MAKEUP BEYU Beauty Queen Volume Mascara This is my favourite mascara with a regular, meaning non-waterproof, formula and I already miss it so much. Every mascara I get to try disappoints me in some or other way, but mostly because they don't keep my lashes at least a little bit curled. This one does everything I want - gives volume, definition and keeps my lashes lifted enough so I don't look like I have no lashes looking straight on. It can't compare to a proper waterproof mascara, but it does enough and it's easy to remove. The price is the thing that keeps me from buying it all the time, but every time a new disappointment lands in my mailbox, I regret not having this in my collection.   Repurchase: Yes. MAYBELLINE Volumin' Express the Mega Plush Mascara  Such a boring mascara, though not a useless one. It's so light and probably the most natural looking mascara I've tried. I had hoped this would thicken in time and start producing more volume, but that n...

MANHATTAN Easy Match Foundation I bought this just before they changed the bottle, so even though you might not have seen this packaging in a while, this formula still exists (named 3 in 1 Easy Match ) and I strongly suspect it's not just at Manhattan but also at Rimmel as even the packaging looks pretty much the same now. To me this is exactly the same formula as Rimmel's Match Perfection and I just hated it. I only wore it because the shade fit me (30 Soft Porcelain), but otherwise it's a light-medium coverage type of foundation that never sets and leaves that obnoxious damp/sticky feeling on the skin. I say good riddance, I'm glad it's gone from my stash. Repurchase: Nope.   BOURJOIS Radiance Revel Concealer   I talk about this one a lot. It's my favourite concealer because it looks very natural on the skin, but still covers enough for me, though for very dark circles and big spots I reach for products with more coverage. Repurchase: Done. CATRICE Liquid Eye...

BIOBAZA Face Cleansing Micellar Oil  This was my second bottle and I'm three quarters into my latest one. I've been using this for a year or two and by now I've developed a love-hate relationship. I hate that it's too weak to remove mascara and I still can't forgive that the sample which wowed me was completely different than what's in the full-size version. I don't like it's so thin and that it doesn't emulsify much, but I appreciate that it washes off completely and I definitely love it for the way it works with my skin. Oil cleansers tend to break me out, but with this my skin is completely clear. Until I find something better in the same or lower price range, I'm sticking to this, however, L'Occitane's Immortelle is my favourite if I want the job done properly. Repurchase: Done . BALEA Erfrischendes Waschgel My standard second cleanser, I've gone through several tubes of this and I wasn't thinking about switching it anytime s...
