Review: Cellnique Paramedical Body Plush Emulsion Wash


Price: RM59 (≈ USD20)

 Description:
An invigorating burst of fragrant sumptuousness and a gentle caress of velvety opulence, this body wash's spellbinding scent envelopes you in a sweet-smelling cocoon and intoxicates you with its aroma-therapeutic essential oil fragrance. Leaving the skin feeling deliciously soft and sinfully smooth.

Ingredients List:
Purified Water (Aqua), Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Decyl Glucoside, Glycerin, Cocamide DEA, Polyquaternium 39, Styrene/Acrylate Copolymer, Fragrance, Sodium Lactate, Olive (Oleo europaea) Oil, Trehalose, Citric Acid, Sodium Chloride, Sweet Orange (Citrus aurantium dulcis) Oil, Methylchloroisothiazolinone, Methy-Ilsothiazolinone

My Thought:
As you can see, the texture of this shower cream is not really thick and more to a runny side. It has a very refreshing citrus-y scent and the scent is pretty long-lasting on me. It lathers well just like most of the shower creams and makes my skin feels really clean. It does moisturize my skin, but I still need to apply body lotion afterward as I feel it's not enough for just using the shower cream alone. But for a this tiny bottle of shower cream (250mL / 8.4 fl oz.), I do feel it's rather pricey.

Pros:
- Moisturzing
- Cleanses well
- Pleasant scent

Cons:
- Pricey

Rating: 3.5/5
 Repurchase: Yes if it's 50% off :P

LUSH Haul from Melbourne

These are the only things that I got from my Melbourne trip. When I first knew that I was going to visit Melbourne, I knew that I had to get something from LUSH. I even visited all 3 LUSH stores in Melbourne, yeah I'm crazy like that. The first time I stepped into the LUSH store, I felt like a little girl in a candy shop. I finally know why everyone loves LUSH, it's really addicting! I wanted to sniff all the stuffs and try them one by one, but of course I didn't :p. I only got a few stuffs to try and even my parents got a couple of soaps too, I'd enabled them :D.

LUSH haul!

It's the best scent ever! The sweet honey and toffee scent is really addicting and I couldn't stop smelling it. Even though I haven't tried the soap yet but I know that I'm going to love it!

It has a very refreshing citrus-y scent which I really love. The scent is so strong that it's overpowering other soaps' scents. Like HIWTK soap, I haven't had a chance to try this but it's going to be a love!

I've read some reviews for this soap that it's great for exfoliating and for dry skin, and I got it as I have really dry skin on my arms and legs area. It has a really sweet scent and I really like it. Will have to try it soon to see if it really works.

After reading some reviews about how good LUSH solid shampoos are, I decided to get one. The SA recommended this solid shampoo to me when I told her I have oily hair. I've been using this shampoo ever since I got it and I really like it! It cleans my hair really well, keeps my scalp oil-free and it also gives my hair shine! It lathers up super well with just a few swipes which really impressed me. Jumping Juniper smells really good, it has a citrus-y scent but the scent doesn't last long on me. Bottom line,  I'll definitely try more of LUSH solid shampoos!

It's the best selling cleanser from LUSH and I knew I had to get one to try. At first I thought the lavender scent was a bit too strong (I never really like lavender scent) but after a few uses, I got over the scent. After using this cleanser, my skin feels really clean and soft and I love that it also works as a gentle exfoliator. The only downside is probably that it doesn't help to control the excessive sebum secretion.

I have very oily and acne prone skin, I told the SA about my skin type and she recommended Coalface to me. As I've heard good reviews for this cleanser, I decided to try it. I've tried it and I'm sold. It cleans my skin really well and this cleanser is the only cleanser that keep my skin staying matte and oil-free for a longer time. The only thing that I don't like from this cleanser is the scent, I can't really describe it but it's definitely not a pleasant scent for me. I've tried using this soap by lathering it between my hands but it didn't work. Then I tried to use a face net which I learned from Kay of Cosmeddicted on this post, and it works really great! By using this method, it's not messy at all like what people's complained about.

Just rubbed a little bit of the soap on the face net.

And it lathers really well! Definitely love this product!

That's it for this post. Till next time!
