Here are the products I've used up in July:

☑ Alberto VO5 Hot Oil Hair Treatment

I had higher hopes about this product... I guess plain old olive oil could do the job even better.

Repurchase? no

What I'm currently using to replace it: Alberto VO5 Deep Nourishing Moisture Intensive Mask 3 Minute Mask

 ☑ L'Oréal EverPure Moisture Conditioner (15 mL)

It did NOT prevent my hair color from fading.

Repurchase? no

What I'm currently using to replace it: Pantene Color Preserve Volume Hair Solutions Conditioner

 ☑ L'Oréal EverPure Moisture Shampoo (15 mL)

It did NOT prevent my hair color from fading.

Repurchase? no

What I'm currently using to replace it: Pantene Color Preserve Volume Hair Solutions Shampoo

☑ Baby Wipes Thick and Fluffy (75 wipes)

These come from the dollar store, so I didn't really expected them to be "thick and fluffy"... and they weren't. But I guess they do the job anyway, and I like the baby powder scent.

Repurchase? yes

What I'm currently using to replace it: -

☑ Bioré Steam Activated Cleanser (7 mL)

I'm a little disappointed as I haven't experienced anything special with this cleanser.

Repurchase? no

What I'm currently using to replace it: mark. That's Deep Purifying Cleanser with sugar maple/black willow bark

 ☑ Dove Ultimate Go Fresh Energizing Grapefruit & Lemongrass scent

It smells great and it does the job quite well.

Repurchase? yes

What I'm currently using to replace it: Secret Clinical Strength Light and Fresh scent (sample size 14g)

 ☑ Glamour Gal Shower Gel with the essence of roses, violets, lavender & musk

I have no idea where this shower gel comes from (it was a gift from my mother) but I would definitely not repurchase it. It is quite a normal shower gel, not to mention that I'm in love with my Caress Whipped Soufflé Body Wash =D

Repurchase? no

What I'm currently using to replace it: Caress Whipped Soufflé Body Wash

May's most used (late!)

I've decided to stop posting my monthly favorites because I realized that didn't really have any favorite product. In fact, I was posting the products that I have used the most in the month, not really my favorites. So I have decided to post my monthly most used, which is simpler for me, and also, more true!

I know, I'm so late for this, but I had to care for the kitten and it's pretty hard to take pictures or type on the computer when you have to hold the little one by one hand because he won't stop sucking your fingers LOL.

April favourites

2. Maybelline Lash Stiletto Mascara in Very Black: my current HG mascara, but for how long? LOL. Read my review here.
3. mark. Mist Opportunity Multi-Tasking Refresher Kiwi/Grapefruit: I'm not a fan of face mists, but I want to use this one up, so I use it as a toner.
4. Annabelle Galaxy Eyeshadow Palette in Shooting Star: it's an amazingly pigmented eyeshadow palette but sadly, it was LE. If I knew that, I would have grabbed more colors! See my FOTD using it here.

Mist Opportunity Multi-Tasking Refresher kiwi/grapefruit

That's Deep Purifying Cleanser sugar maple/black willow bark

I was waiting for the perfect occasion to try Mark products because I think they are a little expensive (well, more than what I'm used to pay for cosmetics or skin care), & it came! One of my friend told me they have the best makeup products. I can't wait to try them!

Another purchase I made is the Anew Clinical Advanced Dermabrasion System.

I got it for a little less than 25$, but today I realized I could have bought it for only 15$... anyway. The original price is 35$, so when I was it finally on sale, I couldn't wait anymore! So basically, this thing has four different levels. You use it on wet skin, just like a scrub, but no more than 2-3 times a week, & you have to wait two days between applications. You start with level 1 for 2 weeks, then proceed with level 2,3 & 4 using each for 2 weeks. After level 4, you let your skin rests for 2 weeks, then re-start the whole thing. I read a lot of reviews on the Internet before purchasing this product & most of them where really positive. I've been looking for a dermabrasion system for a while now, so I decided to give it a try. I tried level 1 today. It's very soft, just a little rougher than a regular scrub. I'll keep you up with my progresses.
