Brunette Beauty

Packaging: Sheer purple flexible plastic with reusable sticker top. Each square wipe is palm sized with rounded edges. Smell: None. Colour/Taste: None. Formula/ Texture: These are little cotton squares that measure 6.5 x 6.5cm in size. They are adequately soaked in remover that does a very effect job of removing eye makeup as it's own step or following up after the makeup has been removed. Each side does each of my eye makeup (eyeshadow, liner, mascara) adequately. I do find that once you start getting to the end of the packet, the pads feel drier and not as soaked with remover. It also makes it worse if the packet isn't sealed properly. I don't have particularly sensitive eyes but I experience no irritation with these pads. These are good at what they are for but I'm not sure they are entirely necessary. If you only wear eye makeup then these would be awesome for you compared to the normal face wipes. Available: ...

Packaging: These are like any other face wipes- they come in a plastic square with a resealable lid. However this lid is hard plastic that actually snaps shut to better seal the moisture in the packaging so they don't dry up as fast. I love how handy this feature is! Yes its a small changes to the packaging but not only does it mean the bottom wipes won't dry up as quicker, I don't have to be as careful with the opening and closing of the packaging. THIS is what I have been waiting for my face wipes!! Smell: Faint perfume smell. Colour: Clear. Formula/ Texture: I did try the green tea variety from their standard range in the beginning of the year, but these ones have more of natural ingredients in them. Unlike those ones there is actually a decent amount of 'remover' product per wipe. The wipe glides over my face with no tugging or pulling and I find easily removes the makeup including long wearing mascara. It's...

Packaging: Tall thin organe & white plastic squeeze tube. The opening is standard size and enough product comes out. Smell: Lavender, which isn't overpowering. Colour: White Texture/ Formula: Thickish cream with fine grains. I feel as though there is moisturising ingredients such as tea tree oil thats helps deodorize the feet leaving this beautiful refreshed smell. I think this smell subconsciously makes the feet relax and muscles loosen up. It's easy to apply from the tube an remove with warm water. I haven't had an irritation or itchiness. This foot scrub is a very gentle and fine granules. If you have sensitive feet or don't have course skin then this is perfect. For me personally it is a gentle foot scrub. If you prefer something a little more intense then skip this. Good th...

Packaging: Metallic teal plastic bottle with a snap close lid. Smell: Almost like fly spray but it's the Alpha/Beta Hydroxy in the formula. Colour: Butter Yellow. Texture/ Formula: The texture is thin cream that is lightweight, easy to apply and is easily absorbed. My skin looks and feels hydrated with no greasy after feel. Im not sure about the claim that the lotion exfoliates dry skin cells to uncover healthier skin, but my skin defiantly without doubt feels so much smoother and sexier. I like using this lotion to make my skin feel this way. I will defiantly have to compare this to other lotions, but so far I really like it! Available: From Priceline, pharmacies and discount department stores for $14 for 250ml/ 8.5 fl.oz

OMG OMG OMG!!! So I have seen pics of lush stuff, watched haul videos, then found an Australian sight WITH a store no far from me, which lead to more looking online and wanting, and finally today I went with a friend and brought my first ever Lush products!! :) American Cream - Hair Conditioner This is a double-strength conditioning conditioner, I wanted something that would be similar to a deep leave in conditioner. Lush say that American Cream was "inspired by a vision of 1950s US milk bars, bright red-leather-and-chrome, neon-lit cafes, where teenagers would meet and drink frothy, fruity milkshakes. Our creamy conditioner is what the girls would have used to make their hair soft before going out on a date, dressed up in their bobby socks and circular skirts."  This smells so nice, like vanilla with honey, vanilla, strawberries and oranges geez I just wanna eat it! I have used this and while my hair feels weird and rough once this has been rinsed out, when...

Packaging: Metal aerosol can with slight indent 1/3 down the can. Feminine swirl & pink pattern on the can. Light pink tinted clear cap. The spray is generous and soft with a wide nozzle. Smell: Girly. Perfumey and floraly. Colour: Clear. white is spray is built up but this fades Texture/ Formula: Gentle care for the underarms that protects from yellow stains on white clothing and white marks on dark clothing. There is a 48 anti-perspirant protection. The formula contains no alcohol so it won't dry the underarms. I like this deodorant. I feel as though that it stays on longer than other deodorants and I can feel that it hasn't faded away or sweated off or anything like that. I am really addicted to the smell. It's not overpowering and compliments my perfume. Available: From Priceline, pharmacies and discount department stores for $5 for 150ml.

