Favourite Time! Prestige Eyeshadows

Hi all,
Sorry I haven't posted in a while. I have been extremely busy. Anyway, I wanted to review another product from the great makeup brand Prestige. It is the Prestige Total Intensity High Impact Eyeshadow. So this product is a collection of eye shadows which come in a variety of shades. They use a duo-chrome pigment which is an advanced colour technology that creates a unique multi-dimensional look, ranging from multi-colour to bold. The product is available in eight shades. The packaging is really cute and pretty. I like the clear to of eyeshadow and the practicality of the packaging as well. It just looks so nice in your vanity or makeup storage.

The eyeshadows are so easy to use and apply. They just glide onto the skin which I thoroughly enjoy. The consistency of the product is also very nice and creamy. The eyeshadows are smudge-proof, crease-proof and long-lasting. This is a huge plus! I love this! The product can be used wet or dry to intensify colour. The shades are so nice and are vivid and intense. The colours look really gorgeous on the eyelid!





The first shade I have is called Long Term Relationship. I just love the names of these shades. This is my favourite colour as it is a rich bronze colour. It is just so intense and gorgeous. I love it!
Njoy.



The second shade is called Obsession. It is a really nice deep blue. I think this shade is so beautiful as it is vivid and bold. The shadow has a bit of a sparkle to it to.

I am absolutely in love with these eyeshadows!
This product retails for $18.99. You can purchase this product from Priceline, Kmart, Terry White Chemists and selected Myer, Chemmart and Pharmacies nationally.

I love Biore's Nourish Moisture Lotion!

Hi guys,

Happy Valentine's Day! It's been a really busy week this week! Does anyone agree? Well, I really really wanted to review another product from Biore for you - because they are amazing! It is the Biore Nourish Moisture Lotion. It is a moisturiser that creates healthy looking skin by moisturizing, balancing and protecting. I really like the packaging as it is nice and simple, but is very handy as it has a pump dispenser. I love pump dispensers (hehe). The product is infused with antioxidant-rich vitamins A,C and E. I love these vitamins that are contained in it. The lotion also have anti-oxidant rich green tea and extracts of wild yellow poppy, rose hip, chamomile and aloe. These ingredients all help to moisturise and balance the skin. It has built-in broad spectrum UVA and UVB protection to defend your skin against everyday sun exposure. This means the product is suitable for skin exposed to sun. The formula is also dermatologist tested, non-comedogenic, hypo-allergenic and oil free. I love this! The consistency of the lotion is nice and thin and lightweight. This is a major plus for me! I also enjoy the lovely, clean, fresh scent the product has. I really Ike this product. Afterwards, my skin felt hydrated, moisturised, smooth and soft. What is a really important factor that I like, is that the product lets your skin breathe. This product is really great because it really hydrates your skin.
The product retails for $10.99 from Priceline, Target, Big W, Coles, Woolworths and Pharmacies.

4 more days to V-Day! Lush Willow Soap

Hi everyone,

So there is four more days to Valentine's Day and I have got the perfect product to prepare you for a great day and night! It is the Lush Willow Soap. The look of this soap is really nice. It looks really elegant and romantic. I love the delicate look of it. Something that stood out to me about this soap is the texture and consistency of it. Willow Soap feels really moisturizing, reminding me much of Lush's massage bars. It is more thick which I really do enjoy! The word that best describes this soap is creamy. It is super creamy! The soap is rose, silician lemon and rosewood. It's oh so romantic! The scent is so romantic. To me, all I smell is musk! It is so reminiscent of Musk Livesavers, but more elegant and mature. The soap lathers really nicely on your skin. Afterwards my skin felt really smooth and soft. Also my skin felt quite moisturised as well. Love this because you can't get that from many soaps. This is perfect to prepare for a great Valentine's Day. The scent lingers on your skin for a while, so you can still smell it afterwards. I love the delicate look and scent of the product! It is so romantic and elegant. I love it. I definitely recommend this for some pre - Valentine's Day pampering or a last-minute gift!
This product retails for $8.50 from Lush or on www.lush.com.au

theBalm's Mary-Lou Manizer

Hi beauties,
So a while back I did a post on theBalm's Christmas in 2012, which contained three beautiful products. Well here I am today, to share with you my thoughts on theBalm Mary-Lou Manizer. Just before I get straight into the review, I just want to say that theBalm have the best packaging I have seen. All their products are super adorable. I love it.


