love the packaging, leave it to benefit to come up with cutest packaging possible. To BB or not to BB that has been my question since the emergence of Beauty Balms onto the market in Australia. To me the whole idea of the BB cream was not a new one and a lot of the […]

That will last and last… I love a glossy lip but find that I often need to keep applying and keep applying all day. Applying a pigmented product on the go can be tricky and messy (I hate colouring outside the lines) so I find that using a couple of layers of sheer product makes […]

Those of us who live in humid weather, have oily skin, allergies or are chronic eye rubbers know the pain in the butt moment of checking yourself in the mirror and finding mascara smudging, slipping and flaking and giving you that telltale panda eyes look.

isnt it pretty!, but notice the amount of highlighter compared to actual pigmented blush? Ok, so I caved. I had no intention of getting this as I have more than enough shades of blush in every formula known to man, but I caved and so many people were showing it off on instagram and boasting […]

Only in the beauty world could a long lasting stain be considered something good! And today’s post focusses on comparing two long wearing, rose coloured staining tints. In one corner we have the cult beauty product from Benefit, Benetint and in the other a relatively new comer on the Australian beauty scene Thebalm with their […]

So.. it turns out I like highlighters I was recently tagged by Lipstick addict to show all my favourite highlighters. I guess you might say that I’m a bit of a highlighter/illuminator afficionado!

Lashes for days! I think I might have found a new HG! This mascara gave me longer and more separated lashes than any high end mascara ever did. A close second is the HG lashes from Clinique which has been discontinued! It’s such a shame that this never seemed to be released here in Australia. […]
