Eyeliner -Collection 2000 - EXTREME 24 HOUR FELT TIP LINER
romanah 1/11/2013 8:40:00 AM
I have been using this liner for the past 3 months and prefer it to the mac / bobbi brown gel pots / eye liner pens. Its easy to apply, long lasting (although i do get a little fade by the end of the day) and a bargain at £2.99. The packaging is ok, nit as nice as a high end brand but you cant complain at the price! I now keep a couple of back ups!

Palettes -Sleek - Au Naturel

I really like the minimal sleek packaging. I also love the combination of shades and textures in this palette - I prefer it to us naked. Some of the colours on the top row are not very pigmented -I like to use them for a light wash of colour. A great , versatile palette that I use most days. .

Blush -Bobbi Brown - Pot Rouge for Lips and Cheeks in Pale Pink

The pale pink colour of this product is lovely - fresh, flattering and healthy looking. I like this shade as it looks natural but you can build it up for the evening (the product is highly pigmented). I have rated this overall as a 4 - great for cheeks but not so good for the lips, I think it tends to look cakey. I dont think the product is expensive for what you get and I like thge simple, neat packaging. A must buy every day product.

Moisturizers -MAC - Strobe Cream

I love strobe cream and I've now been using it for the past couple of years. It's my number one natural looking highlighter for my cheeks and brow bone (I also use it under foundation, or on its own). It's ideal when you like tired (read hungover!) or your skin looks dull. I also use it on my legs and arms mixed with a little mosturiser - it gives a really healthy looking sheen.

Treatments -Estee Lauder - Idealist Dual Action Refinishing treatment
romanah 12/14/2009 4:14:00 PM
I have been using this product for a month. I bought it to freshen my dull winter complexion. Has it worked - to a certain extent. I havent benefited from all of the claims Estee Lauder makes about this product including 'dramatically resurfaced skin', that said I do like the thermal aspect of the product and it is a good-ish (quite gentle) exfoliator. Would I buiy it again - no - I think I will go back to MAC's microfine refinisher.

Fragrances -Jo Malone - Red Roses

Ok I like the scent of this fragrance - rose with a hint of spearmint - however it's just not that great on me (esp after a couple of hours). I am now spraying on bedding and towels- they smell divine! I wouldnt buy it gaain as it is very expenisve as a linen spray. As always with Jo Malone the packing is beautifully simple.

Eyeliner -Bobbi Brown - Gel Eyeliner
romanah 12/14/2009 3:56:00 PM
Couldnt recomend more highly - I wear gel eye liner everyday and this is the best I have found. (Previously used the MAC pot liner for a couple of years but this product beats it hands down) I can wear this all day (&night!) with no colour fade or transfer. Edit - in the past year i have bought a couple these pots and have had them dry out on me. I have swapped over to collection 2000s felt eye liner. Much less mess and a fraction of the price.

Brows -BeneFit Cosmetics - Speed Brow

I really like this product - esp the tint - it makes my dark eyebrows look groomed all day. I also like the fact it's a quick and easy 2 in 1 (gel and tint) product to use.
