Garnier - Miracle Wake Up Cream

I liked the night cream from this range, so I thought I'd try the day version.
I regret this decision.

It is tinted (which I guess is ok) which I guess is the 'de-tiring' effect.
It smells like mayonnaise with a tail note of overripe bananas.

It is difficult to get the thickness right. Too thick and it pills during the day, which is not a good look.
But it is quite a thick cream.

I think it wants to make your face matte, but it just makes my skin look dry and haggard. 
It really is not moisturising at all.

I will use the rest of it (probably) but only on days where I don't need my skin to breathe and sweat, not on a day over 15C.
So winter grocery shopping.

Price: 4/5 ($19.95 for 50mL)
Scent: 1.5/5
Effectiveness: 1/5 

Natural Glamour - 2Go - Winter - Auto Bronzing Brush

This is such a cool idea, the bronzer should come through the brush and out for application, no opening of containers required!

To get the powder out, you expand the brush fully, to stop the flow you shrink the brush.

And even though it is quite dark (for me) in the tube, it blends so well!

It is also SPF 12 (15 for newer formula).

Price: 2/5 (*** Probably about $40, if you know the true price please comment below!)
Scent: 2.5/5 (no real scent)
Effectiveness: 5/5

Lacura - Renovage - Rejuvenating Night Cream

This is a really thick night cream that works well in colder weather, especially thanks to the shea butter.
This may be too heavy to use in summer.

The scent is quite clinical, but not overpowering.

It claims to contain apple stem cells, but I don't think this has any effect, I wasn't wowed by this product.

A little of this goes a long way.
This was a good buy from Aldi :)

Price: 3/5 ($19.99 for 50mL)
Scent: 2/5
Effectiveness: 4/5

Lacura - Organic Argan Oil For Nourishment Night Cream

Yay cruddy photo!

Another Aldi product!

This is a very heavy cream. I started using it in the summer and that was a bad idea. 
It was so heavy on my skin it made me sweat.
So if you want to use this, use it in winter!

It has a clean, kind of clinical, slightly nutty scent.
It really didn't absorb well, it felt almost more like a barrier cream than a moisturiser.

The packaging is nice though, it feels sturdy and has a cool 'double wall' look.

Price: 5/5 ($8-ish for 50mL)
Scent: 1/5
Effectiveness: 1/5

Diamonds and Emeralds EDT by Elizabeth Taylor

When I first got this perfume, I was really unsure about it. I like softer scents and this is what I would call hard (not necessarily strong, but hard).
Fragrantica describes the notes as follows:

Top notes: Apricot, Orange blossom, Gardenia, Mandarin orange, Peach, White rose, Hiacynth, Sage, Water lily.
Middle notes: Magnolia, Carnation, Tuberose, Lily, Jasmine (a personal hatred of mine), Lily of the valley, White rose.
Base notes: Tonka bean, Amber, Patchouli, Musk, Vanilla.

What I think of these notes: I SMELL NO FRUITS! I don't get the vanilla, but totally understand the white flowers in this. It just smells like it has too much. Also, looking at these notes now, with jasmine/lily/lily of the valley, I should have realised why I don't really like this scent.... I hate those flowers! (I am not a clever (wo)man)

It isn't terrible though and I have used a 100mL bottle.
I would definately call this a winter scent as the heavy scent will match your wear and the flowers will remind you of warmer times.

Price: 5/5 (very reasonable!)
Season: Winter (this is my own opinion in this section)
Weight: Heavy (I mean as in the 'weight' of the scent... does that make sense?)
Overall possum liking: 2/5
