Hair Styling Tools -Mason Pearson - Popular Bristle & Nylon Brush
StellaCH 10/1/2011 11:04:00 PM
Excellent brush It does not pull or break the hair. If you are a brusher this brush is a must. If you like combs ( I use a wide tooth one) like me.. this brush will not be necessary. my hair does not transform after using this.. Its a very good brush but I do prefer a comb over any brush.. My hair type: long and highlighted (no bleach) Good condition, no frizz. Tends to get flat at the roots.. tends to get weighed down and oily with most products.

Treatments -L'Oreal - ELVIVE Re-Nutrition Night Elixir
StellaCH 10/1/2011 10:59:00 PM
Very good product. I use it on wet hair and when hair dries it is full of body, reasonably soft, no flyways and generally very manageable. I don't use it as a night elixir for softness b/c I find the "kerastase noctogenist over night treament" is much better in making the hair super soft and silky. Elvive elixir does not weigh my hair down. At the price of under $10 Au I think it's excellent and will continue to purchase. My hair type: long and highlighted (no bleach) Good condition, no frizz. Tends to get flat at the roots.. tends to get weighed down and oily with most products.

Styling Products -Kerastase - Reflection Fluide Chroma Riche
StellaCH 9/28/2011 3:20:00 AM
Very nice. It doesn't weigh my hair down or make it oily. Hair, air dries beautifully and if i use it before a blow dry.. hair feels silky. However I feel there is something better out there. Am trying the "elixir ultime" next. My hair type: long and highlighted (no bleach) Good condition, no frizz. Tends to get flat at the roots.. tends to get weighed down and oily with most products

Treatments -Kerastase - Kerastase Reflection Chroma Reflect Rich Radiance-Enhancing Masque
StellaCH 9/28/2011 3:14:00 AM
Not worth the money imo. Upon application it gave me the impression that it was perfect. Hair felt incredibly soft. However once i rinsed it and let it air dry,, hair didn't feel as good as usual.. It kind of dries my hair more wavy than usual and not as managable as usual .. I am not a fan. Will not repurchase. My hair type: long and highlighted (no bleach) Good condition, no frizz.

Treatments -Kerastase - Noctogenist Overnight Revitalizing Treatment - FINE hair
StellaCH 9/28/2011 1:07:00 AM
This product is excellent! It does exaclty what it claims! I have used it on both dry and wet hair. I spray it on at night and by the morning my hair is silky soft and so very shiny! I love it.. It does not weigh it down or make it oily. Another great product I'd recommend would be the "elvive night elixir with royal jelly" That comes in a milky cream and is used exaclty like this product.. It gives lots of body and shine and makes hair soft.. It is a bargain at only $10 au. I like the kerastase product slightly better though. The elvive one has a sweet smell that I find offensive.. but overall a great product. My hair type: long and highlighted (no bleach) Good condition, no frizz. Tends to get flat at the roots.. tends to get weighed down and oily with most products. I bought the one for fine hair.

Treatments (Eye) -La Prairie - White Caviar Illuminating Eye Serum
StellaCH 2/28/2011 10:36:00 PM
I love this product! In fact the whole white caviar range works very well for my skin. I have been using LP for years but this line is my favourite and I am so glad I am getting results b/c the price is a joke. This serum is enough for my undereye area. It plumps up fine lines and reduces dark circles. I only use it at night. My g/f s have commented on how glowy my skin is looking. I can't really find anything wrong with this and believe me I am not bias. I wish I could find something cheaper that worked as well for me. It doesn't have to be LP!

Moisturizers -By Terry - Nectar Opulent
StellaCH 1/3/2011 5:14:00 AM
Fantastic product! Very moisturising, it plumps up fine lines and makes my skin look incredible! I love it especially as a neck cream. I have combination acne prone skin (never dry) enlarged pores anda few fine lines. This never breaks me out. I love it! I am not giving it 5 because I find the smell VERY strong. Much stronger than my La Prairie and it follows me for some time. It is not a bad smell just a dominating smell that even makes my eyes water sometimes!! Also I am not a fan of the packaging. It comes in a small glass jar of 50mL with a silver lid and in my opinion it looks like cheaper packaging. I am paying a lot for this cream so I expect more. The only creams that I like more than this it's La Prairie's new white caviar cream and anti stress cream. Both seem to calm my redness down (old blemishes)..

