Alternatives to Laneige’s Strawberry Peeling Gel

A while ago I reviewed Laneige Strawberry Yogurt Peeling Gel, and at the end I dropped the bomb that it’d been recently discontinued, and some of you yelled at me a bit (cough)… so I’ve been exploring alternatives, because I love you all, yes I do! 🙂 A reminder of the sort of peeling strands Laneige’s Peeling Gel had: First …

Lush Friends With Benefits Massage Bar

My boyfriend isn’t usually interested in trying out beauty products… except this. He is an utter FIEND for massages and tickles (I think it’s mainly the undivided attention). I prefer the “dig your elbow into my back and leave it” school of massage, but he’s all about the touchy-feely. (I’ve been trying in vain to get him out of the …

Sukin Certified 100% Organic Rose Hip Oil

Sukin is an Australian cosmetics company who pride themselves on delivering effective natural skincare products to women at budget-friendly prices.

Their products are fresh and natural… but they’re also breeding grounds for bacteria and tend to go off. …

Review: Tweezerman Slant Tweezers

I’ve always been sceptical of the advantages a $20 pair of tweezers could offer over a cheap $5 supermarket pair. I don’t know if supermarket tweezers are the same all over the world, but the tweezers from Woolworths are pretty good here! Well, it turns out that the main pro of a fresh pair of Tweezermans is that, if you …

Cheap-but-awesome Australian brand ulta3 have just released a range of magnetic polishes! There are 6 polishes – 3 are neutrals, and three are in the pink/red/purple family.
