Lipstick -Boots - 17 Pure Colour (all shades)
suzeuk 10/6/2006 2:48:00 PM
Like Dibble below I have this in Russet Rose. Funnily enough I used to look at the colour and wonder aobut it. I found it in a bargain bin at my local small Boots along with Coral something or other (forgotton what it is called!). I love this. NOt a bright pink but as the name would suggest - a kind of warm pink. Lovely.

Eye Shadow -Urban Decay - Midnight Cowboy Rides Again
suzeuk 10/6/2006 2:43:00 PM
I love the colour but as one ages (sob!) it is betst not to put this colour on your eye lid but maybe as a brow lighter. When I have looked back at photos of me wearing it it is not as nice on the lid - although I have few lines around my eyes it tends to make them stand out - not quite the look I wanted!!Goes lovely with other colours though. Despite that I prob would buy again!

Sooo Pretty! A beautiful lavender with sparklies! I got it in the skull set with Cherry, Midnight cowboy rides again, vert, oil slick, shattered, blunt, choper and twice baked - I find them all very wearable. Although I may have to stop wearing Midnight cowboy as that is very sparkly and I am no spring chicken!

Powder -BeneFit Cosmetics - Get Even #1
suzeuk 10/6/2006 2:36:00 PM
I had read a few reviews about this before deciding to get it. I t did seem to cover up some redness and does do a good blot BUT when my nose got really oily and my face got sweaty - I forgot to wuipe my face first and now the powder has caked. Darn it. My fault. I do have to watch that I don't over do it or it does go chalky. Might buy again or may look for something else - especially if i find soemthing cheaper.

Moisturizers -Clarins - Hydration-Plus Moisture Lotion S.P.F 15

I do like this although it does tend to leave a bit of a greasy film but I love the pump action and it is good on my dry cheeks. I especially like it in summer.

Liquid -Maybelline - Instant Age Rewind foundation
suzeuk 10/6/2006 2:16:00 PM
I added another note after I reviewed this and my 1st review disappeared! Briefly - I love it. I usually weat EL maximum cover. This goes on better and is more liquid. Comes in a tube in UK. I got it in nude. Good colour choice for me it covers up the redness.I have combo skin and am age 46. It does not make the lines on my skin (lines around eyes only so far!) any worse so I am glad of that. Yes I would buy again and will probably do so as it is so cheap - even in UK!

Lipstick -Chanel - Infrarouge Lipstick in Velvet
suzeuk 5/13/2006 12:03:00 PM
I love this colour! It is a pretty pinky red. The only problem I have is it is not long lasting. I have to reaply about twice a day.It wears off and can go 'bitty'. However I like it so much that unless I get a longer lasting lipstick in the same colour from elsewhere I shall be happy to buy it again.

Fragrances -Clarins - Eau Dynamisante
suzeuk 5/4/2006 2:01:00 PM
I keep coming back to this especially when it hots up outside as it has been doing. In the summer I love citrusy fresh smells and this is just right. An old favourite that I wear again and again.

Cleansers -Olay - Daily Facials
suzeuk 5/4/2006 1:58:00 PM
I was a bit suspicious of all these wet tissue type cleansers thinking they would be too drying and not removed make up properly but hey! these are great! I have them in dry (it might be normal/Dry) cannot remember. Less drying than the normal/oily ones I tried(Duh! - well I have combi skin but getting older so thought I would try the normal to dry ones). I love that it removes all my mascara - even the ones that refuge to budge (though they smudge like bu**ery. My face feels clean, fresh and soft after using them. Now the weather seems to be getting warmer I will definatley use them more as I hate my face getting oily/sweaty etc. Very impressed!

Brows -Rimmel - Professional Eyebrow Pencil
suzeuk 5/4/2006 1:53:00 PM
I am very happy with this. I buy the dark brown one. It is so cheap and I buy loads of it - It sounds weird to say it is a holy Grail product as I haven't tried that many eyebrow pencils but I do like it. Has a little brush at the end to groom unruly brows with. What more can one say about it?

Eye Makeup Remover -Clinique - Rinse-Off Eye Makeup Solvent
suzeuk 5/4/2006 1:50:00 PM
OUCH! Who would use this stuff if it burns/stings your eyes? I kept having to remind myself it wasn't nail varnish remover! Thought I had got hold of the wrong bottle. It removed stuff ok but I used an Olay tissue to get rid of the rest of my waterproof mascara and it did a better job and more gently too! It was a freebie but anyway will definately not buy it.

Mascara -Clinique - Gentle waterproof mascara
suzeuk 3/15/2006 12:38:00 PM
Not impressed. My tube seemed to have dried up. It does nothing for my lashes. My eyes tend to be a bit watery at the moment - especially early morning so I suppose the best I can say is it did not wash off until I wanted it to. I don't know why it was so dry so cannot really comment much on the product but I did not like the way it made my lashes 'uncurl' even after curling them.

Crème -Boots - No.7 Intelligent Colour Foundation
suzeuk 3/15/2006 11:12:00 AM
Well I am surprised! Got this in medium (as part of a freebie) and as one of the reviews said it is a scarey shade. Nearly did not bother! However it was very natural. Well it is unusual it practically slips on. The only problem is it is not very covering (I would have given it 5 stars), but I bung some cover up on the broken veins and am pleased with the result. I was trying to describe the texture - it goes kind of watery then velvety - probably not a good description but it is cetainly not thick and creamy anyway. I would probably buy it again - especially in summer when my skin seems to be at it's best anyway.
