Cleansers -Chanel - Gel Purete
rated 4 of 5

Although this is a little too drying on my skin in winter months I really like it because it removes all traces of make up and leaves your skin feeling fresh and smooth. It lasts for a very long time as you only need to use a very small amount and smells nice and clean. I've just bought my third.

Concealers -Clarins - Instant Light Perfecting Touch
rated 5 of 5

I like this because of the very light texture and natural finish is gives under the eyes. 00 is a perfect colour match for me, I've used the equivalent by YSL and Dior and this one is the best for me.

Liquid -Clarins - Skin Illusion Natural Radiance Foundation
rated 4 of 5
smjaber 11/9/2011 5:03:00 PM

I like this foundation because it feels light but also has good coverage. All you need is a little. I bought in Beige which is a little dark for my pale skin, I would repurchase one shade lighter. This is a good foundation for a natural looking finish and good base for a light powder on top. The colour stays the same all day long , no darkening. A pump bottle is always good for hygiene reasons. I'll carry on buying

Cleansers -Christian Dior - Mousse Tendre Nettoyante gentle foaming cleanser dry or sensitive skin
rated 1 of 5
smjaber 11/9/2011 4:29:00 PM

This cleanser is the worst ever! I bought it to replace the now discontinued Rince-off Gel cleanser also Dior which was really good and washed off all traces of make up unlike this one which doesn't lather up at all. This is a waste of money, do not believe what it says on the box.

This is the best of the Vera Wangs. It's a light floral smelling scent which has staying power. I always get comments on this scent, people love it!

Fragrances -Marc Jacobs - Daisy Eau de Parfum
rated 5 of 5

This is a nice gentle perfume which you can easily wear everyday. It's in a beautiful bottle too which first attracted me over to try it. It does remind a little of a soapy bath smell though and is definatly not my favourite perfume. This would make a good gift for a friend

Fragrances -Marc Jacobs - Lola

I was given this perfume as a birthday present. Firstly I have to say I love the bottle design, it really grabs your attention and looks great on your dressing table. I like the scent too, it's strong and feminine and lasts all day. It gave my friend a headache actually but I just got pleasant wafts throughout the day. It's great for a night out, too strong for work

Most natural brow pencil I know. I use it in black and it's very natural looking, not too black like some other brands. it's soft and powdery. I'll buy again

Brows -Rimmel - Professional Eyebrow Pencil
rated 4 of 5
smjaber 1/22/2010 11:24:00 AM

this is not a bad pencil, it does a good job and gives a natural colour match once blended with the brush. It did make my eyebrows fall out though so I will not repurchase

dior skinflash radiance booster pen is so much better than this. the touch eclat is too thick and heavy and doesn't blend with makeup. will not buy again

Concealers -Christian Dior - Skinflash Radiance Booster Pen-002 Candlelight
rated 4 of 5
smjaber 1/22/2010 11:14:00 AM

I bought this as my skin needed a bit of a boost and I wanted to brighten up beneath my eyes. I've previously used YSL touch eclat which I've never liked, it's too thick. I thought this one might be the same but I was pleasantly surprised, it's much lighter and the colour matched my skin really well. I've bought this twice now and will carry on buying but unfortunatly it runs out really quickly

Moisturizers -Unlisted Brand - Argan oil
rated 5 of 5
smjaber 1/21/2010 2:41:00 PM

I soak my face in argan oil once a week as part of my beauty routine. It's great for hydrating the skin. It's a light easily absorbed oil too and not too greasy. I'll carry on using it.

Blush -Clinique - Blushwear Cream Stick - Rosy Blush
rated 5 of 5
smjaber 1/21/2010 2:34:00 PM

This is a great blusher. It's very easy to apply, a lot easier than powder blushes. It's a great natural colour match for me and blends in well on top of makeup. I really love this and will definatly buy again

I like this cream, it has a pleasant texture and moisturizes the skin without leaving it greasy in the morning. It's not expensive either. I will carry on buying this cream
