<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">My 5 yr old daughter
is a walking infomercial, almost every day she is telling me about fabulous
products she has seen in infomercials and even quotes them, one day I was
mopping the floors and she said “You don’t need sloppy buckets of dirty water,
you need a Shark Steam mop!”. Heaven forbid I get a pimple, I get told all
about Proactiv and told that Justin Bieber and Katy Perry use it! Just this
morning when I was straightening my hair she was telling me all about a
fantastic tool that can straighten AND curl my hair. So of course I’ve heard
all about the Ahh Bra and Thin Lizzy Miracle bra too (I will add here that I
was MORTIFIED when she was 4 and I picked her up from daycare and was informed
that she had used a sales pitch for the Ahh Bra on a mother picking up her
child!)</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">So one day
after shopping for Shapewear(review coming soon) I was at the pharmacy and
wearing an uncomfortable bra when I saw the Thin Lizzy Miracle Bra, it is very
similar to the Ahh Bra, feeling uncomfortable I could hear my little girls
words in my head about the comfort of the Ahh Bra and thought how wonderful
that level of comfort would be, plus the Thin Lizzy bra offered removable pads
for a dollar more so with a fair amount of excitement and dreaming of the
wonderful support and comfort promised I took it to the counter and handed over
$24.95. So here is my review</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Thin Lizzy

<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><i><b>Claims:</b></i>
Superior support, seamless, removable pads for shape and added lift</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">What I
thought? Well for one it sure is comfy. I even sleep in it. I get home from a
long day out and off comes my bra and on goes the Miracle Bra… yes that’s
right, I avoid wearing it out because the support is CRAP! The pads were
removed after the first 2 times I wore it as they kept moving around and making
the shape of my boobs just weird. It does nothing flattering for my bust and as
for the seamless claim, meh I can get the same effect from a well fitted bra.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><b><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Would I recommend
it?</span></span></b></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Yes and No.
If you want a comfy everyday bra that flatters your bust, I would suggest a
fitting at a lingerie store because this bra is not flattering AT ALL!</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">But if you
are looking for a bra that is comfy and good for lounging around and sleeping
in then yes, I feel $24.95 is an OK price. The colour range is decent too.</span></span></div>

Holy moly batman! I haven’t blogged since March and now its
October!! Where the heck has 2012 gone!? </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
Trying to look your best is simple, but can sometimes be
costly. If you are on a tight budget like myself you want to save money
wherever you can. Ah if only we could make our own make up…unfortunately for
most of us this isn’t a possibility, but there are things we can do to keep the
costs down.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
The following are things I have tried and I do love. I have
combo skin which is more on the dry side just in case this info helps anyone
who is considering using any of these tips.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
Save on shaving cream by using conditioner! You may have
heard this tip but the stuff really works. I prefer it over shaving cream, it
gets my legs much smoother and you probably already have conditioner in your
shower anyway!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
Ok this next one may sound kooky but if you are after some
damn good exfoliation try Baking Soda (also known as bicarbonate of soda). I
used to use Anew Clinical Micro something or other (at home micro dermabrasion
stuff) but Baking Soda works just as well for a fraction of the price. Just mix
quarter of a teaspoon with a little warm water on a wet face. I don’t recommend
this method to be used more than once a week. DISCLAIMER: I am no skincare
expert so cannot guarantee the safety of this method. I have been doing it for
months and it works well but if you try it, it is at your own risk, I have not
heard any safety concerns about this method.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
Olive Oil, oh how I love thee! Olive oil is great for
softening cuticles. Olive oil is great for hydrating skin, I like to rub a
little on my face before bed, tie back my hair and a towel on the pillow, my
skin is ultra-soft in the morning. It is also a FANTASTIC make up remover and doesn’t
clog your pores. How I remove make up with it is I smear it all over my face
and on my eyelids and lashes (hey my lashes have never been in such great
condition!) and gently wash it off with a wash cloth, I then cleanse thoroughly
as it can leave an oily residue on your skin. Olive oil is also great to help
dry hair, simply rub some through and rinse half an hour later.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
Honey is a great hydrating facial mask, Im talking about
real honey not the gooey stuff that you can squeeze out of a bottle. I will
warn you, it DOES feel horrible and it does melt while on your face (have an
old towel around your neck) but after 10 mins OH MY GOSH!! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Soft, hydrated skin.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><a href="http://simplystunninglygorgeous.blogspot.co.nz/2011/04/beat-dry-skin.html" target="_blank">Here</a> is a link to my blog post about honey.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
Lemon and sugar is perfect for a blackhead blasting, pimple
killing, acne scarring skin superhero! Use a cotton pad/cotton round and
squeeze some lemon on it,spinkle a little sugar and use the pad to gently scrub
your face in small circular motions (not good for sensitive skin). It leaves
your skin feeling super silky and you will see results. I like to do this once
a week.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
OK now this one is a real cheap (some may say nasty) tip. Now
what are those make up brushes called, the lash comb, eyebrow comb combo
thingy? Anyway I’m always losing mine and am too tight to go and buy them no
matter how inexpensive, besides they usually come in packs of brushes I don’t want.
What I do is wash old mascara wands till they have no product whatsoever left (I
soak them, cleanse them, rinse them etc.).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I use the traditional wands for my eyebrows and the rubber ones to separate
my lashes. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
If you have dry lips exfoliate them! To exfoliate your lips
try a baby toothbrush. It keeps your lips soft, smooth and flake free.
Afterwards apply your favourite balm.</div>

