Same Produst, Different Scent - Dusch Das - Prickelnd Frisch - Body Wash

This smells so lovely! It's like a mojito!

Lime and mint are such a nice combo!
It doesn't take much to clean you and cleans well (only one pass).
It is non-irritating to my skin, which is also ideal.


Price: 5/5 ($1.86 for 250mL)
Scent: 5/5
Effectiveness: 5/5

Cussons – Imperial Leather – Antiperspirant Deodorant – Enriched – Jojoba

I got this from the Reject Shop and I believe it to be for an international market.

It smells nice and works well, but also contains alcohol and can thus sting a little.

I can’t find any trace of it online.

Price: **Unknown
Scent: 3/5 (fresh)
Effectiveness: 4/5

Crabtree & Evelyn - Himalayan Blue - Body Lotion

A nice lotion on the thicker side, it is very moisturising.

To me, the scent is very pear and green notes, quite a fresh scent.

Price: 1/5 ($46 for 500mL)
Scent: 4.5/5
Effectiveness: 4/5

Same Product, Different Scent - The Body Shop - Body Sorbet - Pink Grapefruit

Has a strong acidic, grapefruit scent which is quite pleasant and fresh.
It, again, falls short with its pilling formula.

The Body Shop - Drops of Light - Pure Healthy Brightening Day Cream

I loved using this, although to be fair, I used it as a night cream.
It has a fresh, clean scent and absorbs well.
It doesn't feel to heavy, so you can wear at during the day.

I love how this made my skin look!

The packaging is sleek and has a nice weight (the jar is made of glass)

Price: 3/5 (RRP $42.95 for 50mL)
Scent: 4.5/5
Effectiveness: 5/5

The Body Shop - Moisture White - Shiso Overnight Triple Boost Serum

I got this on sale because they are changing/ they changed the packaging.

I applied it at night, after cleansing but before moisturising.
It was lightweight, absorbed quickly, has a very slight shimmer, and has a clean/ fresh scent.

And you KNOW how I feel about shimmer!

My skin was RADIANT after using this for a week!
Noticeably radiant!
I used it leading up to going overseas (so I felt like a damn queen!)


Price: 2/5 (RRP $49.95 for 30mL, now Drops of Light serum)
Scent: 4/5
Effectiveness: 5/5

Mitchum - Women Clinical - Oxygen Odor Control - Pure Fresh

I'll let you in on a little secret, if you want your antiperspirant to work at its best, put it on at night (after your shower, just before bed). It gives the active ingredients time to soak into the skin and deactivate the sweat glands. You don't need fancy 'clinical' protection antiperspirant.

That being said, I will now review this product like it was any other antiperspirant (which it is).

The many small holes which allow the product through are well dispersed over the top and allow an even spread of product. The packaging winds up easily and the design of the packet is sleek and visually pleasing. (feeling the metallic green-pale green and white, very tennis) The scent is fresh and clean (and non-offensive). 

As far as reducing sweat (and thus odour), it works well and I had minimal/no break through sweating.

Price: 2/5 ($12.95 for 45g)
Scent: 3.5/5
Effectiveness: 4.5/5

Masquerade! - Oriental Herbal Skincare Premium Mask Pack

This was the Silk worm (Whitening type) face mask. It smells lovely and fresh, with a very faint floral scent. 

Clean & Clear - Deep Action Cleansing Wipes

These wipes are okay, if a little scratchy. I have used these for a while and, while I loved them when I was younger, I'm a little over them... probably because I am no longer too lazy to wash my face properly (what, I was a teenager)

I would say they take off about 85% of make up and as far as blemishes, I did notice that these wipes made marks look less angry, but they didn't prevent pimples (for me at least).

'I don't want to use slightly scratchy wipes on my skin' Solution:

The Body Shop Luxury Face Chamois is the freaking business when washing your face!

Price: 3/5 (rrp $9.99 for 46 wipes)

Scent: 4/5 (fresh scent)

Effectiveness: 3/5
