Australis Lash Length Extension Mascara Review

Mascara is the one product that I love to try out a lot! So when Australis came out with the Lash Length Extensions mascara I was very keen to try it out.

Australis is a great Australian brand that has pretty good quality products at affordable prices.

Australis says: A lengthening mascara that works to lengthen lashes with fibres that attach themselves to the lids of the lashes. It is so lightweight you'll feel like you are not wearing any mascara at all! Creates long, defined and separated lashes in an instant. Contains easy wash-off tubing formulation for no 'panda eyes'.

 I naturally have long lashes, so I like a mascara that will accentuate my own. This mascara sounds great and works great too! I use it everyday and really like the results.

The packaging is cute with the black and pink colours, easy to use use and the wand is a skinny, long wand. It applies easily over the lashes and with a few coats does a great job at lengthening and adding definition to the lashes.



 I use this as a everyday mascara because it really does make the lashes look just nice and not too dramatic.

As you can see in the pictures above, the effect that this mascara gives is really nice. It lengthens my lashes and gives them great definition and curl. There is no smudging or flaking. This mascara also is easy to remove, which is a bonus!

 Overall, I would highly recommend the Australis Lash Length Extension Mascara, it does what it claims to do and gives a great effect to the lashes. It would suit everyone and great for everyday wear, with the ease of it coming off easily. It retails for $11.95aud which is great value!

Five tips on how to save money when buying beauty/fashion products

When it comes to spending money, no one wants to spend more than they have to. So something that I try and do is save as much as I can on beauty and fashion products. Now you may be thinking, but how can you do that? I have some tips that I want to share with you on how to save money when buying products, beauty or fashion.

1. Sales - I am a huge sales shopper! I mostly buy when things are on sale. I have a huge list of products I want to buy or am interested in trying and I wait till there are sales and will buy them then, saving me so much rather than paying full price. Department stores like Target, Big W, Priceline and supermarkets are always having promotions and sales so if you wait you can pick up some great bargains.

2. Gift with purchase - When it comes to high end products, as they are so expensive I usually wait for a gift with purchase offer to buy a product I want. Usually gift with purchases means you have to spend a certain amount and then you get a free gift valued at anywhere between $40 - $100. This is pretty good value as you are buying a high end product and you get to try other high end products through your gift with purchase.

3. Buy online - I am a huge online shopper. I love it because you can find so many great promotions, deals and sales online. I usually subscribe to newsletters for clothing, beauty, accessories, household and many more and when they email sales and discounts, I will then buy what I need. You can save up to 70-80% by shopping online. Of course it means you have to wait for the product to be delivered but well worth it if you are going to save heaps. (here are some sites I have used)

4. Buy gift packs - Usually around specific occassions like mother's day or christmas many stores will stock gift packs which consist of a few products for a cheaper price. If you bought those items separately it would cost you more, so definitely look out for packs. Also for clothing there are more sales around these times so look out for them.

5. Read reviews - These days you can find so many reviews on pretty much anything. If you are unsure of a product and don't want to spend the money and then find that you don't like it, look it up and read reviews. Blogs and YouTube are the two places I check the most to read reviews on products.

You can save so much by watching where you spend your money and with so much variety of places, instore and online, you will find that you can pick up great bargains. I hardly buy anything full price!

Do you have a tip for saving money on beauty products?

Loreal Base Magique Transforming Smoothing Primer Review

I discovered primers a few years ago and really like the concept of a primer. A primer is applied after moisturising your face and before foundation as a base, to give you a more flawless look and make your makeup last longer.

I have tried a few and I have found that the Loreal Base Magique Transforming Smoothing Primer gives instant and really good results.

Loreal says: Smoothness you can touch, transformation you can see, even up close! New Base Magique transforming smoothing primer instantly smoothes pores and creates an even surface, so that you get a more flawless make-up result that lasts. The silky, lightweight formula glides onto skin and minimises the look of pores and fine lines to transform your skin surface. Dermatologically Tested.

