Orly Mineral FX Rock It Swatches

2012-02-02T15:06:00.001+11:00

Orly released a fantastic collection in Australia late last year called Mineral FX and can I just say I was totally blown away at how pretty all the colours are. They are jam packed full of shimmer and 'Rock It' which is the colour I have from the collection was amazingly pigmented I really only needed one coat but just to make it last I added two. I find alot of the Orly polishes really pigmented.

Rock It - A Deep shimmery Magenta kind of reminds me of if you made Red wine into a nail polish than added a tone of shimmer you would get Rock it

Kardashian Kollection my thoughts and opinions

2011-11-12T22:52:00.000+11:00

Today whilst at my local shopping centre I popped into Strandbags and for those of you who aren't in Australia its a bag shop. Anyway I was just having a browse until something extremely bright,sparkly and Pink caught my eye. I picked up this clutch looking bag and to my dismay what do I see KK and in case you don't know what KK stands for its Kardashian Kollection. I was surprised I must tell you. I thought they were only going to be selling the line at David Jones.I didn't really see a whole lot from the collection only a bag,clutch and purse and to be completely honest with you it was just "meh" I mean don't get me wrong the colours and diamontes were super cute but nothing to say WOW over. To be brutally honest I kind of thought they were a little tacky and cheap looking. Kind of like something you would see at the markets for 15bux along with 100 other rip off label bags and purses (oh and trust me I'm all for those rip off bags I love my fake Chanels and Louis Vuittons cause I sure as hell wont be able to afford the real thing anytime soon )but like I said these were tacky. I kind of expected a little more from the Kardashians considering how extravagant and drama queenish (ye drama queenish I just made that up) they are. Kind of a let down. But ill let you be the judge here's the clutch and purse I spotted.

I must admit pricing was quite surprising the clutch was around $70ish and the purse $50 not bad I guess but I wouldn't even bother forking out anything for these two particular pieces. Maybe I'm just fussy actually scrub that I'm not fussy I just like spending money on things that are actually worth it and honestly I just don't see it in these two pieces.Ive only seen a few pieces up close and personal ill have to see some more of the collection I guess. Anyway Ive done enough blah blahing let me know in the comments below whats your thoughts on the Kardashian Kollection and will you be purchasing anything from it?

P.s What's you opinion on the Kim situation was the wedding one big publicity stunt or did she marry for love?

China Glaze Black Mesh And Orly Shine Mani

2011-10-01T20:41:00.000+10:00

Hi ladies

I finally got my hands on a China Glaze Crackle polish I've been wanting to try them out for ages so I finally ordered Black Mesh off Ebay. I thought Orly Shine would work perfect with the crackle and I must say I was impressed. This mani totally reminds me of Olivia from Jerseylicious. I'm loving the crackle affect I know most of you are probably so sick of seeing crackles but I really like the look it adds to certain polish colours. Anyway enough chit chat onto some pics.

Please excuse my non existent polish clean up.

LA Girl Color Addict Intoxicate

2011-09-15T02:41:00.001+10:00

Hi Ladies this was my first time trying the LA Girl range,I spotted this one at my local $2 shop and for $3.95AUD I thought why not! I'm glad I got it,Intoxicate is a deep eggplant shade with a bunch of gold shimmer through out. This is a very dark shade but I think it actually looks great on white skin its not as harsh as a black. I love the formula on the LA Girl polishes I think there a new fave. Have you tried LA Girl polishes? Any colour recommendation's? These first few pics are with flash.

Orly Happy Go Lucky Limited Edition Collection

2011-09-03T19:03:00.000+10:00

Hi Ladies

Orly has released a new collection in Australia for Spring called "Happy Go Lucky" here's a little info taken from the press release

Shift away from demure winter tones and step towards a more bubbly and carefree palette

WITH ORLY PROFESSIONAL NAIL CARE’S NEW LIMITED EDITION COLLECTION,

HAPPY GO LUCKY

These four new spring-fresh tones make it easy to achieve this season’s new trend – rainbow nails. ORLY Australia Creative Director Fiona Hay, says: “Rainbow nails are a new fun way to bring fashion to your fingers, experimenting with a different vibrant colour on each nail. We are also seeing the rise of ‘rebel nails’, which involves painting eight fingers in one shade and the other two in a contrasting bright tone.”

(L-R: Fresh, a luscious green crème; Flirty, a mischievous pink shimmer; Frisky an
aqua crème and Frolic for the divalicious purple crème lovers.)

I was lucky enough to try out Frolic and all I can say is Wow! A lovely purple creme very bright and super easy to apply. Actually this applied like a dream I love Orly's brush and there formula is always perfect. Frolic is really opaque which is a added bonus you could easily get away with one coat if your in a rush. I would have to say this is one of my fave Orly polishes. I'm a huge fan of purples and creme's so the two together are great! Please excuse my not so great pics I'm having a few camera problems.

China Glaze Second Hand Silk and Im Back!

2011-07-17T00:58:00.000+10:00

Why hello there,long time no blog! Sorry I've been gone for sooooo long ladies I've been dealing with some personal issues lately that would just make anyone too depressed to even hear about but Ive learnt that after every storm there is usually a rainbow and that's how its kind of been regarding my life. I went through something that was life changing but ended up having so many blessings after the storm! All I can say is Alhamdulillah (thanks/praise to God).

Ok now for a less dramatic intro I recently went to the nail supply store, unfortunately there really wasn't anything to exciting regarding new China Glaze colours. Australia is so slow when it comes to receiving China glaze collections, the nail supply store's most recent one was the 'Up and Away' collection yes you heard me most recent lol! The best way for us fellow Aussies is to buy online but unfortunately we end up paying double for each polish with the cost of postage grrr. Oh wow I really rave on don't I lol sorry ladies ok now to the polish China Glaze Second Hand Silk yeah I know its old, so old its from a collection from 2008! Old but gold I say, my pictures really don't do this colour justice at all, its more of a baby barbie pink that's a mouthful isn't it. Very girly,pretty and perfect for fair skin tones. As I said my photos really don't do this justice but I thought Id give you a little look anyway than maybe that way you could check out other swatches online and see just how pretty this colour really is.

