My fave deodorant!!

Hi everyone!!

I know I have not been posting as regularly as I used to! I am so sorry! I have been truly busy with uni... && then I had technical difficulties lol!!

I will be blogging much more frequently now that I can do it from my phone!! =) Awesomeness!! =)

Anyways, as the weather is getting warmer here in Australia it means we will sweat! My fave deodorant is....

The Nivea extra whitening 24hr extra care a-p!

I use it all year round! Because yes, people can sweat in winter too!!

Rating:
4.5/5

It losing .5 a mark because it transfers to clothing, esp. Black clothing! Not a good look!!!!

Why do I like it?
I like that the smell is not strong, the application is easy && not wet, one of these lasts forever!! && I am not allergic to it!

Where did I purchase it from?
Sasa.com

Do I recommend to others?
Yes! I am not sure about the whitening effects, but in general it is a good deodorant!

What deodorant is your fave at the moment?

Nivea Whitening Inner Cell Repair Cream - Face & Body - Review

Purchased from: Sasa

Price: reasonable from what I remember!

(I had previously typed up this post but Blogger didn't save it... so here I go again... a shorter version because I am so annoyed -_-... not only can my new computer not transfer my new photos from my iPhone, tell me why!!?? but Blogger is super annoying....)

Pros

- UV protection

- quickly absorbed into the skin

- non-offensive smell

- non-greasy

- reasonable price

- no fuss packaging

Cons

- not available in Australia in stores - need to purchase online

- would be better as a tube (the packaging)

- not thick enough for my liking (a bit runny) - would be great as a face moisturiser but I used it as a handcream *but now i am onto VS hand and body creams so now I use it as my foot cream* I had purchased 10 of these now only have one left!! So I think I will try others - too inconvienient to by online!!

What do you think of NIVEA products?

Have you tried this product before?

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

Nivea Visage Anti-Wrinkle Q10 Day Cream with SPF15