The Loreal Base Magique Transforming Smoothing Primer comes in a jar 15ml, you unscrew the top and dip your finger in to take out the product.
 
The texture of this is velvety smooth, thick creamy and applies smoothly and easy on to the skin. When applying this on to the skin it feels thick, but easy to blend onto the skin. I instantly see this covering my pores and redness creating a smooth even base, love it! That is exactly what I need for my skin and it works really well. I wait a few minutes and then apply my foundation on top, the foundation does apply easily over the primer.

This is great for all skin types except for excessively oily skin. I'd recommend this to anyone who has pores and redness that you want to cover up and create a nice base for your foundation. The Loreal Base Magique Transforming Smoothing Primer is available at department stores and retails for $29.95aud

Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circles Treatment Concealer Review

I love concealers and am always on the search for great ones. Concealer is something that I use everyday, even if I am not wearing much makeup I am always wearing a concealer under my eyes. Recently Maybelline came out with a new product called Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circles Treatment concealer.

The packaging of this product is compact and easy to carry around which I like. It comes in a 6ml plastic tube with a puffy top where the concealer comes out of once you wind it up.

Maybelline says: Micro-Corrector Applicator micro-fills and smoothes. Active formula with Haloxyl reduces the look of puffiness and shadows while fading the appearance of under-eye circles. Apply neutralizer shade for extreme dark circles. Brightener shade adds a luminous touch.

The texture of this concealer is creamy not too thin or not too thick. It applies smoothly when you apply it with the puffy ball and then blend out with your ring finger. The puffy ball is the perfect size for under the eye area which makes it easy to apply.

I don't have dark circles, but rather little imperfections under my eye that I want to conceal and this works great. I have a light skintone, so finding the right shade for me in any makeup is always hard, but I found the light pale in this range matches well.

Getting the product out of the puffy top requires you to twist the red top until the product comes out which can be a bit tedious, but it does come out after a few clicks. The puffy ball is what gives it the smooth application.

On the packaging it says that the puffy top is protected with an anti-microbial system so you don't need to wash it, just wipe off excess with dry tissue. I always make sure that I use up all the concealer that comes out when I wind up the top (so only wind up a little, to get a little product and build up if you need more) and this works well for me.

The coverage is great, it does conceal well for me and doesn't settle into fine lines. There is also a brightener shade which is a really light bright shade which works well if I do get dull, puffy skin - I apply a little of it first and then the concealer shade I like on top to give me a more awake look. (the brightener shade would work well if you had dark circles to use on first and then apply with your concealer shade)


Overall the Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circles Treatment Concealer works well for me and is my concealer I use at the moment. The eraser contains essential oils and vitamin C, as well as ingredients with proven anti-inflammatory benefits. It retails for $18.95aud from supermarkets or department stores.

Sigma makeup brushes - Synthetic Kabuki Kit review

Makeup brushes are a great investment to make for anyones makeup collection. To achieve a flawless professional makeup application you need good quality brushes. I have always been a fan of makeup brushes and you don't need to spend a lot to get good quality brushes.

I have been using Sigma brushes for a while now and a few months ago I purchased the Sigma Synthetic Kabuki kit . I ordered them online and at the time Sigma were having free shipping, so I just had to try this set of brushes.

These makeup brushes are really exquisite quality, I love everything about them. The bristles are soft, but dense and they have a sturdy handle and easy to use. They are easy to wash and they don't shed when you wash them.

Sigma Beauty says: The Synthetic Kabuki Kit contains four face brushes for high definition, flawless makeup application. The brushes in this collection feature exclusive Synthetic filament, specially designed to apply powder and liquid products without absorption into the fibers. The shape, density and height of the filaments were carefully engineered to perfectly buff products onto the skin, resulting in a high definition effect.


