I love the kind & free line by Rimmel. I purchased the nude shade for my waterline as well as a purple to add a pop of colour to my eyes. I use the nude shade on my waterline every day, the pencil glides on easily without having to apply to much pressure. The colour payoff is great. I find the nude shade to be much more flattering than the white pencil I use to use before discovering this gem. On the waterline I find it last fairly well, I do have to touch up occasionally as I would with every other line I have tried on my waterline. I also use it on my inner corner and under my brow bone to add a little light and makes the eyes pop.

I have never really been a skincare girl however in the last couple of years have started to try to make more of an effort. I love this serum and have repurchased it several times and have even gifted it as well. The dropped applicator makes it easy to dispense product. I was and tone as normal then apply 2-3 drops of this serum on to damp skin and let it soak up for a couple minutes, then add my moisturiser. Since using the hyaluronic acid serum my skin has improved significantly, as I now find my skin to be less oily and tight feeling. Leaves my skin plump and hydrated. Will definitely continue to repurchase.

I have bad undereye circles and they have started to bother me. I was on the hunt for a new eye cream so when I saw someone on social media talk about it so I thought I would give it a go, and I am glad I did. This eye cream applies to the skin with ease and you only need a little amount to be effective. It does a good job of moisturising without feeling heavy or greasy. The eye cream brightens my undereyes and seems to make the dark circles look much less severe. I noticed when applying it has a nice shimmer to it, not glitter but almost like a pearl like sheen. It contains vitamin C, coffee and carrot oil. I have used it for several months (and repurchased it for me and as a gift) and I do feel that it has helped my dark under eyes to look less dull and dark. I really do enjoy using this eye cream on a daily basis and will continue to repurchase.

While I have thick eyebrows, I have a section that is a little sparce and needs to be filled in otherwise it looks a little strange. I have one of the darkest shades which blends in with my dark almost leaning towards black brows. The pencil is a windup rather than one you have to sharpen. The texture of the pencil is creamy (but doesn't bleed) and makes applying a breeze. I use short feather like strokes to apply to give a natural well-groomed look. I have tried more expensive brow pencils that have left me disappointed as they have been too hard or not creamy enough. One I apply the pencil I use a spoolie or a brow gel to brush my brows to finish the look. If in a pinch I have used the brow pencil as an eyeliner and lip liner.

I have used the same eye shadow primer for years and only recently decided to give another one a go. The first thing I noticed is unlike my other primer this one doesn’t have a colour/tint. It comes in a squeeze tube which is probably more hygienic than my one with a doe foot applicator. The texture is very silky and almost slightly oily, which could be due to containing shea butter. The first time I applied way too much product because a little amount goes a long, long way. I also needed to set it with a powder as I felt like it was a little too wet. It does provide a very good base for my eyeshadow and makes the colours put on top more pigmented and vibrant. I find that I need a base for my eyeshadows otherwise they crease and disappear by the end of the day. While I have oily lids my eye makeup did stay put all day. I did enjoy using this primer however I still prefer my original essence “I Love Base” primer.

I never knew how hard it was to find a good lip liner, in a natural shade for an affordable price. I recently ran out of my favourite windable lipliner (also essence but must be discontinued) and bought several until I found one of these I had in my stash. The lip liner applies with ease and doesn’t tug or pull and the colour goes on smoothly and evenly. If you need a sharper line, the pencil can be easily sharpened. I do find that if I moisturise my lips first the colour lasts better throughout the day. These liners do not bleed or crease and worn under lipstick extend their wear. Sometimes for a more natural look I apply my lipliner and extend it onto my lips then add a lip oil over top. I have tried may other lip liners and have struggled to find one that I would repurchase but have repurchased several shades of these several times. For the price I think these are really hard to beat.

I used to use the essence hello goods stuff serum that contained pineapple extract for several months and was my go-to as I loved the way it made my skin feel. I think it now must be discontinued as I cannot find it anywhere anymore. I found this as a replacement, which I do enjoy using even though the pineapple one is still my number one. The formula consists of 95% natural ingredients and contains no mineral oils, parabens or microplastics. It contains pomegranate and 3% niacinamide. The product is in a nice glass bottle with an easy use pipette making getting the right amount of product easy. The serum has a pleasant fruity scent, and the thin texture makes it easy to apply to the skin and is quickly absorbed. It can be used alone on the skin or in conjunction with a mosituriser which I tend to do. I feel that it has improved the texture of my skin and makes it feel more hydrated.

I love a good lip oil and always favour over a lip gloss as I find them lighter and less sticky on the lips. This lip oil contains vitamin e and cranberry oil to help hydrate and nourish the lips. There is a slight hint of colour and a shimmer which is nice as it adds a nice healthy look to the lips. The formula is thin and applies to the lip with ease without feeling heavy or sticky. It has a smaller doe foot application compared to a lot of other lip oils on the market but do find it applies easily onto the lips. You get a good amount of product for the cost, and I feel the product could easily compete on the same level if not better than those that cost 10x the amount of money. I bought a couple of backups just in case.

I need brow gel for my bushy brows. I have used several different brands, but this is one was a miss for me. I didn't want to waste my money, so I was able to find a different use for it. The brush applicator is more like a mascara wand rather than a small precise tip like a lot of other brow gel brands. I feel that the applicator is not suitable for the brows as it is too big and applies too much product to my skin rather than my brows. The brow gel that has a very thin consistency and stays sticky to the touch rather than dry down. I didn’t want to waste the product so instead I tried it to tame my flyaways and does a really good job. I do find I have to use a tissue to clean off the wand before using as a little product goes a long way (using too much can look greasy). It’s affordable too, unlike other specific for hair products that can be expensive this is under $10.

My skin can sometimes be very sensitive, and this thermal water is a life saver when it flares. The water contains minerals such as selenium. I use this as a toner to hydrate my skin and even to refresh my makeup during the day. Unlike traditional toners this doesn't sting or dry out my skin. My skin used to feel very tight but since using the thermal water it feels much more hydrated. I have used this for the last year or so and will continue to as I feel that it is worth the money. Great on a hot day also.
