MAC MAC Make up!

Advantages: Versatile colour
Disadvantages: No mirror

...Again and again I can't stop saying how much I love make up and cant' stress the importance (and most of all the fun) of keeping up to date with all sorts of colours, shades and textures each season brings to our make up counters MAC Shroom is a timeless must-have, it is a highly pigmented powder with a white/ creamy matte texture which is very versatile and should be owned by everyone who wants to have the good basics for make up artistry! This powder is a perfect a base colour where you can blend in a rainbow of shades but can be easily used under the highbrows as a highbrow highliter to open up the eye area and why not dub a bit between your eye and cheek for a highlighting effect? Mac eyeshadows are brilliant and vibrant, you are bound to find the right colours for you plus the Mac representatives are truly make up artists...

Review of MAC Shroom Matte Eyeshadow

Superbalanced make up

Advantages: Does not interfere with natural moisture balance, good coverage, glowing skin
Disadvantages: Hard to match colour, may require setting with powder

.... Whilst wearing this I have been told that my complexion looks even and clear which I don't think I have ever been told before! When it comes time to remove the foundation, it comes off easily with most types of cleaners and/or make up removers. I have had no kind of reaction which this product- I have sensitive skin and it seems fine to me which no problems. Although it does seem expensive this bottle has lasted me a long time and I am very happy with it. As I mentioned before, it is quite hard to match the colour (or for me it was anyway!) so I would recommend trying it in store and then wearing it home and checking in a range of different lights....

Review of Clinique Superbalanced Make-Up

Mac - Ordinary Make-up?

Advantages: Fantastic Colours
Disadvantages: No special offers and not enough outlets

...I recently went for a makeover at Mac in a local department store, I have always used Benefit in the past but wanted something that created a more dramatic look for evenings and when a weokmate reccomended Mac I thought I would give it a go. I booked a make-over which cost £20.00 but was told after the make-over that money would be deducted from anything you bought. Mac sell a full range of make up products including cleansing wipes, make up remover etc. Prices start from £8. The make-over was a bit of a disapointment, the foundation didn't offer very good coverage, the lip gloss was too sticky and although I explained I wanted dramatic eyes they were rather dull. I looked better when I arrived in the store than I did when I left but after the make-over I had a walk around to have a look at the products and they have some...

Clarins Instant Eye Make-Up Remover

Advantages: No oiliness, kind on eyes, attractive packaging
Disadvantages: A little too mild, didn't remove all my eye make up

...I bought this product a little while ago. I wanted something quick and easy that would effectively remove my eye make up but that was also quite gentle, since some eye make removers make your eyes sting! I have used Clarins products in the past and have found them to be effective, so I thought that I would give this 'Instant Eye Make-Up Remover' a try. The bottle is a simple and attractive design. It is an oval shaped, plastic bottle with a screw top lid. The lid is white with a silver coloured rim, which adds a nice bit of bling! The plastic is a frosted colour, and you can easily see though to the liquid inside. The make up remover has two layers in it, it looks really cool in the bottle! There is a blue layer on the bottom and a clear layer on top, and you have to shake the bottle before you use it so that these two layers mix...

Review of Clarins Instant Eye Make-up Remover

Make me Up!

Advantages: Gentle on eyes, easy to use and removes all make-up.
Disadvantages: Too many unnatural ingredients.

...The Simple Range is diverse and one of the most popular brands on the market. With it's 'simplistic' style and content together with a kind nature and honest touch. I use Simple products in my daily skincare routine, as I do not like using over-fussy products on my skin. I have normal skin which is prone to spots in certain areas, I find that the Simple product range calms my skin, and in particular the Eye make-up Remover is gentle on the eyes and removes what I want it to. Price: For a 125ml bottle I bought this one at my local Boots store for £2.89. You can sometimes get an item from this range free, when Boots are having a 2 for the price of 3 offer. I also get Boots points on this one which is good. This bottle will last me for a good 3 months or so and I only tend to use a small amount on a cotton wool pad for each eye...

