oh{FISH}iee: Review: Bag Of Love, May Edition: Best of Beauty

Bag of Love in May'13 is rather special because it gathers all the well-known brands that shine through with their cult products. To complement with these prominent beauty brands, the bag of this May Edition shines in a way that no other beauty box does!

The bag itself is a silky feel matte glossy zipper cosmetic bag. I actually prefer this elegant bag more than the March's debut bag. This is so pretty and great for travelling.

Now let's see what's the treasure inside this month's bag!

The following products are ranked from #1 as my most favourite to #6 as my least favourite.

The product description card also provides you simple guidelines to use the products.

#1 CRABTREE & EVELYN Somerset Meadow Hand Therapy (Full-Sized!) @ RM30 for 25ml

The latest Somerset Meadow collection has fresh green fruity-floral scent.

It is an aromatic impression of an idyllic English landscape in bloom.

My hand is immediately smoother upon application, and this hand cream is also effective in locking moisture into the skin. The best feature I love bout it is the upliftingly fresh and feminine scent. The texture is light as it is infused with shea butter, macadamia nut oil and a delicate bouquet of wildflower, ivy and water lily.

Simply a great moisturizer and elegant fragrance this spring day!

#2 KERASTASE Bain Oleo-Relax Smoothing Shampoo (30ml) @ RM78 for 250ml

Smoothness and optimum nutrition for dry and rebellious hair.

It leaves hair soft, silky and under control.

The translucent gel-like shampoo also smells good! For trying it a few times, I find my hair slightly improved. It becomes less frizzy and of course smoother than before :) Hopefully a prolonged usage will help my hair to be silky and shiny again!

#3 DOVE Beauty Nourishing Body Wash (Full-Sized!) @ RM6.90 for 200ml

Only Dove Body Wash has Nutrium Moisture- their unique blend of moisturizers enriched with skin-natural lipids that can absorb completely to nourish deep down while you shower.

This is probably one of the most popular brands that you should know. It is good for its deeply nourishing and clean rinsing features, however my sensitive skin only allows me to use goat milk bath or baby milk bath, so I shall let my family try on this instead.

#4 ELIZABETH ARDEN Ceramide Capsules Daily Youth Restoring Serum (3.2ml)

@ RM320 for 60 capsules

Ceramide Gold Ultra Restorative Capsules is an intensive treatment for face and throat. A lightweight, silky-smooth -- yet non-greasy -- serum for your face, neck and décolletage that instantly infuses your skin to strengthen and repair the appearance of skin for a noticeably more youthful complexion.

Immediately smoothes and revitalizes the look of skin.
Visibly improves skin tone and clarity.
Supports skin's natural collagen for a firmer look.
Reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Gives your skin noticeably softer and smoother.
Reduces roughness and dryness.
Enhances your skin hydration for a fresh and balanced feel.

The packaging looks so cute! Capsules like these are like my hair serum, simply convenient and hygienic. Statistics prove that 100% of women showed a noticeable improvement in their skin, so you should try them out too!

#5 CALVIN KLEIN Eternity EDP (1.2ml x 2) @ RM254 / RM209 for 50ml

Eternity For Her is romantic, timeless, luxurious, with an endless bouquet of white flowers.

Eternity For Him is exhilarating, distinctive, classic, with a refreshing blend of green notes and masculine woods.

The EDP in the Bag of Love this round comes in a pair, one for male, another for female. For me, I prefer the Eternity For Men because it smells musky and more refreshing. Perhaps feminine sweet scent is just not my cup of tea? :)

#6 KERASTASE Nutritive Oleo-Relax Masque (15ml x 2)

Best for frizzy hair! I am glad that my hair is more manageable now :) It is almost effortless for me, because all I need to do is leave it on my towel-dried hair for 15 minutes and rinse it off. Simple!

Also, in the Bag of Love May Edition, there are few useful vouchers:

#7 Calvin Klein Discount Voucher (Purchase with Purchase)

#8 Crabtree & Evelyn 20% Discount Voucher

#9 Amante Nail Spa FREE Basic Manicure worth RM38

Lastly, Bag Of Love would like to treat us loyal subscribers with a comfortable manicure session. I have been to Amante before, as blogged in this post. More information bout Amante is available at https://www.facebook.com/AmanteNailSpaBodyCare.

VERDICT

What I like about Bag of Love May Version:

Value for money! The total value in this month's Bag of Love is RM130+ but you're only paying RM39.90 for it!
All-round beauty items, it has everything to pamper ourselves from head to toe! (Face, Hand, Body and even Soul!)
Pretty elegant pouch- I'm reusing it to store my luxury range of beauty products :P

What I don't like about Bag of Love April Version:

Gift vouchers. Most of the time I find them kinda useless, but this time I can treat myself a pampering manicure session!
Brush! I was actually expecting a Definite brush, to complete the collection from March and April bag. But no worries, I believe another Definite brush will jump into one of the upcoming bags in next few months!
