I didn’t take any fun lipsticks with me to Europe because my boyfriend stupidly refuses to kiss me on the lips if I’m wearing colour – even if I’m wearing a lip stain, he wipes his lips for a full five seconds afterwards. So instead, I’ve been using lip balms and tinted lip colour for this trip. In my last …
Montagne Jeunesse are a cult UK brand that I hadn’t noticed in Australian stores til recently. They do fun masks with natural ingredients – kind of like a longer lasting, less fresh Lush. Even if you’ve never heard of them, you might recognise their distinctive, Carmen Miranda-ish fruit-on-head packaging: I picked up the Creamy Coconut and Manuka Honey Peel Off …
All the way back in April 2012, I wrote a post on BB creams. Fast forward almost two and a half years and the “alphabet cream” market has exploded! What does it all mean? What’s a BB cream again?

One of the newest is Alpha-H Instant Facial, which I’ve been using …

If you’ve been around the beauty scene for the last few years, you’d have run into a few cleansing oils (as opposed to the oil cleansing method). The most famous is probably the Shu Uemura range, which has kick started a whole new category of cleansing oils, which go on and melt make-up like oils, but wash off cleanly with …
Essence have a bunch of new products in Australia that you may have seen on the shelves already – if not, go check them out! Let’s start with this gorgeous blush from the Blush Up! range – Heat Wave ($6.45). How pretty is the gradient? It’s a pretty coral shade. Despite looking very fluoro in the pan, it’s surprisingly soft …