Mascara -By Terry - Mascara Blackstar
StellaCH 12/17/2010 9:38:00 PM
I have this in # 4 "purple jeans" Worst mascara I ever bought! It doesn't lengthen or add volume ( it claims to do so. Ultra volume and maxi length with keratin like Micro extensors) It doesn't even add colour.I have jet black eyelashes but tried purple mascara (YSL) before and it worked for me. I love some of her make up but some are just a total waste of money!!

Eye Shadow -By Terry - Silky Eye Shadow
StellaCH 12/17/2010 8:44:00 PM
I have these in #3 "Ginger biscuit" and #8 "silky plum". I have nothing good to say about these products. Very little pigment and staying power is poor Sure they come in a little pretty gold pot of 1.5g but that's all you are getting.. pretty packaging. I bought this off Strawberrynet.com for about $35 Au. They retail $70 at Mecca in Aus!! Total waste of money!!

Liquid -Chanel - Vitalumiere Aqua
StellaCH 10/17/2010 10:39:00 PM
Fantastic foundation! Good coverage feels light on the skin does not break me out and makes me look young and fresh. I bought shade no B30 and it is the most perfect colour for my light olive complexion! At first a little darker but it adjusts perfectly in mins. It doesn't oxidize and the SPF 15 is a huge plus. I apply with a brush for a med coverage and fingers for lighter coverage. My skin is pretty clear at the moment apart from some fading acne marks on the chin.This foundation covers them well and makes my skin look 99% flawless. It doesn'r settle into fine lines or enlarged pores! Finish is satin .. .Only drawback is that is makes me look oily after a few hours.Note I don't wear powder over it and I have slightly oily skin all over. Also staying power is not perfect! I like this more than the original vitalumiere, which I found too oily and heavy on the skin but hardly any coverage. Armani LSF, Nars glow, LM oil free and silk creme foundation, EL maximum coverage, By Terry light expert, By Terry veloutee. Available shades: (Copied from Chanel site) Ivory Beige ( for radiance) B10 Beige Pastel (Pink) B20 Beige Tendre (Soft) B30 Beige Sable (Sand) B40 Beige Desert (Desert) B50 Beige - Sienne Rose Beige ( matte shades) BR10 Beige Rose Paste (Pink) BR20 Beige Rose Tendre (Soft) BR30 Beige Rose Sable (Sand) Ceramic White Beige Ocre BO20 Beige Ocre Tendre (Soft) I forgot to add that is comes in a plastic squeezable botte of 30mL and consistency is a little watery..You need to shake well. I didn't realize how watery it was when I was trying on the samples alone.. it felt creamier.. This retails for $77 in Australia.

Liquid -La Prairie - Anti Aging Foundation SPF 15
StellaCH 10/1/2010 1:06:00 AM
I am sorry I had to delete my previous review for this as it was getting too messy. Too many updates. After over a year of using this on and off I came to realize that it is the best foundation I have used over the years. Not a HG though! This liquid foundation comes in a pump bottle. It gives me a satin finish but after a while I look a little shiny. Coverage can be anywhere from sheer to medium. I love this mixed with my moisturizer. It comes out as the best tinted moisturizer. I use shade #700 which is darker and more orange than my skin but my facialist adviced me to mix it with the #100 which is the lightest shade and I get the prefect colour!! What I like about this foundation is that is looks natural on me and gives radiance. I have combination acne prone skin. ( acne only on chin) This does not break me out and it does hide well. I am a light olive with yellow undertones. I wear By Terry light expert in Vanilla light By Terry lumiere in Sunny beige Estee Lauder maximum coverage in Med deep GA LSF in 5.5 Laura Mercier silk creme in sand beige GA face fabric in #3... I prefer it mixed with #4 for warmth. LP cellular powder in Sunlit beige. LP caviar in honey beige. The absolute best foundation but it breaks me me out!! Only gripe about this brand is the colour selection.

Powder -La Prairie - Cellular Treatment Foundation Powder
StellaCH 9/18/2010 6:55:00 PM
I have the new packaging. The rectangular silver case. This powder is outstanding. The only powder that I wear! It covers well it hides my pores gives a mat finish without looking chalky or too powdery/dry. It can be worn wet for a heavier coverage. it makes me look fresh and shine free.. I have the colour "sunlid beige" which is slightly darker than my light/med olive skin but I feel I need to go darker b/c I find their colours make me look very pale. Other foundations I wear: By Terry light expert in light vanillla By Terry lumier in # 6 Armani LSF in 5.5 colour is good, shade slightly beige. (I have yellow undertones) but it works. Armani Face fabric in #3.. I was matched professionally for all these colours. Word of warning. The sponge/brush can get a horrible smell after a while due to product build-up. Usually when worn over primer or another liquid foundation..
