11. Lush King of Skin Body Butter My overall impression - Yum! This product smells gorgeous and does a good job at moisturising my skin. I can be quite lazy with moisturiser after shower so using this product during shower was a perfect solution for me. Would I buy it again? - Yes, if I can get it on sale again (I got mine 1/2 price during Boxing Day sales). It was used approx. 1 per week and I got 6 uses out of one bar. 12. Maybelline Maste Liner   My overall impression - They lied to us! It doesn't produce smooth line. At the end it dried out and because pretty much unusable because it was dragging my skin too much. Would I buy it again? - No! I liked the brown one a lot better and re-purchased it again...however I got an older stock and it was one again pretty much unusable. 13. Clinique Take the day off make-up remover (trial size) My overall impression - Bi-phase unscented remover that does a good job but leaves an oily film aft...

To me Miss Charming by Juliette Has a Gun is the perfect Valentines Day scent even if you don't celebrate it. I find it is a quite linear scent and doesn't change much on me, just fades over time. It opens up with luscious fresh roses sweetened by lychees and red berries. This scent is very good quality and doesn't smell like artificial flavourings so many scents possess these days. I love wearing it when I have dates with my husband and it is one of few perfumes he truly likes. I came across Juliette Has a Gun perfume brand at Queens Plaza David Jones. The name was indeed fascinating so I had  go home and learn more about it. The brand was started by Romano Ricci (a grandson of Nina Ricci) and one of my favourite perfumers Francis Kurkdjian! They only have 11 perfumes in their range but all of them are very very good.

I haven't done "empties" list for quite sometime because for a while I just didn't have enough accumulated...then I was too busy to blog...next thing I knew I had finished 20 items. So here they are (part 1 - in no particular order):  1. The Body Shop Mango Body Scrub 50g   My overall impression - it is a sugar scrub that is suspended in oily base and smells like true mango. It leaves skin moisturised and smooth plus gives it a nice sheen after use. It does however goes off quick so it is best to be used fresh Would I buy it again? - I do like it but my preferred scrub is a lot cheaper and more suitable for my needs. I tend to exfoliate before fake tanning so oil-based scrubs are not the best for it. 2. Natio 30+ Sunscreen Lotion 125 g   My overall impression - Pleasantly and mildly scented non-greasy sunscreen that seems to be very effective. Would I buy it again? - Yes, I quite like it plus it is reasonably priced 3. Clinique Claryfying Lot...

L'Occitane Ambre & Santal appeared on the market in 2013 as a part of their La Collection de Grasse range. I've tried the earlier realease and white it was quite nice nothing really caught my attention. Untill L'Occitane released Ambre & Santal and Cedre & Oranger closer to the Holiday Season. Described by L'Occitane as   A solar fusion of Oriental spice and Mediterranean wood. Gentle top notes of bergamot and rosemary lead to a heart of fig leaves and rose. This woody oriental fragrance has a base of santal and cedar woods, as well as labdanum and vanilla . Ambre & Santal is indeed a very well-blended scent. To me it has three facets - woody (mainly sandalwood), resinous (labdanum and amber, even though it is not listed I still get it) and vanilla bean. The woody note is big at the beginning, it tends to dominate on my skin even though I get sweetness from underlying vanilla. Then it dries down to a most comforting warm scent that tends to last ...

Due to recent Chemist Warehouse Sales my Revlon Lip Butter collection has tripled.  New addition include Strawberry Shortcake, Sorbet, Wild Watermelon and Candy Apple. Prior to that I went for more subtle Creme Brulee and Sugar Frosting. I am still shy to wear bright colours during the day but Lip Butters sheer colour and even coverage makes them perfect for any occasion. They feel very light and smooth on lips and have very mild vanilla scent. IMO their moisturising properties are ok but not excellent so I still wear my lip balm regularly. R-L Creme Brulee/Sorbet Sugar Frosting/Wild Watermelon Strawberry Shortcake/Candy Apple Creme Brulee - warn nude beige Sorbet - bright rose pink Sugar Frosting - warn light pink with a hint of shimmer Wild Watermelon - bright warm pink red Strawberry Shortcake - light creamy pink Candy Apple - warm bright red I love them all but I must admit that Sorbet, Strawberry Shortcake and Wild Watermel...
