This is my absolute favourite, holy grail nail polish! I've been using just these nail polishes for almost a year now and have actually thrown out everything else because I can't see myself using anything else. This has a great range of colours (especially the nudes) and I've got about ten that I use on rotation. It has great pigment and the most I'd ever had to do was two coats to get the desired colour. I use this over a coat of Revitanail as a base and use the red sally Hansen top coat to finish and this lasts me a good four days with no chips at all and around 6 with minimal chipping. I love the small size as well because I find that I never finish a whole bottle of bigger nail polish. The price point is really good as well - especially when there's a sale. I can't believe there are nail polishes for over 30 bucks out there that don't last as long. I'm taking off one star because I've found that the formula cam get a little bit gluggy halfway to three quarters through the bottle but it's a very minor flaw given the price and the quality of the product. Highly recommend!

I've been using this moisturiser for three weeks now and am loving it so far! I bought it because I was buying the Liquid Gold on Beauty Bay and figured I would need a good moisturiser to go with it and it just so happened that BB had a deal where both could be bought together so a fair bit cheaper so it worked out really well! I love the packaging of this moisturiser - it comes in a tube so there'll be very little waste when you start finishing the product and it comes with a pump too so you don't need to fuss with lids or getting your nails in a jar etc. So ten out of ten for packaging - I haven't used a product before that comes in a squeezy tube and had a pump dispenser as well so I'm really happy with this. The actual product is lovely - it's light and has a very mild scent and is absorbed into the skin really easily. I do normally have problem skin and am glad to say that so far this hasn't caused any breakouts like most products with SPF do for me. It definitely doesn't have a matte finish so if you're wearing makeup over it you'll probably need a primer. I prefer my makeup to be dewy so I actually prefer the sort of shiny finish. I still follow with my Laura Mercier radiance primer and then with foundation etc and find that this moisturiser lasts really well under all of that. I get a bit oily in the T zone throughout the day but I think that has more to do with my actual skin than it does with the moisturiser. I'm taking one star off because almost $50 RRP for a 50mL is pretty pricey, even though it's a good product. I would repurchase again based on the quality and packaging but if I found a similar product for less (which I'm sure there are a lot of out there) and couldn't get this cheaper in a deal like I did on BB, I would probably consider trying something else. Overall great product! Maybe not worth the full price but if you can get it on sale or with a discount then it's well worth trying!

I've been using this shampoo and condition for over three months and can definitely say that it works. I naturally have very thick, straight, dark hair (and lots of it) but find that it loses volume a few days after washing and because of its weight, it can often look a bit flat. This was recommended to me by a friend (who has fine-ish hair but lots of it) and I've been using it twice a day for just over three months. It definitely adds a bit of thickness and volume to my hair and I've found that it doesn't get flat after a couple of days like it normally would. The smell is okay - nothing to write home about; just the standard scent for a supermarket shampoo. The only thing I've had a problem with is the packaging - for some reason I always seem to have a lot of water retention in the lid of both bottles which makes it a bit of a hassle when travelling because I need to empty each time. This is probably just to do with the bottles designed to stand 'upside down' which definitely has its pros but it can get messy. Aside from that and the long list of chemicals like another reader mentioned, it's a great shampoo/conditioner and I would definitely recommend to a friend :)

I've had this eyelash curler for about six years and it's still going strong! I never used to curl my lashes before I started using this and now I can't live without it! This curls my lashes so well that I don't really need to follow with mascara at all which is a massive bonus. The only downside for me is that it does pinch my eyelid a bit which is a pain (literally lol) and it's definitely not the way I'm using it because I have the shu uemura one and it doesn't pinch at all. This is still my go to lash curler though, super easy and effective! Really good price given how long you can use it as well, highly recommend :)

