Today I received...a parcel from Strawberrynet

I love Strawberrynet and I've been shopping there for nearly 10 years and never had any issues. I like getting my hair products there as they are often on special and you get a salon-quality product for supermarket price. My shampoo supplies are getting low. So this time I got Sebastian Color Ignite shampoo for blonde and multi-tonal hair (I have blonde highlight and lowlights). It received positive reviews on makeupalley plus SN had it for just $23 for huge 1L bottle. I was expecting purple shampoo but this product is actually milky white. It smells very neutral too which I like :) Couldn't resist another Jack Black lip balm in Grapefruit and Ginger! I already have Lemon and Camomile and absolutely love how it instantly sinks into my lips without being heavy or sticky yet it is very moisturising. Jack Black skincare is designed for guys so these lip balms won't leave your lips shiny. As a bonus I received Cath Kidson Cherry Blossom hand cream. I already have lots

The texture of this lip balm is thick and waxy and it does very smooth on my lips and relieves discomfort immediately. However my favourite part if the scent which includes the notes of Ebony Wood, Warm Vanilla, Citrus Peel, Rosewater! It taste a bit like jasmine tea and has slight sweetness to it. I love using it and getting close to hitting the pan already. It is not the most handbag-friendly packaging therefore it lives in my desk drawer.   Kerastase Elixir Ultime I scored this hair oil as a freebie from Oscar Oscar when they have a Kerastase promotion.

Another lot of 10 beauty related items was finished by me since February plus I threw away a huge bag of expired and old make-up and skincare. I have been good and haven't really purchased anything apart from perfume. 1. L'Occitane Essence Sublime  My overall opinion - Pleasant serum with semi-matte finish and gorgeous subtle floral scent that instantly absorbed into my skin and make it velvety and soft. It came in my glass pump bottle and I used it very quickly (mainly as a make-up base). Would I buy it again?- Yes, I was very impressed and it suits my skin well. 2. Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat Foundation My overall opinion - Creamy foundation with medium coverage and natural radiant finish. Would I buy it again?-Not sure. While I like the finish, texture and how it felt on my skin the lasting power wasn't that great. 3. Vichy Normaderm Micellar Water My overall opinion -I remember when I first used it I was surpr