This product is an all-in-one bronzer, shimmer and eyeshadow. I have to admit that I'm not a huge fan of all-in-one products, but I do think this concept is great for this product because it is the perfect shade for it. Ok, the product is super cute. It has a 'Wanted' theme to it with a 'mug shot' of Betty-Lou on it. I just think it is so adorable. The bronzer has a lot of product in it (8.5g) which is always a big plus. The product has a really nice texture. It is so smooth and glides on the skin! I think that the bronzer is pigmented and it has such a pretty shimmer to it.


The shade 'Betty-Lou' is a warm-toned bronze colour. I thoroughly enjoy this product because it has so much variety. You can use it for a lovely, bronze eye or to give a nice shimmer and glow to the face. The colour is so nice which can be used on most skin tones. I just really love this product! It is so perfect yet adorable.

Favourite Product! Cosmecology's Clean Skin Milk

Hi all,
I have another fantastic product to review today! It is the Cosmecology Clean Skin Milk. This cleansing milk removes make-up but also gently cleanses the skin. All you have to do is apply with fingertips or cotton wool. I love how it is so easy to use and apply because a lot of people nowadays are always on-the-go. It is such a nice and quick way to freshen up! Something that really stands out to me is the scent. I just think it smells so so nice! It smells really refreshing. I love it! The packaging is quite cute and simple. You get a lot of product in this bottle! The consistency of this product is really unique. The milk is white and pure but has a nice, creamy and lightweight texture. I really really like this consistency. This leaves a pleasant feeling of comfort on the skin. Another plus about this product is that anyone can use it - it is suitable for all skin types! The product has Rose Extract. Due to its natural sugar compounds, the Rose Extract is softening and moisturizing. There is Also Shea Butter in the product which has a softening, nourishing and soothing effect. The Clean Skin Milk also has Apricot Stones Oil which has emollient properties. My skin felt really clean afterwards. A lot of dirt and impurities, as well as make-up was effectively removed. My skin also felt moisturized, smooth and soft too. I really like this product!

Look flawless with Prestige Skin Nude Foundation


Hi all,
The weather is so bad down here is Sydney! I was pretty cold all day and made me just want to be at home, watching movies.
Anyway, I have a fabulous product to share with you guys today. It is the Prestige Skin Nude Foundation. This foundation has a natural effect. It offers medium coverage which is natural looking. The packaging of this product really does highlight the 'skin nude' name of this product. It also is very portable and sleek. I like it a lot! The product really evens out the skin complexion which looks so nice on the skin. So what part of this product gives it the 'skin nude' name? Well, it's the light texture. The foundation has a very nice, light texture which creates a nude effect for a fresh look and healthy, luminous glow! And it really does let off this nice glow without it looking fake. The formula is very unique because not only is it enriched with bio related active principles, it is also enriched with ginseng, aloe and vitamin E. this stimulates, hydrates and protects the skin with anti-free radical and antioxidant protection. This is so perfect! Skin Nude Foundation is dermatologically tested and is paraben free. It has such a light and fluffy consistency, making it super easy to apply and use. The foundation is really lightweight on your skin and let's your skin breathe. It has great coverage and lasts quite a long time. There is really nothing I can fault about this product. It is sensational and so natural!
This product is a steal at $24.99. It comes in five shades Nude Sand, Nude Natural, Nude Desert, Nude Amber and Nude Sunny. You can purchase this product from Priceline, Kmart, Terry White Chemists and selected Myer, Chemmart and Pharmacies nationally.

