Treatments -Ren - Glycolactic Skin Renewal Peel Mask
rated 5 of 5

Wonderful exfoliator. Reinvigorates skin upon first application: dull skin brightened, pores deep-cleansed, tonal uniformity restored. Powerful yet non-abrasive. A real find.

A sophisticated yet playful spring update for your varnish collection. An unusual and beguiling blue. Beautiful.

Treatments (Eye) -Eve Lom - Eye Lift
rated 5 of 5

Wonderful! Really does do exactly what it says on the proverbial tin! Powered by retinol, it noticeably lifts sagging at brow level. A stalwart in the eye product arsenal!

Moisturizers -Eve Lom - Intense Hydration Serum
rated 5 of 5
ceen 5/19/2013 4:28:00 PM

Plumps up skin, restoring optimal hydration levels without risk of congestion. A little miracle worker for dehydrated, combination complexions in search of a remedy without fear of spot repercussions. A delight!

What a find! Transformative/rejuvenating effect on dull skin from first application. Clarifies & tones, restoring lost luminosity. Love, love, love...

The product that keeps on giving: lines and milia, that is! Avoid.

BB Cream -Christian Dior - Diorskin Nude BB Creme
rated 5 of 5
ceen 4/5/2013 5:52:00 PM

Superb. Creates a skin-enhancing feather-light veil, giving the illusion of 'great' skin on merely 'good' skin. So not for those who favour coverage. That said, fans of perceptible coverage could mix with this product with their preferred base to good effect.

Wow. Superb. Truly transformative: uber, clump-free volume in seconds. YSL False Effect begone!

Self Tanners -St.Tropez - Gradual Tan Everyday Mousse
rated 5 of 5
ceen 2/15/2013 5:45:00 PM

Excellent 'everyday' tanning mousse: (i) achieves natural-looking, buildable results; (ii) subtlely scented; (iii) lightly moisturising; and, (iv) wears off evenly. In short, an ideal self-tanner for those with fair complexions wary of using self-tanning products for fear of unnatural-looking and/or 'orange' results.

Styling Products -Aveda - Pure Abundance Style Prep
rated 1 of 5
ceen 1/22/2013 7:26:00 PM

This is named 'style prep'. So what does it prepare hair for exactly? In my case, transformed freshly washed hair into a bird's nest with just a few squirts. Must get something to protect against random product lure!

Treatments -Aveda - Brilliant Damage Control Spray
rated 4 of 5
ceen 1/22/2013 7:12:00 PM

Excellent when used as a finishing spray to add body and movement. Distinctly unimpressive when used for its other intended purpose as a blow dry protector. The problem? High alcohol content + heat = well, you know the story!

Fragrances -La Prairie - Life Threads Gold
rated 5 of 5
ceen 1/22/2013 6:41:00 PM

Bottled opulence. Sophisticated and richly complex. Uniquely impressive. Available superlatives can't do it justice!

Shampoo -Redken - All Soft Shampoo
rated 2 of 5
ceen 1/7/2013 7:22:00 PM

Disappointing. Like the All Soft Conditioner, this shampoo excessively softens fine-medium hair to the point of uncontrollability. As with any supposed softening hair product, the optimal result is a softening action which is compatible with preferred styling techniques. Last word: fine to medium hair should avoid.

Bronzers -Chanel - Soleil Tan Fluide (Sheer Illuminating Fluid) in Sunkissed
rated 5 of 5
ceen 1/7/2013 7:14:00 PM

Wonderfully light and natural-looking bronze liquid highlighter. As its name suggests, lends a sunkissed appearance. So no harshness to be had. Thoroughly recommended.

Conditioner -Redken - All Soft Conditioner
rated 2 of 5
ceen 1/7/2013 7:04:00 PM

Disappointing. Hair softened, yes, but excessively so, to the point of unmanageability and resistance to (usually successful) styling techniques.
