Empties...part 2


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 after use (I have to follow it with face wash)
Would I buy it again? - Not sure as I often get these as GWP plus so many companies make them that you can get very similar product for a lot less.


14. Estee Lauder MagnaScopic Mascara (trial size)
My overall impression - Good mascara with average brush.
Would I buy it again? - Probably not. You can get similar product for about 1/4 of the original price


15. Jo Malone Blackberry & Bay EDT (1.5 ml sample)

My overall impression - Wow! Instant love. I was expecting another sweet fruity-berry scent but I got a surprise if form of true, green and slightly earthy scent.
Would I buy it again? - Yes, I got 9 ml miniature and several samples atm but might get a full size bottle when I go overseas (currents Aus prices are too ridiculous)



16. Sunsilk Straight Look leave-in conditioner

My overall impression - Very light leave-in conditioner that comes in a spray bottle and doesn't weight down my fine straight hair. Perfect for detangling and it has very subtle barely-there scent.
Would I buy it again? - Yes! I got it in one of those subscription boxes but it retails around $7-8...not bad for the price if you ask me.



17. Sebastian Penetraitt Conditioner
My overall impression - This stuff is supposed to be reconstructive but it is very very light.
Would I buy it again? - No! It did nothing for my hair. I've used other Sebastian products in the past and really liked them but this one is a miss.


18. Lush Ro Argan Body Conditioner (sample)

My overall impression - A small sample was given to me by kind sales assistant when I asked for something that smells similar to Rose Jam shower Gel. This product does indeed has a very similar rose scent (a bit nuttier though) and is supposed to be applied in shower. It did leave my skin very hydrated and nicely scented.
Would I buy it again? - Probably not, unless the price will come down or I can get it on sale. It retails for $32.95 which is a lot for product that can be easily substituted...plus I prefer solid bars.


19. Simple Cleansing Wipes
My overall impression - Very plain and boring face wipes
Would I buy it again? - No, there are much better products out there in a similar price range


20. Yves Saint Laurent Instant Pur Toning and Cleansing water
My overall impression - Nicely scented (like a lot of French cosmetics) clear and gentle toning solution. However it didn't do a good job at removing make-up and impurutuies
Would I buy it again? - No, there are better products out there for my needs

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
