I find this scrub very drying for my combination skin. It doesn't seem to remove all the dead skin nor the black or white head that were on my nose. It irritate my sensitive a little bit so use sparingly or once a week. If you're looking for a cheap scrub, than this would be borderline ok. Once I finish this bottle, I wouldn't repurchase this product again. I find it a waste of money and time when using it. -

I've been using Soleil de tan by Chanel for 6 years now and during those 6 years I repurchased the product 3 times only and I use it everyday. It's a bit pricey but since it will last you for quite a longtime, it is worth splurging. This product will literally last you forever since a little goes a long way. This bronzer is nice on every skin tone. It doesn't look harsh or orange like a lot of bronzers do. In the pot, it feels hard, but as you use it on your face, the product turns creamy but turns into a powder finish and leave a dewy finish. You need to work a bit harder with the blending otherwise you might end up with blotchy spot on you face. You can use this as a bronzer all over the face or as a contour for your cheekbones or bridge of your nose. You will not have orange face if you put it all over as a bronzer. Since it is a cream product, you'll have to set it with a powder for a longer lasting power. There's a nice scent that is not over powering, but the pot is heavy and big so I wouldn't carry it with me the entire day. -

I don't have any grays so I gave it to my mom. When I applied it on my mom's roots, I notice that it was easy to apply, fast and there's a distinct faint smell. It's not an overpowering smell that will make you gag. It's easy to use, but kinda annoying and a drag to just use it on the roots. You might as well wear the colouring on the entire product on the head. I find it it's too much of a hassle even if it's easy to use. The colour doesn't last that long. After 1 week, my mom's gray started to show and she felt her scalp itchy when I applied it to her roots. So if you have sensitive scalp, beware, you night start itching. If you have a lot of gray, you will need more than one application and keep in mind that the colour fades quickly. This is best suited if you have little grays to cover -

Upon receiving this product, I tried it right away!
I always use a sunscreen on top of my moisturizer. The texture is creamy, a bit watery, light, faint smell, not greasy. It felt very light on my face, but even if it's not greasy, I still felt that the product was a bit sticky on my combination skin. I like the fact that it's spf 45. I have sensitive skin, so this product didn't break me out! I had no problem putting my makeup afterward...just remember to let the sunscreen penetrate for a few minutes before. Don't forget to powder it if you have combination or oily skin because you will see the oiliness after 1hour.
The packaging is cheap, but couldn't complain for the price we're paying, Plus the bottle is small, so you can bring it anywhere.
So in all, great product since I didn't breakout, portable, spf 45, light, but your skin can get greasy after using it.

When receiving Vim cream, I was happy to try it since I never used the cream before. I used vim powder.
There is no difference with the powder and this new cream product, except that the new vim smells better.
It has a creamy, thick texture. The lemon smell is a plus since my old vim smells awful. I always use vim to clean my bathroom: bathtub and sink. After using vim, I always feel that my bathtub and sink are super clean. I don't see any residue of the product afterward in the bathtub or the sink.

I've been using blacktrack fluideline for years and I really like it. It's very creamy, easy to blend and last all day, but you can still use water or eye makeup remover to remove the product. The small pot last me for 8 months and I wear it every single day. I even wear it when i go to the gym and it stays on. It doesn't smudge under my eye or crease on top of my oily lid (always use a primer before though). The color is very pigmented and dries fast, but still gives you enough time to play with it until your satisfy with you line.
If you're looking for a liquid eyeliner, have shaky hands or afraid to poke ur eyes with a liquid liner, the fluidline is an alternative to the liquid liner.
Overall, it's a great product to buy and it will last you a long time, and very easy to use.

I bought Lillium and Petunia which is kinda pinky color. They are both very creamy, natural and blends very well with your fingers or a brush. I have a combination skin and the color last all day long and it doesn't make my sensitive skin break out. It's small so you can pop this in your makeup bag anywhere and very easy for touch up. I use this as a blush, a lipstick and eyeshadow. I either use it as a base or alone. It blends well on top of powder or liquid foundation. The texture is very light and the color can be sheer or bright depending on how you apply it. -

I was excited to try the two maybeline eyeshadows when I received them. I was disappointed. For a drugstore eyeshadow, the color payoff was ok. I expected more from it given that the color was so vibrant while looking at it. I found it a bit too light/pale and you have to apply a few coat in order to get the color thaty you want. I found that the pink/purple has chunky glitter in it; at the end of the day, the glitter will fall under your eyes. The texture is velvety, but the color fades throughout the day even if I've used a primer before. The plastic box is kinda cheap looking and the brush that comes with it is useless. I tried wearing all the color in the palette......I either look like a disco ball with all the glitter or like I'm not even wearing any eyeshadow. I had to use different color with the shimmery palette to balance the glitter because there was not a matte color that came with it.
Over all, if you don't like shimmer eyeshows, don't buy this because you will see chunky silver glitter under your eyes. The color last for a few hours only, and you need to wear a few layers in order to get a nice vibrant color. It's an ok product, not the best though.

This product is neat, but I don't think it works on me because aside from not having any fine lines/wrinkles, my lips are fuller(big) so I don't need this. The product is white, you need to rub it properly and let it absorbs onto your lips otherwise you will be walking around with stuff on your lips. It kinda moisturizes the lips and made the lipstick application easier and smells good, but I didn't see any difference when I tried it for 2 weeks or so. Since I received a few boxes, I gave 1 to my mom and sister. Both have thin lips and said that it makes their lips fuller and a bit bigger. They also said that it doesn't sting which is very good.
Overall it's a good moisturizing cream if you don't have any fine lines and your lips will look a little bit plumper if you have very thin lips.

I was a bit skeptical about this foundation because I wasn't too sure about it. I tried this when I went clubbing and I really like it. It mattifies my combination skin, and leave a dewing finish, which what I liked the most. It doesn't dry or cake your skin. Although it covers mostly everything, you still need to put a concealer on top of your blemishes. YOu don't have to use a lot of concealer given that the foundation covers most of the problem areas. The color of the foundation was the perfect color of my skin, therefore I can just dab it on problem areas such couple pimples on the forehaed and redness around the nose. This blends very well and stays all day, but I had to powder the shiny area (t-zone) throughout the day. It's oil-free, and my sensitive skin did not break out, which is awsome! I wished it were a bit cheaper, but other than those few minor problems, I really like the foundation and I will rebuy it again. -
