The smell of this mask I found to be the most pleasant of the four masks I trialed. It had a sweet scent but not too overpowering. It was a hot day when I used this mask and it felt so nice and refreshing. I did notice a improved glow after removing the mask after the specified 15 minutes, my skin felt hydrated, looked plump and my pores were also less visible. However the results aren't long particularly long lasting. Perhaps a few hours. As I've said in my other reviews, I found the formula of the Garnier masks sticky, so I'd recommend use in the morning, ideally before makeup as I found it makes a good base for makeup, especially for dry skin. I found that the sticky residue would cause my skin to stick to my bedding at night. Overall I would recommend this mask as it is affordable and available, especially if you an pick it up on sale.

I enjoyed trialling this mask. I'm stoked that a 'drugstore' brand has brought out a mask that is targeted at purifying skin and refining pores but will also provide hydration. The mask is actually black as it is infused with charcoal. I found the scent to be plain but pleasant. After applying the mask and waiting the recommended 15 minutes, I found my skin to be plump and hydrated, and my pores more refined and less noticeable. Although I didn't find my blackheads completely gone, but I could still see a noticeable difference. My increased hydration levels seemed to last for a few hours also. As I've said in my other reviews, I did find the formula of the Garnier masks to be sticky so I'd recommend prior to applying makeup in the morning as it gives a great hydrated and plump base to work upon, and not before bed as my face would stick to my pillow.

I absolutely LOVE these razors and I always stockpile them when they are on sale. The razors give the most comfortable shave ever. The 5 blades are sharpened perfectly, they don't scrape or tug, I never result in any irritation and they last so much longer than any other razor I've used. There is also an inbuilt shea butter lubricant or "serum", as they call it, that comes out through small holes in the razor head as you shave, that helps to moisturise your skin. These are perfect for use on your underarms. I'm never itchy afterwards and I can apply my deodorant without any stinging. Seriously, go and buy these, you won't regret. I can't recommend these babies highly enough.

I received this for my eighteenth birthday many years ago - I can't remember how long you should keep perfume for, but this still smells gorgeous to this day. I don't wear perfume much and I'm nearly always gifted one bottle of it each year! Argh! But I think I have to say this is my favourite one in my collection. First of all, the bottle is absolutely gorgeous, and really does make a wonderful gift for someone, as it's so pretty to place on display. Although the flowers are hollow, and make pretty bad dust catchers unfortunately! The scent is great for any occasion - work, parties or gatherings. It's sweet but not too overpowering or offensive. It's a sweet floral, not a musky rose-floral. With a bit of fruity and woodiness. It's definitely not a teen scent either, it's still quite mature and suits me as I age. I would recommend :-)

I bought this years ago when I was first starting out with eyeshadow, and while it was pretty good to practice with at the time, for someone more experienced with eyeshadow, this is really not worth your time, nor your $26. The palette is designed to be used in duos, trios or quads and comes with basic instructions and diagrams on the back, which really helps someone starting out. There is a mix of matte and shimmer shadows, but the pigmentation is really lacking on most of the shades, and the colours are pretty ordinary, as they are quite dull and very similar to one another. I am only reviewing this now as I haven't touched it in such a long time and I'm about to throw it out. Honestly, either save your money for something better, or read some reviews of cheaper palettes and purchase something less expensive.

I've never purchased a mascara from Revlon before, but I was searching the market specifically for a tubing mascara to try out, as it seemed like a great new innovative product. Tubing mascaras are different to regular mascaras in their way of removal at the end of the day - the mascara coats your lash like normal, but when you wish to remove the mascara, the formula retains the shape of your lash and comes away in little 'tubes', and doesn't turn into a black watery mess like regular mascara. It's seriously such a great invention! The macara tube/canister itself is wide and flattened in shape, and quite heavy. The bristle brush wand has a very elongated pyramid shape and clicks shut when you screw it back into the tube. I don't really like bristle brush mascaras as I find they make my lashes look clumpy and I don't get the definition I'm after. This is also the case with this mascara. Even when lightly applied, my lashes look quite wirey. If I apply too many coats, my lashes become stiff and heavy and are a bit annoying when I blink. I never really have a problem with mascaras running on me, so I'm not sure what to comment in that regard, but I didn't have any fall-out or crumbling with this product. Although I don't enjoy the look of the product on my lashes, there is nothing really wrong with this mascara at all - it is really easy to remove and mess free, which is great after a long day or night out. It is just my preference that I prefer lengthening mascaras over volumising mascaras, so because of that, I don't think I'll purchase this one again. I'd like to try some other tubing mascaras out there.