And I just had to show off my latest ring I added to my collection I'm loving Turquoise jewellery

Hope your all doing great!

What's your fave China Glaze polish?

Lux Addiction Phone Cover Review

2010-11-24T01:22:00.000+11:00

I have something super blingy for you today,actually major bling.Its one of Lux Addictions custom made iphone covers.Firstly ill start off with the packaging the cover obviously comes in two parts back and front and they were packed in some protective plastic,than packed in a super cute silk bag all secured in a cardboard box with no way of escaping or getting damaged which I found to be fantastic specially when the cover appears to be so fragile.

Now you will notice I just mentioned fragile,you would think just by looking at the cover you would have to treat it as if it were the Queens crown,but actually even though the cover is totally covered in bling its really durable which comes as a suprise to me because most covers that have as much detail as this one usually fall straight off as soon as you throw it in your handbag, but that's wear Lux Addictions QUALITY really comes into play.

I did just about everything I could think of trying to get at least one crystal to fall off that included chucking it in my handbag while I shopped, shoving it in my tracksuit pant pocket as I cleaned around the house, and finally about an hour of App games.Not one crystal fell off, its now been a few months with the cover and still not one has fallen off maybe that was just my luck but honestly the crystals are extremely difficult to come off. Mind you Lux Addiction does throw in some extra crystals just in case one does fall off. I will admit depending on what style of cover you get it may be a little chunky due to major bling but hey personally I love that,oh and just be aware that your phone will be a serious show stopper every time you pull it out in public and not to mention the most sparkliest thing in the room!

Overall I absolutely love my case and my experience with Lux Addiction, fast shipping, excellent customer service and a reasonable price for something thats customed made.

And what can I say,I now have mini disco balls on my nails and guess what I love it!Orly will be releasing the Limited edition FOlL FX summer collection around October 2010 in Australia I think for the international ladies you gals have already been graced with this collection.There is 3 amazing shades in 'Luxe' which is a gold,'Rage' which is a rose gold and finally my favorite and the one I'm rocking now 'Shine' which is a silver.This collection is by far one of my faves, I really cant get over the sparkle and shine of this polish and it dried super fast,only needing 2 coats to give complete coverage no streaking whats so ever which you find alot in silver polishes, but nope this one was perfect! Anyway enough of my blabber feast your eyes on what you will be saying some major OMG I WANT THIS POLISH pictures below. Enjoy!

Eyeko Swatches

2010-08-14T00:14:00.000+10:00

Hi Ladies

I know you have probably seen these polishes about million times on other blogs,but of course I just had to share my pics and thoughts on them.The lovely Sophie at Eyeko sent these over to me a while ago now but I'm finally getting around to posting them up.I don't have a single complaint about Eyeko polishes, these 3 were PERFECT, I've only painted 1 coat so you can see how opaque they are, of course 2 is recommended 1 works well if your in a rush and need a little colour on your nails.I was just thinking to myself its amazing how a paint of the nails can totally brighten up your day and make your hands look that much more prettier.*Sigh* I will never get over my love affair with nail polish.

And to all the Muslimah ladies who are followers Ramadan Mubarak,I hope you have a blessed month.

Battle Of The MAC Pinks/Pinky Nude Lipsticks

2010-06-22T21:05:00.000+10:00

Im a huge fan of the pinky/pinky nudes and although these 4 colours are quite similar they are also so different if that makes sense.Angel and Creme Cup are pretty close,I can almost say they are dupes,Cut-ster and Hue are also very similar although Cut-Ster has a more lipglossy feel than a lipstick and it also has some added glitter aswell as being much more sheerer than Hue.Overall these 4 would have to be in my top10 favorite lipsticks,and yes I say 10 cause aswell as nailpolish I also have a hugeee weakness for lipstick!

Whats you favorite Lipstick Brand/Colour?

Are you after a certain swatch let me know in the comments and ill see if I have it!

Liz Earle Foot Care Range + Kits and Gifts

2010-06-06T20:38:00.000+10:00

Hi ladies

I'm back with another review on the Liz Earle foot care range.The range consists of 3 main products for perfectly pampered feet,great for a at home pedi and it really does end up working out cheaper.So lets get started!

Foot Scrub

I'm the type of person who has really rough feet,I have no idea why maybe its from the wrong shoes or something but all I know is they are so rough they are sharp and they are as dry as hell,now I will admit I'm a bit of a tight bum when it comes to spending 30 to 40 dollars on a pedi so when I received the foot scrub I was really happy.I tried it a few times and I did notice a huge difference but unfortunately my feet are still rough but I do think if I continue to use the foot scrub they will improve ill keep you posted.

Liz Earle says

"Our new Foot Scrub, containing natural pumice, gently yet intensively exfoliates the rough skin on your feet to leave them smooth and buffed to perfection. Includes softening avocado and wheatgerm oils and the invigorating aromas of peppermint and rosemary essential oils for sweet-smelling feet."

Foot Repair Moisturiser

The thing that one me over with this one is that it smelt like peppermint and for me peppermint totally makes me feel refreshed and I love that cooling feeling.The moisturiser leaves you feet feeling smooth and pampered, but feels even better when someone else is massaging it into those tired feet =p

Liz Earle says

"Our refreshing peppermint-scented Foot Repair Moisturiser uses a blend of shea butter, skin-softening wheatgerm oil and avocado oil to intensively moisturise the driest of skins. Best of all, it sinks in fast so won't leave feet feeling greasy."

