I bought this in the shade Pioneer (a blue based bright red) after testing in store and for some reason walking away with what I thought was a lip stain. Somnething about the name and brief testing on the back of my hand before cleaning left me thinking wongly. This is a a liquid lip product, however it stains as well. It lasts ages but is not good for dry lips at all. As with most liquid lip products, it's very drying and if you have any lines or imperfections in your lips, it settles in making them look a bit pruney. I also found that unlike a lot of liquid lip products, this never completely dries down and leaves a tacky feeling behind. The advantage of this is a slight amount of sheen to the finish on the lip instead of a dead flat matte, but for me it made wearing uncomfortable. The applicator is great- a tear drop shape that holds enough product to apply to the whole lip and a nice pointed end to get a sharp line without needing to get a lip liner out. How does it last? Really well. A bit too well if I'm honest. Once the tacky finish of the top layer has worn off - seems to be 6-8 hours even with eating and drinking, the stain left behind lingers for hours and hours. Even when trying to remove with a heavy duty makeup remover and oil cleansers, the stain lingers. Without scrubbing off several layers of skin, the stain hangs around, outstaying its welcome.

I received a tube of this at the Beauty Heaven 10th birthday event and was very interested to try it out.
It a a thick nourishing oil that you apply as a spot treatment to severely damaged skin. There are a number of uses listed on the packaging. I found it to be very beneficial in treating some severe sunburn and cracked cuticles and things healed up far quicker than I am used to Being such a thick oil, it does feel a bit sticky and greasy so doesn't feel so great on large patches of skin, but it sinks in to the skin and leaved it feeling soothed and nourished The packing is a very neat plastic tube with a screw top lid and a narrow nozzle so you don't over-use the product This seems to be a great product to have on hand to treat those nasty skin issues that need a bit of extra loving.

I flippin love Carmex click sticks. They are the first thing I look for if I need a protecting lip balm while I'm out in the elements. And this is a two pack so it's twice as good The packaging is basic, but functional. The caps on the sticks don't fall off, and they are perfectly pocket sized The balm formula is quite thick. It is a tiny bit sticky, but it doesn't wear off, it will last between meals without re-application easily. The SPF is enough that you won't harm your lips if you're out in the sun and the thick balm helps that you won't get wind burn if it's cold or windy It feels a little bit tingly from the menthol on application and the scent is a bit plasticky, but I really enjoy it, especially the fake vanilla These are less than $7 for two and they do everything I need them to. I will continue to keep buying them

I received this as part of the massive BH birthday haul and was colour matched to shade 2 which is strange as none of the colours online seem to be numbered I have trailled this for the last few days and I don't think I need to worry about not being able to figure out what colour I am as I don't think it's for me.
While the colour match is great, the coverage is not. It is rather sheer and no amount of priming or layering is going to change the fact that it really doesn't do much evening out for my skin It doesn't seem to play well with my skin care and tends to pill with it. Given my skin care routine is something I've finally found that works for me, I'm not about to compromise it for a new foundation Longevity of this foundation is also a bit disappointing. I am on the oily side of combo, but by no means is my skin an oil slick....except after a few hours of wearing this which proceeds to prompt breakdown and separation of the foundation I think this could work quite well on drier skins, and it does a great range of shades to match most skin tones. for those who are oilier, I think it's worth passing on.

This brow gel is designed to give you a temporary brow tint at home You paint the product on to your brows, filling in the shape, leave the gel to dry and in 15-20 minutes, peel the dried product off and you have tinted brows that will last a few days.
So yes, the product does all those things. It is very easy to use, no risk of permanent damage and clean up/mistake correction is easy with a quality eye make-up remover or micellar water. In this regard, I guess it’s a nice into to tinting your brows and if it all goes terribly wrong shape and colour wise, you can recover There are a few things I don’t love about it though. The drying/peeling process- drying is a tedious process and if you are somewhere humid or warm it will take FOREVER. There’s also no guarantee you won’t lose a few hairs during the peeling process either. Not great if you already have sparse brows to begin with The colour range- There’s 4 shades which is better than many other brow offerings, but boy they run warm. The only shade that doesn’t fade orange (or start orange) after the second day is the grey/brown shade which would be way too dark for many people The longevity – three to four days tops between applications. Look it’s great having something temporary, but maybe a little too temporary. Evaluate how long it takes to fill your brows with a pencil or powder each day – a couple of minutes versus applying this product twice a week at 20 minutes a time. Not sure there is actually a time saving The value- This is $25 a tube! For Maybelline! And it’s a small tube. I’ve run out after a month (no other tinting or filling products in between.) Granted mileage may vary based on how heavy and frequently you apply but that is not great value. Paying someone else to tint my brows which lasts a month costs only slightly more with less time commitment and if I were to use a semi-permanent tint at home, it would be even cheaper I don’t think this is a bad product. I like it, it’s a great idea and can save you in a pinch. If you need a bit of a touch up to your brows between proper maintenance or at the last minute for an event, it will help you out, but I would not recommend as an alternative to a traditional brow tint.

