Packaging: Small glass bottle with a white screw top cap. There is minimal packaging sticker on the bottle so you can see the product inside. Smell/Taste: Alcohol. Colour: Liquid is a yellow tinge. Thicker substance at bottom is pink. Formula/ Texture: This is one of those dual formulas so it's important not to shake this up. This'll disturb the composition which doesn't make the product work as good. To use this, dip a cotton tip into the bottle until it touches the pink portion, then dot this onto pimples only. Apply once a day for at least 3 consecutive days or until the pimple is gone. Applying this to the surrounding skin in patches will cause the skin to dry out as that's what it's doing to the pimple. It can cause this skin to become uncomfortable looking and feeling. So you do need  small amount. I'll tell you what this stuff is amazing and a life saver! Pimples are reduced overnight in size and gone within 3 for ...

Packaging: Palm sized tear drop shaped glass bottle. The screw on cap features a tear drop tip wand. While it's not a functioning dropper the fine point tip is able to control the movement of the product. I do find the nozzle/ opening to become congested with product that looks messy but easily wiped away. Smell/Taste: Hint of alcohol when nose is close to bottle. Colour: #20 Classic Ivory - light beige with warm undertones. Light - medium coverage with a natural finish. Available in 8 shades. Formula/ Texture: This is a smooth, thin and runny consistency.  Shake very well and it's best to apply in small sections, blending in quickly. Any tool works well with this but the warmth from your fingers will help it blend into the skin seamlessly. It's easily removed with a basic makeup wipe. I do find it to oxidise, turning a slightly darker shade so I'm not sure how pale girls will be able to find a suitable shade. The coverage is builda...

Packaging: Round & palm length tube. It features a gunmetal screw top handle with a flat thin but wide doe foot applicator. The bottom portion is clear which provides an accurate shade and amount indicator. It also has matching gunmetal text. Smell/Taste: None. Colour: Light Neutral - light with slight grey undertones. Full coverage with a satin finish. Available in 8 shades. Formula/ Texture: This is a thin, smooth but not quite runny liquid. It glides on fluidly. It blends in seamlessly with a Beauty Bender or brush but quicker with the warmth of fingers. It is easily removed with a basic makeup wipe. There is no cakiness, settling into fine lines, balling up of product, irritation and it doesn't break me out! A small amount is needed which is perfect bang for your buck and applied using the doe foot.. Using too much will cause it to cake. Although a setting powder isn't really needed as this sets relatively quickly. It is extremely ...

Glasshouse Pink Candle I love the smell, the colour and the purpose of this candle. It is expensive but very much worth every scent! The scent reminds me of summer which is perfect to get me through the oncoming winter! NARS Foundation Pump This little guy was only $4 and a lifesaver. It's made my Sheer Matte foundation last that little bit longer with no product wastage. I like that even though he wasn't expensive my money last longer as I can re-use this on a new bottle of foundation when the time comes. Redecorating my space I've been feeling a bit uninspired by my space lately and I've decided to do something about it. I got acrylic candy jars to store my beauty blenders in which makes it colourful and practical. I've pulled my candle jars out and arrange them in tiering pattern on my bedside table. On my wall I have hung three same sized picture frames with three different fun sayings/ quotes that just remind me of who I am. Th...

Packaging: Palm sized round plastic black compact with a rose gold Anastasia butterfly embellishment. Inside the lid features a full sized mirror and the powder pan. Smell/Taste: None. Colour: Medium Brown - mid tone brown with cool undertones. Pigmented with a matt finish. Available in 11 shades. Formula/ Texture: This is a very thin, satin feel power. It's not at all chalky but very lightweight on the brows. The pigmentation is very buildable but care has to be taken to not get this on the skin as this stuff is smudge proof! It does take a bit of effort to remove with a cotton bud. It blends seamless with the brows with a little tap into the powered going a long way. A heavy brow will result in a bold brow so it's important to use light feathery strokes in the direction of the hair growth. I was surprised to learn that the formula contains vitamin C & E which help nourish and protect. Maybe this is why the powder doesn't feel ...