Foot Spritzer

Now this is something you don't see very often a foot spritzer,I've seen plenty of face spritzers but never a actual foot spritzer which makes extra special, I know for the ladies on the other side of the world its Summer over there so this would be perfect for those hot and sticky days just spray your feet once and have instant refreshed feet. This is great for keeping in the hand bag.But get in quick ladies cause this one is only available until September the 5th 2010 while stocks last.

Liz Earle says

"Spritz your feet, legs and ankles with a cooling and invigorating burst of 9 essential oils including rosemary, spearmint and peppermint. This fast-drying spray fights odour-causing bacteria to help keep skin fresh."

And finally ladies I also wanted to bring your attention to Liz Earle's Kits and Gifts, there perfect for trying out sample sizes, and even prettier as gifts, all Liz Earle's products come beautifully wrapped and some of them even come in beautiful little bags perfect for travelling,in the hand bag or just to look pretty.This one is the New Flight Essentials Kit consisting of 4 great products to help your skin through the air

Liz Earle says

"Air travel can take its toll on your skin, so make sure you stay refreshed and hydrated before, during and after your trip with our new Flight Essentials Kit. Includes four of our most popular beauty must-haves in cabin-friendly sizes."

NYX Eyeshadow Bases My Opinion And Swatches

2010-06-01T16:35:00.003+10:00

Hi ladies

I purchased these eyeshadow bases a few months ago off Cherry Culture after searching for a cheap eyeshadow base for ages,I had heard mostly good reviews and since I cant get my hands on Urban Decay Primer Potion I thought why not.They each cost $6.00USD which ends up working out to be $7 dollars something AUD,I've never actually seen them sold in Australia which is typical cause lets face it when does Aus actually have half the makeup brands the international ladies have so of course purchasing online was a must.There was 3 shades to choose from a White,Pearl and Skin tone since I already have a coastal scents white gel liner which works just as good as a base,I opted for the Pearl and Skin tone shades.

They both have the same feel as a concealer in a jar,the Pearl shade being a little less thick than the Skin tone,the Pearl is exactly like a cream based eyeshadow and the Skin tone feeling more like a concealer than a shadow base,I have to say out of the two I preferred the Pearl 100x more,it glided on smoothly although I will add it is extremely sparkly and well pearly I tried a blue shadow over the pearl and it did make the blue pop alot more I'm guessing due to all the shimmer of the base,I pulled the look off for about 7hours due to going to the beach,mind you I didn't swim but I was sitting in the boiling sun for that long.As for the skin tone base as you will see from the swatches below its way off my skin tone colour and the consistency was just so thick,I mean really thick but It did do its job and stay on for quite a few hours.

NYX Says

WHITE: Apply before eye shadows for 100x's vivid color

PEARL: Apply before eye shadows with pearl and iridescent for a 100x's pearlized effects

SKIN TONE: Apply before eye shadows to hold, intensify, and make eye shadow last longer.

Ingredients:

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Mineral Oil, Microcrystalline Wax, Silica (and) Methicone, BHT, Dipentaerythrityl Hexahydroxystearate/Hexastearate/Hexarosinate,Ricinus,Communic,(Castor) Seed Oil, Sorbitan Sesquioleate, Octyldodecyl Myristate, Polyethylene, Fragrance, Butylparaben, Nylon-66, Ceresin, Tocopheryl Acetate, Polyethylene, Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891).

Overall I would say give them a go,for the price you really cant complain, and a jar like that is going to last for ages my pick would be to go for either the pearl or white only because I didn't like the thickness of the skin tone shade and cause personally it was way off my actual skin tone.But if you like a thick base than go for it.The pearl shade could also quite easily work as a highlight on the brow bone or even on the inner corners of the eyes to give that added pop.

Rating 7/10

So ladies have any of you tried the NYX bases? Whats you favorite ES base?

Do You Write Honest Reviews?

2010-05-27T01:26:00.000+10:00

so ladies I need some advice,opinions etc anything with what I'm about to type.As bloggers we are sometimes sent free samples or even request free samples from some companies now I think that's perfectly fine cause I personally have accepted samples and even requested samples on many occasions, some being fantastic products and others not being so great, and sometimes I have reviewed them on this blog and other times I have not.But what happens when you don't like something and you give it a more negative than positive review, whether its been sent to you by request or simply by the company offering and than the company lashes out at you? Do you think this is fair as bloggers should we keep our negative opinions to ourselves if the product has not been purchased with our money, or should we give it a 100percent positive review cause the product has been sent for free?I recently received some really negative feedback from a company after writing a review they didn't agree with, I was accused of 'backstabbing', recommending bad products,lying,having a blog with diminishing popularity,dishonest and the best one of all the company telling me 'Now they know why I'm not famous yet'! I coped that all in one email over one negative review.Ladies,followers I don't blog to be famous or to get rich,or to be popular I blog because I enjoy it,because its something I have a passion for, and having followers and ladies to talk to is a fantastic bonus which I also love.And every opinion I ever write on this blog is always going to be my OWN personal opinion I'm not about to lie to my readers or myself for some company that sent me something for free.So what do you think ladies should we keep our mouths shut or should we write what we honestly think of the product regardless of it being sent for free?

My Spring It,My honest Review

2010-05-26T02:54:00.001+10:00

Hi Ladies

So Rachel over at MySpringit.com gave me the opportunity to review one of her My spring it's after I emailed her asking if I could have a sample .I'm going to be completely honest and let you ladies know what I think, just because it was free I'm not going to beat around the bush and give you a 'OMG ITS SO GREAT REVIEW' I'm going to be honest, cause face it honesty is the best policy!

So what is it you ask? Well basically its a spring with two little twisty handles on either side which allow you to control the spring to pull out all those hairs.Think of 'threading' but with a spring.I did try the spring it quite a few times and it definitely ripped out my hairs but with extreme pain,although I do like the concept of the spring it I think ill stick with waxing,spring it is more of a slower process where as waxing is just wham bam thank you ma mam!Also another negative is the price at $15.99 USD that seems a little to much for something so simple,I also did my research and found exactly the same thing on eBay for $8.00 AUD including shipping but not for just one but for a total of 5 that's less than half price and your getting more for your money.

