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.

How To Enjoy Ramyeon/Instant Noodles At Han River When In Seoul! \\ What To Do In Seoul

Image
I believe it was early last year when a video of people cooking instant noodles and enjoying them by the Han River in Korea went viral. It was a super cool concept and I told myself if I had the chance to go around Seoul myself, experiencing ramyeon at Han River will definitely be on top of my list. Many months later, Dex and I had a trip to Seoul and did this together. While planning this trip, I was so focused on trying to find which Han River that has this special cooking machine. I thought it was only one particular place sell this but it's actually not. I believe by now, pretty much any park that's by the Han River allows you to have this experience as long as they have a convenient store. We've chosen to visit Yeouido Park by the Han River since it was one of the recommended place that my sis-in-law mentioned and she's not wrong, the park was beautiful. I personally do recommend this park too.

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.
