Review: Estee Lauder Idealist Even Skintone Illuminator Serum

I bought my first bottle of this at Selfridges amidst all the new serum hype right around this time last year. A very charming sales assistant convinced a somewhat skeptical me with their great return policy, if you don't like it you can return it up until 3 weeks, or something, I don't remember exactly so don't run over there and quote me on that! They even added a free concealer/mascara duo to make the experience even more pleasant. Now it's been almost a year that I've been using this and thought it was well time for a review.

Review: Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Serum

30 years of innovation, inspired by groundbreaking DNA research, 20+ Patents worldwide.. These are phrases from just quickly gazing over Estee Lauder's information about their classic Advanced Night Repair serum on their website. It's hard not to be at least intrigued..

Review: Givenchy Phenomen' Eyes Mascara in 1 Extension Black

I dare say this is Givenchy's most famous cosmetic. I have heard great things of the Phenomen 'Eyes mascara for the longest time, though for some reason never got around to actually trying it out for myself, until now.

Review: La Roche-Posay Effaclar Cleanser and Toner

This review is of two products from the La Roche-Posay Effaclar series, the Purifying Foaming Gel for oily sensitive skin and the astringent lotion micro-exfoliant. I've used these from time to time the past year, increasing the frequency recently to everyday to really test them out, as well as get to my goal of finally finishing a lot of products up!

Favourites: March 2012

These are products that I have used and loved this month. It could be new purchases or old re-discoveries. There won't always be one in every category, as this is not for what I've been using, but products that have really stood out and that has gotten me excited about make up and skincare. Sometimes I might include things from other categories if I feel it is worth a mention, but not always.

Review: Cicabiafine Baume Hydratante Corporel Quotidien

I received two generous samples of this body lotion some time ago and thought I'd share my experience.

Review: YSL Rouge Pur Couture Vernis A Levres Glossy Stain in 7

Another brand new highly innovative product to launch this spring! It truly is an exciting time for any beauty junkie. There's already been a lot of hype surrounding these, and I finally got my hands on my very own in the shade 7.

Review: Revlon ColorStay Foundation for Combination/Oily Skin

On the lookout for something to match my brand new pale winter skin, that also wasn't too expensive, I finally tried the Revlon ColorStay foundation, having heard raves about it for years. I've had different experiences with this foundation, on both ends of the spectrum. That being said, when I didn't like it, it was my own fault!

NOTD: OPI I Have A Herring Problem from the Holland mini collection

Review: Shu Uemura Stage Performer

I started using Shu Uemura's Stage Performer primer just before christmas last year looking for something to give life back to my pale winter skin. The primer promises instant glow and radiance and as with all primers, help foundation with making your skin look flawless and perfect.
