Gels/Soaps -Palmers - Cocoa Butter Formula with Vitamin E Cream Soap
dOotsiez 11/2/2006 7:18:00 PM
I got this as a free bonus with the eventone cream. I find it okay - it certainly does the job of cleansing, and the good thing about it is that it doesn't dry up my face. But apart from that, I haven't seen anything amazing. For the price, it's a fair product, and I would buy it again.

Mascara -Max Factor - 2000 Calorie Mascara
dOotsiez 9/30/2006 8:43:00 PM
Don't see why there are that many bad reviews. I got this mascara for free as a small presie from a friend, and it's been very good to me. Nothing dramatic of course (but neither has any of my other mascaras done anything dramatic). What I love about this mascara is that it does not smudge on me. Usually, even waterproof mascaras smudge.

Skincare - Body -Bio Oil - All Products
dOotsiez 9/30/2006 8:39:00 PM
This product is amazing. I'm not sure if the brand is Innoxa, but Bio Oil does work wonders on my skin. I've been using this as a moisturiser for a month and a half, and my skin has become unbelievably smooth and soft. It does fade the post-acne redness. I haven't experienced any miracles though. It's definitely not greasy, and doesn't clog pores. Beats any of the cream or lotion moisturisers I've had in the past. And the quality is amazing for the price (AUD$14)

Moisturizers -Nivea - Creme
dOotsiez 4/15/2006 7:57:00 PM
White, thick and oily - I thought I was going to hate it when I bought it, but in fact, in turned out to be quite nice. Though it's very sticky and oily when I put it on at night, when I wake up in the morning, it makes my skin feel beautifully soft, and even though there is a mild scent, it totally disappears in the morning. I've never been a fan of Nivea, but thumbs up for this one.

Mascara -Maybelline - Volum Express Mascara
dOotsiez 4/10/2006 3:48:00 AM
I bought this because I was out of money and really needed a mascara. Must say I was VERY impressed. I got waterproof and it didnt smudge. The volume effect is simply amazing. I have typical asian eyelashes, they're tiny and points downwards. This fattened my lashes so much.

Moisturizers -Vaseline - Petroleum Jelly
dOotsiez 4/7/2006 5:45:00 AM
I have this in the smallest tub for 2 dollars. LUV IT! As everyone has already mentioned, this stuff is multi-functional. As a lip balm, foot balm, cuticle balm, hand moisturiser, lashes moisturiser and face moisturiser (only for some patches though), It ROCKS! I happen to like the tub packaging - theyr a bit inconvenient, but I just don't like the ugly tubes. I always carry a small tub of vaseline in my handbag. It's my emergency remedy for practically everything. I like the fact that it's only make up of one ingredient - petroleum - which is something I can understand, unlike some of the skincare products that have a hundred toxic chemicals that I've never heard of. If vaseline is bad for you, so are all lipsticks, lip balms, moisturisers etc. At least petroleum is not synthetic, and it's much less damaging than some of the colouring and preservatives in our food, and it's been around for over 100 years. - solid proof that it's a classic and it's a trustworthy product.

Concealers -Rimmel - Hide the Blemish
dOotsiez 4/6/2006 6:34:00 AM
Decent coverage, went over my spots nicely. Blendable and easy to use. Very cheap so that's a plus. BUT! Very greasy, didnt break me out, but make my skin look shiny after 2 or 3 hours. Also bad lasting power. I would repurchase despite the negatives, however, I took it travelling with me. When I got to China in the middle of June, IT MELTED on me! never again >.<

Lip Treatments -MAC - MAC For Disney TLC-Cleos Coral Kiss
dOotsiez 4/5/2006 3:42:00 AM
Cleo's the prettiest colour, luvv it. Though it looks scary orange in the container, it's actually a very soft and prettie colour. Has a tiny hint of shimmer, luvv it. Top quality lip conditioner, it makes my lips unbelievably soft, with the cutest packaging ever. Actually, i bought it for the packaging. It's a little expensive compared to other lip balms. but a little bit goes a long way, i think i'm going to have this for ages

Cleansers -Dove - Self Foaming Cleanser
dOotsiez 4/5/2006 3:30:00 AM
Not a HG cleanser, but does a decent job. I bought it because the girl working at the pharmacist recommended it. It is very gentle, doesnt sting like some of the other cleansers I've used (Clean and Clear, Neutrogena, Nivea, Garnier). While it's not moisturising enough for me, it doesnt dry up my skin, and it removes dirt and makeup effectively. I havent had a break out yet. I'm still looking for a gentle cleansers that moisturises at the same time, but for the time being, this is my holy grail

Moisturizers -L'Oreal - Happyderm [DISCONTINUED]
dOotsiez 4/5/2006 3:21:00 AM
I only use this as a night moisturiser, because during the day, I prefer a moisturiser with SPF. But this is great, it's very light - doesn't make my skin feel oily - and suits my combination skin. Great for summer. And it does a good job moisurising. I like the scent and the texture...and the color ^^ It's probably a moisturiser that I'll come back to, but I'm still looking for my HG

Lotions/ Creams -Dove - Body Silk
dOotsiez 4/5/2006 3:12:00 AM
This is definitely one of my HGs for winter. The texture is light and creamy, not greasy at all. Aborbs fast, not sticky, leaves skin incredibly smooth. And true to its name, this moistureriser does leave skin very silky and soft. I don't mind the scent, I think it is very refreshing, plus it's quite faint and goes away after a while. EDIT: i changed the ratings to 3. i've started to develop 4 red spots on my arm and legs, and i suspect Body Silk to be the cause

Cleansers -Clean & Clear - Oil Free Foaming Facial Cleanser
dOotsiez 4/3/2006 3:36:00 AM
Crappest cleanser I've ever used. Hate it. There is absolutely no need to strip EVERY DROP OF OIL off your face, but this cleaser does it. I went from being combo skinned to really dry skinned. I've started to get flakiness on my cheeks. Think I will return this one.

Lip Gloss -Revlon - Super Lustrous - Shine That Pink
dOotsiez 3/30/2006 4:25:00 AM
A fairly decent product for a fairly decent price. I like the texture, it's not stick. In fact, the whole SL line is great. This particular shade is not something I'd wear on a day to day basis - it's a bit too shiny and pink for my complexion. But I wear it occasionally for going out, and it looks gorgeous. Don't recommend wearing it for photos though
