Yay, I have finished my first 5 items already & have been sticking faithfully to my spending ban - time to put $25 in the piggy bank for my future splurge when I finish my Project 50 Pan. Here's what I've finished off this week:-
- Lux Exfoliating Shea Scrub. It smells like a caramel eclair in a bottle, I love the gorgeous scent. It's soap free, pH balanced & moisturiser enriched. I've had this bottle in the shower for months as I alternate exfoliating between this & a Salt Scrub. May repurchase, once I get through the other numerous scrubs on my dresser.
- Kit Hand Cream: Pomegranate & Pink Grapefruit. Kit state on the tube it's "Your Juicy Mood-Lifter Kit". All I can say is yes, yes Kit, it does lift mood & I love the scent, texture & how delicious this smells. Yum! I wish I had this in a bigger size, it's 30mls & full size. It lived in my handbag/car for a couple of weeks & I loved every time I used it. The scent is amazing. Definitely will repurchase.
- Hanskin Collagen Lifting B.B. Cream spf35 PA++. A well-worn tube of my first Korean B.B. Cream. I really enjoyed using this product. It is a very light shade, so if you're fair skinned & looking for a great B.B. Cream, try this one. I think it's a fabulous B.B. Cream for anyone 30+ who wants a moisturising B.B. Cream. The texture is light, it's very moisturising & always blended beautifully. A firm favourite, I'll definitely repurchase.
- Pantene Pro-V Single Dose Intensive Treatment Programme Rinse Off Treatment. This comes in a box of 5 tubes, all individual doses, & I was lucky that I found it on special at Priceline & bought a box for just a few $$. This is my last tube. Normally retails near $20. This is a hair mask that works a treat & is so travel friendly too. Easy to throw a tube or two in a suitcase on a trip away. Each tube contains 15mls. It's a top notch mask, and so easy to use. Will repurchase.
- Revlon Photoready 3D Volume Mascara in Blackest Black. I've never tried a Revlon mascara I didn't like, and this is no exception. It has a long brush & delivers great volume. It doesn't smudge & I love that it also removes easily (unlike a new one, different brand, I've just started using!). Will repurchase somewhere around 2018, ie when I get through the other 15+ mascaras I have as 'spares' on my dresser.
I'm really happy I'm 5 products in - and with some of my favourite skincare about to run out & an eyeshadow 90%+ gone, it won't be too long before I post my next 5 up.
Have you tried a spending ban, or doing a Project ... Pan? Have you tried any of the products in my first 5, and if so, what are your thoughts on them?

ReplyDeletehere's my first 5
1. Mary Kay Soothing Foot Balm (full size)
2. MOR salt and sugar body scrub – sugar rose tiger lily 610g
3. Soap – cold pressed by New Earth Soaps in WA – sweet sweet flowers – full size
4. A’kin Purely Revitalising Night Crème (bh trial) 50ml
5. Avado sensitives body lotion 200ml
I'm 2/3 of the way through my MOR salt and sugar body scrub, isn't it an amazing product? Abrasive, but not so rough it's uncomfortable :) I'm planning to buy the Neroli one in the range (when off my PP50!).
ReplyDeleteNice to see Project pan 50, Revlon mascara looks great :)
