I really enjoy these as they are easy and simple to use. I do prefer if they had more moisture though, as it doesn't feel like I can remove my makeup completely before it dries up. As a result, I always cleanse my face after I use this wipe to get all the dirt and makeup from my face. I do feel like my face can get a bit tight, though.. As a result, I prefer to always moisturise after using this. There isn't much to say about this. It does what it is supposed to do but there could be some minor improvements as I feel like this is the same as the normal baby wipes that I use.

My skin type is normal. Can be dry at times, can also be oily at times. My skin did not work well with the original and I have no idea why (the colours were also VERY pink toned) This product is targeted for combination to oily skin. While this mattifies quite well and is perfect for summer, it can be quite drying and the colours are not quite right. The colours are lighter than the original but it is hard to match it to my yellow toned skin. I have to blend it as much as possible (and really that means, I spread the product until it was my own skin again...) I do agree that this product is better than the original but the colours are not universal.
I do like the texture at the end of this, though. Still, this product could be improved upon.

I like to do a lot of research into a product so that I do not get disappointed with what I purchase (that's also part of the joy in finding a new product and reading about loads of different thing). With this foundation, I did extensive reading, looking at reviews, swatching this on my hand, returning to the store on a different day, picking my colour, returning again to apply it all over myself and seeing the appearance of it out of doors... - trust me when I say extensive, I mean extensive in every regard. I uhmmed and ahhed for two months before I purchased this. I have to say, I am not disappointed and this has jumped to holy grail status. The finish is satiny, demi-matte, similar to that of Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua (which I save for special occasions). I have combination to normal skin at the moment (it can range to combination oily at times! How temperamental skin can be...) and I find that it lasts for 8 hours, a whole day. I apply this at 9.00 am and it is still there at 6.00pm when I am home. I do apply powder in my t zone area and to set where I have put concealer but I don't do any touch ups throughout the day. I find this foundation does even my skin tone very well and has quite good coverage, light to medium as it is buildable and cover my redness well. I like how the shade I have (52) helps even the redness in my skin. I think this may be due to the yellow tones in the foundation which helps counteract this redness. As I have said, I enjoy using this, even when in a rush. Pump out the amount you need (I use half a pump) to go all about your face and then maybe a bit more to go over areas you need more coverage. This foundation is very easy to apply whether it is with fingers or brush. Overall, I am looking forward to finishing this bottle and buying more. I am interested in trying the serum version of this as well.

I like the idea of this tinted daywear but in the end, I did not like this product at all I received a sample of this from their Facebook page and am glad that I had a sample to try before I decided to purchase it as this was thick and orange. I selected a sachet of light and found that it was way too dark!
It was hard to spread and blend - I really can't see why I would want to put it on my face!
Once on, it was thick and cloying and I felt very uncomfortable and had to remove it.
The colour match was awful as well - there is no way the light section would be for anyone paler than me! All in all, this product requires a lot more improvements..

I actually used it. Honestly, I thought it had super cute packaging, and I gotta admit, I ignored the hype around this product and bought it because it would look goo din my pencil case so I can use it at uni. I have to say that I am quite surprised at how great it works. It smells yum - I get compliments about this from others and it gives a nice shiny look. It doesn't have great lasting power but when it is gone, my lips are soft and supple. I really enjoy this product and am using it far too quickly!

I love this bronzer with all my heart and use it almost everyday. Ive hardly made a dent in it after a year! My mum bought it for me in a pack with other Mac products but the bronzer has got to be my favourite out of all of them. It looks beautiful in the pan with golden flecks of shimmer. I was afraid it would be too shimmery but when brushed on the face to contour, you can hardly notice it which is great. I love using this to contour as it works well.
I love that this product can be layered on so that it can be subtle or dramatic. I also sometimes use this on my lids for a light wash of bronzey natural colour.

Aaah, okay, I just.. I don't have anything bad to say about this, it is perfect!
Neutrogena has to be my favourite brand ever for anything skin care related. It is the one brand that my dermatologist recommended to me for my acne-prone skin. I have been meaning to try the Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Daily Face Sunscreen Lotion for a year but never got round to buying it. Why? Because I was skeptical. A sunscreen that provides a matte finish that is light weight and oil free? Puh-leeaase, I've heard that one before.. But omgsh, I should never have doubted Neutrogena because this stuff is amazing! I finally tried it when my mum received this in the 30ml. I begged to have it (they wouldn't use it anyway...) and have been using it pretty much everyday since! It definitely does what it says. It's lightweight, matte, soft, very easy to apply and while the smell might tick some people off, I think it's comforting. In the strong sun, I have not burned since which is great and I will be purchasing the full bottle sized of this soon.

I didn't like how this is marketed as a BB cream because it didn't have any of the healing properties that make a BB cream a BB cream. It just felt like a heavy tinted moisturiser and can get very oily and slide in the heat so I wouldn't recommend this to oily skin (I have combination and have problems at my T-zone). I will start with the positives of this cream. The fragrance was nice and much more easily blendable than the Nivea tinted moisturiser. I purchased this in medium and unfortunately, found that it was too orange and dark for my skin colour. Maybe light would have been better but when swatched, I thought it would be too light and sheer. The medium colour made me look a bit muddy and in the heat, I could feel it was there, which I dislike. I purchased a 15ml Skin79 Hot Pink BB cream. At first, when we were coming out of winter, the colour was perfect but as spring came through and now summer, my face became tanner. I was able to use this BB cream to darken it and I liked how wonderfully well that works!

I didn't like this product at all.
Yes, it lengthened and volumised my extremely short thing lashes but it smudges. My upper lash line is tucked under my eyelids because I have monolids. And when I laugh, smile, cry, this waterproof mascara smudges, giving me raccoon eyes.
It takes forever to get this off and I feel like it makes my lashes really brittle. I don't like the packaging or the brush either.
You get a lot of product but I find that at first, the formula is just too wet. It's hard to control the brush because it's so big. I find that I end up getting mascara on my lids when I apply this and it doesn't reach all of my lashes. Maybe I'm incompetent at applying mascara, but I really don't like this product. There is just too much hassle for "eh" lash volume and length.

I'm not one to spend too much money but I wanted the right tools to allow me to apply makeup. When I came across this, I thought it was good but I was very surprised at how amazingly soft the brushes are! I use the eyeliner brush the most and I love the blush brush as it applies it nice and even. The only thing I don't like so much is the eye shadow brush. It's nice and soft but it hardly picks up any colour and I have to really pat it on to get the shadow on my lids. Still, this set is great, and I have washed them a few times and they don't shed!
Great, and I love the roll it has.
