Rejoiced

Seeing as how I have never had anything delivered to my house before, I thought I'd try the cheapest Beauty Box option first (you know, in case it gets lost in the mail or there's no one to receive it and they leave it on the doorstep where my cats would pee on it etc.)

Mod Box

Now, for those of you who have used GlossyBox or similar subscriptions, this one would be a wee bit different. You get to choose 3 items across 3 categories and it is commitment-free. As in no subscription needed. You choose, you pay, you get a beautiful box of beauties in 4 days. I purchased mine on the 19th and it arrived today on the 23rd (over the weekend). 

AND its only RM15 (RM 9 + shipping RM6).

My choices?

1. Ronasutra mineral makeup 

I'm currently using bare minerals so I'm pretty much in LOVE with anything "mineral-y" aka not your average compact powder/foundation. But as we all know Bare Minerals pretty much leaves your wallet bare as well. 

I tried this on without primer/moisturiser etc and I think it would work well if you suffer from rosacea/redness or just to cover the dark circles under your eyes. Not so much if you have blemishes to cover. Bare minerals doesn't make them disappear completely (i hate using concealer/liquid foundation because it leaves your skin feeling tight and oily) but it covers a lot more than this one. 

Pros

- Shades available are more suitable for asian skin (especially malay)
- Full size product is RM 48 available here

- Feels light on the skin 

- May give better coverage if you do prep your skin with primer first.

- Best for light-medium coverage.

- Covers redness and dark circles fairly well

Cons

- not as good as bare minerals :p

- Uses sponge instead of a brush so you may end up wasting a lot of product on the sponge provided

- Barely covers blemishes.

2. Human Nature Strengthening Shampoo

I admit I didn't think this review through. To give a fair assessment I'll need to use it for a few days but based on tonights washing... I love how it feels on my head in the shower!

I ordered the peppermint scent and it leaves my scalp all cool and tingly and also makes my scalp feels really clean. As for the strengthening bit, we'll wait a few days ya?

If you're into natural and organic products, this site may be worth a look-see! Human Nature Natural Shampoo is available at that site for RM 49.90 for a 500ml bottle! :)

3. Dermedex - Biotox Cleanser & Refining Cream 

I'm usually very picky about what I put on my face due to it being sensitive and acne-prone. But I chose this product because it specifically targets acne and open pores and its a 2-pack deal. The facial cleanser can also be used as an overnight mask and that's what I'm trying on now!

So again, I apologise for this horribly planned post but I'll be happy to also post about non-beauty box related beauty products that I am currently and have always used if you like! :D

Hope this was *somewhat* helpful. I promise the site will be better. Any constructive crticism is more than welcome!

Muchos love!
