Shave like never before with Schick's Hydro Silk

Hi all,
I just tried out Shick Hydro Silk razor and had to review for you today. This is a new product out on the Aussie beauty market. Shick Hydro Silk is Shick's first five-blade razor for women and leverages seven years of blade technology to deliver Shick's closest shave yet. This product comes with one razor with blade, one refill and a shower hanger. Hydro Silk is designed specifically for the curves of a woman's body.

This razor contains five Curve Sensing blades which are individually mounted. This allows the specially designed blade tips to flow smoothly over the skin and are designed to decrease the amount of force required when shaving. There is also a Skin Guard on top of each blade to maintain ten points of contact to skin smooth while shaving and reduce irritation.

The aspect that makes this product so unique is its Water Activated Moisturising Serum. This is found within the two contoured reservoirs in the head of the razor and is infused with hydrating marine extracts and Shea butter to give back moisture to your skin for up to two hours after shaving. The oval shape and dimensions of the cartridge easily fits into hard to reach areas and makes it easy to maneuver around contours. The soft touch handle is inspired by water for a beautiful look and makes it easy to control. You now get surprising hydration from your razor. The razor is so perfect. You get silky, smooth skin from this product and it makes it so easy to control and use. The shower hanger is great to hold the razor. I absolutely love the hydrating serum which makes shaving so easy and makes my skin so soft. I really love this razor and am definitely going to keep using it.

 

The purifying Facial Fresh Tea Tree Mask

Hi everyone,
This is the final review for the Facial Fresh masks for now (I know it is sad). Facial Fresh Tea Tree Cloth Facial Treatment Mask is described as cleansing, purifying and clarifying. Again like the other masks, it is so convenient because you can experience a salon treatment within minutes. The mask uses the most advanced skin enhancing cosmeceutical ingredients. The packaging is simple and fresh and each mask are hygienically sealed. This mask is wonderful for skin suffering from congestion, clogged pore, mild breakouts or blemishes. Wow, this is great! It deeply cleanses and detoxifies the skin of impurities, without stripping natural vital oils. You can just tell that it is going to be great! I applied and used it normally. Like the other two, it was soaked in the serum, therefore being quite wet, and felt really refreshing on my face. After waiting fifteen minutes and patting and wiping the excess serum off using a cotton pad, my skin felt great. It felt clean, purified and quite fresh. It felt just like Spring; starting again and clean! I really do like this mask for several reasons. Firstly, it is so convenient that I can have it on while watching television and on the computer. Also it is great for my oily t-zone skin. Finally, it left my skin so smooth, soft and clean. Thanks Facial Fresh. You did it again!

Manicare's Awesome Tools - Maxi Buff, Tweezers and Concealer Brush

Manicare is the ultimate brand for beauty tools. I have three products from Manicare to review for you today.
The first product is Manicare Retractable Travel Concealer Brush. This brush is so portable and great for travel and also is retractable. The product is ideal for covering dark circles, blemishes and any other imperfections. The size of the product is so convenient. The brush has a tapered head for spot application and blending in concealer. You can use the tip for small areas and use the flat side for larger areas. The product comes with a lid to avoid mess and not snag the bristles. The concealer you use can be powder, liquid, cream or stick. It is made with fine quality soft synthetic bristles which makes it super soft. This product makes it so easy to apply concealer. You can just throw it in your handbag or keep in your car for on-the-go touch ups. This product is just so convenient and great.
RRP $9.95

The next product is Manicare Ultimate Point Tweezers. This product is made with perfectly aligned, hand crafted ultra fine tips for ultimate precision. Using high quality anti-corrosive Japanese stainless steel with a contoured grip for control. This product is ideal for easy removal of short, fine or ingrown hair and splinters. This product comes with a protective case which is great for carrying around and for travel. The tweezers really work well and are of good quality. I really like these.
RRP $8.95

The final product is Manicare Maxi Buffer. This product buffs and shines natural nails without the use of nail polish. It has extra flexible cushioning which is fantastic. There are three parts to this buffer. The black smooths away ridges and stains. The white creates a satin finish on the nails and the grey achieves a super natural shine. It has so many benefits in one product. I love it. This is also a product with such convenience which you can throw in your purse and use when on-the-go. This is something that is always handy - I know for me that this is a boredom killer. The buffer is just of such good quality and is great value.
RRP $9.30

Le Tan is Crazy for Coconut!

