I have fine hair that's oily at the roots and dry ends and I love this shampoo: Pros: - doesn't contain SLS - to those who complain about poor lathering/foaming - the ingredient that does the trick is SLS - harsh, possibly carcinogenic, causes inflammation and irritation, so not good if you have sensitive/ dry scalp or even back acne! I choose healthy skin/body over super foaming products! - doesn't leave my hair dry or over-moisturized like other products do - keeps my roots less oily for longer than other shampoos - smells great - very reasonably priced, especially on sale - cruelty free :) - bottles are made from rPET, 100% pre-used, recycled material that also still recyclable - care for the environment :) Cons: - none

I've recently bought Essano Vitamin C Brightening Radiant Skincare Pack with 4 mini products in it - and I really love all the products! This serum is nice and non-sticky, easily absorbs and has a fresh vitamin C scent. It is too early to say if the results are there, but I'm planning on using it in my daily routine and might post an update at some stage later. I love NZ made products and that Essano is cruelty free as well! The price is very reasonable and you can always find it on promotion in store.

I've tried this cream couple of times on my hands before bed - the feeling I got is like I covered my hands with wax, which is exactly what this cream contains, but not even the good kind... Contains liquid paraffin (paraffinum liquidum) is a petroleum derivative - horrible stuff for your skin & your health.... After I've read the ingredients it went straight in the bin. The soft sensation - is just and illusion created by the wax, it does not actually moisturise or care for your skin at all. I would stay away from this product.

This is the worst brow product I've ever tried! Cons: - Medium Brown colour is ORANGE - brush is too big and doesn't define brows - too much product comes out of the tube - product is streaky, goopy and too pigmented like cheap paint Pros: - NONE at all I regret buying it (there was no tested at the time in store), now it's going straight to the bin. I don't know how this product ever passed any testing...

I really love this mascara! When I buy a new mascara I often feel dissapointed and not wanting to repurchase it, but not with this one!
Pros:
+ it comes in a big beautiful gold tube/container which just seem bigger and more luxurious than other brands
+ it has a very subtle high end mascara smell, no stinky weird smells here!
+ big lovely brush that separates & coats all my lushes with ease (and I'm usually a huge fan of curved brushes but this one still works great for me!), no clumps or spider ashes!
+ lasts all day, no smudging & no flaking
+ BEST PART - so easy to wash off with warm water or any micellar water / makeup remover - to me the ease of removing my mascara is now a very close second in importance when choosing a mascara (after the way it makes my lushes look)
Cons:
- I have not really found any negatives, personally I really like this mascara and apart from a higher price there are no negatives. Maybe the price tag - $48, it's a bit expensive!

I am amazed to see so many good reviews on this one! My cuticles are very dry and this oil doesn't do much for me and is not anywhere as easy to use as I thought it would be! Pros: - could help with an average normal/slightly dry cuticles - contains some good oils Cons: - not that well moisturising (my hand cream works better!) - doesn't get absorbed into the skin (even after massaging) - too thick, hard to apply - have to press really hard to get product to come out on the brush, then to much burst out making it messy - I HATE the FAKE WATERMELON SMELL! I will not buy it again.

I love this water - it removes makeup with ease, remove excess oil and leaves my skin refreshed and soft! The only possible con of this product is it's scent - so if you have a sensitive to scents skin it might not be suitable for you, although it is quite nice and subtle! Pros: - easily removes makeup - removes excess oil - leaves skin fresh and soft Cons: - scented Overall I love this product and will be buying it again!

I have combination skin, that's more oily in summer and this foundation makes me look too shiny pretty much straight away, so I would need to apply powder over the top, which I don't like doing in summer! Pros: - good packaging with the pump - good coverage, although I wouldn't call it Full coverage - easy to apply (with the brush) - doesn't slide or ends up patchy! - SPF 20 Cons: - feels sticky after application, but the feeling goes away after some time - makes oily skin areas look VERY SHINY! :S - shade True Ivory 103 for me needs a bit more yellow tone to it it looks a bit lifeless on me - it has quite a strong fragrance to it, which I think is unnecessary - it could be irritating for sensitive skin! Overall I think it's not too bad, especially if you have normal to dry skin. I think I could get away with it maybe in winter when my skin is a bit dryer. I will use it up but would have to apply with the powder on top. This foundation is definitely not even close to my favourite foundation MAC Studio Fix!

I love this mascara and ironically this is the first mascara I've ever tried, then I went through many more different mascaras but my 2000 calorie is always in my cosmetic bag now! It allows me (with my fine lashes) to achieve good length and curl while looking natural and not clumpy, but I can also keep applying it to create more dramatic look with extra volume!
