I hope everyone had a great, if not restful X’mas. Today, I’m going to review another lip balm – the Rosebud Brambleberry Rose Lip Balm.

I’ve wanted to own Smith’s Rosebud Salve from Rosebud Perfume Company for the longest time. I think it must be the whole nostaglic feel about the product that attracted me. So you can imagine how pleased I was when I saw it in Sephora at Takashimaya Shopping Centre. And it’s fairly affordable – S$14 for the 0.8oz pot.

(A lip gloss that can make you thin? Yeah, how about that?)

Some of you who have participated in Part 2 of the Viva Woman Bejeweled Giveaway might already know about THINgloss, a lipgloss that contains Hoodia to suppress appetite and cravings. To be honest, I wasn’t quite sure if I wanted to review the product initially. First, I’ve been told very recently that I’m getting thinner and so I don’t really need anymore slimming. Second, I was slightly worried about the ingredients. However when I read that the ingredients are all natural plant extracts, botanicals and essential oils, I thought I’ll give it a try for the fun of it.
