Good formula, colours are surprisingly pigmented although lean cool. Not the most hydrating balm our there.

Fantastic cream blushes but shade selection is limited, cooler less bright colours are in short supply. Lots of reds and berries that I find similar eg frenzy / envious. Eclipse is black and is an interesting contour colour, obviously use a light hand. Very intensely pigmented, fingers work best for blending as texture can be a bit stiff. Desire is the standout colour imo - gorgeous cool mauve taupe which can almost double as a contour on paler, cooler complexions. Long lasting and great as a base for powder blushes,

Best quality of the PMG glosses I tried (bought skin show warm and colour Blitz sets). Overpriced for the quality but decent.

Okay as a topper. Over priced

Disappointing, not pigmented, sticky and just mediocre.

Fantastic foundation brush. Love the CDJAPAN version which can stand upright because of the flat backed handle. Great for buffing. Hair is extremely soft and high quality goat.

Great buildable lip stains, very long wearing. Finish is natural, not overly matte. Very comfortable and sponge tip is surprisingly easy to use to apply colour precisely. Shade range could be better - too many peachy and bright pink shades. Packaging is a bit cheap. Overall, great product. I bought this in three shades - Cinnamon, Rosy Mauve and Copper Pink - and my favourite is Cinnamon.

Fantastic buildable foundation with exemplary shade range. Value for money is great - 50ml instead of the usual 30ml. I had several great matches but I found my perfect match in 1CR, which doesn\'t happen often! More neutral toned than most Dior foundations - I found the shades were pinkier than normal. Dior often runs too yellow for me. Great for mixing. Long wearing, even in humid climates.

Nice but has a slight scent that is artificial and is transfer prone. Great wear time.

What a massive disappointment from Charlotte Tilbury. The formula is incredibly uncomfortable and sucked the moisture out of my lips. The finish accentuates every little lip line you have (my mouth looked like a prune). Don't pay any attention to the photos of models wearing each lipstick on the official Charlotte Tilbury website. They are drastically different in real life and inaccurately described (Show Girl is a dark '90s brown with no rosiness in it). There is no strong scent which is a plus. However the applicator is poorly designed and was incredibly messy and imprecise. The lipstick dries down within 10 minutes and starts becoming uncomfortable at the 45 minute mark. Packaging is not a clear tube by the way. Most of the tube is opaque and is garishly emblazoned with 'Hollywood Lips' and an accompanying lipstick kiss in a particularly loud shade of red. It looks cheap. Charlotte Tilbury has great lipsticks (the tube formulas) but her liquid lipstick was a huge dud for me.

The US and European/Asian formulas are very different and both have upsides and downsides. The US blushes tend to be smoother and silkier but they're also prone to kicking up a lot of powder and they are way more heavily scented. Baked blushes vary but in general are more shimmery and have more buildable pigmentation. Chanel has a great range of colours but is constantly discontinuing shades so your favourite might be gone once you've finished it.

Beautiful rosy pink colour but I'm not impressed by the six month use by date. These definitely are prone to rancidity, probably due to all the plant waxes and oils. I bought over half a dozen when they were released and while they're all still useable, some have developed a Crayola like smell and an unpleasantly heavy texture. Activist isn't one of them, so far but I think it's best to buy these one at a time so you can use them up before they go off. Nice packaging but the the caps often don't snap shut completely - they sort of half snap shut and you only realise later that it wasn't properly on.

Classic truly neutral red. A good formula - demi-matte rather than full matte which makes it more comfortable to wear. It's a classic colour, probably dupeable but Burberry's formula is solid and the packaging is nicely done, The magnetic caps are smart - no caps falling off in your purse. Overall, a very good red,

Fantastic formula - quite liquidy but gives you enough time to blend before it sets. The wear time is fantastic - even in hot and humid climates, these hold up. They are nice to layer under powder blush and will help the colour last longer. Packaging could be better as too much product is dispensed when squeezing the tube. All shades are very pigmented so you don\'t need much - they are also very buildable so will work on most skin tones l regardless of depth. A really good buy at a very reasonable price. I love all the colours but Dusk is nice to mix with Puff and Beam for a more muted, natural effect. It\'s a very versatile shade and lovely for adding the illusion of warmth to paler skin, especially if you are not a fan of bronzer.

Worst of the Tom Ford cream a shadows by far. So emollient it verges on feeling greasy, not buildable, doesn\'t set and creases terribly,

By far my favourite MJ formula. Not sheer at all imo, but very moisturising and comfortable. I don't like the beige packaging but it's quite retro,I have the shades 'Role Play' and 'Ear Cake'. Both are beautiful.

Middling quality, with uneven gradation of hairs that is vet noticeably in the new 14 and 12. Good value for money, compared to the eye set, but the quality of the hair in my set was only so so.

These are absolutely awful. They\'re the strangest consistency....a liquid lipstick which does not set but migrates just about everywhere. Lots of feathering and requires a lot of maintenance. I have two shades, Hot Cocoa and Slow Burn. Both smell like paint stripper, the wear time is exceptionally poor and they\'re a real mess.

Truly awful product. I\'m N12, leaning cool but can wear most colours. I bought Medium Deep as a bronzer. It\'s orange and sparkly and looks like a Ruffles potato chip. Very sheer, yet sparkly. All shades are orangey - Deep is the most neutral, then Medium Deep which still looks like cheeto dust.

Pretty natural blush, a little too heavily scented and far more pink than bronze (not sure why it's called Rose Bronze to be honest). It's definitely pigmented and can be a little powdery. Overall, a classic Chanel JC blush with an English Rose effect.