Clinique 3-Step Review & Giveaway


Hi all,
So I have been wanting to review this product for a long time and I never really got the chance. Now I'm reviewing these fantastic products which I use everyday single day.
So if you not familiar with the 3-Step system, it contains three products which you use in order, to achieve great results. There are several variations of the products to suit all skin types. I had always heard the rave reviews about this system and couldn't wait to try it out. Clinique is my favourite skin care brand and I am absolutely amazed by the results!
The first product is the Liquid Facial Soap Mild. This is the first step which is a cleanser. It aims to cleanse the skin and remove any dirt and impurities. After a long day out or after I just wake up, this product really makes me feel better. I am instantly refreshed and afterwards my face feels so clean, so smooth and so soft! The product comes in a bar form or as a liquid. However, they both lather really well. You know that you are able to get a great clean with this product and it just removes any dirt and impurities well. It is absolutely fantastic! It also removes makeup which is a great thumbs up! The cleanser is so gentle yet effective and is non-drying. Sometimes on lazy days I just use this and my skin is still clean and clear! I just love this product.
The next step in the three step system is the Clarifying Lotion. This is equal to a toner and I feel like it really evens out your skin tone and removes excess oil. I find this product is great for my skin and works the best with my skin. This is because it helps control the amount oil I have on my face but doesn't overdry the rest of my face. The packaging makes it quite easy to dispense the product and use. It really does clarify my skin and evens it out, so that there is no dry skin or oily skin. My face feels really smooth and soft and healthy but not heavy. My skin really feels like it can breathe.
The last product is the Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion. This is the third step which is a moisturiser. And yes, it really does moisturise the skin! The consistency of this product is just delightful! It is nice and lightweight and thin. I really enjoy this! The product feels really nice on the skin. My skin feels super moisturise afterwards and really hydrated. Afterwards, my skin also felt super smooth and soft. What sets this moisturiser apart from all the rest is that it is super lightweight and let's the skin breathe!
The three steps work together superbly! After using this 3-Step system, my skin was a lot cleaner and a lot clearer. It was less oilier and was super smooth and so soft! I would recommend this to anyone because it is simply the best!

GIVEAWAY!
I am giving away TEN of these little Clinique 3-Step sample packs you readers to enjoy! All you have to do is be a resident of Australia and comment on this post! It closes 14/2/12, good luck!

John Frieda Intensive Masque

Hi all,
The product I wanted to share with you today is the John Frieda Frizz-Ease Miraculous Recovery Intensive Masque. I tried this out today and I really do love it!
John Frieda delivers moisture to dehydrated hair so that it's soft, silky and glossy. The product is infused with milk protein, vitamin E and avocado oil which I really enjoy. The avocado oil visibly  repairs and fortifies dry, damaged, frizzy hair to help protect against breakage. This is a real plus! My hair is a bit frizzy but with this product, it definitely reduced the frizziness. The masque is ideal for women with thick, unmanageable curls or waves. My hair is very thin and is wavy. It still worked perfectly on my hair which I really liked. The packaging of this product is nice and cohesive with the rest of John Frieda's products. Also the masque is portable but has a lot of product in it. This is superb! It helps hair bounce back from the stresses of blow-drying, styling and daily wear and tear. I love the consistency of this product as it is so nice and thick. You replace conditioner with this product as it is like a deep conditioner. It is a great product to use occasionally as it really brings the hair back to a healthy state.
I love this product as my hair feels much healthier, smoother and softer!
RRP $16.99  from Priceline, Target, Woolworths, Coles and selected pharmacies.

