The Body Shop - White Musk - Smoky Rose - Eau de Toilette


This smells like musk, rose and a hint on incense.

It is a really nice floral smell without being overbearingly floral (a concept I don't personally understand).

Fragantica lists the notes as

Top Notes: bergamot (nope), pink pepper (maybe), black currant (nope)
Middle Notes: tobacco blossom (no idea), black rose (yes), immortelle (yes), orange blossom (nope)
Base Notes: olibanum (frankincense, yes), white musk (yes)

Price: 4/5 ($28.95 for 30mL)
Effectiveness: 5/5
Lifetime: Moderate
Strength: Medium
Time: Afternoon
Season: Autumn

Christian Dior - Contour Lipliner Pencil - 833 Mahogany




I will admit, I'm a little chuffed to have this high-end lip liner.


The colour intensity is great and it goes on smooth.

Price: 0/5 (~$40)
Scent: 2.5/5 (smells like a pencil)
Effectiveness: 5/5

Same Product, Different Colour - Physicians Formula - Shimmer Strips - Kohl Kajal Eyeliner Trio - Green Eyes - Purple



This is the purple version of the black kohl tried earlier.


Unlike the black one, this works really well and has a good colour payoff.

Eau Thermale Avène - Skin Recovery Cream - Calming Formula


This smells like moist towelettes.

It is a bit thin for a cream and is hydrating (but I wouldn't call it moisturising).

This would be a good day cream or in flight cream.

Except the price, it costs far too much for how little it does.

If you want something less pricey, smells better and works better, try Olay Classic Moisturising Lotion.



Price: 1/5 ($46.34 for 50mL)
Scent: 2/5
Effectiveness: 4/5

Price: 1/5 (~$20)

Sally Hansen - Complete Care 7-in-1 Nail Treatment


Let's go through the '7 benefits'!
1. Base Coat (ok)
2. Top Coat (ok)
3. Growth (has calcium, so possible)
4. Strengthener (as a re-enforcement)
5. Ridge-Filler (all polish does this)
6. Brightener (no)

7. Ultra-Moisturising (It has avocado oil but no nail polish is 'ultra-moisturising'!)

But is isn't the worst list of claims I've seen.

As a top coat, it is pretty darn good.

Price: 1/5 ($19.95 for 13.3mL)
New Name: 5-in-1 Nail Treatment
Effectiveness: 4/5
