Africa Shea Butter & Sesame Oil Body Balm and Japan Yuzu & Rice Body Milk

1.Africa Shea Butter & Sesame oil Body Balm (from left) - very good body balm, soft and nice to use. My skin absorbs it very quickly so no problem to put on your clothes just after using it. I have normal type of skin when it comes to my body. Smells very nice but not to heavy. I love the creamy texture, looks lovely in your bathroom and it's a great gift for friends and family.Overall very good product and will definitely buy it again.

2.Japan Yuzu & Rice Body Milk - spray-on type of body milk. I bought it as I have had another spray-on type moisturiser before. And unfortunately this one is a bit of a disappointment. I didn't use to the smell even tho was not so bad in the shop. Not the best one if you have very dry skin as it doesn't moisturise your skin very well (maybe due to very light/liquid formula). It was ok as I have got normal skin but wouldn't recommend for somebody with very dry. Maybe would be better for summer as it is very light but for winter we need something heavier as the cold weather can dry up your skin very quickly.

Estee Lauder Double Wear Light

 



I have got combination to oily skin.Nightmare especially in a summer. Shiny T-zone,open pores. I don't have a lot of spots or scars to cover. I also don't use any concealer. If I want to cover something I just use more Double Wear in the area. It doesn't stay up to 15 hours on my skin but even 5-7 hours with my oily skin is perfect for me. I have to say it is the best foundation I have ever used and I used a lot. My skin is quite fair so I use Intensity 2.0 which is just ideal for my skin colour. Instead of buying foundation+concealer you can just layer it up with your brush or just finger wherever you have something to cover.Brilliant.Love it.

L'Oréal Paris Voluminous Mascara 5 Carbon Black Mascara

 



I really like L'Oreal and this mascara is not bad. It's not the best I have ever used but for the price it does the job. First of all it makes your lashes look much thicker and longer. You can apply up to three coats if you wish and it still looks nice with no clumps. It's a very very black mascara so quite hard to remove as it does leave some black stains under your eyes so you have to use more eye make-up remover or wipes. After a long day I also noticed some black marks underneath my eyes in out corners but you have to remember I have got oily to combination skin so my make-up doesn't stay in place the whole day. Anyway I really wanted to try this mascara and apart from two minuses (black marks and hard to remove) it is a really good mascara for a good price especially if you are looking for a really really black mascara.

Batiste Dry Shampoo

There are some stuff we cannot live without. Am I right? :-) Like mascaras, foundations favourite perfumes. Well I cannot live without dry shampoos. I have got thick straight hair and have to wash them everyday or every second day which is very hard to maintain as you are always in a rush, want to have a longer lie in the morning or just cannot be bothered to wash and style your hair (one of those days :-). That's what we have a dry shampoo for. I have tired a lots of them but always come back to Batiste. I know they leave that white/grey dust on your hair but you just have to brush it out properly. Does take a minute or two. I have tried Batiste Coloured Dry Shampoo (first on your left) for black hair but cannot really see a much difference between the normal ones. They still leave a bit of that white colour on your hair. My favourite one is Big and Bouncy XXL volume (second from your left) it can give you the biggest volume and big hair ever even if you have got thick and flat hair like me and it last long. I cannot live without it. If you want to go for a scent, Diva is quite nice and makes your hair smell really fresh.

Some people say you shouldn't really wash your hair every day as they may start to fall out or become weaker. But how can you possibly go out with a greasy flat horrible looking hair. Dry shampoo is the best answer. Don't spray it from a short distance, shake your bottle before use and remember to brush it out. I love it and since I don't wash my hair every single day I swear they look healthier and stopped falling out so much.

White Musk Libertine Eau De Toilette and White Musk Libertine Body Wash

If you like heavy perfume like me,you have to try it. Of course original White Musk is even too heavy for me but this light version is very nice (I think it was made for a younger generation :-). First of all it stays forever,especially on your hair (I love to use perfume on my hair but be careful if you have got dry hair as every perfume contains alcohol). Nice little bottle very handy to carry with you. Body wash is just like a ordinary shower gel and it doesn't stay as long as Eau De Toilette but I wanted to have a set.When I was buying it The Body Shop had a 30% off offer on all Libertine products so I didn't pay a lot.Overall very good product for a good price and for everyday use.
