Lipstick -Revlon - Colorburst Lip Butter - Cherry Tart
Jewels04 8/12/2012 10:18:00 PM
I bought this a week ago. I usually wear coloured lip gloss or light natural lipstick colours but on a whim felt like getting something different, the sales lady offered me several really full on fire engine reds (she said suited my colouring she had a theory if you are fair or very dark you can wear a strong red) not being used to wearing red I shied away from those ones. I am so glad I chose this as its a lovely introduction to red lips and a very wearable colour that I think would also suit alot of people. You can apply just a little and it looks good also when more made up you can apply more. Wears reasonably well the shine part goes away after a couple of hours leaving look of a lip stain effect but that looks natural to me and is fine. Nice texture feels mosturising but not to heavy or sticky. Pretty certain I will purchase again $27 NZ

Hair Color -Unlisted Brand - Sun-In - Highlighting Spray

This cracks me up that this stuff still exists. I haven't seen it in NZ anymore mind you I haven't been looking for it. I used it in high school and ruined my hair with it. I have medium blonde hair and just wanted to be that wee bit lighter. I used it several times over a couple of years, it is very drying, leaves hair looking flat not that natural. Looked as if may not have been blonde to begin with if you know what I mean. Think carefully about this, it is cheap but you get what you pay for.

Cleansers -Cetaphil - Gentle Skin Cleanser
Jewels04 5/29/2009 10:57:00 PM
I have been using this cleanser on and off for three years. I think I originally bought it based on reveiws from this site. I think its overall rating has gone down, maybe people expecting to much now?. This is a good gentle cleanser that does not dry your skin or sting eyes. I do not generally wear alot of make up so it is fine for me, sometimes I do have to use some eye-make up remover to get rid of last mascara as I do not like to rub around the eye area. When I wear a long lasting foundation I have to clease my face a couple of times with the cetaphil using a cleasingpad or facecloth to remove all make up and again eye make up remover around my eye area. So perhaps if you are a person who wears alot of make-up daily this is not the product for you but it is a good option as a gentle non-drying cleanser in the morning. A couple of times a week I like to use a exfoliation product also. Its does take a bit to get used to a product that does not lather but I do not think a lather make your face any cleaner. Every now again I think I should try other cleansers eg Neutrogena and loreal and they have not been any better and cost more. I have even noticed a couple more whiteheads using alternative products after a few weeks. I think my skin is more soft and clear for using cetaphil and exfoliating 2x a week. I will keep re-purchasing.

Liquid -L'Oreal - Ideal Balance

I bought this because I have combination skin and the beige colour matched skin in summer fairly well but I found it doesn't give very good coverage yet I still look like I am wearing makeup (not good) and it doesn't last very long. I wouldn't purchase again, my search for a decent foundation continues.
