Mistral Shea Butter Lavender [Review]

multi purpose balm

Bonjour! 

We have a product from France today and it smells totally awesome, only if you like lavender scent. I am a huge fan of lavender scent in candles, bath, body, essentials and aromatherapy oils. Don't mind them in skincare but hate them in food & beverages. I've always feel lavender is meant for exterior purposes only like making your room smells nice, making you smell nice and to calm your mind and soul. 


So of course, having a shea butter in lavender scent makes me happy. This Mistral Extra Rich Shea Butter in Lavender made it double the happiness for me because it came in the ultimate 'angmo' looking packaging, product in metal looking containers. I feel so pampered already. 

When I first saw it on The Love Jars website, I thought it was going to be as big as The Body Shop's butters but the sky came crashing down when you see that it's only 12g. Lols, I totally laughed at myself because I almost justified the price to the amount of product ratio. 


Fine, so now it looks cute. This travel size multipurpose product is 100% Pure Shea Butter and is enriched with calendula flower extract, a plant that soothes skin irritation and promotes healing. It claims to treat chapped lips, problematic cuticles, sunburn, dry hands and even split ends. However, I'm the funniest person on earth whom only used it for my lips so far, and that was also just for fun and the smell of it before I hit snoozeland. 

I guess I can safely say that I'm not using it for the moisturizing purpose because I personally prefer non-scented products if I'm looking for moisturizing function. I like smelling it out of the pot itself with my eyes closed to prepare myself for sleep. I just like the idea of bringing myself to a happy place just for a moment after a long day of work or doing nothing at home. Taking the time to get ready for bed physically and mentally will definitely help you to sleep better, you will feel more refresh the next day and overall just a happier person. Nothing is more beautiful than a happy girl. 



Because it's small and in a balm form, mobility is A-OK. I have to admit that sometimes when I forgot my perfume, I apply this on a couple of my pulse areas such as wrist, behind the ears, neck and above my chest so that I don't smell of nothing going through the day. I think I totally took advantage of this product just for the scent only. I didn't really take notice or care much about it's hydrating functions. So much for being a shea butter.


For a 12g product, RM22.50 is pretty hefty for most of your wallets for a thing that is not super needed, so I highly suggest that you take advantage of those gifting seasons such as birthdays, christmas, Malaysia day....... Okay, the last one was a joke but they are having free shipping and discounts for the Merdeka season.

This will be such a pretty gift. It doesn't make sense for you to buy it for yourself when you don't actually need it BUT a RM23 gift is so reasonable as a gift because it's a selfless act, it's for the benefit of your family or friends. This will be a great time to tell someone to get this for you if they have no idea what to get you as a gift. Or else, justify it by saying that you are treating yourself after all the hard work you have done, whatever that is.

Printing My 2014 Memories With Canon! [HUGE GIVEAWAY]

Image
2014 has been a year of change. So many things had happened, big, small, good and bad, all I can say is that I am thankful. Or to be exact, I choose to be thankful because some things are out of our control.  I thank God for the great things that happened in my life, things such as getting a job that allows me to travel and experience different cultures, having the opportunity to do what I love which is writing and blogging, and to meet new people as well as reunited with friends that I've not seen for a really long time. I also thank God for the unpleasant moments and experiences because they are priceless, a lesson learnt for me to prepare for my future self. Not only making me stronger and more mature, but it also taught me about humility and the gift of silence.

The Immense Pressure, The Exploitations, And The Gratifications Of A Malaysian Blogger

My beautiful yet talented girlfriend of mine took this photo of me :) Thank you. Warning: This might be a long and wordy blogpost with a genuine intention to mainly express my thoughts as a blogger who has been in the industry for quite some time. This post is certainly not by anyway trying to shame any brands or PR companies, if name(s) are mentioned, it's because that incident actually happened. I think it's about time I said something. I used to stop myself from writing these kind of somewhat controversial blogpost because I was afraid to rock the boat or offend anyone. Enough is enough.
