Makeup Brushes -BeneFit Cosmetics - Foundation Brush

This brush is fantastic! The bristles are really light and soft and I find they make applying foundation a breeze. Foundation doesn't seem to stick to the bristles at all, meaning you use very little. It also doesn't leave any bristle/streak marks on your face either...unlike my previous brush. Amazing.

Cleansers -Clarins - Pure Melt Cleansing Gel
Doireann 7/21/2008 11:52:00 AM
I really liked the idea of this product and I really wanted to like it so imagine my horror when I broke out in not-quite-spots-but-still-red-and-horrible-looking-all-the-same things underneath my nose. Devestated. But then, I decided to start using it with my facecloth to wash it off and I absolutely love it now. Not only does it get rid of every scrap of make up, it's very gentle and doesn't irritate the skin. My skin tone has improved and I feel like moisturiser just glides on. Definitely a keeper!

Mascara -BeneFit Cosmetics - BADgal Lash

I used to really like this product. The first couple of times I used it I really loved the coverage it gave on my lashes. Was nice and thick and dramatic.However, after a couple of weeks it has become clumpy on the brush, impossible to put on, panda eyes, the works really! I know it is not out of date yet as I only got it in May and to be honest I am so disappointed that it has aged so poorly. Surely something which is quite expensive should last better.

Liquid -Lancome - Adaptive [DISCONTINUED]
Doireann 7/21/2008 11:29:00 AM
I really like the Adaptive foundation. I HATE(d) foundation, found it was too heavy for my skin and hated it especially after a few hours when the coverage is gone but the heavy feeling remains. My my, this product has changed my perception of foundation entirely. It's very light on the skin but provides a good coverage for minor blemishes. It stays put for hours (and I don't use any primer or powder). I like the dispenser too as you can really control the amount that comes out. And I have to say I think it's very good value for money as it really lasts. All in all, a really great product.

Eyeliner -Lancome - Artliner

I am useless at putting on liquid eyeliner (pencils are my serious staple though!) so it was with great trepadation that I tried this. And boy am I glad I did. It's fantastic! The nib is really great - very thin nib but you can also get a thicker line using the side. It went on really easily as well, and stayed on all night. Very expensive but a definite keeper!
