I was recently sent the L'Oreal Midnight Cream, and I must say, it has become an essential part of my nighttime skincare routine. This luxurious cream is specifically formulated to work its magic while you sleep, providing intense nourishment and restoration for a radiant complexion.

It has a rich and velvety texture. The cream glides smoothly onto the skin, it feels indulgent and luxurious, making the application process a delightful experience. Despite its rich consistency, it doesn't feel heavy or greasy on the skin, which is a definite plus.

The L'Oreal Midnight Cream has helped to improve the texture of my skin. It has a smoothing effect, reducing the appearance of fine lines and unevenness. When I wake up in the morning, my skin feels refreshed and rejuvenated, as if it has undergone a mini spa treatment overnight. This cream truly delivers on its promise of restoring and revitalizing the complexion.

One minor drawback of this product is the fragrance. While it has a pleasant scent that many people may enjoy, it might be a bit overpowering for those with sensitivity to fragrance. However, the fragrance dissipates quickly after application, so it didn't bother me personally.

In terms of packaging, the L'Oreal Midnight Cream comes in a sleek and sturdy jar. The packaging is aesthetically pleasing and functional, allowing for easy access to the cream. However, I would have preferred a pump or tube packaging to minimize exposure to air and maintain the product's freshness, but it does look lovely.

I love the Midnight Serum, these two together are a powerhouse!

Overall, the L'Oreal Midnight Cream has impressed me with its ability to nourish and restore my skin while I sleep. Its rich texture, hydrating properties, and ability to revitalize the complexion make it a reliable choice for those seeking a radiant and well-rested look. If you're in search of a nighttime cream that provides intense moisturization and a rejuvenated glow, the L'Oreal Midnight Cream is definitely worth considering.

After hearing so many great things about this foundation I decided to give it a go. $13 for a foundation is so awesome, but to be honest I didn't have high hopes at first. I don't really love the little applicator wand, I don't use it at all.

It comes in a sturdy glass bottle, I got the lightest shade and find it is not a bad match for my fair skin. I have dry skin and if I don't exfoliate first and prep my skin well it definitely clings to my dry patches.

It is nice and lightweight and does not cake on me, it lasts all day on me and doesn't oxidize at all. It looks pretty good at the end of the day, I really hate having to touch up my foundation during the day so I generally never do this. It does however have an odd paint smell, it doesn't hang around long but I find it unpleasant.

Photo wise it is pretty great, I don't take a lot of pics but on a girls night out I wore this and the pics looked really great! So a definite thumbs up for that. I do really like this foundation but think my skin may be too dry so really need a hydrating foundation. Definitely give it a go and see if it suits your skin.

I got my hands on a black version of this when I purchased Kat Von D's foundation and was really excited to try it!

I used this until the day it died and I mean, died died! I really loved this, and I thought "how hard can it be to make a sponge" and I purchased another brand which was terrible!

The Beautyblender definitely has the right consistency to work well with all types of foundation, concealer and powders, my only downfall is the price of it—it's just so expensive! I'm not sure if I'll repurchase it, I think I'll keep trying my luck to find a dupe that works for me.

I was skeptical when I was introduced to this product. I thought how can an oil be so protective from the sun? But I was pleasantly surprised! Not only is it a great sun screen it provides all day moisture, with a glow to my skin I get compliments for. It’s perfect for all skin types. Even my daughter with chronic eczema uses it.

This amazingly beautiful goodie bag got gifted to me right before I was going for a travel. I would say it's a perfect gift for any occasion or can be used as a beauty treat for your own self if someone likes to try the mini sizes before buying the full product. I greatly like this concept of Oasis Beauty Skin Care Goodie Bag to try their skin care range. Plus the cute bag is additional benefit which I use to keep my make up products in the hand bag. I like the full skin care range of Oasis Beauty specially the Sun screens and Apple a Day moisturiser. It is such an awesome way to try 8 skin care products at a reasonable cost.

I'd always been a petroleum jelly user but it could never save my lips from the dry weather here in NZ. I've tried other brands but they never worked out - Burt's Bees gave me allergies, and most other brands I tried left a thick layer of balm on my lips that didn't feel too natural. I only tried the Hurraw! lip balm after it was recommended by my sister and I have to say it really worked like magic. The dry patches were gone the next day! I've been using it ever since to keep my lips hydrated and prevent any dry patches. This is particularly important as I wear liquid lippies most of the time.