Sorry for the lack of blogging and videos recently,I have been having a few health issues which have finally(and thankfully) sorted themselves out.<br />
<br />
Today I am reviewing the Garnier BB Cream Miracle Skin Perfector,I had to see if it lived up to its claims.<br />
Before I got it I read and watched reviews from people all over the world and to be 100% honest from those reviews my expectations were not very high,despite this I thought I have to try it, what one may love another may hate.<br />
<br />
So what is BB Cream? I didnt know,nor had I heard anything about BB Creams until I saw the Garnier ad advertising this product. I visited Garnier.co.nz to see what they have to say about it,heres what I found<br />
<br />
In the beginning, Blemish Balm was a soothing cream used by German dermatologists to calm and sooth skin after facial peels and other procedures. <br />
The product was introduced in Korea and adopted by celebrities who happily shared their innovative, new beauty secret with local fans. It was an overnight success! Women, previously forced to use a multitude of different beauty products, were thrilled to find a cream that produced 5 benefits in 1 application.<br />
As women from across Europe heard about the product, Garnier put innovation to work and developed BB CREAM MIRACLE SKIN PERFECTOR for all skin types-Taken from the garnier website.<br />
<br />
So what is Garnier's BB Cream exactly? It is a daily all-in-one moistriser claiming to provide 5 benefits for instantly perfect skin<br />
These benefits are(from the Garnier website)<br />
<div class="centre mspuniqueformula"> <div class="mspheader"> <br />

</a></div><div class="flechedroite"><a href="http://www.garnier.co.nz/_en/_nz/bb-cream/product-effectiveness.aspx"><br />
</a></div><div class="description"><div class="coltxt"> <span style="color: #94c718;">1.<strong> HYDRATES for 24hrs</strong></span><br />
<strong>Microencapsulation of Lipidure and Hyaluronic acid</strong> doubles the water held in the skin for long-lasting hydrating care.<br />
<span style="color: #94c718;">2.<strong> EVENS tone</strong></span><br />
<strong>Mineral Pigments</strong> melt instantly, evening out the complexion for flawless looking skin without the heaviness of foundation.<br />
<span style="color: #94c718;">3.<strong> CORRECTS blemishes</strong></span><br />
Instantly smoothes the skin’s micro-surface for a natural coverage.<br />
<span style="color: #94c718;">4.<strong> BOOSTS healthy glow</strong></span><br />
The antioxidant properties of<strong> Vitamin C</strong> boost the radiance and natural glow of the skin.<br />
<span style="color: #94c718;">5.<strong> UV protection</strong></span><br />
<strong>SPF 15 UV filters</strong> block out the sun’s damaging rays.<br />
Easy on sensitive skin, with a luxuriously light texture that conceals blemishes and optimizes radiance, while protecting and nourishing your skin. A natural, healthy glow that is simply beautiful.<br />
<br />
So this miracle cream comes in two shades,light and medium which is a little dissapointing for those of darker skin tones.<br />
<br />
First off I will cover what I do not like about this cream<br />
The smell is a bit off putting. Its quite a citric smell to it,not gag worthy but not the most pleasant smell<br />
<br />
Next I dont like that its not very hydrating on the skin. I have quite dry skin(except for my t zone) and I dont feel like its very moisturising<br />
<br />
On my t zone which is slightly oily it only makes me look shiny,which means I need to blot or powder,not the end of the world but not ideal<br />
<br />
Ok now I can tell you what I love<br />
I love that it has more coverage than a tinted moisturiser but isnt quite a foundation<br />
It gives a healthy looking glow<br />
Feels like you arent wearing anything on the skin<br />
Blends very easily and seamlessly<br />
Helps to tone down redness and blemishes,evens out skin tone<br />
<br />
So whats the verdict?<br />
I overall like this cream,its a reasonable price($15-$17 approx) and it does offer most of the benefits it claims to. I do not think that this would be suitable for oily skin and if you have dry skin you can really rely on it as a moisturiser. If I was to rate it out of 10 I'd give it a 7/10<br />
<br />
See the results on my skin! These photos were taken on seperate days but this is generally how my skin looks without make up<br />
In the after photo on my face I am wearing<br />
-Olay Complete daily moisturiser for normal/dry skin<br />
-Garnier BB Cream Miracle Skin Perfector in Light<br />
-Garnier Anti Dark Circles roll on(under my eyes only) for fair to medium skin<br />
-L'oreal Volume Million Lashes mascara in Black<br />