This season Le Tan have launched an innovative coconut tanning range. Hooray! Le Tan is my absolute favourite tanning brand.
Le Tan Coconut Tanning Gel is a clear gradual tanning gel that develops in just four hours. That is fantastic. It creates a nice streak-free and flawless tan. The formula contains Vitamin E to hydrate the skin. This light, non-sticky formula leaves skin feeling really smooth yet bronzed.

Le Tan Coconut Tanning Cream is an update of the much loved Le Tan Original Tanning Cream. The white cream is light and easy to spread for an even and streak-free tan. It develops in just hours and is natural-looking. The tan is long-lasting and fades like a natural tan.

Both leave skin looking golden and smelling delicious and retail for $12.99.

Artiste Brushes - They are the best!

Hi beauties,
Artiste have a really nice range of brushes. Today I am reviewing several of their brushes. These three brushes seem to all be from the same collection. All the brushes I am reviewing look really cool and attractive as they hues of blue, pink, orange and other colours throughout the products. Like
Cosmetica, all the brushes come in their own sleeve which is great for travel and other purposes.

The first brush is Artiste Creme Blush/Bronzer. It is ideal for cheek tints and liquid bronzers to give a nice, dewy look. This product aims to create a gorgeous glow. The brush itself is very wide but thin making it so easy to apply blush and bronzer. The packaging is so simple but is very appealing. It is very versatile and has several purposes; you can use it to apply liquid, powder or cream blush and bronzer as well as other powders and face products. The bristles are so nice and soft. You can be really precise when using this product. Also, I find this brush to be very portable, convenient and great for travel.

The next brush is Artiste Foundation/Concealer. It is used mainly for foundation and concealer to give a flawless finish. The shape of the brush is so unique as it is like a dome shape; it comes to a point at the top. Also, it is quite thick and dense. The packaging is also cute and simple. It is a multi-functional tool to cover large areas but still being really precise in application. The brush is really easy to use and easy to apply foundation and concealer. To apply concealer, you just use the tip. This is very travel-friendly.

The last brush is Artiste Creme Eye. This brush is ideal for creating sultry eyes. The brush is just your standard eye brush, in regards to size. The soft tapered bristles mould to the eyelid allowing concentrated creme eye colour to be applied easily. The brush makes it so so easy to apply eyeshadow and applies it to the eyelid well. It is really really soft like all the others and has such precision. I think the product is really portable and great for travel.

I love Manicare GlamEyes Kourtney Lashes

Behold beautiful lashes! Manicare GlamEyes Femme Fatale Kourtney Lashes are just lovely. Glam is a range of nail kits, fashion eyelashes, cosmetics and accessories by Manicare.

 

The packaging of the eyelashes are simple yet glamorous. Kourtney Lashes are inspired by Kourtney Kardashian (my favourtie Kardashian). The lashes are quite long and thick but are not too dramatic. The product is lined with glitter. I find that this is such as nice touch which makes any party look complete. The lashes come with pre-applied adhesive and hypo-allergenic adhesive. This product is of great quality. The lashes are really easy to use and apply. These are ideal for nights out and other occasions. They are so great because they are too dramatic for everyday use but less dramatic for wearing once every six months. I just really really love these because they are so practical yet luscious. The lashes really enhance your eyes and look fantastic on. I will definitely be using these again.
RRP $11.95
Available from Priceline, Myer, Target, Big W, K-Mart and leading pharmacies.

