Natura Siberica Khan-Chai (ca. $12)
This is a herbal tea from Natura Siberica (a Russian skincare brand). It is supposed to remove toxins out of your body, and only has 3 ingredients in it. Allegedly, it is made from an ancient recipe, and it was Genghis Khan's favourite drink. So, being as brave and ruthless as Mr Khan, I decided to give this drink a try. I boiled water-- 250ml water to 1 teaspoon of the powder. And then, I tried it... I cannot say it is disgusting. But enjoyable? Hardly. It is like cream mixed with water, with a slightly weird after taste. The lengths that I go to...
Natura Siberica Rhodiola Rosea Neck and Décolletage Cream (ca. $13)
As some of you may know, I have been using the NIOD neck cream for 6 months. After I finished it, I decided to try this one, which is of course a lot less expensive than the NIOD one. According to Natura Siberica, this cream has Anti-aging peptides, 2 types of Hyaluronic Acid, patented lifting complex, and some other things, which all promise to make the neck area tighter and more elastic. Fat chance. I am not sure if this cream does anything apart from moisturising. It is too liquid-y and my neck feels exactly the same. I would not recommend it.

Natura Siberica Rhodiola Hyaluronic Injection Patch (ca. €7)
Let me quote Jeffree Star: "I am shook!" Honestly, I could not believe that this thing would work, but it did. Shook! So, what are they? They are micro-needle eye patches with patented technology behind it. You know Rodial's injection patches that cost like 4 times more per pair? Well, these are similar but more advanced. They have hundreds of tiny needles on the patch- you place each patch under each eye, and for 25min, you slightly dab on them to let the under-eye area absorb all of the hyaluronic acid (yes, it might slightly feel uncomfortable, but be gentle). That's not all. After 25mins, you take out a small ampoule and dab the liquid inside it onto the patch (the middle of the patch will literally transform into gel). You then immediately take off the patch, and rub the gel that is left on the skin into the under-eye area. Wow! The effect is there. I could not believe it myself. The under-eye area felt so much smoother, it's crazy! Definitely will ask my dad to buy me more!