Here are the four brushes in this kit:


The F80 a Flat Kabuki brush great for all over application of liquid and cream foundations. It allows you to buff the foundation onto the skin which gives a flawless finish.


The F82 is a Round Kabuki similar to the F80 except the round shape. This is great to apply liquid and cream foundation, the curved shape means it is great for around the eyes, nose and chin. This brush can also be used for applying mineral foundation.



The F84 is a Angled Kabuki brush, this is great for applying blush powder or cream. Also can be used for contouring the face and I have also used it for applying foundation. A versatile brush with many uses.


The F86 is the Tapered Kabuki brush has a tapered shape which is great to use on any areas of the face where you need precise application. I like it for applying powder, concealer, blush and contouring.  
You can also apply primer and a highlighter with this brush for that precise application.

Overall I really love these brushes, they are affordable and great quality. If your starting out in makeup or need brushes for your collection I would recommend these. This collection and many other great Sigma brushes can be purchased online at Sigma Beauty

Invisible Zinc UV Silk Shield SPF30+ Foundation review

The one thing I always look for in my skin products that I use during the day is sunscreen. I am very fair and have sensitive skin, so definitely need to protect it from the sun, as we all do. A lot of products have SPF 15+ but we need at least SPF 30+ to be protected well.

When I heard about Invisible Zinc UV Silk Shield Foundation SPF 30+ a few months ago, I was very keen to try it out. Love that it has SPF 30+!

Invisible Zinc says: This natural finish foundation-meets-sunscreen is the new one-step, day-to-night make-up with award winning Invisible Zinc SPF30+ environmental protection built in. Preventing photo-aging has never looked so good. Glides on in seconds (no liquids, powders or concealers) for all day, gym-proof, swim-proof perfect looking skin. Apply buildable coverage for a flawless complete crème to powder finish- your beauty routine just got very simple. Available in Light/ Highlighter, Medium and Tan.

This is a stick foundation that comes in a sleek silver packaging, great size for travelling and a wind up to use the foundation. This is easy and quick to apply as you glide it on your face and then blend it out with your fingers or a brush. It is a two in one cream to powder foundation stick, so no need to apply powder.

It blends really well, smoothly and easily giving a medium to full coverage as it is buildable. The finish of the foundation is a flawless, even skin tone and a luminous finish that isn't too dewy or too matte. I have combination skin and it was non greasy during the day. It is a long lasting foundation which works well for all day coverage. It is also water - proof which is great for rainy days or if you are exercising.

The SPF 30+ is definitely a excellent feature of the foundation as well. The active ingredient zinc is a natural mineral protectant and reflector of UVA+UVB rays, an unseen protective shield over the surface of the skin.

The Invisible Zinc UV Silk Shield SPF30+ Foundation is definitely a product I would recommend to those who want a quick and easy application of foundation, long lasting and great sun protection.

The Invisible Zinc UV Silk Shield SPF30+ Foundation is available for $42 aud at Priceline, Chemists, Myer and David Jones.

Four tips to keep your makeup fresh in Summer

It is officially Summer here in Australia. The weather will start warming up soon and it will be hot. The one thing that is really annoying is when makeup doesn't stay on, because of the heat.

There are some really great products to look out for, to help keep your makeup on in summer.

Here are my tips on how to keep your makeup fresh in Summer:

1. Wear a primer - a primer applied after you day moisturiser, will help to even out your skintone and helps your foundation 'stay put' -  great for hot weather.

2. Choose a lightweight foundation or tinted moisturiser - the lighter the makeup the better you will feel in the heat. If you find your makeup is too light, set your foundation with some loose powder foundation to give more coverage.

3. Use a makeup setting spray - once you have applied all your makeup up, spray some makeup setting spray it is designed to set your makeup, leaves you looking fresh and your makeup should stay on all day.

4. Use blotting paper - they are affordable and you can get great travel sized ones, that you just press on your shiny areas of your face and the powder coated blotting papers will absorb it.

