I took a while to purchase this foundation as i have oily skin and thought since it says hydrating thought it wouldn't be suitable for my oily skin. I love this foundation. I have already repurchased this foundation several times and will continue to do so. The shade i purchased was the lightest shade (at least in Australia) called neutral champagne which is a good match for my light skin however those with ivory/porcelain would probably struggle to find a shade fair enough. You only need a small amount to get a good medium to full coverage. It blends like a dream into the skin without looking too heavy or cakey or feeling too heavy either. The finish is a fairly matte (which may be due to having talc as one of the ingredients) but doesn't make me look too flat. It also contains aloe vera and hyaluronic acid which help provide the skin with some moisture.

I love eyeshadow palettes, it the one beauty item i can't say no to. I love the fact that i can create an everday look if i am in a rush (lighter shades over lid, a mid tone inn the crease and a dark shade as a liner)or if i so desire a smokey eye. The palette contains a mix of pearl and matte shades which is nice and makes creating looks easier. The formula is silky smooth and the shadow blend with ease. I do find the shadows to be fairly soft so fall out is an issue however i tend to do my eyes first anyway so it makes it easy to clean up. I have many palettes from cheapies like this to higher end $60 plus and find that this performs just as well as the higher priced items.

I do really like this concealer. I do find it hard to find cruelty free products at an affordable price. I bought the lightest shade and seems to work well on my fair skin (although not as light as i generally use). Its a fairly thin formula which works well for the under eyes as it blends easily and is hydrating and not drying. It provides fairly good coverage (light to medium) and looks natural on the skin. I did find that sometimes after a long day it does start to fade (which other concealers do also)however i do enjoy using this concealer.

I love my essence eyebrow pencil and is one i have repurchased many times. I bought this on a whim and glad that i did. I have very dark brown brows (leaning towards black) so i purchased the darkest shade. I was supprised about the unique shape of the applicator its a double toothed felt tip that applies the product in a neat and precise way. I do think that it would be suited to those who have more sparce hairs as i find having full brows a standard eyebrow pencil is better suited for me. As for the product itself goes on easily and sets into place well (it says its semi-permanent) and stays put until you take it off.

J-lo Glow is the first perfume I ever purchased and wore. I remember saving enough money to purchase a bottle that came with a free white handbag. I had forgotten how much I do enjoy using this perfume. It contains neroli, amber, rose, vanilla and musk to name only several of the notes. The scent to my nose is a soapy and powdery smell and very much reminds me of fresh clean linens. It is a very clean just got out of the shower smell that lingers for days (on my clothes). It can be a very thick scent if you use too much so remember to use sparingly. Will definitely continue to repurchase.

This was a blind buy for me and turned out to be a little bit surprising. The bottle is gorgeous it is the same concept as cloud and the previous fragrance a found bottle with a holder/sleeve in the shape of crystals that it easily removable. On initial spray what hit me is that this feels like a much more mature and unique fragrance than her previous offerings and once it has settled into the skin releases a more sweet scent but at the same time more mature. It contains pear, fig, musk, sandalwood as well as lavender which is what I can really smell. I can still smell it hours after the first spray. For a celebrity scent I feel this is much mire unique that a lot of others.

I like a lots of volume, curl and density for my lashes on a daily basis and when I first tried this mascara I admit I was a little disappointed. I like the formula that again is made with natural ingredients such as coconut oil which helps to condition the lashes. I did find that it gave my lashes a nice dark colour and great length and volume however I didn't find it really as buildable as my lash princess mascara to give a more dramatic look. I do like the formula of this mascara and will continue to use this on days where I want a more makeup no makeup look. Also it is easy to remove at the end of the day with a face wipe that doesn't leave me looking like a raccoon.

I am usually a matte primer kind of girl but decided to give this little product a go. It contains over 90% natural ingredients such as hemp seed oil and hyaluronic acid to name only two. If I can find a cruelty-free mostly natural products that are affordable I am definitely going to try. The formula reminds me of more of a moisturiser/gel texture. It applies easily on to the skin and sinks into skin with no issue and doesn't feel heavy at all. It has a light fresh pleasant scent. On my oily skin it gave my skin a nice glow and a nice base for makeup. As for wear I always set my makeup with powder as I did with this primer and found my skin did look good after a few hours wear. I haven't as yet tried it for all day wear however so far so good. Keen to keep trying this on a daily basis.

For a long time I was a mascara snob, and I equated price with quality, that is until I tried essence mascaras. I have been using the lash princess mascara almost exclusively however when they released this mascara I thought I would try it. The applicator is made of plastic and has a slight curve to the wand which makes getting little lashes easy. I found that the formula was good not too wet or dry. I applied one coat which gave nice length, definition and volume and was able to layer and buildup my lashes to get a more dramatic look(which is my preference) without looking spidery. The formula contains nourishing oils like jojoba and almond. I really enjoy this mascara both on its own as well as combined with my lash princess mascara and will definitely repurchase.

I wasn't sure if i was going to try this serum or not as i have oily skin and didn't know whether it would cause me to be more oily. I decided since i loved the hello good stuff watermelon mist i would give this a go. It comes in a glass bottle with a dropper which makes getting the right amount super easy. I have used this serum a couple of times since i bought it and must say i do really enjoy this on my skin. I have applied it at night only and must say i like how it makes my skin feel. It feels light weight gel that is easily applied and gives the skin some much needed moisture and glow. I may try it under makeup as i feel it would make a good base. The smell is amazing,just like a juicy pineapple ( it contains pineapple extract).
