This review is a little unusual in that it comes from my mother instead of myself. In my last haul, she got some stuff, and she has graciously shared her opinion so far.

The Face Shop Lovely ME:EX Bebe Lip Essence SPF 15

This is basically a semi-glossy lip balm in a tube. It’s clear and smells strongly of bananas, but the scent fades away within a few minutes, just leaving a nice balm coating on your lips.

On roseroseshop, the non-discounted price is $6.90. I think it’s main selling point is the pleasant scent of bananas, which you never find outside of lipsmacker products.

The Face Shop Fruit Ball Hand Cream in No. 3 Lemon

Stereotypical hand cream in adorable fruit container. The container can be opened by unscrewing the top – it’s not difficult, but it does seems secure enough to be carried around without fear of leakage. The fragrance does smell almost exactly like a fresh cut lemon (not like Clorox wipes), but like the lip essence the fragrance fades within a few moments. The actual hand cream is a pleasant, emollient blend that absorbs fairly rapidly into the skin, leaving it moisturized.

On roseroseshop the non-discounted price per item is $4.40. I will say these would make adorable party favors. My mother really likes this one, especially for the reaction she gets whenever she pulls it out of her purse when she’s out and about.
