Project Finish it Up: November 2011
Thursday, December 08, 2011I know I haven't been posting regularly lately.
The thing is - I have been spending time with my family and meeting my friends almost everyday till late. Not to mention attending events. Plus, I'm someone whom needs a bit of alone time everyday. But trust me that I haven't forgotten you girls because here I am squeezing every bit of time to put together this post for you. Most people would probably think that it doesn't take any longer than a few minutes to do up a post, but trust me, it isn't. You see, I have to take pictures, resize them and watermark them and then I have to think about the content and the way to phrase them and last but not least, proof-reading.
Only managed to finish using 4 products in the month of November, not to mention that one is of sample size! :X
Maybe I should be more disciplined and try to finish more products in December. I really hope to finish at least one of my makeup products since I have NEVER ever finish a makeup product before.
1. Amethystory Mineral Bubble Face Wash
Overall Rating: ★★★★☆
I have reviewed this face wash before, you can read my thoughts here, http://sweetestsins.blogspot.com/2011/10/amethystory-mineral-aqua-gel-mineral.html.
Repurchase: Maybe
2. Juju AquaMoist Whitening Gel Cream
Whitening: ★★★☆☆
Moisturizing: ★★★★☆
Oil-free: ★★★★★
Overall Rating: ★★★★☆
I picked up this product over at Watsons after reading about it on Andy Lee's blog. As most of you would know by now that I'm really into whitening products because I want to be fairer badly. On top of that, it doesn't contains alcohol, coloring, fragrance, mineral oil or animal deviant ingredients.
I usually apply this at night after I double cleanse my face and tone my face so that I will wake up to softer and brighter skin. The consistency of Juju AquaMoist Whitening Gel Cream feels similar to that of sleeping masks/packs except that its a bit lighter.
The only gripe that I have about this product is that the texture can be rather sticky initially and it takes some time to get used to that.
Repurchase: Yes
3. Sekkisei Supreme Washing Cream
Fragrance: ★★☆☆☆
Moisturizing: ★★★☆☆
Ability to foam: ★★★★☆
Overall Rating: ★★★☆☆
This sample-sized cream cleanser was given to me by Jess.
Although it foams rather well when used with a face wash net, but I have my reservations for this cleanser as I really don't like the scent of it and the fact that it does make my skin feel tight after cleansing.
Repurchase: No
4. Crabtree & Evelyn La Source Relaxing Body Wash
Moisturizing: ★★★★☆
Relaxing: ★★★★★
Affordability: ★★★☆☆
Overall Rating: ★★★★☆
FYI, this was a gift from my Aunt.
At USD$20 for a bottle, its way out of my budget for a bottle of body wash, especially now that I am contributing to Singapore's unemployment rate. Apart from the hefty price tag that it comes with (for a bottle of body wash), its everything you want your body wash to be and something that you would want to come home to - especially after a long day at work or listening to monotonous lectures and squeezing with other commuters on public transport.
Repurchase: Yes if I have that spare cash
I hope you like this post. Thanks for reading.
Love,
Patricia
