Decluttering 105, the last verdict

Here comes to my last day of the mini-decluttering series. I hope you have had enjoyed some of these mini-reviews and I challenge myself to continue to buy less, and use up more. ;) 

La roche posay ceralip - I did not care for it when I first got it, but earlier this Winter, I have been using this religiously as my bed time lip treatment and I enjoyed it a lot. Now, I do have many many many lip balms so I am glad to say goodbye to one of them. But I highly recommend this as a bed time treatment and I might repurchase if I ever feel like replenishing my lip treatment stash.

L'Occitane dessert rose hand cream - this was a limited edition shea butter hand cream and I do like this shea butter hand cream range. This particular scent is divine as well, not the typical rose scent from L'Occitane, bur rather a little bit more sweet.

Clarins eye revive beauty flash - a decent eye cream in my opinion. I found it do work quite well for de-puffing. I might repurchase in the future. I just don't know if I like this better than the Origins Ginzing eye cream for day time.

Befine eye treatment - I like the Befine cleanser, but this eye treatment? I couldn't care less. I hate the pump because it always pumps out too much. And I just didn't find it special by any means. I was happy that I could get rid of it.

Boscia green tea blotting sheets - I like these although I don't think they are worth the price tag. You can find similar things in the Asian market for much cheaper price (without the green tea scent or the benefits it clams to have). I personally do not believe that blotting sheets can give you any anti-oxidant results, but I cannot deny this is a luxurious blotting sheet that I am always tempting to repurchase.

Therapeutic clay mint mask - this is a mask prescribed to me by my dermatologist and I do like it. I found it to help my blemishes heal faster. I couldn't repurchase this product here in Canada but I will continue to use up my purifying clay masks in my stash and possibly trying to find a similar one to this.

Elizabeth Arden 8-hour cream lip protectant - I love this because it works! My lips are chronically dry and chapped and I found this lip balm to work wonders. Also, it has SPF in it so that's a bonus. Will repurchase in the future. 

Dorissiderm A. spot - basically another spot treatment I have tried. This brand is not available here in Canada but it's being sold in either Watson's or Manning's (sorry I couldn't remember exactly) in Hong Kong. I think it's okay, nothing special or spectacular.

Caudalie hand and nail cream - I don't know if it like this or not..? I am not a huge fan of the scent, but I can't say I won't repurchase for sure. I think it's okay but nothing that blows my mind away.

Surprising Finds!!!

Have you ever gone shopping and then found stuffs that you didn't expect to come across?? That feeling is just like discovering some sorts of treasures!!!!! And what makes it even better??? How about a discounted price?? =)

I was shopping at Rexall (a Canadian drug store) the other day, and I actually have never been to a Rexall before (I usually shop at Shoppers Drug Mart) but I was going there to look for NYX products specifically. But what I found in the end was even more exciting.........

OMG, I was literally screaming inside my heart when I saw the Befine exfoliating cleanser!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I never knew that Rexall carries Befine products. In fact, I don't even know if they do because these Befine products are in the clearance section and there isn't another section for their products in the store. And since they are in the clearance section, they are all discounted!!!!!!!

I first heard about the Befine exfoliating cleanser from Ingrid, who is missglamorazzi on youtube and I think she got a sample of this cleanser in her Birchbox and she loves it. After that, I heard a few more girls on youtube raved about this cleanser and I was really interested to try it out. However, at that time, I couldn't really find a way to purchase this cleanser and I was telling myself that unfortunately this is another product that us Canadian don't get to try...=(

I guess I was wrong then!! And I'm so glad that I was wrong!!!!

Of course without any hesitation, I grabbed the exfoliating cleanser. I was thrilled when I got home and checked its retail price online. It is supposed to be $25 and I only paid about $12-14 for it (sorry I can't remember exactly the price and I don't have the receipt anymore)!!!!!

I have already used it once since I couldn't wait to try it out!! It is more abrasive than I thought it would be and you definitely need to massage the cleanser with a light hand. Since I have only used it once, I really don't want to comment too much yet. But maybe I will do a more detailed review on it after I have gathered more thoughts about the product.

I have also decided to pick up the Eye Brightening Treatment with avocado oil and it retails for $30 and I only paid about $17 for it!!! I have started to use it in conjunction with my Olay cucumber eye gel and I haven't tried it long enough to say anything about the product. However, I must say I don't really like the pump. I thought I would like the packaging since it is more sanitary but the pump is so hard to use. It always pumped out more products than I need and I have tried to push it slowly and gently but it is not cooperating.





That's why people say you never know what you are up to when you are shopping~ =P