These lip glosses are great! Although they are not very hydrating like their write-up makes them seem with the added 'Argan oil' and 'Vitamin E' claim, but the formula definitely doesn't dry my lips out. The formula isn't sticky or tacky, and not oily either. It's very comfortable and you can forget you're wearing it. It has a buildable formula, but doesn't get uncomfortable the more you apply. The shades are still fairly sheer though. The formula isn't scented as far as I can tell. It doesn't taste like anything either. The applicator is a long sturdy flat shape, and makes applying the product to the lips easy. I really can't see these actually lasting the 6 hour claim, unless you refrain from licking your lips and eating and drinking, however they do stain the lips slightly, especially so with the brighter colours. The gloss wears away evenly.

I also received this product as a part of the Glosscar awards day. I have dry, dehydrated skin, that isn't particularly congested or oily. However I have a slight oil build up on my chin, and usually get the most pimples there. Despite my aversion to clay masques due to my skin type, BH's Grace still encouraged me to give the masque a go as it is meant to be suitable for all skin types. The product is packaged in a small amber coloured screw-top tub with inner pull-up lid. (Be careful when replacing the lid after application - I got mine stuck down in the tub!). The masque itself is a light pink colour and has a faint rose scent. It has a very thick whipped consistency, however smooths onto the skin easily and doesn't dry too quickly, so it's very easy to work with. I only required about a tablespoonful. As it dried, it remained tightly planted on my skin, I never had any fallout or cracking/crumbling. It does restrict the movement of your face and made it hard to talk, however my skin never felt dry - which is my main issue! After gently wiping off with a warm soaked face washer, my skin felt deeply cleansed but still hydrated. Amazing! I'll have to give this another go in future. I am surprisingly pleased.

The Rimmel London Lasting Finish 25 Hr Breathable Concealer consists of a thin 7 mL plastic squeezy tube with a pea-sized sponge ball applicator and pull off cap. The product is able to be squeezed out through a pin-prick sized hole from the top Although the concept of the attached blending sponge is a good idea, in theory, for ease of application and touch-ups...the sponge itself however is very firm and does not do a very good job at blending (either wipes the concealer away or leaves it streaky looking), and is also not very hygienic either. I found it much easier to use my own makeup sponge to blend the concealer in, especially around my eye area, and also to squeeze the concealer onto the back of my hand/onto my makeup sponge instead, to be more hygienic The pull-off cap is also a bit risky to pull off, as I found it hard to not accidentally squeeze product out as I held onto the tube to pull the cap off. Maybe a screw on cap would have been better? The formula of the product itself is quite nice. It's creamy, comfortable, and has a nice natural looking finish that doesn't oxidise, but it is only medium coverage, so it does sheer out quite a lot, and doesn't seem to be able to be built up well. I attemped about three layers on my particularly dark circles one morning, before I gave up and used my usual concealer instead If it's a cool day, it does seem to last the whole day quite well, but I did have some separation issues on a warm day (around 30 degrees), which was disappointing, I can't imagine what it would look like in 40 degree weather! Definitely made for the English climate, not the Aussie climate. Although this product wasn't that bad, it definitely left me feeling un-amazed. I can't see myself repurchasing this concealer, as I know there are better products out there.

The Rimmel London 25 Hr Lasting Finish Breathable foundation comes in the usual 30mL glass bottle, but with a silver trim and lid I normally use the 25 Hr Lasting Finish Nude on a daily basis, but I have used nearly all of the foundations in the Rimmel range as they cater for fair skin (woohoo!), so I am very familiar with the foundations within the brand, and so was very excited to try this new addition to their range. I chose the shade 'Light Porcelain' as usual The other foundations in the Rimmel London range come with a pump, however the packaging for this foundation consists of a gigantic screw-down doe foot like applicator. In theory it's a great idea and is very easy to use, however it is really unhygienic. Foundation should never be able to go back in the bottle after being smeared all over the face. Especially with acne prone skin. Yucko The formula itself is more liquid-y than the others in the Rimmel range, and despite being labelled as 'medium coverage' it is definitely more of a light to medium coverage foundation. (Think BB cream like and 'your skin but better' coverage). When I attempted to build up the coverage it lost its 'breathable' quality and felt heavy and thick on the skin. So you'll definitely need a concealer for any dark circles and blemishes. I found the formula was fairly good at holding up to warm weather as well, it definitely became more dewy in the heat, but it didn't slide off my face or separate. It didn't oxidise or make my enlarged pores look bad either, and didn't react to my usual skin preparation routine (I apply a moisturiser and spf50+ sunscreen beforehand) Overall, I wouldn't purchase this foundation myself in future, I'll stick with the others in the Rimmel range, especially as they are cheaper too, more hygienic, and have better coverage for what I consider to be 'medium coverage'. However if you're looking for an extremely natural looking foundation, with an undetectable finish that lasts all day, this product is for you!
