☆Beauty Products That I Repurchased☆

Hi bubblies!

How's your day?

Hope everything stays gorgeous! :D

In this post I just want to share some of the things that I've repurchased. 

You know.. sometimes it's "something something" to know someone actually would spend their money for the same thing, over again. 
I bet it's because they love the product so much or it's just they think it's worth the money. hem. Don't you think? :P

So, here's mine!

Urban Decay 24/7 Glide On Eye Pencil in Ransom

I've done the first impression through swatches in my previous post >>  a Mini Haul + Swatches :)

Well.. have you seen this gorgeous beautiful purple color in person? AH.MAY.ZING.

It's a metallic-y purple color that compliment any eye colors that you have. To be honest, people raved so much about the staying power and so on.. BUT it does fade on my lids or bleed on my lower lash line. Yeah.. -_-" I guess I'm the only one that said that. And I don't know why.. :(

Aside from the staying power that failed on me, I fell in love with this pure honesty because of the color pay off. It's just undeniably beautiful and one of a kind color. *_*

Look how I've used this thing up. It's nearly the half size of my thumb! >,<"

When I bought this, I don't know how much I'm gonna LOVE this. But, now I know.. I already re-order this thing and can't wait to hold the new one on my hand. :P

Revlon Photoready Concealer Stick in 002

Okay, I don't know why I never made a review with this product. I already use this religiously as my under eye concealer. It's creamy, blend easily and the color suit me pretty well. It's affordable, easily reached at any drugstore, has SPF 20 in it.. What can you ask for? It's not good for blemishes though. But it could hide acne scars, discolorations, or hyper pigmentation. I quite liking it for that.

See? I've gone through one, and my second one is nearly dead and gone. -_-"

It's also in a miserable looking condition, because I've used this pretty much everywhere and everytime.

 I hope you can see, because it blends nicely on my skin.

For this particular shade, there's a hint of pinky undertone in it. That's why I love it as my under eye concealer and it just brighten up my dark circles.

Etude House Baking Powder Crunch Pore Scrub

I've done a little review with this product here >> Battle of the Pore Minimizing Scrub

I began to love exfoliating every 2 or 3 times in a week because I see a tremendous result for my skin. My face is an oil mess, and this scrub do a good job to exfoliate or deep clean my skin into the pores. I don't suggest this for dry or sensitive skin though. It's almost strip down your natural oil and making it drier. Well.. but it does cleans up my pores and make my skin feel tightens.

 I like this when I use this almost like a face mask, after I scrub the product into my face, I leave it until it dry and feel tight, and then rinse it off. It kinda makes your skin thirsty and dry afterwards though, but that's what makes my skincare or moisturizer application become fully absorbed into skin. I love it. And suggest this to oily skin person that need a good exfoliator as well for tightening your pores.

Maybelline Magnum Mascara

Talking about memories of old times.. This is my FIRST EVER mascara that I've tried in my whole makeup life. I always use this back then and always repurchase this. 

I still liking it A LOT, but for my passion with makeup lately I need to try and adventure with the new one. This is just a backup that I owned and once I intend to sell this on my BLOG SALE. But I change my mind though. :P I still keeping this and it still sitting there as my backup mascara in my stash. That's how I LOVE this thing. :D

Nail Polishes from the Face Shop

( left ) Nail polish - dark navy

( right ) Nail Strengthener

For this particular reason of repurchases, just because it's cheap. :P And whenever I got into their counter, I manage to snatch one without thinking much.

But one nail polish color that hooked me up is the dark navy one. This color is what I use constantly during the university years! In the picture above, that is my second tube! And how often you ran out of ONE single nail polish, ladies? That must be something something, right? lol.

The Body Shop Body Mist in Moonflower

 This is one of the thing that I don't know how to describe. The scents is just unique to me. I've repurchased this several times back then. How often? that's my FORTH bottle! >,<" I'm crazy. 

I know it has been discontinued from a while back. I got this last bottle also with the help of online shop, and they mark the price until twice more expensive than the original price! -_-" 

I like it so much, that's why I'm willing to spend that much money.  

*look at my wallet* *cry in the corner*

Bath & Body Works Goodies

I don't wanna say much, but look at how many stock that I have. I love LOVE all of the scents that I have in the picture, that's why I'm afraid that I ran out of them. >,<"

Sea Cotton Island - shower gel

Japanese Cherry Blossom - body lotion

Black Raspberry Vanilla - body lotion

Japanese Cherry Blossom - anti bacterial moisturizing hand lotion

For this next beauty products, call me crazy.. but I think I'm gonna repurchase these until the rest of my life. 

#little hyperbole -_-" but I've already use this since years and years ago, and couldn't find anything better than all of these.

well, I could change my mind in the future though.. who knows? :P

L'oreal Dermo Expertise GENTLE Lip & Eye Makeup Remover

Hands down, this is the best oil base makeup remover that actually removes waterproof makeup without a lot of effort like the others. LOVE this. Still repurchase this. Recommend this. ♥

Dove Damage Therapy Hair Fall Treatment & Intense Care

Maybe you've seen these in other IBB members that swore by this thing lately. Actually, I've used this since years and years ago and it works wonderfully for my hair. Since the packaging was still pink and they already change them maybe 10 times until now. You'll see the result after only use it once. LOVE this. LOVE this. and oh.. did I say I LOVE THIS? 

yes, it is :)  ♥

That's it all of the products that I could think of now.

