I first saw Binky Felstead use Banana on her blog, and as she said it was a good 'nude' colour I thought I'd give it a go, and it is a good nude. I usually have to use a lip primer, as I've quite a lot of 'blue' in my lips which can make some lipsticks & glosses turn a odd colour. But this gloss remains true, and stays put a lot longer than other glosses I've tried, and isn't sticky either. Think I may treat myself to another one soon, trouble is which colour.....

This is the first time I've tried this product, having been recomended it by a friend who calls it her 'holy' water! I use it in the mornings when I get up to cleanse, rather than faff about with the usual cleansing routine. It wakes me up, it's cooling, non drying, and the fragrance is lovely. It does clean well, and leaves my face feeling really refreshed, and ready for make up. A great all round product.

This is a great product, and probably the best I've ever used. It's so easy to use, creamy, has a lovely light fragrance, exfoliates well, but isn't at all harsh. It leaves my skin soft and very clean. I use it 2 a week, more in the summer. I just wish it was in a larger tube.

I saw this on Binky Felstead's blog, and it looked very pretty on her, so I thought I'd give it a go. Like most lip glosses it doesn't have much staying power, but is better than some I've used. It's ideal to wear on its own when you're having a natural day. I also used it over a very matte pink lippy, and it gave it a lovely shiny irridescent look. A bit pricey for a lip gloss, but worth it for me anyway.

The pressed Daniel Sander Matte Shadow creates high-drama for your eyes.
With exceptionally high pigmentation, rich colour, and a matte finish, this shadow is not for the faint of heart. If bold colour is what you crave, then this shadow will go the distance.
The smooth, luxurious texture applies like a dream, and the non-drying formulation actually conditions the skin throughout the day.
Apply dry for a softer look, or dampen your eye shadow brush before application for an intense, longer wearing finish.

I saw Daniel Sandler use this eyeshadow in Cedar on one of his online videos, so I thought I'd give it a go. It's a very pretty mid brown that is ideal for day use on the lid, or as definition in the crease of the eye. It's a lovely soft creamy texture which goes on very well and stays put. Will be buying more I suspect.

Dimensional Shadow
The pressed Dimensional Shadow allows you to play with your look, and dress up your eyes.
The innovative 3D finish of the shadow makes for a unique and eye-catching finish. The formulation is created using breakthrough technology, fusing matte and pearl pigments for a metallic look with an unbelievable shimmer.
Apply dry for a softer look, or dampen your eye shadow brush before application for a creamier, longer wearing finish.

I first saw this eyeshadow that Binky Felstead used on one of her blogs, so I thought I'd give it a go. It really is a very pretty colour and although it looks a bit sparkly it's subtle enough to be worn during the day, but you can put on more for the evening to give more definition. It's of good quality, and very reasonably priced. Am thinking I may try more of Daniel Sandlers products

This is a brilliant gift set which I bought for my best friends birthday. She usually uses a different brand but wasn't happy with it, and as I tend to rattle on about Clarins, she said she'd give it a go...one day. So I gave her this set, and she loves everything about it. So full marks to me.

This is a lovely lipstick. Creamy, non drying and stays put for a fair amount of time, and has a lovely shine. The colour I chose was Candide which is a pretty pink. but a bit too bright for my taste. It is as it says a vibrant colour, which if you like that, then this is for you.

I first had a bottle of Calandre in the late 60's, and it became my all time favourite. Then it seemed to disappear, and I couldn't get it anywhere. I was basically ecstatic to find it on Escentual, that I bought 2 bottles. It's a beautiful fragrance and I get more compliments wearing this than I have with any other perfume. So thank you Escentual, for stocking it, and for the speedy delivery.

Philip Kingsley Straight Hair 100ml
The same gel - much better packaging, a 100ml Airless Pump - This means all of the contents will come out so no wasteage. This heat activated gel, rich in botanical extracts temporarily smoothes and straightens whilst protecting against heat and UV especially when using iron\ styling methods. Helps prolong the life of colour treatments.

I have waist length hair and although it's not frizzy, left to its own devices it's very wavy. I've tried cheaper versions, but this is the only one that seems to keep the waves at bay. It's easy to use and gives my hair a nice shine. Also, I find I don't need much, so it's quite economical. A good product.
