I’m pretty new to brushes, since I’m usually an advocate of the always-hygienic, super convenient smoosh-it-with-clean-fingers technique, but some products just really, really need a brush. I’ve been buying lots of brushes lately and thought I’d show you what I’ve been using in my daily routine, especially since I washed them recently and had a chance to photograph them while …
I’ve always wanted to do controlled comparisons of the eye makeup longevity, but there are lots of issues with actually conducting them on the eyes from a scientific perspective.

Essence’s newest trend collection is Me & My Ice Cream, a pastel themed collection, perfect for Spring! It’s supposed to be out October, but stands have been popping up in Priceline stores already.

Flawless foundation can be achieved much easier than you might imagine. It doesn’t take hundreds of …

Solstice is a dusty pink with fine iridescent shimmer, and the most wearable shade in this collection in my opinion. It’s subtle and pretty – I didn’t …
I’ve been excitedly waiting for Rimmel Apocalips since hearing about them on international beauty blogs, and they’re just entering Australian stores now. They’re essentially very pigmented lip glosses, which combine bold colour with high shine. They come in gloss-like tubes housing a doe foot applicator with a dent in the middle. There are 8 shades available in Australia, ranging …
