Here’s the next installment in my sunscreen review series – this time we’re looking at La Roche-Posay Anthelios XL Comfort Creme SPF50+ and Uriage Bariésun Creme SPF30. Both of these French sunscreen are targeted at dry/normal skin, not oily/normal skin like mine, so it’s quite likely that they’ll behave differently on drier skin. Unlike the fluid sunscreens I’ll be reviewing …
There have been quite a few skincare launches in the past few months, and I’ve been busy trying out all the new cleansers! Jurlique have been around for a while, but Boots No 7 and Skin Theory are two brands which have just launched in Australia which is super exciting. Here’s what I thought of the cleansers: Jurlique Purely Age-Defying …
A few months back I was lucky enough to have had Kaz of Pretty Serious make me my dream polish, Undercover Mermaid. Two other bloggers also had Kaz fulfil their dreams at the same time – Kristy of The Polish Haven, and Mary of Swatch and Learn. They’ve been sitting in my inbox for a while, but my nails have …
My go-to antiperspirant deodorant, Nivea Stress Protect, has recently come out with a clinical strength version, and since it’s been a while since I blogged about underarm matters, I thought it was time to revisit the basics of sweat science… What’s the difference between deodorant and antiperspirant?

Asian sunscreens are well known for their high SPF …
I went on a trip to Daiso last weekend and this cute little sheet mask set fell into my basket! For those of you who aren’t lucky enough to know, Daiso is a Japanese variety store where everything costs 100 yen, which somehow translates to $2.80 in Australia. This set contains 10 “blank” sheet masks compressed into little pellets, that …
Crop Natural Skincare is a new brand hitting the shelves at Coles in Australia. I’m usually very skeptical when it comes to “natural” skincare lines – I firmly believe in the benefits of things like mineral oil and petroleum jelly and preservatives, and hate when brands try to upsell consumers by scaremongering about “chemicals” – but this brand has won …
When I spotted Catrice Ombre Top Coat, I knew I had to have it. I love ombre nails, and this top coat promises that you can easily turn all your pale creme polishes into ombre manicures with just the one bottle – none of the frankening and desperate scrambling through your Helmer to find the perfect polishes to get a …
