One of Many




On one of my last trips to my 2nd fave shop, Priceline i picked up two of the beauties in the photo below, the Organix Renewing Moroccan Argan Oil and Dolce & Gabbana's The One


Now i know just about everyone has tried or is currently using The One, but i spent about 6 months deciding whether or not it was the right one for me. I found it for 30% off and thought why not. I find it to be a cinnamon jasmine scent and feel it is long lasting and quite powerful, but i like that in a fragrance. While i am loving it i have already decided what my next fragrance will be.. stay tuned.

With the Argan oil, i was going to buy the Moroccan Oil branded version at $55 a pop but i know what i am like with stuff like this, i either get bored of it, I'm not disciplined enough or i just don't like it the type of product. I will say i find this to be no different to the 'real thing' and for $25 i am very pleased with the results. I do however have a massive distaste for the lid, it opens into a flat surface with a lipped hole, the oil just dribbles everywhere and this is extremely annoying. This being said i am not about to fork out another $30 to gain a pump bottle so i shall have to deal.

Also pictured is The Body Shop All-In-One Cheek Color blusher in Guava. This is a product with great packaging and its a really nice color but i just find it so hard to get on my damned brushes! While it is quite pigmented on the brush i find it hard to blend on the face and hard to get an even smattering of it. I think i need a little more time with this one and a full face base to truly test it but so far I'm finding it quite disappointing and with a $27 price tag i was really expecting more from this product.

Lastly is the Australis Bronzing Powder. I have a feeling this product is a little too dark for my pasty complexion but i think with abit of practice it could be a great contour powder, this is what i purchased it for. Was it the right type of product to go for? I have no idea as i am learning as i go along, but when i reigned in my usage of it and wasn't so heavy handed i started to get the desired look.