Overall the 'My Spring it' is great for getting rid of those hairs if you have a amazing tolerance for pain,and wish to pay a hell of a lot more for something you could find for cheaper on eBay with the same qualities.And I would like to thank Rachel for sending me the Spring it free of charge.

So ladies have any of you tried these springy hair removal things?

Would you be game enough to give one a go?

Liz Earle Mineral Sun Cream Perfect for those hot summer days!

2010-05-25T02:15:00.000+10:00

Hello my pretty ladies

As you all know im totally in LOVE with Liz Earle's Skin Care range so I thought I would do a little review on there New Mineral Sun Cream with SPF20. We all know how extremelly white I am so a sunscreen is a must when I go outside because I turn completely red and my face ends up looking like a perfect game of connect the dots(freckles grrr) sunburnt skin is not something I look foward to so having a great sunscreen is just what I need!Specially in Australia where majority of the time the sun is beaming.

Liz Earle's Mineral Sun Cream is extremelly light and dosnt have that really thick feeling that most sunscreens have,and it deffinately does not have that awful scent that ive come across in the past.Its packed full of shea butter,potent natural antioxidants pomegranate,green tea and vitamin E all in a sun screen, so your getting protection from the sun plus your skins being moisturized is that a bonus or what!

The mineral sun cream is great for the whole family including the ladies with sensitive skin,cause the cream is so light it wont break you out,you dont even notice you have it on.

" Our new, reformulated mineral sun cream works by bouncing the sun's harmful UVA and UVB rays away from the skin, offering immediate SPF20 protection in a new, easy to apply formula."
Liz Earle

So ladies is sunscreen apart of your daily routine?

As the Aussie's say "Dont forgot to SLIP,SLOP & SLAP"

"slip on a shirt, slop on sunscreen, and slap on a hat"

The team at Glitter Gal worked together with Nookie to create their very own nail polish colour complimenting the hues and theme of Nookie’s collection ‘Let Love Rule’. Working closely with Nikita, Anna Szabo and Kerry Howell, owners of Glitter Gal produced from their salon range, a limited edition colour named ‘NOOKIE METTALLIC’.

Anna Szabo of Glitter Gal says: “Having a custom blend nail polish shows true fashion innovation that extends to the finger tips and toes. Nail polish bridges the divide between fashion and beauty to the extent that careful consideration is given to what the colour of the nails should be for fashion shows – we believe that it is as important as making the decisions for hair and make up looks”.

The Nookie team were delighted to work with Glitter Gal for their 2010 RAFW show, Nikita explained “It’s so exciting to be joining forces with Glitter Gal and to have our very own polish created for us, NOOKIE METALLIC – WOW! When the opportunity came up, I jumped at the chance to work with a reputable brand where the colour of the nails worked back with my designs”.

Like always Glitter Gal's polish in Nookie applied like a dream, really only needing 1 coat, its a pretty high shine metalic champagne colour which I totally adore!

Hi ladies I was recently sent some Eyeko polishes I decided to try out the Lilac colour first since im a sucker for pastel lilacs!Ive heard many good and bad reviews about these polishes,with many saying the formula is to thick and goppy,my formula was fantastic I only needed 2 coats for a complete opaque coverage I must admit I was sent another bright purple colour which I couldnt even use cause it was so thick,maybe that was just a bad batch but anyway here is the 'Lilac Polish' in all its prettiness!

2010-05-01T20:23:00.001+10:00

1.Cutex Nail Polish Remover,this stuff is great its really good cause it also has a nail whitening formula which works really well.

2.Mayballine Mineral Power concealer,its so hard matching a concealer and foundation to my white skin so double points for this,its covers all those nasty pimples that seem to pop up when you least expect it and great for under the eyes only a fiew dabs is needed cause a little goes a long way and the dow foot applicator comes in handy

3.Nail Tek Foundation II ive been using this for the last month as my base coat instead of the seche base coat and I must say I actually like this one better,cause it really smooths out the nail and gets rid of all those ridges perfect for a flawless nail polish application

4.CoverGirl LashBlast need I say more?I think this is just about everyones favorite mascara for me it creates those almost fake looking lashes which I love,I think this mascara is my all time favorite I hope they dont discontinue it cause honestly I think this is the best product ive seen Cover Girl ever produce.

5.MOR Cosmetics hand cream,Im not really much for handcreams but since its been getting colder in Australia my hands and skin seem to be becoming much more drier so this hand cream comes in handy I specialy love the scent it leaves even after washing my hands they still smell pretty.

6.LizEarle face moisturizer is fantastic for normal/combination skin ive been really enjoying this stuff my skin is so fussy when it comes to cream one day its oily the next dry as anything but using this moisturizer has really helped it get over its little hissy fit

7.Senna line and smudge brush is great for eyeliner on the top and bottom its a soft brush and not to big so its really easy to control im shocking when it comes to liner but with this brush its really helped

8.MAC BlackTrack Fluid line this stuff is AMAZING super black and creamy I actually use this on my waterline with the Senna brush its really good if you like dark heavy eyeliner its even great for the top lid liner but im more of bottom eyeliner girl

9.Carmex oh Carmex where would I be without you,you have saved my lips from burning chapped lip pain a billion times I love this stuff its great for using before you put on lipstick as a kind of primer but its even better for when you just think your about to get chapped lips,whack some of this on and ull be fine in a fiew hours seriously it works wonders great for winter which is coming up

10.MAC Lipsticks in Cute-ster its a mix between a peachy/pink nude and its a lustre so it gives off that glossy affect,Viva Glam GAGA need I say more the perfect pink and Hue the perfect everyday colour for alot of skin tones

11.1000 Eyelash and Eyebrow Dye,I have blonde lashes actually there like like see through you cant even see them so I look like a freak without mascara but I recently purchased this stuff and now I have a pretty black lashes!Great for days when you feel like putting no makeup on.

