I needed an eyeshadow primer really badly because my eyeshadows alwaaays crease, after watching all my favourite guru's videos I decided to get this one. I do not regret buying this at all! ITS GREAT. Does everything an eyeshadow primer should do! Im on my 3rd one of these:) PROS + Makes my eyeshadow stay on all day without creasing + It has a nice beige colour + Smooths skin amazingly + Lasts me a long time + The new packaging (without the wand) is much better! + Works great as concealer/corrector primer also CONS - It is quite expensive for an eyeshadow primer but defo worth the money

This is my HG highlighter! It is AMAZING! A friend of mine recommended it to me so I bought it straight away, I use this every single day under my eyebrows and under my eyes sometimes on my nose. And it gives an amazing finish! I LOVEEEE LOVE THIS. If you were thinking of buying this. Do it! PROS + AMAZING colour for highlighter + A lot of product + Will last forever + Smells Nice CONS - No mirror in the compact :'(

Primer/ Corrector -Urban Decay - De-Slick Oil Control Makeup Setting Spray
rated 5 of 5
xKamilax 1/2/2013 2:50:00 PM

I really like this Setting Spray, its the first one I have ever used and Im impressed so far :), I spray it after my foundation and again after I finished all my make-up. This spray definitely takes the 'Powdery' look away which I always tend to have because I have oily skin so I do anything possible to matt my face but it still leaves my skin looking matt. It doesn't make my make-up last a huge amount longer than it normally does (maybe about 3-4 hours) PROS + Gets rid of powdery look while still matting the face + Makes makeup last longer (3-4hrs) + Can be used as a primer which I dont do but I will definitely try + Nice packaging + Can be used during the day to make the makeup look like you just did it CONS - Quite pricey

Concealers -Bobbi Brown - Corrector

I do have mixed feelings about this product.. At first it looks amazing. But after a few minutes it kind of creases? I have this in the shade 'Light Peach' and I set it either with my 'Mac Mineralize Skinfinish Natural' or my 'Ben Nye Banana powder' Using a powder puff.. I tried using other powders but it just didn't work.. :/ The coverage isnt as good as I thought it would be :( Doesnt cover up my dark circles as good as some of my drugstore concealers.. Maybe its because I dont use the creamy concealer after.. I dont really know.. I will probably buy the concealer and it how they work together! PROS + Very cute packaging + Quite a lot of shades + Mirror included in the little compact + Okay coverage CONS - Quite expensive - Creases (even if set with powder) - Quite drying

LOVE LOVE LOVE. This powder is amazing... I know people dont like reading long stories about products so I will get into the pros and cons straight away! PROS + Looks amazing on photos + Dont need a lot to cover the whole face + It doesn't break me out + It doesnt look powdery + Will last forever + My face isn't shiny after using it CONS - The packaging... Thats the only thing.. When you open it it goes everywhere! I recommend getting a loose powder container or using one that you already might own.. Like a Bare Minerals one! Its great!

Foundations -Maybelline - Dream Matte Mousse
rated 2 of 5
xKamilax 12/14/2012 6:45:00 PM

This was my first ever foundation, my mum bought it for me when I turned 13 because I started breaking out really badly... At first I thought it was amazing! Once I started running out I went to the shop and bought a new one straight away! I didnt realise how bad I looked! The foundation matched my skin but it looked really really light in the sunlight! Also on photos I looked like a ghost even though my friends are pretty pale too! + Good packaging + The little jar/container lasts a pretty long time - Very dry, showed up my dry blemishes - Looks bad on photos and in daylight - Light/Medium Coverage - Lasts <6hours! - Made me break out I wouldnt recommend this to people with dry skin! I have oily and it looked really dry!

BB Cream -L'Oreal - Nude Magique BB Cream

xKamilax 12/10/2012 3:36:00 PM

Im not a fan of BB creams because I like the flawless look, but this is definitely the best BB cream I have come across! It didnt give coverage but it gave my skin a nice even colour.. The sad news is.. Its too dark! I still sometimes use it. + Doesn't make me oily + Gives a nice colour + Quite cheap + Good for a drugstore BB cream! + Didn't make me break out - No coverage - Showed my blemishes:( - Bad range of colours just like most BB creams.. WAY TOO DARK - The packaging. When Im applying it and I leave it open on my vanity so I can get more it goes everyyywhere! :(

BB Cream -Maybelline - Dream Fresh 8-in-1 BB Cream
rated 2 of 5
xKamilax 12/10/2012 3:30:00 PM

I bought this because I wanted to try one of these 'magic' BB creams. After reading the reviews I decided to buy this one.. Wasn't a good idea! Made me break out like crazy! My face looked really shiny and it made my blemishes show up even more! Also the colour range is really bad! Even the lightest one was too dark for my pale skin :( NOT MAGIC AT ALL But then again I gave it to my auntie (who is 25 blonde NC30/NC35 with normal skin) and she loved it! - Colour range , Very dark colours! - Made me break out - Showed up my blemishes even more - My face looked skiny even after applying powder over + Its cheap + The packaging is quite handy and light

Powder -Bare Escentuals - Original SPF 15 Foundation
rated 4 of 5
xKamilax 12/10/2012 3:24:00 PM

I'm on my 5th jar of this powder. Its simply amazing! I recently discovered better powders (Ben Nye - Banana Powder , Benefit - Hello Flawless powder) but I've been loving this for ages! + Good Coverage Defo Build-able! + Reflects light, so under eye circles blemishes etc are not visible + The packaging is amazing! It closes unlike some other loose powders! + You get quite a lot of product + Looks better on its own (without liquid foundation under) + Brushes are included in the starter kit! + Stays in place the whole day - You have to put heaps on to get a full coverage - Because it reflects light it can look very shiny/ oily - After a whole day at school I had to make touch ups because it was shiny - Doesn't look good with a foundation underneath - Sometimes makes under eye area look really dry Overall I would repurchase! Im the shade Fairly Light ( MAC NC15)