I got this a couple of years ago and though I liked it when I used it, I don't think it's that great anymore. It was pretty good for dry brushing but I did find that it shed bristles a little more than I'd like. It's got a rope, presumably so you can hang it in the shower but whenever I left mine in the shower it went a bit grotty so I started just leaving it out. I never really used the other side so I can't comment on that but as far as the brush side goes, I think it's just okay. The bristles aren't really abundant enough and the plastic that the bristles are on came unglued from the wood so I threw mine out. The main reason I find it so mediocre is because I forked out and got a good dry body brush from bodecare and the difference is amazing. The bristles are much more plentiful and just feel a lot more effective when you dry brush. And the handle is detachable so a bit more practical too. It's a lot more expensive too (worth it in my opinion) so it depends on what sort of budget you have in mind. So this manicare one is good enough but definitely not the best for me.

I got this brow pencil a few months ago because it was so cheap and I had a bit of an essence haul. I think it's pretty good - my eyebrows are very dark so I have to use the black pencil. My eyebrows are very thick as they are but I just have a bit of sparseness just on the arch on each brow. I feel like it's really good for this part of the brow but if I need to fill it in anywhere else (I did need to do the upper section awhile ago when they were overdone) then it looks a little bit too heavy and unnatural...I agree with one of the other reviews that says it's a bit too waxy. I'd be happy to repurchase again because it's really good - especially for the price - but in the meantime I might keep an eye out for something new.

These quick dry drops are fantastic! These are the first drying drops I've ever tried because frankly, some of the bigger brands charge way too much for them in my opinion. So when I found that this was super affordable, I was eager to try it. It's now an essential part of my nail process! I use this with my normal chi chi nail polishes (not quick drying) and they worked really well - I just put two drops per nail and after a few minutes my nails are dry and I can go on doing whatever I want without worrying about mucking up my nails. I don't do my nails without using these drops now!

I love these little blushes! I got a few off buyinvite when they were having a sale so they worked out to be about $8 each which is a good price. This was the first blush I've ever used consistently and I use it everyday now. I have three colours but the one I use most is lilas d'or which is a pink with a bit of shimmer to it. It gives a very natural flush and isn't sparkly like I expected. The brush it comes with it too hard and scratchy so I never use it; I find my Eco Tools Blush Brush works perfectly with this instead. The only downside for me is that even though a lot of reviews here say a little goes a long way, it hasn't been this way for me. It might be that the eco tools brush is too soft to pick up a lot but I feel like I need to almost scratch the surface to get product sometimes. Other than that though, it's fantastic!

These lip liners are really good! I decided to try lip liner for the first time since I wear lippy all the time and do anything to make it last longer. These are super cheap and I got them when they were half price at the chemist so were an absolute steal at that price! I put this on before lipstick and can't say it's completely transfer resistant but I did like it. I can't comment on feathering etc because I'm quite young and have to worry about that at the moment. Aside from under lipstick, these do give a nice flush of colour to your lips on their own!

I really wanted to love this but unfortunately it didn't live up to the hype for me. I have bad pigmentation and had been told that this was very high coverage so when my parents went to London, I got them to grab me a bottle (way too expensive in Australia for a standard 30mL of foundation). The colour I got, NC45, matches my skin colour perfectly but the pros stop there for me. The foundation has a very off-putting smell of paint (it reminds me of the tubes of paint you use in school) and I didn't like putting it on my face thinking of that. The coverage was medium at best I'd say. Didn't cover my pigmentation and I can honestly say that the Rimmel Lasting Finish foundation provides better coverage at a fraction of the cost (my only issue with that one is it doesn't come in my exact shade like the MAC one does). The worst part is the packaging for me. It comes in a glass bottle, which I feel is so outdated these days...tubes or pump bottles are much easier to use in my opinion. I needed to keep tipping the bottle and hitting it on my hand until enough came out. Why they don't just make them in pump bottles is beyond me. Not a terrible foundation but definitely didn't meet my expectations and way overpriced given the packaging and quality so wouldn't repurchase.
