facebook Page

Have you been wondering why there isn't free sample post on my blog for so long?

Don't worry, I am still sharing location you can get free samples. Just that I realize it's more efficient for me to share it on The Swanple Facebook and I have been sharing it there lately.

This is because most of the time I spotted the free sample redemption from Facebook and sometimes its limited amount only. So if I were to write a post on the free sample redemption only at the end of the day after I come back from work, the free sample would be already fully redeem. And you won't get to redeem it.

So for those who have been following my blog but have not like The Swanple Facebook, not knowing free samples post are share there more often now, you may want to like it so that you won't miss on post I share on Facebook to redeem samples and enter contest.

But I will still try to duplicate a write up post if I have the time for those free samples with longer redemption period. So that those who did not follow Facebook can still redeem some free samples. :)

Thanks for reading. Have a nice day!

My Review
There was a period of time when I am troubled with blemished skin. So decided to try this well received tea tree product from The Body Shop. 

This big Tea Tree Skin Clearing Toner came in a huge 250ml bottle. 
Came in 250ml bottle
Once the cap is open, I can smell a strong tea tree smell. Well, you either like the smell or you don't. For me its still ok. But my mum do not like the smell. 

The toner came in a green color liquid with some white powder at the bottom of the solution. 
Green Color liquid.
White powder at the bottom.
So, every time before I use them, I will need to do a shaking dance. LOL....It does feel troublesome to me especially during my rushing hours, already no time and I still need to spend time shaking it. I will have to do a hard shake as the powder and liquid don't mix well if I shake it too lightly. 

After performing the shaking dance, toner turns light milky green in color. 
Toner turns light milky green in color after shaking.
The toner does feel cooling just by pouring it on the cotton. And my skin also feels cooling after applying.  Not over drying too.
Pouring it on the cotton pad to use.
My skin does feel clear and ready for my next step of skin care regimen. Really suitable for blemished skin as a prevention product. 

Overall, I am quite happy with this product and would recommend it to people with blemished skin too.
