This is truly my HG cleanser. I have been using this for years. I do use a foaming cleanser after this since I have oily combination skin. This has no preservatives nor mineral oil and is so gentle yet gets rid of makeup and sunblock easily. Unlike some other cleansing oils, this doesn't cause breakouts and is relatively cheaper than some other brands.

Initial spray was lovely, clean and fresh and everything I was looking for. Then it settled into a very strong pure soap smell. I guess it is a clean scent because I smelled like a bar of cheap soap. No good. I am so disappointed because I really wanted it to work on me.
Packaging is ok, butterfingered me prefers flip-tops. I got a sample of this and liked how my skin felt after I washed off the foam ie smooth and soft. I guess I'm suckered by their claim that it deep-cleanses into the pores blah blah blah but it seems to be quite gentle on my combination skin. I used La Prarie and La Mer foaming cleansers before but so far this is my favourite among the 3 …Read more
This is the only highlighter I'd use now. It also makes a great base eyeshadow when I'm travelling. It's great on my pale skin but I bet it will look gorgeous on tanned skin as well. It gives an ehthereal sheen rather than chalkier, frostier counterparts such as BB's Shimmerbricks which I've been faithfully using as highlighters till I found Albatross. Since I can't …Read more
I love this classic perfume even more in the EDT than in the EDP or parfum. However so many people use this, I've read that it is one of the best selling fragrances, I decided to use something more obscure instead.
I have MAC pink swoon but I just do not like it.
Right now I'm an NC15 neutral-tone and I wanted a nice cool-ish pretty pink blush that doesn't make me look too dolly. I just rediscovered Dandelion. It's pretty, not exactly worth the hype but it's alright. I love the brush when it comes to traveling, most brushes that come with blushes are usually too stiff and …Read more
I have very fine and thin hair. Although this is very moisturising, I find it too heavy. It'd be great for people who have thick hair though. The smell is delish at first but it started to sicken me after a bit.
I prefer Chanel's biphase eye makeup remover but this works almost as well and is much cheaper. However I think I'll go back to Chanel, I find that I don't lose as many lashes when I was using that.
I gave it a 5 for packaging or lack thereof because that's one less plastic bottle for the environment. I like this on the hair ends and since it is a solid bar, it is easier to control the amount rather than gels or creams, so my hair stays light and fluffy instead of greasy and heavy and limp.
I was looking for a neutral eyeshadow palette for daily use and have bought lots yet most of them, including AAE, are just too warm. If you are looking for a neutral cool set of eyeshadows, this may be it. If you like really made-up looks, then pass on this.
