Neoday 'Dont Cry, Armpits Perfumed Deodorant Stick

My friend bought the Christmas Box #1 Stress Free Holidays memebox from me but didn't want the deodorant for some reason. A girl from work had recently been raving about these solid stick deordorants and I had actually been meaning to try one so I was more than happy to take it off her hands.

The product is nice and compact and has lovely packaging. When you smell it on the stick it smells quite strong, however once it's on it is actually quite subtle. It's a very pleasant clean kind of smell. It goes on easily and doesn't pull on the skin. It doesn't feel heavy and doesnt have that wet, sticky feeling that normal liquid or spray deodorant does. 

I wore this on an extremely hot day while out in the garden tearing down a shed and, consequently, overheating like crazy. This deodorant worked an absolute treat. I am definitly sold to this sort of deodorant as I cannot stand that wet, sticky feeling of putting on deodorant and I especially hate when you get it on your clothing. In short, I love this product and wish i could get it easily in Australia. Once this one runs out I'll be investing in stick deodorant from now one, I just need to figure out which one to go for.

Memebox Special #60: Oil Therapy Unboxing and Review

 Oil Therapy is a box chock full of full size oil-based skincare products. This box was $29USD. If you'd like to check out Memebox, please click the link at the bottom of the post or check out my Memebox tab which explains what it is and provides links and discount codes.

Note: All prices are in USD

 Holika Holika Pig-nose Clear Blackhead Deep Cleansing Oil Balm. RRP: $8 for 25g
This is a really nice cleanser. It smells kind of sherbet-y, that same tangy kind of smell. I quite like it. I could actually see the difference in my skin from the first use with this one. I used it on my chin and around my nose. It looked much clearer, softer and all round nicer after I used this baby. Since then I've been using it in the shower as my everyday cleanser. I'll definitely be missing this one when its gone.

ProYou Eucalyptus: RRP $24 for 10ml.
This is freaking crazy. Who would pay that for a thing of this oil?? Apparantly you are supposed to put this on blemishes. I will give it a go for the sake of adventure but to any Australian this notion is just really weird. It smells really strong (like Euc oil does of course) so I really don't know how people can stand to have this on their face at all. Most likely I will use this to get some sticky marks off my floors. I've actually been meaning to get some so this is a handy, if unusual inclusion. 

 Cheek Room Lip and Eye Makeup Remover. RRP: 12 for 100ml
This is a layered oil and has a faint but clean smell. You shake it up before you use it. I really like it. It gets my waterproof makeup and 24hr lipstick off perfectly and leaves my face feeling lightly moisturised like only oil can. You don't really need to moisturise afterwards so it makes me feel nice and refreshed. Love this stuff.

ProYou Aroma Vita Oil. RRP: $37 for 165ml
This is a really thick all over oil. It smells nice and clean and feels you feeling moisturised. I'm very very happy to receive this as I'm too lazy to moisturise properly after a shower, especially in winter. I generally use an oil and am going to run out of mine soon so a definite thumbs up from me. 

 Migabee Verbena Oil Serum RRP: $29 for 30ml. 
This serum claims to sooth, brighten, moisturise, protect, rejuvenate and provide an anti-aging treatment without  being greasy or heavy.
I love love love this. I don't know yet if it does anything for my fine lines (I'm almost 32 so I'm cultivating a few now) but I don't even care. It smells amazing. I can't really describe the smell but I could smell it all day. I love catching whiffs of this when I walk around after I've put it on. I would use it just for the smell. I think I'm going to have to source another one. Fingers crossed it helps with my baby wrinkles too and then I could justify the cost. 

Bobbish Luminous Body and Facial Mist RRP: $8 for 100g
Again this is a layered item you shake up before use. It is a relatively fine mist and is quite refreshing. It is supposed to hydrate and rejuvenate. It certainly does feel hydrating. I have taken to using it when I'm studying and start to feel a little drained (or just really really bored) and it helps wake me up a little bit. It smells faintly and is again a clean and refreshing smell. I certainly like this product and am happy to have received it. 







The Verdict
I really like this box a lot. I will get use out of everything (although the Eucalyptus will be used for other purposes). If I get a spot I will try the Eucalyptus oil and if it works wonderfully I will update this post but I've got the confess that I'm incredibly skeptical.

Memebox Superbox #64: Makeup Edition 2: Unboxing and review

I finally got my hands on my first Memebox today! I'm so excited. The box was $23USD, but with coupons and memepoints I got mine for $19.99USD. I can't remember exactly how much this was in AUD, but I think it was around $23.00 including postage. The boxs contains 7 full size items so I've got to say that this is an absolute bargain. Please excuse my terrible photos, it's very overcast here today.

In the box was:

RECEVEN Perfect Star Powder in 09Gray. RRP $11USD

This is a loose pigment which is extremely shimmery and glittery. It can be applied wet or dry. It is a nice subtle colour but I stopped wearing glittery make-up about 10 years ago. I can imagine that this would get quite messy to apply and would require proper setting to avoid fallout. It is an extremely generous size and would last a very long time.

