L'Occitane - Crème Divine - Immortelle Divine cream
I LOVE this cream! If I had sufficient funds, this would be my night cream, forever!
I love the smell (flowers, lemon, honey, spring, joy), the oils in it, the texture, how it soaks in.... I love this.
The only thing I don't love is the price :(
I will confess, I purchased a full size jar once as a gift to myself, but it will be a while before I can do that again.
What more can I say? I'm in love <3
Price: 0.5/5 (rrp $145 for 50mL)
Scent: 5/5
Effectiveness: 4.5/5

Masquerade! - Baroness Collagen Mask Sheet
This paper mask was pretty dry, I don't know if it was just mine or all the collagen ones from this brand, but it spoiled the experience.
In addition to collagen, it also has apple and oarweed extract.

Original Source - Skin Quench - Moisturising Shower Blackcurrant & Moringa Oil
This shower gel smells like blackcurrant lollies!
I loved the little oil beads as well, which dissolve (!!!!) and don't go on to accumulate in the environment!
It was both moisturising and cleaned well, with a good lather.
And I have another bottle from my Bellabox!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D
Price: 3.5/5 ($4.99 for 250mL)
Scent: 4.5/5
Effectiveness: 5/5

Xeomin (botulinum toxin)
Don't judge me!
I have this nasty little biological habit that I can build muscle too well (I am definitely a mesomorph)... the only problem is that it isn't just limited to my limbs.
About two years ago, I started getting tension headaches and (when I looked in the mirror) I could see the distinct lines on my brow where I had been frowning.
I tried to get out of the habit, but I couldn't, it was a subconscious reaction.
| Mine were a very muscular scrunch... my doctor was even impressed! |
So, instead of taking pain killers all the time, I decided to get the muscles paralysed.
The injections last about 4 months and I get 30 units in my brow. I tried just 20, but it wasn't enough.
The good thing about this is over time, the muscles will atrophy and I won't need as much.
It is an expensive treatment, at $15 a unit ($450 each 4 months for me), but it works so well.
It takes away the stress headaches and that is perfect.
Price: 0/5 ($15 a unit, you need many units)
Pain of procedure: 1/5
Effectiveness: 5/5

Healthy Care - Bee Venom Face Moisturiser
This was the face moisturiser I used as my night cream when I was traveling through California.
It smells like honey (yay!) and wheat (why!?!), but was pleasant enough.
As far as feeling any effect of the venom on my face, I got a little stiffness, but nothing major (no paralysis).
The stiffness I felt could be due to my skin plumping up with the added moisture (which is also most desirable).
I liked it, I don't know if I will buy it again though, as it didn't seem that effective.
"I want bits of my face to stop moving and wrinkling up" Solution:
Xeomin (botulinum toxin), baby!
Price: 3.5/5 (rrp $21.99 for 30g)
Scent: 1/5
Effectiveness: 3/5

Avon - Skin so Soft - Hair Minimizing Deodorant
I know at least two Avon ladies so I thought I would give this a try.
(TMI FYI: I epilate/wax to remove body hair, I do this for me because I like my body without hair, not for anyone else)
As far as minimizing hair regrowth, it didn't help all that much, I didn't notice much of a different.
As far as being a deodorant, it did as a deodorant should.
The only negative is the smell, it smells like wheat to me... which isn't a bad smell, I just don't like smelling like wheat.
"Get rid of my underarm hair, thou!" Solution:
Embrace the pain!!!!!!! Muhahahaha!!!
Price: 4/5 (rrp $5.99 for 85mL)
Scent: 1/5
Effectiveness: 4/5

Amele - Essential Intimate Wash
Yes, this is a lady product... for lady bits... figure out how old you are mentally and act horrified to the appropriate degree in response!
The vagina, in addition to being a super cool bit of anatomy and capable of allowing the generation of new life, likes to keep its environment at a pH of 4.2 -5.
Most soap is alkaline (pH > 7) and this can annoy your (or your lady friend's) natural flora.
This wash has lactic acid, to help lower the pH, lathers well and cleans well. It didn't have a super strong smell, so it didn't upset my skin.
I also want to give a big shout out to the packaging! Simple, modern, not bright pink or made to look like some sort of bio-hazard control. I would have no issue if someone saw this in my bathroom, the packaging is not embarrassing... it is pretty and mature.
I make no apologies for talking about vagina soap! Deal with it!
"I can't cope with you talking about feminine hygiene" Solution:
Eat some cement and harden the f**k up!
Price: 4/5 (rrp $6.99 for 150mL)
Scent: 4.5/5
Effectiveness: 5/5
