Ulta3 - Nail Colour - From the Mine


I love this copper toned nail polish! It is so pretty!!!

Two coats.

It has a gritty texture finish, not shiny finish, which is fine.
The only negative is my bottle leaked (including two other shades from the same line, I think it is something with this formula).

Price: 5/5 ($2 for 13mL)
New Name: Peony Gold
Effectiveness: 5/5

Ulta3 - Nail Colour - 24 Carat Gold


This is a really nice shade that was released last year.
A warm, textured, gold glitter polish.
It takes two coats (minimum) to be opaque.


While Ulta3 is very affordable, it is so hard to find! 
And the customer service by the company is virtually zero! :(

Price: 5/5 (~$2.50 for 13mL)
Effectiveness: 3/5

Elemis - Minty Moisture Lip Balm


The demise of this product was at my hand... I left it in my car and it melted :O
I am such a goose!

Liquid state aside, this is a nice basic lip balm.
Paraffin base, peppermint oil, a good barrier, and unisex lip balm.

I can't fault it. This is the type of thing you want on wind-chapped lips.

Price: 1/5 ($19 for 3 on ebay, hard to find)
Scent: 4.5/5
Effectiveness: 5/5

Rexona Antiperspirant Women Sexy
I love the scent of this deodorant, so pretty!

It claims to be 48 hours of protection, but I would give it 12 hours at most (and I don't sweat a great deal, so it's not like I'm pushing it too hard).

I don't really know what else to say, aside from this scent can be hard to find...

"Same scent, better protection" Solution:
Roll-on is always better!

Price: 2/5 (rrp $5.78 for 90g)
Scent: 4.5/5
Effectiveness: 3/5

Bory ChoiZone - Wrinkle Repair Serum
Whelp, the only image I could find of this product was off another blog...

Bory Wrinkle Repair Serum comes from Korea, I got mine from a Memebox :D

You put it on before moisturising to help repair fine lines and wrinkles. 

Do I think it made much of a difference in reducing fine lines? Probably not.
Did I like it? Yes! The extra moisture and care made my skin one happy little bean.

The formula doesn't pill and soaks in quickly. The scent is very mild and clean, very pleasing.

The only negative being it can be hard to get.

'Availability' Solution:
Drops of youth from the Body Shop, baby!

Price: ??? Who knows ???
Scent: 2.5/5
Effectiveness: 4/5

Aromatherapy Associates - Shampoo with Rosemary and Ylang ylang


This beautifully floral/herb scented shampoo smells amazing! 

It lathers up terrifically and ... what can I say? It does what a shampoo is meant to do... clean hair in one wash (and you may think that sounds obvious, but some shampoos can't accomplish this)

Unfortunately I can't find this in any size other than travel/hotel size bottles (40mL)... prove me wrong, kids! Prove me wrong!

Price: 2.5/5 (you can get some small containers on eBay... sorry I can't give a rrp)
Scent: 5/5 (floral/herb, almost musk)
Effectiveness: 5/5
