BOBBI BROWN OIL FREE FOUNDATION

Advantages: coverage, light, blends in well
Disadvantages: expensive

...I HAVE USED THIS PRODUCT FOR THREE YEARS NOW AND IT IS FANTASTIC, THE COVERAGE IS GREAT AND FEELS LIGHT ON THE SKIN. I HAVE SPOT PRONE SKIN THEREFORE THE OIL FREE FOUNDATION HELPS MY SKIN BREATHE. YOU HAVE TO USE A SMALL AMOUNT FOR GREAT COVERAGE AND DOES NOT DRY OUT THE SKIN OR LEAVE A 'MASK' LIKE FEELING. THE COVERAGE LASTS UPTO EIGHT-TEN HOURS. THE DISADVANTAGE OF THIS PRODUCT IS THE PRICE.... ..£24 PER BOTTLE BUT IF YOU HAVE SPOT PRONE SKIN AND WOULD LIKE TO MAXIMISE YOUR COVERAGE THEN THIS FOUNDATION WOULD BE WORTH YOUR MONEY. IF YOU FIND IT TO EXPENSIVE TO USE EVERYDAY I WOULD RECOMMEND YOU TO BUY IT FOR SPECIAL OCCASIONS IF YOU ARE WANTING A FLAWLESS FINISH. :)...

Nivea Visage Oil-Free Moisturising Fluid

Advantages: Smells nice, good value, doesn't sting the skin, protects from UVA/UVB
Disadvantages: Provides a bad base for make-up, doesn't absorb well

...I always spend ages choosing moisturisers, reading the back of boxes to find the ideal product for me. I have skin that requires moisturising, but I'm also prone to blocked pores. In addition to that, I like to have a matte complexion and daily protection from the sun. I'm also on a tight budget and stick to reasonably priced brands. As a result, trying to a moisturiser with all of the desired qualities can be time-consuming! I found Nivea Visage Oil-Free Moisturising Fluid in my local branch of Boots. It cost a reasonable £3.72 for 100ml. I felt this was good value for money as even a 100ml bottle or pot of moisturiser usually lasts me at least 6 months if not longer. I don't let packaging influence my decision when buying toiletries or cosmetics, but the lotion is presented nicely in a white bottle with a slightly translucent...

Review of Nivea Visage Oil-Free Moisturising Fluid

Definitely oil-free....

Advantages: goodbye shiny face
Disadvantages: price

...This is another product by Bobby Brown that I cannot live without. I suffer from oily t-zone, so it is very important for me to have a product that doesn't make me look like a "greasy frying pan". Most of the foundations I have tried look brilliant when just applied, but at after a few hours it's back to shiny face. However this oil-free foundation really works. It is easy to apply and absorbs quickly. It also lasts.. which is the main benefit. I bought it in Selfridges and the consultant helped me to choose the right shade (it was a great match). I am not sure actually whether it is still works on a hot day, because I tend to avoid foundation in the summer....

Bio Oil

Advantages: Reduces stretchmarks, uneven skin tone, scars etc
Disadvantages: A little bit expensive but worth it

...and blemishes. Bio Oil is oil based and has a gorgeous scent which is quite light and calming. The Bio Oil is quite runny and is fairly similar to baby oil; it is absorbed into your skin very quickly and doesn't leave it feeling greasy or sticky. Bio Oil contains natural ingredients and is preservative free, so it is a safe product for people with skin allergies to use. There are seven main ingredients in Bio Oil which help to treat skin blemishes and scar tissue and these are: * Vitamin A helps to improve the elasticity of the skin giving it a more even texture and tone. * Vitamin E helps to make your skin feel softer, smoother and supple. The Vitamin E also helps to keep your skin looking very healthy. * I have never heard of Calendula oil before but that is because it is most commonly referred to as Marigold. Calendula Oil or Marigold...

Review of Bio-Oil Face Cream

Burn Baby Burn- oil free inferno

Advantages: Keeps face shine free
Disadvantages: Doesn't take off make-up like it should

...-up expecting to see myself shining like I?d just been subjected to 5 hours at the gym, but no, still matte. Perhaps my glands weren?t feeling up to it today. So lessons 4 and 5 dragged on and dinnertime came, and still my face was shine free. After arriving home and changing, my face had the tiniest little glow to it, which I would expect after a whole day of school. But there?s always a catch isn?t there? On the back of the tube it says ?This daily cream wash removes dirt, oil ? even make-up.? Catch! If you wear mascara, eyeliner or heavy cream eyeshadow or foundation, then this won?t remove your make-up; you will just end up with panda eyes. If you don?t wear much make-up you should be fine. Right- all the usual boring stuff- This has quite bright packaging, with a purple and green tube, which is very vibrant and eye catching so it?s not...

