Tresemme is always great

The Fragrance: It smells very light but very fresh, like you've just washed your hair, so it's great for second-day hair.

The hold: It holds very well without making your hair look like a crispy fry. It even holds curls e.t.c. for the entire day

The consistency: It comes out in a mousse form and disappears into a small liquid if you rub it in between your palms

The packaging: It is a mousse-dispenser which you just press down to dispense the mousse, so it is easy to use. I find that the sleek design of the bottle alongside the dispenser makes it easy to apply with wet hands, which is great because it doesn't slip e.t.c

I'd definitely repurchase

The holy grail

Vaseline is like water. There's no argument or thought behind buying the product: you just do. You have to buy it, because it just feels natural.

And that's because it's probably the greatest multitasker known to man kind

And i know people will sit there and say 'oh you get cancer, it's petroleum, you're putting oil on your face, blah blah blah', but it's made my face look amazing and my mother, who is over 50 years old now, has been using it since she was young and i am honest to god when i say : she has one wrinkle on her face (just in between her eyebrows). That's it. That's the only wrinkle she has. She doesn't use any special products - just soap and vaseline. Soap to cleanse her face and vaseline to moisturise it. Soap is drying, yes, but this isn't about soap.

Now here is what i use vaseline for: Moisturiser Rash cream Hand cream Foot cream Elbow softner Eyelash nourisher Lipbalm Highlighter Under-eye-bag-remover Protection from dyes e.t.c. mixed with sugar for lipscrub Burn healer Teeth-gap-filler (a lot of beauty pageant models use this trick) Skin protector from mascara stains e.t.c. Make-up remover (Even waterproof eye make-up)

Just... Just anything you can think of - Vaseline can be used for it! So really, life without Vaseline is not much of a life. Pick it up!

You'll can party all night like an immortal with this!

Ooh girl you haven't tried lipstains until you try this! For maximum stain, avoid the lipbalm. Make sure to exfoliate your lips before application so that the product glides on smoothly, but make sure not to use a lipbalm as it will reduce the wear power. I - a lover of lipstick but hater of re-application - am always on the lookout for something that will keep my lip colour without having to re-apply. And so lipstains are great for this. And honestly, the only other competitor to this that i've found is the 24 hour lipstain. But for the price of this lipstain, i'd definitely re-purchase this. The lipbalm itself is very moisturising so use it on it's own if you want, but the lipstain provides high pigmentation and the colour richness is very grand.

I just can't say enough good things about this product, so make sure to pick it up!

A savvy buy!

For such a cheap price, this lipstick really is great! It doesn't break up on your lips or separate, and the formulation is actually quite creamy. It lasts for over 4 hours, actually, but the colour does fade after about 2 hours - especially if you have any food or drink. The lips MAY look dry ONLY if they're not moisturised already! Yes, i'm talking to you ladies - the ones that seemingly forget to exfoliate their lips or use a chap stick! If you have already moisturised lips, this will not dry them out.

I'd definitely re-purchase. The colour pay off is really great too! It's very pigmented and doesn't over power your lips.

I like the packaging. It's great

As a sheercover junkie, i order many different packages from there. Recently i ordered the package that contained this. There are great colours for contouring and highlighting and is a great little palette for everyday to slip into your purse for touch-ups. It comes with a mirror and also has colours that can be adapted for a night-time look. Yay for the multi-tasking products!

The colour pigmentation is very high and the colour pay-off on your face is great! It is true to the colour in the palette and lasts a long time, even without a primer. They are very neutral colour which suit everyone and the lipglosses are creamy but not sticky and last a long time. No more 'hair stuck to lip' look when you walk past a good looking guy, oh no. This lipgloss will have your lips hair-free and looking pouty.

It also comes with a brush! Oh those thoughtful people of sheercover! So no need to go buying expensive brushes because this is an all over package.

In general, it's a great little palette to have. So if you're looking for something simple to use day and night and not have the hassle of towing around a make-up cart, pick this up.

I'll start by saying i'm a Sheercover fanatic. No honestly, i've got posters of Sheercover make-up put all over my walls in my room. Well not really, but my entire everyday make-up routine consists of Sheercover make-up. It's just so darn great.

Let's just get this 'product info' straight, shall we?

Conditions lashes: well, i've not really noticed any conditioning aspect but it hasn't dried out my lashes or ruined them, so there must be some truth to that. Adds volume: Yes, it most definitely does. Straight from the first stroke, you can see a big difference. I've used up many tubes of this mascara and it's never disappointed me. Non clumping: To a certain extent, this is true. No, it doesn't clump AS MUCH as most mascaras, but after a few coats, it does clump up. On the first two coats, however, there is no clumping. Which is pretty great for any mascara. Smudge proof: To my knowledge, yes. It doesn't melt in the heat and it doesn't smudge anywhere and dries pretty quickly so honestly it doesn't have the TIME to smudge. So yes, this is true.

As far as my experience: i think that this is a great product to add into the package that you receive with Sheercover. I usually order packages of Sheercover so i'm not sure whether you can get the product individually, but if you ever need a mascara in an emergency - try this one out. It hasn't caused any allergies to anyone in my knowledge.

