The Bomb Cosmetics Sunkissed Body Butter

Hi everyone,
So I have found this new body brand that I am in love with. It is called Bomb Cosmetics. Before I even head into this review, I suggest that you should check out their website. It is amazing! I have tried out the Bomb Cosmetics Sunkissed Shimmering Body Butter. This body butter gives a hint of glitter to the skin and makes your skin feel super hydrated. The packaging of this product is very nice. It comes in a convenient tub with a pretty floral design on it. It is so cute! Also, there is a lot of product in this tub. This product contains so many great ingredients for your skin. There is pure Shea butter which keeps your skin looking and feeling moisturised. Patchouli and mandarin essential oils are used to keep the skin looking healthy. How great is this?! The scent is what really sold me! The smell of this product just sends me to a tropical island. The body butter has a fruit opening top notes that is diffused with water lily. At the heart of it is ylang ylang, lily and tuberose blend with peony and spices. The product is rounded off with vanilla, caramel and tropical coconuts. It really can't get much better than that! The product has a really nice and thick consistency. In addition, the body butter works really well. My skin feels so moisturised and hydrated and looks so smooth and soft. Also, you can see little specks of glitter on your skin. I love this product.

Veet Hair Removal Cream!

Hi all,
So I am always up for trying hair removal products and am super excited to share with you guys a great hair removal product from Veet! It is the Veet Hair Removal Cream. This is the one for Sensitive Skin. This cream removes your unwanted hair whilst respecting the delicate nature of the skin. I really like that this product can be used on legs, underarms and bikini area. The packaging of this product is really nice and simple. The packaging makes it really easy to dispense the product and get maximise use out of it. Veet's formula is effective no matter how short or long the hair is. I love this! The formula is designed to work close to the root of the hair. This makes it able to remove even very short hair, which is a big plus! Veet recently launched reformulated creams that are enriched with ingredients to nourish and moisturise the skin. I really like the consistency of the product as it is really nice. The product is very easy to use and apply onto the skin. The product has accurate instructions to ensure easy application. What I really love about this product is that your hair takes noticeably longer to grow back and your skin stays up to twice as long as shaving! I am so impressed with this! Whereas shaving cuts off the hair at the skin's surface, creams gently dissolve the hair leaving a soft tip under the surface meaning that regrowth is softer. The product is specially designed for Sensitive Skin and is enriched with Aloe Vera and Vitamin E. The results were fantastic. My hair was removed for a longtime and my skin felt so soft, silky and smooth for a long time. Removal is made easy with the "Perfect Touch" spatula which has a flexible soft-touch fin at each end to glide over the contours of the body ensuring a clean finish. I really like this product and recommend to many people!

RRP $7.79

John Frieda's Luxurious Volume Shampoo and Conditioner

Hey all,
John Frieda have recently launched a new range, which got me so excited. The range is called Luxurious Volume. I love that this range is all about volume because I have really fine hair. Anyway, this range is all about transforming fine, flat hair into salon-caliber, natural-looking volume. Another feature that I love about this range is that they have products according to three steps; Prep, Create and Perfect. Today I will be sharing with you two products from the Prep stage. They are the Luxurious Volume Touchably Full Shampoo and the Luxurious Volume Touchably Full Conditioner.
The Luxurious Volume Touchably Full Shampoo preps fine strands for full style without stripping hair for a naturally soft feel. The lightweight formula thickens individual strands and increases lift for positively thicker,full-bodied hair. The packaging of this product is just so great. I love the bright blue colour as it always catches my eyes to use. The consistency of this product is also just superb. It is quite thick but so lightweight. I love that when I am washing my hair, the product is not weighing down my hair. Also, the shampoo has a really nice, refreshing scent. The shampoo gently cleanses my hair for volume and it feels so natural. My hair, afterwards, feels so clean and natural. This shampoo is just really fantastic!
RRP: $15.99

The Luxurious Volume Touchably Full Conditioner is a conditioning formula that preps fine hair to build fullness while weightlessly conditioning and detangling strands for a naturally soft feel. The lightweight formula targets damaged areas, providing weightless conditioning for full-bodied style with a soft,silk feel. The packaging is cohesive with the rest of the range and is just so vibrant and bright. In addition, I love the consistency so much. It is so thick and moisturising but so lightweight. Again, when using the product I don't feel like the product is weighing down my hair. This conditioner gives great results. M hair feels thicker, softer, smoother and more hydrated.