What's yours?

Let me know what you think!

Good day all!

NOTE: all of the product were purchased by my own money and reviewed by honest thought. It's just my way to give you an opinion in buying product that you considered to purchase. Be a smart buyer! Hope you like my reviews. 

Battle of the Pore Minimizing Scrub : L'oreal Derma- Genesis VS Etude House Baking Powder

I'm into a pore minimizing scrub lately. And I've been searching for the affordable products that I could grab easily. These two brands, however, caught my eyes and decided to give it a try.

Oya, I need to remind a thing. I'm comparing this two brands not because I want to "disgrace" either one of them. It's simply because I purchased these almost at the same time and I just test what works for me the best. It could be different result for you. 

It took me about two months just to make sure I get the best result for each of the product. First month just trying the L'oreal, and another month switch to Etude's.

All is simply my honest opinion through my experience :)

L'oreal Derma-Expertise Derma Genesis Pore Minimizing Smoother Scrub 100ml/3.3oz 

It claims : 

• Formulated with gentle purifying clay & micro-beads to exfoliate dead skin cells
• Contains a natural cleansing agent to deeply cleanse skin without affecting its moisture balance
• Blended with BHA to naturally enhance daily cellular renewal
• Shrinks pores & refines skin’s texture
• Skin appears sleeker, brighter & fresher
• Non-comedogenic, dermatologist-tested
• To use: Apply daily to damp face & lightly massage in circular motion. Rinse thoroughly, avoid getting into eyes

And you can purchase online at StrawberryNET . link to the product --> click me!
However, you can get it from any L'oreal counter or Watsons, like I do.

Through the packaging, it's just a regular squeeze tube with approximately 16cm tall. It's a decent size for travel or use daily at home. With this, a little goes along the way. You just need a teeny tiny amount of product just to wash the whole face. From the instruction at the back of the package, I assume to use this daily.. and it is. It's a lightweight feel to clean your face whenever you need it.

For the texture, it's like a foam almost like a cream or a paste with a red micro beads which supposed to exfoliate dead skin cells.  

From the picture, you can see that this formula is not gonna get foamy, at all. When you mixture with water, it's just gonna get more liquidy texture. For me, it's new. Because I believe it's not gonna dried out your skin like a soap can do. Another challenge from this texture, it's not easily clean with a swipe of water, but you need to keep swiping it off until no more product in your face.

It has a fresh floral scents, not too overwhelming but acceptable for someone who doesn't like strong smell. 

I use this almost twice a day for a month. For the result, hmm.. I guess it doesn't do much for me. except having a fresh and clean face after everytime I use it. I gotta tell you, it doesn't change the size of my pores or control the excess oil from all day activity. It pretty much the same as face cleanser. In fact, I still prefer my regular foaming facial wash, Clean & Clear, and it is way  more cheaper.

Etude House Baking Powder Crunch Pore Scrub

It claims :

Baking Powder Crunch Pore Scrub is a scrub cleanser formulated with baking powder to penetrate, exfoliate and cleanse skin deep within pores to remove makeup and residues. Also contains Peppermint to soothe skin.

This product contains 100% natural fragrance, and is dye-free.

Each box contains 24 pouches.

Vol. 7g x 24 pouches = 168g (5.92 fl.oz.)

And you can purchase online at Indonesian multiply market. link to the product --> click me!

This time, I'm taking the traditional way. Baking soda is famous for it's way to shrinken the size of the pores. But I'm just too "skeptical" if I have to put the real baking soda into my face. Hais, I'm scared.. hehehe. So I'm just searching for a product that made to be a facial wash and formulated with baking soda. For coincidence, Etude House made one. And the cute packaging is always a plus for me. ^_____^

It's a triangular shape box filled with the actual product in it, 24 pouches of facial scrub. The pouches also shape triangle, so darn cute! And that is a huge "pro points" for me, in why they made it this way --> This aren't meant to be used daily! It says that "Use it for 1-2 times per week". It meant to deep cleaning your face weekly. ( NOTE : for the regular wash, I'm using Clean & Clear )

For the texture, it's like a foam wash, and I don't see any micro beads like L'oreal does have. But you know when you feel it, it's like the texture of baking soda ( a finer size than a micro beads, almost like sand texture ). And it has a lemony fresh scents.

And for the usage weekly, I got help by this bad boy right here.

no no no! not the squarepants! LOL!

Yup. I believe it help me exfoliate more of my dead skin cells. You can purchase it anywhere at drugstore, I personally bought it at SOGO MKG ( Mal Kelapa Gading ). My face felt really really clean and much smoother. It does help reduce my oiliness in regular day. To be honest, I don't see any different at the size of my pores. 

Make me realize that.. You know, there is a word saying, "Pore size is genetic, and there is nothing you can do to make your pores permanently smaller. Do not fall for claims stating a product will reduce your pore size. There are, however, tricks you can employ to temporarily minimize the appearance of pore size."

Here is I found a great article related to :

My Thoughts 

Yeap. Maybe you can say from the reading that Etude House Baking Powder Crunch Pore Scrub is the winner to me. And I'm gonna put in the list as my weekly routine. 

That's it my review.

Let me know what you think!

Good day all!
