The Stuff I'd Used

Pearl, peppermint & ylang ylang, on sale at £11.97. Quite a pricey body scrub especially for 170ml worth. But I like this. It's just so refreshing and the scrub is strong but not painful. Even using this with a wet skin, I still can get a good scrubbing. It lathers on well and the best feeling is after when my skin feels so smooth. It's just so worth it. I don't use a lot of it and I manage to get a good amount of skin covered. So a little is all you need for every wash. 

The sample is nice coz it's a pyramid. It's easy to squeeze out all the product. This product is very drying. It dried up my face. So I feel this is better if you use a full skincare routine. At least it won't dry out the skin. At least this lather up well. So it wasn't a waste. 

If you love the scent of gardenia, you will love this. It's just so flowery. I'm not one who love the scent of flowers, but it's nice. Cause it has this After scent of a slight rose. It's like walking into a garden passing by a few different flowers. The scents will overpower you when you take a sniff. But it's gone when you don't smell it close. It's the kind of perfume that doesn't really drag and leave a footprint behind.  Regardless still a nice perfume even though I wouldn't buy the full size of this. It's just a nice change from the usual fruity scents I prefer and all the roses scent I tend to have. 

I don't really like the bottle cause it's a bit hard to press. I guess the point is to actually just let it drip. But I can't stand it. I have to transfer this into a spray bottle and it's annoying to have to let the liquid out of this bottle.  Anyway, the product is fine. It's slightly minty but not too strong. Whether it helps in hair care I do not really see it. But I do enjoy using it cause it just makes my head rather fresh. So it's a nice feeling. 

There are 2 of these. One is a clear oil one is shimmery. The shimmer one is just so pretty. Good for a night out. Or even in the morning. It just makes your skin glow. The plain one though smells really really good. The oil just so subtle it's really nice to apply. Cause it easily sink into the skin. But it just leaves you with a slight sheen. So it helps with any dry patches. This will be good for holidays. You can apply to your hair, face and body. One product that's it. It's also 50ml, but made of glass. Not those fragile kind, but still glass. The shimmery one is 10ml so not bad for a small bottle.  Oh well, I love love the scent. I hope they make a home spray out of this. A multi purpose spray. For home, hair and body. It's will be so useful. 

I just want to put this down somewhere. Cause I really like this. It's just so fresh and really good. It's an aerosol spray which is easy to use. What I really like though is that the cap, you can easily lock it. So you can twist it open or close. Which is really good for traveling. There is no need for a cap which can be troublesome. Anyway, this is the 150ml one. It's the only size I saw. But maybe I wasn't looking hard enough, cause a travel size of this will be perfect. 

Easy to apply Can be smudged Twistable The beauty of this product. It's really fast to apply your brows using this. You basically just draw on your brows. It's thick and so easily transferred that it takes no time at all. But you can touch your brows after as it is as easily to remove the product.  Medium brown doesnt suit me at all. It feels more khaki instead of brown. So the shade is all wrong. If not this will be the perfect product for the morning when you just have no time at all to apply your makeup. 

Love stippling brush. This one is quite small. It's a bit dense. I like it enough for buffing. It won't pick up a lot of product. So it's good for those super pigmented products. It will pick the right amount. So yah, that's pretty much it. 

There's something beautiful about orange flame red with glitter. This can appear reddish, orange or pink. It's quite a pretty shade. I like that it looks like a gloss when it's on the lips but it's not thick like one. It's also easy to apply cause it's a pencil. But having to sharpen this is a big turn off. The crayon glides on easily. In fact it's rather soft. But. This is quite sticky. I guess it's good cause it sort of last longer than what is expected. It's sticky on the lips too. Wait about 3 minutes and it's alright. It still slightly sticky but not irritating. Sonits rather nice in the end. 

This is a thick moisturiser. It's more for anyone with dry skin. I only managed to use it with heavy mattifying products over it. I find that it's alright as long as I don't stay directly under the sun. If not, the heat tend to melt everything away making my face super oily. This will not be my choice of moisturizer, but I find that this is all I have at home. In the end, it's alright as I just have to use a little at a time. 

Dull skin? You'll need this. It's a very fruity mask. Smells just like nectarine, mandarins. It feels like you are putting fruit pulps on your face. This is 100ml, so you use this daily also takes time to hit pan. I like it enough but I still prefer their rose mask . I somehow feel that this is better for dry skin. Like if you need an extra boost of moisture, this is the mask you apply. Cause after every use, my face just gets oily.  You are suppose to use this 2-3 times a week for 10 minutes. And it also acts as a scrub as you are suppose to scrub your face with this and leave on for the duration. Then you can wash off with warm water and clothes or with cotton pads. So it's actually quite convinient. 

This has quite a synthetic scent. It's nice, but after a second it turn quite chemical. I like it enough for colored hair. It feels like it protects the hair color. Plus, this doesn't make my hair oily. It doesn't exactly dry them. But I do have to use conditioner after. So I like it enough.  When I used to dye my hair, it was a pain to keep my hair tame and proper. It either gets really oily or that the ends off my hair get really dry. This time round, I don't hate my due hair much. I guess cause this shampoo help with that. I would repurchase the full size when I dye my hair again. 

I guess, this is meant to be for anyone with super sensitive skin. But I find that using this, some part of my face will be super sensitive to it. It's like I will feel the burn. It can't be that I'm allergic to the hypoallergenic stuff. Anyhow, it's a good sheet. It removes makeup quite well. I don't mind it as much, but I wouldn't repurchase this. 

