Here are all my reviews:

I used to love using this Mango one in summer because the scent was refreshing and yummy. But I found a even better scent - Satsuma Orange body butter (btw, the Body Shop Satsuma entire line is amazing, and it has the realistic orange scent!). However, for the performance, I agree with another reviewer; I also prefer their Cocoa Butter body butter because the consistency is richer and it lasts longer. The Mango body butter is still nice, but not too special compared to the Satsuma scent. If I had to choose this specific body butter and Boots' body butter, I may pick Boots' because of their lower price.

I usually prefer peel-off mask to clay mask, but this one and Dermalogica Clearing Masque are exceptions. It looks slightly like a mud mask, but the consistency is thiner than some mud masks I have used. It dries pretty quick, and absorbs oil very well. After washing it off, my skin feels cleaner and smooth. This is a wonderful deep cleansing mask for my acne prone skin. It is as effective as Dermalogica Clearing Masque, but this one is much cheaper! Love it!

I have been coloring my hair for many years, oftentimes at home, sometime at salons. One thing I love about Feria is their color selection. Even just for brown shade there are many to choose from. I used the Espresso shade first, but it was a bit darker than I wanted. So I changed to the Havana Brown, which has a bit lighter brown color. It has a chemical smell just like many at-home hair coloring system, but nothing I cannot stand. The application is a bit messy, and I have to wait 25 min. I love the color but the formula seemed to be somewhat harsh for my hair, and unfortunately, next few days I am not supposed to use an intensive treatment (because it would rip the color). Also, if you have long and thick hair like mine, one box may not be enough.

I had never heard of the company until my friend told me about it. This top coat is amazing. It makes a mediocre nail polish shiny, strong and vivid in color. It dries very fast! Unfortunately, it has an awful smell. Also, yeah, I wish it was more affordable, but I can buy this and reduce my trips to a nail salon.

I needed a waterproof eyeliner. This Urban Decay 24/7 pencil, as promised, glided smoothly, and gave great deep dark black color. However, it was just too soft to work accurately for my waterline, and it smudged after a while. It was too expensive for the disappointing performance.

This yellow concealer seems to agree with my skin tone, and covers my dark circles pretty good (with a good liquid foundation). But it is very hard to blend the thick paste-like consistency. Also, since it is not very moisturizing, in winter this creases and cakes, and makes under eye area very dry (I don't even have dry skin!). BTW, it does not work effectively with loose powder foundation for my skin. I think this product need some improvements.

These wax strips are convenient and easy to use (no need to microwave), and remove some fine facial hairs fairly good (but still painful). BUT I have one big complain - I don't understand why the strips for eyebrows are not shaped like eyebrows.

I had this a few years ago. I usually don't throw away a skin care/makeup product, but I remember I tossed it away this one. The smell and taste were nasty, and it was as good as applying a grease on my lips directly. Also I disliked the package. Each time I squeezed, too much gooey stuff came out. I stick with soothing Burt's Bee lip balm or Origins lip remedy.

Unlike many tacky lip glosses, Mac's Cremesheen gloss does not feel sticky. Boy Bait is my favorite color, it has nice peachy/nude color. It is sheer but it gives a natural and healthy color on my lips. The creamy texture is moisturizing.

I was told that some women wash their faces with this brush DAILY, but I would not use it everyday. The brush is soft to the touch, but feels still rough for my facial skin. I found out that it works better with DHC Deep Cleasing Oil. My skin feels smoother after massaging with this brush, but again I would not use it more than once a week. What I also noticed about this brush is that it does not get as dirty as cheap plastic brushes that I used some time ago.
