Urban Colour - One Coat Nail Polish

I tried to find the name of this shade but couldn't, so lets call it a blue-grey-pnk ... asphyxiated pink!

I got this one night when I was inebriated on a train and a fellow inebriated gave me the bottle of polish after I complemented her nail colour.

I wasn't sure I liked the colour when sober, but it looked good on.

However, the brush sucked, the formula was too thick, and it smells like hexane.

It is a really cheap polish. Don't even bother buying this brand as a stocking stuffer, it is a waste of money!

Price: 5/5 ($10 for 12)
Scent: 0/5
Effectiveness: 1/5

Model Co - Shine Ultra Lip Gloss - Strip Tease

I'm quite suspicious of lip glosses since my toothpaste allergy/lips that never stopped bleeding started about the same time that I started using lip gloss (correlation does not equal causation).

This lip gloss reminded me of these old fears...

Right of the bat, this is a relatively unknown brand name to me... This is your typical sticky lip gloss, with virtually no colour pay-off and fine-milled glitter.
On, it makes my lips feel a little itchy and while it provides a physical barrier, it didn't add any moisture.

The container, while I love the little mirror on the side of the tube, the damn thing leaked!!! How dare it!

So let's say it is like it's colour name-sake (A cheap strip-tease)  it leaves you a few dollars poorer and covered in glitter. XD (and there are a few other parallels, but I'll keep it a bit more appropriate for the blog)

Price: 1/5 (rrp $20.00, how can such a crappy formula cost so much?)
Scent:1/5 (smells like powdered fake fruit)
Effectiveness: 0/5

Nivea Men - Energy - Shower Gel

How convenient! Hair, body and face wash in one! -_-

The smell is generic cheap male smell, but the lather is okay and it does the job in terms of making the filth of the day go away...

"I want to smell good (as a male) but not cheap after washing" Solution:

Smells so good! And not fake :)

Price: 4/5 (rrp $7.50 for 500mL)

Scent: 1/5 (eww)

Effectiveness: 5/5 (meh, it soaps good)
