Wonderfully soft mineral make-up brush.

Advantages: Good quality and works well with mineral powder, and cheaper than other high end brushes!
Disadvantages: Doesn't come with a case or anything to protect it.

...I have been wanting to try a good Mineral makeup foundation powder for a while now, and I understood that with Mineral foundation you need a good kabuki brush as mineral makeup powder is very fine and light. A Kabuki brush is a small brush usually with a dense head of bristles or dome shaped. If you wear mineral make up then a good kabuki brush is classed as essential. Mineral make up is a loose powder foundation that is very natural and good for all skin types. There are no perfumes, nasty chemicals or preservatives. When using a normal make up brush with a minerals foundation it can look a bit too heavy, but using a good brush designed for use with mineral make up ensures that it looks natural and gives an even courage. I was looking over the Mineral makeup powder in the Body Shop when the assistant offered to try some of the powder...

Review of The Body Shop - Nature's Minerals Foundation Brush

The best face brush ever

Advantages: great quality
Disadvantages: price

...****Elizabeth Arden Mineral Makeup Face Brush **** I have been looking for a good foundation brush for quite awhile so when i was browsing the Elizabeth Arden counter at my local Debenhams i took the counter persons recommendation and purchased this brush. **Elizabeth Arden** They sell quite high quality cosmetics and other toiletry products. You can purchase their products from beauty stands in department stores such as Boots etc or online at their website of the same name. **The brush** This is a angled brush that is made from synthetic hair and is so soft. I think it looks quite smart as it is black and gold coloured(the colours of the brand)The brush feels quite thick. It says on the website that this is suitable for all powders and i think it works really well with the foundation is is supposed to go with. Another thing i liked...

Review of Bare Escentuals Full Coverage Kabuki Brush

A good makeup remover for a good price

Advantages: Low price, gets rid of makeup easily, lasts a while
Disadvantages: Stings your eyes a little bit

...AVON Conditioning eye makeup remover lotion I have been an Avon representative for nearly a year now, and in this time I think I have nearly spent more than I've earned - it's too tempting not to buy anything myself and when I'm always trying to convince other people to buy the products I'm usually the one who gets convinced! I bought this makeup remover lotion not too long ago, probably about three months back. The main reasons I bought it was because I run out of face wipes really quickly, so I thought this would last longer and also because it was a low price at around only £1.50. I couldn't resist so ordered myself one with the next campaign. When the bottle arrived in the box with the rest of the ordered products for the campaign it looked exactly like it does in the brochure and I wasn't surprised at all about the size...

Review of Avon Conditioning Eye Make-up Remover

bye bye eye make-up

Advantages: Cheap, it works
Disadvantages: Stings very occasionally

...This review is of Skin Therapy Eye Make-Up Remover. Skin Therapy is a skin care range, including facial wipes, moisturisers, cleansers, facial washes and so on. It is exclusive to Wilkinsons, so none of the prodcuts are likely to break the bank. I'm not a huge make-up person, I'm too pale for foundation, too lazy for tinted moisturiser, lip colour gives me too much of a Lesley Ash pout (not a good look, I can assure you), and blusher tends to make me look like I've been slapped! I do, however, love my eye make-up, not every day, but when I feel tired or run down, or if I'm going out, I 'do' my eyes. And when I do them, I really do them, with eye shadow, heavy eye-liner a la smokey eyed look, and lashings of mascara. Of course, all of this eye make-up has to then come off. I've tried so many different eye make-up removers in my time...

Review of Wilkinsons Skin Therapy Eye Make-up Remover

Almost Foundation ... Certainly Make Up

Advantages: Blends well, isn't heavy, protects against sun related skin damage
Disadvantages: Can get water-y (separates), expensive, middling coverage

...It wouldn't be unfair to say that I'm a bit of a guy in disguise - I live in jeans, read (and watch) science fiction, have never understood the cult of celebrity, don't watch reality TV, and, more to the point, rarely wear make up. Oh, I occasionally use cover up (as I'm a terrible picker, and can never leave a spot alone), but don't often go the full foundation-to-mascara route. However, I have recently been attending job interviews, and so have piled the slap on (ok, that's a slight exaggeration) in my quest to impress. Therefore, the first thing I apply is foundation. Because I'm not much of a make-up wearer, I don't want a heavy foundation - I don't want to look like a clown in the circus. Last time I went to buy make-up, I therefore went to the Clinque counter and asked for advice (I only ever buy make up when there are freebies...

Review of Clinique SPF15 Almost Make-Up

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

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...

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

Eye makeup remover that works

Advantages: Removes makeup well, doesnt irritate, moisturises eyes
Disadvantages: Dodgy pump, slightly greasy

...I have always washed my mascara off while washing my face which usually results in all the makeup running into my eyes and then bloodshot eyes! So I decided it was about time I got some proper eye makeup remover. I usually like the No7 skincare stuff so decided to try this one. It cost £7.00 for the 100ml bottle which does sound expensive but it is quite a big bottle and only a bit is required each day. What it promises No7 say: it uses double action to condition while you cleanse and is suitable for sensitive eyes and will even remove waterproof mascara. Packaging I really like the packaging for this, it comes in a nicely shaped bottle with a big pearly looking white lid. The bottle is clear so you can see the blue liquid inside. It has a big gold ?No7? at the top with ?Cleanse & Care Eye makeup remover...
