Unfortunately, this just didn't work for me. I used it once a day with the 'delicate' brush head and took the utmost care to slowly glide it across my skin, rather than pressing down. After two weeks, the only difference was that my skin was drier, spottier and redder than before. I didn't change any other part of my routine. I'll stick with my Eve Lom clothes!

Skincare - Body -Bio Oil - All Products
rated 5 of 5

I had some stomach problems a couple of weeks ago that caused my belly to swell up to twice its usual size for about five days. My usually flat stomach looked pregnant. So I was very upset to realise I suddenly had red, raised stretchmarks. I've been using Bio Oil for about a week and I'm so impressed. I can hardly see the marks now. I will continue using for another few weeks and will then update. My brother has some bad recent scarring on his chest, so I'm going to post a bottle to him. I don't know if this product would improve older scars or stretchmarks.

Mascara -Bourjois - Volume Glamour Ultra Black Mascara

It's brilliant. I'm gutted I spent £17.50 on Chanel Inimitable last week, which is terrible. I got this mascara for about £6 from Superdrug. Stays on beautifully. I'm very impressed with the staying power as I've been out in heavy wind and rain. As for volume, oh yes. Holds a curl and lengthens too. I can't fault this stuff, I'm just scared it'll be discontinued!

Eyeliner -Bourjois - Liner Feutre - 11 Noir

Great stuff. Easy to apply and stays on brilliantly. I'm surprised that no one has mentioned how glossy it looks. On my eyelids, it has a shine like vinyl.

Lipstick -MAC - Satin Lipstick - Myth

The first tube of this I got a few years ago wasn't great. But when I replaced it after losing it in a nightclub, I was really impressed with my new one. I wonder if they've changed the formula. It used to be too dry, but now it goes on smoothly. Perfect for blanking my lips out. I reccommend!

Mascara -Chanel - Inimitable Mascara Multi-Dimensionnel
rated 2 of 5

For the price, this is awful! I really did expect better things. It promises everything (volume, curl, length) and delivers nothing. The only mascara to completely kill my curl. This should be marketed as a natural-look mascara. I am hoping to get my money back.

Eye Shadow -Urban Decay - Goddess

I am so disappointed by this. I have a few other UD eyeshadows, all of which are amazing. This looks great in the pan, but it's awful. It hardly even shows up when used wet. The texture is awful - so gritty and hard. I feel gutted about paying so much for this. AVOID.

Misc Beauty Tools -MAC - Full lash curler
rated 2 of 5
dissolved_girl 3/1/2006 6:45:00 AM

I really expected good things of this curler. However, it crimped and bent my lashes. No curl here. I have been using eyelash curlers for many years, but this is awful. I want to try Shu or Shiseido but can't get them where I live so it's back to my cheap curlers.

Eyeliner -Maybelline - Eye Express Eyeliner
rated 3 of 5

This eyeliner is easy to apply and dries quickly but I find it tends to flake off after a few hours and leave me with specks of black all around my eyes.

Cleansers -Clarins - Gentle Foaming Cleanser for Dry or Sensitive Skin
rated 4 of 5
dissolved_girl 4/11/2003 12:40:00 PM

My skin has always been very sensitive to cleansers but after reading the reviews on this one, I decided to try it. Although a little pricey, it works well. It made my skin feel clean, and unlike most cleansers, not irritated or tight. I still had a few flakes but my skin felt comfortable and looked generally healthy.
