Cosmecology Tonic Skin Lotion

Hi everyone,

Cosmeocology Paris is a very nice skincare brand which I really enjoy. The product I wanted to review today is the Cosmecology Tonic Skin Lotion. This product is a toner that can be used on the skin at

after cleansing. This product is very large and has nice, clean and simple. I really enjoy the packaging as it is sleek and you get bang for your buck. The toner has a very nice clean and floral scent. It is do good! The consistency of the product is very thin and is liquid. The product can also be used to refresh the skin throughout the day which I thoroughly enjoyed. This product is ideal for balancing the skin after removing makeup of cleansing the skin. It sure did do this. My skin felt balanced and wasn't dry or oily. The toner also contains chamomile extract. This helps to refresh the skin and is soothing and calming. My skin felt really smooth and clean afterwards which I loved. The product can be used by applying to the face and neck with cotton wool. The results of this product were very enjoyable. My skin felt revitalised and clean, as well as refreshed. It also left my skin feeling smooth and soft. It is suitable for all types of skin.

Battle of the Cleansers: Biore Combo Skin Balancing Cleanser vs. Biore 4-in-1 Revitalising Cleanser

Hi everyone,
Today we have a showdown of the Biore cleansers! Who will win? Biore's Combination Skin Balancing Cleanser or Biore's 4-in-1 Revitalising Cleanser. Let the battle begin!

Today we have two competitors battling it out to win the ultimate title here at the showground of Beauty Fix blog. First competitor in the arena is Biore Combination Skin Balancing Cleanser.
This cleanser is formulated with Skin Purifying Technology which  deep cleans oily t-zones while cleansing drier areas of the skin, giving the face a balanced skin tone.

The next competitor versing this lovely product is the Biore 4-in-1 Revitalising Cleanser. This cleanser purifies, tones, stimulates and detoxifies skin without leaving the skin feeling tight.

The first category today that the competitors will be competing in today is the showdown of packaging. Both products have similar packaging and are both not travel-friendly (I know with this type of packaging, I tend to get nervous that it will leak in my suitcase). The Combination Skin Cleanser features a very handy pump and looks very sleek and simple. The Revitalising Cleanser also features a convenient pump but has a more of an irregular shaped bottle which is nice. Other than that, both products are the same - they have a nice look to them which draws your attention to the products. I am thoroughly enjoying the new look Biore has!
So the results of this round...A TIE!

The second round for this battle today is consistency. I am looking for a really nice consistency that I know will work nicely with my skin. The Combination Skin Cleanser has a very, very nice thick, gel-like consistency that feels very gentle yet thorough. To go along with this is the product's lovely, fresh scent. The Revitalising Cleanser also has a great consistency. In contrast to the first product, this cleanser is a lightweight foam that also has Biore's great scent. The battle of this category is really up to personal preference.
So the winner of this round is...Combination Skin Cleanser!

The battle is now heating up and the next category today is ingredients. Both products contain great ingredients that benefit the skin. The Combination Skin Cleanser is equipped with this Skin Purifying Technology. This ingredient removes all impurities from the skin but doesn't take away the skin's moisture, which is necessary in evening your skin tone. The Revitalising Skin Cleanser contains very natural ingredients. There is sugarbeet extract in it to condition the skin and help retain its moisture and there is also green tea and eucalyptus which provides an ultra cooling sensation. This round is a tough one but I will probably have to go with all naturale!
This winner is...Revitalising Cleanser!

The fourth round in this battle is all about how it works. The Combination Skin Cleanser builds up into a really nice lather. The cleanser is so effective in which it is so thorough yet so gentle. It left my skin feeling really balanced out - it felt not oily yet not dry! My skin felt so smooth and soft, as well as clean, afterwards. The Revitalising Skin Cleanser also really lathered up nicely with the foamy consistency. It felt like it was really doing its job but was not harsh on my skin at all. The product left my skin feeling so soft and smooth after using it and also it felt refreshed and clean. Both of these products really did their job and promote healthy skin.
The results of this round is...A TIE!

The battle is now coming to an end. And to conclude this battle, I have one more round...Price! Both cleansers are so affordable and of good value. The Combination Skin Cleanser is $10.99 for 200ml and the Revitalising Cleanser is $12.99 for 198ml. Also they both last for a quite a while so it is really good value. You can purchase both of these from Priceline, Target, Big W, Coles, Woolworths and Pharmacies.
So the winner of the final round is...Combination Skin Cleanser.

