I have 010 Ivory and I love this foundation. It gives me fairly good coverage, is well pigmented and glides on smoothly and feels light and comfortable on. It does not seem to be caky and blends well for me.

I bought the cream version and I absolutely love it, it feels nice and soft on my skin, glides on smoothly and instantly makes my skin smoother. It also works extremely well under foundation, gives it long lasting staying power and feels great on. I would definitely recommend this product.

Liquid -Maybelline - Dream Satin Liquid

I bought this product because when I saw the advert I thought it sounded really nice. However though it does look nice on at first, I found that even the lightest touch to your face and the makeup is coming off. My hands get covered in this makeup throughout the day and so do my clothes which looks terrible. I would not buy this product again, it is so poor at staying on your face. I use primer before foundation and powder to set and I know both work well with all of my other foundations.

Hair Styling Tools -GHD - Gold Classic styler

Ok so I have extremely thick and frizzy hair, its naturally extremely curly and I always straighten it after I wash it because it is very annoying otherwise. Wet it is pretty but when it dries it gets huge. Anyway so I have been using regular GHD's for years but my mum and I shared them and then for Christmas I got the gold ones. At first I loved them, the packaging was gorgeous, they came with a stunning looking little mirror and a hair dryer. It also came in a pirates chest type box that was so beautiful. I am used to them now and use them all the time but when I started using them at first I was dissappointed because they were so slippy they wouldnt hold my hair enough to straighten it, I had to grip so strongly that my hand was getting sore. I dont know if its product buildup or what but they're not as bad now. I love the zip up heat resistent bag they come in, its beautiful and really handy for storing them. I dont use the hairdryer as I already had a really good one and I didnt find this one powerful enough. As I say though I do have very thick and fairly long hair so I need a fair bit of power in my hiar dryer. The GHD's heat up really quickly which is great for me as I am quite busy and have to straighten my fringe in the mornings in a hurry. They cool fairly quickly as well, a bonus and have a good length of cabel without being too long. Overall I like them alot, but wish they were just a little less slippy.

Fragrances -Marc Jacobs - Daisy Eau de Parfum

I really love this perfume. I think the sent is really nice, its quite young and fresh and kindof sweet. Its also not overpowering but strong enough to notice it on you. The bottle and packaging is stunning. I love the bottle lid with the daisys on it. A little expensive but not bad for such a good perfume and from such a prestigious designer.

Shampoo -John Frieda - Sheer Blonde Highlighting Shampoo

I really like this shampoo. It smells really nice, kindof like honey. It does actually contain honey. It feels really nice to put on and you only need a small amount. I have really thick hair and I normally have to use alot of shampoo but I didnt with this one. The conditioner made my hair really silky too. I would recommend it.

Hair Color -Clairol - Nice 'n Easy Perfect 10

Ok, I have very dark blonde hair naturally, I would mostly call it brown but it does have some blonde bits at the front. I tried dyeing it with the lightest blonde, it went horribly wrong, though I would say I didnt do it very well to be fair. I dyed the top, the lightest part, first, took too long doing it, then dyed the rest really quickly. I did leave all of it on for the ten minuites however it made little differnce to the lengths of my hair but turned the top a blaringly bright orange. Horrible! I then tried making it better by using the light ash blonde, it did help a bit. I then dyed my hair a few weeks later using the medium golden blonde 8G. This didnt help, its now even more orangy then after I'd used the light ash blonde. I'm not overly impressed however I would say my hair was fairly dark to start with and I didnt do the application very well, however I dont think that it was ever going to be brillient. Maybe it works better with already light blonde hair, but then whats the point, if you already have light blonde hair, you wouldnt need the dye surely. Overall not a great review but perhaps if I had used this dye on my natural hair the results would have been better.
