September Favourites

(coloured text are links to original reviews) Aussie 3 Minute Miracle Reconstructor Deep Conditioner I just did a review about it in my last post, so I keep it short. It turns out the hype around it is justified. It makes my hair feel quite silky and it's moisturising enough to keep my ends in shape. The bubble gums scent is fantastic as...

Worth the Hype? Aussie and Macadamia

Aussie 3 Minute Miracle Reconstructor Deep Conditioner and Macadamia Natural Oil Deep Repair mask are both highly recommended by so many. As a hair care junkie, I first became familiar with the famous Aussie 3 Minute Miracle through Makeup Alley, where it's been holding an impressive total score for ages. Macadamia became popular in the past couple of years and it's a favourite...

Coral Nail Polishes

Something for the nail polish lovers today - a comparison of three coral shades: Bourjois 10 Days in 25, Essie Cute as a Button and Catrice 20 Meet me at Coral Island.

The...

Product of the Week #14

It seems that Balea has a knack for making delicious smelling shower gels. On my recent trip to DM, after weeks of searching, I finally came across Balea Dusche & Creme Cocos & Nectarine shower gel and let me tell you, it smells divine. Remember those Hubba Bubba peach favoured chewing gums (which I believe are unfortunately discontinued, but they were my favourite...

Essence Long Lasting Lipsticks

It took a while, but Essence finally released a regular lipstick range. So far they only had lipsticks that are more of a hybrid between a lip balm and a lipstick. However, they had a few proper lipsticks in their trend editions, like the two shades in Home, Sweet Home TE which were fantastic quality. So I was excited to see a whole...

Preview: Essence Long Lasting Lipsticks

Just a quick preview of the long lasting lipsticks that were launched this week here. I got them today and I've only taken basic pictures with no swatches yet, but I'll try to post a full review soon. I still need to test them thoroughly, but I did try the red one today and it's not too shabby for 2.49€. I have three...