Before I announce the winner of the battle, I want to say that both of these cleansers are amazing. I would choose both to be winners if I could! It basically comes down to your personal preference. So if I was you, I would give both of these great cleansers a try.

AND THE WINNER IS...BIORE COMBINATION SKIN BALANCING CLEANSER!

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.

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!

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.

Get smooth legs with Veet Wax Strips

Hi everyone,
So we are in the middle of Summer and smooth legs are a Summer essential! How do you get hairless and smooth legs? By using this fantastic product. It is Veet EasyGrip Ready-to-Use Wax Strips.

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. What is so amazing about this is that the product has a new short hair claim and is therefore able to remove hair 1.5mm long!

The product gives you long lasting results. Your skin stays touchable smooth for up to four weeks. These wax strips remove your hair at the root and are also clinically proven to make hairs grow back fewer, finer and softer. Wow, I like this! It is effective on short hair. It grabs hair as short as 1.5mm! What I really enjoy about this product is that it cares for your skin type. These EasyGrip Strips are for sensitive skin and are dye free. They contain Almond Oil and Vitamin E which are both well-known for their skin caring properties.

The wax strips were really easy to use and apply. Afterwards, they gave me really good results. My legs were nice and hairless and were super smooth. The smoothness lasted for a couple of weeks and I was very impressed.
This product retails for $10.99 from supermarkets and pharmacies nationally.

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.

December Favourite! John Frieda 3-Day Straight

Hi everyone,
First off, I hope everyone have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I wish you all the best for 2013!

During December, I have been using a product a lot. And I am absolutely loving it. This product is the John Frieda Frizz-Ease 3-Day Straight Styling Spray. This is a semi-permanent styling spray which creates visibly straighter hair for up to three days and also blocks out frizz with keratin protein. How does that sound? Fantastic, to me! The packaging of this product is really cute and unique as it resembles a spray bottle. This dispenser is superb and has a lock system which is super handy. The formula is revolutionary as it is heat-activated with keratin protein which wraps each strand to seal in longer lasting straightness. The formula is weightless and does not weigh the hair down at all. What I really like about this product is that it also protects your hair from heat damage and blocks frizz.

So how do you use this spray? Well, you spray the product between seven to fourteen times on wet or damp hair and comb it through. You then blow dry your hair and straighten your hair in sections afterwards. It is just that easy! I do when I get out of the shower and it doesn't take a long time. Afterwards, minimal heat touch up is required.

The results? My hair did stay straight for three days and it looked great. I didn't look frizzy at all and in fact looked very healthy and glossy. I absolutely love this product because it your straighten your hair regularly, you only have to do it every three days. And it doesn't damage your hair at all - it does the total opposite. I really recommend everyone to go out and buy this product because it is just so amazing!
RRP $16.99 from Priceline, Target, Coles, Woolworths and selected pharmacies.

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.

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.

Gorgeous Ecostore Coconut Soap!

Hi everyone,

 

Prior to trying out the soap, I have never heard of the brand Ecostore. I love this brand! Ecostore comes from New Zealand and makes products which are better for your own health and the health of the planet. I just love this idea! Ecostore's Coconut Soap is delicious. The packaging is super cute and looks homemade and adorable. The soap itself is nice and simple. One feature that really influences whether I like a body product is the scent. This soap is scrumptious. It smells creamy and very much like coconut. This product is really creamy and lathers up nicely. Coconut Soap contains strands of coconut to gently exfoliate the skin which is great. This soap is plant and mineral based which cleanses and nourishes the skin but doesn't remove the skin's natural protective oils. Also the product uses vegetable oils instead of commonly used animal fats. It contains no nasty ingredients at all. Afterwards, my skin felt so smooth and soft, as well as nourished. The scent is great, their are no nasty ingredients and it benefits my skin greatly! I love it!

 

RRP $3 from www.ecostoreaustralia.com.au

I love Facial Fresh Vitamin C Cloth Facial Treatment Mask!