Of course everyone is different, so what may work for some may not work for others, but they are worth a try. Also to be considered is your skin type and the makeup you are using. Try what works best for you and don't forget to wear SPF sunscreen to protect your skin from the sun - most important!

What works best for you in Summer to keep your makeup on? Do you have some great products that you like to use in Summer?

Clinique Chubby Stick Moisturizing Lip Colour Balm review

I never leave the house without something on my lips, whether its a lip balm, lipgloss or lipstick!

The Clinique Chubby Sticks were released earlier this year and definitely have been a must try product for me, the packaging is so enticing.

Clinique says: Super-nourishing balm is loaded with mango and shea butters. Just what dry, delicate lips need to feel comfortably soft and smooth. Eight natural-looking lip tints in all, each with a subtle sheen.


The Clinique Chubby sticks are a oversized crayon-like balm that has a cap. Once you take the cap off, you apply the chubby stick to your lips. You wind it up to get more product out and it doesn't need sharpening. I was sent to try the 06 whoppin watermelon - a pretty light pink colour.

The texture of the chubby stick is a thin consistency that feels like a lip balm, glides on beautifully, is smooth and lightweight on the lips. It feels very moisturising and comfortable on the lips, with a light colour payoff. They are sheer, but can be built up if you apply a few layers. I apply a few layers about four and this lip balm lasts a good three to four hours, before I feel like I need to reapply.



It is definitely a lip balm, that moisturises and feels hydrating with a hint of colour. If your after a everyday lip balm that feels moisturising and smooth on the lips (excellent for dry lips) and easy to apply, then these are great. The packaging are presentable, cute and fun!

These are available at Clinique counters for $35aud and have eight shades to choose from.

Do you have a favourite lip balm? What do you prefer lipstick, lipgloss or lip balms?

Maybelline SuperStay 24HR foundation review

A few months ago, I saw that the Maybelline SuperStay 24HR foundation was on sale at the supermarket and thought I'd pick it up and give it a try. I really liked what this foundation claims to do.

Maybelline says: SuperStay 24HR Makeup stays comfortable and looks naturally flawless all day Micro-Flex formula provides 24-hour wear and No Transfer. Withstands heat, sweat and humidity. Oil-free, dermatologist tested, fragrance-free. Suitable for all skin types.

The Maybelline SuperStay 24HR foundation works really well for me. I have combination skin type and this foundation looks flawless, blends well and easily and really does last a long time.

The Maybelline SuperStay 24HR foundation comes in a glass bottle, that is sturdy with a screw on top. You need to shake the bottle well and then pour the foundation out. The texture of the foundation is a creamy liquid and once you dot it on the face and blend it, it goes on really smoothly and easily. It feels lightweight on the skin, and so easy to blend. It doesn't dry straight away, so you have time to really apply it well and blend it well.


This foundation is a medium to full coverage, you don't need much of it and it does a great job at covering imperfections particularly my redness. I usually apply one layer all over and then add a little more if needed on some areas and it gives a flawless coverage. It feels velvety smooth on the skin, evens out the skintone and gives a semi-matte finish on the skin. I lightly put powder on top to set it.

The Maybelline SuperStay 24HR foundation does last all day for me (I usually wear it for 10hrs), and does not transfer. It looks and feel like it has been just applied, fresh and flawless all day. It is great that it is oil free, suitable for all skin types and affordable.

I would definitely recommend this to anyone to give it a try. It retails for $21.95 from supermarkets, Priceline or department stores and usually can be bought on sale for around $15.

Revlon New Complexion One-Step Compact foundation

I have had the Revlon Compact foundation in my collection for over ten years now. It is a must have product for me!

I originally bought this years ago, because I was looking for a foundation that is quick and easy to apply, with great coverage and this definitely is all of that, so I keep on repurchasing it!