I have the worlds worst feet. I have tough,dry,scaly skin on my feet!<br />
I hate feet, I hate how they look, I hate them being touched,they are for walking only.<br />
I cant wear stilettos,I just wobble(although I own a couple of never worn pairs). Heels are painful so I stick to wedges,flats and sneakers.<br />
But I realised my feet look awful so thought I'd try to get them into better condition.<br />
I asked my husband if he knew what I could do for my feet,he suggested scrubbing with a pumice stone. So we went to the beach and collected a HUGE bag full of pumice.<br />
So first I'd soak them to soften the skin then scrub. After a few weeks I realised I needed something more effective.<br />
So months later after trial and error my feet are in better (not great) condition but Im on my way so thought I'd share a few things that you can do to keep your tootsies in good condition or things you can do to help improve their appearance!<br />
So here is a routine for people with rough,tough,dry,scaly feet. If you have nice feet already you may just want to follow the maintenance routine!<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Fixing the problem</b></span><br />
First off you will need a few things before you start.<br />
You do not need to follow every step,it all depends on the condition of your feet.Mine are BAD so what I do is pretty extensive and time consuming<br />
<br />
-Olive oil<br />
-Cling wrap or an old pair of socks<br />
-A tub or foot bath of warm-hot water<br />
-Towel<br />
-Pumice Stone(or if you have something like a foot file you can use this,pumice can often be found at the beach)<br />
-Honey(you could also use vaseline)<br />
-A foot moisturizer or one designed for dry skin</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><b>Step One</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-WKINICui2yo/T0W153BIrZI/AAAAAAAAAOY/wbtFyZi2FDg/s1600/olive.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-WKINICui2yo/T0W153BIrZI/AAAAAAAAAOY/wbtFyZi2FDg/s320/olive.jpg" width="254" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><br />
Massage olive oil all over your feet,focusing mainly on rough,hard,dry parts of your feet. Wrap in cling wrap or pop on an old pair of socks and leave for 20-30mins. This helps soften the skin.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><b>Step Two</b> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="225" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-sazr4mR9src/T0W2Yaw9nJI/AAAAAAAAAOg/5CTzZKy3LnM/s320/cling+wrap.jpg" width="320" /> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">After the olive oil treatment remove the cling wrap or socks and pop your feet into warm-slightly hot water. This helps to remove the olive oil and further soften the skin. Use a cloth in the hot water to wipe the olive oil off of your feet. After 10 mins remove your feet from the water and dry gently with a towel</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b>Step Three</b><br />

Take your pumice of foot file and firmly buff/scrub the dry,tough areas of your skin. If your feet are really bad you wont be able to get rid of all you need to but its a start! Stop if your skin is becoming irritated or sore. Remember the condition of your feet could be due to years of neglect so you cannot expect to fix it in one go.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

