Skincare - Face -Bourjois - Anti-shine Blotting Sheets
gforce7 5/30/2007 2:09:00 PM
From the pack:- "Lightly press the blotting sheet over shiny areas (forehead, nose, chin). The sheet absorbs excess sebum without removing make-up." ... They instantly mattify your complexion and at £4.95 for 50 (non-powdered) sheets, they're reasonably priced. Will repurchase.

Lip Treatments -The Body Shop - Colourings Lip Scuff
gforce7 5/30/2007 1:47:00 PM
Rubbish - the exfoliating particles are far too big and only suceed in increasing the size of the flakes on my lips! I also found it quite difficult to remove the green sticky mess from my lips after treatment (wipe with tissue... wipe...wipe, oh, still some more...wipe... etc) I much prefer Blistex Lip Revitalizer to this.

Lip Gloss -NARS - Lip Lacquer in Chelsea Girls
gforce7 5/23/2007 4:00:00 PM
I love this shade for toning down my highly pigmented lips. However, I'd recommend investing in a lip brush, as this provides a much better application than using your fingers. Also, on it's own, this tends to show up any flakiness and unevenness on my lips...however, with just a slick of sheer/clear lipgloss on top, the look is fabulous!!! Like many other reviewers, I really wish this shade was available in lipstick form as applying it is quite inconvenient. Will deffinately re-purchase though!

Lipstick -Estee Lauder - Pure Color Crystal Lipstick- Crystal Baby
gforce7 5/6/2007 5:36:00 PM
The formula of this lipstick is great, but the shade is a little too pink to suit me. With my blonde hair and blue eyes, it just looks 'tacky' - like I'm a Barbie doll wannabe! :o/

Foundations -Lily Lolo - Mineral Foundation
gforce7 5/5/2007 5:38:00 PM
Reasons why I love Lily Lolo mineral foundation:- * Gives a flawless finish * Buildable coverage which looks very natural * Feels great on my skin (liquid foundation can feel uncomfortable, heavy & 'mask-like' on me) * Doesn't break me out in spots * Quick and easy to apply * Good staying power - lasts all day with no need to touch up * Reasonably priced. All in all, pretty much my HG foundation!

Scrubs -LUSH - Buffy the Backside Slayer
gforce7 5/5/2007 4:25:00 PM
I quite liked this the first couple of times I used it. However, after my third time using it, it broke me out in a red, itchy rash all over my body and face, for which I had to take a course of steroids. In hindsight, I now know that it had probably went off. However, at the time, I had no idea that Lush products go off quite quickly since they don't use artificial preservatives (knowledge acquired too late!) There should be more warnings about this instore and from sales assistants when purchasing. Needless to say, this experience has scared me off Lush products for life!

Scrubs -LUSH - Aqua Mirabillis

I cannot understand all the good reviews for this product (?!) Perhaps I got a dud one??? It feels like rubbing a lump of candle wax over my body, and leaves a strange waxy residue on my skin which I hate the feel of. It also didn't seem to exfoliate my skin that well. I couldn't wait to get this bar used up! Horrible stuff :o(

Self Tanners -Garnier - No Streaks Bronzer Dry Face Mist for the face
gforce7 4/27/2007 8:42:00 AM
I'd given up trying to tan my face a long time ago, as fake tan lotions always broke me out in spots...not with this one! It's quick and easy to apply (I'd say you'd get even better with practice too), dries ultra quickly, doesn't smell much at all, and the tan develops nice and evenly (deffinately more even and streak-free than a lotion type) giving a lovely healthy glow. It's the first time I've had a tanned face in years... and I've never looked better first thing in the morning! Plus I don't need as much makeup/concealer as usual. The tan 'disguises' any uneven skintone and red patchiness, also spots/blemishes are not as obvious. Thank goodness for this invention!

I use this on my eyebrows to keep them nicely groomed and shaped. Inexpensive and does the job just as well as any expensive brand.

Non-greasy and absorbs into skin really quickly. I especially love that it's non-perfumed. Would re-purchase.

This is one of my favourite nude lip shades for my colouring. However, the staying power is poor and it's abit too expensive.

Extremely easy to use and surprisingly effective. No mess/no fuss, quick, portable and inexpensive. However it does hurt abit, especially when removing hair from the upper lip!
