OK. Now this might just be me but I put this on and it gave me a horrific Migrane (i have never had these before, ever) and i was actually sick And in the end my hair looked no different Even without the crazy migrane this is really not worth the effort STAY AWAY!!

This is AMAZING! Girls, if i could give you one piece of skincare advice it would be this: Use rose facial oil instead o9f moisturiser - it makes your skin sooo much more radiant and clear!

Foundations -Maybelline - Dream Matte Mousse
lixatron 1/28/2006 5:34:00 AM
Hmm, ok i have had this before and liked it. I think it does make your skin look a little dry but ok for normal skin with lots of moisturiser underneath. Anyway, this time it has made me break out really badly. I couldn't work out what it was for ages, but by a process of elimination, it is this product. My skin is not generally sensitive so its weird. It might just not be good with my skin but something to think about

Styling Products -TiGi - Bed Head Control Freak Extra Extra Straight 4
lixatron 10/28/2005 7:34:00 AM
I LOVE this! Ok when I bought it I thought, come on, this is a huge con. And of course it did not eliminate the need for straightening irons. But what it did was made my hair way straighter after using the irons - it does not usually go poker straight but this time it did! This is how i used it. I sprayed it on towel dried hair, blast dried, then used irons. Fab!

Cleansers -Chanel - Precision Radiance Cleansing Foam- Rinse Off
lixatron 5/5/2005 11:13:00 AM
Well i expect a lot from my cleanser. Yes it should take all my make up off-and there are enough cleansers that don't even do that-but it should also enhance my skin. I found that this left it looking clean and radiant, without feeling tight. I also loved the texture, as it looks pearlessent and smells ok too. Very good for a dept store cleanser!!

Foundations -BeneFit Cosmetics - Play Sticks
lixatron 4/23/2005 5:17:00 PM
I think this has amazing coverage, and i can't understand why some of the other reviewers say it doesnt as it is a very thick foundation. It is slightly oily so i would recommend using a foundation primer with this if your skin is even slightly oily, but that means that unlike most heavy foundations, it is great for dryer skins!!! Good colours too.

Styling Products -L'Oreal - Smooth Intense Anti-Frizz Serum
lixatron 4/2/2005 10:53:00 AM
Oh I love this. I have dry hair due to daily straightening, excessive colouring etc, and this makes is nice and soft, shiny and smooth. I use quite a lot on my sholder length hair to combat frizz, but it never looks greasy or over-loaded. Use on damp hair before drying, dry hair before straightening and/or as a finishing product. The price is good and it is better than loads of high end serums I have tried.

Misc Beauty Tools -Tweezerman - pointed tweezers
lixatron 3/28/2005 6:22:00 AM
I HATE these. They ripped my eyelids to shreads and they cost me £12. I have been plucking my eyebrows for 10 years and have used othe pointed tweezers before and never had anything like this. Seriously, my eyelids are covered in gross sore red bumps. YUCK!!

Treatments -Korres - Shea Butter and Vitamins Nourishing Hair Mask
lixatron 3/13/2005 4:41:00 PM
I really liked this. I have tried a lot of intensive conditioners for my over proessed hair, and this is definately one of the best i have ever tried. It leaves my hair noticable smoothers and it feels really soft. Also it is cheaper than other products which deliver similar results.

Cleansers -Ponds - Deep Cleanser Cold Cream
lixatron 2/27/2005 2:08:00 PM
Hmm, this product is OK. I have nothing bad to say about it but nothing good either. Its cheap and a regular cream cleanser, but i much prefer Liz Earle's Cleanse and Polish which is a little bit more expensive bit makes your skin sparkle!! This cleanses but nothing else. It also made my skin feel tight and irritated on the first few uses, but then seemed fine.

Cleansers -LUSH - Ultrabland
lixatron 2/16/2005 10:41:00 AM
Now this is supposed to be like Eve Lom cleanser at a fraction of the price. Too good to be true? Well frankly, yes. If used as per instruction, I don't like this product one bit as a cleaner, as it does nothing for removing eye makeup and there is still lots of foundation left on my face, as I can tell when I use my toner. But I don't liek to waste a product, so I have found an alternative way of using it. If you massage it onto your face as a mask in the bath and leave for 5-10 mins, then remove it with a warm damp cloth, it is quite good. Very cheap and all good ingredients, just nothing special

Blush -BeneFit Cosmetics - Georgia ] ] [DISCONTINUED]
lixatron 2/13/2005 9:57:00 AM
Now I really don't see that this product does anything. It looked nice in the shop when the girl put it on my face - glowing and fresh - but it does absolutely nothing in normal light. It is a soft peach color in the box, but delivers nothing to the face - not that I wanna look like tango queen, but I thought "peaches and Cream" complexion maybe. I gave it 1 lippes cos it smells divine, like sherbert or something. It might look slightly better with a tan but on my light skin it did nothing. I so wanted to love this but just can't. But it is not all wasted as I still sit and sniff it from time to time!!!

Eye Shadow -Rocket City - Alien Eyes Shadow Trio
lixatron 2/13/2005 7:32:00 AM
I have given this three because the pigmentation is good and it stays nicely on the eyes. I bought On A Mission, which is a pink, grey and black. However, it is very very crumbly, and unless you treat this like fine bones china, it breaks up and goes everywhere. A nice product but not for the accident prone such as myself!!!

Treatments -TiGi - Bed Head Chocolate Head Massive Hair Repair Treatment
lixatron 2/12/2005 6:34:00 PM
This smells divine!! This may sound dumb but when I bought it I didnt know it actually smelt like chocholate, but boy, it smells amazing. The first time I used this it transformed my hair, which was going through a seriously dry phase. I gave it 4 because after a few uses the result are only so-so, but defnitely good to use every now and then if you have a special occasion!!!
