Sunscreen -Shiseido - Ultimate Sun Protection Cream SPF 55 PA+++ [DISCONTINUED]
rated 2 of 5

Why on earth did they change the formula? It is now described as "nourishing" and it sure is. I have been using this for 15 years because of it's mattifying effect but now it gives a white cast and turns your face into an oil slick. Not to mention a face full of zigs which I had never experienced with this sunscreen before. If you're looking for a matte sunscreen don't buy Shiseido because it is now an anti aging highly nourishing sunscreen. Shame on you Shiseido.

Mascara -MAC - Splashproof Lash in Blacksplash
rated 5 of 5

I got this on duty free, and it costs as much as a drug store mascara. I must say this product might just beat the maybelline mascaras. It is waterproof, coats well, and doesn't smudge. It comes off easily with neutrogena eye make up remover, so you will never get panda eyes. All in all, another great product from Mac.

Eye Makeup Remover -Neutrogena - Oil Free eye makeup remover

This is the best eye make up remover. Removes the toughest waterproof mascara, like MAC Splashproof mascara, in a second. No panda eyes.

Shampoo -Aveda - Damage Remedy Restructuring Shampoo

Hi girls, if you read the ingredients in both the shampoo and conditioner, you'll see that it contains "Dimethicone" which is SILICONE!!! That's why the shampoo and conditioner work so well. I'm very disappointed to see that Aveda uses silicone in their products. Might as well buy Pantene.

Cleansers -Ella Bache - Lait Exotique
rated 4 of 5

I've been using this for about 6 weeks after the beauty therapist forced me to buy after having one of their facials. I must say that I had never used a milk cleanser before this one so I wasn't used to having to wipe it off. I think it's a great cleanser for those with oily skin. It didn't break me out. It smells great. However the packaging could improve. The price is very expensive and you're not able to buy it online apart from ebay. The beauty therapist said one bottle should last you 6 months. I've been using it for 6 weeks and I've only got half left! And that's using the tiniest amount only. I'm only using this to go with my facial treatment up until my wedding. I'm not too sure if I would continue using it after the wedding.

I love this. Now I don't have to worry about washing my hair everyday. It's also very cheap too. You can get the same effect by using talcom powder.

Moisturizers -Orlane - Claircilane - Hydro Clarifying Cream
rated 3 of 5

I bought this for AUS$40 from Strawberrynet.com. What a bargain. This is supposed to be a whitening cream but I don't think it has done anything. I only bought it because it's normally more than a hundred dollars but was on sale, so I though it's a good price for an expensive cream.

Blush -Clarins - multi-blush

Thank you Thank you Thank you. I was looking to buy a cream blush from Strawberrynet.com and did not know which one to choose as I had never used a blush before. After reading the reviews here, I decided to buy one in Tender Lychee that everyone has been talking about. I'm glad I did. It gives me a soft pink look which is so perfect for my face. I wear it on top of my fluid foundation with powdery foundation on top. Great blush for those with sensitive/acne prone/oily skin.

Cleansers -Napoleon Perdis - Foaming Make-Up Remover
rated 4 of 5
Scratchie 4/13/2004 12:56:00 AM

This is a great makeup remover. It stings the eye a bit and cannot remove waterproof mascara effectively. But other than that, it's a great make up remover for the face. I would still use a cleanser afterwards as I'm not sure if the foam does anything else other than dissolving makeup.

Cleansers -Clarins - Gentle Foaming Cleanser with Plant Extracts [DISCONTINUED]
rated 5 of 5
Scratchie 4/13/2004 12:44:00 AM

I really like this cleanser. It doesn't really foam up but it leaves the skin very clean. It removes oil and makeup thoroughly. My skin feels squeaky clean but still retains its moisture. Maybe it's because I have combination skin. No breakouts and I've been using it everday for a few weeks now.

I wore this to a wedding and woa! This is a fantastic colour. If the light is shining on your hands, you'll see a rainbow of colours sparkling up at you. I just couldn't stop looking at my nails!

Lip Gloss -Estee Lauder - Pure Color Crystal Lipgloss with Liquid Prisms - Kaleidoscope Pink 313
rated 3 of 5

To see the iridescent effct you'll have to put it on very thick and not spread it (almost like dabbing). It is very expensive in Aus ($40) and doesn't seem like there's a lot in it. It looks pretty in the tube but I'm not sure if a hint of green looks good on my lips.

Polishes -OPI - Hopelessly in Love

Scratchie 2/20/2004 6:26:00 AM

This is kind of a boring light/white pink. It makes your nails look like false nails. But It doesn't go on streaky. So good nail polish. The colour isn't probably right for me.

I haven't worn this colour on my fingernails yet but I've worn it on my toes. It comes out as shiny gold with a bit of yellow. Can't wait to try it on my fingers.