What's New from Le Tan! Review

Hi all,
I have a couple of new products from, one of my favourite brands, Le Tan. I really love this brand and I think that these products are so great!
The first product is the Le Tan SPF30+ Fragrance Free Sunscreen Oil. It works to hydrate and moisturise the skin but also protects against the sun's UVA and UVB rays. The packaging of this product is really cute and unique and reminds me so much of Summer. The formulation is fast absorbing and protects, hydrates and nourishes your skin to help prevent peeling and dryness. Although it is fragrance free, the sunscreen oil smells quite nice. The scent is very very feint. The product is quite easy to use and apply. The oil is thick when you first dispense it, but it thins out when you rub it in. I really like this. The sunscreen oil has moisturising properties which assist in the prevention of premature ageing. Wow, this is great. The product is really hydrating but it is not oily. This aspect is really important as I really dislike when sunscreen oils leave an oily residue. The product worked great for me. I felt protected from the sun and my skin was very moisturised. This product retails for $10.99.
The next product is Le Tan SPF30+ Daily Face Sheer Tint. This is a tinted moisturising face sunscreen which provided broad-spectrum protection for the face. This help nourish, protect and prevent premature ageing of the skin caused by UV exposure. The packaging is nice and simple and I quite like it. This product is a 3-in-1 which is great as it is a moisturiser, sunscreen and tint all in one! The consistency of this product is so nice and thin as you really let's your skin breathe. The tint looks really nice and natural and I feel like my skin is really hydrated. The product gives a matte finish, is suitable for all skin types and can be worn either alone or under make-up. How great is this?! Also it is fragrance free and paraben free and is suitable for sensitive skin. It is non-greasy and provided my skin sun protection, hydration and a nice tint. I really like it!
This product retails for $11.99.

Both of these products are fantastic and can be purchased from leading grocery stores, selected discount department stores (Priceline and Kmart) and pharmacies nationally.

This product comes with 20 Wax Strips and 4 Perfect Finish Wipes. The wax strips are designed for use on legs, arms, underarms and bikini lines. This waxing product gives you a better grip and perfect results. It is made with a specially developed grip tab to help you get the best waxing technique for perfect results in one easy move.

Holy Grail Product! Biore Deep Cleansing Pore Strips

Hi beauties,
I really love Biore for the great skincare products they offer. Recently, the company have given their packaging face lift and I quite like it.
So the product I am reviewing is the Biore Deep Cleansing Pore Strips. The packaging is nice and simple. I really like that each pore strip is individually wrapped which is very hygienic. The pore strips have selective bonding ingredients. This works like a magnet by instantly locking onto and removing deep-down dirt that can cause blackheads.
The strip is quite large to fit your whole nose. What you do is, you wet your nose and stick the strip onto your nose. You wait ten to fifteen minutes and the pore strip turns hard and is like papier-mache. After that, you pull it off and see the amazing results.
This product removes a lot of dirt and blackheads for me. I really feel like it gives me a great clean and I know that it really works! I love it! When you use it weekly, you will have fewer clogged pores and the appearance of pores will actually diminish. It is great and is so quick!
This product is fantastic for everyone who wants to get rid of dirt buildup and blackheads.
It retails for $5.69 for six strips from Priceline, Target, Big W, Coles, Woolworths and Pharmacies.

Johnson's Daily Essentials Refreshing Gel Wash

Hi beauties,
I wanted to review this lovely product today. It is the Johnson's Daily Essentials Refreshing Gel Wash. This cleanser is for normal and combination skin. This gel wash gently lifts away impurities whilst caring for your skin. The packaging of this product is nice and simple. I really like that you can see the gel wash through its packaging. The consistency of the facial wash is very gel-like. It is also quite thick but very lightweight. To me, the scent of Refreshing Gel Wash is very much like all the other products from Johnson's. The scent is very nice and calming. From the smell, I can tell that the product is going to be gentle on my skin. The wash contains skin loving minerals. These are known to restore freshness. It also has vitamin C derivative in it which is known for its antioxidant purposes. This sounds fantastic! Refreshing Gel Wash was really nice to apply and use. The product worked up into a great lather and I just loved it. Afterwards, my skin felt so refreshed and clean. It was also very smooth and soft. The results were superb! This is a great everyday cleanser because it is so great at removing dirt and impurities and leaving the face smooth and soft. I recommend to anyone and everyone!

This product retails for $8.99 from leading supermarkets, variety stores and pharmacies nationally.
