Whenever I have really dry skin I turn to this. It's thick and really delivers especially in winter. However I wouldn't use this every day and prefer something lighter for day to day use. The fragrance is a little potent too - not too keen on that Nivea smell.

If you disregard the stupidly small blush brush (no need!) this is a great product. Lasts absolutely ages and if you choose a nice bright colour you only need a little to go a long way. Looks very natural even on my very fair skin. Love it!

I use this all the time - it's the best I've found this side of the Atlantic for those on a budget (the best is Boots Natural Collection concecaler by the way). I find it too thick for under the eye but it's great for pimples and small blemishes. Definitely one to carry around in your handbag.

I don't have coloured brunette hair so I can't comment on whether or not it makes colour last longer... however I love the product for my regular light brown hair. It leaves it shiny and manageable. The relatively high price means I don't buy it as often as I would like (generally only when it's on sale!), and I find that you need a fair amount to make a good lather if you have long hair like mine. But I love the smella nd the way my hair feels afterwards. Definitely recommended.

I was soooooo excited to try this product after I saw all the publicity it got - just goes to show you should never be seduced by good advertising! I thought the lighter brown tones one would brighten up by light brown hair - and at the least, leave it shiny. However, after following the directions, standing shivering in the shower with the brown goo on my hair, rinsing it out and blow-drying it as usual, I ended up with lank, dirty-feeling hair with no visible improvement in shine, colour or texture. I still have most of the bottle sitting in my cupboard unused. I tried mixing it with my regular conditioner but all that did was make my regular conditioner bad! I love the Brilliant Brunette shampoo and conditioner so I'm going to stick to those.

I liked this product but ended up getting through it awfully quicky so I'd hesitate to recommend it as good value for money! It smells wonderful and the lather is silky soft - however, as it's liquid when it comes out it's easy to spill! You tend to need a fair squirt to make a good lather but it's worth it in the end as it cleans gently and efficiently - leaving you smelling delicious. Follow up with the deluxe moisturiser. Yum!

I havehis in vanilla. The fragrance is delicious and leaves skin soft and lightly scented. Not a heavy-duty moisturiser, but light and gentle enough to use consistently - leave a bottle at work for dry hands and a bottle by the bed for pre-bed moisturising - wake up smelling yummy!

I found this to be a good mascara with staying power. I tend to buy more mascaras than any other product as they always dry up and go clumpy at some point. I've tried plenty of different brands and I'm always excited by all the lash-lengthening and curling claims. I found this to be slightly better than average but not fantastic - I wasn't very impressed by the brush, which is a little scratchy, but the mascara itself coated my lashes well without much clumping. I probably won't buy it again.

I was given this as a present and was so grateful as I'd never usually have the money to buy a moisturiser this expensive! It's very reassuring to have an SPF 15 included and it's a lot nicer than many other SPF moisturisers, which I often find rather greasy. The lotion is lightweight and goes on easily, you don't need much for full coverage. Easy to wear under makeup too. The list of botanical ingredients makes me feel like it's good for my skin too. I would definitely buy this again if I had the money - I'll be sad when it runs out!

I love this product - I have the grey one. Really good for people who love to experiment with different looks. The two lighter shades are great for a daytime look and have a little sparkle too to use as highlighter for a nighttime look with the addition of the darker colours. The shadow is has a nice texture and is strongly pigmented and the applicator has an end for basic shadow application and a pointed end for more precise definition. Not a lot of each shade but the choice makes up for it.
