Foundations -The Body Shop - All-In-One Face Base
LouiseD17 5/18/2011 11:22:00 AM
I've been using this for about two years. I have shady n°3 and 4, for winter and summer use. + -light to medium coverage -matte effect -when applied correctly, it looks like you're not wearing any foundation at all - -can look cakey on it's own, I finish with The Body Shop Face Mist Vitamin E or Vitamin C -doesn't last the whole day I have been repurchasing this because so far it's the best I've come across for my skintone and skintype. But I haven't stopped looking for something better.

Mascara -MAC - Dazzle lash
LouiseD17 5/18/2011 11:15:00 AM
I'm very happy with this mascara. It does exactly what I want it to do: - natural effect - colour and slight curl to my naturally longish but blonde lashes - doesn't smudge - doesn't clump even with several coats - doesn't dissapear on me I like the small wand, as I have rather small eyes thus it's pratical for me, but might not be for others.

Sunscreen -Lavera - Anti-Ageing Sun Milk SPF 15
LouiseD17 5/18/2011 11:11:00 AM
I've been using this sunscreen for about a year. I have combination sensitive skin and am very prone to burning etc. I first bought this because this is not tested on animals and Lavera uses natural ingredients, and real natural ingredients, not natural in marketing terms;-) When it comes to protection against the sun, I LOVE this. It's a very effective formula and I love the protection against UVA rays. When you put it on, it does tend to leave a white film. What I do is warm the product in my hands and blend it out on my face, then it only leaves a light whiteish cast that dissapears after 15-30 minutes. I will be repurchasing this.

Top/Base Coats -Seche Vite - Dry Fast Top Coat
LouiseD17 7/9/2010 9:04:00 AM
I love this top coat! It really dries fast, which is super for me as I can never sit still long enough after doing my mani. It also gives great shine to the nailpolish. It also makes my nailpolishes last longer. Not super long (unless I reapply a coat every evening), but good enough! What I don't like so much is the strong smell, but let's face it: nailpolish is never going to smell like dewy roses is it? It's a bit pricey, but to me totally worth it!

Polishes -Barry M - Nail Paint
LouiseD17 7/9/2010 9:00:00 AM
I recently bought two Barry M nailpaints. The opacity is great, fully opaque in two coats. The colour range is also really good. The only minus I have is with the green polish I used. I was too lazy to use a base coat and ended up with very noticable neon green staining on my nails. I've often not bothered with a top coat and well and this has enver happened to me.

Mascara -Lavera - Volume Mascara
LouiseD17 7/9/2010 8:57:00 AM
I bought this product as it is not tested on animals and only contains natural ingredients. My last mascara (Clinique) event hough it worked really well, started to give me runny and itchy eyes. I really like the smell, yes smell, of this product. And I find the slim tube very handy. You won't get extremely voluminous and long lashes, but it's very good for everyday use if you have good but light lashes.Staying power is okay, it's really easy to remove!
