How To Be A Bombshell

How to Be a Bombshell

by Alice Mungyu

Have you ever passed someone whose elegant scent made you stop in your tracks? FiFi Award-winning Bombshell Body Mist by Victoria's Secret takes fragrance to a whole new level. A glamorous blend of purple passion fruit, Shang-la peony and vanilla orchid, this body spray is appropriate for any occasion. For only $25, this high-quality aroma will make you steal the spotlight.

The fragrance isn’t too overpowering, but it has the right amount of sweetness. After applying it, the body mist instantly freshens up your skin—and uplifts your mood. The airy imbue has a refreshing touch to it, and for the price, it is definitely worth your money.

Compared to other high-end perfume brands such as Marc Jacobs, Dior, or Gucci, Bombshell Body Mist by Victoria's Secret surpasses the standards required for a simple, yet a pleasant fragrance that would brighten up your spirits.

“I really like the fragrance because the scent smells really fresh and clean. The price isn’t overbearing and I’ve gotten compliments whenever I wear it,” sophomore Melissa Chen said.  

The only downside to this product on your skin or clothes is that the scent doesn’t last too long. However, if you rub on a pea-sized amount of Victoria's Secret Bombshell Body lotion, and then layer this body mist onto your skin, the scent would stay on for an extensive amount of time. Or, because the bottle is only 2.5 FL OZ, you can easily fit the container in your bag when you’re on the go or inside your locker so you can apply it before or after gym.

It is sold in Victoria’s Secret stores, and online. If you want it for an even better price, wait until they have their semi-annual sale in January and June. This scent’s essence is essential to your everyday routine, and I guarantee it is worth your money.

Aid your beauty with First Aid Beauty's Ultra Repair Cream

First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream Review

by Yura Shin

The First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream is a rich, thick cream that is perfect for anyone with dry skin, dry patches, and/or is struggling with irritation or itching from eczema. The cream can be used on your face, body, anywhere. It really does what it says.

I’ve been on a hunt for the perfect moisturizer/lotion for 2 years now. I have combination skin, so it’s hard for me to find skin care products that help my face. I naturally have oily skin, but have dry areas of my face so I’ve been struggling to find a lotion that will moisturize my face without feeling too heavy, thick, or oily. And the Ultra Repair Cream by First Aid Beauty epitomizes the perfect lotion, moisturizer, and cream all in one.

When applied, the skin absorbs the cream instantly and doesn’t leave you oily. It doesn’t feel like theres anything on your face. The Ultra Repair Cream makes you feel fresh and brightens up any area the cream was treated on. It isn’t harsh, so it’s safe for people with sensitive skin. Its smooth and gently especially on the face, making application of makeup extremely easy. It is fragrance free which is always a plus.

This cream uses more natural ingredients and doesn’t have any parabens, sulfates, phthalates, and petroleum.

The high quality cream is also very affordable; it retails for $28 for a 6 oz and $12 for 2oz. One 6oz  container of the Ultra Repair Cream lasts for about 5 months. Although it’s easier to go towards cheaper creams, isn’t it better to spend a little more to achieve the skin everyone desires?

The Ultra Repair Cream can be purchased from First Aid Beauty, Sephora, and/or any beauty/ skin stores like beauty.com and skinstore.com.
