Garnier BB Eye Roll-On (Light)

 

This is the concealer I am currently using. I purchased this a long time back and have never got around to using it until now. 

The coverage is very light so those with major undereye issues may want to skip trying this out as its performance may not be good enough. However, the product does not crease nor settle into fine lines around the eye area so I do appreciate these aspects. 

Also, although I typically use a different concealer for blemishes and undereye area, I know there are some people who share the same tool for both. In this case, I do not find this Garnier BB Eye Roll-On suitable at all for concelaing of blemishes as the coverage is way too minimal.

Would I re-purchase? No, as I prefer heavier coverages when it comes to concealer. 

Matomage Hair Styling Stick

What this hair styling stick is supposed to do is keep bits of your hair up, such as the fringe or any hairs that fall out of your ponytail or bun.

I was honestly quite disappointed in this hair styling stick. It does not have good holding power and it stuck bits of my hair together, making them look sticky.

Safe to say, I would not re-purchase and am no longer using this product.

Batiste Dry Shampoo

Up till this point, I have only tried ONE dry shampoo brand in the market and that is... Batiste. I highly recommend this dry shampoo for the product leaves no white powder on your scalp and truly refreshes and voluminises your mane. I am deeply impressed and will continue to repurchase.

Bio Oil

According to Bio Oil's official website, this product is a "skincare oil that helps improve the appearance of scars, stretch marks and uneven skin tone ... also effective for ageing and dehydrated skin".

Stretch marks are super unsightly (duh!) and hence I was curious to find out for myself is Bio Oil really works to do away with them. I used this in hopes of eliminating or, perhaps more realistically, fading the horizontal stretch marks that I have on my upper thighs. (Fun Fact: You get horizontal stretch marks from vertical growth and vertical stretch marks from horizontal growth.)

In my opinion, it did really fade my stretch marks but, expectedly, did not make them disappear entirely. However, I had also been exfoliating the stretch marks religiously as I heard that works to rid them as well, so I am unsure as which method I should credit my positive results to.

I doubt I will personally repurchase this product but if anyone is interested to give it a go - go for it!

Organix Vanilla Silk Serum

I adored the scent of this hair serum, simply because I am the biggest fan of any vanilla/caramel/toffee/butterscotch/cupcake/cookie olfactions. However, the product does go on too sticky and thus results in strands of my hair clumping together with a "wet" feel post-application. The twist cap was also a bane because it was not secure enough for me to carry the bottle around when travelling - spillage occurred on more than one occasions. I eventually chucked the half-used serum in Brisbane because I did not care to bring it with me to Melbourne for fear of further luggae spillage. I would recommend this product to those who absolutely love the aforementioned scents and do not intend to carry this product anywhere except for home usage.