5.When it comes to buying things for the house eg. Washing powder,toilet paper,tissues I always have to buy 'backup' and if one runs out I never use the second packet I always buy another,so there is always one there its so weird its like I think there is going to be some huge war and I'm not going to have toilet paper lol yes I'm strange very lol

6.I'm a sucker for celebrity perfumes and for some reason I find that they always smell nicer than some of the big brands out there.Oh and this is kind of embarrassing but my all time favorite perfume is 'Britney Spears Fantasy' I know I know pretty shocking but I think all her perfumes smell amazing.

MAC Helly Kitty Tahitian Sand Beauty Powder HUGE FAIL!

2010-04-23T00:57:00.002+10:00

So ladies im sure ive said this before but MAC here in Australia is so expensive,so im always on the hunt for a good blogsale to get my hands on some MAC things.When the Hello Kitty collection came out I was so excited but there was no way in hell I was going to pay over 50bux for a face powder or 45 for a lipstick so I waited and this little beauty popped up on a blogsale,yes the packaging is adorable but thats it JUST THE PACKAGING!I dont know where Mac was going with this face powder when they named it Tahitian Sand,I was expecting some nice sandy wash of colour but I got nothing unless I swirl my brush around about 20x to pick up a bit of colour I guess its only good as a setting powder but even with that you still need a ton on the brush.In my opinion this was a complete fail on MAC's behalf but at least I have a cute compact..Now all I need is to learn how to depot the damn thing any suggestions?And have any of you tried this one out?

Aww soo cute!

Tahitan Sand ur a huge fail more like invisible sand!

Your little Hello Kitty face will stay indented in the powder because I can assure you,you wont be used!

This is after swiriling my fingers so many times I lost count!

Have any of you had a FAIL with any MAC cosmetics?

And if anyone wants to get rid of some MAC stuff let me know

Liz Earle Naturally Active Skin Care Mini Review

2010-04-20T00:58:00.002+10:00

Hi ladies today I have a review for you on Liz Earle Naturally Active Skin Care Range ive been testing out these products for a fiew months now and lets just say im quite impressed not just about the natural ingredients but that this skincare range actually works on my confused skin.

Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser

A fantastic cleanser that gets rid of all your makeup and dirt on your face,and also provides a gentle exfoliation of the skin when used with the hot cloth this stuff is really good,the amount of makeup I had on my face I didnt think id be able to get it off without scrubbing,but with a simple wash with the cleanser and a gentle scrub with the hot cloth it was all gone.I also really like the fact that it comes with two extra hot cloths.

"The original, multi award-winning, concentrated cleanser. Used with the pure muslin cloth, it quickly removes everyday grime and make-up, including stubborn mascara, to leave all skin types soft and smooth. Radiance boosting and packed with naturally active ingredients, try this best-selling cult classic today." Liz Earle

Instant Boost Skin Tonic
Now the thing I love about this is that its basically 2 products in one which is always a bonus.It works as a great toner after cleansing but also works even better as a kind of 'fix plus' or spritzer and works wonders for setting makeup, or simply just refreshing the face.This skin tonic has been my holy grail for the past fiew months,and you can even poor it into a spritzer bottle and take it anywhere with you and whip it out when you want a boost of refreshness to your skin.

"This heavenly scented, non-drying floral tonic revitalises, soothes and brightens. Gentle and alcohol-free it also adds a fine layer of moisture. With conditioning natural source vitamin E, hydrating organic aloe vera and rose-scented geranium." Liz Earle

Skin Repair Moisturiser - Normal/combination
Rich,creamy but yet so light on the skin this moisturiser is a god sent seriously!My skin is so sensitve than its dry than its normal than its,I could go on forever cause it cannot make up its mind but with the Normal/combination moisturiser it fit perfectly I also love that its light enough to be worn under makeup as a primer.

"Rich in natural actives including borage (a potent source of the skin conditioning fatty acid GLA), avocado plus echinacea and antioxidant natural source vitamin E to help replace lost moisture in normal/combination skin, leaving it soft and smooth." Liz Earle

Eyebright Soothing Eye Lotion
Hayfever anyone? Late night? Eyebright fixed this right up,I have this weird routine where I like staying up for 24hours straight sometimes,I end up going on a huge 'clean the house' bender and wake up with huge swelling eggs on my face instead of eyes,a quick wipe of eyebright and the puffiness and redness disappears after,no joke 5mintues its also great for hayfever ahh dont even get me started on the amount of dust in my house and its constantly bringing up my alergies,so lets see I wakeup with eggs as eyeballs and a nose full of well you know how alergies work.So the eyebright eye lotion has really helped.

"Wake up and revitalise eyes with cotton wool pads soaked in this gentle, soothing herbal lotion before using Cleanse & Polish. Containing naturally active ingredients including eyebright - a tiny alpine herb, witch hazel, organic aloe vera and cornflower to help tone, cool and refresh tired, puffy eyes." Liz Earle

Overall im in love with Liz Earle's Skin Care range and im so happy ive finally found something that actually works for my skin! Check out the Liz Earle Website Here

So ladies whats your favorite skin care range? Do you do the 3 steps of cleansing,toner and than moisturiser?

Australis Nail Colour's

2010-04-16T08:38:00.001+10:00

Australis is a Australian cosmetic line which features some fantastic makeup and nail polishes,Australis would have to be my favorite Australian brand to date.Not only is Australis owned by Aussie's its also actually made in Australia which is great, because ive noticed with some Australian companies alot of there things arent actually made here in Aus.Australis also does not test on animals so thats a huge bonus.Today I want to show you a fiew of there new shades of Nail colour.

