I have long, straight, brown hair, which I typically wash every other day. My biggest issue with my hair is that it can get very oily by the second day. I use this dry shampoo in the morning and massage it through my hair with the pads of my fingers (not with my nails because it can get under the nails and make it look like I have dirty nails). I have tried other Batiste dry shampoos in the past. I love that this one in particular, because it doesn't leave my hair feeling sticky, greasy, or with a white cast. And it smells so good! Needless to say I will repurchased this product, even though it is quite difficult to find in my area.

It does a fairly good job of removing makeup very, very easily with minimal effort on my part. It’s a simple swipe and go. I love the convenience of using a micellar water when I get home late and just can’t be arsed to do my entire cleansing routine. It’s the lazy guide’s girl to removing makeup. I don’t really rely on these for daily cleansing though. I typically clean my face as I normally do and I follow up with micellar to get anything my regular cleanser or cleansing oil might have left behind. They are great to use as a secondary cleansing method if you tend to double cleanse.
The Garnier formula has absolutely no fragrance and is excellent for all skin types particularly sensitive ones. I’d say it gets off 95% of my makeup, even harder to remove waterproof mascara and eye makeup. I do find it leaves a little bit of mascara behind but aside from that it really does do a good job getting it all my makeup off quickly and easily. This doesn’t leave me sticky nor does it leave a film behind. It leaves skin lightly softened after use. But no doubt, Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water is an excellent pick that won’t let you down when removing makeup!

LOVE LOVE LOVE this blush! The shade Orgasm is definitely one of the star attractions of this line and it’s easy to see why. It has a splendid texture and apply beautifully with a sheer initial application that builds to any depth of colour desired. It really gives my face the glow that I get a ton of compliments on. I also love how the shade range is very extensive, and most of the colors have strong pigment (a plus for women with dark skin). I would definitely recommend this for people of all skin tones! -

I did not like this blender for foundation application. It absorbed quite a bit of foundation. Its stiffness and high density does not allow for a lot of bouncing around on the face. However, I do love its size and shape. Rather than using it for foundation, I found that it is perfect for blending out concealer in the under eye area. Its pointed tip is able to reach the inner corners of the eye, which the beauty blender is not able to do. Overall, I will be using it for concealer but not foundation!

I love this foundation. It left the face soft, velvety, and hydrated, just like the name suggests. However, I would say that it gives a more dewy finish, rather than matte. I am overall very impressed. It glides over the skin beautifully, and masks my pores completely, even the ones around my nose. It provides a full, buildable coverage that lasts all day long.

This product goes on smooth and dry! It takes around 15 - 20 mins to set, and then leaves no transfer, what so ever!
The colour and pigmentation are spectacular. My number one favorite is Dragon girl. I do also love dolce vita and cruel. I love that it works both as a lip liner and as a lip stick. The best part is that it drys matte and does not dry out my lips at all.

I love the scent of this perfume. It is subtle yet sophisticated. This floral, feminine scent that has become my signature smell. I get a lot of complicated whenever I wear it.
However, it doesn't last very long. It only takes about 3-4 hours for scent to fade entirely.

This foundation is of good quality for a drug store foundation. Its formula feels very similar to the Giorgio Armani luminous silk foundation. It drys matte, and is perfect for my oily skin.
I find that the product has a strong chemical scent, which is irritating to my sensitive nose. Also, it is quite trouble some that I must to mix 2 shades together to get my skin tone.

This eyeshadow palette comes in a beautiful, magnetic-closure, travel-friendly case. It has some beautiful and versatile shades, which are perfect for day or night-time looks.
However, I find the some of the lighter colours chalky and hard to blend. It takes some time and patience to work with it.

I love this mascara! It really lives up to its price tag. It does an amazing job lengthening my lashes, which are usually very stubborn.
My only problem with it, is that it tends to clump a lot.
However, an easy resolution I found, is to use a separating mascara as a first coat, and They're Real as a second coat.
