Not a huge fan. I found it weird and the coulour makes it unbearable. I bought two of them, different colours, all excited to have a natural coloured lip balm/, only to be dissapointed.
The texture is weird, doesn`t hydrate at all and the colours are truly horrible.
Not worth it

Clean & Clear Blackhead Clearing Astringent

It`s an okay toner but it can be harsh on the skin, altough it has the reduced dosage of salicylic acid (0.5 versus 2%, as the original one has). If your skin is not overly sensitive this might work for you. It is however very harsh for a toner, it dries the skin quite a bit and I experienced crazy exfoliation, especially around my mouth.
It did however fight acne and breakouts when in need.
Just be careful with it, use it once a day in the beginning to see how you react to it, and adjust accordingly.

I realy love this cleanser. I don`t use it continuously, find that alternating products works better for me, yet every second month or so I purchase this and go through the whole bottle, with excellent results every time. I don`t have acne per se, just the occasional breakouts or clogged pores.
I like the actual freshness feel this product gives, the fact that it really gets in there and cleanses, and leaves my skin refreshed. It has Benzoyl Peroxide 5 or 10% ( i dont remember exactly) and unlike other Benzoyl Peroxide products, this one not only is very effective but it was never to harsh for my skin.
When my skin gets really ugly, or I feel that I need that boost, I spread a thin layer of the product on my damp clean skin, and leave it on for 10 mins or so, as a super blemish fighter mask.
Very worth it...

This is my current perfume. I simply love it. I love strong sweet, intoxicating perfumes and this one hit the spot for me. It sweet yet flowery, a relief after years of Angel. I do agree with Ali, it seems like there is no base note, it hits you hard in the beginning but then fades away without leaving that trace behind. I wish it would.
Other than that, I am on my second bottle and still love it.
It's very unique, and in my opinion a beautiful fragrance.

L'Oreal Paris True Match Blush
I wasn't impressed. The gloss was very sticky, not hydrating at all and the glitter was kinda rough. Weird texture and overall dissapointing results. Not worth it

I really dislike Garnier shampoos.
They are so so agressive and drying it`s unbelivable. I recently found myself having no choice but use it (emergency situation) and altough I`ve learned my lesson a long time ago, I decided to go for it and give it another try.
It`s worse than dishwasher soap. Very very foamey and soapy, literarly strips away any natural oil from the scalp, leaving my hair coarse, unmanageable and flat, while my scalp is dry and itchy. UGH!
One of the worst formulas I have ever tried.

This is a unique cleanser, and I was anxious to try it out. I actually loved the idea of the incorporated brush head yet I wasn't sure of it when I first saw it, the bristles seemed kinda rough and stiff to give a good exfolation. They are actually soft and flexible, and the whole mechanism is kinda wicked and very easy to use. The cleanser seemed ok, but just ok. A mild, regular cleanser, non drying, not very foamy and soapy, a good basic cleanser just good for day to day use. However, I expected something more, something rougher to really exfoliate and give me that squeaky clean feeling.
Overall, it's easy to use in the shower but not over the sink, it can get quite messy, the foam can get runny.
It's and ok product, fairly easy to use, gentle bot nothing over the top. It was fun to try it out. A fun product

Benefit Cosmetics Confessions of a Concealaholic

I was mega excited when I saw Ali's reviews and the timing was perfect... it just came out days before my sisters birthday. Since she always uses my Erase Paste and make-up, this was the perfect gift for her and the perfect oportunity for me to try out the kit (hey, sisters share right?).
I was put off by the tiny winy sample like products. I love the fact that it includes everything for a flawless face but they could have been a bit more generous with the quantity. It looks really like a sample pack, an overpriced one. And I did not like that it only had the medium shade of the erase paste, leaving me with no other option.
Other than that, it's very very practical.I got a chance to try a few thing I never had, and of course I love them. You really do have everything in there to conceal EVERYTHING! It's a great oportunity to try out different products without dishing out the big bucks for a full size product that you haven't tried yet.
My favourite: The erase paste ,which in my opinon is the best concealer ever!
very worth it