Packaging: Thee wipes came in a special frosted plastic box to store them. 2x packets fit into the box. To be honest, thats the only reason I got them- so I have a system of storing my wipes in my bathroom. The actual wipes themselves come in a green plastic package with a re-sealable lid on the top. Smell: Like green tea. Colour: White face cloth wipes. The actual makeup remover product on the wipe is a clear liquid. Texture/ Formula: These cloths are very thick, or feel thick in comparison to the Neutrogena wipes I've been using previously. The makeup remover product felt dry as if there was little product on the cloth wipe. These wipes therefore didn't feel as thought the fully removed all my makeup, which I think made my face to be fully cleansed. The makeup remover product is oil & alcohol free, which means for me that it won't dry out my skin or cause breakouts. ...

Packaging: Twist off cap in a white opaque shimmer like squeeze tube. Smell: Like Palmer's Cocoa Butter line- coconut & coca. Yummness. Colour: Silver shimmer, icy white cream. Texture/ Formula: Thick cream consistency. Easy to apply and goes on like a body moisturiser. It does contain cocoa butter and vitamin E that moisturises the skin to make it more smoother. You do need a little bit for both cheeks if using it on the face. It gives a subtle shimmer on the skin that illuminates the skin. However I think that for use as a cheek highlighter, it will be too much shimmer and noticeable as its really icy. However for special occasions/ birthdays I think this will be perfect, but those occasions may be too far in-between for most users that this product will go bad. Available: From Priceline, pharmacies and discount department stores for $11 for 125g.

These were a free gift with purchase and if that wasn't so I wouldn't go out of my way to get these or try them out as waxing isn't my preferred method of hair removal. Packaging: The strips come in a small slim box. The strips themselves are pictured below and the wax sits in between to plastic sheets. Smell: Nil. Colour: Faint yellow. Texture/ Formula: Not sure what to mention here other than that the strips are 3.5cm x 7.5cm and contain chamomile extract. They are easy to use, just really have to make sure to warm the wax strip between your hands to warm the wax up otherwise the wax won't have any stickiness to it. There is also 2 remove wax residue after care wipes included. Precise strips that can be cut further to fit a smaller area. Long lasting in terms of hair re-growth. There is no stinging or the wax had a string hold and ripped off skin. Nair reckons to ...

Packaging: Pink squeeze tube. The packaging is opaque which isn't my favourite but it's durable and can be cut to get the remainder product. With this particular tube if I held it to the light I could see where the product lay and if I wanted to mark on the outside of the tube. Smell: Kinda flowery. Colour: Pinky white. Texture/ Formula: Very runny for a lotion and because of that I ended up with more product than I needed which wasn't that big of a drama as I rubbed the excess into my legs but still wasn't preferred. As it leaned on the runnier side, it was easily absorbed and non-greasy so much so that I had to double check I put hand cream on. The formula of this lotion has keratin for nail strengthening properties of which I did notice my nails to not be as weak even a few days after application and vitamin E. The tube indicates that you'll have 30% stronger nails and likew...

Packaging: Squeeze tube with half yellow opaque and half clear plastic. I can physically see how much product is left and not just judging by weight. As this scrub is thicker and grainer, a little bit of product can be get clogged around the nozzle. These are durable products that are also able to be cut open to use remaining product. Smell: Citrus & apple extract which is also known as a stimulating agent. Goodness I loooove  the smell of this is soo refreshing and awakening and just very pleasant. Colour: Yellow grain scrub with orangey-red beads. Texture/ Formula: It's thick and grainy in consistency with sugar particles. It's a little goopy but still easy to apply and remove. I feel that a good handful of product is needed for the entire body which means the product isn't really going a long way. Gariner do recommend usage of 3 times a week, so the tube will last you a month. No...

Packaging: This is the largest size available in the range and comes with a pump which is why I got it. The other sizes have a cap lid in a squeeze bottle. The colour of the packaging coordinates with the fragrance of the lotion and in this case is a golden brown with a deep brown lid. Smell: Tad like chocolate probably because of the coca but still amazing! Colour: Flat brownish/yellowish. Texture/ Formula: Normal thicker liquid lotion consistency. It goes on sheer and doesn't add a tint to the body. It's non-greasy and is easily absorbed into the skin which is a massive plus for me. It has good stuff in it like cocoa butter and vitamin E. My skin looks smooth and feels nourished and moisturised which is the whole point I think in using a body lotion. Anyway the cocoa butter is meant to help skin tone which isn't a concern for me but I haven't really paid attention t...
