This wasn't my favourite Garnier tissue mask that I was sent to try. The packaging of the mask is appealing like all the packaging for other Garnier sheet masks. As other reviewers have stated, the fit of this mask was a bit strange and it didn't fit perfectly on my face. When I removed the mask from the packaging, I was hit with a heavy chemical floral fragrance. I like fragrance-free skincare as I'm picky about scents so straight off the bat, this wasn't my favourite sheet mask just because of its scent. I kept the mask on for around 20 minutes and patted in the excess serum on my face so it could absorb and also slathered some of the remaining serum on my neck. I don't really feel like it made my skin glow but it did make me feel more hydrated and my skin felt softer.

I was fortunate enough to be chosen to participate in the trial team - thank you, BH and L'Oreal for the opportunity to review this product. The Sugar Scrubs Glow Scrub is nicely packaged - it looks luxurious! I really liked the fact L'Oreal packaged it in a glass jar and the weightiness of the container makes it feel like a more expensive product. The product claims that it will brighten your skin, make it more radiant and make it smoother. The scrub is lightly fragranced and the 3 sugars are very finely milled together. You don't need to use a lot to exfoliate your face/lips. I found that the scrub wasn't abrasive on my skin, which was great. However, the scrub didn't brighten or boost radiance. This, in my opinion, was just marketing speak since there are no ingredients with brightening properties in the ingredient list. The scrub was, however, excellent at smoothing out my skin and I much prefer it to other facial scrubs/facial exfoliants. My skin felt wonderfully soft and I find the results very comparable to what I achieved with the much more expensive Daily Microfoliant from Dermalogica. This is an affordable facial/lip exfoliator which gets the job done and I recommend this product to others who are on a budget.

I really enjoyed using this foundation. It is a beautiful foundation for those with dry or normal skin and it definitely delivers a luminous glow to your skin! First off, the packaging is stunning. It's compact, sturdy and comes with a mirror and a puff. This was made in Korea, which is unsurprising, given that they patented cushion foundations. The formula is very nice. It leaves a glowy, semi-matte and light to medium finish that looks wonderful. It's buildable and very blendable. I think that the puff helps a lot because it doesn't absorb a lot of foundation. I have this in 01 Natural Ivory, the lightest shade, and I would say it's suited to those with cool tones. This was slightly too light and pink for me. I have light warm olive skin, am around NC15-20 and match L'oreal True Match W1. If your shade is 'Buff' in Revlon's Whipped Creme foundation, then this would be a good match for you It takes around two minutes for me to pat it all over my face. Then I set it with translucent powder. The foundation wears relatively well on my normal/combination skin. It doesn't look too cakey after 4-5 hours but it definitely gives off this absolutely gorgeous glow. The foundation doesn't stay put as it definitely moves on my skin and comes off when I blot my face with a tissue but I think this would happen with any foundation for me. There were only two things I didn't really like. I would have preferred it to come without SPF because SPF40 in foundation/face make up simply isn't sufficient protection for most people unless they applied a lot of it. It's better off for everyone to apply a separate sunscreen under this. If it had been SPF-free, I know it would have been great for flash photography but unfortunately, the SPF renders it a daytime-only foundation. I also didn't like the smell of the foundation - it was very artificial and no doubt it came from the SPF supplied with the foundation. Overall, this is a great daytime foundation. I would especially recommend this for those who are looking for a dewy, light to medium coverage foundation and people with dry to normal skin.

I have this in the shade 'Harmony'. It's a really beautiful warm deep rosy/dusty pink with a tinge of mauve that is a perfect MLBB for my pale lips. For reference, I have cool olive skin, which is about NC18. It has light to medium opacity, and this allows the natural colour of my lips to seep through the lip colour. It is moisturising and lasts four hours on me. Although I love the colour and the formula, I cannot bear the strong scent of this lipstick. If you can bear the scent, you will love this lipstick.

Love this foundation at the moment - it is my current go-to face base. For reference, I have combination skin which leans a bit dehydrated on my cheeks with a relatively oilier T-Zone and forehead. I have some redness and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation to cover up from acne scarring. The shade I have is 150 Buff and this is a bit more neutral than my ~NC20 cool olive skin tone but it's still a decent match regardless. (Note that 150 Buff in Whipped is more neutral and less yellow than 150 Buff in the Colorstay liquid formula). What I adore about this foundation is that it doesn't fade terribly on my skin and it doesn't make me oilier throughout the day. As the day goes on, I find a lot of foundations - regardless of whether they're high-end, mid-range or drugstore - make me oilier. The only exception is Estee Lauder's Double Wear, but I prefer Revlon Colorstay Whipped because it is much cheaper and not as full coverage as the Estee Lauder foundation. This wears very well on my skin and it gives a very pleasant subtle dewy effect 6-7 hours hours after it is first applied. As with all foundations, I set this with a loose powder. This only fades on my nose and the sides of my nose but I'm okay with that. It provides buildable coverage and I only build it up to 2 layers on dark spots, which I find to be sufficient coverage for me. 1 layer provides light-medium coverage. I like to use my clean fingers to apply this. Work fast because it sets relatively quickly.This is a semi-matte finish, and I find foundations with this kind of finish tend to last a lot longer on my skin than those that have a dewy finish, which tend to slide right off and get very oily after 4 hours or so. This foundation has lasted me for 16 hours, where I was going straight from uni to a party immediately afterwards. And even towards the end, it photographed beautifully - no flashback whatsoever. Although I had set the foundation with powder, I was glowing and looking radiant in all photos and my skin looked perfect, even though it actually isn't! This also fills in pores quite well - I've got prominent ones on my cheeks and they are covered well with this foundation. Whilst I like the heavy glass packaging, the caveat is that I have to remove the plastic cover and dip my clean fingers every time I apply. I would prefer this to come in a tube, as it does in a tester. However, that is one small thing I am willing to put up with for this foundation - it is worth it. I highly recommend this foundation to those with combination/oily skin who are looking for a multipurpose light-medium coverage foundation which photographs well.

