A FANTASTIC brush. I love it! I wasn't expecting much because it was so inexpensive but it is fantastic quality! It is so hard to find good, vegan, cruelty-free brushes but I'm pleased to say that I'll never have to search again as I will always choose EcoTools! A++.

Mascara -L'Oreal - Full Definition Voluminous
rated 4 of 5

This mascara is great!! I have it in the waterproof version. I can't wear non-waterproof mascara because I always rub my eyes or smug it somehow. I also get alot of headaches and my eyes water with them so I need a good quality waterproof mascara. This one fits the bill. The packaging is nice as well as practical. The mascara is really black and coats my lashes nicely. Best of all, it lasts all day!! I find it smudges at the end of a very long day but because it wears so well otherwise, I don't mind.

Fragrances -J. Lo - Miami Glow
rated 4 of 5

I was quite surprised that I liked this perfume. It's not something I'd normally purchase myself but a friend brought it for me whilst overseas. It's a very beachy scent. When first sprayed I smell orange Fanta and coconut but the dry down is much nicer. It has average lasting power. I'm pretty sure that this perfume is discontinued but I thought I'd do a brief review anyway-in case it comes back on the market at some stage.

Lotions/ Creams -The Body Shop - Pink Grapefruit Body Butter
rated 4 of 5
SophH 1/22/2009 4:04:00 PM

This is another good body butter from The Body Shop. The scent is really strong-it can be a bit over-powering when you put it on, but after a few minutes it's nice. It moisturisers really well and leaves a nice sheen to your skin. Not my favourite body butter, but it's a nice one.

Shampoo -Batiste - Dry Shampoo
rated 5 of 5
SophH 1/20/2009 2:16:00 AM

This is a fabulous product!! It really absorbs the oil from your hair. I didn't think it was possible, but three days after washing my hair I can spray this in and it absorbs all the oil and makes my blonde hair look blonde again (when my hair gets oily it looks darker). You just shake it, spray it in, shake a bit more, spray it in again and then brush it through. The scent isn't wonderful, but after a few minutes you can't smell it anyway.

Gels/Soaps -The Body Shop - Pink Grapefruit Shower Gel
rated 3 of 5
SophH 1/17/2009 2:33:00 PM

This is a good body wash, not the very best, but it does a good job. It foams up well, leaves your skin feeling clean and moisturised and it has a refreshing scent. I find I can't use too much of the body wash at once-otherwise the scent becomes too strong. The packaging is standard for the Body Shop and it works well. I wouldn't buy this again as there are other body washes in the Body Shop range that I like more.

Eyeliner -Revlon - High Dimension Eyeliner
rated 3 of 5
SophH 10/10/2008 2:51:00 AM

In NZ, this eyeliner retails for $25. I got it for $4 from the US. The pencil is really soft-it literally glides on. I've never used an eyeliner as soft as this one. The staying power is pretty good considering how soft it is. It smudges after a couple of hours, but it smudges nicely-if that makes sense. It doesn't go all over my eye, it just looks really natural. Some colours are better than others-I would repurchase some of the colours but not others.

Eyes -Cover Girl - Eyeslicks Gel Eye Colour "Moondust"
rated 3 of 5
SophH 10/4/2008 7:12:00 PM

I got a couple of these as a freebie awhile ago. The formula they use is quite dry so it tugs at your eyelids when you use it. This colour is by far the best-in both colour and formula. I use it as a liner as well as an eyeshadow-just wet the tip first if you want your application to be smoother.

I got a couple of these as a freebie awhile ago. The formula they use is quite dry, so it tugs at your eyelids when you use it. Aqua flash is a shiny blue colour with lots of glitter flecks in it. It's not terrible but it's not great. Just average.

I got a couple of these as a freebie awhile ago. The formula they use is quite dry, so it tugs at your eyelids when you use it. I use the white one like a liner and it works quite well if you wet the tip first. They're not terrible, and they're not great. Just average.