I'm impressed with Facial Fresh's Vitamin C Cloth Facial Treatment Mask. This mask is described as 'Energising, Brightening, Invigorating' and it is definitely that. Facial Fresh's masks' are an innovative, revolutionary way to give your skin all the benefits of a spa treatment within minutes. It uses the most advanced skin enhancing cosmeceutical ingredients (wow) including clinically proven anit-oxidants, vitamins an botanicals to saturate your skin with a precise dose of fresh concentrated serum. Each face mask is hygenically sealed in individual packaging. The product brightens and energises dull skin with a boost of youthful radiance. Vitamin C has immediate invigorating effects, leaving the skin looking clear, revitalised and glowing. Vitamin C also helps nourish and protect skin cells. Facial Fresh Vitamin C Cloth Facial Treatment Mask is suitable for ALL skin types. To use, you prepare by deep cleaning your skin. Once you take it out of the product, you put in on your face. The cloth mask is very,very wet and provides holes for your mouth and eyes and a slit for your nose. When you put it on, it is so refreshing and feels like it is filled with moisture. You keep it on your face for fifteen minutes or longer. After, you remove the mask and discard it. I then patted the serum into my skin with a clean cotton pad and wiped off excess with another cotton pad. Afterwards, my skin felt vibrant and energised. It had tight feeling and was smooth and soft. My skin was also clearer and less oily. You can purchase the mask in a single packet ($8.95) or as a pack of three ($32.85 $26.95) on their website. I loved, loved, loved this mask!

I love Buxom lip glosses!

Hi everyone,
A while ago, I went to Hawaii! It was fabulous. Again, I was able to go to Sephora which is amazing. I love everything they have to offer. I had a list planned out of everything I wanted to buy, but of course that did not go to plan at all. I am kind of happy it didn't because I bought two Buxom lip glosses that I will never regret buying.

The two I have are diamond lip glosses. This means that they have extra sparkle than the normal ones. It just so happened that I like the colours of the diamond ones. By the way, there are only two diamond shades. The first one I got was Clair which  I bought to pair up with my MAC Viva Glam V Lipstick (let me know in the comments below if you are interested in me doing a review on it). It is a really natural pinky/mauve colour. Buxom Big and Healthy Lip Polish in Clair doesn't exactly match the MAC lipstick but I paired them together because I wanted a more pinky lipgloss to go over the top. I find that I can wear it over the lipstick or by itself.
The second lip polish I bought was in the shade Starr. I think that this was a impulse buy because I purchased it on the last night. Even though, I wanted to explore more brands, I was attracted to Buxom's line and lip products. Starr is more of a dark pink/red colour which I would wear just by itself for a natural look.
The formula is really nice. It has a vanilla scent to it and plumps your lips. If you don't like the slight tingling feeling on your lips, then this gloss is not for you. I don't really mind it, so it is great. I think the product lasts long your lips too. The packaging is really nice and sleek. I would have to say that this is my FAVOURITE LIP GLOSS EVER!

Favourite Posts of 2011!

Hi everyone,
I hope you had a fantastic Christmas! Sorry, I haven't been posting lately due to this festive and busy season. Happy New Year too! I saw on Burt's Bees Twitter a picture and it was saying if you go into a room, away from everyone before midnight, go back to them after midnight and say, "I haven't seen you since last year!" I am totally trying this.

Just a reminder that the Herbal Essence Giveaway closes tomorrow! Enter before time runs out!

Anyway this post is about your favourite posts on Beauty Fix 2011. I started this blog six months ago and it has really blossomed. Thanks to all you readers for making it be a success.

So your top five favourite posts of 2011 are:
1. My View On: Rolling Makeup Cases from Dance Moms

At this time, I was in the middle of watching Dance Moms. This post is on my thoughts of these Rolling Makeup Cases on this show. There were two different types; one with a table and lights and a one without a table and lights. I actually purchased the second type of case and I love it. I store all my general makeup in there.

2. Happy 100th Post: Dance Makeup

As I have been into dancing for a long time, I know what makeup you need. This post was an insight to a dancer's makeup kit. It is basically what I take for dancing. That was basically it!

3. Le Tan Review: Coconut Oil SPF 30+

I thoroughly enjoyed this product and by the sounds of it you readers did too! I wanted to review Le Tan's Coconut Oil as it was getting closer and closer to Summer and it was the coverage I needed to stay sun smart. I really like this product!

4. Red Meow Brands are Up!

Red  Meow is a sampler box service that provides a monthly beauty subscription. I heard about several of these boxes and found that this service had the best brands and I wanted to share that with you. But, they haven't launched it yet. Their website isn't even up. So I found other great boxes such as ilovethisbox.com.au and have moved on.

5. Facial Wash Challenge: Welcome

This post was a welcome to introduce the readers to a new series of blog posts. I had several cleansers that I never tried and it was time to use them and also review them. My favourite was the Neutrogena Pink Grapefruit Acne Facial Wash (I think that is what it is called?!).

So that is it! If I don't post before New Years, Happy 2012!
