I am completely loyal to this perfume and always have it in stock.

Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb Perfume
Amazing smell. It's the first perfume that has lured me away from old faithful (Givenchy - Simply Irresistible) which I've been loyal to for over 10 years. Lasts most of the day

This is great cleanser. It lasts FOREVER.
I've been using it daily for a month, and I cake my makeup on pretty thick, and I've not even used half the bottle.
It dries my skin SLIGHTLY, but cleansers always have.
You can get it right on your eyeballs (if you want) and it doesn't sting at all.
It takes some scrubbing to get all of my waterproof mascara off but it's a winner for me!

Eyeko Black Magic Mascara
Not a fan! Mascara was a little dry, and actually made very little difference to my eyelashes, didn't particularly curl them or lengthen them. Won't be buying again!

Wish I could give this brush 6*s.
I splurged on a Bobbi Brown powder brush a few years ago and it was nothing but a pain.
I'd have to go with a tweezers after each makeup application and take off all the loose hairs it had left on my face/
The eco tools is a tenth of the price and it doesn't leave anything on my face apart from bronzer.
I've just purchased my second brush after I lost the other one, but I think I will be a loyal eco tools customer for the forseeable future!

This brow pencil is a great price, but I didn't give it 5*s as it runs down SO quickly.
I was going through one of these every two months, possibly more when I was using it.
I love the colour (dark brown) and the application, but it works out pretty costly when you're buying 6-7 per year.
I've now moved on to Anastasia Beverly Hills DipBrow Pomade - It lasts a lot longer. It may have a higher cost when you factor in the brush too, but it's lasted me well over a year, saving me probably over $100!

LOVE this product.
Worth every penny, and make sure you purchase the special eyebrow brush, it is also worth the initial spend.
To put this into perspective, I was going through about 1 Benefit Brow Pencil every 2 months, I bought this little pot of dipbrow pomade and I've now had it a year.
It has dried SLIGHTLY but is not beyond use.
It's natural looking and gives you the ability to build up colour so that you don't go too dark, too quick.
I think I will be loyal to this brand forever more!

MAC Cosmetics Fluidline

I used to love this eyeliner, but I hate that so much of the product goes to waste.
It dries out so quickly, and I always seem to end up having to throw away half the pot.
I use it every day, so I can't imagine how anyone would possibly get through the whole lot before it dries.
Another problem is that my eyelids can get quite greasy randomly and this does not hold through the grease.
I'd sometimes come home from work looking like a panda.
If I hadn't discovered the joys of liquid liner (stila in particular) I'd be using this still.
Also...MAC test on animals...so I'm officially 'de-MAC-ing' myself!

Bourjois khol & contour eyeliner

This is one of the darkest khol eyeliners I've ever used.
Its super dark, and goes really well on the waterline!
Most eyeliners I've tried don't seem to stay on the waterline too well, this is different.
It also works below the water line and smudges well.
The price is super cheap and it would get 5* only i find it gunks up your eyes now and then.
I'll continue to use this as I have for the past 10 years or so until I find something that is better!

I love this limp balm.
Theres something more satisfying and special about using the spherical shape on your lips!
The range of flavours is different than your usual balms and all the ones I have tried, I've loved.
However it's rather expensive for what I consider to be a very average balm, and I'd probably prefer to spend my money on Burts Bees!
