The packaging for the Mineralize skin finish is the only negative I really have. The circle shapy and the standard compact size are fine, but it has no mirror in the lid unlike the studio fix powder. The lack of mirror makes touch ups on the go a little bit trickier. Also my powder came unstuck from the base, which while it didn't break i do have to be careful when opening that it doesn't fall out. For me they have been the only drawbacks. The products itself if beautiful, the texture is so soft and smooth. It is great for using just as a setting powder, which when used that way does control the oil i get with my combo skin type for most of the day. I have also used it as a foundation with both a dry buffing brush and a slighly damp one. When used on a dry brush i found it to offer quite good coverage up to a medium, that looked flawless. It did not oxidise on my skin at all. It lasted most of the day, only needing a touch up in the afternoon. When I used the product on a damp brush it offered nearly full coverage, it didn't look cakey and again it lasted well throughout the day. The powder made my skin look beautiful no matter which way i used it, it didn't highlight any fine lines or pores. I would definately reccommend to anyone thinking about purchasing the Mineralize Skin Finish Natural to do it.

I wasn't too impressed with the Schwarzkopf dry shampoo. I found no matter how I used it, my hair looked really dull and dry. I also had trouble getting it to not leave a white cast on my hair. After a lot of brushing I was able to make it work, though for all the trouble I could have just about washed and dried my hair normally. The smell of the dry shampoo is amazing, would nearly use it for the scent alone! I think this would be an ok dry shampoo for people with lighter hair, just didn't work so well for my medium brown hair.

The large box this came in whilst i think was a little wasteful, part of me still felt a little special when it was delivered. The box contained the everything that would come in the standard box you would buy anywhere else.
The color I chose to trial was intense red. I followed the mixing instructions included. The first thing I noticed when applying was there wasn't the horrid smell that usually comes along with coloring your hair. There was also enough to evenly coat my bra strap length hair. I waited the 30 minutes and then rinsed and conditioned with the included conditioner. My hair felt amazing, first time i can remember a permanent color not making my hair feel worse. This system actually made my hair, soft and hydrated.
I am extremely happy with the way my hair turned out, the color is quite a viberant red without being Ronald McDonald. I will definately continue to use Olia when coloring my hair. Will also be recommending it to family and friends.

This night cream is quite rich and thick in texure, i was so worried that it would break me out. To my suprise it didn't cause any bumps, just gave me soft and hydrated skin the following morning. The smell I thought was quite pleasent as with all the pure and natural range.
I used a small amount each day, my skin seemed to not have as many dry fine lines during the day when using this product.
Ay my age it can be hard to find an anti aging product that isn't too heavy and that won't break me out. So i am happy to have been able to trial this night cream.
Will continue to use as, for a budget cream i am very happy with it.

I liked these wipes, whilst I still prefer a proper cleanser with water i found that these done a good job of removing my makeup and mascara.
I used these to precleanse my face before using the cleansing lotion in the same range. Unlike some other wipes i have used i found I didn't need to spend a long time scrubbing away at my face, with just gentle wiping my makeup seemed to come off.
On hot days these were quite refreshing to use on my face, felt like they helped in remving any sweat and grime on the skin.
I will continue to keep these in my handbag for when I need a quick freshen up or for when i need to remove my makeup in a hurry. They didn't irriate my skin and didn't leave a greasy residue.

I am reviewing these again for the glosscars. They have gone up a star for me since my last review, all because of a stye. I hate not being able to wear mascara when i have one. Manicare made that possible! I can use one and wash or bin these after each use. Meaning no contamination to my mascara. The different colors make it incredibly easy to know which one i need, whether it be volume, length, corner lashes, this pack has them all. The packaging is compact, so i can carry them around easily in my bag. Love, love, love them. Will continue to be a staple in my make up bag.

The first thing you will notice about visionnaire is the stunning packaging. The bottle is a beautiful aqua color. It comes with a pump top making for more hygenic application.
The serum inside is white in color, and creamy in texture. I find it has a pleasent fragrance that quickly fades once applied, and the serum itself is rapidly absorbed into the skin.
I applied 1/2 a pea sized amount in the evening over a space of two months. I found it to be quite moisturising on its own, which suprised me. Often i did not need to apply a night cream over the top.
Since using visionnaire, i have noticed wonderful changes in my skin. It's brighter and more even toned, my acne wasn't playing up anywhere near as much, and the fine lines around my eyes seem to have softened.
I am very impressed with visionnaire, even for the price i think it's worth every cent. I will be repurchasing as i feel the long term results will be even better. I cannot recommend enough, for those younger who are looking at prevention and for those wanting to turn back the clock. Everyone could benefit from some Visionnaire in their skin routine!

I loved the idea of a gloss that reacts to the PH level of your lips to give a unquie shade of pink to the user. Rose exclusif comes in a gorgeous silver and pink tube, with a slight hourglass shape.
The gloss itself is easy to use, with the brush applicator making it simple to get a nice even application. It has a slight sweet smell, reminds me of lollies. It goes on clear, but within a minute turns a pink color. For me it is a deep, bright pink, which i love.
It is super glossy and can be a little sticky if too much is used. Once the gloss has worn off, your lips are left with a pretty pink stain. Meaning you don't have to worry about constantly reapplying to maintain some color.
I love this gloss for day or night and will be repurchasing when my current tube runs out.

The packaging for these mascara brushes was nice, compact and small enough to keep in handbag for when needed. I found these brushes very easy to use, the bright colors make it easy to know which brush you are after. I like the idea of them being so hygenic, but found for personal use it wasted too much mascara. Would be great for doing friends make up etc. I liked the fact that with these you are able to get deeper into your mascara tube so would be great for getting the last drops out. I used the same mascara when using all the different brushes. I believe they did achieve what they said they would - Blue = Volume - Red = Curl - Organe = Seperates and lengthens - Purple = Corners of eyes and bottom lashes, although i can't say i noticed a massive difference between each brush. They would last quite a long time as they are easy to wash and reuse. Overall i would recommend trying these brushes. I will repurchase when i run out as they are handy to have on hand. Thanks to BH for letting me trial these manicare mascara brushes!

Don't let the uninteresting bottle fool you, whats inside is incredible! I have always had a tough time when it comes to shaving or waxing. I'd break out in a bad rash everytime. Was too embarrassed to show my legs in public. Not anymore!!!
The serum doesn't have an over poweing smell, it sprays on in a fairly fine mist. My skin is so smooth, ingrown hair free and rash free after using this. I have been using the product for about 6 weeks all over my legs and there is still over 1/2 a bottle left. A couple of sprays go a long way. I just spray it on and then rub it in. Some people may be a little worried about the price, but please try. Really cannot say enough about this serum.
