I received this in a swap, I really wanted to try it but didn't want to fork out the money in case i didn't like it. It look so glittery and thought it may not suit me. However I am so pleased I received it as I really love it, i only need a small amount and it makes such a difference to my look and brightens my face up and suit my skintone really well. Will defiantley purchase when this runs out.

Blush -NYX - Taupe

Catkins 2/18/2012 1:37:00 PM

I love love love this colour blush. i have always found it difficult finding a good shade to contour with, most just make my face look dirty. NYX taupe blush is just perfect enough to contour with , i only need a tiny amount and it blends really well. And for the price you can't go wrong.

Liquid -Chanel - Vitalumiere Aqua

Catkins 2/18/2012 1:28:00 PM

when i first got this foundation i didn't think it would provide me with good coverage and tbh i just got sucked into all the rave reviews about it and why I brought it. However this foundation is really lovely, it blends well and even though it is quite a thin consistency it gives me great covereage for my acne skin. The only downside apart from the price is that it is quite perfumed, i would still repurchase though

Wow I am really surprised that I like this foundation, I have struggled for years trying to find a foundation that did not look cakey and more oily. i have been using colour stay but thought I would try this and its great. its blends wells, doesn't make me more oily and does not break me out.

Loose Powders -E.L.F. - Studio High Definition Powder
rated 4 of 5
Catkins 8/22/2011 5:05:00 AM

Up until now I had been using Macs Prep and Prime Powder which was great - then I received this ELF HD powder and absolutely love it. It goes on great and doesn't leave a white cast which Macs P&P sometimes did.And plus its very cheap and you get tons more product. Definitely will buy again.

Primer/ Corrector -MAC - Prep + Prime Face Protect SPF 50
rated 4 of 5
Catkins 8/22/2011 5:01:00 AM

This is a great product for my oily skin, it sinks in nicely and keeps me matte , it doesn't have that greasy feel that some sunscreens have. Plus its great having the SPF50 in it. The only negative I can say is the price - it is quite expensive and you don't get much product for the price either. However I will most probably purchase again until I find something cheaper that works as well.

I use this as a setting powder after i finish my foundation - I don't find it gives any highlighting or colour which is not a problem. Its great at keeping me matte. Plus its very cheap. Will keep buying

Moisturizers -Garden of Wisdom - Fruity Meow Meow! Facial Lotion
rated 5 of 5
Catkins 7/24/2011 6:09:00 AM

Great product. I have really oily acne skin and this sinks in nicely, keeps me matte and doesn't break me out. Only shame is that I cannot get it in the uk so have to order online from the US - but the price and shipping are not to bad so don't mind really. Another big plus is that I only have to use a tiny amount and it goes a long way so the bottle will last me ages.

Eye Primer -Too Faced - Shadow Insurance, Anti-Crease Eye Shadow Primer
rated 3 of 5
Catkins 7/24/2011 6:06:00 AM

I had really high hopes for this product but am really dissapointed. I love UDPP but the packaging sucks! I read so many good things about SI and finally got my hand on one. Well - it does bring out the colour of the eyeshadow and makes it really bright and pigmented but the staying power is rubbish. When I got home my es had creased and worn away. With UDPP my es it still on when I get home after 7 hours at work. Won't be buying again!

What can I say that has not already been said. This really is the best eyeshadow brush. I have many other eyeshadow brushes but always come back to the 217.

Catkins 1/21/2011 3:06:00 PM

I brought this with my £5 off voucher at boots. I did not expect much from it tbh. Anyhow I am quite suprised - I used it for the first time today and although it is not the greatest in applying it did keep me quite matte and kept my makeup in place all day.
