Binnings for May & June 2012

Another batch of binnings!  I'm making way in clearing up my stuff every 2 months.  Now, how to get the make up stuff to be cleared off much faster?  That itself is a definite feat.

The Body Shop Mascara.  This was a gift from someone a while back.  I didn't even remember I had it in one of my drawers.  It's long gone I guess, given that it's now all dried up.

Biore UV Sunblock.  Review coming up soon!

Hada Labo Arbutin Essence.  Had this for ages.  Does it work?  Hm, I don't really think so?  Anyhow, it took forever for me to finish it as I find my skin a little intolerant to long term use of whitening products.  I kept stopping after using it a few weeks in a row.

Life Code  BioTRA Moisturizing Essence.  This came with a trial pack that I received when I attended their blogger event.  It was kinda chucked aside until recently when I find my skin getting extremely dry.  It's a gel transparent essence.  I tend to apply it onto my cheek area and it does help to lessen the dryness I was experiencing.  It's quite a small tube so I did finish it quite fast.  No idea the price of it now.

Elisha Coy Always Nuddy BB 24.  After chucking it aside and using it only occasionally, I'm finally done with it.  Lovely item, except when it slides off the face after about 5 hours or so.

Loreal Angelfit Concealer.  Been using it for like, forever.  The recent few times that I used it, it kinda turn funny on my face, hence off it goes to the bin.  

Loreal Hydrafresh Anti-Shine All Day Hydrating & Mattifying Icy Gel.  Like it, but can't use it for too long.  Might've caused my skin to be drying rather than hydrating though.  What I like is the icy feeling when applied on the skin.  Other than that, hm... might not be for me I guess.

Lip Balm.  Honestly, I can't for the life of me remember the brand of this lip balm.  It has the word Bee with it and it's available at Watsons.  I really dislike this lip balm because it's so waxy and thick.  It feels a little yucky when applied.  I forced myself to finish it because I don't want to waste it.  This will not be repurchased.  I do think those lip balm from Daiso scores better than this long tube here.

I do realise that out of all these, I've only written a few of them.  Need to get my butt moving de!

Nivea Pinkish Boost 3 in 1

My new job requires me to be more formal, as well as to look appropriate as there are times when I need to meet up with clients as well as interview people.  That means a HUGE change in my wardrobe; as well as some topping up in the make up department.

One thing that I still am not used to is lipstick or lipgloss.  I find them rather troublesome and a bit too much effort for me to colour my lip every now and then.  So when I chance upon Nivea Pinkish Boost 3 in 1, I just had to grab it.

What really attracted me was it's description:

One thing, it takes a little getting used to because it's more liquid-y as compared to other lip balms.  I guess I can take it as sort of like a lip gloss minus the sticky feeling.

I like the fact that it gives my lip a hint of colour, without overpowering it.  Also, it does quite well staying put on my lips.  The only time it disappears is when I have my meal =p  One thing though, because my lip tends to crack rather easily, it does not work well to hydrate my lip to make sure it stays nourished.  I guess I will need to do a bit of lip pampering on top of using this lip balm.  Bear in mind though, I'm not saying its not hydrating, it's just that my lip tends to be rather dry.  So if you are always battling dry lips, you may want to use this as a secondary lip balm rather than your main one.

Oh wait, there's another thing that I was annoyed with.  Because it's made out of plastic, the tip of the lip balm cuts my lip a little because the plastic was not even.  I'm not sure if it's the same for the rest, but mine hurts.  It didn't bleed, but the pain was there.  I had to cut/trim the edges to get rid of the risk.  So do test it out first on your finger before you go for it on your lip.

Will I rebuy?  I guess I don't mind =D
