Hurray for Hurraw! Sun Protection Balm SPF 15

Okay, while spending half of the day playing outside in the sun under an umbrella outside of my house I decided since I'm spending so much time outdoors I might as well update my blog about the sun protection balm that I've been using for awhile now.

Introducing Hurraw! Sun Protection Balm SPF 15!

I've always been on a quest to find lip balms with SPF cause as much as I love the sun, I hate the damages it can cause to the skin, especially the lips as its usually neglected when we apply sunscreen on our body. Imagine my excitement when I discovered Hurraw!'s SPF 15 lip balm.

This is how the packaging looks like. It's oval shaped too ladies so it does not roll away when stored in jeans or on the dresser. Personally I bought the balm because of its shape, I never had an oval-shaped lip balm before! :D

This is how the balm looks like, and it smells heavily of tangerine which is fine with me cause I'm a big citrus fan. And did I say anything about the glide of the balm? Simply heavenly!! Cause it just glides on beautifully and smoothly, no nasty rough glides like some lip balms with SPF has. And because of its glide I keep on reapplying on my lips heh :P Yes and it's also vegan! So it's like awesomeness in awesomeness. Especially with a glide so gooood.

However, the only minor gripe I have with this lip balm is that it gives a white cast after applied. I think it's because of the titanium oxide in the balm but it doesn't really bother me cause I use this lip balm as a base before my lip gloss and the white cast does not affect the colour of the balm, so it's okay for me. :D

Repurchase? Definitely. And other flavours too (:

Hurraw! Sun Balm retails at RM20 but for purchase of 4 balms and above, customers are entitled for 15% discount until 31 August 2011.

Dry Feet? - Fret No More!

Cause you have Natio Spa Foot Revival Cream coming to your rescue!

The feet is one of most neglected part of our bodies and because of our neglect, more often than not we end up with cracks. Not a pretty sight eh?

Full size 110ml 3.7 oz

The cream that comes out is in white in colour, if you look closer you will see some coming out from the opening of the tube. The cream is lightweight and the next morning I would wake up to more moisturised legs. Knowing how well it does wonders for my feet I decided to apply it on my hands too even though its stated foot revival cream :P And you know.. It moisturises nicely too! Talk about multipurpose!

This foot lotion is now a staple on my bedside table when I can just reach out and grab it to moisturise my feet, especially on the heel when it dries out more often! Yay!

Ingredients are as stated in the picture. Natio is an Australian made product and is available locally at Sasa. I got this from the Heavenly set few months ago retailing at RM89. If you guys still see it in Sasa I'd say grab it cause it contains 4 full size product, one foot revival cream, one body scrub, one hand lotion and foot scrub! All FULL SIZED.! Major savings! Yay! Kind to your feet and your wallet too ;o

Quick update before I disappear!

How's your weekend? With all the excitement in Malaysia lately, its hard to not focus on it especially the media hype surrounding it.

Today, I'm here to blog about some hauls and also a tiny little update on P10P. Due to exams and all I haven't had the time to play around with my makeup as much as I want to so when I hit pan on Maybelline's Clear Smooth Shine Free Face Powder, I was surprised as I never expected it to hit pan so quickly. Guess I've been using it much more than I expected.

Maybelline Clear Smooth Shine Free Face Powder in Natural, hitting pan already. Thought my makeup would make a good background drop for the pan, hee. I group my eyeliners, concealers and samples into different baggies for easy retrieval. Or else they'll be scattered all around and I have to rummage through my drawer and most of the time, I can't find them when I need them.

Moving on, my hauls! Sorry for the dark picture, lighting issues ):

Warehouse like sale on Kate and Kanebo. Lipglosses from Kate, very sheer but has a nice colour to it. Kate's Liquid Foundation in OCD, Kanebo's eyeshadow which I use for countouring and a blush, Kate's liquid eyeliner (very sheer don't like), Kate's pencil eyeliner in white (hard to draw on), Kate's liquid eyebrow in Gold, Kate's eyeshadow and also Kanebo's Blanchir Superior White Luster Serum. Can't do proper reviews on them yet cause they are some that I had yet to use. Oh! And the exciting news? The damage for all this lovelies? RM89 only! :D

My CC and Avon spree. The box is from Avon, Cream to Powder Foundation in Natural, Amuse's blush palette in PBP-01 and PBP-02, NYX's blusher in Desert Rose and Pinch (supposedly dupe for NARS Orgasm!!), NYX Cream Blush in Diva, Tea Rose & Boho Chic, Jordana's blusher in Redwood and LA Colours Nail Polish in Luscious Wine (Love the colour!)

