Toosum Healthy Snack Bars










The cherry with oatmeal was okay. It tasted more like roasted watermelon seeds. Felt a bit nostalgic but was still pretty bland. Definitely can finish it if I was hungry.  I would rate it a 6.5/10

I was real confused with the blueberry oatmeal bar. Okay it looked great, sounded healthy and delicious. My heart just sank from the first bite. WHY!!!!??  –cries-
It tasted nasty and bland. 1/10

The banana and coconut was the best tasting out of the three. It actually smell and taste like banana and coconut. The sweetness was perfect. Matter of fact it is not too sweet at all. I do enjoy something that is more balanced. 8/10

24k Beauty Lift Bar










This lift bar feels really good on the skin. You can use it not only on your face but neck, arm, hands, legs and other parts of the body.
Note that it is plated with 24k gold, which is a very thin layer of pure gold. You will see wears eventually. All depending on how you take care of the bar. Try to be gentle as possible so that you don't scrap the plating off. If you clean the bar, do not rub it with any rough surface objects. Try to use a tissue and carefully dab it dry.

The package is all very attractive but whats inside is most important. There are two facial exfoliant head which can be attached to the lift bar.
The lift bar itself and an AA battery.

The lift bar is water proof and super easy to turn on. Now using the lift bar can be tricky because in order to get more out of the lifting effect of the bar you have to use pressure. Don't be afraid to use pressure on this thing. There are many vital points in one's face where you should concentrate or be able to hit those spots. This include right on the side and middle of the nose. Right below and above your eye and eyebrows. Also at the back tip of the ears. You can easily look this up by the way.
I have used the lift bar for two days now. Right before I use the lift bar I would soak the head in hot water so warm it up. This will aid blood circulation even better. I do apply a good pressure to the lift bar when I use it. Also keep in mind that you have to be very gentle when hitting the acupressure point. It can either feel amazing or painful.

The two face exfoliant are low quality because one of them was broken where it lock the bar in place (picture 4)
One of them is very stiff and rough. Running it through water won't change it's state. Not sure how it is suppose to work but I tried it on the lift bar turned on. Doesn't seem to do anything.
The other exfoliant seem like something you would use to clean the bathroom. It is softer than the ones you get from a supermarket but nothing special.

Bottom line; I do not find the 2 facial exfoliants necessary at all.

Acquapura Water Filter Straw






This is a pretty decent water filter straw from the quality and weigh.
The instruction did a pretty good job explaining how the straw works. The package includes the straw, backwash device and the 2nd filter to attach to the bottom of the straw.

If you're using clear water at home or bottled water you don't really need the extra filter. The bottom part of the straw can be easily twisted onto the mouth of the water bottle. This straw purposes is to filter organic matters, heavy metals and chloride.
When you first use it it is best to clean the straw first. You can suck the water out a few times and spit it out. It tasted weird but should be okay after that.


This device is essential for camping if you run out of clean water. During emergency uses or end of the world! Jk jk :P

Xtava TM Professional Curling Iron - Spiral Hair Curler






It is light weigh and easy to use. It does not seem to look or feel like high quality but it does the work.
When you plug in you will notice that the curler does not work. The only button is the on button when you plug in the charger.
The instruction does mention to wait 2 minutes. Make sure you hold the curler while it heats up because I have wooden floor which can potentially damage it. Don't put this curler near rugs or near any easily flammable objects when use. It should be somewhere safe as the casing provided.

Like any hair curler, this gets pretty hot and do not put your hand near the top. It works it's way upward so you can put the tip of your hair on the clip. I don't like my hair way too curly so a few seconds is done for me.

Sheer Texture Replenish Shampoo


Sheer Texture Replenish Shampoo







This shampoo is not your usual supermarket brand.
I find it interesting that the bottle has "ph 4.5-5.5" on it. The gel is semi transparent.
You may or may not know but 1 ph level difference is a lot and I'm not sure why it is listed as it is.

I have washed my hair with this shampoo 3 days in a row now. It's difficult to tell the difference between the brand I use normally and sheer texture.
However I do notice a bit of volume in my hair :)
While I do prefer a simple ingredient list. This shampoo has a shorter list than most. There are some great things about it such as;
sulfate, paraben, artificial color free.

The fragrance however is a bit too overwhelming for me. I understand how ladies like a good fragrance shampoo but I'd rather not as they are purely chemicals.
