Eye Shadow -Inglot - Freedom System Palette
rated 5 of 5

Yes, a great alternative to MAC. Stays on all day with a primer, doesnt crease, minimal fall out, no creasing, for about half the price of MAC products. Better range of colours too - for eyes. I'm sold. Converting to Inglot for Eyeshadows.

Lips -Sephora - Ultra Vinyl Lip Pencil

Love these chubby-stick lookalikes. Nice natural MLBB shade with decent staying power at a good price. Goes well for a day look or with a smokey eye. Will repurchase.

Eyeliner -Sephora - Jumbo Eye Pencil
rated 5 of 5

I've got 7 of these so obviously I love them. I started with 2, then I bought another 5. Great pricing and sometimes performs even better than my Laura Mercier Cavier Eye stick, which doesnt spread evenly on my lid. These Sephora ones last all day, doesnt smudge and spreads nice and evenly. I use it with shadow on top to create an intense lid look. I'd probably buy the whole line if I wore all of the colours!

Lip Gloss -MAC - Lustreglass in Beaux
rated 4 of 5
monvai 4/9/2013 11:44:00 PM

I like it as it is MLBB material. Its a nice nude that goes with a dark smokey eye. A lot of people here have commented on the brush but personally I prefer the doe wand - the brush wand seems a little delicate to me and it takes more time to put on the lip gloss. I will probably purchase again for the nude, polished lip look.

Shampoo -Giovanni - 2Chic Brazillian Keratin & Argan Oil Ultra-Sleek Shampoo
rated 5 of 5
monvai 12/31/2012 9:54:00 PM

I cant believe the reviews on this product either. My hair is NOTICEABLY shinier, more manageable and less frizzy after using this products. To save money, I decided to use another brand, and the difference was obvious. I immediately went online and ordered 3 more tubes of this shampoo. I love the texture of the shampoo too. Only con is that the cap doesnt close properly.

Moisturizers -SKII - Facial Clear Solution
rated 2 of 5
monvai 11/2/2012 5:26:00 AM

Its light and it absorbs nicely into the skin underneath make up. Thats it. It did not prevent oily skin, or have any other features. I like the packaging but will not buy this again, as I would have rather bought a normal drugstore moisturizer.

Treatments -SKII - Repair C
rated 4 of 5
monvai 11/2/2012 5:23:00 AM

I bought this on account of the reviews here and I'm not dissapointed. I look more radiant in the mornings, and skin is clearer. I use it together with the SKII Clear Lotion and Stempower Moisturizer.

Moisturizers -SKII - Skin Signature Cream
rated 4 of 5
monvai 2/23/2012 9:16:00 PM

Id be lying if I said that there was no effect on my skin. I actually use this for my _day_ cream, and if you dont overload your skin with it, it works fine and absorbs for day time use (not shiny and greasy on your face). After 1 week I find my skin to look more dewy, smooth and clear. The price is a little much for me, but its still better than Creme de La Mer, and the effectiveness is better. all in all, Im likely to buy again if the results continue to be as such.

Treatments -Kiehls - Midnight Recovery Concentrate
rated 3 of 5
monvai 1/22/2012 11:26:00 AM

I've had 2 small sized samples of this product - of which Ive used well over 1.5 MONTHs. I can safely say that I dont think that it has much effect on my skin - the Powerful Strength Line-Reducing Concentrate works much much better. Ill keep using the samples though - but I wont buy the products. Simply cause I really like the smell and Id like to hope that it'd work someday..

Toners -SKII - Facial Treatment Clear Lotion
rated 4 of 5
monvai 11/23/2011 10:19:00 AM

One of the better Toners I have used. When used in conjunction with the Facial Treatment Essence, it works wonders. i like the fact that it does have AHA and I heard its supposed to lift dead skin cells as well (functions as a scrub). When used with the FTE, its magic. Its fine on its own but not as good as it is with the FTE!

Cleansers -Avalon Organics Botanicals - Vitamin C Facial Cleanser
rated 3 of 5
monvai 8/31/2011 12:45:00 PM

I liked the smell but I dont think it has any extra special qualities as a cleanser. Yes, I think it dries out the skin a little after washing and it stings the eyes like mad! Will not repurchase.

Treatments -La Mer - Regenerating Serum
rated 4 of 5
monvai 8/31/2011 12:23:00 PM

Again, worked really well on me for the first 2 months then no effect after that. Not necessarily the fault of the product but is the condition of the skin. I will buy again if I can find no other alternatives that is easier on the pocket.

Cleansers -La Mer - The cleansing lotion
rated 2 of 5
monvai 8/31/2011 12:20:00 PM

Yes, a cleansing lotion that does not dry your face-skin out after washing. Thats pretty much the only highlight of this cleanser. There's so much better out there!

Treatments (Eye) -La Mer - Eye Concentrate
rated 4 of 5
monvai 8/31/2011 12:15:00 PM

It was one of the first eye concentrate that actually did what it supposed to do - help reduce lines and dark eye circles. Because it worked so well with the samples I bought this over night, together with a full set of tonic, moisturizer, scrub, cleanser and etc. Yes it worked, but after a while my skin stopped responding to it. I dont think this is due to the product but my skin does that for every product. But because this is so hideously expensive, Ill choose to skip it if there are cheaper alternatives - I believe they are. If they dont work, Ill repurchase this again.
