Superfit with this foundation :) (Clinique SuperFit Makeup)

Advantages: great coverage and lasts
Disadvantages: slighlty pricey

...on the skin. I use a trusty make up sponge to make sure its blended properly. I love the full coverage it gives, perfect when I am called out to the hospital in the middle of the night. I just stick a layer of this on and you can't tell I have had no sleep! I buy alot of my make up from Debenhams, which you have proabaly noticed from my other reviews. This product costs me around £17.50 which i think is great compared to other such as estee lauder which can cost up to £21 for the same size foundation. Overall this foundation gives good blendable coverage which stays on and lasts....

Review of Clinique Superfit Make-Up

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

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

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

Eye Make Up Remover

Advantages: Olay Cream, it works
Disadvantages: None

...since the early days when it was just a pink liquid in a jar. It now has expanded into a wide range of other products and I use quite a few of them. The one I am reviewing here is the Olay Eye Make Up remover. I am one who always has to remove her make up at the end of the day as I hate to sleep in it and think my face does a lot better without it on and so I was very excited when I found this product a few years ago. I love Olay so to have a make up remover that uses Olay lotion as well is an absolute benefit. The Olay eye make up remover comes in a tube with a flip top cap. The tube is white with blue writing on it and the cap is blue. The lotion inside is quite thick. It is fragrance free and colour free to care for the delicate eye area. To me, it smells a bit like regular Olay lotion which as it says above doesn?t really have...

Review of Olay Daily Cleansers Eye Make Up Removing Cream

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...

Review of Boots No.7 Cleanse & Care Eye Make-up Remover

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

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...

Review of Clinique Superfit Make-Up

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

A great addition to your makeup bag!

Advantages: Removes even waterproof makeup with ease
Disadvantages: A litlle greasy

...I don't wear eye makeup very often but on the occasions that I do I need something to remove the eyeliner, waterproof mascara and eye shadow. On a recent visit to Boots I received one of there £5 off No.7 product vouchers and spotted this at £6.90 for a 100ml bottle (therefore costing me only £1.90 - Bargain!) The bottle itself is semi-transparent with turqoise/blue coloured liquid inside it. This is useful as it indicates how much of the cleanser is left and when I should be thinking about getting a new bottle. To get the liquid out there is a pump at the top of the bottle which is covered by a lid when it is not in use. The bottle is recyclable and the contents should be used within 6 months of opening. According to the bottle the product is hypo-allergenic (so less likely to cause an allergic reaction) and suitable for all...
