Bellabox October 2013

Yes, I've signed up to Bellabox again. It was fun to receive a parcel filled with new products to try. I eventually unsubscribed because some boxes contained a lot of products I simply wouldn't use. This edition of Bellabox is their 2nd anniversary addition so I knew it would be good. Plus L'Occitane (one of my favorite skincare brands) joined them!  Here is what I got in my box: 1. Alfaparf Diamond Shampoo 60 ml and Conditioner 50 ml (value $11.60) Illiminating shampoo for normal hair that is free from Sulphates, Parabens, Parrafins, Mineral Oil, Coloring and Allergens. Comes is very generous trial size. 2. L'Occitane Shea Butter Hand Cream 10 ml (value $2.60) I've tried this hand cream before and it is one of the best. Good handbag size. 4. Bioderma Sebum Exfoliating Gel 15 ml (value $3.75) I've heard a lot of good things about Bioderma and been recently obsessing over French skincare as I find it suits my European skin well.

Rapid change of seasons made me realise that I need (or rather want) to get few things. I was in Singapore couple of months ago where I discovered Acqua Di Parma Blu Mediterraneo range  I sprayed Arancia di Capri on my wrist and couldn't stop sniffing it throughout the day. I was exploring the city so I didn't end up going back to buy it. I like to wear my fragrances for couple of hours anyway because some of them can go from nice to nasty on my skin.

I love all of them and it was hard to choose but I couldn't resist sweet citrus scent of Arancia. It is describes as "Sunny as this radiant and relaxing fragrance. Its soothing notes of perfume produce a deep sensation of harmony, as when contemplating Capri’s idyllic landscape. Top notes bring us juicy freshness of orange, Sicilian mandarin, bergamot and luminous, bitter grapefruit. A heart i

September Empties

  As you can see September was a very "productive" months for me. I managed to use 11 items and freed some much needed space. 1. Nivea Exfoliating Wipes  They rubbery texture that supposed to exfoliate but unfortunately they don't remove make-up well. Won't buy them again. 2. KMS Moist Repair Conditioner  One of the best conditioners I've tried. Could easily rival some hair masks on the market. It made my hair very soft and smelled very nice. Will buy it again once I finish the lot I currently have. 3. David Jones Body Wash for Men with Pepper and Cashmere  I got it in previous DJ "sampler tote". I actually likes this product, it didn't irritate or dry out my and had pleasant spicy scent. Not sure if I get it again as there are a lot of good body washes within similar price range. 4. Formula 10.0.6 Purifying Face Wipes    Very generic wipes, didn't remove make-up as well as I would like them to. Won't ge