It is a fresh cleanser which is one of the many perks of this product. Aqua Marina is like a pink mousse that is wrapped in seaweed. It feels so soft and wobbly, that I just kept playing with it instead of using it! I absolutely love the consistency of the cleanser. And, wow, it was such a joy to use! All you have to do is smooth it on and rinse it off. How simple?! I love how the product contains fresh ingredients. It has calamine and aloe vera to soothe irritated skin, especially when you've been caught by the sun or the wind. Also, the kaolin cleanses deeply and tightens your skin a little.

Biore's Make-Up Removing Wipes

Hey beauties,
One thing that really bothers me is taking my makeup off before I go to bed. I really can't be bothered but I know I have to. But one product that really helps me to actually do so is Biore Make-Up Removing Wipes. They thoroughly clean by instantly dissolving makeup. I find that these wipes are just so convenient and handy. The packaging of these wipes are very nice, clean and simple. The wipes themselves are nice and soft and don't hurt your skin. This product locks onto dirt and makeup including waterproof mascara and lifts it away without leaving a greasy residue for a clean finish. The wipes are formulated with green tea and are really conditioning. The product really removed my makeup off well and do so quite quickly and efficiently. They also left my skin looking very healthy and feeling fresh, smooth and soft. What I also enjoy about this product is that they are available in a handy travel size for times when you are on the go.

Intensify the eyes with Prestige's Total Intensity Eyeliners

Hey all,
I am very very very fussy when looking for an eyeliner to purchase and use. I guess I want my money spent to be worth it. I really look for a nice consistency and beautiful colour. And I have just the product that goes above and beyond my standards. It is the Prestige Total Intensity Eyeliner
               
The packaging is great as it clearly communicates the colour of the eyeliner. The eyeliner provides intense colour with deep black undertones and comes in 10 shades. Wow! These eyeliners are really intense! I love them! What really seals the deal for me is their incredible consistency. They are super creamy and smooth and just glide on the skin. I can not explain how much I love their consistency. They are waterproof and smudge proof. I tried rubbing it so many times and the eyeliner did not budge at all. It's fantastic. The eyeliners are very long lasting and last up to 10 hours. On top of all of this, they are 100% paraben free. I have this eyeliner in two shades; Lively Turquoise and Strong Slate. Like its name Lively Turquoise is a very bright turquoise blue and it so metallic and vibrant. Strong Slate is an intense dark grey with black and purple undertones. It is so unique. I absolutely love these shades as they are so unique and intense. I particularly love Lively Turquoise. I am a bit bias though because any turquoise colour sucks me in. These eyeliners are amazing as the consistency is fantastic and the colour payoff is brilliant.
               
This product retails for $14.95 from Priceline and selected pharmacies.

Prolong Lash Cleanser

Eyelash extensions are a rapidly growing trend. When investing in eyelash extensions, oil, glycerine and glycerol in cosmetic products breaks down and softens the bonding agent used to apply eyelash extensions.
Prolong Lash is the first and only most complete, truly "oil free" range, formulated specifically to protect bonded lashes and your skin.
This brand is fantastic and one product that has caught my eye is the Prolong Complete Care Eyelash Extension Cleanser. This product is designed to prolong the life of bonded eyelash extensions. It is pH balanced and gently removes surface debris without stripping the skin of its natural oils. The product is 100% free of Sodium Laureth Sulphate, artificial colours and fragrances. It removes non oil based makeup.
            
