May '18 empties

Boom and another month is gone! Another nine items are done and dusted. Here is what I finished in May. 1. Sephora Bi-phase Make-up Remover My overall impression - very similar to lots of other bi-phase make-up removers out there and to be honest they seems to be phasing out (pun intended). Would I buy it again? No. They don't work well in my opinion as I always seem to have traces of mascara left behind plus I always end up with a weird fild on my face that I need to wash off. 2. Lush Candy Cane Roulade My overall impression - It came as a part of Christmas gift pack and had super strong smell but when I was using it it filled the shower with the most gorgeous sweet mint scent almost identical to candy cane. It also felt very creamy but unfortunately went a bit soggy. Would I buy it again? Not sure, loved the scent but wasn't a fan of sogginess. 3. Kerastase Christaliste Shampoo My overall impression - I fell in love with this shampoo as it seemed to be...

Yay! Finished another lot of products. Soon I will be able to utilize all those occupied drawers with something more useful like gym clothes or singlets so it is better organized. My dream is to fit all my make-up and beauty products in my bathroom and only buy them when I finish the old ones. With current unfavourable exchange rate online shopping is not very tempting. So it makes it easier not to accumulate a stash of products purchased during flash sales. 1. Bioderma Exfoliating purifying gel My overall impression - foaming cleanser with fine particles that will cleanse and exfoliate in one step. Gentle enough for daily use but not that great for make-up removal so it is better used in the morning. Would I buy it again? - yes, I think it help to keep my breakouts under control. 2. Biotherm Aquasource moisturizer My overall impression - gel-like cooling moisturiser with the signature marine Biotherm scent. It did take a bit longer for my liking to sink in but...

I actually finished over twenty products since October but haven't had a chance to do a blog about it. So here we go...  1. Original Source Vanilla & Raspberry shower gel My overall impression - mmm, smells like a raspberry milkshake! Quite creamy and foams well. Would I buy it again ? - Yes! It is one of the best supermarket shower gels out there, it cost me around $3 2. Garnier  Fructis hair spray My overall impression - Garnier Fructis range smells nice but majority of the products simply don't work for me. This hair spray did pretty much nothing for my hair except for gluing it together. Would I buy it again - Nope, for the reasons listed above.  3. KMS Moist Repair shampoo My overall impression - Can't fault this product, it cleansed my hair well but without drying it out. The smell was pleasant but subtle. I got a big bottle from Strawberrynet and it lasted me a very long time. Would I buy it again - Yes, I really like...

June-Sept '14 empties

It took me good 3 weeks to finish this post. I started a new job couple of weeks ago and I work more hours that before plus social life is getting busy so as you imagine I haven't got much time left for blogging.  Another lot of products has been emptied and some thrown away... Here is what I've used up in the last couple of months 1. REDKEN Blonde Glam treatment   My overall impression - Colour-depositing treatment with gorgeous scent. It neutralized brassy tones in my highlighted hair and makes it very shiny and soft Would I buy it again? - Yes, I think it was my 3-4 bottle of this stuff 2. Billie Goat Milk and Honey soap My overall impression - yummy scented and very moisturising soap that helped my skin when it was extra sensitive. It is probably the nicest "sensitive skin safe" product I managed to find. Would I buy it again? - Yes, if I have to. It only lasted me couple of weeks (I usually get 2+ months from my shower gels). 3. B...

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...

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...
