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 get them again.



5. Guerlain Parure Extreme Foundation
 I had this foundation for over 6 months and did a review on it few months ago. It is a gorgeous product and one of the best true long-lasting foudations I've tried so I will definitely buy it again even though it is on expensive side.


6. L'Occitane Verbena Body Wash
 I got a small 50 ml sample and kept it in my gym bag. I love using it after workout because it makes me feel energised and fresh. I would make it my regular summer shower gel if it wasn't so expensive.


7. Nivea Daily Essentials Wipes
 I've been buying them for year. They are one of the most effective facial wipes I've tried so far. I do believe however that the old version was a bit better.


8. Clarins Toner with Iris (normal/combination skin)
 I took a small 50ml bottle with me while I was travelling so I still had some when I returned. It is a good alcohol-free toner that won't burn or irritate skin yet it helped to keep it clear. Will definitely get it again.


9. Wella SP Hydrate mask
 I think this is my 3rd or 4th tub. I love this stuff, it hydrates my hair well and keeps it in decent condition.


10. Clarins Multi-Active Night Cream
I really don't understand why some companies re-formulate good product. I used the original Multi-Active "prevention plus" night creme couple of years ago and loved it to bits. I got a smaller tube in GWP and was a bit disappointed. It didn't break me out and still moisturised well, but it lacked the original luxurious floral scent and wasn't as velvety.
                                   
          
11. L'Oreal Hydrafresh Body Milk Spray
I found this one in my stash so I hate to think how old it was. However it was still new and came in hygienic bottle so I used it up (plus it retained its gorgeous scent). I love using a moisturisers in a spray bottle, it is very quick and easy to apply plus they tend to absorb easily being lighter in texture. Unfortunately several companies discontinued their spray moisturisers for some unknown to me reason.  L'Oreal also used to make Oleonergy Satin Body oil which was the most gorgeous body oil I have ever tried.

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...

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...
