Eyeliner -Rimmel - Glam Eyes Professional Liquid Liner
Starla83 9/27/2011 3:41:00 PM
I've used this product for absolutely ages and gone through so many of them. I wear eyeliner everyday and I love that i can get a really nice finish for a decent price. It does last all day so long as you dont touch it. I'll def be repurchasing

Liquid -Christian Dior - Diorskin Nude Hydrating Makeup SPF 10 [DISCONTINUED]
Starla83 9/27/2011 3:37:00 PM
This is a beautiful foundation, I absolutely love the way it makes me skin look. I have really light olive toned skin so getting a right shade in foundation can be a bit difficult at times but the colour 021 is a total match for me. I didn't find this drying at all, nor did it break me out and I absolutely love love love the finish. I didnt actually think it would hold up as good as it does which is brilliant! I've worn it in the pouring rain and humidly hot weather where expected it to have melted off my face but surprisingly it didnt look too different from when i first applied it....amazing! The only down side is that i've found that it transfers quite easily....much to my horror when I hug ppl! :( otherwise this would have been my HG which is a shame. However, now i do combine this with the Dior Forever (i found this too drying if used alone, sadly) and its perfect....lasts all day and doesnt transfer so i'm happy :)

Really disappointed with this product. I bought this as an alternative to the UDPP, much to my regret.....this product didn't stop my eyeshadow from creasing and after hrs of having it on it started to look cakey around my eye?? strange. Def not going to repurchase

Sunscreen -La Roche Posay - Anthelios XL Face Fluid TINTED SPF 50+
Starla83 8/20/2011 12:30:00 PM
I believe I'll be buying this product forever as I'm so in love with it! Not only does it provide great protection from the sun but my skin feels so moisturised and it's tinted so I dont get that "pale" effect when I usually put white sunscreen on my olive skin. It gives a really nice glow to the skin, doesnt irritate my skin and it has strangely cleared up imperfections really quickly, so I'm happy. The only thing is at times it can look a little greasy, but nothing a little makeup or powder can't solve. I havent tested its effects by the pool/sea so I dont know how effective it would be in combination with water but for overall sun protection this is definately HG for me

Eye Makeup Remover -Simple - Eye Make-Up Remover

I love this product! I use it to take off eye and face makeup. It leaves my eyes and face feeling very fresh and doesnt irritate my extremely sensitive skin. Will definately be repurchasing.

Great at cleaning off all makeup, although I don't use it to remove eye makeup I just use Olive oil for that. But yeah it gets the job done and I havent experienced any breakouts

Foundations -Chanel - Pro Lumiere Professional Finish Make-Up ] [DISCONTINUED]
Starla83 5/23/2011 8:02:00 PM
I heard a lot about this foundation and wanted to give it a go as its supposed to give you this glowing look, etc. The only thing I like about this product is the colour matches my skin tone. I fell in love with this when I first bought it, but it was all downhill from that day :( Even when using a primer and setting with powder it doesnt last and even feels like its coming off my face. When you apply at the start it looks kinda nice but after 5-6hrs i'd look in the mirror and my face looks totally different and just awful, even the colour of the makeup looks different! I've changed up moisturizers, primers, powders but i've come to the conclusion the foundation is just crap. Oh and I've found that if I don't use a primer it breaks me out :( So total disappointment :( You look shiny, greasy and just horrible after hours of wearing it and another downer is the price, because its so expensive you can't just throw it away if you dont like it :(

Toners -Unlisted Brand - Bragg's Apple Cider Vinegar
Starla83 5/23/2011 7:50:00 PM
I have to give quite a lot of credit to ACV as this had pretty much cleared most of my acne. However, I think this was mostly due to the ACV tablets I took (tablets because I can't stomach the taste of drinking it) rather than the topical application (1:3 ratio). The AVC tablets and toner worked well at the beginning and my acne cleared up in less than a week. But when I stopped taking the tablets, the toner didnt really do that much. It did lighten up some of my acne scars within the first 2 weeks but some more "stubborn" scars are just taking their time to heal, so perhaps there is only so much this can do. I'm still highly rating it though as this is the sole product that cleared most of my acne so I have much love for ACV

Moisturizers -Desert Essence - Jojoba Oil - 100% pure
Starla83 5/18/2011 2:47:00 PM
I love this stuff. I bought it from the company Fushi....and I really do love this. I got it after hearing it was good for acne and acne scarring. Most of my acne has healed up pretty well however I'm now left with scars. After initially applying it before bed, it felt greasy/oily and i was pretty worried that it isn't going to be a pretty picture when I wake up the next day. Surprisingly, my skin was SO soft and smooth...it wasn't oily....and even better, it lightened my scars. So I've been now using this every evening in substitute for a moisturizer. Happy days!

Skincare - Face -Liz Earle - Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish
Starla83 5/18/2011 2:39:00 PM
So after being sucked into all the hype about Liz Earle products I decided to give this a go. At first I initially liked it, it removed my makeup nicely and didn't leave me with this "tight" feeling on my face. I use the muslin cloth quite gently on my face, and granted it does leave my skin very soft and smooth.....but also in some areas quite red and a bit sore (and no i wasnt scrubbing the life out of my skin!). It didn't really do much for problematic areas of my skin either. Also, I didnt think constantly washing the muslin cloth would be a problem.....but after a while constantly washing the cloth really does begin to annoy you. Although, I'm not one to use a facial cloth when using cleansers so this is just a personal preference. In summary, after using it for a month or so....it is now sitting in my bathroom drawer. Sadly, I bought this because it was being hyped up everywhere as this amazing product, however I think its ok at best nothing amazing and I definately won't be repurchasing.
