The Body Shop Cosmetopia Digest   Saturday, November 02, 2013

I used up eight full-sized products in October and two samples - 10 in all. Four of them were sheet or packet masks/patches. Nor did I get around finishing up any makeup products. Here's what I've run through:
1. The Body Shop Moringa Body Butter: I love The Body Shop body butters and if I had a favourite, it would be Moringa for the mild fragrance and the quick absorption rate. I have too many body butters to finish, though, and will keep trying new ones.
2. No7 Protect And Perfect Beauty Serum: Detailed review here.

I received the No7 Protect and Perfect Beauty Serum in my August 2013 Glamabox and have been using it two times daily religiously. As it was a full-size tube, it has lasted quite well and I expect it to finish by the last week of October.

If there was one brand I had to pick as a favourite in the "all-round makeup and skin care category", I'd pick Lancome. They've already come out with my HG eye-cream, my HG mascara and a lip lacquer I love.
I've been wanting a Rouge in Love lipstick for a while now after I tested one out and it lasted through a greasy pesto. Each time, the lighting works such that I end up with a shade too dark (thanks for taking them off my hands, Mum. Not that you had a choice).
This time, however, I struck gold. I picked:

I had swapped a beauty box with the lovely Elle back in April. Among the things she sent me was a No7 spring beauty bag, which contained a No7 Extreme Length mascara, a stunning lipstick, an eyeshadow and a day cream. She also sent me a MUA eyeliner in Shade 5.
