Cleansers -DHC - Deep Cleansing Oil
orieos 11/14/2011 4:07:00 AM
This is a really nice cleansing oil. It's more on the thicker consistency. It really gets everything off quite nicely. Add a bit of water, and it will emulsify and come right off without leaving any residue behind. I quite like the scent, which basically smells like olive oil - it makes me think that there's not too many chemicals in there (even though there probably is a ton). I wish it was more readily available here in Aus, but unfortunately, I can only get it online and it's so much pricier than when I was overseas. Good stuff!

Lipstick -Chantecaille - Lip Chic
orieos 11/14/2011 4:01:00 AM
Super luxe lipsticks. Hydrating, long lasting and a beautiful glossy finish. I have Dahlia, Sari Rose, Capuccine and plan to get more! I just love how they don't try out my lips and stay on! They apply sheer at first, but you can build it up to a decent pigment, however they won't be opaque lipstick shades. The packaging is beautiful as well. Love, love, love!

Tinted Moisturizer -Chantecaille - Just Skin
orieos 11/14/2011 3:58:00 AM
I adore this tinted moisturiser. It gives off a nice natural finish, yet a light-lesser medium coverage. I need only a small amount and general focus it more on the centre of my face. It gives hydration to the skin as well without feeling sticky like some TMs tend to be. For reference, I use Bliss (NC25, NARS Fiji, Chanel 20, Bourjois Healthy Mix #52).

Moisturizers -Cetaphil - Moisturizing Cream
orieos 11/14/2011 3:52:00 AM
I always go back to Cetaphil when my skin is a. really dry, and nothing else can moisturise, and b. having a reaction to products. It's always a staple product in my bathroom, and it's great to use on the body as well. A little bit goes a long way with this product. I could happily use this for the rest of my life as a face & body moisturiser, but I get greedy and like to try other products more luxe.

Liquid -Bourjois - Healthy Mix Foundation
orieos 11/14/2011 3:47:00 AM
This is a really nice drugstore foundation. Its a medium coverage that can be switched up from a dewy to a satin finish depending on your moisturiser underneath. I love the airless pump packaging which allows so much control over how much product I'd like to use. It is lightly scented with a sort of apricot fruity smell. I prefer to use a stippling brush with this foundation as I prefer the coverage to be sheerer. If I use my hands to blend it in, I get a fuller coverage out of this foundation. The staying power is decent, I can get about 6 hours without it fading. That being said, I have normal/dry skin so foundation doesn't have an issue on staying put on my skin even without setting with powder. I'm in the shade 52, which suits an NC25, NARS Fiji, Chanel 20, Chantecaille Camomile, Stila Natural Finish in C, Stila Illuminating foundation in 40 watts.

Eye Makeup Remover -Garnier - Clean Sensitive 2-in-1 Waterproof Eye Makeup Remover
orieos 11/14/2011 3:35:00 AM
I love this eye make up remover! It gets off EVERYTHING. I've used Clinique Take The Day Off, Lancome Bi-Facil, NARS eye make up remover, Guerlain, e.t.c. and this blows them all out of the water... The performance is on par with Clinique and removes the most stubborn mascara (and I only use waterproof) but a fraction of the cost. I absolutely love this and will continue to repurchase it until it disappears off the shelf (seems like what drugstore brands like to do from time to time, hmph.) I also use this to remove the makeup off my face and it works really well - replacing my need for an oil cleanser. I do wish they would fix the packaging. It's one of the most wasteful design ever. Anyway, you've got to try this!