This is one of Rimmel's better lip products. Unlike the Apocalips, the colour lasts and lasts. I have it in 'Play with Fire', which is a flattering dark brown-red colour on my light olive skin. The formula sets after a minute or two, and topping off with the gloss helps to extend the wear of the colour and make it more comfortable to wear. This wears well for 4-5 hours and for a long-wearing lip product, it is not drying, unlike certain MAC lipsticks (Russian Red and Ruby Woo which make my lips look parched after 3-4 hours). It will last through fairly oily meals and will only slightly fade in the middle. Truly a long-wear lip colour. I honestly am quite impressed by the colour and I love wearing this out when I know it'll be troublesome to touch my lipstick. The packaging could be a little bit more sophisticated as it looks a bit childish, but overall, the product inside is outstanding. I also wish Rimmel would expand the range to include some more natural colours. I wouldn't go as far to call this my HG red, but this is very close to it. Bottom Line: This is a fantastic and affordable lip colour that is long-wearing, budge-proof and doesn't dry out your lips. 5/5.

I immensely enjoyed using this brush. Usually, I don't care much about my hair and I thought cheap brushes and combs did the job well enough. This is the softest brush I've ever used for my hair and the bristles are so gentle. It's great at gently smoothing about any frizz and knots I have from a good night's sleep and it does this efficiently. I would highly recommend this brush, especially if your hair easily gets frizzy and knotted like mine!

This lip lacquer was quite nice. The shade range is very diverse, with 15 colours to choose from, and are appropriate for all skin tones. I liked how vivid and opaque the shades were with just one swipe - pigmentation was truly impressive. The colours were absolutely stunning. My personal favourites were: Fire Opal, Pink Ruby, Strawberry Topaz and Sunstone. But I found some of the shades too overwhelmingly bright for use during the day time, so I ended up blotting the colours down. I feel that overall, most of the shades would be appropriate for a night out. I understand that Revlon was trying to live up to the name 'Ultra HD' by imparting the fine micro-shimmer in most of the more natural pink/coral shades, but personally, it's not something I enjoy very much. I really enjoyed the scent of these products. To me, it's a very gourmet food scent - absolutely delicious. I didn't like the applicator though; it was fiddly and troublesome because it wasn't very precise (as evidenced by the fact that I managed to draw outside my natural lip line!). A traditional doe-shaped wand would've been a better choice for a formula with such high colour pay-off. In terms of moisturising, I found that it wasn't Revlon's most moisturising lip line (that award goes to Revlon's Moisture Stain, my all-time favourite lip formula so far). I wore lip balm underneath this and my lips started feeling dry after 4-5 hours. It isn't particularly sticky and neither is it very heavy on your lips. The lip lacquers aren't the most long-lasting lip products on the market and I found that they faded away fairly evenly after light meals. Again, on that note, although the colour had faded away, the micro-shimmer in certain shades remained. Overall, this is a nice range from Revlon. I recommend this range to those who love high-impact colour in their lip products and non-sticky glosses!

I felt like this was a underwhelming product from Revlon. I received this in the shade 120 Vanilla, which was a close match for my light olive skin. For reference, I have some closed comedones on my left cheek and forehead, minor post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and some redness to cover up. I have dehydrated-to-normal skin. Two swipes was enough to cover the redness and three swipes covered most of the pigmentation. Since this is a cream-to-powder foundation, the dry, waxy texture of the foundation means that your skin needs to be well-moisturised. Although I had moisturised and applied a moisturising sunscreen, it was difficult to apply evenly on my skin. When I tried adding more layers, it didn't blend evenly and looked a bit cakey. It's just simply too dry on my skin. I don't recommend it for using to lightly cover under eye circles as it's dry. It doesn't cover active acne completely and neither does it completely cover pigmentation. As the day wore on, the foundation started separating on my cheeks and on the pimple on my forehead. My forehead got a bit oily after 5-6 hours and my cheeks had some shine. I think this is a very expensive option for what it is as there's only 6 g of product. If you have oily skin or good skin with minor redness to cover, this will be a good foundation choice for you. However, this wasn't my cup of tea.

First off, the packaging is very nice. Although the tube is unnecessarily bulky, I like the muted colour of the tube. It looks classy. Secondly, the brush. It was my favourite part of this mascara as the inner curve of the brush was great at coating my lashes from the roots to the tips. One coat is too subtle, so I like to go in 3-4 coats. It doesn't clump my lashes too badly but it leaves the most beautiful fanned-out lashes. This isn't a waterproof formula (it's washable) so it doesn't hold a curl - my eyelashes droop immediately when I apply this after curling with an eyelash curler. However, I find that if I don't curl my lashes, it fans out my lashes and slightly curls them upwards. This was fantastic for lengthening and alright for volume. Overall, this is not a bad mascara. This mascara is closer to 3.5/5 than 3/5 stars - one star off because it can't hold a curl, another star off because it smudges beneath my lower lash line in a very obvious fashion after 5-6 hours (I have monolids) and half a star off for the price - it's a bit expensive for a drugstore mascara.
