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.

GU:AAM Method - Whitening Serum

This came to me by way of Memebox (before they abandoned their Australian fan base) and I wish I could like it.

It is sticky and pills. It doesn't absorb at all and smells really unimpressive (weak/ slightly gross).
It just feels like putting diluted glue on your face, and feels just as beneficial.

It contains black pearl and conchiolin 35... but it is just a waste of the gem...

"I want a brightening serum that doesn't suck" Solution:

This Avon vitamin c serum is amazing!

Price: 2.5/5 ($30 for 60mL)
Scent: 1/5
Effectiveness: 0/5

The Body Shop - Satsuma - Body Sorbet

I really didn't like this product when I initially purchased it. I kept it in the fridge to make it extra refreshing (for summer) and it pilled when I put it on my skin :c (that is, any rubbing turned it into little balls/worms that just fell off and went everywhere)

Non-refrigerated, it doesn't pill and is delightful!
A refreshing way to add some hydration to your skin in summer 

And the smell <3 love it!

Price: 3/5 ($19.95 for 200mL)
Scent: 5/5
Effectiveness: 3.5/5

Garnier - Dark Spot Corrector

I got this to help fade some spots on my arms and I really regret buying it.
The tube next to me is 95% full.

The formulation is useless, I saw no change in pigmentation and it doesn't soak in at all... It just pills off and makes a big mess.

What were they thinking?

Price: 3/5 ($7-17 for 50mL on ebay)
Scent: 1/5
Effectiveness: 0/5

Chi Chi - Creamy Matte Liquid Lipsticks - Va Va Va Voom

Matte lipsticks are very popular at the moment and at first glance, this liquid lipstick may seem like a good introduction... do not be fooled!

This lipstick is difficult to apply, gives patchy colour, pills and flakes as it dries and does not fully set.
DO NOT BUY!

The only good things I can say about it is it didn't cost me too much and the colour is nice (if it worked).

Price: 3/5 (rrp $11.86 for one, but don't bother!)
Scent: 0/5 (Chemically! and not in the fun way!)
Effectiveness: 0/5

The Body Shop - Seaweed Mattifying Day Cream

This is a hydrating day cream which is quite light and has a fresh, oceanic, mild scent.

It does 'mattify' to an extent, but given my naturally oily skin that quite a challenge.

The only negative with this cream is it can 'pill' if you put a bit too much on, so keep it thin!

Price: 3/5 (rrp $20.95 for 50mL)
Scent: 4/5
Effectiveness: 4/5
