Operation Use It Up

It seems to take me forever to use up products as I'm always getting distracted by trying out new stuff. But I finally managed to finish a small clutch of products this week.

1. Origins Soothing Sea Salts: I actually purchased this more than 4 years ago but just never got around to using it. It has even moved house with me twice! Surprisingly, the salts still maintained their aroma quite well although I didn't find them to be exceptionally soothing. I don't think Origins makes this anymore.

2. Dove Oil Foam Cleansing: I wrote an earlier review here. It does a decent job of removing most makeup except for waterproof mascara but I still follow up with a facial cleanser to ensure that my skin is thoroughly cleansed.

3. The Body Shop Ice Blue Shampoo: This dried out my hair and left it in tangles. Definitely will not repurchase!

4. Lucido-L Designing Pump Hair Jelly (Airy Keep): This works quite well at taming the frizziness and flyaway strands.

5. Penhaligon's Quercus Bath & Shower Gel: From the toiletries kit at the Leela hotel that we stayed in Kerala, this had quite a nice scent and didn't dry out my skin.

6. H2O+ Raspberry Guava Body Balm: I liked the light, non-greasy texture and sweet fruity scent of this body balm.

7. Dolly Wink Liquid Eyeliner: This was a daily staple of mine for the past few months as it's so quick and easy to use. It lasts extremely well throughout the day. Unfortunately, Watsons no longer stocks it at the moment, although a close substitute is Heroine Make's Smooth Liquid Liner.