Nivea Visage's Oil Free Moisturising Fluid

Advantages: No 'blotting' required before applying make up
Disadvantages: May not be enough for very dry skin

...As a relatively new user of Nivea Visage products I was drawn to this one by its description “For A Natural Shine Free Complexion”. Added to the fact it boasts Vitamin E & UV Filters, to help reduce the signs of ageing. I thought it sounded worth a try. I doubt I’ll try another moisturiser again because I loved it. Being relatively inexpensive, compared to other moisturisers, it gives instant moisture to the skin, using Allantoin and Witch Hazel. It goes a long way and you can feel the refreshing and moisturising benefits straight away. I was also pleasantly surprised at how quickly it was absorbed. Previous moisturisers I have used have either needed time to ‘soak in’ or blotting with a tissue before applying make up, but with this I can apply make up straight away. As for the “Natural...

Olbas Oil

Advantages: Cheap, seems to be working
Disadvantages: None

...It?s that time of year again, cold and flu season and unfortunately I have caught my husband?s man flu. I wrote last week how I bought him some tissues with Olbas oil in them and that I was looking after him through his illness. Well I, unlike him, and not on my death bed and do not need constant care, as all men do with man flu but I do need something to sort out my blocked nose. It?s so infuriating when you cannot breathe and so I really needed something that would unblock my stuffy nose. I have always used Vicks in the past but had heard that Olbas Oil might be a little bit stronger and after using the tissues the other week could definitely smell them and recommended them for unblocking noses so I decided to give the ordinary Olbas Oil a try. Olbas oil is an inhalant decongestant. According to their website Olbas is a special...

Review of Olbas Oil Inhalant Decongestant

Bio Oil

Advantages: Gives the skin a smooth even appearance.
Disadvantages: None really, perhaps a bit too greasy if you put too much on.

...I decided to try Bio-Oil after spending lots of money on other products to try and eradicate the blemishes and uneven skin tone on my face. After a week of using Bio-Oil I could see a difference in my skin ton, brightness, and also the smoothness of my skin. It also helped to smooth out wrinkles under my eyes, an area which I have tried many products on and none of them have made a difference. It also helped smooth the appearance of visible pores around my nose are. As long as you don't use too much it is not greasy ans sinks in straight away. I now use it everyday and would not buy anything else. I have also found that although it seems quite a small bottle, it has lasted me weeks as you do not need to use very much at all....

Review of Bio-Oil Face Cream

Clean and clear oil free deep cleansing cream wash

Advantages: no spots,refreshing feeling after wash,moisturising,cleansing,antibacterial
Disadvantages: a bit costly

...As an adolescent,most of us have to face up with pimples,acnes and them spots on our nose or cheeks.No matter how much we spend time in the gym,sweating to open up them pores,we still find them coming back...such were reviews I always came across verbally and when reading through reviews and articles. Well as an individual who at one time of my life had to live up and face up with spots,I had a try at the Johnson & Johnson oil-free deep cleansing cream wash.It had several benefits and still does.First of it does have a nice and long lasting effect,though many of you may not agree on this with me,but depending on the time of the day you use it and remain active(if not sleep),you do feel your skin cooler and I believe it's cooler coz the pores are open and breathe better. Credits The cream is multifunctional with it's cleansing...

Review of Clean & Clear Oil-Free Foaming Facial Cleaner

One Oil for Everything...

Advantages: It works really well, is versatile
Disadvantages: Seems like an expensive buy..but you realise it's worth it

...At the age of 19, I am not too worried about aging skin, but like a lot of people my age I have been left with the odd stretchmark and some scars from spots. It's the spot-scars that paricularly bother me, as they are on my face and some were quite red and didnt seem to be fading. I saw an advert for Bio-Oil in a magazine and casually thought I might give it a try. I forgot about it for a while, and then, on spotting it on the shelf on my next Boots visit, I thought 'Why not?' I think I paid £8.49 for my 60ml bottle, which sounds a lot, but it does, as I had expected, last for a long time. I've had my bottle for 3-4 months of almost daily use now, and I'd say I've got about another month's use in there yet. Reading through some of the other Bio-Oil reviews the other day, my attention was brought to a website called Mulipharmacy...
