Blush -BeneFit Cosmetics - Fine One One
taniaboox 4/18/2013 2:51:00 PM
For what this is, this is way too expensive. If you swivel the product down the quantity is no more than an inch deep. In fact swiping a coral pearl finish lipstick on your cheek would give a similar effect. Not only this but Fine One One broke me out after a few hours and little pimples appeared on the side of my cheeks, that was very strange.

Concealers -BeneFit Cosmetics - Fakeup
taniaboox 4/18/2013 2:32:00 PM
I have tried this on twice and it doesn't blend in evenly and looks powdery and patchy on the skin. This is unfortunate because the idea of it has the potential to be amazing but unfortunately it is not.

Fragrances -Amouage - Epic edp
taniaboox 5/28/2011 12:19:00 AM
Wearing this perfume makes one feel epic, like a heroine in a film. So memorable, deep, luxurious. Expensive but so worth. The best oud composition I've encountered. It's a floral with deep oud notes. I wear it more in the cooler months of the year.

Fragrances -By Kilian - Love
taniaboox 5/28/2011 12:09:00 AM
This is a uniquely beautiful and sensuous perfume. Anyone who thinks it smells like bubblegum needs to have their nose examined. It is sweet and complex which lends it a mysterious quality. Kilian perfumes use premium ingredients hence no allergic reactions for me, unlike cheap perfume. It is a 3 dimensional fragrance which lasts for hours in my skin. If the price seems high there is a travel box set with an unusual black flask.

Eyeliner -Barry M - Pencil Eyeliner/ Kohl
taniaboox 5/23/2010 2:29:00 PM
I love the colour, a good softer alternative to black It's easy to blend and goes on easily with good pigmentation However, I'm very disappointed that it smudges and goes everywhere, after an hour of wearing you have panda eyes without intending too... YUCK!!! Now I'm looking for something else that stays on Although it's cheap it's a waste of money which I've found with many Barry M products

Lips -Korres - plum lip butter
taniaboox 4/5/2009 8:50:00 AM
As a lip treatment it wasn't bad but the problem is that this product floats between being a colour product and a treatment product and it doesn't do either particularly well. The colour barely shows, so you have to put a lot on, patting it on thickly. The treatment side of things was ok but because it's not terribly long lasting it didn't help my lips much, keeps coming off quickly this balm. I wasn't crazy about this colour as didn't find it made me look any better. What i dislike most is that you have to keep putting your fingers in the product so it's unhygenic to use.

Liquid -Organic Glam - Luminous Antioxidant Foundation
taniaboox 4/4/2009 6:18:00 PM
This is a natural organic product which is one of the good things about it. However, there are a few things I don't like about it. I found it hard to match my skin tone. I found that the tint and the oil in the product separate. It is quite creamy and so I didn't find it easy to blend into areas such as between the nose. I thought the smell of it is too strong, smells of ylang ylang and jasmine. I think some people would like because it is organic, but I've found other foundations that are much better because I don't think that it is an amazing foundation - it does not make me glow or enhance me in anyway. It is expensive so I'm expecting an organic foundation that works as good as a top notch product which this isn't.

Foundations -Pixi - Flawless Vitamin Veil
taniaboox 4/4/2009 6:11:00 PM
I bought this recently and have been using it every day since as I just LOVE this. It comes in a pretty pale green little box that is light enough to carry around in your handbag. When you open it there is a handy mirror and a drawer beneath with a sponge so it feels modern but pretty and slightly vintagy. The foundation itself does not feel like a typical foundation at all. It is quite magical. It creates a veil of colour that covers imperfections, even dark circles YET it feels as if you have nothing on. I don't know how this is possible! It blends into my skin tone easily (even though there are only 3 colours in the range). I have the medium. I look as if my skin is a better version of my own. I barely need to put any on as it does the trick really quickly. It's easy to apply as it spreads very smoothly. I have dry skin yet it doesn't dry my skin out or make it look dry and flaky. It doesn't sit in lines either, infact I can see less lines and my skin looks flawless and very smooth and young. Don't ask me how this works but it is really beautiful and at the same time feels as if i have nothing on, improves my skin quality and protects it, and at the same time does not irritate my sensitive skin. WOW!

Lipstick -Maybelline - Moisture Extreme
taniaboox 4/4/2009 6:04:00 PM
I had heard this lipstick was amazing but I am instead feeling disappointed about this lipstick. First, it says that it is moisturising, but i don't find this to be true. It goes on smoothly but doesn't feel moist on my lips at all and when it comes off my lips felt dry again so I don't think it helped moisturise at all. The colours are quite nice, a good range of plums, nudes, pinks and reds. The packaging is so so in a plastic red tube. Everyone has been raving about the watermelon smell - don't ask me why I can't smell any watermelon - I just smell this strange sweet plasticine scent which I don't particularly like. Still for the price I'm thinking it's not bad stuff to brighten up your day in the short term but not something I'd want to buy again. ie. I was happier with the price than the product itself.

Mascara -Becca - Ultimate Mascara
taniaboox 4/4/2009 5:59:00 PM
This is the best mascara I've ever used. It is so easy to apply, the brush grips your lashes - no matter what length your lashes are - and the colour glides on smoothly and evenly. I have it in black and the black is intense so you don't need to apply it over and over again. It also has a slight sheen so your lashes look more noticeable and fuller and longer. This is great, it doesn't seem to clump. I have bought this mascara 3 times running since it came out and will probably continue to do so.

Mascara -Rimmel - Sexy Curves
taniaboox 4/4/2009 5:51:00 PM
This is a mascara is nothing but a gimmick. What is the point of the squiggly shaped brush? Absolutely nothing. I didn't find it created any curves which it said it would do on the bottle. It didn't thicken, it didn't even grip on to my eyelashes so the product could barely go on. The intense black i bought wasn't particularly intense. Barely anything came out of the tube and the quality of the fluid is so thin that you need to apply it about 5 x by which time it starts to go clumpy around the 3rd time. So it's about the most time consuming mascara i've ever bought. I liked the dark purple bottle. But I hate this product because it doesn't work.
