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!

Happy Australia Day!

Happy Australia Day everyone!

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.
