They weren't lying about this product being "deep clean"-ing huh. Anytime I used this cleanser, my face was literally squeaky clean, that would have been amazing if it didn't completely strip my face of moisture and life; my skin felt tight, dry and looked awfully dull. Not to mention, every single time without fail, I would wake up to a nasty breakout the day after I washed my face with this cleanser. My skin type isn't even prone to breakouts as I only struggled with hyperpigmentation from sun damage. I am currently using and enjoying another Neutrogena cleanser so I know the problem isn't their brand but this specific product just didn't work for me. The remainder was used as brush cleaner so no product went to waste.

This eyeliner comes in both waterproof and washable and I have tested out both; to be honest I don't notice a difference between them as both perform outstandingly! It's one of those affordable products that does not compromise quality at all. After 12 or more hours of wear, this product might smudge a bit at the outer corners of the eyes but I don't have this problem when I just set it with a bit powder in the morning. The pen takes a looong time to dry out and the applicator is reversible (pinch with tweezers and flip sides). The tip and size of pen makes doing winged cat eye liner a dream. Love! Love! Love!

I have the shades Abu Dhabi and Zurich. I really wanted to like this product as it was so hyped back in the matte lip era but it simply doesn't work for me. It's hard to explain the consistency but I'd describe it as a comfortable powdery cream--unlike a liquid lipstick, this stays the same consistency and doesn't dry down. It has a strong scent which I don't personally enjoy but can look past. There is truly no staying power at all... at first I thought it was because I wore it on top of lip balm but after trying it on it's own, the same thing happened. As soon as anything touches the product on your lips, its gone. Not to mention, I am not the hugest fan of their shade range, the nudes are quite light and look chalky on medium-deep skin tones. In order to not waste the products, I use them as cream blushes underneath my powder blushes. I am disappointed it didn't live up to the hype.

To be perfectly honest, I don't think the Garnier eye masks or any other brand of eye mask do very much to reduce dark circles. However, this product does a great job at cooling and hydrating the skin. It feels so relaxing and is far less messy than using a full face sheet mask or wash off masks. The scent isn't overpowering which is nice seeing how most marketed Vitamin-C, citrusy products have that overwhelming orange scent. Although I don't see the long term benefits, this mask is totally worth it when it's on half price as a little treat on a self-care spa day.

I am in the shade Sand 20 and thoroughly enjoy this product. As someone with a yellow undertone its quite difficult shopping for affordable complexion products that aren't too peachy and pink looking but the Maybelline FitMe range is so inclusive and one of the first drugstore brands to expand their shade range! I use the shade Sand to brighten under the eyes and in other areas and think it gets the job done well! The coverage is medium but is definitely buildable. I do have a drier skin type so before applying this concealer I like putting on some eye cream before hand to make the finish smoother.

This is my everyday blush brush that I keep in my makeup bag inside my purse. It's so tiny and cute and Real Techniques never lacks in quality. The bristles feel so heavenly on the skin and apply powder products so smoothly. I love that the handle is metal rather than wooden as it makes it easier to clean the brush. Would be really nice if it came with a cover though to keep it hygienic. I will certainly continue to grow my RT collection as I've only ever been satisfied with their great products!

Bought this lash adhesive after hearing a trusted YouTuber recommend this product, saying it was her holy grail. Initially, I assumed the brush tip and clear finish would make it easier to apply lashes, especially for beginners. This glue is honestly just terrible. It has the strongest chemical fumes and my eyes instantly water the second I open the tube. Not to mention, it will never dry down to the tacky consistency you need... its either wet or completely hardened which makes it so difficult to use. If you attempt to apply the lashes with wet glue, this product will go everywhere and take forever to remove from your natural lashes--if it dries on your eye it cannot be removed in one piece but rather tinylittle crusty pieces. Save yourself the hassle and buy DUO glue.

Despite the beautiful sheer colours of the shades Bouncy Beige and MVPeach, this is one of the most drying products I have ever used, thus ranking very low in my books. When first applied it feels slippery and offers a nice shine to it... approximately thirty seconds later the shine has completely disappeared and my lips are left feeling so much drier than they did initially, before applying. Revlon is one of those more pricey brands at the pharmacy which really added to the disappointment :( If you're looking for a nice drugstore lip oil, keep an eye out for Essence's limited edition lip products.

The NYX butter glosses have been raved about for years and I've owned too many of them throughout that period. The ones I currently have are in the shades Ginger Snap, Madeleine and Tiramisu. I love the sweet, vanillary smell of this gloss, its pigment and the simple packaging. I have been meaning to get my hands on the shade Praline but unfortunately it seems to always be sold out at Pricelines across Sydney :(. A couple drawbacks with this product is its thick, sticky consistency which can feel uncomfortable on the lips and leave white residue on your mouth after a few hours of wear. Also, it is not a particularly shiny gloss and tends to sink into the lines on your lips.

Yikes, I'm not too sure what it is about this specific product that instantly gives me a headache, also in my opinion it does not smell like real nor artificial candyish strawberry but rather just a clean and chemically smell with some faint sweetness. Despite my dislike for this scent, I have tried the vanilla version of the same mist and didn't have the same migraine issue. I suppose it is a hit or miss depending on which scent you choose. In general though, The Body Shop fragrances don't have the greatest lasting power, however their scented body yoghurts are amazing and a ride or die for me!
