Hey Readers,
I hope this post finds you well. I know this post will go up while the festive season is in full swing but my Maslow and Co Global box arrived during the week and I was so excited to see this one!! Not only have Maslow and Co shopped the best of beauty and skin care from all over the globe (UK, USA, Korea, New Zealand and Australia) for this box they also have included not one, not two but THREE makeup items!!!! So without too much more rambling lets get started......
Zelens Transformer Instant Renewal Mask received the travel size 15ml
All the way from the UK this mask as the name suggests will transform your complexion to a firmer more refined state in 15 minutes all using plant based ingredients. Actually interested to try this is a wash off mask which I find less scary to use than sheet masks interested to see the results.
Manna Kadar Beauty Day Dream Palette received one
USA all the way with this beauty brand!! I was so excited to open this!! This is an all in one palette that looks like its perfect for gals like me that are on the go. Sporting 6 eye shadows both matte and shimmer, bronzer blush and highlight, Just add foundation really!! While I have not swatched yet I am thinking that pigmentation won't be a problem. I love that its neutral perfect for everyday. Cannot wait to try!!
Benefit Hoola Bronzer received a 3g deluxe travel size
WOW is all I can say for this product!! Maslow and Co must have read my mind, as this Christmas was finally going to buy this bronzer and see what the hype is all about. I have seen so many reviews raving about this I just finally wanted to actually try for myself. Will have to try see what its like and may have to buy the full size!!!
Tony Moly Petite Bunny Gloss Bar received one in the shade 02
This is the third and final makeup item for the box and even though I am not a big lip gloss I am still excited to see this. The packaging alone is so cute. The gloss itself it quite smooth there is only a small amount of tint to it but on the lips it seems quite moisturising and its not sticky. So far so good.
Wyte Luxe Whitening Applicator received a full size 5ml
This teeth whitener pen is from the Aussie brand Wyte. This gel in a pen this has a brush applicator that allows easy application to the teeth to make them brighter and whiter. Don't currently use any whitening products so interested to try!!
Beenigma Face cream received a 5ml deluxe travel size
Ok so this cream from New Zealand uses the sting from bees and combines it with Manuka Honey, Kawakana and Kiwifruit to produce a face cream that promotes the production of Collagen in the skin to both plump and smooth, whilst promoting healing to any problem areas. Not too sure about this one I have to say its almost on par with the snail face mask we got in the Korean box I want to see what its like but unsure if I am game enough to try!! We will see...
Neogen Bio Peel Gauze in Wine and Lemon received one of each.
I first thought these where face masks but after reading the booklet with the box I soon came to learn that this product is ahead of its game in the Korean market. Offering the best of both worlds when it comes to face exfoliation and peels. These are face pads infused to act both as a chemical peel but also have a textured side which allows for a mechanical peel as well. Something a little different interested to try!!
So that ends Maslow and Co Global box, I am really impressed by this box. I have received so many interesting products over the year and I am really interested to see what the next year holds. As I am posting this while the festive season is in full swing. I hope you all are having a wonderful time and that all the days are filled with fun, family, laughter and good cheer.
Have a very Merry Christmas and until next time happy reading and happy shopping.
Everlynne!!
Hey Readers,
I hope this post finds you well. It has been over a month since my last post I apologise but it the end of the year is turning out to be a little bit bumpy so while my intention has been to post regularly, I haven't been able to sit down at the computer and really focus on my blog. I am sorry if this reads like I am constantly making excuses for my lack of posting this year but my family has really needed me and I am hoping that things get smooth again soon.
So onto this post Empties!! I have finished a lot of products in the last couple of months and as the bag that they are stored in is getting full I thought it was time I finally talked about them!! Best part is most of them a Hits!! so lets get to it!!
Hits
Formula 10.0.6 Three Times Sublime 100ml
This is another repurchase product that I have spoken about a few times before!! (mini review here) Its just such a great in shower multitasker and I love the results it gives my skin.
Ponds Clear Balance Oil Control Skin Mattifying Facial Foam
Earlier this year I started changing up my skin care in order to help reduce the oiliness in my T zone at bay. While I love my combination skin it has its trying moments particuarly when your trying to keep foundation on your face all day!!! This definetly has helped improve the situation its a great creamy cleanser that also contains small exfoliating beads, its not to thick it foams well and washes off without leaving a residue.
Bioderma Sebium Mat Moisturising Mattifying Fluid
This was another product that I bought when I changed up my skin care at the time I had also been looking for a moisturiser that provided hydration without being really heavy. This is the perfect combination. This moisturiser has a gel like consistency its cooling on the skin and absorbs almost instantly. light on the skin and leaves no residue and perfect under makeup!!
