I just picked up some from my local big w (200ml) for $8-$9?and noticed its made in Germany (apparently its the best one) my grandmother and my mum used it and when she saw I got this she was ecstatic! I love this classic cream and will continue to use this until the stop making this stuff lol.even though I have oily skin I still use the stuff I just adjust the amount I use on different body parts eg: only alittle on the face,a lot on the legs etc.i like the plastic tub super easy to use and the smell is oh so Devine!

Treatments -Garnier - Dark Spot Treatment

The pic shown looks different,mines a white tube,maybe because iv got the Australian version?this is my second one iv gone through. Iv got sun damage on my cheeks and I don't expect them to go away but my skin tone looks more uniform brighter and clearer,it doesn't cause breakouts on me,in fact i use this cream to not aggravate my existing acne any further, it's not greasy and it has no residue on my skin.it sinks in quickly and for $17 its a good price.my first one: the lid snapped off after about 2 months and the product changed to a rusty shade and smelled hence the second purchase,beside my mishap with the packaging the product inside is brilliant

I just went out today and bought my second one I love the price $12. easy squeezy tube and screw top lid,it's creamy not runny and it absorbs quickly without residue on me,smells Devine I don't know if it does any "line smoothing" but I do look more refreshed and awake.

Cleansers -Sukin - Cream Cleanser
rated 4 of 5
Mum85 1/19/2013 1:33:00 AM

I love most of the range from sukin.it works great even on my oily face but I don't think it's good enough on its own to get my makeup/sunscreen off.if I didn't wear makeup for the day I go straight to this.its lovely and I never breakout from it

Mascara -Maybelline - Great Lash Mascara
rated 1 of 5
Mum85 1/18/2013 1:35:00 AM

I bought this because I needed a new mascara and with most mags favouring this as a cult classic product I thought I'd get it,when I applied it it took ages for it to dry and it later smeared on my under eyes,it made my lashes look thin and sparse.it stung my eyes if I rubbed my eyes.such a terrible product it's not even worth it's cheap price

Treatments (Eye) -Olay - Definity Eye Illuminator
rated 2 of 5
Mum85 1/16/2013 11:15:00 PM

I got this and used it till I finished it all,about 2 months.sometimes when I applied it,it would be sticky and ball up,sometimes it would stung and I'd get a burning sensation? I don't think it done anything for my minor dark circles except for the illuminator or sparkles they put in (which of course cones off when you wash your face) I'd end up red in my eye area all the time.i thought that this was the products way of telling me its working? Either way I should have to have red sore skin from a $40 eye cream! I want to nourish my eye area not feel like I'm destroying it Not purchasing again! Such a waste of money

rated 5 of 5
Mum85 1/16/2013 11:08:00 PM

This was my go to facial suncreen for years but had to change as my skin no longer could do chemical sunscreens,when I was using it,I loved it not very greasy,protected me well,no white cast or residue on my face,easy to wash off at the end of the day.the packaging is easy to use with the pump (hygienic) I think I paid $15? Very good value

Mum85 1/16/2013 11:00:00 PM

Iv bought this several times now but iv always bought it in a gift pack (more cost effective) I don't think it's done any "lifting" but its a nice serum overall and doesn't break me out

Loose Powders -Australis - Ready Set Go Finishing Powder
rated 5 of 5
Mum85 1/16/2013 10:29:00 PM

Iv gone through at least 3-4 of these.it leaves no white residue or anything it's completely invisible on me and I'm tanned! I'm very oily and this keeps shine at bay even in the late arvo (if I haven't reapplied yet) my skin is still shine free but is also greasy to the touch if that makes sense? Dirt cheap and the best setting powder iv had

BB Cream -Garnier - BB Cream Miracle Skin Perfector for Combination to Oily Skin - Light
rated 4 of 5
Mum85 1/16/2013 6:56:00 PM

I bought this because the original was too greasy/oily for me especially in summer,I love everything about this except the spf 15 which I wish was higher and that's it's runny when it comes out,the colour is perfect on my med tan skin,it hides my large pores and I look flawless,the coverage is around medium and is build-able I have very oily skin and I don't need powder only in the afternoon and even then its not very bad with shine or sliding off,other than rimmel (which is my fav) this is def my second favourite

BB Cream -Garnier - BB Cream Miracle Skin Perfector - Light/Medium
rated 2 of 5
Mum85 1/16/2013 6:49:00 PM

This was my first bb cream I bought,the packaging is easy to use as its a squeezy tube with a flip top lid,the product is not running just nice and creamy,it didnt do a lot in coverage but its ok if your skin is clear to even out any redness or slight dark circles,spf 15 could've been better for Australian climate,they should've made it higher,the oily factor is what put me off,is seemed to not sink in just sort of sit on top of my skin but it did give my skin a nicer more refined texture,it did not break me out but I won't buy again because I prefer the oil free version

Sunscreen -Unlisted Brand - Invisible Zinc - Tinted Daywear in Light
rated 4 of 5
Mum85 1/16/2013 6:22:00 PM

I bought this in the small tube to test out because I was using the sunsense daily face and it stung and hurt my face (I don't have sensitive skin) so I tired this invisible zinc and I love it,it's not hard to spread on,it evens out my skin alittle and its alittle oily/greasy but I don't get breakouts from it (I get breakouts from every other suncreen) it's alittle difficult to wash off,I have to double cleanse,but because its compatible with my acne prone/oily skin I would buy again and again
