HAND CREAM
THE BODY SHOP Almond Daily Hand & Nail Cream |
In colder months I get really dry hands, so I need to keep them moisturised and soft. This is the best for home use. It smells good and the texture is perfect, creamy but it really gets absorbed into the skin quickly. It's too big for my bag unfortunately. The subdued yellow is a nice colour but I really don't like the rest of the package design graphics. So I bought the product solely for its use.
BODY SPRAY
THE BODY SHOP Pomegranate Hydrating Body Spray |
A burst of spring.
I spray this on my face and neck whenever I feel like a pick-me-up. It's so fresh and fruity! The scent lingers on my skin and in the air. In the morning it's great as a body spray, instead of using strong-smelling perfumes.
FACE WASH & MAKE UP REMOVER
SHISEIDO Naturgo Foam Face Wash & Make Up Remover |
I asked a friend to quickly translate it for me after I completed the drawing, and he said it was for "washing the face" and "removing make up". Wow! He specifically said it's NOT a cleanser (which was what I was using it as). It's almost finished now but atleast I'll make use of it properly for my last few washes. I swear once I used shampoo as a face wash...
PRIMER
NAPOLEON PERDIS Auto Pilot Pre-Foundation Skin Primer |
It smells really nice! And I think it helps keep make up on? I don't use it often at all... I just use it for special occasions. I believe that skin needs to breathe most of the time and naturally healthy complexion is always the best.
PRIMER BRUSH
NAPOLEON PERDIS Primer Brush g19 |
This brush feels so amazing.
Try it with the Napoleon Auto Pilot Pre-Foundation Skin Primer! It feels so silky on your face.
EYE SHADOW
L'OREAL Color Appeal Holographic, Blue Xenon |
A metallic steel blue.
HAIR WAX
GATSBY Hair Wax |
Keeps my fringe in place. One of three hair products I use for teasing my hair.

FLOWER IN A VASE
GERBERA in an Ikea Vase |
A single pink gerbera.
Gerberas always last forever, and they come in the most amazing range of colours.
SUNSCREEN
SHISEIDO Super UV Sun Block |
Face sunscreen.
Good quality, feels good on your skin, easy to apply, subtle sweet nostalgic sunscreen smell, cute and small packaging too. SPF 50+
CHOCOLATE
LINDT Lindor White Chocolate |
Chocolate balls of choice.
Creamy white chocolate. Best sucked so your teeth stay clean and it tastes even better melted in your mouth!
COMB
Wide Toothed Comb |
The only comb or brush I need at home.
I use it before I shower to untangle knots in my hair, in the shower when I condition my hair, before bed, and once before I leave the house.
EYELINER
AUSTRALIS Long-lasting Retractable Eyeliner in Chocolate and Midnight |
The same eyeliner in brown and black.
I use brown for a more natural, "laid back" day and black for every other day. It definitely stays put! And hardly smudges off. It's retractable so you never have to sharpen it.
DIARY
MOLESKINE 12mth Daily Planner |
My yearlong diary.
One day per page. Hard cover, rounded corners, includes an attached bookmark and pocket! Survives the whole year. Experiences everything you do. It's perfect.
HAIR CRÈME SERUM
PANTENE PRO-V Night Miracle, Leave on Crème Serum |
Leave in hair treatment for when you sleep.
Smells nice, leaves hair feeling silkier than before, and leaves no visible residue that mean hairdressers will complain about. Works well on dry ends.
LIP BALM
PALMER'S Cocoa Butter Formula Lip Balm |
For unchappable lips.
An SPF 15 stick that is smooth, contains vitamin E, and has a pleasant smell and texture that is just plain unannoying.
HANDBAG CREAM
NIVEA Creme, 30mL |
A tiny tin of cream in my bag.
I use it on my hands when they are dry, and sometimes a little on my face too. For economic reasons, I also have the giant in comparison 200mL tin to replenish the mini 30mL one. Things are cute when they look the same but are in two very different sizes.
NAIL POLISH
RIMMEL 60 Seconds Nail Polish, Sky High |
A turquoise nail polish.
Vibrant colour, 1 second applicator brush that's so easy to use! Nails chipped in a day.
BLUSH
AUSTRALIS Rosy Cheek Blush |
Favourite blush.
It's pink, looks natural on my skin, and stays on my cheeks all day.

FACE SCRUB
Neutrogena Deep Clean Gentle Scrub |
Twice a day face scrub.
It smells fresh and citrusy, like Fanta, so sweet it wakes me up in the early morning. It's a gentle exfoliator that works great on the unrelenting blackheads. Leaves skin definitely feeling softer. It foams up just enough so I don't feel that I need to use a cleanser. I tend to use a toner only at night... if I'm not too sleepy and can actually remember to use it.
DENTAL FLOSS
Oral-B Essential Floss |
Number 1 choice of dental floss.
It's silky (doesn't get stuck awkwardly in your teeth), smooth and effective flossing guaranteed, not minty in taste.
EYE SHADOW
KATE Gradical Eyes |
My day-to-day eye shadow.
First I use the eye base as a primer on my upper lids, then I apply the deep color on top. It's a rich dark brown, with a little bit on shimmer. It goes on smoothly and lasts fairly long, eventually fading out after an 8 hour day. The case design is compact, geometric, stylish and makes me think of film noir. The brush is really handy for reapplying when you're out.
