Fabulous mascara! Separates the lashes nicely, gives length and volume and no clumping whatsoever. For the price you can't beat this.

Liquid -Clarins - Ever matte
ButterFlo 9/18/2012 8:10:00 AM
Gorgeos foundation for a natural look that lets your skin show through! I wouldn't say the finish is completely matte, it's more of a natural finish, I absolutely love that. The smell is also very nice and fresh, reminds me of cucumbers. I just wish this came in a bottle with a pump, the tube just squeeses out too much product.

Lipstick -Catrice - Ultimate Shine
ButterFlo 6/13/2012 4:22:00 AM
I own this lippie in the colour Shy Flamingo which is a lovely intense coral colour. Very pigmented, creamy and glossy, doesn't have too much of a scent. I'll usually tone it down by patting it on, makes the colour much more wearable. Only thing I'm not crazy about is that it has some tiny shimmers in it. Overall a great product for the price.

Concealers -MAC - Studio Finish Concealer

Love this stuff! I use it to cover dark circles and blemishes and it works amazing. It is on the dry side so I wouldn't cake it on or use it on dry, flaky skin, but for me this is perfect.

Sunscreen -Eucerin - Sun Fluid Mattifying SPF 50+
ButterFlo 3/27/2012 2:52:00 PM
For once I am actually happy I DIDN'T read the reviews before buying. This actually works fantastic for my skin! I was recommended this product by a pharmacist who said it would sink into the skin well and leave a matte effect. I use this as a daytime moisturiser and it's lovely. My skin does become dewy throughout the day, but I don't get super greasy. Just perfect! Definitely HG material.

Fragrances -Chanel - Coco Mademoiselle
ButterFlo 10/20/2011 2:07:00 PM
I was craving this scent for a long time before I caved in and bought it - the price set me off, but it's so worth it. I got the eau de parfum and from testing out the eau de toilette I realised they smell a bit different and the eau de toilette lasts less on my skin. So be sure to test them out both and give them a bit of time to develop on your skin before buying! It's a young and sophisticated floral fragrance, much lighter than the other Chanel creations. It lasts so well on my skin, even after I shower I can still feel it. My absolute favorite scent ever, I'm absolutely sure I'll wear it for the rest of my life, that's how perfect it is!

Lipstick -Essence - Lipstick
ButterFlo 9/18/2011 3:18:00 PM
I have this lippie in Glamour Queen and it's a lovely everyday colour for me. It looks kinda scary in the tube, but on the lips it comes off as a lovely sheer dark red with a bit of shimmer. It also has a heavenly scent to it. My mum loves this so much, that she's on her second tube! Definitely repurchasing, for the price you get very good value.

Concealers -Essence - Cover Stick 
ButterFlo 9/9/2011 10:02:00 AM
This concealer is ok for covering blemishes, but it's definitely not suitable for the under-eye area. I find it sets into the fine lines, it's not creamy enough, the packaging is functionally ok, but looks very cheap. Only thing I like is that it's good coverage and it's a good colour match for me. I'm currently trying to use it up but I'm not going to buy again.

Lotions/ Creams -Unlisted Brand - Hipp Babylotion
ButterFlo 7/12/2011 12:18:00 PM
Love love love this lotion! It's all natural, has a discreet powdery sweet scent and moisturises without feeling sticky or greasy. I can even use this on my face, it doesn't clog my pores or feel heavy. Plus, the bottle is so cute and pink, it looks really pretty in the bathroom cabinet :) Definitely repurchasing!

Eyeliner -Yves Rocher - Luminelle Khol Pencil
ButterFlo 6/21/2011 11:09:00 AM
I have this liner in the shade prune nacree which is a dark purple tone. The color itself is lovely, it's the only shade of purple that I will use, but the application is horrible. It tugs on my skin and it's very harsh, it doesn't glide on like good eyeliners would - and I feel like eyeliner is such a basic makeup item, that it must be really hard for a brand to screw it up so badly. I still use this as an all-over base when I'm doing a smokey eye since the primer makes the application easier, but I won't be purchasing any of the YR liners again.

Polishes -OPI - Teenage Dream (Katy Perry)
ButterFlo 6/2/2011 4:30:00 AM
I am completely obsessed with this polish! It has a very sheer pink base with different size glitters in it. On its own you would need a lot of coats for it to show up properly, so I like to layer 2 coats of this over a sheer pink nail polish, in my case it's Isn't That Precious? from OPI as well. Lasts very well and looks gorgeos, the only downside that I can see is that I got it in a mini bottle and I'll desperately want to repurchase when I've finished it!

Polishes -OPI - Isn't That Precious?
ButterFlo 6/2/2011 4:25:00 AM
I got this nail polish as a gift and although I love pinks, I didn't expect to like it this much. OPI's soft shades tend to be more safe and uninteresting so if you're not into sheer pinks, then don't buy this. However I do love it, in the bottle it looks darker than it comes out since it's so sheer. What I like most is the staying power: although OPI is generally great quality, some polishes tend to be more durable on the nails for some reason and this is one of them, it wears like iron on me. Overall, loving this polish!

Styling Products -L'Oreal - L'Oreal Elnett Extra StrongHold UV Hair Spray - 11 oz.
ButterFlo 5/26/2011 4:22:00 AM
This is the best hair spray I've ever tried. I wasn't even that keen on hair sprays in general before trying this and I'd loathe curling my hair because I knew that my curls would fall out and my hair would just be a crunchy mess. I love Elnett because it keeps my curls in place all day long and you can't even feel that you have it on, it leaves your hair really soft and flexible. It's a bit expensive but I can definitely justify spending the money on it.

Eye Shadow -Yves Rocher - Luminelle eye shadow
ButterFlo 5/20/2011 5:16:00 PM
I have a luminelle eyeshadow in the shade dragee d'argent, a pearly taupe colour and I adore it. It's very well pigmented, it goes on smoothly and stays on well. From swatching the testers in the store I'm pretty sure that not all the shades are as pigmented, however with this one I am really pleased.

Fragrances -Yves Rocher - Pur Desir de Lilas
ButterFlo 5/20/2011 5:09:00 PM
I usually go for scents on the 'edible' side, like vanilla which is my absolute fav. But since I adore the scent of lilacs and it brings back beautiful memories I was looking for a fragrance like this and it completely won me over. It smells exactly like lilacs, it's subtle, feminine and fresh, not overpowering at all and it lasts well throughout the day, especially since I used it in conjunction with the pur desir de lilas shower gel. Like all Yves Rocher fragrances, it's not a complex smell, it's the kind of what-it-says-on-the-tin-product. Overall, I love it, it's going to be my go-to scent for the spring and summer.