To use this product, place 2-3 drops of the cleanser onto a wet hand. Work it into a lather, then apply around the eyes, gently rolling the eyelash extensions between your finger tips from base to tip. Rinse well with clean water and gently pat dry. Apply moisturiser to the face and around eyes.
The features of this product:
 - It's oil-free
 - The product is glycerine and glycerol free
 - There is no SLS and no parabens
 - It is made up of all natural ingredients
The benefits of this product:
 - It reduces refill time

This product is so pure and gentle on the skin. It effectively removes dead skin cells and daily pollution. The product can be used on the whole face and is oil-free, which I love. It has a nice gel-like consistency and has a great scent.

David Babaii Tutorial: Messy Braid

Hi everyone,
Today I have something to share with you. Here is one of David's Signature Celebrity Styles called the Messy Braid!


“The messy, loose braid, fish tail or plait is an adult spin on ‘school girl hair’ – it’s a mix of innocence and rebellion that makes it look so carefree” – David Babaii

This style is perfect for second-day hair!

HOW-TO:
1.     Start by tapping in David Babaii Instant Miracle Hair Volume Powder to give roots a refreshed lift.
2.     Determine how high you want the braid to sit and begin braiding. Don’t braid too tightly though – nest, tight braids are for little girls selling cookies.
3.     Leave a finger-length of hair unbraided at the end and secure with an elastic
4.     Pull out a few random strands of hair to frame the face. If ends are looking a little dull, spritz on David Babaii Miracle Elixir Oil for shine.

HOT-TIP: If starting out fresh, use David Babaii Ultimate Volume Shampoo & Conditioner to ensure roots have that va-va voom factor!

Enjoy!

Pantene Beautiful Lengths program

Hi beauties,
I wanted to share with you some exciting news about the Pantene Beautiful Lengths program. I love this program as it aims to give wigs to cancer patients.
After receiving over 4,000 ponytail donations since the program launch in September 2012, Pantene has begun to distribute the first 200 Pantene Beautiful Lengths wigs to cancer patients in need with the help of charity partner, Look Good…Feel Better.

To celebrate, Pantene held two special Look Good…Feel Better workshops in Sydney and Brisbane this month to present the first of the wigs to 20 women who have lost their hair to cancer treatment.

In Sydney, hair donors Madeline Bartlett-Sweiger, Nataleigh McCrae and Kimmi Nissen attended to present the first of the Pantene Beautiful Lengths wigs and see the result of their kind donations, and in Brisbane, hair donor Lillian Webb attended and the two daughters of cancer patient, Robyn Condon, decided to donate their hair on the day.

Pantene ambassadors Barney Martin and Zoe Foster attended the workshops, with Barney on hand to cut and style the wigs.


 This is just such a great cause which I love!

It's Time to Have Fun with Lush Fun

Hi all,
Holidays are now in gear and I'm finally able to have some good fun! And what better way than to have fun with a new invention from Lush called Fun. I recently tested out this product in this Green scent and I am delighted with this product. The consistency of it is so unique as it is hard yet gooey. How cool?! And the packaging of this product is so bright and bubbly. You get a lot of uses out of this 4-in-1 product and I really enjoy this!
Well what is this product all about? According to Lush:
"A citrus burst of tangy lime and lemon essential oils will wake you up, keep you feeling fresh and focused and help you play for hours."

      

Lush Fun in Green contains lime and lemon essential oils which pack a punch and will definitely wake you up. This really refreshes you!
It is the ultimate body product as you can use it for a bubble bath, your hair, your body and for fun! It has many different uses which I love. In addition the Green scent smells so nice and refreshing, making it especially perfect for summer! When I put it in the bath, the water turned green with some bubbles. It was so relaxing to be in the bath but I felt so revitalised after, thanks to Lush! The citrus scent lingered on my skin and my skin felt hydrated, smooth and soft. It's like clay which you can mould into all different shapes.

