Masks -Boots - Botanics conditioning clay mask
rated 4 of 5
LondonBabe 6/5/2012 3:51:00 PM

I liked this mask. The only thing is it felt super tight while it dried on my face. However, I felt it did a great job of removing impurities from my skin and helped control the oily areas of my combination skin.

rated 3 of 5
LondonBabe 6/4/2012 2:56:00 PM

Pretty expensive. Didn't do a lot for the pores, but I do admit it did make a bit of a difference. Prob wouldn't buy again, but the product isn't terrible.

Mascara -L'Oreal - Voluminous mascara
rated 3 of 5
LondonBabe 1/27/2011 2:24:00 PM

My fave cheapie mascara to give me a natural look. Great price, however I find the volume and length is very average. Can't beat the price. My fave is still Geisha Ink mascara, but since I have to order it from Canada, Vouminous is my go-to between Geisha mascaras. I wish wish wish Geisha Ink Mascara was sold in London:(.

Toners -Clinique - Clarifying Lotion #2
rated 2 of 5
LondonBabe 1/27/2011 2:19:00 PM

Big bottle for the price. I found this was WAY too harsh on the skin for a toner. Toner's are not supposed to sting and strip, just merely remove any excess soap or residue left on the skin. I don't even think I will finish the bottle before throwing away.

Liquid -Classified Cosmetics - ERA Face Spray Foundation
rated 1 of 5
LondonBabe 1/27/2011 1:50:00 PM

YUCK! I had high hopes for this foundation. The sales girl spoke very highly of this. Did not apply evenly with spraying, and not much better when applying with a brush or sponge. Therefore, if you cannot spray it for an airbrushed look, what is the point of the spray container? Does not spray continuously and more splatters then sprays. I found this foundation sat on top of my skin, looking really unnatural. I itched my face, taking off an even streak of foundation...so embarrassing! I also do not like the smell, because it smell like chemicals. High hopes crushed. Too bad.

Powder -Stila - Illuminating Powder Foundation
rated 1 of 5
LondonBabe 1/26/2011 7:19:00 PM

I found this chalky, flaky with horrible coverage. The colours were MUCH too warm for my skin. They made me look yellow and did not blend well into my NW20 skin. The illuminating made my t-zone shine, yet held onto my dry spots. No good.

Mascara -Unlisted Brand - Geisha Ink- Ultra Volume Mascara
rated 5 of 5
LondonBabe 1/24/2011 3:58:00 PM

After reading all of these amazing reviews I couldn't help but order all three products. I wanted to finish up my remaining foundation and liquid liner before opening them. However I am long over due for a new mascara and tried it over this past weekend. My first impression was a really great one! The formula was nothing like I have ever tried. Applied smoothly and added beautiful volume and length to my lashes. Held my curl, and as the mascara states, it lasted ALL DAY! I added more mascara before going out with my girls at night, and it never once felt dry, or clumpy. I was so impressed when it easily washed off at the end of the day. So far, the best mascara I have ever used. I wish I knew about it sooner, but unfortunately they do not sell this brand in London yet. The price converted into GBP was very comparable to many higher end mascara's I have bought and hated and threw out in the past. Even though shipping is a little expensive from Canada, I will definably be re buying. Worth every penny!

Lip Gloss -Stila - Lip glaze
rated 3 of 5
LondonBabe 1/24/2011 3:13:00 PM

Very expensive for a very average lipgloss. Other then the packaging and scents, the formula is very similar to many of the other glosses on the market.

Mascara -Maybelline - Full 'n' Soft waterproof mascara (vitamin E)
rated 3 of 5
LondonBabe 1/24/2011 3:10:00 PM

I neither loved or hated this product. This mascara is perfect for an everyday natural lash. Non clumping, and lengthened a little. Enhanced my natural lashes. I found as the formula got older, the better it held a curl.

Fragrances -Aquolina - Pink Sugar
rated 1 of 5
LondonBabe 1/24/2011 3:08:00 PM

A friend gave this to me as a gift. I hate the smell...Good think she lives overseas. I found this perfume WAY too sweet. Smells like candy. Overpowering and sickeningly sweet. Definitely not my taste.

Love this product! Takes off make-up gently and effectively. I love how it removes my waterproof mascara. Very affordable!

Concealers -Laura Mercier - Secret Concealer
rated 1 of 5
LondonBabe 1/24/2011 3:00:00 PM

Blah! These concealers are not made for the population with cool undertones. The concealer was way too yellow and did not blend into my skin properly. I suggest you do not buy unless it matches your skin PERFECTLY!