I can't do reviews on these yet cause I haven't opened them yet but do drop comments if you wan me to do reviews on them ya. Goodnight world!

P10P Update - With Pictures

I have something to confess. The rules of P10P stated that I could not purchase anymore makeup or skincare related thing that I'm trying to finish and I haven't been finishing all my makeup and skincare as quickly as I hope to be so I've be ridden with guilt. I keep on telling myself it's going to be the last time but it never happens! But seriously, this last spree I joined will be the last! I have chuck up on numerous amounts of foundation and blushers and for the life of me, could not finish before expiry. Big sigh. What about you guys?

Anyway, onto the P10P update.

So far this are the things I finished off that I have pictures of, cause some of them I've already disposed of.

Perfume vial - I don't know what fragrance is this but I love it to the max. It doesn't give a headache and also when applied onto my pulse points, it stays. Not like my other perfumes that stray, this is the only one that stays.

Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizer - Now I know what the rave for this moisturiser is for! It really makes me skin seem oil-free and it's always very nice to touch after application! Bad but I just can't resist! Will repurchase this definitely.

Clinique Liquid Facial Soap - No, no and no! Will definitely not repurchase though it left my skin feeling squeaky clean. The reason is cause this often cause my cheekbones to burn and its definitely not from sensitivity cause my cheekbones aren't flaming red yet. :p

Simple Clear Skin Oil Balancing Facial Scrub - Good to use as a daily scrub but not as a one week kind of thing. Because I use it only on a one week kind of thing I can't tell if its really working so probably won't repurchase.

Vaseline Cocoa Butter Body Lotion - Very creamy and moisturising and not overly perfumed! I LOVE IT! Now, why can't Malaysia just have this range in stock. REPURCHASE REPURCHASE! Yeah, that's how much I like this moisturiser. Also its very light, not too heavy for daily use.

Nivea Calm and Care Deodorant - love it so much till I repurchased it again. The smell is just heavenly but its a little on the heavy side, like all Nivea deodorants are. What I do is roll it on first and walk around to let it dry off before I put my T-shirt on to avoid the white stains on the armpit of my T-shirt.

Avon Magix Face Perfector - Its a good primer and for those days when I don't want foundation I just want sunscreen but be sure to avoid creamy foundations with this primer cause it will slide off. So far its a no repurchase because it sort of burns my face too. Not available locally too.

Boots Lip Care in Strawberry - Meh. Not repurchasing cause the smell puts me off and also its not available locally. I wish that Malaysia will bring in Boots cause their body care range is superb! Oh well, will load up when I go to Thailand this year end.

And that's all. What's your figure? Do share!

Pretty Nails: Etude House Petit Darling Nails in GR603

Really sorry for the lack of updates lately,

has tonnes of work but now its over and I'm back on holidays!

Project 10 pan has been going along smoothly, much better than I thought for now I have finished up 5-6 bottles of body lotion (don't you hate it when the body lotion you can't get in Malaysia finishes and there is no way you can get it unless you go overseas?! I do :P) 2 foundations hit pan, now I'm trying to finish up, 2 lip balm, 1 facial scrub and 1 blush. Yeah I think it's bout all. :D

Okay! Enough with the blab! Today I will be reviewing Etude House's Petit Darling Nail Polish and I would just say, the colour payoff is just lovely. I'm not the kind of person that adores putting colours on my nail because it makes them so much more heavier but ever since I finished my internship I've been getting pretty fond of doing so.

I have to put 3 thick coats to achieve that kind of 'dark' nail polish look that I want and under certain lights it looks almost black. There is a little shimmer of blue in the nail polish and that it what attracted me to the nail polish in the first place. I like shimmery blue stuff! Don't you? :D

Boyfriend complains its too dark but oh what does he know. It is pretty dark indoors but in the sunlight its lovely lovely.

It does not chip easily not does it fade easily and it doesn't have that feel where I think my nail can't breathe, my whole hands feel heavy and unclean so its a pretty good thumbs up for a nail polish. Ingredients are stated as above.

Caught the blue shimmers? This is the best picture I can take closest to the colour, its deep green with blue shimmers all over the polish. I've been wearing it for a week and I do daily chores and it hasn't chip off yet! yay.

Rating: 3/5

Repurchase: Should I run out of it :D

Retails at Etude House for the price of less than RM10. I bought it on sale and it was awhile ago so I can't really remember the price

Stay pretty everybody and have a good weekend. xoxo
