Hada Labo Tokyo Hydrating Facial Cleanser

It’s true Hada Labo is available in the US now and Hada Labo Tokyo Hydrating Facial Cleanser is one of the first products I tried from the brand!

Hada Labo is known for its famous Super Hyaluronic Acid Lotion in Japan and its collection of skincare injected with three kinds of moisturizing Hyaluronic Acid that not only hydrates skin but helps it retain moisture! Hada Labo Tokyo is an extension of the Hada Labo line that is available here in the US now and exclusively at Ulta and Ulta.com.

The Body Shop Honey Bronze Shimmer Lip Balm Review & Swatches

Body Shop Honey Bronze Shimmer Lip Balm

The Body Shop Honey Bronze Shimmer Lip Balm ($9) was a little lip balm I picked up recently when it was on sale so I got it for around four or so dollars. Having a rather good track record with some of the Body Shop’s lip butters I was quite happy to indulge as I was expecting a shimmery honey flavored gloss.

What did I think?