         

How do you use it? You need to learn from the experts:
"Well, the first thing you will want to do with your Fun is get it out of its biodegradable wrapper and start having fun making it into models and shapes. There are so many ways to wash with Fun. For body and hair, just pinch off a small bit, hop in the shower or bath and lather from head to toe. Use as a bubble bath or to hand wash your clothes by crumbling a small chunk under the hot running tap. When you've finished having Fun, please store your bar back in its cellophane."

Battle of the Cleansers: Biore Combo Skin Balancing Cleanser vs. Biore 4-in-1 Revitalising Cleanser

Hi everyone,
Today we have a showdown of the Biore cleansers! Who will win? Biore's Combination Skin Balancing Cleanser or Biore's 4-in-1 Revitalising Cleanser. Let the battle begin!
Today we have two competitors battling it out to win the ultimate title here at the showground of Beauty Fix blog. First competitor in the arena is Biore Combination Skin Balancing Cleanser.
This cleanser is formulated with Skin Purifying Technology which  deep cleans oily t-zones while cleansing drier areas of the skin, giving the face a balanced skin tone.
The next competitor versing this lovely product is the Biore 4-in-1 Revitalising Cleanser. This cleanser purifies, tones, stimulates and detoxifies skin without leaving the skin feeling tight.
The first category today that the competitors will be competing in today is the showdown of packaging. Both products have similar packaging and are both not travel-friendly (I know with this type of packaging, I tend to get nervous that it will leak in my suitcase). The Combination Skin Cleanser features a very handy pump and looks very sleek and simple. The Revitalising Cleanser also features a convenient pump but has a more of an irregular shaped bottle which is nice. Other than that, both products are the same - they have a nice look to them which draws your attention to the products. I am thoroughly enjoying the new look Biore has!
So the results of this round...A TIE!

The second round for this battle today is consistency. I am looking for a really nice consistency that I know will work nicely with my skin. The Combination Skin Cleanser has a very, very nice thick, gel-like consistency that feels very gentle yet thorough. To go along with this is the product's lovely, fresh scent. The Revitalising Cleanser also has a great consistency. In contrast to the first product, this cleanser is a lightweight foam that also has Biore's great scent. The battle of this category is really up to personal preference.
So the winner of this round is...Combination Skin Cleanser!

The battle is now heating up and the next category today is ingredients. Both products contain great ingredients that benefit the skin. The Combination Skin Cleanser is equipped with this Skin Purifying Technology. This ingredient removes all impurities from the skin but doesn't take away the skin's moisture, which is necessary in evening your skin tone. The Revitalising Skin Cleanser contains very natural ingredients. There is sugarbeet extract in it to condition the skin and help retain its moisture and there is also green tea and eucalyptus which provides an ultra cooling sensation. This round is a tough one but I will probably have to go with all naturale!
This winner is...Revitalising Cleanser!

The fourth round in this battle is all about how it works. The Combination Skin Cleanser builds up into a really nice lather. The cleanser is so effective in which it is so thorough yet so gentle. It left my skin feeling really balanced out - it felt not oily yet not dry! My skin felt so smooth and soft, as well as clean, afterwards. The Revitalising Skin Cleanser also really lathered up nicely with the foamy consistency. It felt like it was really doing its job but was not harsh on my skin at all. The product left my skin feeling so soft and smooth after using it and also it felt refreshed and clean. Both of these products really did their job and promote healthy skin.
The results of this round is...A TIE!

The battle is now coming to an end. And to conclude this battle, I have one more round...Price! Both cleansers are so affordable and of good value. The Combination Skin Cleanser is $10.99 for 200ml and the Revitalising Cleanser is $12.99 for 198ml. Also they both last for a quite a while so it is really good value. You can purchase both of these from Priceline, Target, Big W, Coles, Woolworths and Pharmacies.
So the winner of the final round is...Combination Skin Cleanser.

Before I announce the winner of the battle, I want to say that both of these cleansers are amazing. I would choose both to be winners if I could! It basically comes down to your personal preference. So if I was you, I would give both of these great cleansers a try.

AND THE WINNER IS...BIORE COMBINATION SKIN BALANCING CLEANSER!
