Empities I absolutely LOVED

 
 
Finally thought i'd do this post for those of you who are interested in just some of the products that I keep using and repurchasing.


 
For hair products, I just can't live without these.
 
Firstly, Herbal Essences Body Envy Conditioner.  This conditioner leaves my hair unbelievably soft and healthy looking !! I've been using the same conditioner for almost 5 years now... I usually switch it up but I keep gravitating back to this one.
 
Next is the L'Oreal Elnett Satin hair spray... needless to say almost all of you have used this at least once before.  Great for those pesky small hairs that need taming or for any hairstyle for that matter.
 
Ahh next is the Baptiste Dry Shampoo.  Ive tried so many different dry shampoo whether high end or cheap but this is hands down the BEST and it lasts a really long time. I Love It.
 
The L'Oreal Indestructible Volume spray, perfect for when I want to do a flawless sleek bun or ponytail. It makes my har stick to my head... better than using gel or having an "oily" look to it. Just the right final look is achieved by this spray. 


 
Let's start off with hands : about 2 years ago I tried the Bath and Body works hand sanitizer called "I Love Boys". It smells delicious !! I can't quite put my finger on it but I'm guessing its a strong perfume watermelon.  I'm not sure if they still have these but I bought myself 4 and then for my 18 or 19th birthday my friend got me several more, so I have quite the collection going :D
 
Next is the L'occitane Limited Edition Shea Vanilla. Now for this I am 100% sure that they don't sell these because I have looked everywhere for them. Too bad though, it was my favorite hand cream and it lasted really long too.
 
I have really really sensitive skin and my face will tend to react with some makeup products that I use, therefore 3 years ago I started using the Cetaphil moisturizer as a base for my makeup. The best face moisturizer for sensitive skin, and a little goes a long way !! This was my 3rd and currently I'm using my fourth.
 
Bioderma makeup remover... Oh My Goodness !! TOTALLY worth the hype !! And worth every penny. I used to use makeup remover wipes (I still do) alone but when the makeup remover wipes show that I have no more makeup to remove (I.e. clean when I wipe my face) and then I use the bioderma on a cotton pad and wipe ... the amount of leftover makeup ... I can't even tell you how shocked I was. So yeah, a total MUST if you want your face completely free of makeup and clean.


Onto Makeup...yaaay :D

Estee Lauder's daywear BB cream with spf 35.  A tinted moisturizer if you will.  I just use this bad boy after I've applied my Cetaphil cream. Its expensive yes but I kid you not, this little tube lasted me 7 months !! I use it EVERY SINGLE DAY, sometimes twice.
 
Mac's black liquid eyeliner, I must thank my friend for getting me 2 of these for Christmas because honestly, the best liquid liner I've used. Just a down side is that it dries up really really quickly.
 
I will alternate mascaras, between Avon's Curlatious Mascara, Benefit's They're Real and this, Maybeline's Turbo Volume Mascara. But I always always always come back to maybeline.  It actually makes my eyelashes grow !! They currently reach my eyebrows when I look up.  I think it is the best one out there but it is always overlooked sadly.
That's ok though... more for me when I need to re-purchase mwahahaa.

The ONLY lipstick that I have ever repurchased and the only lipstick that I wear EVERYDAY is the Mac - Amorous. It is my all time favorite. A deep maroon colour (my favorite colour) that is not too dark to be an everyday colour. It is just right - Goldilocks :D

Benefit's Hoola Bronzer. A bit too dark and dirty looking if applied in the wrong way or if the person has a heavy hand. Luckily I have mastered how to apply it and I use it all over my face as a basic "tan" if you will. My 3rd box so far.



Crest 3D White Mouthwash, the best mouthwash to help maintain a white smile and giving you minty fresh breath. Not more I can say really.
 
My signature scent - Jimmy choo.
The only perfume I've been wearing for the past couple of years. Smell this and you'll smell me :D
 
Bath and Body works mini candle in "Summer Berries". A rich aroma for the bedroom just to give it a relaxing and beautiful smell. Can I say beautiful smell? Dunno.
 
The best for last.
THE BEST body cream I have EVER used. The Body Shop Vineyard Peach. It has all the components of what a girl looks for in a cream: Amazing yummy smell, great packaging, a pump, pink :D, fully moisturizing where you feel extremely soft and your body just absorbs it right up and it gives you a faint glow.
Great product, a definite favorite as well. I have used the peach several times so im pondering whether I should try another fruit, strawberry perhaps.
 
Is it weird that I have a collection of empty stuff just sitting in my room? Ahh the things I do :'D
