AVON Pore Penetrating Invigorating Scrub - [Product Review]

As you might already know, I was exposed to the Avon brand at a very early age and this is yet another product that I've tried and wanted to share my views on.

This product claims to lift away pore-clogging dirt and excess oil with its pore firming technology.

This product has a light mint scent and is of green colour with small granules. As all face scrubs it has to be massaged onto wet face and rinsed thoroughly.

Personally, the minty scent of this product leaves you under the impression that the product has left your face clean and fresh but it actually is quite harsh to the skin. I have not really felt that it has removed the excess oil or unclogged my pores. If you have felt differently with this product please let me know.

Pros:

- Cheap

- 75ml so helps for travelling

- left my skin smooth and soft

Cons:

- Did not help to unclog pores or remove the excess dirt as it claims to

- Harsh on skin because of tingling sensation

- Not suitable for people with sensitive or dry skin.

I would not repurchase this product as it has not helped me as much as I wished that it had.

BADgal lash mascara by Benefit Cosmetics

When I hear of the BADgal Lash Mascara the promotional phrase "It's as BAD as you want to be" really connects as it should. 

The product claims to be sexy, dramatic, pure unadulterated black mascara for full, voluminous lashes. Famously big brush coats lashes with the thick black formula.

It also claims to be:

- Voluptous
-Voluminous
-Beyond black lashes

This retails for £17.50 in the UK.

I first saw this mascara during one of my numerous tours in Sephora but had not decided to buy me one.

One bright day, a friend gifted me this mascara when she came back from the UK. Upon trying it, I really did find it give my lashes more volume. However, over the uses this faded and I was not that happy with it.

Pros:
-Big brush
-Gives that bold lash look
-Comes out really easily with the makeup remover

Cons:
-Smudges
-Flakes

Unlike many people, I am not a very great fan of this mascara. If you have this mascara and are unsure on how to use it you may refer to the below video...

Yves Rocher - Gel Douche Fleur de Tiare

I personally love most of the Yves Rocher Shower Gels - This is simply because they smell amazing and they are very cheap. I usually buy mine for Rs89 (Mauritian Rupee) which is normally like $2.50 or GBP1.50.

This one in particular - Tiare Flower is a very nice one. It has a marvelous smell which is quite oriental. 

I would definitely repurchase this product. In terms of size, this holds 200ml of product and usually lasts me for two weeks if used twice to three times a day.

Broadway Fried Rice

Last Saturday we went round Port Louis and decided to check out the Champ de Mars Horse Race Track of Mauritius. On our way back to the center of Port Louis we found a restaurant on our left named Broadway and we decided to go in for Lunch.

To find your way to the restaurant, see the link below:

https://www.google.mu/maps/place/Restaurant+Broadway/@-20.1670999,57.5051021,17z/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x217c5055f02ac3db:0xe0a7d08101dc1ebe

It is situated at 36 Rue Pope, Hennessay, Port Louis and it cannot be missed as it is a bright green building.

The restaurant has a very cosy feeling as the furniture is all of white colour combined with table cloth of all sorts of bright colours mainly orange and green.

                       

 My better half and I both decided to take the 'Riz Frite Broadway' as recommended by the waitress and for drink, I took the ice tea.

Our views on both the iced tea and fried rice would be: "Lickinglicious" 

                        

The 'Broadway Riz Frite' is a combination of normal fried rice with a sauteed chicken and vegetables in a delicious sauce. We wouldn't mind eating this again and again.

The service is quite slow but overall in terms of price and in terms of taste of the food we would give it a 10 out of 10. 

The Broadway Fried Rice is sold at Rs160 and one portion is too much for me but well enough for my better half. Hence, you can decide to either share it or have one each.

COVO - HD Picturesque Liquid Foundation SPF 10

Have any one of you ever heard of Covo Cosmetics..? I hadn't either... until one day a lady came walking to me at Sunway Pyramid and asked me to try the Covo HD Picturesque Liquid Foundation SPF 10 for only RM25.

I was very surprised by the price and walked over to the stall to try it..I tried it just under my cheeks and it slid lightly and blended into the colour of my skin perfectly. However, I am quite fair as I usually use beige tone foundations instead of brown tones. The one that matched my skin was the darker shade of that collection: Sun Kissed.

This product claims to be a foundation that creates a soft-focus effect, covering imperfections flawlessly and comes with SPF 10, ideal for daily use or even professional shoots. It contains botanical extracts to boost the skin’s collagen formation while concealing the appearance of wrinkles and pores. The ultra-fine, multi-functional formula virtually fuses with your skin for a smoother, younger and radiant luminosity.

It claims to have the following benefits: 

High Definition
Mineral Enriched
Conceal Wrinkles and Pores
SPF 10
Medium Flawless Finish

My verdict on the following:

(1) Medium Flawless Coverage

Well the product does justice to that. I used to wear it to work and it still stood up until the end of the day.

(2) Conceal wrinkles and pores

Due to its medium coverage the product very well conceals the wrinkles and pores to some extent but we should definitely add a second layer of foundation for it to conceal perfectly. 

The only disadvantage I find with this foundation is the colours you get to choose from and that the price is not always RM25. If I'm not wrong the price is usually around RM89.

This product is a total must buy. Next time I'm going to Malaysia I'm definitely getting a new one.. Thanks for reading.
