Chella - Highlighter Pencil - Ivory Lace

I got this from Bellabox ages ago and it annoyed me.
This is not a highlighter on me.
This is pretty close to the shade I am anyway.
My own skin colour does not a highlight make.

The colour it is vs. the colour I need in a highlight.

And DON'T call it 'Ivory'! This is NOT ivory.

As far as formulation, it is pretty creamy,
It really seems it would do better in a plastic wind up container rather than a pencil, given how much you use then need to sharpen it.
And the cap doesn't stay on.

I might use this as an eye shadow base. Might.

Price: 2/5 ($24.95 for not-$24-worth of highlight)
Scent: 2.5/5 (pencil smell)
Effectiveness: 1/5

Garnier - BB Cream - Miracle Skin Perfector - Light

This is definitely too dark for me! 'Light' my butt!

Can't they have a 'my butt' shade that is just paler than anything?

However, let's try it as a contour! 

***
Ok, it's too light as a contour (applied by beauty blender).

This is just the wrong shade.


Price: 3/5 ($15.99 for 50mL)
Scent: 3/5 (faint fruit scent)
Effectiveness: 0/5

Olay - Total Effects - 7 in one - Touch of Max Factor - Fair

For a 'fair' shade, this is really dark.

I guess the idea is to have it thin, but it is still scary.

Oh no.

Once on, it was immediately apparent that it is to dark to get away with.

The coverage is low, it is more of a tint than a foundation.
I like that it has a sun protection factor.

If you are darker than me, this would be ok, in place of a bb cream.

Price: 2/5 (~$25 for 50mL)
Scent: 2.5/5 (mix of classic olay smell and foundation smell)
Effectiveness: 1/5

Same Product, Different Colour - Schwarzkopf - Brilliance Intense Permanent Colour - 47 Copper Mahogany

I honestly wasn't too happy with the result of this one, it was too dark and too brunette.
And unfortunately I got it as a twin pack, so I guess I'll have darker hair for a while (or bleach... bleach is tempting me)
