#1 St Ive's Facial Scrub- Blemish Prone Skin
My wall is not dirty okay that's just the design of the tile hahaha
I've always been a fan of the St Ive's apricot scrubs. They are a little harsher than some other physical scrubs but I feel like they're still gentle enough to be used everyday. This is the first time I've tried the one for blemish prone skin and omg I seriously love this scrub. I don't think I'll go back to using the other scrubs anymore. This product contains salicylic acid, which is good for acne, and I think that's why I love it so much. Flo told me that she read somewhere that this can be used as a mask as well because of the SA. What I usually do is use it when I feel like I've got a lot of dead skin or when my skin is super dry (this doesn't dry out your skin AT ALL) I will use it then leave it on my face and wash my body or whatever then come back and rinse it off. I've seen an improvement in my skin ever since I've used this product and maybe also because I haven't been eating so much junk food la but I'm sure this product played a part too. My skin just feel so soft after using this and I will usually use this at night then use my Laneige water pack before bed or I use this in the morning when my skin is looking dull or I haven't had much sleep or was having an emotional night. This scrub really makes my skin look a lot fresher and clearer :)
LAAAAV IT!
Really recommend this product to everyone!!
#2 Oxy10
My mum cut it cause it was running low HAHAHA
I've never really liked this product because I feel like it dries my skin but omg I've been using this for any spots because it's in my bathroom cause my mum uses it and I'm too lazy to go to my room to get my spot treatments. This really dries out a pimple and it's really damn good (Y) But it's super drying so try not to use it so often!
What I do is put this on any spots before I sleep and use it for a few days consecutively then when the spot start to clear I stop because it can really make my skin feel tight and dry.
#3 Boscia Make-Up Break Up Cool Cleansing Oil
This make up remover is really bomb.com. I use like one pump every time to remove my make up unless I'm using a super stay foundation like the Covergirl Outlast Stay Fabulous foundation. Then I might use 1.5/2 pumps depending on my mood HAHA This oil feels damn damn damn nice on the skin like seriously. It's not like the Shu Uemura dry oils, this is more like an oil-gel formula to me and it just feels damn soft and nice on the skin and I usually get carried away and end up massaging my face for like 2 minutes just cause. HAHA but I don't think it does anything bad to my skin so it's fine :p
Anyways, this feels really nice on the skin and like it has this slight cooling sensation. I don't use this for my eye make up tho because the cooling sensation is a bit too much for my sensitive eyes!
#4 Garnier Clean Sensitive Eye & Face Make Up Remover full review here
I've talked about this before and this is truly my HG eye make up remover. This seriously removes ALL WATERPROOF MASCARA okay. Like the next morning I won't have the residue kind. This is really ddaaaammmnnnnn good and everyone should try it and it's for sensitive eyes some more. This doesn't sting my eyes at all!!! Actually it does la sometimes when I'm like damn careless and anyhow just rub my eyes and a lot of product enters my eyes HAHA but it doesn't burn or what it's just a little uncomfortable but when I wipe my eye it's okay alr. This is really damn good I can't even say anymore about it you just need to try it for yourself.
What I do shake it really violently to mix the oil and water thing and then quickly squirt it on a cotton pad cause it separates quite fast. Then I just hold the pad on my eye for like a few seconds and just wipe the make up off. I don't even need rub unless like I said I'm just careless and anyhow removing cause I'm damn over it but if I do it normally it removes easily :) This is the only thing which can take of the super stay mascara (I'll talk about this later) and omg it's really damn good la I don't know what else to say hahahah
Nails
#1 O.P.I Nail Envy
Recommended by Flo who uses the original formula most of the time. I use the one for thin nails (pink words) and this is really damn good and my nails hard ever chip or tear anymore!!! Amazeballs.
#2 Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat
BEST.TOP.COAT.EVER.
No streak, no dents, no bed sheet prints.
Dries so so so fast ( realistically fast la like maybe 3 minutes max)
Gives your nails this gel like look. Will never use any other top coat and I have used bottleS already.
#3 Innisfree Pro Nail Colours
Cheap and Good. Wide brush. Lasts relatively long. Only 4SGD.
Super love
#4 Etude House Nail Polish
Just like the Innisfree ones. I prefer the brush of this a little more tho. 3.90SGD. Seriously nothing to hate :D
Hair
#1 Herbal Essence Shampoo & Conditioner
my HG. I must always have this shampoo in my bathroom cause it just works well for me and it doesn't give me any scalp problems. If I do try out other shampoos and they cause like itching or dry scalp, I always go back to this and my scalp will be okay. So cheap some more. And it smells amazing. If you like coconuts hehe been using this for years and I don't think I'll ever stop. OH OH OH BUT you must make sure it's not made in China cause the one that's made in China made my scalp super itchy. I don't know why~ the one I use is from Thailand :)
#2 L'Oreal Extraordinary Oil
This is just a good oil. It doesn't leave your hair sticky, oily or anything and it just makes my hair so soft I lav it. I usually use it on like towel dried hair and then after I blow dry I will use a bit more. I always go crazy and pump a lot when I use it just cause and it doesn't make my hair oily or whatever :)
This post is really long so I'll just do my make up favorites in the next post!! :)
Have a good mid week!!!
Lots of love,
Alexandria ♡