I use the unscented lip balm in the morning and the blue chamomile vanilla moon balm in the evening. I've kept this regimen for half a year now and have had no problems whatsoever. The evening balm has a light vanilla smell which I really love as my nose is quite sensitive with strong scents. It absorbs really well in the lips - doesn't take more than a few minutes - so you're not left feeling really greasy at night or having troubles applying lipstick in the morning. This regimen works well even with my regular use of liquid lipsticks.

I'm so happy I discovered this product. I will definitely keep repurchasing!

Confession time! I love matte lipsticks mainly because... i’m lazy! I can’t be bothered doing the top up every 5 minutes so me and gloss just don’t talk at all.

Trouble is with many liquid lip paints/sticks you get that ‘bah bah bah’ feeling when you rub your lips together, you know when they’re super dry (a bit like the roof of your mouth the next morning after too much wine!), so I set out to give this baby the ‘bah bah’ test.

I chose the colour “dreamer” which is a lovely nude pinky shade. The product has a sponge applicator which I liked (rather than a brush) and one dip gave good coverage and it went on really easily.

It dries in about 60 seconds and, here’s the crunch... (wait for it), it literally didn’t come off for 8 hours! I am NOT kidding you! No fade from the edge of your lips leaving you with a bath like ring around your mouth. I gymed, it lunched it, and drank coke’d it and it didn’t budge much from the initial application!!

What is this witchery?

And did it pass the ‘bah bah bah’ test? (Actually i’ve got it on as i’m reviewing it). You betcha it did! So it’s a big fat 5 from me!

I am light/fair skinned, it is usually dry and I get occasional dry and flaky patches.

I got the colour 202 Creamy Natural and although it was the best colour match (after checking out the colour range at Farmers), I found that this shade looked slightly grey after applying it on to my face. However, after applying concealer and bronzer, the greyness was less noticeable.

The formula was very runny and blended well into my skin. The packaging recommends using a rolling motion so I tried using my fingers, and a damp beauty blender and found that a damp beauty blender worked the best for me as it gave the most natural and even finish and also dries to the touch. The coverage is buildable but I'd say more towards the light end.

On the skin, the foundation felt very light, which I really liked. The finish to look quite dewy and natural. It isn't quite highlighter-level glow but nice for everyday use. I found that because my skin can be quite dry, I could get away with not using a setting powder and/or setting spray but using them helped a the foundation last a bit longer throughout the day. I can't be sure if it would last 24 hours, but for a normal 8-10 hour day, it held up for me.

In terms of its hydrating effect, I still found that I preferred to wear a light moisturiser underneath. I had a dry patch on my cheek while testing this and I was very impressed that it did not emphasise the flakiness, especially after applying and setting my make up. At the end of my day, the area did start to get a little dry but overall, I couldn't really tell. I also haven't had any issues with breakouts so far.

The packaging nice and simple, the bottle is nice and slim. The bottle says to shake well but because the formula is so runny, it does tend to leak out into the lid - regardless of whether it is shaken or not, so that when you open the lid the end is is covered in foundation. This means it can be a little messy if left on the table with the lid off.

The title says it all really. I trialled L'Oreal Paris Infallible Pro-Glow Foundation for a week now. It certainly is lightweight in that it is very runny and I really wondered how long a tube would last. Not a good sign, as this foundation is well over my normal budget. I found that my skin dried out when using this foundation. Considering the product claims to hydrate and is for normal to dry skin, I couldn't work out why this could be. Maybe it wasn't a thick enough coverage? Tick that it has a spf component. But I will not purchasing.

This LA Girl concealer isn't a bad product but it's far from my favourite.

On the good side, it comes in a range of shades, it's really cheap and it's quite bendable.

A strange thing about it is the brush it comes with. It seems really weird so the first time I bought it i pulled the brush out but was also a bit weird because the opening of the tube is so wide. With the second tube I had I left the brush on. I actually got used to the brush and now I don't mind it.

On the downside I find that this settles in my fine lines and creases under my eyes. I put it on and set it with powder but if I come back 10 mins later it's all caked in lines under my eyes. I ensure I don't use too much, only a bit at a time so I don't think it's my technique. I'm just not totally happy with it.

Still a good product for the cost, it's worth giving it a try.
