Rushed Mornings? Beauty Shortcuts

Hi beauties,Don't you hate those days when you wake up late and rush through your beauty routine, missing out on steps, but still turning up late to your destination? Me too! Well, here are some beauty products that make it (nearly) impossible to run late.

1. Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser
The first skincare shortcut is a cleanser. I like this cleanser because it is gentle, suitable for all skin type and even removes light make-up. The time saving quality of this product is that you can use it without water. How handy?!

2. Trilogy Vital Moisturising Cream SPF15
This product is of high quality and doubles up as a moisturiser and sunscreen. It cuts down time and you don't have to be putting on two layers of creams.

3. Batiste Dry Shampoo
This product can be your lifesaver. Normally, if your hair is really greasy or dirty, you would take a shower, which takes up time. With this product, you can just spray all over and it refreshes your hair. It makes you feel confident and you can just have the shower when you get home!

4. Maybelline Fit Me! Powder
The first make-up short cut is a powder/foundation. This powder is really good and has a nice consistency. It takes more time to use a liquid or cream foundation than a powder foundation. So it doubles up to give you a matte finish and good coverage.

5. Hard Candy Fox in a Box
This product is so good for a short cut. The powder has four shades so you can use it as a blush, bronzer, highlighter or just for some colour. All you need is this compact box for a nice, glowing face.

6. Australis Lip Butter
The last shortcut is a lip butter. Australis had created a really nice lip butter that is so moisturising and has cute packaging. The shades give a subtle but nice colour to your lips. You are moisturising your lips and giving them a bit of a tint at the same time.

Spotlight Post: Your Question Answered!

 

Hi everyone!

So I recently received a question from a great viewer of Beauty Fix! I thought I should do a post to answer this!

"Anonymous said:
I am looking for a make up mirror like above. Do not need the suit case. Any options you found for just the mirror and lights?

Thanks"
There are not many of these out there. But I found two different alternatives.

The first alternative is the Lighted Vanity Makeup Desk. I found one onn Vanity Girl Hollywood but I do not know if it ships to Australia. The desk is quite pricey. The product is $749 and comes in black and white.

The second option is if you want the table for on-the-go and affordable. You can buy a nice fold away table and buy a light up mirror. The table can be purchased from Ikea, Fantastic Furniture etc. The light up mirror can be bought from many stores such as Bing Lee.

I hope that this answers your question!



Inside My Travel Make-up Bag

Hey,
So this is showing what I would take in my travel bag. I usually travel to the US, so I generally don't pack a lot of make-up!

First I have my Sephora Make-up Bag. It is so nice and holds a lot.

This is my Revlon Travel Brush set. I like it because the set is so compact and is of good quality.

Next, I have my travel Benefit That Gal Primer which is great for keeping my foundation on all day.

This is my Loreal Paris Magic Smooth Souffle foundation which I love. The jar is really bulky so I would put it in a travel jar!

Next is my Clinique Acne Clearing Concealer and Maybelline Fit Me! Powder - must haves.

This is the Hard Candy Fox in a Box. It is good for blush, bronzer and just a nice colour!

I have travel Benefit Bad Gal Lash Mascara and Clinique High Lengths Mascara for different levels of drama.

Lastly, I have my Australis Colour Inject Mineral Lip gloss in Bellydance, for a playful look, and my GlamLips lip gloss in Summer Love, for a natural look.

Australis' Crystal Colour Top Coat

Hey everyone,
Today I'm reviewing Australis' new nail product. The Crystal Colour Top Coat in Speck-Tacular adds a whole new glitter dimension to anyone's nails! This product is holographic, light reflecting and a foil top coat. It makes your nails the perfect accessory for anywhere and anytime.

This nail polish is perfect for any type drama; I like it by itself for subtle nails or over a polish for more drama. Crystal Colour Top Coat works best under a black nail polish (try Australis Nail Colour in Blackmail). It is really nice because there are little specks of glitter on your nails. Australis' new nail product has a great shine and catches the light, as well as reflecting it! I think it is super cute!

Product Information:
Australis Crystal Colour Top Coat in Speck-Tacular
Available from 6th February
RRP $8.95
From Big W, Kmart, Priceline, Target and selected pharmacies.

ILoveThisBox.com.au February Opening (Review of Box)

Hey,

I have been quite busy lately and managed to squeeze in this post about the ILoveThisBox! I was really excited to receive this on Friday!

As you know, I like the outer box as it protects the products and the inner box is very nice and sturdy.

The theme is obviously Valentine's Day. I love the themes; they are so cute. As you can see, there is red tissue paper secured with a red heart sticker!

Again, the greeting card is super cute and informative!

This is what the box looked like when I opened it. I was suprised and really happy to see a full box! 

 Here is the Tip of the Month. If you don't know, I think these are great. They match a product in that month's box.

 The first product is Elizabeth Arden Red Door. I was happy to get a fragrance because (a) it is a large sample size for a perfume; 10ml, (b) I like exploring new fragrance and (c) it suits Valentine's Day. The scent is quite mature but I still like it. Plus, the mini bottle is so so so so so so so so cute!

Keratinology by Sunsilk Overnight Treatment was the next product that I got in my box. This was a full size product - YAY! I think this will useful when my hair gets damaged so I can't wait to try it out!

The third product was nail file. It had a heart design on it to go with the theme. I like it and will be using it quite often.

Rimmel Lasting Finish Kiss & Stay Lip gloss was another full size product I received in the box. I have the shade called . The product features two complementary lip glosses designed to layer over one another. I swatched it and it really does stay.

The last product in February's Box is The Aromatherapy Co. Rose and Patchouli Hand and Nail Cream. This is another full size product. The packaging is nice, the scent is great and the hand cream does a pretty good job and moisturising my hands.

The Valentine's Day bonus were red jellybeans. They taste so yummy. How Cute?!

I really enjoyed this box again. Have a great week!