Bombshell

A pretty bright pink cream

Peek-a-Boo

A pastel purple/lavander cream

Sweetpea

A mint/green pastel cream

Rub-A-Dub-Dub

A bright yellow pastel cream

Overall this collection just screams prettiness the colours are extremelly bright and fun,and there is at least one colour in the collection for all ages and skin type's.The application on these were great they only needed two coats and that was really pushing it,and if your feeling lazy they really dont need a top coat due to there high shine and glossyness.The formula is creamy and opaque and glides smoothly on the nail with ease.Im really loving these Australis polishes great quality and they wont break the bank at just $7.95AUD.

MAC Blushes-Swatches and my verdict

2010-04-10T01:06:00.000+10:00

Hi ladies

MAC has some of the prettiest blushes ive come across and they seem to be able to suit any skintone from the lightest of light to the darkest of dark. Me being a NW20 which is almost ghostly white finding blushes has always been a struggle there either way to pink which ends up making me look like I have extreme sunburnt cheeks or there to brown which makes my skin look dirty.So after a ton of research online I took the risk and ordered 3 blushes off ebay and these 3 ended up being perfect!

From left to right Springsheen,Welldressed and Trace Gold

Now lets get up close and personal

Springsheen (Sheertone Shimmer)

Which MAC describes as a light peach with gold pearl pretty much sums it up I would also throw in there that its very Coral.They say this is a dupe for NARS Orgasm but ive never tried it, but from what ive seen online they do look quite similar.I only need a very light dusting of springsheen over the cheeks again cause im so white but once its really blended in, it gives that pretty peachy glow.

Welldressed (Satin)

MAC describes Welldressed as pink lady pink,I have no idea what that means maybe the perfect pink for ladies?Its a pretty baby pink shade that is fantastic for the whiter shade ladies,a dab of this really livens the face up without being to overpowering, and cause its so light its great to wear with dramatic eye and lip looks and perfect for those days when you just want a little colour to give you that natural glow

Tracegold (Sheertone Shimmer)

MAC describes this as Fairylight gold with shimmer,this is my bronzer! Yes you heard right my bronzer lol this is this perfect shade for those ladies who are like me and can never find a bronzer that dosnt give you the dirty cheek affect just enough gold to give a light bronzing on the cheeks and I even use it all over the face to give that suttle light tanned look,its also great for darker skin tones and can be used as a highlighter cause of the light gold shimmer.

Overall I really love MAC blushes its a shame they retail for $40 AUD cause if they were cheaper I would be spending like crazy!So ladies whats your favorite blush? Any recommendation's?

ulta3 Plum Violet

2010-04-08T04:03:00.000+10:00

Hi ladies

Im sure you have noticed some changes I have made to my blog with the fantastic help of Mona,I like this layout much better! Im sure you have all heard tons about the Aussie brand Ulta3 and seen me post a fiew of the polishes,so today I thought I would show you 'Plum Violet' one of my faves!A pretty pinkish purplish cream easy to apply and only needed 2 coats, im sure my fellow Aussie girls will agree with me when I say these are comparable to brands like OPI and China Glaze! Just a heads up ladies ill be doing a giveaway very soon so keep your eyes out for that!

I added some 'X's again and a fiew rhinestones than painted a super shimmery glitter over the top, so shimmery my camera didnt even pick up the glam!

A quick question ladies,I know ive been doing alot of polish related posts lately so I wanted to ask what would you ladies like to see?More makeup related posts etc? Let me know in the comments what you want to see on this blog! Hope your all doing well and a big thankyou and I love you to all of you who have continued to support me and my blog!

Essie Mesmerize + Another Ring From Fashion Addict

2010-04-06T16:16:00.001+10:00

Hi ladies

After seeing this on Kae's nails I just had to have it,and since im so obsessed with blue's it was a must for my collection and this is my first Essie polish Yayy! Mesmerize is a creamy almost royal blue,the blue is a little darker in real life than the pics show but this is the best I could do with my crappy camera!

This is the last ring I picked up from Fashion Addict such a pretty Black and Gold cocktail ring

these two colours look fantastic together

China Glaze Solar Power + Nail Art

2010-04-02T02:12:00.005+11:00

Hi ladies

I bring to you China Glaze Solar Power from the 2008 'EcoCollection' a oldie but a new one for me its a extremelly bright yellow with some gold shimmer application was a bit hard the formula seemed to drag at the cuticles alot but considering its a yellow it was fantastic only needing 2 coats to get the colour in the bottle.

Than just to add to the craziness brightness of this colour some simple black X mark the spots!

Using BYS Black Nail Art Laquer

BB Couture Dancing Queen

2010-03-30T14:38:00.000+11:00

Hi ladies

How are you all? Ive tried my first BB couture,I was so excited to try this brand ive heard so many raves about how fantastic there polishes are, and its all true the forumala is great Dancing Queen applied like a dream in just 2 coats,this colour is very pretty but it just didnt match my skintone and I think a colour like this is more for a matured woman for some reason.It just didnt work on me but im still totally in love with the BB couture polishes and ill definately be placing a order in.I would like to thank Kim over at overallbeauty.com for giving me the oppurtunity to try out such a great brand!

And ladies I have a kind of secret to tell you ive recently become addicted to playing PlayStation3 lol ive been playing 'Grand Theft Auto IV' non stop for the last couple of weeks online,does that sound geeky or what!But if any of you ladies play online ps3 let me know maybe we can play online together! Did I mention ill be 22 in July lolll ahhh still a big kid at heart =p

The packaging is just sublime a mixture of a deep plum with black and trimmings of gold and to top it off pretty bows of silk to tie it all together.I didnt even want to open anything it looked that pretty!

The Perfume Oil is fantastic to pop in your bag and carry with you everywhere and cause its a oil it lasts much longer and your left with a scent that lingers all day

The Lip Nectar is a delicous plum colour that adds a pretty shine to the lips,the consistancy of the gloss is fantastic gliding on smoothly and not sticky like alot of glosses and the smell, mmmm just divine.And the gloss lasts hours.

