Project 10 Pan no.2...part 2

Sorry it took me so long to find time a write a second part of my recent project 10 pan.

1. Clinique Moisture Surge Gel Creme 50 ml (full size)

 My overall impression- light unscented oil-free gel-creme. It didn't break me out which is a big bonus. However it wasn't moisturising enough when my skin was extra dry during cooler months. Due to gel texture it leaves slight film on your skin which might be an issue for some people. It was great to use under foundation as it didn't react with it nor made it slide off.
Would I buy it again? - possibly, if I don't find a perfect moisturiser that suits my skin and absorbs fully.


2. The Body Shop Tea Tree Cleansing Wipes
My overall impression - I was intrigued to try anti-bacterial wipes hoping it will control my breakouts. I picked them up at the airport when I was in transit (I really needed something "cleansing"). They leave my skin refreshed but don't remove mascara as well as my usual Nivea wipes.
Would I buy it again? - probably not. Nivea is still my favourite and it is significantly cheaper and more effective.


3. U Little Beauty Natural Repair Hair Mask 50 ml (trial size)
My overall impression - This product was sent to me in March Bellabox. I likes it at first, it had very lovely scent and natural ingredients looked very promising. However my hair didn't like it at all. I felt like it was overloading my fine hair with oils making it limp and lifeless.
Would I buy it again? - No, it doesn't suit my hair type


4. Stila Major Lash Mascara
 My overall impression - good deep black mascara with smallish brush. It was easy to use but didn't add major volume or length to my lashes.
Would I buy it again? - No, there are better mascaras for me out there


5. Aveda Pure Abundance Conditioner, 250 ml (full size)
My overall impression - I got this conditioner from Strawberrynet back in March. I've enjoyed using it! It had mild herbal scent, made my hair feel and look good and didn't weight it down.
Would I buy it again? - Possibly! I still haven't decided if I prefer this one to Wella Hydro conditioner which work really well for my hair.

Happy Birthday Barbie!

Image
Barbie turned 53 today! She changed a lot in 53 years and I must say she got better with age In 1959 she looked like this: Beautiful, pale and stylish In 1960's Barbie was quite conservative and traditional as a Nurse and French Fashionista In 1970's iconic Malibu Barbie emerged. In my opinion she started the whole "Barbie" trend - tanned skin, blonde hair and long legs. She also came with a BF Ken and camper van Barbie industry was going strong in 80's. She appeared in vast range of outfist and collections From sweet Peaches n Cream To Over-The-Top Rocker Barbie and Holiday Barbies I grew up in 90's. I remember my best friend's sister brought this one home from Italy in 1991 It was in the former Soviet State and Barbies were very rare and highly prized so to me it was the most beautiful thing ever. Totally Hair Barbie and Teresa were very popular This add used to mesmerise me, it was played during Disney series as well as Hollyw

Buyers Beware - Fake OPI nail polish!

Image
Fake anything especially make-up makes me very angry! Yesterday I was browsing Ebay because I wanted to get some OPI nail polishes and came across few clearly fake ones. I got few OPIs from Ebay and never had an issue. Mine came from US sellers who charged US retail prices for their polishes. They sold lots and lots of them and seemed to specialize in nail products. Yesterday I came across few lots of "OPI" nail polishes. I saw fair dew lots from sellers who don't particularly specialize in nail products. They were "factory seconds" and were missing a label. The shades were very random and I never saw those shades in OPI collections. However I know that some counterfeit OPIs will have a lable with colour name on it. I was fortunate enough and never got a fake OPI nail polish . So I will show you what a REAL one looks like. 1. The front of the bottle Note the writing. There are some variations between old and new editions of OPI but the writing at t

I had my Tragus pierced today!

Image
It is something I wanted to do for few week now. I always liked the look of multiple earrings and even pierced a second hole in my ear when I was 11 (which then I took out and it eventually healed). Tragus piercing to me looked very appealing but painful. However after speaking to few people who had it done I realised it doesn't seem to be as bad. Today I summoned my courage and called Cosmetics Plus at Carindale. They told me to come in as Fridays are usually not very busy. I've applied plenty of EMLA numbing cream on the area 30 min before (however I was told it is best to apply it 45 to 60 min prior). The whole process took 10 minutes and set me back $35 including the earring.     The girl who did my piercing was very nice and friendly. She first marked the spot with a marker pen and asked if I was happy with the placement, I've decided that I wanted it a bit lower hence why you can see a bit of ink residue above the piercing. Then she disinfected the area and a
