Olay revitalizing eye gel

Rating: 9/10

This product is very hydrating, fragrance free and soothing. I had very dry skin lately under my eyes (due to eye shadow allergies) and this is one of the products that that didn't irritate my eyes and hydrated the area well.
Cannot quite comment on the depuff properties but its very good at moisturising.

Bourjois 123 foundation

Rating: 9/10

I have brought two shades (shade 51 and shade 53). The consistency is quite watery and easy to blend and is a recommended product from our school.
It is fairly inexpensive for a foundation $208 and it says to also correct pigments and imperfections (anti-dark circles, anti dull complexion and anti-redness.

shocking pink lips - bridal?

Rating: 5/10   -about $85

  Great colour, smooth application, long lasting BUT.... i saw pieces of small metal stuck inside the lipstick and this brand is not well known.

Will not repurchase again

This colour is just great for bridal/day makeup. It looks very pinky and fresh after application.

hypoallergenic eyeshadow - i.e.clinique review

Rating: pending

Ok so recently after taking my beauty course that i realise that i am allergic to eye shadow. My eye lid is swollen and got a red rash on it since application. So i did a bit of research into hypoallergenic eye shadows that i thought I would like to share.
From what i understand we get allergic reactions from certain chemicals from certain products so I was told to test out every eye shadow on the eye until you get to a product that doesn't irritate.
Please also consider that you may also be allergic to eye creams or makeup removers.
For people with sensitive skin it is advised to use mineral shadows because they are said to contain LESS harmful products and more natural. Products which are hypoallegenic should state on the packaging but even if stated, it doesn't nessary mean you won't get an allergic reaction from the chemicals in the mineral shadow, so you will still have to try it out.

I've researched a couple of brands which are hypo-allergenic and have worked for people:

Highly recommended:
-Clinique
-Bare Minerals
-Almay
-Physical Formula
-Bee Luscious

Others:
-Lorac
Josie Maran
-Nicole Miller
-Tarte
-Jane Iredale
-Origins
-Avon
Bella Pierre
-Mary Kate?
-Paila's choice

Sofina cleanser - lathers so much

Rating:8/10

This face wash is soooo fun to play with lol and long lasting because only a little can cause alot of foaming. But yes I think it cleanses the face quite well, its light and most of all fun.
Give it a try.

B&C brow pencil/ink

Rating: 7/10

LH: PENCIL RH:LIQUID

I like the idea that this has two ends to the pencil which makes it compact ^^.
The colour itself is slightly dark for my liking but it is fairly waterproof and long lasting ^^ I rarely use the liquid end though because the line seems too solid.

La mer (2nd post) Cream

Rating:4/5

This is my 2nd purchase from la mer but instead of the gel version (reviewed previously) I decided to go for the original version this time. This moisturiser is a secret weapon for a makeup artist in times of emergency and an amazing moisturiser for personal use.
as you can see from the pics it comes with a spatula for hygiene reasons and unlike normal creams you would need to rub the cream first to warm it up before lightly patting it on the face.
I saw really good results from this immediately when i suffered from an eye rash.
Its understandable why some people dont like the thickness though but it smells lovely

Shu Uemura- cleansing oil

Rating: 7/10

Shu Uemura is most well known for their cleansing oil. However from my understanding this oil is pretty expensive to buy ( it is quite a big bottle though) this product is said even remove waterproof make-up.
From thier website it says it brings the following benefits:

camellia oil renown for centuries in japan for nutritive & restorative properties. rich in oleic acids and known for anti-oxidative properties

ginger root extract oil extracted from ginger root. native to asia and used since ancient times for herbal traditions

depsea water found in the deep sea below depths of 200 meters. naturally provides moisture to skin, and helps to enhance skin transparency and improve skin quality

advanced hpo system new generation hpo system. optimal association of 4 different types of oils unique to shu uemura. further improved to dissolve waterproof and long-lasting make-up

Ok now my thoughts on this, it removes waterproof makeup pretty well but not completely (I have to apply twice before it goes away), and I really don't like the oily texture of this but wouldn't say it is very oily for an oil. So yeah I would say it does its job.
