I have too many hair products...

I am trying to cut down on stuff in my life because I think I have excess products.

Nooo idea why I have so much stuff lol... I think it just crept up on me. Lol.

Thank goodness I have a mother who loves using beauty products and is happy to receive products I cut back on because...

1) too lazy to use

2) think it's too much trouble to use

3) don't think the product worked that great (worked? Yea... but not THAT great that I will be unlazy to use it more lol...)

Here are some of my hair products...

Prexceed Hair Treatment Cream

Made in Japan

120g

No

Prexceed Hair Treatment Spray

Keeping?

No

L'oreal Anti-Breakage Conditioning Spray

Keeping?

No

Batise Dry Shampoo

VO5 Hairgel

Keeping?

Yes

Avon Flexible Hold Gel

Keeping?

No

Tresemme Heat Tamer Protective Spray

Keeping?

Yes

Morocaan Oil

Keeping?

Yes

I decided I took take that much care of my hair anyways... but I tried to so I bought stuff for it. lol. The first two products are from Sasa but I think you could find them in Japan, Hong Kong, etc...

So I downsized and only kept one hair treatment thing - the Moroccan Oil. It is the latest item I purchased. People say they want my hair (guys and girls!) so it can't be that bad... maybe I don;'t need products at all haha but I have been brainwashed into thinking I do!!!! Anyways - i plan to be more selective in the future when it come to buying all products (namely beauty related!!)

I rarely use any of the ones I pictured. No idea why I bought them besides i thought my hair would look better if I used them. But then i got lazy and didn't use them. But now I feel bad giving them all away so... i am going to keep some until further notice.

I have a can of hairspray as well but my mother and father stole it. Lol. Not pictured!

How many hair care products do you have?

Do you use them all?

What's your fave?

Travel Makeup Bag - My Mother's!

I always find it interesting to see what other people take with them when they go on holidays!

This is what my mother will bring with her - makeup wise - when she goes overseas to travel for about a week. This is much pared down from what she would bring if she was going for a month or more.


So this is her makeup case that I gave her. It is from Avon.

Here is what it looks like inside:

 The contents:

First off - Victor & Rolf Flowerbomb EDP perfume, 50mL

I purchased this for myself and I got allergic to it so I gave it to my mother. She LOVES it and has a back up! :)

Very awesome perfume. I love the smell... so sad I cannot use it!

Avon eyeshadows

- highly pigmented
- value for money
- blendable
- mom has a back up of this as well!

 There are eight shades in this neutrals pallete:

 My mother's fave foundation

Avon Beauty Age Transforming Liquid Foundation
in Almond, 30mL

- she gets compliments all the time about her skin! It is thanks to this!
- has a pump
- AU$49.95 a bottle
- blends
- anti-aging benefits (apparently)
- my mother is almost 50 yo & people still think she's only about 30 yo! Is this one of her secret weapons? ;)

Mom introduced me to this eyebrow pencil. It has since become my holy grail as well!

She has backups of this too & so do I!

It is... Australis Eyebrow Pencil in Light Brown

My mum's holy grail eyeliner pencil is Prestige Waterproof Retractable Eyeliner in Sepia
I introduced this to my mom & she loves it because it does not smudge or run on her.

Swatches
Left: eyebrow pencil
Right: eyeliner pencil

Does this look familiar?
It is the Rimmel Airy Fairy Lipstick

Remember me complaining about the smell? Yea - I can't stand it. But my mother doesn't mind the smell and thinks it smells nice!! The shade looks lovely on her too! :) Awesomeness...

Swatches

Avon Naturals Lipbalm in Strawberries and Cream

Nivea Visage Anti-Wrinkle Q10 Day Cream with SPF15


I plan to post what I am bringing with me when I travel. However, I can't make up my mind what to bring! -_-


What do you bring when travelling?

Anna Sui Beauty Mirror - LOVE! Pics & Review

Pics!

Here is the front:

The back:

Open:

Love!

Pros
- Very pretty!
- The mirror is a good size

Cons
- It has a bit of weight to it - heavier than your average mirror
- Availability
- Price

Overall rating
5/5

Would I repurchase?
Yes - I'm actually going to purchase a back up of this - I am clumsy and I break things! :(


*****

Here is actually my old mirror that has now broken! I used it for about 6 years!

It is from AVON - the pink ribbon on it was for charity.

I actually have a Snoopy one that is older than this but I gave it to my mother! If I get the chance i will take pics of it! Wayyy old! Hahah... My mother likes to collect things - i've purchased new mirrors for her in the past but she only throws things away when they break & you can't use them! lol! I used to be like that too, but there's just too much stuff sometimes! Need to downsize - less is more! :)


What is your fave mirror of the moment? How old is your oldest mirror?

AVON Moisture Effective Eye Makeup Remover Lotion Review

Here are the pics first!

Front:



Back:



75ml

Made in China

Pros:

- Inexpensive

- Hygenic bottle

- Gentle on the eyes - not stinging

- Pretty effective in removing makeup

- The lotion is a nice change to liquid type makeup removers

Cons:

- You can only purchase from AVON representatives or eBay - not available everywhere

- The packaging is not easy to squeeze! Very sturdy packaging!

Will I repurchase?

No because the packaging was a pain even though I liked the formula, I think I prefer the liquid makeup removers instead of lotion.

What is your fave makeup remover? Have you tried this one? Yay or nay?
