Hot Coral is a gorgeous summer colour, just enough orange in the red to make it really flashy and pop. It only takes ONE COAT for effectiveness which is amazing. A good basecoat and topcoat could make this polish last for awhile.
Even with my cheap cheap cheap topcoat, it stays chip-free for about 4 days (I'm rough on my nails, so this is GOOD for me!) and I really enjoy the SMALL brush as I find most wide nail brushes are too big for my tiny fingers.

I received this eyeliner as a Christmas gift, which was an amazing present from a friend who knows how much I appreciate quality products but don't always have the money to spend on it. Unfortunately, I wasn't as keen on this eyeliner for the price. I enjoyed using it, I found the colour was consistent but not the thickest formula, it's a bit watery which makes it easier to smudge BUT also easier to correct immediately. Once set it would last for quite awhile however. The flexible tip is nice but unless you're really doing fancy eyework, it's not necessary.
I enjoyed the product but it literally needs to be half the price for me to purchase it again. I'd rather go back to Annabelle.

I bought this eyeshadow on a whim while stocking up on more Body Shop essentials and it was a real surprise and a half! I love the colour, its a soft pink that compliments my skin tone rather well and upon first glance looks like I'm barely wearing anything on my lids.
The quality is quite good for a lower-end price point, it may not always last all day but since the point of the colour is for a softer look on the lid, it's fine. I would absolutely try this in a darker colour too.

I'm a big fan of Annabelle, for a lower end eye liner brands I've never had a bad experience. They offer nice solid colours that are easy to swipe across the eyelid and are mostly smudgeproof, while not WATERPROOF. I find that it stays on the eyelid most of the day, barring summer weather.
The olive colour is awesome, it's a green that isn't clownish and a dark liner that has just that bit of pizazz to it. Love it.

I bought this mascara for 2 reasons, one, I don't have a favourite or even semi-favourite mascara so I'm on a constant hunt for a cheap fix, and two, it was on sale.
The reviews I'd read were mostly favourable so I gave it a shot, it was fine for the first few weeks but the brush soon became overly gunked no matter if I wiped it off for every application. I feel like the formula is way too thick for the brush. I keep meaning to throw it away but I need another cheap replacement. Not recommended.
