I have this in Blonde
It's a bit lighter than my other brow products (I have mid brown brows) but I like that it comes with a spoolie and it's in a thin windup pencil format. I bought this as a bundle deal at my local pharmacy at Christmas last year. I use this when I go away for the weekend or on holiday, for easy natural looking brows
The only downside is the shade range- there's only a dark brown (which verges on black) and blonde.

I bought these on sale at Postie, and have the shades Honey, Smitten and Romantic
Honey is a great everyday pink, smitten is a dark pink and romantic is an orange toned red
These come in a wind up pencil, and have a lip balm consistency. They have quite a strong minty scent and I get a tingle if I use it on chapped lips
The darker shades leave the lips tinted which is nice if you don't want to reapply during the day
I have found the tubes quite bulky for the amount of product you get, compared to a standard lipstick
I will (and have already) repurchase

I picked this up as a travel size makeup primer
It's hailed as a dupe for MAC strobe cream, which isn't widely available in NZ and also expensive
I found this primer at Countdown, on sale 20% off
It comes in a narrow pump tube, has a lotion consistency and a soft pink peach shimmer.
I used this on the high points of my face before applying foundation. I can't say it's as moisturising as MAC strobe, nor did it improve the application of my foundation, but it does give a lovely glow to the skin. It also looks good as a highlighter on top of BB cream for 'no makeup' days

I have the shade 077 Asia, which is a great MLBB pink nude
I like the smell of Rimmel lipsticks, and these have a distinct fruity smell
It lasts reasonably well, has a satin finish, and leaves the lips feeling soft but not sticky or coated
I am halfway through the bullet which says a lot- I rarely finish a lipstick before getting sick of the colour or discarding with expiration.
Rimmel lipsticks are a great price and the formulation of this range is comparable to some of my luxury branded ones
The shade Asia is a near dupe for MAC Twig, which I find much more drying

I bought this after reading reviews on nude lipsticks
I have tried other L'Oréal lip products but none of their lipsticks. I have the shade 235 nude, which is a lovely subtle nude pink. The packaging is luxe as far as drugstore products go.
The formula is buttery and smooth, more like a lip balm than a lipsticks, and gives a sheer wash of MLBB colour.
I'm a little disappointed in the longevity- it didn't even last through a coffee, let alone a meal.
Another disappointing point is the powdery old-lady-lipstick floral smell! It's very strong when you apply it, but fades after a while.

I bought this to try out as my usual facial moisturiser was out of stock at the local supermarket.
The tint is very subtle- nowhere near as much coverage as a BB cream, so don't rely on this alone for an all in 1 face product.
It applies smoothly and sinks into the skin well, and works ok under makeup. I have combination skin, and if I wear this under foundation, I have to touch up or blot my T zone after 4-5 hours.
It comes in a 75g tube which will last me ages! Definitely one of the more affordable brands around

I chose the colour Monte Carlo, a bright blue toned red. It applies like a gloss then dries down to a matte almost paint like lip colour. I can't wear this when my lips are chapped, and need to use a mirror to reapply to avoid an irregular lip outline Having said that, I do like this shade to wear as an evening red lip paired with a winged liner for a date night or party look

I first bought painterly to use as an eyeshadow base. It's lasted years (gross I know) but hasn't dried out or changed texture, applies like a dream (I usually use a finger) and makes shadows last much longer than to bare skin. I now own groundwork too, which is a great neutral to wear on the lid alone, or as a bronze eye look base. I have camel coat, which is a taupe grey shade, which I don't use quite as often. I much prefer these to other cream eye products like the maybelline eye tattoos - the price is worth it for the quality and amount of product.

I built a palette of neutrals from a pro store in the USA- their pans are $6 which is crazy compared to MAC prices in NZ. I own brule, rice paper, omega, mulch, satin taupe, all that glitters, wedge, woodwinked, texture and carbon. I love the variety of shades and textures, most of the shades are easy to blend. I will definitely buy more!

I first owned Mocha several years ago, and my collection has grown to include Melba, Blushbaby, Desert Rose, Pinch o Peach and Sincere. I depotted them into a MAC pro palette a couple of months ago, and have been using them even more now they are lined up together. I like the shade range and the colours are very easy to apply, buildable on the cheek, with good staying power. Not the cheapest blushes on the market- buy them from the USA online, or pick them up from a pro store to save money