Love tiny stuff. I always wanted to try this. And now I have. It's a good cream based highlighter. It's not so much a cream, it just more of an easy to use stick like highlight. You can easily wipe it away and be left with glitters or smudge it gently for a nice shine.  Watt's Up is a golden highlighter and it's pretty on tan skin. It's also a good colour on fair skin cause the colour does show but it's not overpowering. It's a good all rounder highlighter. Plus this is the small size so the product come out in a tiny streak. So you won't be applying a lot if you just use one swipe. Which is more than enough to give you that shine. 

This is quite a nice flowery cleanser. It's a light scent that doesn't extend out of the shower. But it's still quite good. I enjoy using it but I wouldn't buy a full size of this. It's a waste of cleanser I feel. Cause it's rather liquid like. So a lot will be used up fast. 

  Hot pink! It's been awhile. I like this. The first one I tried was quite a disaster as the it just come out goopy. This one is smooth and pigmented. I don't really dare to use hot pink but it's a nice change from red. The colour is more on the red also. Maybe not so much as a change but a variation. I don't really use bright colours as I prefer nudes and mauves. But it's just fun to play around with shades.  Anyway this is suppose to be a matte finish, but it doesn't finish as matte on the lips. I guess it will eventually settle as matte, cause it does when it is swatch, but I just don't really see it.  Anyway, it's comfortable on the lips and the application is fine. I need to use a mirror to apply this, but no problem there. It's just a nice lip product. Doesn't last forever, but it leaves a nice stain to make it an event worthy product. Then again it doesn't claim that it does. So no problem there. 

This is such a cute item. But it's just so troublesome to apply. Cause you have to one by one fit on the fingers. Once you have it on, you can hardly do much. Cause the wrap is wet inside out. So that's it. For a few minutes, you will be helpless. I also do not like that this is quite sticky. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone. 

Spot treatments are either affordable or quite ex. This one cost me £24 for 10ml. Which is on the pricier side. But I guess, it's alright cause this probably last forever. It's a nude tone cream but applied clear.  Does this work? Well, I mean it does work alright. It doesn't magically disappear. But, it does help reducing the size of the spots. It kind of freeze the spots and help to reduce the appearance of it. Eventually it will be gone, but it takes a few days.  So how I use this is when I see a tiny spot going to emerge, I will quickly dab this on. That way, I prevent it before it pop out. It helps if I happen to spot the spots early. If not, then it's just a way to control the spots from growing even bigger. So I guess it's not bad. Not magical, but still works. 

This is a nice tiny trio of eyeshadows. I wish that they are just metal pan. But I understand not everyone has a z palette or something. So the tiny twistable container is fine I guess. Will be better if it pop up instead though. Cause it's easy to lose the cover if it is removeable.  The colours are nice. Movie Popcorn a shimmer yellow beige. It appears more white though. Be on the A-list is a shimmer taupe brown. It's brown but on the lighter shade of brown. I guess a nuetral. It bag is a shimmer copper. All shades are pretty and very pigmented. It's good on its own and can be worn as a trio of colours. They are good shadows and a great way to try out Sephora's own shadows without buying them.  Now I have to decide to remove them into a z or leave them on their own. 

The mask has this scent quite medicine like. After you get used to it, it's quite alright. I like that it's very calming on the skin. This mask is to address troubled complex - conceals and cleans blemish prone skin. I just like that it's very soothing on my skin. So it's a mask I look forward to using. I just know that this can't go wrong. Plus the ultra fine microfibre mask fits nicely. It just cling onto the skin. It's cooling to use under aircon. But it's just the right temperature. Love it.

This is a mineral powder that is quite shimmery in a good way. It just gives you a healthy glow to the skin. It's the perfect powder for summer. Preferable for anyone with normal skin. My oily skin can get away with this for maybe about 4-5hours. I still like it cause the shade I have Natural Beige is quite a good colour on me. So it just gives me a very healthy glow.  The attachment brush is alright. It's short and quite puffy. It's good for buffing around. It's also nice for traveling, cause you don't need to bring an extra brush. But this is not user friendly when you go out and use it in public toilet. Too messy and I prefer a clean counter area.  I still prefer solid pressed powder as compare to loose powder, but I know loose is supposedly better. I just can't find myself loving them as much. Oh well, maybe once I actually get a proper makeup table, then I will actually enjoy using loose powder. For now, this is only for when I look quite sick, and want to ...

I heard somewhere that Dose of Colors has the best liquid lipstick as it's one of the most nondrying product out there. Well, I don't think it's true. I only try one, but it's not exactly the most comfortable one I've tried. I can just slightly feel the product on my lips. So it's not that nice. While it's very pigmented, the colours does show the lines of the lips.  The shade I have is Bare With Me which is a nice nude shade slightly on the pink side. It suits me just fine. The packaging is also quite cute. A bit chubby. The wand is nice. You can get away with just one coat, so no need to double dip. I like it enough, but just not something I will choose first in my collection.  I also bought it on sale at $20.10. So it's mid range. But yah, I wouldn't buy it again. 

I like these shower gels. They comes in 75ml, instead of the usual 50ml travel size. Anyway these travel size ones is $8 per bottle at Sephora.  I have the Clean On Me Shower Gel and Clean Girls Body Wash. I like them enough. They're moisturizing and lather on well. The scents are alright too. I just still prefer the original scent. 

A travelsize super volume mascara. I like this. It's not waterproof but it doesn't smudge. It is easy to remove with a simple makeup wipe. It slightly curl the lashes. It is black, so darken the lashes making them slightly more prominent. But it's not overly dramatic which is how I like it. I don't see how this lengthen the lashes, but I guess if your lashes are short, this mascara can be considered as such. But for normal length lashes, it don't show up extra. So ya, it's good for daily, and can be worn for a night out too.
