The 4th ingredient (Butyl methoxydibenzoylmethane AKA Avobenzone) stains my white clothes when I do laundry and it is not easy to get it out. It apparently has something to do with the water hardness (or iron contents??) and where I live in Sydney has slightly harder water than the rest of it and it turns creamy yellow color, but I heard that it can be as severe as orange/rusty color! Not cool... :(
The bottle is nicely designed with narrow neck.

Now, let's see the baddies of the month really quickly.
e.l.f. Makeup Remover Cleansing Cloths
Loreal Base Magique Transforming Smoothing Primer
Bioderma Sensibio Dermatological water
ESSENCE Coverstick in Matte Sand
I feel bad about Bioderma spray because it is not really a review of the product, but the fact that it is from the brand I love and turning out to be a failure and I can't get any product out was very upsetting and disappointing.
This is it for today, thanks for stopping by.

It's been pretty busy and I know that this video is kinda late, but it is better than never!
So here is my Beauty Hits and Misses video!
This video features some products that are talked about a lot lately and/or that are many people's favorite. Here is what I think about them.
I know its a long video, I had a lot of good stuff I wanted to share, so I hope you like it.
Products mentioned:
Maybelline FitMe Concealer (15&20)
NATIO Mineral Lip Gloss in Caramel
Too Faced Semi-Sweet Chocolate Bar Palette
Beauty Cottage Gorgeous Shadow Palette (honorable mention)
Australis Paparazzi Perfect High Definition Blush in Poser
Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Foundation in Buff Beige
My faaaaave of this month (and last month).
I really needed some time to thoroughly evaluate this Too Faced Palette.
As I explained in the video, I didn't want to say I like this palette just because I got it for my birthday or just because it is a high-end product or it smells like a chocolate. If it doesn't work well as an eyeshadow palette, I won't mention it in my video as a favorite. So I took time with this palette, figuring out what makes this palette a good one.
Dupes for Mousse and Rum Raisin
Mousse and Hazelnut from Mary Kay.
Rum Raisin and Granite from Mary Kay.
Like I said in the video, these dupes don't necessarily look the same in the swatch (For a swatch, please watch my video) but they can be used interchangeably or have a very similar finish (at least on my skin anyway), so I wanted to mention it.
Products that were dissapointment:
Maybelline Dream Nude Air Foam Foundation in Porcelain Ivory
CANMAKE Hyper Slim Gel Eyeliner
No7 Radient Glow Concealer in II
I honestly have no idea why a lot of the Maybelline's foundations oxydize so bad! I have tried a bunch of different foundations (liquid, mineral or powder) from Maybelline and I notice that a lot of them turn super orange on my skin! The only foundation from Maybelline that I am happy with is the one I mentioned above, Instant Age Rewind, which is no longer sold in Australia, I believe. :( I got this foundation (Age Rewind one) at a chemist in Paddington in Sydney a while ago. I guess some shops would still sell these to get rid of the stock or sell them as imported products. Most likely the latter one though. You can also find some products that are no longer sold in Australian drugstores at the market in Haymarket. I think the products there are imported from the U.S. Or online shops are your friends when it comes to this kind of things.
Bath and Body Works Black Raspberry Vanilla Body Lotion
Mary Kay TimeWise Day Solution SPF 30
Samples I tried:
VICHY LIFTACTIV CxP Anti-Ageing and Firming Care

As I mentioned in the video, the dimethicone comes 5th in the ingredients list.
Not bad, eh?
SkinPerfection Moisturiser
Ingredients of SkinPerfection Moisturiser
Dimethicone comes second in the ingredients list! NOOOO!!!
I bought the full size product before I checked the ingredients...
No regrets though(yet) because I quite liked the feel of this moisturiser.
Forever Flawless Moisturiser
Ingredients of FF Moisturiser
This contains mineral oil. So just be aware if you seem to react to it.
This also has dimethicone but it is probably not much as it is not the top ingredients.
Philosophy Hope In A Jar Night Moisturiser
Ingredients of Hope in a jar
I am not going to argue about dimethicone or any other ingredients here because I cannot get stand the smell. I hate to say it, but it REALLY smells like someone puked on your face. Really.
I simply cannot get over the smell so there is not use to mention the ingredients.
How can I use the moisturizer that smells so horrible on my face?!
