LOVE this bb cream. Have used the other garnier one (too oily and orange) and the lioelle (okay but too grey) and this one is absolutely the winner. Has great coverage, leaves my skin feeling ready for a dusting of rimmels stay matt powder and I'm good to go. Love this stuff!

Love this stuff. Does just what you want it to. I only took points off for the shitty packaging and lack of mirror. Will buy again.

This is a gorgeous colour but damn its really just not pigmented enough and I've hit pan after two weeks just by the sheer volume I've had to use to make it show up! I'm a skin tone maybe a couple of steps up from ivory so might just be that it's not a match for me. Such a shame *cry*

This stuff is great. I have light brown hair and and paleish skin and the light colour is prefect for me. Lasts ages too. Love it!

Fragrances -Christian Dior - j'adore

I got this as a gift (lucky huh?). It's not a smell I would normally gravitate to (i like vanillery, fruity, minty or violet...or anything that's not this, really) but I really quite like it. Inoffensive floral springs to mind. Very pleasant. Has good lasting power. I don't think I'd buy it again but I am enjoying using it up.

Cleansers -Cetaphil - Gentle Skin Cleanser
rated 2 of 5

I was excited to try this cleanser, but ended up being really let down. Is jiz-like (sorry, but seriously) texture is gross and it doesn't clean my skin and it sort of broke me out. I used it all up hoping it was a 'purging' stage but i just kept purging and it never came right, Will not repurchase.

Styling Products -TRESemme - Fresh Start Dry Shampoo for Oily/Straight to Normal Hair
rated 1 of 5

Oh my godmother this dry shampoo is just AWFUL. Everyone on here who said it is crap was telling the truth. And yes, I used it correctly, it just made my hair feel revolting and the smell, though seemingly tolerable at first quickly became completely nauseating. I had to wash my hair twice to get this stuff out and my hair still feels like it has a residue on it. I will never stray from Batiste again? AVOID!!

BORING. Just a mish mash of florals. That's all I could come up with because I almost died of boredom smelling my wrist.

Fragrances -LUSH - Karma Solid Fragrance

I loved the soap version of this so was excited to see the perfume form and it was so inexpensive I picked it up straight away! Unfortunately I didn't enjoy it for a couple of reasons. Firstly that it just smells like coca cola on my skin and secondly it stains my skin orange. So, that's a shame!

Bath Treatments -LUSH - Ro's Argan Body Conditioner

It's the scent of this I am just dying over. I've never smelt anything I have loved so much! The product itself does a lovely job too but I must admit I buy it purely for the scent, absolutely gorgeous.

Crème -Estee Lauder - Resilience Lift Extreme Creme Compact Makeup

This is an alright foundation. But it's too expensive for how good it actually is. I've used most of it up only because it cost me so much and to be honest I'm looking forward to getting back to my drugstore foundation.

Mascara -Maybelline - The Falsies in Black Drama
rated 3 of 5
laurelrea 5/22/2012 6:45:00 AM

I guess my clue should have been in the name... It works if you want big spidery stuck together fake obviously wearing a tonne of mascara lashes. Also quite a wet formula which I always manage to get on my eyelids and smear everywhere. Not really my thing but have used worse.

One of the only natural looking bronzers I have ever found. I love this, just makes my skin look healthy and slightly glowing. I'll repurchase for sure.

Foundations -Garnier - BB Cream Miracle Skin Perfector Daily All-In-One
rated 3 of 5
laurelrea 5/22/2012 6:36:00 AM

I have this is the colour fair and I'm fairly fair and it's not too dark for me. I use this every day as a moisturizer/primer and I think it works well for that purpose. Doesn't really have enough coverage for my skin to use on its own. It evens my skin out nicely though in preparation for all the other crap I put on top of it.

A gorgeous highlighter. I use this under my mildly dark eyes and it seriously takes years off my face. I have fair to medium skin and I have this in the shade "soft" and it's absolutely perfect on me.
