Review: Too Cool For School Roll Lip Pop

If you've been following this blog, you probably know I am not easily swayed by brand names, marketing ploys and packaging. Also, I do not believe in the tenet of "the higher the price, the better the quality" - a belief unfortunately shared by most skin care and beauty junkies. 

Too Cool For School is one of those brands with such amazing packaging and branding, and if product quality is never a consideration, TCFS is my number one Korean brand. But alas, I have mixed reviews on their products. Today, I'm reviewing Too Cool For School's Roll Lip Pop. 

Cute artful packaging aside, will this lip balm be a winner or a flop? Read on to know more.

Review: Too Cool For School Jean George Llong Sun Block

In my quest to find a new, alcohol-free sunscreen, I've chanced upon Too Cool For School's Jean George Llong. And on this quest, I've realized that some things are easier said than done.

Review: Too Cool For School O2 Bubble Cleansing Pack

Chicken.

Whenever I touch my face, I can't help but feel tiny bumps on it, and I hate it. My office mate even commented on how scaly my face looked. I figured I might have dry skin, or I simply lack exfoliation (because I am afraid of exfoliating as I get damaged capillaries very easily - and I am being gentle). 

So I decided I should moisturize more often (even at work, during breaks.. definitely buying a handy moisturizer) and I should get an exfoliator. I was in TCFS's North EDSA branch and the SA recommended this cleansing pack when I told her I was looking for an exfoliator. 

So how did it perform?

Product vs Product (PvP): The Face Shop Herb Day Cleansing Tissue vs. Too Cool for School Gazagaza

Because I'm not sosyal enough to commute to work by taxis or private car, I usually go by bus, MRT or jeepneys. By the time I get to my night class, my face feels like it is caked up with sweat and grime from all the exhaust floating around in EDSA. Which is why I regularly purchase facial wipes so I can quickly freshen up for my class. I've used several drugstore brands (Waston's, Kleenex), but today I'll be doing a product versus between:

Review: Too Cool For School Rolly Doll Perfume Gel

Last Thursday, thanks to an unscheduled site meeting, I was able to leave work early and go check out Too Cool For School's North EDSA branch. I actually did lose a good half an hour in that shop, thanks to the not-so-girly interiors and packaging, and very attentive sales assistant.

The sales assistant was very friendly and accomodating, that even if all the TCFS merchandise I've bought do not have ingredient lists, I still have a haul.
