Spin Master 500-Piece Jigsaw Puzzle, Paul Lewin Shani

I absolutely love doing puzzles so I was so happy to get chosen!
It’s not a puzzle I would have chosen off the shelf… HOWEVER, I can say the quality is great! The picture is beautiful. The pieces are thicker like ravensberger. Well cut, no pieces you need to rip apart usually leading to damage…
The only thing I didn’t like about it is, I’m used to doing 1000+ puzzles so it took me 2 days to do… wish it was bigger! Lol
All in all, I would highly recommend, pieces are clear images and really fun putting it together :)

I'm not going to deny that I'm huge fan of packaging and A. by BOM's packaging for their masks is gorgeous! So, I was very excited to receive A. by BOM's Ultra Serum Leaf Mask from be MUSED Korea at "Beauty Date x MTL" hosted by Skinvestment last month.
Even though A. by BOM's packaging for their masks has floral designs on them, the floral scent is quite subtle and not overpowering. This serum in this mask is filled with nourishing and skin cell repairing ingredients such as Korean Ginseng Berry Extract, Apricot Kernel Oil, Fig Fruit Extract and Pomegranate Extract. Similarly to the Ultra Water Leaf Mask (another favourite mask of mine from A. by BOM), the mask is made with "an hypoallergenic Bemliese sheet mask that provides deep hydration" which allows better absorption of the gel-like texture serum. I was very surprised at the results after using the mask, not only my skin felt softer and much more hydrated but I've also noticed that my skin was actually tighter and slightly brighter!

I received A. by BOM's Ultra Water Leaf Mask from be MUSED Korea at "Beauty Date x MTL" hosted by Skinvestment last month.
This mask contains highly concentrated plant energy ampoule to ensure the skin stays hydrated and it is made with "an hypoallergenic Bemliese sheet mask that provides deep hydration." Bemliese sheet masks can absorb a lot more moisture than regular sheet masks. Also, unlike other sheet masks, this mask is folded in a mesh rather than a plastic sheet, so the mask was soaked in the gel-like texture ampoule. After removing the mask, a very thin layer of the ampoule remained on the skin and my skin felt very hydrated. I personally liked this gel-based ampoule mask because it was able to keep my skin moisturized until the next morning.

107 ONE O SEVEN - Feminine Body Soap PLUS ALPHA

I've never thought of using a feminine soap bar or even using a natural soap/body gel for the feminine area until I received 107 (ONE O SEVEN)'s Feminine Body Soap + Alpha at the beauty event entitled "Beauty Date x MTL" hosted by Skinvestment last month. This particular Feminine Body Soap is curated by be MUSED Korea.
107 (ONE O SEVEN) is a Korean brand that uses fermented vinegar in their skincare products and they created a bar soap for women made with mugwort vinegar and oriental herbs. Vinegar is used to reduce the toxin and excess oils from the skin. The leaves and roots of mugwort have been used for medicinal purposes such as "delayed menstruation and help restore a woman's natural monthly cycle."
Usually, it can take quite some time for a natural soap bar to foam up. However, 107 (ONE O SEVEN)'s Feminine Body Soap + Alpha lathers really well and my skin didn't feel dry or irritated after using it. It created enough foam that I can easily use this soap for shaving too! The soap is also recommended for shaving because when we get razor bumps, they are actually small razor cuts and since the soap contains vinegar, it acts as a great disinfectant as well!

I have to admit that I was quite hesitant when I received SoyBIO+'s Fermented Shampoo at "Beauty Date x MTL" hosted by Skinvestment. This product is curated by Daint, a Toronto-based skincare beauty box company, and during the event, it was mentioned that the shampoo can be used for coloured hair. So, I thought why not give it a try and see how my blond and straw-like hair will turn out after using this shampoo.
My natural hair colour is black and I have coloured hair for many years, it's currently light blond. I've noticed that using SoyBIO+'s Fermented Shampoo, my scalp is less flaky and my blond hair doesn't feel as dry. I have long hair that goes to the waist and I love how you can easily create bubbles just by using a pea size of the product. By using this shampoo, my hair actually produced less oil, I believe that it might be due to the small quantity needed to wash your hair. Even though the shampoo is made with fermented soybeans, it smells nothing like fermented food. It has a very light peppermint scent, which is so relaxing and soothing as if you're in a spa!

