What: Problogger Event 2012 (#pbevent)
When: 12 – 13 October 2012
Where: Etihad Stadium
What it was about: It was a blogging conference organised by the Problogger, Darren Rowse. Hundreds of bloggers of different niches and states descended upon Melbourne for a weekend that is all about blogging.

It was a great weekend for me. There’s still so much to learn, even though I’ve been blogging for a while now.

Here are 50 things I took away from the #pbevent.

Often I get emails requesting for recommendations on affordable beauty products. Beauty products that work well AND will not leave the wallet screaming on the way out of the shop (don’t we know what the latter is like, eh? ;))

Here are some of my top picks, categorised under $10, under $20 and under $50. You’ve probably seen some of them on Beautyholics Anonymous before, but I like them too much not to give them multiple mentions. 🙂

A few months ago, I tweeted a picture of a number of beauty products I purchased at Priceline. One of them was the L’Oréal Paris Elvive Extraordinary Oil. I received a number of comments asking me the difference between that and L’Oréal Professional’s Mythic Oil. Now I’ve been using the Mythic Oil for about a year now (I’m currently on my second bottle. I started on it before the Extraordinary Oil was launched in the market), and I thought it might be a good idea to compare the two.

First of all, these are hair oils. They work like serum for the hair, nourishing it, giving it a glossy shine whilst trying to keep frizz out. Interestingly, the Extraordinary Oil is by L’Oréal Paris (consumer use) and the Mythic Oil by L’Oréal Professional (salon use). Both are under the parent company L’Oréal but one’s sold at pharmacies and supermarkets, while the other only at specialty stores and salons.

So, what’s the difference between the two hair oils? They sure look the same, don’t they? 😉