Review of Simple Conditioning Eye Make-up Remover

Eye Make Up Remover

Advantages: Olay Cream, it works
Disadvantages: None

...I have always been a big fan of the Olay products as I've used it now for years. My mum used it before me so I think I was just following in her footsteps like most young girls do. Olay was first produced in South Africa. It has been a Procter and Gamble product since 1985 and became one of their Billion dollar brands in 2003. Apparently the name Oil of Olay was chosen by the producer (a chemist called Graham Wulff) because it was a spin off of the word Lanolin which was the key ingredient. Lanolin is used in the production of many cosmetics and lotions etc perhaps it is easily absorbed by the skin. It actually comes from wool bearing animals such as sheep and is secreted from their glands. (Eww, when you actually think or read what goes into make ups and lotions etc you would never want to use them!!) Olay has come a long way...

Nivea Extra Gentle Eye Make-up Remover - Extra Good!

Advantages: works brilliantly
Disadvantages: none

...Nivea Visage Extra Gentle Eye Make -up Remover.... I wear soft contact lenses everyday and after using a few make up removers that left my eyes feeling irradiated and sore I decided on buying an extra gentle make-up remover and perusing the shelves in Boots I came across this one made by Nivea Visage. It was a reasonable price at £3.39 pence for a good 125ml sized bottle. The design of the bottle is fairly average and just buy looking you can tell it is not an expensive product. It is quite a chunky design which means it stands up well on my dressing table and the lid which is a flip top pops open easily and clicks to seal very well. The liquid inside the bottle is clear although the bottle itself is tinted blue giving the impression that the liquid inside is this blue colour. The Extra Gentle Eye Make-up Remover is really...

Review of Nivea Visage Extra Gentle Eye Make-up Remover

Gentle? Yes. Eye make up remover? No.

Advantages: It's gentle
Disadvantages: Doesn't remove eyeshadow, mascara, eyeliner, have to rub hard

...When it comes to eye makeup remover, I'm not after a miracle product - just one that works but is gentle on the eyes as I can suffer from quite sensitive eyes which are easily irritated by lotions and potions. So when my sample of Lancome Bi Facil ran out I opted for L'oreal's Gentle Eye Make Up Remover, sold by the 'gentle' tag in the title and the attractive price tag of £2.68 for 125ml. It's enriched with Pro-Vitamin and promises to gently and effectively remove makeup, as well as refreshing the skin. It is suitable for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers. Packaging is simple - a short, stubby bottle with a flip top lid which is actually quite stiff and difficult to open. Strike one... The liquid is a pale blue and very thin, the texture of water, and has a light refreshing scent. To use, you simply apply to a cotton pad...

Review of L'Oreal Gentle Eye Make Up Remover

Garnier eye make up remover

Advantages: Great all round product
Disadvantages: none

...In regards to eye make up removal, I often find that facewipes can be really harsh on the eye area and so have been using some different eye make up removers which i can use with a cotton ball. I tried this Garnier one recently and have to say I really enjoyed using it. Firstly, I didn't find it at all oily or greasy on the eye, it has the consistency of water and was great at removing stubborn mascara and eyeliner. I simply applied a generous amount to the cotton wool ball and gently removed all makeup. The product was also quite refreshing for the eyes and felt really nice and cooling. The container states that the product contains flower extracts which is possible the reason the product was so refeshing; it is also stated that the product is suitable for sensitive eyes which I would definately agree with. The bottle is a great size...

Review of Garnier Gentle Eye Make-up Remover

Clinique superfit makeup

Advantages: natural finish, long lasting, great for asian skin
Disadvantages: cost

...In the past whenever I have approached one of the ladies behind a makeup counter for help on finding a foundation to suit my skin, I have always walked away not pleased. These ladies have come across as being very helpful & they do try their best but they have always tried colours on my skin that were a few shades too dark unfortunately. This might have been down to the fact that I have an uneven skin tone & in order for them to try to even out my skin colour, they always happened to pick out the darkest colour on my face and go with that particular shade. On the odd occasion when I have been shown a shade that I didn't particularly mind, I felt like my face had far too many layers on it, the foundation was too thick for my liking, I looked overdone, and it neither felt nor looked natural. One day as a final try before I gave up...