I've always been concerned about clogging the pores on my face but I've never really paid attention to the pores located in the underarms! So, I was very excited and couldn't wait to try the natural deodorant from a Canadian brand - routine given by Skinvestment during the beauty event - "Beauty Date x MTL."
Each deodorant has the most creative names (i.e. Bonnie n Clyde, Like a boss, Johnny's Cash...) and the one I received was named "SUPERSTAR", which contains activated charcoal and magnesium. The charcoal helps detoxify and the magnesium reduces stress sweats. I also liked that they've added nourishing and natural oils such as coconut oil, olive oil, rose geranium oil and clary sage oil. Instead of the usual stick deodorant, routine's deodorant is creamy and very hydrating. Even with the added oils, it dries up quickly and won't stain the clothes. I'm so happy to have discovered a natural deodorant and routine created a diverse selection of natural deodorants for those with sensitive skin, for kids and for pregnant and breastfeeding women as well!

Last year, my skin became very dry and the only remedy was oils, and since then, they have become an obsession of mine. At "Beauty Date x MTL", a beauty event hosted by Skinvestment, I was given a "Nourishing Facial Oil" from the brand Woodlot.
This plant-based oil is filled with vitamins from rosehip oil, olive oil, jojoba oil, argan oil, shea butter, chamomile oil and lavender oil. When it comes to oils, I'm always afraid that it might too thick and that it'll take quite some time for the skin to absorb it before I can proceed with the next step of my skincare routine. Surprisingly, this oil feels light and the skin absorbs it quickly. I didn't expect to see results right away but my skin felt more supple and had a healthy glow the next morning! Woodlot's "Nourishing Facial Oil" has become my go-to oil when I lack of sleep and when I need to restore my skin immediately!

Last month, I attended a beauty event entitled "Beauty Date x MTL" hosted by Skinvestment and I received a Rose Water Vinegar from the brand - 107 One O Seven. One of Seven is one of the Korean brands curated by Be Mused Korea and this brand uses natural fermented vinegar to develop their skincare products.
The Rose Water Vinegar has been fermented for 7 years, it contains antibacterial properties that can help reduce acne and vinegar has been known to help the restoration of pH levels of the skin. If you think it smells anything like vinegar, you'd be disappointed. I'd say it's almost unscented, there's no trace of vinegar scent to it and you could barely smell the rose either. Rather than using it as a mist, I've been using it daily as a toner since it's so light and hydrating. After using the Rose Water Vinegar for only one week, I was so surprised to see that some of my blemishes actually got lighter and my skin tone seemed more balanced.

Last month, I attended "Beauty Date x MTL", a beauty event hosted by Skinvestment and I was very intrigued by the fermented mist by SoyBIO+ curated by Daint. Daint is a Toronto-based company that curates new and upcoming Korean skincare products. The mist is made with small fermented black soybeans that can help skin cell regeneration and skin reparation.And don't let the word "fermented" intimidate you!
I was speechless with the results from SoyBIO+'s Fermented Mist. I only needed to use the mist in the morning, my skin was so soft and remained hydrated throughout the day. I've also used the mist as a makeup-setting spray and it created a beautiful dewy finish. It felt like my makeup was happily sitting on my skin and made my makeup looked so natural!

I have tried many face masks and when I was given a set of masks from the brand "b.liv" from the beauty event entitled "Beauty Date x MTL" hosted by Skinvestment, I wondered how the "Immerse me" masks from this brand differed from all the other masks currently available in the market.
The "Immerse me" mask from b.liv contains hyaluronic acid and lentil extract, which hydrate the skin and help water retention, "while reducing appearance of fine lines and wrinkles." It also has cogongrass extract that can provide long term moisture to the skin. The mask has anti-aging properties due to galangal extract, apple fruit and watermelon extract that rejuvenate the skin and help reduce blemishes and dullness.
After using the mask for 30 minutes, my face was not only hydrated and brighten, but the mask still remained moist enough for me to use it on my neck. The mask was soaked in the essence and there was still some essence left in the bag that can be used on the elbow areas or any dry areas. The "Immerse me" mask from b.liv definitely took the terms "hydrating" and "moisture" to another level!