The lovely Facial Fresh Green Tea Cloth Mask

Hi all,
I have already reviewed the Facial Fresh Vitamin C Cloth Facial Treatment Mask which has led me to high expectations for the Green Tea Mask. And this mask has definitely not let me down. All Facial Fresh's masks are so revolutionary and innovative because they provide a spa treatment within the comfort of your own home. The packaging is really simple and nice - a cardboard sleeve enclosing the hygienically packaged cloth mask. The cloth mask is saturated in serum which makes it really wet. Like the other product from Facial Fresh, Green Tea Cloth Facial Treatment Mask contains advanced skin enhancing cosmeceutical ingredients. This includes clinically proven anti-oxidants, vitamins and botanicals. The Green Tea Mask instantly soothes and relaxes stressed, irritated and uncomfortable skin. Green Tea helps neutralise and protect cell from free radical damage and environmental exposure. When you put on the mask, your skin feels really refreshing. During the fifteen minutes of having the mask on, I felt my skin was calm and relaxed. The mask really is soothing. Afterwards, my skin was smooth, soft, as well as tight. My skin also felt healthy. I love this mask because it is great for soothing stressed skin. Well done Facial Fresh!
RRP $8.95

Ulta3 Review: Mascara, Eyeliner and Lipsticks

Hi beauties,
I am excited to review four products for you from the brand Ulta3. So let's get started.

The first product is Ulta3 Liquid Eyeliner in Black. The packaging is simple but super cute featuring a predominately black tube with white flowers. It contains a lot of product for a liquid eyeliner which is great. The product comes with a very fine applicator, making it so easy to apply. The formula itself is quite long-lasting and smudge-proof. I think Ulta3 Liquid Eyeliner is ideal for putting on the lash rim with mascara. You get a nice and precise application with this product. The product retails as $6.95 which is fantastic for an eyeliner of such great quality. I mean this a superb product without the expensive price tag.

The next product I'm reviewing is the Ulta3 The Big Mascara in Very Black. Again, this product features the same cute packaging but is more shorter and wider than the liquid eyeliner. The applicator is really nice and great for volumising the lashes. The mascara creates big, thick, long and luscious lashes. It makes you look wide-eyed. The formula doesn't smudge. I think that this mascara is really well worth the small fortune you pay. For $6.95 you are getting a really good mascara.

The final product from Ulta3 is Ulta3 Lipstick in Tickled Pink and Light Candy. These products are really great. The packaging is simple and nice. The lipstick actually has a nice scent to it which is a plus. The formula doesn't dry out your lips and is not really thick. Light Candy is a lovely cotton candy pink and Tickled Pink is a true pink. They both contain shimmer in them and are really nice shades that match any look you are wearing. Again, it retails for a great price at $3.95 but is so good in quality. I think they are both so natural and are lip products that I will definitely be wearing regularly.

Cosmetica Brush Reviews

Hi all,
Cosmetica is a great brand that provides people with fantastic brushes. I have three eye brushes to review today. Before I go into each brush individually, all these brushes came with a nice and useful clear packaging to reuse for other purposes.
 

Cosmetica Mascara Brush
RRP $3.95

When you first hold the brush, you can tell it is of good quality. The size of the brush makes it so portable as the brush is thin. The product is used to apply any mascara on. The applicator makes it really easy and simple to create more dramatic lashes. Usually, when applying mascara I have to get a brow comb and comb out my lashes to separate them. With this I didn't really need to because the brush separates and lifts my eyelashes. The product itself looks simple and appealing. I think this brush is so cheap and is so lovely and great.

Cosmetica Large Eyeshadow Brush
RRP $15.95

 

This brush is also good quality and is more thick than the other product. The bristles are made from pony hair and as a result is so soft. I love how soft it is. The brush is quite large which is so lovely. It is used to apply all eye shadows on your eye. The product is so so versatile; you can apply colour to the whole lid, shade creases, highlight the brow bone, as well as creating endless looks. You can do all this with a few strokes. This is so great for travel because you can use this one brush for many looks. Again, the product looks visually attractive. I love how affordable it is yet how it is such good quality.

Cosmetica Pointed Eyeliner Brush
RRP $12.95

This product is thinner like the mascara brush and is again so convenient and portable. The bristles are made of nylon. It is used to apply all different eyeliners. Pointed Eyeliner Brush is in a pointed shape. It is quite stiff but is less hard at the tip for ultimate control. The tip is so thin so you can achieve a nice thin line of liner. Also it is ideal for controlling the thickness of liner. The product is great for liquid eyeliners, micro concealing, adding highlights and embedding eye shadow right into the lash line. It made it more easy to apply eyeliner. I really like this brush as it really does help, doesn't break the bank and looks appealing.
