Hi everyone,
I have always loved ordering from Skinstore.com because of their never-ending (well, almost) 20% off discount! I used to get my Clarisonic brush heads from there as well. This purchase however, I had my eyes on these two items.
Nuxe ultra nourishing lip balm and Phyto 9 daily ultra nourishing botanical cream. Two “moisturizers”, one for lips and another for hair! If you could tell from my blog, I am crazy about moisturizing myself because somehow every part of my body is always dehydrated.
Nuxe ultra nourishing lip balm costs me around S$22 andย Phyto 9 daily ultra nourishing botanical cream costs me around $30. Both are definitely pricey even after the 20% discount but I believe these are worth the investment, from all the raves I have heard. Let’s hope I am right!
I heard about Phyto hair nourishing cream from Lisa Eldridge’s Youtube video but hers was the Phyto 7 cream. I believe Phyto 9 cream is reacher than 7 cream.

First impressions:
All I need is a pea size of this and I run this cream all over my palms, before running my palms through my hair. I like to use this on my towel-dried, semi-damp hair. As my damp hair dries, this cream leave a beautiful sheen to my locks, making them look healthy. My hair ends are pretty dry on its own due to my previous hair dye and perming of hair. I like using this cream to make my hair looks healthy and make them feel moisturized.

First impressions:
This jelly like balm can be quite thick and hard to spread on the lips. I like to warm this between my fingers first just so to give myself less work when slapping them on the lips. Being a big fan of the lip balm stick (pictured above), I decided to opt for this balm for more moisture at night. I apply quite a lot on my lips so that I wake up to supple, well moisturized lips.While the texture is a downside, the thickness lock in the moisture on my lips when I have my good night’s sleep.
Thanks for reading ~
