Garnier Pure Active Fruit Energy Daily Energising Gel Wash : Quick Review

Summary: I quite like using face washes in the shower, so pump-action one makes life easy. This Garnier one with grapefruit and sylacilic acid is what I've been using for the past few month. It also has glycol in it so it has a chemical exfoliant.

Smell: Lovely and fruity

Results: Squeeky clean feeling on my combination skin.

Rating: 5/5

Amazon Forest Mango & Babassu Body Butter: Quick Review

 Look and feel: Yellow and very thick, even for a butter
Smell: Light mango, quite pleasant
Results: Moisturized feeling for a few hours, no lasting results (eg, you'd have to use it every day for weeks for any significant results) Hard to absorb.
5/10 Not terrible but not amazing, will finish the lot.
