Favourites Lately: Late 2016
This year I chose to do quarterly favourites so I’ve had lists for early 2016 (covering January to March) and mid-year (covering April to June), and now I’m showing my third quarterly favourites to cover July to September:
It’s mostly sunny products but a little bit of autumn is creeping in… yes, I’m a bit late in posting this – it ought to have been up early October.
عناية بالجلد:
• Antipodes Vanilla Pod Day cream (review here) – of the 4 Antipodes products I started using this summer, this is the one that stands apart and I continue to use daily. It creates a smooth and hydrated base for foundation to be applied on top.
• Paula’s choice resist Anti-aging Eye cream – my pal gave this to me because I was complaining about my eye area looking crepey and none of my eye creams were cutting it (this was before I went crawling back to Shiseido’s eye cream). This eye cream is wonderful for offering hydration and protection in a lightweight, non-greasy formula. I choose this for nighttime because it does tend to ball up underneath concealers.
• Nuworld Botanicals Cold-pressed organic Sea buckthorn & Jojoba oil (review here) – this amazed me by showing me that not all oils are created equal.
• TonyMoly Dalcom Banana Pong Dang Lip Balm – I don’t think I’ve ever shown this on the blog before. I keep this at work typically – in fact, my coworker purchased it for me. She got hooked on the TonyMoly line when she discovered it at Hudson’s Bay charm Underground. This lip balm isn’t sticky whatsoever and smells like real banana (not that synthetic crap that triggers memories of medicine when I was a kid – gag!)
• Garnier Micellar cleaning Water – I’ll join the legions to echo their “believe the hype” assessment of this micellar water. It does the job, it’s easily accessible, and it’s affordable. I personally still choose the micellar waters from Yves Rocher, Sukin and Reversa – I find them much more effective and soothing for my skin. but that’s just me being incredibly picky.
• MUJI High moisture Toner – I discussed this in my recent MUJI skincare post. This has a high glycerin content which makes it practically like a priming water (something that the Smashbox primer Water fails miserably at! ). There are some days I use just this and skipped my serum, and apply the Antipodes face cream on best after, that’s how hydrating this is. This might edge out my previous preferred misting toner, from Sukin.
• Biotherm Biocils Lash Optimizer Eye makeup remover – this is a long time preferred ever because I received a sample and then I was hooked! another example of where sampling works. This is a very effective eye makeup remover and it doesn’t leave any residue.
• Avon makeup setting Spray (review here) – a surprise find from Avon. This setting spray really does work to lock down makeup for the day.
العناية بالجسم:
• Cake Coconut Body Souffle – this smells like a coconut and a cupcake had a lovechild. The formula is also divine – absorbs rapidly but keeps the hydration all day.
• L’Occitane Ultra Soft Balm – I wouldn’t call this ultra soft in terms of its texture – it’s quite a solid wax, but it does make my skin very soft! It smells like roses and I like it for my cuticles and elbows.
Mine was broken upon opening the container – here’s what appears to be the bunny ears. My preferred way to use this is to break it up into chunks the size of cherry tomatoes and lather up in my Salux wash cloth.
• lush Bouncy Bunny bath Jelly – yes this is an Easter limited edition item and I’m only 6 months late on this. This is my first time using a lush bath jelly and it’s so much fun! Plus, it smells like Creamsicles (orange + vanilla), lathers up nicely, and leaves my skin feeling soft. I’m going to be getting a holiday one if they have any scents I like (and I’ll get around to using it by June 2017!)
While I’m at it, another preferred is this Umbra ENSA soap dish. It has a raised tray so the soap doesn’t sit in water. and the metal portion removes for easy cleaning.
• Nova Scotia Fisherman Sea Salt Soap (haul here) – a very soothing soap that smells warm and inviting (mixture of shea and sea salt is my guess?). thanks again to Dal of little charm loves for raving about this line, or else I would have never tried it.
العناية بالشعر:
• Herbal Essences Smooth Collection shampoo and conditioner (haul here) – thanks to Mrs. Strawberry Blonde, I picked this pair up and I’m really enjoying both! They clean my hair and adds moisture without weighing it down. And they smell great, don’t forget how “orgasmic” they are.
• Korres Licorice & Urtica Shampoo – my pal went to Greece last year and actually hauled this back for me! It’s a bit medicinal but it really clarifies my hair. I like alternating my shampoos so I use this alongside the Herbal Essences one.
ميك أب:
• Faces Metaliglow in 03 rose Bronze – I purchased this way back in January and finally busted it open in the summer.
