Bronzers -Bourjois - Delice de Poudre
gemski107 2/27/2012 1:47:00 PM
This bronzer is great...I'm an avid MAC bronzer user, but a friend recommended this for everyday use as it is so much cheaper and can be bought from any high street chemist. I am so impressed with the quality for the price. Only downside is that there is no mirror!

Lip Gloss -MAC - Sugarrimmed Dazzleglass
gemski107 12/30/2011 7:00:00 AM
Like all MAC Dazzleglass lipglosses, this product is thick and sticky...but the sparkle is amazing! Sugarrimmed looks great over MAC Creme Cup lipstick, but also looks gorgeous applied alone. Dazzleglass lipglosses are quite expensive and one bottle doesn't seem to last long...but they are worth it! Really shiny/glittery and long lasting once applied...Sugarrimmed is my favourite shade.

Lip Gloss -MAC - Pinkarat
gemski107 12/30/2011 6:54:00 AM
I love this lipgloss, it's one of my favourite MAC shades. It's great for everyday use, it's pink with a hint of coral and gold glitter...it looks great over a nude or pale pink lipstick e.g. MAC Faux or MAC Creme Cup. I've repurchased this gloss so many times, Star Nova used to be my staple MAC lipgloss, but I much prefer Pinkarat.

Fragrances -Vivienne Westwood - Let It Rock
gemski107 12/17/2011 12:17:00 PM
I bought this perfume blind, as I couldn't find a tester in any shops...when I first sprayed it, I was disappointed, it smelt like old ladies! However, within five minutes this perfume smelt divine! It dries to a very floral, but quite sophisticated scent. I use it as a daytime perfume and I am always getting compliments on it. I love how not many people wear it as it's quite difficult to find and I love how people don't immediately know which perfume it is. This perfume was also a bargain, I picked it up on the cheap smells website for less than £20 for a 50ml bottle! I will definitely purchase it again, I've been wearing it everyday since i bought it! My only issue is the bottle...I think the bottle is cute and fab, but it doesn't match the scent at all! The bottle suggests that the scent is young and fresh...whereas I would say that the scent is quite mature and luxurious, not really for a teen! Overall, I would recommend this perfume, I think it's gorgeous...but I think it definitely isn't a scent that will suit everyone.

Polishes -China Glaze - Evening Seduction
gemski107 10/22/2011 10:28:00 AM
My favourite China Glaze shade :-) Lasts around 4 days without chipping, no need for a top coat as it is shiny on it's own. Amazing shade, would recommend to anyone...only negative is the brush, China Glaze brushes are not as good as OPI.

Polishes -OPI - Red Hot Ayers Rock
gemski107 6/7/2011 8:20:00 AM
One of my favourite polishes!! Gorgeous red, not a blood red, it has a slight pink tint to it. It is a very wearable colour that's suits anyone and fits in any season...it looks particularly nice on toes during the summer :-) It is also good quality, I find all OPI polishes to be good. I love that it is completely matte, I much prefer matte reds to shimmer reds. Couldn't recommend more highly :-) x

Eyeliner -MAC - Kohl Power Eye Pencil in Feline
gemski107 5/14/2011 4:12:00 PM
The blackest eye liner I have ever used! This eye liner is the blackest black and also lasts a long time, which makes it great value for money. The only flaw is that because it is so soft, it can smudge a little too much throughout the day...however it is easily wiped away. Would definitely recommend, I wear it every day!

Lipstick -MAC - Impassioned (Amplified)
gemski107 5/14/2011 4:07:00 PM
Amazing, eye-catching colour!! Absolutely love how bright and 'popping' this colour is, looks absolutely fab for a night out. Makes teeth look ultra white...I have really blue eyes and the contrast against this lipstick makes them look even more blue. I ALWAYS get compliments when wearing this shade. The staying power is unbelievable, I can apply this for a night out and not have to reapply...in fact, my lips are still bright pink the next morning! If anyone fancies a lipstick that really does pop and is completely eye-catching, then this is for them :-)

Lipstick -MAC - Lustre in Lady Bug
gemski107 5/14/2011 4:02:00 PM
My favourite red lipstick :-) I wear red lipstick a lot and this is by far my favourite...fantastic colour, the right amount of gloss and lasts all night. In fact it's staying power is so good that my lips can still be stained the next morning!! The colour is a little less blue than other red Mac lipsticks, I'm blonde and NW30, but I can imagine that this colour would suit most people. Amazing, couldn't recommend more highly!!

Shampoo -Batiste - Dry Shampoo
gemski107 3/30/2011 3:54:00 PM
This stuff is amazing, the best dry shampoo I've ever come across :-) I have the original and the Diva version...I much prefer the scent of the Diva version. The product makes hair look clean and adds volume to the roots...a blow dry lasts an extra day with one spray of the product. And most of all, it's dirt cheap! Complete bargain, I'm never without it.

Fragrances -Vera Wang - Glam Princess
gemski107 3/18/2011 10:40:00 AM
Lovely perfume! I received it as a gift and wasn't too sure at first, mainly because I adore the original Princess and didn't think it would compare. Although I still prefer the original, this is a close second. Really cute packaging too, probably the cutest of all the Princess fragrances. I've had many compliments whilst wearing this fragrance, would definitely recommend!

Fragrances -Chloe - Love, Chloé
gemski107 3/18/2011 10:38:00 AM
A really pretty perfume, smells very girly. I have received compliments whilst wearing this fragrance. Would buy again, but feel as though it's a daytime fragrance, I wouldn't wear it in the evening.

Blush -MAC - Blushcreme - Posey
gemski107 3/18/2011 10:37:00 AM
Gorgeous colour, really does give that 'pinched' look! (I'm NW25) Only a really tiny bit is needed, so it lasts ages and is good value for money!

Concealers -MAC - select cover-up
gemski107 3/18/2011 10:33:00 AM
I can honestly not live without this product! It's amazing at covering spots and giving skin a clear appearance without looking too 'caked on' over foundation. The product is good value for money, I use it every day (sometimes twice if re-doing make-up) and one little tube lasts around 9 months. Would definitely recommend to anyone who needs a little more cover than normal :-)

Treatments -Unlisted Brand - Sudocrem
gemski107 3/18/2011 10:31:00 AM
I have suffered with bad skiin for around 11 years and this is the only thing that has come to close to making my skin clear! I can't believe I suffered for that long when all I needed was sudocrem! I only use it at night and it is great at clearing up spots. It hasn't made my skin perfect, but has improved it massively. I've been using it religiously now for around 2 years and it still works well.
