L'occitane


From left: Grape pulp scrub, Almond shower oil, Lavender shower gel

L'occitane in Bondi have these 20ml bottles of products for $5aud each. They're running out fast!
They smell so lovely. Especially the almond oil. Wasn't too crazy about it at first because in oil form it just smells like Almonds but, once the oil foams with water it has this really lovely fresh floral scent.
I don't think there are any of the small bottles left :( but I might stick to the almond oil from now on anyhow :D

The lavender shower gel has a pretty standard lavender scent. Nothing too special.

The scrub is awesome. It smells really delicious!! And polishes dead skin very well. Plus it comes with this cool lid that can be screwed off but if you screw without pushing down, this hole at the top opens so that the product squirts out of the lid.

Acuvue TruEye


Lately, my eyes have become intolerant to contact lenses. I've been wearing glasses pretty much every day since I've been to the eye specialist :( tired of looking like a nerd all the time.

My friend Nancy, who's an optometrist suggested daily contact lenses. So I got these babies!
1-day Acuvue TruEye.
With high water and oxygen content, they feel like wearing nothing at all. And the best part is, if I'm tired and already in bed, I don't have to get up and go fuss around with solution!

But at $50aud for a pack of 30 lenses, they're a little pricey, but it's for your eyes.
I'm pretty sure the intolerance was due to those Korean geo deuba w/e they're called contact lenses. They were quite horrible on the eyes. I have been wearing contacts for over 10 years and my eyes were fine until I started wearing them :( Now I can never go back to wearing contacts everyday. D:

new clinique eyeliners~

I prefer Clinique for eye make-up because they're usually always ophthalmologist tested. Fancy word... really just means the formula is easy on your eyes.



The top one is the Clinique brush-on cream liner. When I first saw the jar I thought they gave me the wrong colour, it looks maroon... but upon application the colour is in fact very dark. It has great staying power also. Once set, it will not budge, not even with a little bit of water.

The bottom one is the water-resistant eyeliner in powder formula. Kind of ironic that a water resistant product requires water to be applied...
anyway, this product is quite thin... I'm not a huge fan. It requires quite a few apps to become that light grey in the picture. It is slightly water resistant but does rub off a little over time.
I'd say its a great 'grey' eyeliner, definitely not black...
