What's New from Australis! Review

Hi all,
So there are a couple of new products from Australis. I really wanted to share them with you because they are so great! Both of these products are nail polishes.
The first product is the Australis Nail Glitter Top Coat in Eureka. I think that the name of this shade is just so cute because it is gold in colour. This is a specialty top coat with glitter flake. The packaging is really appealing and the polish is quite big. It is a clear top coat with different sizes of gold specs throughout it. I really like how it has different sizes because it adds more variety. The brush is nice and big, making it much easier to apply the product. What I really love is that when you apply the top coat the flakes spread out evenly and don't bunch up. The top coat looks nice on over basically any colour of nail polish. It adds extra sparkle and is just a really nice look. I love it!

The other new product is the Australis Crackle Colour in Duck Duck Goose. How cute is the name of the shade?! This polish creates crackle effects when on top of nail polish. This is so cool as you can see the base colour through the cracks. The packaging of the product is the same as the first polish and is simple and attractive. You also get a lot of polish. The nail polish shatters very quickly and the texture and look of it is superb! The large brush makes it super easy to apply the polish on the nail. Duck Duck Goose is a very, very, very light blue. It looks good under any bright and dark colours. Many crackle nail polishes don't work at all or don't look good. But this product works so well and looks good. But this product works so well and looks good. You can really see the crackle effect. It's great.

Neutrogena Oil-Free Moisturiser for Combination Skin

Hi all,
Christmas is in 5 days! OMG! This is so exciting. I absolutely love the holiday season. Anyway, I have another great skincare product to share with you.

Neutrogena Oil-Free Moisturiser for Combination Skin is absolutely perfect for people like me - dry in some areas, but mostly oily! I feel like it is more than a moisturiser because it does so much more than a regular moisturising lotion. It moisturises dry areas but also controls shine in oily areas. How smart is that?! The packaging is really simple but looks attractive. Also the product comes with a handy, little dispenser which you can lock into place so it doesn't release any more product. The formula is really lightweight but only non-greasy. This is really nice. I also like that this moisturiser is designed to normalise combination skin. It has a patented oil-absorbing Microsponge system which controls oil and shine in the T-zone or wherever your skin is oily. The moisturiser gives you a natural, matte finish throughout the day and also makes your skin feel and look softer.

This product is superb! I definitely noticed less oil and shine on my skin and dry ares felt hydrated. Also my skin felt definitely more soft and smooth. I loved it and will be a product that I will continue to use.
The product retails for $13.99 from leading supermarkets, variety stores and pharmacies nationally.

Clean & Clear Deep Action In-Shower Facial

Hi all,
Clean & Clear is a great skincare brand that delivers all the best results. A lot of people associate Clean & Clear with teenagers and think that it is only for that age range. But Clean & Clear is great for all ages!
The product I want to show you today is so innovative; there is not another product like this on the market. It is the Clean & Clear Deep Action In-Shower Facial. A lot of people are really busy and don't have the time to use extra products. If I want to use a scrub, I only use it in the shower because I don't have time otherwise. The packaging is bright and appealing and has a nice dispenser. With the product, you apply it on like a face mask but instead of rinsing it off after waiting, you gently exfoliate your skin and then rinse it off. It's like a facial and scrub in one! Awesome! The facial benefits your skin in three ways;

1. It detoxifies - The product has a deep purifying formula which works with the steam of your shower to deeply cleanse the pores. The formula contains natural fruit acids which is nice.
2. It smoothes - The exfoliating beads in the product take away dead surface skin.
3. It softens - The formula contains natural skin conditioners to make the skin soft and smooth.

The consistency of it is really unique. In-Shower Facial is creamy and thick but you also know that it is going to be super exfoliating. I really enjoyed this product because it is a super convenient alternative to a facial. The product definitely made my skin healthier, smoother and softer and was really exfoliating.
This product retails for $10.79 from leading supermarkets, variety stores and pharmacies nationally.

Be Party Ready with Scholl Party Feet! Review

Hi beauties,
Christmas is coming so soon - just 7 sleeps to go! And so is the Party Season. I have some Scholl products from their Party Feet range to ensure that you are partying in comfort!

