It's my birthday today! I'm now 22... time goes by so fast!

♥
☑ SPAresource Coconut Hand Cream (sample size 4mL)
This smells yummy, and it's really thick for a hand cream! I'm never disappointed by SPAresource products!
Repurchase? yes!
☑ Pantene Color Preserve Volume Hair Solutions Shampoo (50 mL)
This didn't really preserve my color more than any other shampoo and it didn't leave my hair especially shiny )=
Repurchase? no
☑ Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula (sample size)
I was thrilled to finally get a chance to try this product and OMG, it totally lives up to its claims, even if I had enough product for only two uses! It's really thick, it smells yummy and it's really hydrating (I really noticed a difference on my elbow even after only 2 uses!).
Repurchase? yes!
☑ Burt's Bees Vitamin E Bath & Bodu Oil (sample size 29 mL)
I love the smell, very refreshing, but I'm not a fan of oil as it's just so... greasy LOL.
Repurchase? no
☑ Avon SuperExtend Mascara
This is lenghtening, but it's not the best mascara I've ever used. Plus, it clumps after a few coats and it dries up quite quickly )=
Repurchase? no
What I'm currently using to replace it: Maybelline The Falsies Volum' Express Mascara
☑ John Frieda Root Awakening Nourishing Moisture Shampoo, Conditioner and Shooting Lotion (sample size 8.3 mL)
Repurchase? yes
☑Sally Hansen Maximum Strength Regular Polish Remover
Well there's not much to say about a nail polish remover! Sally Hansen is a well-known nail care brand and I guess this product does the job.
Repurchase? yes
☑ Freeman Moisture Rich Apricot & Wild Cherry Deep Impact Lathering Facial Scrub
Wow, I have this since forever! It smells great and does the job quite well, but I hink it has been discontinued.
Repurchase? yes
☑ Dove Ultimate Go Fresh Burst Nectarine & White Ginger scent Anti-perspirant stick
I didn't feel especially "protected" with this anti-perspirant. I only bopught it because it was on sale and because it smelled great hehe!
Repurchase? no
Happy birthday! I love Palmer's Cocoa Butter, it's such an amazing product and smells gorgeous too :) x
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! :D
ReplyDeleteHapp birthday, Gaby! And may all your wishes come true! And may you win more giveaways, haha!
ReplyDeleteI had a Freeman peel-off mask some time ago, it was with cucumber and smth else (can't remember what) and I loved it! :D
@Dani: Thank you! I love it too, it's soooo rich and moisturizing. I'm definitely going to buy a full size bottle!
ReplyDelete@GabZ1985 @Michelle : Thanks!
@birminghamlady : Thank you! I actually think I should stop entering any more giveaways LOL. Yes I had a Freeman peel-off mask too a while back ago but I gave it to my mother, I didn't like it very much, I don't know, it just didn't seem to work for me 0=

ReplyDeleteHappy birthday, beautiful ! Comment ça , tu viens pas à la vente Annabelle ??? Merdoume, je comptais t'y croiser....Ceci étant je devrais surement pas y aller aussi vu que j'ai décidé de ne plus acheter de blushs, e/S, lipgloss et rouges à lèvres....

Awww Happy Birthday Gaby!!!! :) Best wishes to you from Toronto. Ahhh I wish I could be here if you decide to come to Toronto next week. Ugh, we'll get together one of these days!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know the John Frieda Root Awakening hair products smell a bit minty and work so well. Thanks for sharing. I'll consider picking some up once I get through my shampoo/conditioner back ups.
I love the smell of Palmer's Cocoa butter but you know what? I don't find that it moisturizes my skin well :( It doesn't absorb well so I always mix a bit with Cetaphil or Aveeno since those two moisturize me really well and this one is for scent :)
Happy Birthday!! Enjoy it!
ReplyDeletehappy birthday!!! :Di do not like avon super extend mascara too
ReplyDelete@Fifi: Thank you!!
ReplyDelete@Step: Thanks! I'm glad you like these posts, they motivate me as well (=

@LittoMokaa @petitechouxx : Merci!!! (=
@MUA: Merci!! Ahhh écoute ça a été une dure décision de ne pas aller à la vente, mais c'est la meilleure solution pour résister à la tentation ahah! Je te le dis, j'ai du stock de maquillage pour toute ma vie, et même plus, c'est complètement ridicule xD
@Kasia_B @LCzinha : Thank you!!
@donnarence: Thanks! Yes, it's far from the best, and it definitely doesn't live up to its claims x=
happy birthday :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you don't like the mascara. It is my favourtie.. I think they need to make it clear it is waterproof in the ads, that is why it gets clumpy...I think all waterproof do
HAPPY BIRTHDAY! :D
ReplyDeleteHappy Happy Birthday!! :]
ReplyDeletehappy birthday!!! :)
ReplyDeleteOh that's funny, I'm the same I cut shampoo and lotion bottles in half too!
