Sorry about the lack of posts this week, but I had a bit of writers block over the past couple of days! haha.
But, this morning I ran out of my favourite foundation, and it gave me an idea for a post - products I have used up over the past couple of months. I have seven products to talk about today, and it's pretty even in terms of beauty/skin and body care.
So, here we go..
| (I forgot to include the final product I'll be talking about, sorry!) |
- Garnier Mineral InvisiCalm roll on deodorant - RRP $3.50 - This product is designed to calm and nourish the skin after shaving/waxing etc, and contains no alcohol or parabens. I really liked this product, and it worked well to stop perspiration throughout the day. It didn't however live up to it's "48 hour protection" claim, as I did feel the need to reapply later in the day. I did find that it calmed my skin after shaving, and there was none of the usual irritation that I experience after hair removal. Be warned, though, the formula is quite wet, which takes a bit of getting used to; and you can feel it on your skin for a little while after application.
- Cetaphil Daily Advance Ultra-Hydrating Lotion (sample size shown) - RRP $8.99 for 85g - This moisturiser was okay, but I did find it made my skin a little oilier than usual. It definitely added a dewy effect when used under my foundation. I preferred to use in on my body rather than my face because of the oiliness it caused- it wasn't unbearable though. I'm glad I got the sample size rather than the full size, because it takes FOREVER to use up! haha. I also found that it was hard to squeeze out a small amount because it is quite a thin formula; I always ended up getting too much out of the tube. I don't think I'll repurchase it simply because I have other moisturisers that I prefer, and because I don't need any excess dewiness coming into the warmer months.
- Bourjois 1-2-3 Perfect Foundation in 52 Vanilla - RRP $32 - This is my HOLY GRAIL foundation. I have used this since the start of the year, and I love it! It's seriously worth the investment! I think I am going to do an indepth review of this, so I'm not going to say much more in this post. Stay tuned!!
- La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo Corrective and Unclogging Anti-Imperfection Care - I couldn't find the RRP! Sorry! (sample size shown) - This product was just 'meh' for me. It didn't really work that well. I didn't see a difference in my pores or skintone when I used this.
- Parafait Coconut Cherry Hand Cream - I couldn't find a RRP price for this either, but I know it's available at some Target Stores (in AUS) - I adore this hand cream. This is the second tube I have been through, and I love it! The smell is just heavenly, and it moisturises like a dream. It's not greasy at all, and it soaks into the skin quite well. It leaves my hands feeling soft and nourished, which is just bloody awesome. I'll definitely get this one again!
- Covergirl Clump Crusher Mascara - RRP $17.95 - I already talked about this in my September Favourites video, so check that out if you want to know more :)
- Elf Eyelid Primer - I got mine from Amazon for $1, but it's available on the Elf AUS website for $2! - I'm so sad that this finally ran out! I loved this primer, and for one buck you can't really go wrong. My eyeshadows lasted all day, and my lids never got oily. It also cancelled out any redness or discolouration I had on my lids, so I basically had a clean slate to work with. I would recommend this product to everyone! Go and try it! :)
That's all from me today, I hope you enjoyed reading through the products I've used up over the past couple of months.
Don't forget to let me know what you think of these products, and tell me what empties you have this month!
Until next time,
Shelley xx
