Tinted Moisturizer -BeneFit Cosmetics - You Rebel
Pixiechix 12/11/2009 10:46:00 AM
Awful! I don't know if it's just the curse of my oily skin again or the product but it was terrible. Yet another waste of money! Would def not buy it again. I could really feel it on my face and just wanted to go and wash it off. No real coverage not even a light coverage and it was really uneven. Horrid.

Concealers -BeneFit Cosmetics - Lemon Aid
Pixiechix 12/11/2009 10:42:00 AM
I wasn't amazed by this product, its quite hard and if you don't soften it a bit with your fingertips before applying it's a nightmare! If you try to put it on without softening it kind of drags across your eyelid and just sits there like a bright white matte cream. Once I had softened it though it looked better and freshens up your eyes. I use it all round my eyes sometimes and it makes them look nice and bright with foundation over the top. It doesn't always stop the creases though and is very white so if you have a darker skin tone than fair you would prob have to rub it in a lot. I don't know if I would buy again, I'm not sure. The littl mirror is great too.

Powder -BeneFit Cosmetics - Get Even #2
Pixiechix 12/11/2009 10:36:00 AM
I love this product and have been using this for a while. I have fair skin so I go for the fairs and ivorys so I bought the no.1 and found it to do the job, get rid of red patchiness and even out the skin tone, is great with my greasy skin too as you can top up through the day without having to worry about cakiness or clogged pores. I found the no.1 to be way too white and made me look like a ghost even with my fair skin so I use the no.2 now and it is perfect! Thank goodness as I dread to think how much I have spent on face powders in the past and all useless. This is perfect!!!

Crème -BeneFit Cosmetics - Some Kind-A Gorgeous
Pixiechix 12/11/2009 10:28:00 AM
Urgh! Another waste of money and another bit of make-up thrown in the ''old make-up box' that I don't want to throw away as it was expensive but prob won't use again. I do have oily skin but the lady at the BeneFit counter said it would be great. It's awful. Its really greasy and when you put it on your face it doesn't go on evenly, it has a really orange tinge to it and it doesn't stay on for five minutes before it's practically running off your face. Really dissapointed and a complete waste of money.

Mascara -BeneFit Cosmetics - BADgal Lash
Pixiechix 12/11/2009 8:57:00 AM
I really didn't like this at all, it's not worth buying in my opinion. It was cakey and flakey and most definately did not make my lashes look great. I use Lancome Hypnose, well I have been until I found out that they test on animals but anyway, this mascara just cannot compare at all. I think with mascara it is def worth spending that bit more and be happy with it than spending a bit less and making do with less than great lashes. Not for me at all.

Blush -BeneFit Cosmetics - Dandelion
Pixiechix 12/11/2009 8:53:00 AM
I really like this, I prefer to have quite a natural look to my make up even though I use foundation for an even skin tone. If you brush this lightly over your face you will have a lovely healthy glow without any shine. Its not too shimmery which is great if you have quite oily skin like me. Love it and it lasts forever so well worth the money. If you wanted to use it as a blusher you can as it has a buildable quality, will make you look healthy and glowing!

Blush -BeneFit Cosmetics - Benetint
Pixiechix 12/11/2009 8:50:00 AM
This just wasn't for me at all. It dries way too quickly and doesn't spread out which gave me the clown look so I had to keep re-doing my make-up! Maybe it's the way that I used it but even so, I won't buy it again.

Mascara -Maybelline - Great Lash Mascara
Pixiechix 12/11/2009 8:48:00 AM
I had heard so many good comments about this mascara and thought that I would try it. I have quite short eye lashes and therefore need quite a lengthening mascara. I thought that this was awful. It didn't lengthen at all and it didn't even look nice on my lashes. The mascara clumps after a while and I don't pump the wand in there. I definately wouldn't buy again, I would prefer to pay a bit more and get value for money rather than get a cheaper one like this that looks just awful.

Moisturizers -LUSH - Enzymion
Pixiechix 12/11/2009 8:34:00 AM
This moisturiser did absolutely nothing for me at all, sadly. I use a lot of Lush products and I was excited about this as I have quite oily skin and thought that this could help. It smelt lovely and that was it, my skin didn't chane a jot and therefore I gave up on it. I wouldn't buy it again.

Shampoo -LUSH - Curly Wurly
Pixiechix 12/11/2009 8:29:00 AM
I have this but I don't think that it's the best one that they do. I prefer Big, Veganese and Rehab. This does do a nice job on my thick curly hair but I am not too keen on all the cocnut bits in it and I found that it weighed my hair down a bit. It was shiny but it was drier too which isn't too good on curly hair. It is still a good shampoo just not my fave from Lush. I prob wouldn't buy it again but I will still use what I have left at some point!

Shampoo -LUSH - Rehab Shampoo
Pixiechix 12/11/2009 8:23:00 AM
I use this shampoo as well as big, i like to vary my shampoos and this is great too. It really cleans, doesn't leave any residue and your hair is left silky smooth and shiny. It really is a fab product and I always have a big bottle in the bathroom. I love lush products and this does not dissapoint! UPDATE: after using for a while my hair went kind of lank and had no life in it. I stopped using this and my hair was great again. It was great for a while! It also went dry at the ends and made my hair have a really horrible texture. As soon as I changed my hair was nice again. I had recommended it to a friend and she thought it was great too, at the beginning but then had the same problem as me.

Shampoo -LUSH - BIG
Pixiechix 12/11/2009 8:19:00 AM
I love this shampoo! It comes in a great sized pot and has lots of salt in it. I have thick curly hair and this makes it look great. It doesn't make your hair massive just boosts it and gives it an amazing shine. I use this a lot and use a lush conditioner too, perfect! UPDATE: whilst I still like this I have found that I can't use it often as it really dries out my hair and makes it feel yuk. I use it once in a while and after this tub I probably won't buy again.

Cleansers -LUSH - Dark Angels
Pixiechix 12/11/2009 8:16:00 AM
This stuff is great, it comes in a pot and is black with very small grains in it which makes it mega exfoliating. The charcoal in it soaks up all the oil and evens out your skin tone. I get break outs and have really oily sking and can get medium size pores on my cheeks which I hate. This stuff works like magic! Yes, it is messy, like other post said it goes everywhere. In the sink, on your face cloth in your finger nails, the lot. It's just sooooooo good though. Fab product and would definately buy again.

Gels/Soaps -LUSH - Sandstone soap
Pixiechix 12/11/2009 8:10:00 AM
I love love love this soap, I use it all the time. The sand in it give you a really good scrub although might be too harsh for some. I love the fresh citrus scent and it makes my skin sooo soft. If you have any dry bits or spotty bits then this is perfect. Its great before self tanning as it gets all the dead skin off and makes you squeaky clean. The bar last FOREVER too so it really is great value for money. I no longer waste money on expensive shower gels that don't last as this does the job brilliantly. Lush are great if you care about being an ethical consumer too, no animal testing and good policies, guilt free shopping. Love it. Its really good to get your bottom and legs and arms in great shape before you step out in you bikini for hols too. Love it.

Blush -Lancome - Blush Subtil in Aplum
Pixiechix 12/11/2009 8:01:00 AM
Well I loved this blusher, really love it and I still have a pretty full one left. It makes my cheeks look lovely and it lasts forever. Still loving this, the gold flecks are so beautiful and really lights up my face without making it shiney or over the top. It looks so natural as I prefer the natural look. You could layer on more if you like more colour. Its just gorgeous!