Revlon says:
  • Innovative Revlon Dermabreathe formula
  • Oil-free, irritant-free and won't clog pores
  • Combines the coverage of a liquid with the finish of a powder in one quick and easy step.
  • Glides on creamy smooth for a natural even finish
  • Medium coverage
  • Oil-Free - No animal, vegetable or mineral oil
  • SPF 15
The compact itself is sturdy and easy to open with a mirror. The product is in the first part you open and then a separate area which you flip up is where the sponge stays. This is a one step compact foundation that is cream to powder application, which means you can wear this without adding powder. I do find that it can transfer a little, so you can add powder to help avoid transfer of product.

I use the sponge to apply this to my face (I have combination skin type) this feels so smooth and soft on my skin. It feels really light weight, gives me even skin tone and blends well. It has medium coverage and is buildable, but if you apply too much it will become cakey, so be careful that you don't apply too much. This is best applied with a very light hand and thin layers that you build up. It definitely gives me good coverage and covers my redness and uneven skin tone well.

It leaves the skin feeling moist, yet has a flawless matte finish. The dermabreathe formula does feel like my skin can breathe and doesn't clog up my skin. It may seem to be a thicker formula (as it is a cream), if applied correctly it blends well to a great finish. I really love how great this feels on my skin and it has spf 15!

I have found that this doesn't dry completely to a powder finish, but definitely gives a nice finish to the skin. You can use a powder lightly if you like to set it or if you have oily skin.

I would definitely recommend the Revlon New Complexion One-Step Compact foundation if your after a easy, quick and great coverage foundation, that is easy to travel with and can be applied anywhere. It can be purchased anywhere Revlon products are sold and retails $34.95aud.

Do you use a compact foundation? What is your must have item in your collection?

Affordable Makeup organiser storage from Target

A few weeks ago, I was in my local Target with my kids looking at the toys, as we always do!

Across from the toy section is the laundry section and there were some makeup organisers on 25% sale.

I had seen them before but didn't really think to look at them as I didn't think they would be any good.

But as there was a sale, I thought I would just have a quick look and I am glad I did. I bought two of the organisers, they are a great size, affordable and very sturdy.

I love them so much, I did a video on my YouTube channel to show them to you all. Check out my video to see how I use them and what I paid for them.




As far as I know these are regular products of Target and sold all year round. Check your local Target if interested. I love shopping at Target and other department stores, you never know what bargain you will find.

Have you got any great makeup organisers?

Alexami Perfect Puff Foundation Review

If your looking for the perfect mineral foundation that gives great coverage, excellent quality and easy application then this is definitely a review to read. I recently got to try the Alexami Perfect Puff foundation and it really is perfect with excellent results.

Do you ever feel that mineral powder is too hard to use? It gets messy? Can't travel with it? Not anymore.

Alexami Perfect Puff foundation is a 5 gram of product, convenient packaging, anti-bacterial puff packaging and mirror lid. I am so impressed with the quality and well designed packaging of the Alexami Perfect Puff  -  anyone can use it!

Alexami says: Keep your complexion looking flawless ON THE GO with Alexami Perfect Puff Minerals. Quick and easy to apply, perfect for busy women on the go. Alexami mineral foundation powder is a concealer, foundation, finishing powder, and offers high sun protection naturally - all in one quick and easy application. It gives your skin the appearance of a flawless glowing complexion while allowing your skin to truly breathe. It's light, yet still gives you full coverage without clogging pores or irritating your skin.


The packaging is so cute, it's the perfect size for anyone on the go and convenient to travel with as it has a screw on lid and mirror. Once you open the lid you have the puff applicator, just tip the compact upside and dab it around your face by applying pressure to the powder puff. Once you have enough product dispensed you can buff the foundation in circular motion on your skin.

Without makeup/With Alexami Perfect Puff Foundation

The coverage is buildable and blends out really well with the puff applicator. I really like that the applicator has quite about it, twenty holes, in it which means the product is coming out lightly and evenly.


