Brunette Beauty

  Packaging: Black coated wooden handles, brushed sliver metal ferrule and synthetic brush fibres. Embossed silver brush name on the handle. The hairs are super soft and feel super lightweight. Smell/Taste: NA. Colour: NA. Formula/ Texture: I am so impressed with these 3 brushes I picked up. They pick up pigment colour very easily. They're easily cleaned with a bit of baby shampoo. They're beautifully made being 100% vegan and cruelty free. The three brushes I got are; 103 Contouring & Highlighting - dense, rounded top with a slight flare at the top but tall bristles. There is more movement at the top of the brush then at the ferrule. 113 Crease - dense, rounded brush with long & slightly fluffy bristles. 115 Flat Eyeshadow - thin, long round tapered bristles. Fits perfectly onto the lid. I really want to pick up more of these, I am seriously so impressed!! Available: From Target and Myer stores, $10 - 40 depending on the ...

Packaging: Black opaque plastic shiny tube with a lime angular handle. The tube is hand length and features a wand made of write is a 'C' curved shape. I do find some product to catch on the tip of the wand which is annoying to wipe away before each use or deal with the mess. Smell: Plastic. Colour: Black - deep black. Available in this colour. Formula/ Texture: This is a thicker, stringy consistency. As in when it goops up and catches on the wand, the formula acts like string as it's being pulled. It's easy to apply, with the curved wand grasping the lashes up and coating them. It does take a specialised makeup remover to get all of it off. This can definitely be built up as a thin coat is applied. This makes a great layering mascara and won't weigh down lashes. On me it did add some volume but not much length or curl.  There was no irritation, smudging or transferring. I did notice some flaking inly once this reached the 3 month...

Packaging: Frosted hourglass shaped glass tube with a shiny, reflective silver handle. The applicator is a standard doe foot. Smell/Taste: Mint. Colour: Berry Blast - bright pink. Sheer pigmentation. Available in 20 shades. Formula/ Texture: This is a thick, smooth gel. It's easy to apply but I have to dip more then once to get enough product to move across my lips which might mean the stopper is really effective. It did apply patchy with one coat as to be expected with this formula. Additional coats did even this out. This has a high shine glass like finish which is absolutely beautiful. I love the cream pigmentation/ colour as I feel it provides more pigmentation. It doesn't bleed but can with poor application. This shade didn't settle into my lip lines but I'm not sure if the lighter colours will just as a note. It does transfer once in contact with food and drink so reapplication is constant. I did find this last about 2 hour...

Packaging: Cardboard box features an extravagant purple, pink, teal and good teapot with an Arabian print. Round thick glad jar with a suction glass lid. The glass is a pink/berry tint with a gold foil square with  the 'gh' initials and 'high tea' text. Smell/Taste: Black Tea & Cardamon. The scent throw is quite wide. Top notes: Apple Spiritz, Orange Zest, Bergamot Middle Notes: Black Tea, Cardamon, Clove Base Notes: Vanilla, Vetiver, Bourbon Colour: White wax. Available: LE for Mothers Day, from Peter Alexander stores, peteralexander.com.au or glasshousefrangrances.com.au for $45 for 350g.

Packaging: Tall, slim and sleek black and rose gold aerosol can. The tall cap snaps on securely which is comforting. The nozzle is standard shape and contains a average soft length/ width mist that isn't too hard. Smell/Taste: Sweet, fruity perfume. Similar to mangos and long lasting! Colour: Transparent. White in high concentration. Formula/ Texture: This is lightweight in the hair with no gritt feeling. I do find it applies evenly and strongly arms length away without the need to move the can around too quickly. It does a good job of refreshing my hair and removing oils but my hair feels more masked with a perfume rather then refreshed. The mist is softer then the Not Your Mother's so I use it on days when I don't need a hell of  a lot of refreshing but just a quick touch. I do find the look and feel of refreshed hair lasts for 7 hours, so mid afternoon. It can suffice if there isn't long until I head home from work. Girls with f...

Packaging: Fat, side, short & stumpy glass bottle with a black shiny wand. The brush applicator is typical length and shape. There is a pink white and black sticker on the front. Smell/Taste: Nail Polish. Colour: Clear. Formula/ Texture: This is thick and goopy. It applies easily with a thicker amount performing better results. This dries in 1 min and vastly extends the wear & chip resistance of my manicure by 3-4 days! This brings a total wear time to 6-7 days. This is tested through and washing, cooking, typing, moving objects just a lot of general use of my hands as a testament to how amazing this works. Seriously this top coat adds such a high shine to any nail polish whilst being virtually destructible. I meany any  polish - matte, glitter, grainy etc. I highly highly  recommend this it does an amazing job and is easy to remove, chipping in chunks rather in small pieces. Available: Only from femmefetalecosmetics.com.au for...

Packaging: 5 cent width circular rose coloured opaque plastic tube with a silver band at the end and silver text. The length fits into the palm with the cap quite long but clear. The colour on the tube corresponds with the chosen shade inside. The automatic retractable mechanise work smoothly. The bullet has a wide and soft pointed tip.  That does give a more precise application but I wonder how effective it'll be once it's worn down and if it can be sharpened. This style of packaging reminds me of their concealer & highlight chubby sticks. The size of this makes it great for the purse and on the go. Smell/Taste: None. Colour: 07 Super Strawberry - deep pink beery. Sheer to medium pigmentation with satin finish. Buildable coverage. Available in 16 shades. Formula/ Texture: This is a thin, smooth and tacky balm. It glides on easily on the lips but a few passes is needed in order to get full pigmented coverage. There's no pulling, feat...
