Products I've Used up... Will I repurchase?

As you may know, I usually hoard a lot of products due to my ever constant shopping trips and I do like to try out new things. It is hard for me to finish up products completely because I often switch products but, when I do finish products off I feel really good and accomplished. So here are the products that I've used up over the couple of months.

Opal One minute treatment "Anti-dandruff" - I do really love this product and there is no question that I will definitely repurchase it again. I has a nice sweet clean scent and it really does relieve my scalp from itching. I wash my hair everyday because Philippine weather is really hot and humid. I really like my hair to feel clean and fresh everyday. The downside from constant washing is it does leave my scalp dry and prone to flaking. I use this product every other day after I shampoo my hair to help condition my scalp and so far I've been loving it.

Nivea extra whitening anti-perspirant - This is the only anti-perspirant that really works for me. It keeps my underarms dry and it has a nice scent. Since it is an aerosol it gives a cool sensation when applied. I have not found an anti-perspirant that works for me other than this one but it is quite difficult to travel because of the airport security.

Beauche Toner - This is my all time favorite toner and my skin can't cope without it. I wish they have bigger bottles than the 120 ml ones because I go through them like crazy. I apply it morning and night and I feel like this toner helps control my skin from breaking out. This toner have a sweet candy like scent to it that I love. I totally recommend this toner and I could not live without it. It may be difficult to find it because it is not available in the local pharmacy or drugstore, they are only available on selected Beauche stalls and direct sellers. 

Beauche Clarifying Solution " Tretinoin Hydroquinone" - This product is a staple in my night regiment . I only this product at night after I use my toner since it is quite strong but it leaves my skin feeling clean and smooth. I feel that it gets off the dirt that the cleanser and the toner didn't. I would definitely repurchase this product again.

Pyodontyl plus toothpaste - I got this one as a recommendation from my doctor beacause I have sensitive gums but I feel that it doesn't do much. It doesn't have a minty flavour so I'm not really sure if it does freshen my breath and I feel that my teeth looked somewhat yellow when I used it. I will probably not repurchase this one in the near future.

Revlon ColorStay active in "Ivory"- This foundation is not a match for my skin, it is too light for my skin tone but I don't want to waste it so I mixed it with my other foundation. I swear by the Revlon ColorStay foundation and I use it everyday but I will not repuchase this again because this one is not a match to my skintone. I however totally recommend the Revlon ColorStay line.

Maybelline Impact Express liquid liner - It is a felt tip liner and it is a pretty decent liner. It does not smudge and applies well however it does really dry out pretty fast. I will not repuchase this one in the near future because there are cheaper felt tip liners out there that are equally as good as this one. 

Stila Smudge pot in "black" - it is a great gel liner but it is ridiculously expensive. Mine dried out before I could completely use it up so I don't think its worth the price. There are other cheaper gel liners from Maybelline that would be just as good. I would not repurchase this one.

ELF eyelid primer - This is a decent eye primer. This one came in a pack of three from the holiday collection and I love it. It is inexpensive and it works great for daily wear. I would definitely repuchase this product again.

Haul: Hair products and Make-up

I know I've been bad. I've had 3 hauls this month of August, this is definitely not good for my bank balance. I've got another excuse for shopping this time, it is because I'm trying to grow my hair out and my hair is at the stage where if you don't blow dry it everyday, the ends will literally go everywhere. Hence I went to get some products that will help me moisturize and strengthen my hair. Well for the make-up bits, I have no excuse for that, I just can't help getting drawn to them. I need help pretty bad!

So on to the haul...

I picked up these tubs of Hair Spa by the band Hair Treats for my DYI hair treatment weekend. They were on offer, buy 1 take 1 and when I was at the till they gave me 15% discounted on all of my purchases so, I got these two ginormous tub of hair treats for only Php 233 = $ 6. 

Elastine Essence Serum - Php 271.18 = $ 6.50
Opal daily 1 minute treatment - Php 140 = $3.50

I use the elastine essence after I blow dry my hair to help keep tame the frizzes. The Opal hair treatment is perfect for daily hair conditioner, but I tend to use it only 3 times a week.

No Tangle Hair Mist - Php 141 = $ 3.50

This is my everyday leave in conditioner and detangler at the same time. I spray this on my damp hair before I blow dry and it just makes it easier to comb through my hair.

 
Nanny Rose Wax - Php 239 = $ 6

Olay anti-ageing eye cream - Php 597 = $ 14

I figured I need to start taking care of my skin and keep it moisturized since I'm not getting any younger and since I constantly abuse it by putting make-up every single day.

Revlon Age Defying Foundation in Honey Beige - Php 850 = $ 20

I'm almost out of my Revlon colorstay foundation and I decided to try this one out since I was on 15% off offer.

BB Cream - Php 281 = $ 7

I decided to try this BB Cream out for those casual days off that I don't really need to put a full face of make-up on.

Elf Eyebrow Kit Php 213.53 = $ 5

I have been eyeing this product for some time now and since it has some great reviews online and since it was on offer I decided to give a go.

Oil control sheet - Php 36.55 = $ 0.85

This my favorite oil control sheets and I would repurchase this one every time.

WetnWild Mega Glo in Catwalk Pink - Php 390 = $ 9.25
WetnWild Eye Shadow Trio in Walking on Eggshells - Php 290 = $ 7
Online Store : http://www.lazada.com.ph/beauty/

I got these WetnWild products on a online store who sells various skincare and make-up products in the Philippines. They also do Free shipping and Cash on delivery services so I decided to place a test order. The delivery was faster than I had expected and I am very pleased with the products and the service as well. I just wish they had more products sold there. I would definitely repurchase from the site again.
