Products I've Used Up - The Body Shop

I've been using The Body Shop product since my teenage years and I still loving it until now. I like to try varies of products and scents, so here are the products that I purchase and finish up this year. I think I had pretty much product in a year, hahaha..

1. Fuji Green Tea 24 Hour Body Butter

I love the scent of this body butter, it makes me feel very relax and moisturised. Usually I use it before I go to sleep so I'll wake up with a nice soft skin on the next morning.

2. Amazonian Wild Lily Body Lotion

This travel size lotion has a nice floral scent that suits for the spring season. Also it has a perfect size to fit into my bag, so my skin will be moisturise all day long.

3. Loose Powder no 3

I like to use loose powder on my face because it won't clog on my pores and makes me breakout. Actually this shade is darker than my actual skin tone but from last mid year until the beginning of this year I had tan on my skin because I had two beach holiday in a row. After my skin gets lighter, I use this shade on the perimeter of my face, like for shading.

4. Seaweed Mattifying Day Cream 

This day cream really does it's job on mattify the skin. It has a gel texture, although it says 'cream', which is nice for an oily skin like mine. I finished this product but I won't purchased it again because I feel like it clogs my pores.

 5. Frosted Cranberry Shower Gel

I bought this shower gel on last year Christmas and I think it really smells like Christmas. I bought it in small red box set, it has this shower gel, bath lily, a heart soap bar, a body butter and a lip balm. This year they sell this cranberry scent again and I bought their sugar scrub.

6. Vineyard Peach Shower Gel 

I recall I bought this shower gel on the beginning of this year because I think it smells very energising and very spring/summer appropriate. I like to use it for my morning shower to kick start my day with its smell.

7. Amazonian Wild Lily Shower Gel

Like the body lotion I bought it because of its smell. I think I use a lot of shower gel in a year, because while I use this shower gel and the other two shower gel above, I also use another two shower gel (Atlas Rose and Fuji Green Tea) and used up the Frosted Cranberry soap bar.

8. Tea Tree Oil 

This stuff is amazing! I am very agree with The Body Shop when they says it is their best product of the year. If I had a pimple pop on my face, after I clean my face I'll put this on and on the next day it will reduce the redness and the size of it. And also this little bottle last for a long time.

9. Seaweed Clarifying Toner

Usually I use a toner from the aesthetician near I live, but when I used it up, I thought I would try another toner that has less chemical in it. Overall I think it is a nice toner for my combination/oily skin, but I don't really impress with it so currently I try another toner for my face.

So that is all the used up products from The Body Shop that I use in this year. I always collect the empty product because for Body Shop members, we can get points when we give back those empty product to The Body Shop stores. Have a benefits for ourselves and also protects the nature. 

Christmas Haul

It's nearly Christmas and I'm doing some shopping to get stuff for my Christmas celebration. Mostly are skincare and beauty products, but I also have some fashion items. Also I do this haul in early December so there are some of the things that has been featured in the previous blogposts. 

My first destination is Sephora, I buy myself some products that I've run out. I bought an eyeshadow primer and lipstick from Too Faced and a mascara from Lancome. I bought my gel liner from Bobbi Brown store and the Hourglass blush is from my trusty online shop called Mousseux Galerie.

Next destination is The Body Shop store because they sell Christmassy scent in this time of year. I bought a Small Sugar Plum Gift Set, a Cranberry Body Scrub, and Fuji Green Tea Gift Cube.

I then went to Sogo (dept store) to buy my haircare from Phyto and try new skincare line called Jurlique. 

Hair Care and Skin Care 

I've read good reviews about this skincare product, called Jurlique, and try the sample product, and I decided to try it. I'll have another blog post about my skincare and review about this product. 

For fashion items, mostly I bought it from H&M, I think they make a really good deal. I bought a plaid shirt, dress, necklace, earrings and bracelets.

So that's all my Christmas/ End of Year haul!  

My Everyday Make Up

I wanted to share my everyday make up routine, which include gold eyes and very light base on the skin. I’ve done my skin care routine, at least 10 minutes before I’m doing my make up, for it to sink into my skin.

To start off I prime my lid with Too Faced Shadow Insurance because I have an oily lid.

I use Shiseido Eyebrow Styling Compact to fill my sparse brow and frame my eyes, so it will be easier when applying the shadows.

For eye shadows, I’m using Urban Decay Naked 2 palette. I use the color Half Baked all over my lid. On the crease of my eyes I’m using Snakebite and to further enhance the crease I’m using Busted on my outer corner.

Then I lined and tight line my eyes using Bobbi Brown Long - Wear Gel Eyeliner in Black Ink, because it doesn’t smudge on my eyes.

Next, I prime my lashes using Lancome Cils Booster, and while waiting for it to dry, I mix two concealer to conceal my under eye circle.

The concealers I use are Em the Great Cover Up concealer in Fair Neutral and Make Up For Ever Full Cover concealer in no. 6.

Come back to my lashes, I use Lancome Grandiose smudge proof mascara and curl the lashes using Panasonic Eyelash Curler to curl the lashes all day long.

So that’s eyes done. Move on to my face, on daily basis I use The Body Shop Loose Face Powder in no.2 all over my face.

For blush I use Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush in Mood Exposure.

To finish my make up, I put on Too Faced La Crème Lipstick in Spice Spice Baby.

That is it for my Everyday Make Up Routine. I hope you find it helpful, thank you for reading, have a nice week ahead :)

November Favorites

            Let’s start with skincare! I love that this makeup remover can easily remove waterproof makeup and doesn’t stink my eyes, since I have a very sensitive skin. 

Clarins Instant Eye Make-up Remover 

            Move on to makeup, Too Faced - Chocolate Bar palette has been my go to palette in this month, since  this palette provides neutral to autumn color. It has a sweet chocolaty smells because it is infuse with 100% cocoa powder. And the shadows are very pigmented, buttery and easy to blend.

My favorite color in this palette probably the Marzipan, it is a beautiful champagne color for all over lid that suits for an everyday makeup. For blending or transition shade, my favorite is Milk Chocolate, a cool light brown colour. And for crease, this is where the autumny colour involves, I use Cherry Cordial, a dark red wine colour.

            Dark berry lips, what else to describe my love to autumnal makeup. This Revlon lipstick feels very comfortable to wear all day long, but needs some touch up because of its creamy formula.

Revlon Ultra HD Lipstick – Iris

            Panasonic Eyelash Curler curls my lashes just in seconds and it holds the curls for a whole day, of course supported by the right mascara.

            I always love roses, especially in perfume or body product. This Yves Rocher– Moment de Bonheur perfume has a woody rosy scent that makes you feel calm and relax throughout the day.

            This limited edition Starbucks cards has a long and epic story to it, probably I’ll write it in another blog post. I put it in this monthly favorite because I often go to Starbucks this month and I love these cards. It has a leaf shape to it, not like the usual rectangular shape cards, and of course the colors!

That's all my favorites in November, wishing you a jolly month ahead.

Love,