Avene Cleance Mat Mattifying Emulsion
This was a purchase from one of the 40% off skincare at Priceline sales and it recently featured in my 13 by Halloween Project Pan. Its been a favourite for a while, keep my skin hydrated and oiliness at bay, really light on the skin although I do find takes a little bit to sink in sometimes however its still great under makeup. Due to price point though I do only really repurchase when priceline has their 40% off sales!!
Dirty Works All of a Lather Body Wash
I bought this in a gift pack of Dirty works products as I wanted to try a few products from the range this was one of the first that I tried and I already purchased a full size. It not only cleans well but it also has a great scent.
Milk Body Wash Rosemary Mint Aroma
I purchased this when Ozsale where having a two for one sale on all Milk products. I acctually only wanted the beauty wipes but I was needing to spend a few more dollars in order to get free shipping!! Turns out its a great body wash. Not only does it smell amazing it foams and cleans well its gentle on the skin too.
OGX Cherry Blossom Shampoo
I am still loving this brand of shampoo it just washes my hair so well and doesn't leave it unmanagable once dry while I do still prefer the coconut milk version (I know something coconut who would have thunk it!!) I picked this up simply for the scent it smells like raspberry cordial its really sweet but I have loved it and now its finished I will miss it :(
Covergirl Ready Set Gorgeous Foundation
Such a great foundation and I think this may be my fourth tube. Its a medium to full coverage (buildable), goes on easily and blends well. Stays all day never had it look cakey or discolour on my skin.
Loreal Infallible 24hr Matte
Before now I never would have said that paying $30 for a loreal foundation would be worth it, but this foundation has changed that. Such an amazing formula particuarly for a high coverage foundation usually I have to work hard to have this type of foundation blend well without looking like a mask this goes on smooth and blends seamlessly. It also lasts all day (by all day I mean 8-12 hours of wear not 24!!!) and it has never turned orange or reacted with my oily T zone. I also love that it comes in a tube so you are able to dispense the perfect amount easily.
Rimmel #Insta Flawless
I still cannot work out how this product does what it does but it does it and I love the results. I use this generally under foundation I find it just gives something to the finish of
your chosen base that I really cannot put my finger on. It just lifts the look of your skin but its not glittery or shiny at all I really enjoy using this one!!
Maybelline Dark Circle Eraser in Medium
I have loved this for the longest time and I think this is my second or third tube!! As the name suggests perfect for concealing dark circles but I have also used it as a general concealer its perfect for redness as well. I love that its so creamy and it blends so easily!!
e.l.f Makeup Mist and Set
This may not look like much judging by the packaging and the price but this makeup mist and set really does the job. It goes on evenly and dries quite quickly and it really does help makeup to last all day I have repurchased although I am currently trying out a few different brands and at this point they don't quite compare!!
Milk and Co Beauty Wipes 25 wipes
I have spoken about these a fair bit on this blog (Milk&Co Beauty Wipes) so I won't go on and on but overall I would like to say I still really enjoy these, they take off all makeup no matter how light or heavy and they are great for when you are too tired to take you make up off after a fun night out!!
Daiso Makeup Brush Cleaner 150ml
Another repurchase and repurchase that once again I have raved about before but at the end of the day this stuff is good!!!! It not only gets makeup out of brushes but it does it quickly and easily no hard scrubbing required!!
Misses
Rexona Motion Sense Shower Fresh Antiperspirant
Ok so the deodorant itself does the job so the reason I am calling this a miss is that whatever they put in this as a scent/propellant has quite a sharp smell and every time I would spray I would sneeze or my nose would feel irritated afterwards and this doesn't happen with any of the other scents in this same range!!
Plackers Hi Performance Dental Flossers
While I loved the Fresh Mint version of these the regular just aren't the same. Not only do I prefer the mint flavour to the others. I also have found that the floss doesn't seem as strong as the mint version they still do and ok job but not as effectively as the others
Maybelline 24 hr Color Tattoo Metal
This is probably more of a fail on my behalf than the products but at the end of the day I haven't really owned it for that long so I am calling it a Miss. This colour tatoo sadly is not empty however its dried up so much that I can no longer use it. In a way I guess I am more disappointed with myself that I didn't get more use out of this however I used it everyday for a while there and just put in in my draw collection to rotate through a few items and I come back to it pretty much dried out!!!
So that ends this post of Empties Hits and Misses. Its nice to have more hits than misses, I really have enjoyed writing this post so I hope you enjoyed reading it!!! Enjoy the festive season and until next post Happy reading and Happy shopping!!!