It feels great on the skin, lightweight, great coverage and long wearing. This did not clog any pores and give a nice finish to the skin. Alexami Cosmetics are vegan,cruelty free, non toxic and safe.


I would definitely recommend this product - it's really great for those who have sensitive skin, want easy and non messy application and want a travel friendly product, great for touch ups too. This is definitely a great everyday foundation.

Alexami perfect puff foundation retails for $39.95aud and is available at AlexamiShop or beauty professionals.

Do you use mineral foundation? Would you try using a mineral foundation with a puff applicator?

Do you have under eye concerns? Garnier Anti-dark Circles Roll-on review

Do you have any under eye area concerns? For me it has always been finding the right concealer to cover up my under eye area as I have uneven skintone and need to treat my puffiness.

Recently I was given the Garnier Anti-dark circles roll on to try. I am so glad I did, I really love this!

The anti-dark circles roll on is a moisturiser and concealer in one, that you roll on under your eye area.

Garnier says:  Garnier Youthful Radiance Anti-Dark Circles Roll-On combines a hydrating formulation enriched with stimulating caffeine and clarifying lemon essence with a concentrated mineral pigments concealer to ensure coverage of dark-circles. Together with an ultra refreshing massaging roller-ball, which cools and refreshes the eye contour area, Youthful Radiance Anti-Dark Circles Roll-On provides a complete solution for dark-circles and tired eyes.

The tube is 15ml with a screw on top which is easy to use. The roll on is a metal ball that glides smoothly on the under eye area and dispenses the moisturiser/concealer. Just give it a little shake before you use it. I roll it on twice and then blend it in with my ring finger. The formula is cooling and feels refreshing under my eyes this would be due to the caffeine and lemon extract. It gives me a brighter and awake look for my puffy eyes. The concealer is yellow based and gives a nice coverage on my fair and uneven skintone. Below is a example:


Nothing on my undereye area

With the Garnier roll on.

It also is targeted at those who have dark circles. I don't have dark circles ( as you can see above) apart from some faint purple/red lines which this roll on covered really well. I have heard mixed reviews on whether this works on those who have really dark circles, so its worth a try to see if it works for you.

I reach for the Garnier roll on every morning now. I use it alone without any makeup and love that it gives me just enough concealer coverage to cover my uneven skintone and it gives me a refreshed, brighter look. If I am wearing a full face of makeup, I use the Garnier roll on as a final step in my makeup.

I would definitely recommend this to anyone, as I think it is a versatile product that can do something for your undereye area. The roll on comes in two shades light to medium or medium to dark. It is available in department stores or supermarkets and retails for $18.95aud.

Do you have any under eye concerns? Have you tried this roll on?

Elf powder brush review - great for foundation application



I am always on the lookout to acheive a flawless look by applying my foundation with a great tool. Recently I bought the Elf powder brush or I call it a stippling brush and I love it!

It is the perfect brush to apply foundation. It is a flat top, soft brush but dense enough. It is easy to wash and there is no shedding or bleeding. Elf is not available in stores in Australia but they have got an Elf Australian website now which has some of their products online.

I actually got my Elf powder brush from Tanty cosmetics for $7.95AUD.

On their website the Elf powder brush is described as 'super soft and beautiful to use these Taklon brushes are a makeup must have and can be used wet or dry!
The sleek black handles and perfect contours of each brush make applying your makeup super easy and professional'.

They are so right! The Elf powder brush is soft and yet dense enough to be able to stipple your foundation all over your face and then blend it all in, using circular motions. The top of the brush is a perfect size for my face and the handle is nice and sturdy, perfect for application.

I prefer this brush to a normal foundation brush as you are able to really blend the foundation well as it is round and great in density. I use this brush with all foundations, liquid, mousse and compact.


I would highly recommend this brush if you like using brushes to apply your foundation and want that flawless, blended foundation application.


Have you tried this brush? What do you use to apply your foundation?