The soap lathers great in the shower and your left feeling squeeky clean and smelling beautiful and it comes in the cutest tin which can reused once your finished with soap.

The body butter is great to use after using the soap,it leaves your skin feeling soft and hydrated and is perfect for layering with the perfume oil as it has the same scent so you keep that smell all day

The hand cream is fantastic and since you all know how much I love taking care of my nails and hands this is perfect for me it left my hands feeling smooth and soft and it even made my cuticles appear much more healthier.And after washing my hands the scent of the hand cream was still there which I really loved cause usually with hand creams once you wash your hands it vanishes.

Overall this line is beautiful the packaging and design are breathtaking and the Little Luxuries collection blew me away with how great everything is,and dont even get me started on the smell.You ladies should really check out MOR cosmetics they have many other fantastic products, you will be impressed!

2010-03-25T13:54:00.000+11:00

Mirenesse Sexy Secret Weapon 24HR Mascara

2010-03-22T00:29:00.000+11:00

Hi ladies

Today I have a mini review on Mirenesse's Secret weapon 24hr mascara in black lace now first off I want to start with the packaging, its so cute and packaging is always one of my down falls cause if its cute I want it and Mirenesse really did that with this mascara,the box and mascara's packaging are in Black and Turquoise and the brush wand has a Turquoise diamond on the top,ahh so glamorous!

As for the wand its one of those plastic silicone brushes that have been slowly taking over the mascara world and I have to say I loveee them way better than the old brushes,the wand really helps seperate the lashes and coats each lash really well, the only problem I have with the mascara is that it dries so fast by the time you go in for a 2nd coat there just about dry but that can also come in handy if your in a rush and some girls even prefer for there mascara to dry fast but I like to at least get 3coats in without it drying straight away

As for the mascara being true to its word about 24hours I would have to say that's 100 percent right,I slept in this stuff and I woke up with the same lashes I went to bed with, not even any flaking which is great I personally think.The mascara isnt waterproof but it is water resistant which is what I like cause I can easily remove it with water when im washing my face.

The mascara dosnt give a overly dramatic lash say as covergirl lash blast would but it does coat each lash, seperate and really fan them out to give that natural fake eye lash look,have a look for yourself

Overall im happy with the mascara excluding the drying thing and what im really loving is that its Australian made and you know how I am with my Aussie brands! The mascara is also Paraben & Fragrance free, mineral oil free, petrolatum free, alcohol free, SLS (soap) free which makes it fantastic for sensitve eyes and contact lense wearing eyes.

You can check out Mirenesse's website here & you can find there mascara here

BYS Does Nail Art Lacquers

2010-03-10T00:36:00.002+11:00

Hi ladies

BYS has come out with the some great nail art lacquers, the ones that have super thin brushes to get that perfect nail art application,David from Fashion Addict was kind enough to send me the new range to try out.First off the arrange of colours is great, I think every colour of the rainbow is there.Since im totally crap at nail art im not going to show you my crappy attempt at trying to do some art, but I will tell you that most of the colours are fantastic and as usual the formula on the BYS lacquers is great,I do have one thing to kind of complain about and thats a fiew of the neon colours need a fiew strokes to actually get the colour thats in the bottle, but I guess thats with every neon polish.

The brush is really thin as you can see, this makes it really easy to apply clean straight lines

The colours swatched on some white lined paper

My favorite would have to be the purple nail art laquer,I really hope BYS brings this colour out in a nail polish,whats you favorite colour?And are you ladies into the nail art brush thing?

MAC Viva Glam GAGA

2010-03-04T07:15:00.000+11:00

Hi ladies

Can I get a squeeeeeeee for how pretty this lipstick is! I was so excited when I heard that Lady Gaga was teaming up with MAC to create a lipstick, but I was actually suprised to see how simple and pretty this lipstick shade was,coming from Gaga I was expecting some super bright crazy unwearable colour but this shade really impressed me! And the great thing about the Viva Glam collection is that the money you spend on each lipstick/gloss goes to the MAC Aids Fund.

Even the box has her signature on it

And the actual tube of lipstick has her signature on it aswell

The first swatch is applied with one stroke and the second about 3 swipes

Viva Glam Gaga is a really pretty shade,and it looks great on my NW20 skin ive heard many other reviews of girls saying its a great everyday colour,but personally I wouldnt wear this colour everyday,maybe on the weekend but not to a professional work environment.To me its very similar to MAC Angel and NYX Strawberry Milk kind of a mixture of them two.Anyway ladies if you want any swatches of perticular lipstick etc let me know..Take care ladies :)

Barry M Lip Paints

2010-03-02T11:31:00.001+11:00

Hi Ladies

Ive heard so much about these Barry M lip paints but here in Australia they arent sold until I came across a Aussie website that sells alot of international makeup that we usually cant get, they even sell china glaze, they you can find them here CRUSH COSMETICS super fast shipping and great customer service.And ladies if you purchase anything from Crush Cosmetics and mention my blog they will add in 2 FREE nyx lipliners!YAYYY..

Now onto the lipsticks,the pigmentation is great and they apply smoothly I love 146 which is also known as dolly pink,it really is a dolly/barbie pink and really matches my white skin,100 which is also known as baby pink is such a pretty colour but it looks HORRIBLE on me,It totally erases my lips and I end up looking like a duck,I wanted this colour to work so much but it just dosnt do it for me

A fiew Swatches in different lighting

The lighter pink or baby pink is number 100 & the dolly pink is number 146

So have any of you ladies tried out anything from Barry M?

Ulittlebeauty intox-C-cation Review

2010-03-02T03:49:00.001+11:00

Hi ladies

Quick post today just to express my love for Ulittlebeauty again,but this time with there 'Kakadu intox-C-cation' vitamin C serum! First off I didnt really understand how this was ment to work but after trying it after a long day and night I can totally see what it does for your skin.Its great for party goers,sun lovers,beach babes and basically anyone who needs to really hydrate there skin.