I love this body wash, and my partner does too as the the fragrance is not too "girly" for him, which is great when I can snap up a litre of the stuff for under $20. It comes in a convenient pump pack that works, dispenses the right amount of product and is shower caddy friendly One thing I really like about this body wash is that in spite of being one of the sulphate free ones, it still produces some foam and lather and leaves skin feeling clean with no weird sticky residue Summary: Doesn't dry skin out or leaving it feeling stripped, cleans without leaving anything behind, smells nice but not feminine and is economical for everyday use. A definite repurchase.

I got a Foreo play for Xmas last year and have kept mine in my toiletry bag for use when I am travelling or at the gym as I already have a mini Luna at home.
It's now July and the Play has finally died and is now in the bin as it can't be recharged and the battery is not replaceable. I have used this probably 50-60 times since December, so with daily use you might be lucky to get two or three months out of it before it's done. That's an expensive cost per use for something that should be reusable. Oh you can get a reusable one... pay another $70 on top of the $59 for this, and get the Luna Go The size of this unit is great for travel, however the one touch button is a bit more finnicky than I'd like given I use this while my hands are wet or I am in the shower. The little cleansing nodules are very soft and flexible, and will not irritate your skin even if you press too hard. There is no timer or vibration on the Play, so you rub it around your face until you think you're done and turn it off manually The Luna range is something I really enjoy using and I would recommend if you are looking for a quality cleansing tool that doesn't irritate or over exfoliate skin. While they don't scrub away the top layer like a cleansing brush, continued use of a luna has kept my skin much clearer and smoother. The play is a nice idea if you're apprehensive about shelling out $120 or more on the rechargeable units, but I think is priced too high I wouldn't recommend the Luna Play as it's horribly overpriced and wasteful for a limited use/disposable product. Go to a shop that has them on display and have a play with them. Buy a rechargeable Luna, mini or Go.

This is a wonderful cheap and cheerful setting powder that mattifies and tones down shine without disturbing foundation underneath or leaving your face looking flat I use this all over my face to set my foundation or to tone down the shine when wearing just BB or sunscreen. There is a slight tint to the powder which does add a tiny bit more coverage. The packaging is super basic, but so is the price. You get 16 grams of product for$12 so you can't expect too much. The screw top lid is fairly secure, but I wouldn't trust myself to leave a pan in my handbag for fear of breakage I would repurchase this powder over and over again and I think it's a staple for any oily skinned people looking for a quality powder at a reasonable price.

I bought this based on a number of positive reviews made online when the product was first launched in Australia.
I have only just finished the can in the last month as the spray is very refreshing on super hot days.
I have oily combination skin that is prone to blemishes but found that this product did absolutely nothing with daily use so left it out of my routine after a month of routine use.
The spray is very fine and does work for a bit of refreshment on hot days; I've also found it is quite soothing on sunburn if you have any.
I probably wouldn't buy serozinc again as I can't see the value add over just spritzing regular old water on my face and at $25 a can, that is some expensive cooling.

I love this oil for giving my hair a bit of extra shine and reducing frizz. The result of using this in my hair just makes my hair feel smoother and easier to manage between washes I've noticed that a few other reviewers mention that this leaves their hair looking dirty or oily and I don't understand how. I have oily roots, long thick hair and dry, very damaged ends. I use two pumps of this oil/serum, rub it between my hands and smooth it over the lengths of towel dried or just blow dried hair and have never had an issue. I definitely do not apply it to my roots because there's simply no need to The fragrance is a bit strong, but dissipates quickly once applied to your hair. The packaging is a plastic bottle with a very convenient pump dispenser that stops you from using more than you need -unless you have seriously thick hair, one pump will definitely be enough This is a pricey product - as with anything Kerastase branded- but a little goes a very long way. I find a full sized bottle lasts me a year. I have just finished my second full bottle of this and will continue to purchase this magic hair oil.
