Models Prefer - Nail Enamel - Rush Hour



This is a warm magenta colour that is not opaque after two coats.


Two coats and you can see the cross.
Not the texture is from the plastic, not the polish.

New Name: Girls Night Out
Effectiveness: 3/5

Same Product, Different Scent - Dusch Das - Vitalisiert - Body Wash



This smells so lovely! The main scent is peach, but it isn't overwhelming, with citrus notes.

It doesn't take much to clean you and cleans well (only one pass).
It doesn't upset my skin, which is also ideal.

The packaging looks so familiar...



I knew it! Both brands are owned by Unilever and they just used the same bottle.

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

Price:1/5  ($14.99 for 12mL)

Olivia - Damenbinden - extra lang mit Flügeln - Pads, extra long with wings



I picked these up from Aldi and chose these because they were the cheapest.

The internal absorbent material kept bunching up, it isn't well secured to the base.
It also isn't that absorbent.
These two factors combined meant I didn't just keep waking up in a pool of my own blood, but also bled onto clothes throughout the day.

I have better things to do than worry about my pad failing.

These are better than nothing, but I won't be buying them again.

Price: 5/5 ($1.61 for 14)
Scent: 2.5/5 (none)
Effectiveness: 1/5

Elemis - Pro-Collagen Marine Cream

This is quite nice.

It has a very faint marine smell, doesn't pill, absorbs well, and makes your face feel tighter.

Looking at the price, it is no wonder it works! :/

Price: 0.5/5 ($200 for 50mL)
Scent: 2.5/5
Effectiveness: 4.5/5

Olay - Regenerist - Anti-aging Eye Roller



The little metal rollers (three on this one) feel really nice, as they are cold.
The serum comes out around each of the three metal rollers, which gives a more even application than a single larger roller.

As far as effectiveness, I don't think it makes that much of a difference to my skin around my eyes, but it feels nice and the serum absorbs quickly.


Price: 2/5 ($22.35 for 6mL)
Scent: 2.5/5 (no real scent)
Effectiveness: 3.5/5