Shara Shara I Wanna Cat's Gel Liner in 04Havana Pearl Brown. RRP $10USD

This is great. You could have gotten it in Persian Peal Navy as well and I would have been happy with either. I love gel eyeliners so was very happy to get this one. It has a nice brush in the lid which is actually a really nice brush. I wish we got both colours because I know I will definitely be using this product. As with all gel eyeliners, the size of the product is huge. It is water-resistant (not proof) which is great as I find water-proof makeup a bit difficult to remove if I make a mistake. It goes on really nicely,is easy to work with and is a real chocolatey colour.This is an absolute win as far as I'm concerned.

UPDATE: I used this last night at work and it didn't budge all night. It was super-easy to apply, which is great because I'm ham-fisted when it comes to things like this. The brush is perfect for thin or thick lines. I just love this stuff, nothing bad to say.

 

 

Etude House Woo Baby Lip Plumper in 01Clear Gloss Volume. RRP $7USD

There was also a glittery pink option and I'm so glad I got the clear one as I'm not a glittery lips person. This smells so fricken minty that I will probably use it all the time as I LOVE mint. When you open it it looks like a nail-polish brush type applicator but it's actually a flexible plastic spatula. I've only used it once and I'm not sure if it plumped anything as I have big lips anyway but my lips definitely feel well hydrated and the mint scent is amazing. It also makes your lips tingle a bit which I quite enjoy. This can be used under or over lipstick. 

UPDATE: I've been using this for two days now and I still love it. I do think it plumps my lips a little which makes them look less dry. I'm really liking it and am very glad I got a full size. I can't chew chewing gum because it gives me a sore throat so this is a nice alternative as it makes my lips tingle the same way gum does to your mouth. That's probably a really weird thing to say but its true. I've used it over and under lipstick and the result is great. I would recommend using it over lipstick though, or putting lipstick on after you've had it on for a while. If you put lipstick directly over it, it looks amazing but doesn't last very long. 

 

 

 

 

Secret Kiss Sweet Glam Glow Stick in Urban Coral. RRP $22USD

This is a lip product that is supposed to have the 'long-lasting wear of a tint, the high pigmentation of a lipstick and the high glossy shine of a gloss". Looking at the swatch I dare say that it would. Unfortunately, this is orange and orange lip colours are not even a little bit my thing. I'm really disappointed about this as I was looking forward to trying this product. Unfortunately, I always seem to get the orange lip products, Grr. I'm hoping to swap this one for the other available colour, Wonder Pink. 

 

 

 

 

Skinfood Mineral Color Fix Brow Mascara in 03Mineral Deep Brown. RRP $7USD

This is a brown brow mascara. I don't really know what else to say about this product as I have never used one and probably never will. I have very thick, dark (noticeable) eyebrows which need no further assistance. If it was a powder or a pencil I may have tried it but this product won't be used. I have swatched it and it's a nice enough colour so I'm going to try and swap or sell it so it doesn't go to waste. 

 

 

 

i.myss Beauty Toc Gold Egg Vibration Puff. RRP $30USD

This is interesting. It is a puff that vibrates, as the name suggests. It is for putting on BB Cream type foundations. It is meant to ensure high-adhesive performance and a 'delicate silky smooth texture'. I am SO intrigued by this and will be using it ASAP. I will probably do a full write up of this product and if I do I'll link it here. So crazy. 

UPDATE: I've now used this and it does appear to give my BB cream a smooth finish. Could just be that the foundation brush I usually use is a bit crap. I even had a regular at work tell me that I looked 'very attractive' last night (middle-aged female so not weird or creepy). It feels quite quirky, not sure if it's a nice feeling or not. I'm going to keep using it until the battery runs out and then decide whether or not to buy a replacement battery. It's really cute looking too, and it definitely has comic value so I'm really happy to have received this. Love it. 

 

 

 

Cover Queen Whitening BB Cream SPF30 PA++. RRP $16

This is a nice dewy BB cream, however it is way too light for me. If I were to use it I would probably use it only under my eyes, along my cheek bones and maybe on my chin, then use my normal foundation. Either that or I might mix it with my normal foundation. I will try and get it to someone who can use it as intended though. It's a really big tube so it's a bit of a pity. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Swatches

Top to Bottom: Sweet Glam Stick Glow, Receven Star Powder, Skinfood Mineral Brow Mascara, Shara Shara I Wanna Cat's Gel Liner

The Verdict

I'm really impressed with what this box has to offer. Unfortunately, the majority of the products aren't in shades I would use but you can't deny that it is a great value box. There is certainly some interesting products and some other products that I already love. Overall, I'm happy with this box - I could be happier, but I still think this is a good box. I'm excited to get my next one!
