ORIGINAL SOURCE SHOWER GEL

Hello,


This post is going to be about shower gels.


Has anyone else tried the 'Original Source' shower gels?

I get drawn in by their amazing smells, thus far I have tried the Shea Butter and Honey, the Lemon and Tea Tree, and the Mint and Tea Tree.


They lather up beautifully and then do something really odd, I can't put my finger on it though, the smell disappears straight away which is a real shame and having those beautiful lingering scents on your skin all day would be a delight. Then when I turn the water off, no matter how much I have rinsed, they leave an oily residue (not a good residue as in bath oil type product). A drying oily residue that never soaks in.


This is a real disappointment as they are a bargain supermarket item and have so much appeal, if only the formulation was actually creamy like it looked. 


I would like to try some bath/body oils, does anybody have any they would like to recommend?
What are your favourite shower gels?

BLUSH

Hello!!

I thought for this very first proper post I would talk blush.

When I first started watching youtube bloggers and reading blogs there was this little hysteria about NARS blush which I hadn't ever been aware of before! Being the little follower that I am, I jumped on http://au.strawberrynet.com/main.aspx straight away and without a huge amount of consideration bought my very first NARS blush, in the colour Mounia.

As you can now see above, it is a deep burgandy colour with quite a lot of shimmer. Potential with my dark colouring you heard me say...

This is where I was wrong...

IT IS HORRIFIC

Applies like war paint, so heavily pigmented, even the lightest dusting (with every different brush I own) applies in little striped lines...

So I became a NARS (un)fan, and continued to hear all the bloggers and youtubers rave about NARS orgasm, and NARS laguna.

Until yesterday when I was having a little browse of Zoella's blog:

and it recommended me to read:

http://schoee.blogspot.com.au/2009/02/nars-orgasm-dupe-for-2.html

...where Zoella goes on to say that the $4.99AUD Lacura blush in Sunset is a dupe for NARS orgasm.

I live right across the road from an ALDI supermarket which stocks Lacura, and I have dappled in their facewash and facewipes before, but never even considered their makeup.

On my way home from uni today I popped in thinking it would be just my luck that this store didn't carry it...but alas it did.

I am now the proud owner of a very lovely dupe of NARS orgasm , although I still plan on saving my pennies and maybe one day buying the real thing :)

New to this!!

Hi,


I'm Hilary Alice, a 21 year old sports science student/weekend bar tender from Sydney.

I have been a passionate follower of many blogs of different genres for a while now, and as an outlet from the stresses of everyday life I thought I might have a little dabble in blogging myself.


I would love you all to follow me back and tell me how I am doing!


Woo let's do this!!