Scholl Party Feet Invisible Gel Heel Shields
This product protects heels from shoes slipping and rubbing. This packet contains one pair of shields ideal for closed-back shoes. The packaging is very nice and simple and makes it very easy to carry the product in. The heel shields are clear gel. They are so discreet and ultra slim that no-one will know they are there. The shields stay firmly in place and provide cushioning and protection for a long amount of time. Heel Shields are specially shaped for a comfortable fit around the heel, making it so comfy and easy to wear. The product can be not only used for heels! It is really comfortable and is super easy to put on.
RRP $9.95

Scholl Party Feet Invisible Gel Cushions
This product helps to prevent the burning pain in the balls of your feet. The packet contains one pair of cushions ideal for all high heels and sandals. The packaging again is really nice and simple and is convenient for storing. The cushions also are clear gel; they are really thin and you can't even notice them. It has a non-slip grip so the cushions stay firmly in place. This is great as I hate when cushioons slide around in your shoes. The product is washable and re-usable which is super handy. Gel Cushions are really comfortable and really help to prevent pain.
RRP $9.95

Scholl Party Feet Foldable Ballet Flats
When you can not stand to wear heels anymore because of the pain, then this product is for you. It is the perfect product for shoe emergencies. Ballet Flats are designed for short term wear ONLY, to help relieve tired aching feet. The flats are so convenient because they fold up neatly in your handbag. The packaging is really practical aswell because it is so compact and is resealable so you can put the flats back in the pouch. The flats have elastic trim and a stretchable upper for good fit. The product is so great because it has a slip-resistant sole and padded full length insoles for ultimate comfort.
RRP $9.95

Storage for small make-up collections

Hi all,
Not everyone has a large make-up collection. You may be just starting out or have a small collection that you use all the time. I have a post for you guys today which gives you a great suggestion on how to store your make-up.
My sister has a small collection. She was going through her jewellery when I came up with the idea to use the jewellery box as make-up storage.

This is super easy to do and looks great at the end!

New from Innoxa! Review

Hi beauties!
So I have two new products from Innoxa which I am so eager to share with you guy today. The first product is the Innoxa Tinted Moisturiser in Fair. I have already done a post on this product already (which you can view here!) but there is a new shade. Fair is great for people with light skin. I do have fair skin and this suited me perfectly. I have tried it out and it gives just the right amount of coverage but still letting your skin breathe which I love. It has super sleek packaging and the product is of superb quality. The tinted moisturiser is great for the no-makeup look. I use this product all the time because it is just so quick and easy to put on. I love it! It also has SPF15 which show how it is such a multipurpose product. This product retails for $19.95.

The other new product is the Innoxa Ultimate Lash Mascara in Black. The packaging of the product is really sleek and simple which I enjoy a lot. The mascara curls your lashes and adds a lot of volume to them. The formula is buildable which is fantastic. But what I really like about this mascara is that it is smudge-free, water resistant and clump-free. This is perfect for Summer! Humidity ingredients help to prevent lashes from flattening to create wider lashes that are long-lasting. The mascara really did give me fuller and longer lashes. I loved it! This product also retails for $19.95.
You can purchase both of these products from David Jones, Myer, Priceline, Terry White Chemists, My Chemist, Chemist Warehouse and leading pharmacies nationally.

 

On Innoxa's website, they currently have an offer - free product with every purchase!

My Go-To Pimple Cream ft. Clearasil

Hi all,
I have been using a new pimple cream for my blemishes. I don't have acne, I just have a few pimples every now and then. The new product I tested out is Clearasil Daily Clear Vanishing Pimple Clearing Cream and it is my new favourite. I've tried one or two of their products before and am very pleased with Clearasil. This product is specially developed to help clear pimples and prevent new ones from forming. I think this is exactly what a pimple cream should do. A lot of them don't do this! The packaging is quite attractive and simple. You can tell from the look of it that the product is going to be good. The cream is a nice, thick consistency and is colourless. The product fastly absorbs and deeply penetrates into the pores. It then removes bacteria that can cause pimples and clears the skin without over-drying. The product definitely did clear up my skin but it didn't dry my skin out. The blemishes reduced in size and redness and eventually vanished. This all happened very quickly. I am very happy with this product. The quality of it is fantastic.

 

 

RRP $9.99 from pharmacies and supermarkets nationally.
