Please do not use the brush that comes with this product, it will irritate your skin and make it itch for the entire day, at least it did for me. Without the brush, this is a good product, it gives decent coverage and stays on all day. For super dry skin, I would not recommend this, as it is quite drying and will make your dry areas stand out more, for oily skin this could be really good and comparable to higher end mineral makeup. I have dry skin and can use this in the summer, as long as a moisturize well beforehand, and use a primer. I use the colour, Light Ivory and it matches me well, and I apply it with my ecotools bronzer brush, it is a touch too big to fit in the shifter area, but I make do with it since like I said, the brush that comes with this is absolute garbage.

This is in my opinion the best drugstore powder that you can get. The colour range is pretty good, so you can get whatever skintone you have: cool, warm or neutral. It has a silky, smooth feel. I use this primarily as a setting powder over the true match liquid foundation. It can oxidize throughout the day so that is my only one con of this product, so perhaps trying a shade lighter would be a good idea if oxidizing is a problem for you. I use W2, light ivory, the same colour as the one that I use in the liquid version.

This foundation is the closest drugstore colour match that I can get. I use W2, light ivory. I like this foundation a lot, as it blends well, coverage is decent and it has SPF which I appreciate. It is pricier than other drugstore foundation, but you get what you pay for. I also like that it has such a massive colour range, ranging from cool, warm and neutral shades, so if you have trouble finding your colour, this will definitely be a good choice for you as there is are so many shades. I use this in conjunction with the true match powder foundation as a setting powder and I get a really nice result.

This did nothing besides providing a nice cooling, refreshing temporary feeling when applied. It did not decrease the appearance of bags or undereye circles. Also, despite the roller ball being really cool, the product itself has to be stored standing up or else the stuff oozes out, it is not travel-friendly at all. I felt for this gimmick and bought this product when it first came out a year ago or so and it's been sitting amongst my makeup brushes since, mocking me. Do not buy this, it does nothing at all. -

This brush is good for travel, but it kind of disappointed me when I got it because the craftsmanship is not as good as the other brushes and the bristles are weird. Also, the cap does not slide on easily and the hairs get stuck all weird. Don't get me wrong, I love ecotools and wanted this brush forever, but I don't reach for it often, just keep it in my purse for touch-ups. I much prefer the bronzer brush from ecotools. -

I bought this when it first came out years ago and didn't like it, at the time I was looking for something with better coverage and I found light-medium, which being NC15 was too dark for me and made me very orange. Recently, I repurchased this in the colour, Light, and it's a much better fit for me and I appreciate this product now. For the summer, I prefer to wear light makeup, nothing cakey or thick, so the coverage does not matter as much to me. This product works much like a tinted moisturizer, it has SPF which is nice, it doesn't smell and you only need a bit for your face. -

Primers are a really great thing, I know most people wouldn't even think to use them, or don't think they make much of a difference, but for me they totally do. Especially in the summer, I see a huge difference when I use primers under my foundation. It helps your makeup glide on better, and keeps it in place and from sliding around, also it fills in any fine lines or noticeable pores. This Revlon primer is a much cheaper alternative for the Smashbox Photo Finish that is really popular. I also like how the packaging is compact and in a squeezy tube. I will continue to buy this and hope that Revlon never discontinues it! -

I was excited to try this out, as I haven't used much Marcelle stuff. This is a pretty light feeling, non-greasy daily moisturizer with SPF. I don't normally wear sunscreen on it's own, but have it in my face creams and tend to put that everywhere else too, or just buy a sunscreen primarily for face as that is my my concern, unless I am at the beach or something and need it all over. This cream will not make your wrinkles disappear, but over time it can improve the appearance of "first wrinkles" so it's good for girls in their late 20's and 30's. I enjoyed trying this out and will continue to see it to observe if there are any changes to the fine lines around my eyes. -

This is my everyday haircare product, I love John Frieda's haircare. I use the brillant brunette line, the shampoo and conditioner, the spiral waves spray and some defrizz serums as well. I don't think it does much to brighten or change the colour of my hair, but it does leave it soft and tangle free. -

This is an abridged version of the review that I posted on my blog. This mascara will not make your lashes look like you are wearing falsies, only falsies will do that, but the marketing for this mascara is great, every woman will fall for it and expect miracles from this mascara. However, this mascara does lenghten pretty well and I am a fan of the curved-ish brush, it makes application easier. I am a fan of maybelline mascara in general and this mascara is not bad, but don't expect miracles from this. -
