myReview – LUSH African Paradise Body Conditioner

I was extremely lucky enough to try out a new product from LUSH before Christmas and I am IN LOVE!!

LUSH has released a new body conditioner called African Paradise which I have been using for the past two weeks and my skin has NEVER felt softer.

This body conditioner is used just as you would a hair conditioner to add extra hydration to your skin. I personally use a body wash along with a bristled exfoliating brush all over my body first, then finish off with the African Paradise to condition.

I wanted to see the difference it would make along side my exfoliating brush so I decided to only use the African Paradise on the top half of my body and I felt a massive difference to the way my skin felt on my arms compared to my legs!! You can really feel the oils seep into your pores but you’re not left with an oily feeling on your skin. I find myself not needing to moisturise after showering as my skin feels soft and moisturised already!

I also received A LOT of compliments over Christmas and New Years on how soft my arms felt and I could only give credit to the African Paradise body conditioner!

Just like all of the LUSH products, it’s filled with fresh ingredients such as natural oils, Shea butter and is suitable for Vegans. Not tested on animals and is packaged in 100% recycled plastic.

I can 110% back myself up and say that I will be repurchasing this again and again.

Grab yours today at your nearest LUSH store now!

Until next time,

myLipstick Secret

Want to know what these lipsticks have in common?

Well, I’ll tell you. They all have a little secret hidden at the bottom of their tubes.
Word around the makeup community is that, the Ulta3 lipsticks (which you and purchase from selected Chemists) also come with lip gloss on the bottom of the barrel. I was a bit skeptical at first considering they were still new when I bought them but I decided to try it out and lo and behold there it was!

I then decided to see if other brand lipsticks had the same hidden treasure. I didn’t have any luck with my Innoxa or Cover Girl lipsticks and frankly I didn’t want to push it, just in case it broke the lipsticks all together. I did manage to find that lipsticks by Savvy and NYX also had little pots of extra lipstick on the bottom! Out of the three NYX lipsticks that I had, only one of them had extra lip product while the others had some type of coloured rubber in the pot.

Go through your lipstick collection and try it out for yourself! I would advise not to go crazy pulling apart all your lipsticks though. Remember if it’s hard to pull apart it probably wasn’t meant to be.

myReview – Australis AC on Tour, Contouring & Highlighting Kit

So considering this is a “makeup and beauty” blog, I thought that it would be appropriate to get the ball rolling and do a review on the highly talked about Australis AC on Tour Contouring & Highlighting Kit.

Let’s start with the specifics. The kit is a six shade powder palette, with three different shades for contouring and three shades for highlighting, depending on your skin tone. The palette also comes with a step-by-step guide on how to apply as well as guides for choosing the right shade for you. It’s released at a RRP of $16.99 at all Priceline stores and everywhere else that stock Australis products. Each shade is numbered on the back and has a matte finish, with shade number 3 the only one with a slight shimmer.

They apply buttery and velvet smooth with a high pigmentation on the skin. A little goes a long way with each shade and I’d advise to tap off the excess that is on your brush. The kit is designed to accentuate and compliment the natural curves of your face and it truly makes a big difference as you can see with the before and after photos.

This is an amazing product and considering it is known to be a dupe for the Anastasia Beverly Hills contour palette, it definitely deserves all the hype its getting.

myReview: Cost price to quality, Australis has definitely hit the nail on the head with this one. Order yours now at http://www.australiscosmetics.com.au or visit your local Priceline and other stores that stock Australis products.

Until next time
