Eyeliner -L'Oreal - Super Liner

This is the best liquid eyeliner I've tried. The foam applicator makes it really easy to apply and it stays on for a really long time. I tend to save it for nights out as it makes me look a bit too made up during the day. From what I remember it was fairly priced, I'll definitely buy it again!

Liquid -Almay - Smart Shade Makeup SPF 15

I really wanted to like this foundation but there were just waaaay too many problems with it. First of all, the coverage is so sheer it's more like a tinted moisturiser than a foundation. Secondly, it really highlighted dry patches. Also, and perhaps this is the most important point of all, it doesn't match my skin tone! I have it in the lightest shade and it still goes on slightly orange! There's no way I'll even use this up, nevermind buy it again.

Blush -Maybelline - Expert Wear Blush

Overally, this is a fairly good blush. I have it in 62 Rosewood. It's good for everyday wear as it's not too bold a colour or too shimmery. The only problem I have is that you have to put quite a bit on to actually see any colour! Also; what's with the rubbishy little brush it comes with?!

Pressed Powders -Rimmel - Stay Matte Pressed Powder (ALL)
doipreston 8/1/2010 11:47:00 AM
I bought this powder in 001 transparent, however, it does have a tendency to make my already pale skin look a bit ghostly. To actually 'stay matte' I have to reapply it a couple of times a day. It doesn't make me break out, which is always a bonus. Other than that, it's just your average, typical pressed powder. I'll use it up, but I'm unsure whether I'll buy it again.

Mascara -Maybelline - Volum' Express Lift-Up [DISCONTINUED]

One of my friends gave me this mascara after she'd tried it a couple of times because she didn't like it. I, however, LOVED it. It gave a lot of volume and made my lashes look pretty long. I've just finished the tube and I'd definitely buy it again!

Mascara -Rimmel - Volume Flash The Max in Extreme Black 003
doipreston 8/1/2010 11:39:00 AM
This is definitely one of the worst mascaras I've ever tried. It doesn't give any volume, length or curl. It doesn't separate my lashes at all well so I end up looking like I have spider's legs for eyelashes! There's no way I'd buy this mascara again...I'm just glad it wasn't ridiculously expensive!