I'm thinking about this mascara in the context of mineral make-up. If i take it outside of the 'mineral' world and compare it to other mascaras like drugstore and high end, it doesn't quite match up. Most likely because this product is made of GOOD ingredients like panthenol and ceramides, whereas other mascaras have the worst ingredients in them, which make them great. As far as mascaras in drugstore (Which are my favourite), Sheercover mascara is no match.

BUT you will not be disappointed if you do decide to buy this product! Oh, why not buy something that'll be GOOD for your lashes? Give your lashes a break and buy this mascara for them. Because if you don't give your lashes a break, they WILL break. Comprende amigos?

Good luck make-up lovers

THE MOTHER SHIP OF ALL POWDERS IN EXISTENCE

If i told you this product was made by the almighty lord himself, it still wouldn't do it justice. As a fan of natural beauty, i've had many gruelling years of running through every product on the make-up counter to try to find a product that will be my holy grail. Everything from foundations to lipbalms have been put to the test and i've not just gone in store - i've ordered online and even travelled to other countries to get products. Then along came Sheercover. Oh good old Sheercover.

If i tried writing a review about how much i am incredibly and undoubtedly in love with this product, i wouldn't be able to finish today. So instead i'll break it down into the information you guys need to know.

firstly, it's a mineral powder. Why are mineral powders better? Well - they're the only make-up in the whole universe that's actually BENEFICIAL for your face! Depending on the mineral powder you get, it will lighten scars and blemishes, improve skin tone and clarify your face. There's a reason that Sheercover is most likely the most famous mineral powder. Because there is nothing better than it!

Now, who can use mineral powder? Just about everyone. It's generally useful for older people as it fills in wrinkles and reflects light away from them to make older people younger. And it provides quite good coverage but looks light on your face and as if you're not wearing anything! Every person that has heard that i wear powder is shocked, because none of them can tell that i wear it!

How easy is it to use? Pretty darn easy. Grab yourself a kabuki brush or a buffing brush and buff it like there's no tomorrow. There's no particular skill but the buffing part is ESSENTIAL so familiarize yourself with what is known in the make-up world as a kabuki brush.

Now onto Sheercover:

Colour availability: Alas, the colours are only available in a trio: Light, medium and dark. However, each pack of sheercover comes with two mineral powders – one light and one dark – so that you can mix them to create the perfect shade. Also, you can use the lighter one to highlight and the darker one to contour. So by being given two powders, you've been given a variety of colours.

Texture: It's a very very very finely milled powder. The smaller the powder particles are, the better the mineral powder is. It also is small enough to fill up your pores to create a flawless canvas on your face, WITHOUT clogging them! It's very soft and you can turn it into a pressed powder very easily just by pressing it

Packaging: Well you have to buy a set. That's the only bad thing. I usually order every one or two months, depending on how quick things run out. But i've lasted for 6 months once with just one set of Sheercover! Now you get different sets. The one i received has two powders, a duo concealer, a small palette with a gel eyeliner, a few cream shadows and lipglosses and highlighters; a mascara and a cleanser. Which is pretty great, for around £50, depending on which you get. You also get a fillable brush which is specially designed to buff in your mineral powder, but also has a compartment which you fill with the powder, so that you can just take the brush with you and it dispenses the product for you! Can i get a hooray for two in one products?

Effectiveness: Ah the most important aspect. Well, it's pretty darn great. I've rattled on about it for quite a while now and if you still aren't convinced about ordering it, you are a little insane. It is, no doubt, the greatest mineral powder i've used. It just makes you look like a more enhanced and beautiful version of yourself. It gives you the coverage & confidence but not the cake. Now if my amazing alliteration hasn't convinced you yet (coverage, confidence, cake), then i don't know what will.

Is it expensive? Yes Is it worth the money? Definitely

Best of all, you just can't go wrong with mineral powders! It's just the greatest product ever and you'll be building statues of me when you order this and figure out how great it is, to honour my input into your make-up world. Have fun being beautiful

Clinique hasn't disappointed !

I'm a huge fan of mineral make-up and this didn't fail to impress. I love the dispenser of this product as you can control it very well and it grinds the product as you dispense it. It's also quite large and well worth the money. It mattifies dry areas and provides flawless and full coverage. Definitely a re-purchase product

pretty friekalickin great

It smells incredible and is very soft and velvety on your face. It is good for using as an all over powder on your face to dry up any oil and set your make-up, and is great to use as a dry shampoo. I also like to pat this lightly onto my face before buffing away with a powder brush to give my face a subtle fragrance.

A-Ok

This definitely does lighten scars, and reduces blemishes. I used up the entire bottle to see what the effects were. Overall, the effects weren't too drastic, but it did make a difference. I think this'd be a great 'supplement' in lightening scars e.g. using this product alongside others to tackle scars. It does do what it says on the bottle, but it's not amazing. It absorbs into the skin well and despite it being an oil - it doesn't make your face oily. I like to use this all over my face at night to tone my face.
