Yay, I finished another 10 items from my huge skincare, hair care and make-up range. It feels like I am getting closer to having a manageable collection. So in about 8 weeks I finished 10 items, some were full size, some generous trial size. 1. Nivea Q10 Firming Body Lotion  (Full Size 250 ml) My overall impression - Nivea makes great low-cost skincare products. They are not the best out there but they are the best in their category. This body lotion moisturised well and had pleasant typical Nivea scent. On the downside it did leave flight film on my skin, scent was a bit strong and it wasn't as "luxurious" as some more expensive body lotions. Would I buy it again? - Maybe, particularly if I need to get inexpensive body moisturiser that's available from almost any chemist and supermarket 2. Clinique Rinse-Off Foaming Cleaser (Full Size)  My overall impression - This is my favourite foaming cleanser. I've tried and tested various other cleansers but ...

I was browsing skincare at my local Terry White Chemist few months ago while waiting for my script. I came across a new skincare range called Lapurete. Very cool pump bottle grabbed my attention and I tested their night cream on the back of my hand. Oh my...it smelled so good (subtle rose + floral scent), it felt even better.

I also have no major issues with wrinkles but would like to use something for prevention as I am in my mid-to-late 20's. This product seemed to have lots of natural ingredients and no harsh chemicals like parabens and petrochemicals. It is described by Lapurete as: " Minimises the appearance of: Dry skin, sagging skin, skin roughness, dull co...

David Jones released another  Beauty Book Recently. I love browsing through them because quite often they have very good offers and GWP. It was very hard to resist fair few things but I ended up getting their Deluze Sampler Tote. I finished 10 products recently so I decided to reward myself (I'll do another project 10 pan soon).  I got them in the past and thought they were excellent. They usually have a selection of full size and deluxe sample size product that they stock. They are always a great value for money and a good way to try various shower gels, hand creams and lip balms. So this particular lot came in this very cute and summery canvas tote  someone is always curious to see what I brought home :)  it contained 8 items valued over $100  1. David Jones Men's Hair & Body Shampoo 125 ml. This product smells really nice (like good guys perfume). My other half will be more than happy to use it!  2. Natio Body Butter 100 g (F/S)...
