When I saw these in Sephora I was instantly smitten and bought them for all my friends for Christmas! They come in a really nice range of colours with a slight metallic sheen to them, which is subtle rather than full-on glittery. I have the grey one and it's really pretty against my grey eyes. I don't really like using it over the whole eyelid, as the blurb suggests, but it's nice used as a traditional liner and then blended in for a subtly glam look. I'm definitely going to stock up in a few more colours, including a couple of lighter ones for daytime. Bonus - only $6!

I thought I was really going to love this product. It's on the pricey side and from a company I'd always associated with hair expertise. Technically, it does what it's meant to - deliver a mega watt, 'superficial' shine. The problem is that it goes way overboard. I like that it comes in a spray bottle instead of drop form like other serums as I find it easier to distribute. I like the fragrance and the packaging. But even just one spritz is way too much and leaves hair overloaded and almost greasy from the shine. The only way I manage to make this product work for me is to spritz a tiny bit onto my hairbrush and then run it really lightly through my hair. Even then, you'll definitely need to wash your hair the next day! Maybe if you had dry, curly hair this would be a good product for you, but anyone with fine to regular hair should steer clear!

St. Ives Naturally Clear Blemish Fighting Apricot Cleanser
Soft, glowing skin without resorting to harsh methods!
I was already a fan of the St Ives Apricot Scrub when I tried this one out. I used to use the scrub two or three times a week, and use a regular cleanser the rest of the time. Now I just use this one - it's got little exfoliating microbeads in it which do the same job as the scrub but are gentler, meaning you can use it every day without drying your skin out. It leaves my skin smooth and really helps keep blemishes at bay, particularly in the winter. Smells nice too.

I'm always sceptical about shampoos and conditioners that have commercials with ridiculously shiny-haired models. Usually they're perfectly fine but leave me disappointed. However, even though my hair will never be as shiny as the Nutri Gloss Girl's, I have to admit to loving this shampoo & the matching conditioner. My hair is very long and gets tangled and dry easily - this shampoo left it soft, manageable and smelling delicious! A great buy and good value too.

I always have problems finding a great foundation due to my super-fair skin which still needs decent coverage to look flawless. This comes in a good range of shades including Porcelain Ivory which matches my skintone perfectly. The 'dual action' format is probably just a gimmick and not really necessary... however you do get that 'makeup pro' feeling when you blend it! I find it easy to apply, with a nice silky texture and it lasts ages. I'll keep buying this one. My one minor complaint would be that it's not always easy to get exactly the same amount of base and colour out at the same time - so you might end up running out of one before the other!
