PowderBuff Girl Nails Ados

This is one of my favourite pink nail polishes - Ados's Tear 69. It's REALLY cheap, but I just love the colour. I'm not usually a "pink nails" person, but isn't this adorable?

The polish itself could be a tad more opaque (three coats is torture for me), and perhaps dry a little faster.

Three coats, natural light, Rimmel top coat.

I bite my nails a lot. And the skin around them. So, uh, sorry about my lack of proper manicure and weird fingers.

Since I'm cleverly thinking ahead, do you think I should add this to my first giveaway (a brand new bottle, not my used one, of course)? I'm trying to buy stuff for it, um, gradually; you know... a nail polish today, an eyeshadow tomorrow. Mostly because I feel like I'm spending less when I spread my spendings out over a longer period of time. Yes, I know it's silly.

PowderBuff girl vs Farmasi Berries Body Scrub

If you've read my "woe is me" post from last week, you might be aware that I got myself a brand new body scrub.

Yup, this one.

It smells absolutely divine (raspberry-divine) and looks a bit like yoghurt with a tad of ground coffee in it. It's not really yoghurt and those scrubbing particles ain't really coffee grounds, they're apricot kernel bits.

It's non-foamy and even though I know some people like that, I would much rather have something that lathers up on me. And there could've been more apricot kernel bits, if you ask me. So, I mixed in some ground coffee. (Yes, I do have a jar of coffee in my bathroom, doesn't everyone?) The coffee made it smell even better. It's crazy!

Just for the sake of trying it out, I actually used it without my added particles. It was nice and hydrating and smelled good, but it just didn't do its scrubbing job. Once I stuck my hand in my coffee jar, though...
I loved it. If it were a foamy-lathering scrub I would love it more (oh, and I do wish the lovely smell would linger on me just a bit longer).

All that aside, I probably wouldn't buy this again. Despite the awesome smell, I do love my bubbles, can't help it. And even though I do have a jar of ground coffee in my bathroom, I'd much rather have the product contain enough scrubbiness without me having to add stuff.

PowderBuff girl vs Rival de Loop toner for sensitive skin

Ok, this is something I bought because I needed a toner and was pretty much completely broke. It was really cheap and most of the reviews I could find (these are in German, though) were quite positive, so I thought I'd get it.

It contains cucumber and ginko biloba extracts, but it doesn't smell like either of them. I can't quite pin down what exactly it smells like, but the scent is quite strong and, uh, weird, but luckily the smell vanishes from one's face quite fast. I'm sure some people may find it pleasant, but my first thought was  that it smelled like hospital rooms. 

The really weird thing is that it's foamy. When I first got it on my face I spent about 5 minutes examinig my cotton pad and wondering whether I had forgotten to rinse off my face wash. Nope, it's just foamy and I don't like it. I don't even know why, I just have this weird little voice in my head telling me that toners shouldn't be foamy. 

And those German reviews I linked before all claim that it makes one's face feel really clean and smooth; mine felt weird and sticky. 

Luckily I have a friend from work who really likes this, and uses it for pretty much everything (she also claims that it's a rather good eye make up remover - I'm too much of a sissy to get toners anywhere near my eyes, so I can't really say whether that's true or not). So this bottle will go to her, because as much as I dislike it, I hate letting things go to waste.
