Review: Vaseline Spray Moisturiser

Hi everyone!

I’ve got another review from you with a product I’ve recently become OBSESSED with, like seriously, I want to buy 10 bottles. I believe that there are 3 different scents you can get this spray moisturiser in but I decided to get it in cocoa glow. Onto the review!

How it looks when sprayed on.

Price: $10

Packaging: I love the simple packaging of this moisturiser – it is light weight and therefore perfect for travel. This moisturiser is so handy especially when traveling as you don’t need to lug around a bottle of lotion. It has a resealable lid which twists, ensuring that product isn’t unintentionally sprayed out.

Pros:

To be honest, everything. I am completely in love with this product. The scent of it is AMAZING – I’m not that great at describing smells but it has a sweet, light chocolaty scent to it (not over powering at all). This moisturiser makes me look forward to getting out of the shower just to use it – the smell is to die for! Most importantly, it is really moisturising (my boyfriend said my skin feels a lot softer without knowing I started using this, which is awesome and proves it works, hehe), however I still am required to use this everyday after my shower otherwise my skin does feel a little dry, but this may because I have very dry skin. This moisturiser is super easy to apply, absorbs lightning fast and does not feel your skin feeling sticky and doesn’t make you look like you just put tons of moisturiser on – definite pros!

Cons:

As stated above I do need to use this everyday after I shower if I want my skin to stay feeling moisturised, meaning that it’s probably has a 4/5 effectiveness (although my skin is really dry).

Recommend?

YES! This is by far my favourite product I have tried in the past few months – I think the price is reasonable as well, but if this goes on sale, I shall prepare myself for an empty wallet! This is a lightweight, beautifully scented moisturiser which absorbs unbelievably fast. It is perfect if you’re on the go, lounging at home or even before a date (I can’t express how wonderful it smells, you have to try it for yourself!).

Featuring: RasaVilJewelery

Hi guys!

Ok, so I was browsing around ETSY and Rasa reached out to me (her shop name is RasaVilJewelery). I checked out her store and absolutely LOVE her statement jewellery pieces. I think they are an excellent way to spice up an outfit or add sophistication. Here are my top five favourite pieces from her!

The first one:il_570xN.703585771_gluoHow gorgeous is this piece? I love the unique, sophisticated vibe it gives off. It even has a bit of a ‘mysterious’ feel to it. I would definitely wear this necklace to add an extra ‘wow’ factor to my outfits at semi-special/special events. I love how it is really simple, yet beautiful – all the focus is on the gorgeous jewel in the middle, which I imagine shines brilliantly when the light hits it. This one is favourite out of all the ones I’m featuring!

The second one:

il_570xN.702898058_o28mHow elegant is this piece? This is a great option if you really want to make a statement, in my opinion this necklace is a show stopper. You can really see how much care has been taken in the creation of this – every detail is perfectly organised and really compliments the overall look of it. I think this would look so gorgeous with a long, white dress with small blots of colour (or even just plain white), it would definitely be the main focus and star of the outfit.

The third one:

il_570xN.605033034_952tOkay guys, honestly how fashionable is this necklace? I love the mermaid-like feel it gives off. I think this necklace would definitely be a compliment grabber. I love the overall colour scheme of gold, white and blue – these colours always look amazing together. The blue jewels and gold touch gives it a more sophisticated feel, making it definitely wearable for important events.

The fourth one:

il_570xN.478244092_r6n1This piece is less bold than the others but still is a stunning piece – it will make an outfit look effortless. If you aren’t feeling like being in the spot-light as much, this necklace would be perfect. I love how it looks simple yet elegant and that it would easily match almost every outfit you create! Easy to match necklaces are a must in my jewellery and outfit staples.

A closer look of the fine details:

The fifth one:

il_570xN.703814073_1pwwLast but not least, a bracelet! I love this bracelet as it has the gorgeous, opaque jewel in the middle – I think this shows finesse and is very stylish. This is a more toned down statement piece, which is perfect if you want it to compliment an outfit without overdoing it. The beautiful beads around the jewel add texture and makes the bracelet stand out compared to other normal bracelets.

Review: Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water

Heey everyone! I’ve got a review for y’all on the Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water :).

2015-01-12 01.16.44

2015-01-12 01.16.53

Price: $11.95 (I bought mine on sale though, for about $8 if I remember correctly).

Packaging:

I love the simple, chic packaging. It is aesthetic to the eye and consumers love to see the product inside the bottle. The sealed cap is sturdy, making it reliable for traveling or just a short trip somewhere.

Pros:

It easily removes waterproof makeup – I normally wear waterproof eyeliner which my Simple makeup remover has trouble removing instantly, this Garnier one removes it in a few swipes. The solution feels nice on the skin and does not cause any irritation or sting (my skin is very sensitive too), so this is a definite pro). It is pretty much scentless. Easy to use, you just pour some out onto a cotton pad (easy to control how much is poured out too).

Cons:

The only thing I dislike about this is the trouble of having to use multiple pads to remove my makeup, due to this I personally prefer makeup wipes when I do a full face of makeup. This is perfect for days on which I only use eyeliner or mascara.

Recommend?

I would recommend this makeup remover if you’re after something effective, quick and easy to remove your makeup on a daily basis – it is also fine for sensitive skin & travel friendly.

Rate: 4/5

Let me know down below if you guys have tried this product out and if you love it as much as I do! If not, what are your go-to makeup removers?

Sportsgirl Quick-Fix Dry Shampoo

Heeey guys! This is my second review and it’s going to be on the Sportsgirl Quick-fix Dry Shampoo.

2014-12-18 12.54.16

Rate: 1/5

Cost: $16.95

Available at: Sportsgirl

It works OK if you apply it the night before but it does seem to cause some dandruff. If you apply it in the morning, it leaves a white stain on your hair & powdery spots and does not absorb well (although this may not affect you as much if your hair is lighter). However it has a HORRIBLE odour; I have to block my nose while using it and move to another room so the smell doesn’t linger in my room. I will definitely not buy this product again and do not recommend it – the price is quite high as well (I’m glad I bought it with a gift card).

Let me know in the comments about your favourite dry shampoo, I desperately need one! (Sorry for the really negative review, haha!)