This vitamin C serum really helped my face feel fresh and hydrated,and even felt as though it tightened my skin.It dries instantly and immediately I could see and feel results, my biggist problem is fine lines under my eyes but once I added this all over my face I really noticed a reduce in those lines.The great thing about the serum is that you really only need a tiny squirt and it applies all over the face,another great thing about the serum is the bottle,its one of those pump ones which I love cause there super easy to use and not as messy as a normal jar of cream.

Once again as usual Ulittlebeauty's vitamin C serum is packed full of amazing ingredients like Kakadu Plum, aloe,licorice and chamomile.

A Kakadu Plum is actually a small plum fruit found in Northern Territory and Western Australia this tiny fruit is packed full vitamin C its actually the highest amount of vitamin C concentration found in any single natural food in the WHOLE world known today,each plum contains 300mg of vitamin C per 100mg of fruit! WOW 300mg thats amazing!They say oranges are good for vitamin C,they only contain 50mg per 100mg of fruit thats a huge difference ill have me some kakadu plum anyday!Incase you wondering how a Kakadu plum looks have a look at this picture there like tiny plums of gold

So anyway ladies I really suggest you try out some of Ulittlebeauty's products they are really amazing and have worked wonders on my skin!

BYS Lipsticks & Swatches

2010-02-27T10:57:00.000+11:00

Hi Ladies,

I can hear you from here all saying "0o0o0o0o pretty!" BYS also have a makeup line with a great set of super pretty lipsticks!I know right lipsticks,makeup and polish BYS dosnt get any better,anyway I only have 3 BYS lipsticks in my collection so far but I will be back for more 100% I wanted to show you these ones cause I recently got Pink Flamingo in my Fashion Addict splurge I had the other day so I thought why not,lets whip out these beauties!

Sassy Salmon is a pinky/coral cream

Champagne Rain a nice nudeish brown cream

Flamingo Pink a pretty Hot Pink Fuschia with a blueish purple tint/shimmer

These lipsticks are really easy to apply being so smooth and creamy, there not quite comparable to Mac but I would say they are very similar to NYX round lipsticks, without that slippery runny feeling nyx gives on the lips whilst applying.The great thing about these babies is the staying power considering there a $3.95 AUS lipstick there fantastic when it comes to staying on.They also give a great coverage with a fiew swipes!

You find the whole BYS range on Fashion Addict and there other lipsticks you can find here

MAC Snob VS REVLON Pink Pout

2010-02-26T23:05:00.000+11:00

Hi ladies

Today I bring to you 2 well known lipsticks in the makeup junkie world,Mac Snob and Revlon Pink Pout, they are both cool toned pinks on my NW20 ghostly white skin,Snob has some lilac/lavander undertones which you can really see under light once on the lips and Pink Pout aswell, Snob is actually a satin lipstick but I found it to be quite matte,overall there both really pretty colours but both MUST have a lipbalm underneath otherwise you may find some drying on the lips.But why I wanted to show you the lipsticks was because Pink Pout is ment to be a dupe for snob,they are very similar but once on the lips very different in my opinion, check out the swatches and tell me what you think,do you find these 2 a exact dupe or just similar?

Hi ladies today I have a great Body Butter to show you,I was never much into body butters until I came across Yes To Carrots, my skin has been so dry lately specially my elbows so trying out a body butter was right up my ally,and I was very impressed,I applied the cream generously over my body but realised a little goes along away and the cream sinks in your skin within seconds which is bonus cause I hate waiting for creams to dry.

The best part about Yes To Carrots Deleciously Rich Body Butter would have to be the fantastic ingredients one of the key ingredients is Shea Butter, rich in vitamins A and E which we all know is fantastic for the skin.

I was left with soft,silky smooth skin all over my body,I even tried it on my feet and was suprised that it totally made them soft aswell,what a bonus. The complete range of Yes to carrots is paraben free and all there products are made from fresh organic vegetables and fruit, and the smell of the cream is just devine!

And whats even better is that they dont test animals which is a must for me when im buying beauty products,Over all I highly recommend giving this body butter a try you will be suprised at how good it really is.Ill be back through out the week to show you some more amazing products from Yes to Carrots in the meantime you can check out there website here

Carmex My New Lip Love!

2010-02-03T19:27:00.003+11:00

Hi ladies how are you all?

Today im going to be doing a review on one of my new FAVORITE lipbalms!You most likely have heard of Carmex but let me tell you my opinion on this amazing lip balm brand.

I suffer from really dry cracked lips most days of my life and ive tried hundreds of lipbalms and glosses to make my lips healthy and soft, so when first trying Carmex I was a bit skeptical on wheather or not it really worked.But after trying these balms for the last 2 weeks let me tell you, they totally work and are true to there word!

So the first flavour I tried was the original,now im not going to lie the smell kind of put me off a bit as it kind of reminded me of the cough rub 'Vicks' but once putting it on I didnt notice a smell at all but I did notice this really cooling,tingly affect almost as if Id eaten a mint and rubbed it all over my lips,I will admit I love that feeling!This affect is from the camphor and menthol in the range.

But thats not all they dont just stop at balms, they have a gloss or what they call a gel, how cool is that, a lip treatment which you can use as gloss and have super shiny healthy lips!I also find with the gloss you can apply it over your lipstick to give it that extra shine.

Now for my favorite 2, the Strawberry and Cherry Carmex all I can say is YUMMMM!

The smell is amazing like a yummy candy.I seriously could not put these down and found myself reapplying every 5minutes,and im not joking EVERY 5minutes cause of how yummy they smell,not only the smell but these balms really do work wonders I noticed instantly my lips feeling soft and smooth, I used them before I applied lipstick kind of like a primer and it got rid of all the little cracks and really smoothed out my lipstick application.

Now for the ingredients and seriously ladies check out how cool these work
