Cleanser Experiment: Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser

Cost: $22 (RRP)

Weight: 1 Litre

I have been looking around for a cleanser for awhile now. A lot of reviewers talk about Cetaphil’s Gentle Skin Cleanser (CGSC) and sing it many praises. I was lucky enough to purchase this bottle slightly cheaper than usual at $18.99. Not much of a saving, but still a saving! It also came with 2 travel sized gifts – a 30ml cleanser sample and a Day Moisturizer.

The Background Story

I first heard of Shu Uemura (SU) while watching makeup tutorial videos on Youtube.  A majority of the beauty gurus were reviewing and comparing the SU eyelash curlers and that sparked an interest for me. Then a few months later a friend told me that SU was readily available at the David Jones beauty section. I was stoked and went along to see her splurge on her products. I wasn’t yet sold on his eye shadows as I wanted to try them out and see swatches. And true to my nature, I did a little research on SU both as a person and a brand. He was big on healthy skin and non-harming products for his customers' skin. This became the underlying aspect of his cosmetics. He also believed in enhancing a subject's natural beauty, not artificially creating it using cosmetic products. I say, kudos to Mr Uemura!

Foundation Review : Body Shop Nature’s Minerals

-->

The Facts
Cost: $39.95
Weight: 5g
Packaging: Screw cap lid in a plastic casing. There is a sifter inside for the fine powder to pass through. It's ok, but powder does tend to fall out and fly everywhere.

The Body Shop Nature’s Minerals foundation powder is very fine and soft, applies like a dream to the face and is very buildable. The coverage is light to medium depending on how much you want to apply. I am not fond of foundations that look cakey and heavy so this product was a god-send. When applied, it illuminates the skin very nicely and gives you a bright, glowing face.

Review: Mineral Makeup

Yes, I do realise that this post is slightly behind in the times, but what harm can another opinion do? MM is a great option to choose when you are first starting out as it feels and looks very natural and for people with sensitive skin.