<br style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;" /><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Today I'm just briefly covering the topic of face masks! I don't know about you but hair masks and face masks are a necessity in my beauty regime.</span><br />
<br style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;" /><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Facial masks are wonderful,they reduce dullness,improve skins texture,clean,unclog and treat your skin. They can help with skin discoloration,increase cell turnover, and boost collagen production. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Long term use can also help with blemish or acne marks.</span><br />
<br style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;" /><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">One way to feel like your looking after yourself and giving yourself a little pampering is to use a face mask,but sometimes its hard to know what to use! I'm going to cover here a basic simple guide for what you should choose,so rather than blabber on like I have a tendency to do lets get to it! Do remember a lot of masks will specify on the packaging or instructions what type of skin it is intended for</span><br style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;" /><br style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;" /><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">If you have skin <b>prone to blackheads</b> or if you have large pores a clay mask is a great choice. Keeping the pores clean is essential in reducing the occurrence of blackheads,clay masks efficiently clean out your pores. The larger your pores,the more room there is to trap oil. Clay masks can also help dry up acne. Look for the ingredient kaolin or bentonite</span><br />
<br style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;" /><br style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;" /><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">If you have <b>oily skin</b>, clay masks again are a good choice ,also mud masks will be beneficial.Both help absorb excess oil and grease,close up pores,clear up blemishes and reduce shininess which oily skin is prone to. Look for the ingredient kaolin or bentonite. Look for something that cleans and moisturizes because even though you have oily skin,you don't want to strip all the oil from your skin as you will be left with dry skin</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </span><br style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;" /><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b>Dry or mature</b> skins have very different needs. When looking for a mask look for anything that is moisturizing. This is important because we want to restore moisture into our skin. A good cheap alternative for dry skin is untreated,unprocessed,unfiltered honey. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Honey is a humectant and helps the skin draw in and retain moisture(apply evenly to the face and leave for 10 mins,this can get a tad messy when it melts but the benefits are amazing)</span><br />
<br />
<br style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;" /><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b>Combination skin </b>can be tricky.If you have an oily t zone and dry cheeks you could use two different masks for each area. Use a mud or clay mask on the t zone and a moisturizing mask on the cheeks. You may need to use more than one mask on different areas of your face.</span><br style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;" /><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">There are "universal" masks available,you really have to shop around</span><br style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;" /><br style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;" /><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b>Acne prone</b> skin can benefit from clay and mud masks . Some claims say that honey can help with acne due to it containing antiseptic and antibacterial properties but this has to be unprocessed and unfiltered to get the true benefits as the more the honey is messed with,the less effective these properties are. There is also information out there that unsweetened,unflavored natural yoghurt can help with acne as it has good bacteria which destroy bad bacteria and germs present on your skin. Some masks will contain salicylic acid and benzyl peroxide which are known acne treatments. I wouldn't recommend using such a mask unless you have all over acne,if you only have a small acne prone area on your face then either keep that mask to that area as those ingredients are very drying to the skin.</span><br style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;" /><br style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;" /><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b>Normal skin</b>?HALLELUJAH you! You will still benefit from using a facial mask. Just look for a mask specified for normal to dry skin. You can also use natural methods like a honey mask or yoghurt as these will both help promote skin health</span><br style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;" /><br style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;" /><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I hope you may have garnered some info from this.I haven't been overly informative as a lot of the masks today specify what skin they are suited for but if they don't, you have a little knowledge on what you are looking for</span><br style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;" /><br style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;" /><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Till next time,stay simply stunningly gorgeous xoxo</span><br style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;" />Simply Stunningly Gorgeoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11252274189286829846noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8145250127473173923.post-73283398985675405532012-02-13T16:45:00.000-08:002012-02-13T17:21:45.146-08:00Hair Mask Magic!<i><b><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Hair Mask magic!!</span></b></i><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Hello Lovelies! I really need to get my A into G(ass into gear) and do more blog posts!! Only problem is, because I feel no one is reading my blogs I feel like I'm spending time and energy talking to myself when I do a blog so if you read my blog and would like more blog posts,let me know!<br />
Right onto Hair Mask Magic!<br />
<br />
I recently started using a different hair mask but it's not as kick ass as I need it to be,so I got to thinking what I could do. Do I make my own hair mask(avocado,banana,olive oil and a tiny bit of conditioner) or do I think outside the box and make my mask work for me?<br />
So me being me and not wanting to waste money I thought OK,I want to make this work,but how? I then spotted my small sample of Argan Oil. Now if you LOVE haircare(even if you dont) you have probably heard about Morrocon Oil and how fantastic it is. Argan and Morrocan oils are basically the same(as they both provide similar benefits),difference is they are blended slightly differently(please dont take this as gospel,this is what I have been told).<br />
<br />
So anywho, I know that a morrocan oil mask retails for about $50-$60NZD,this was something I wanted to try but was NOT going to pay that kind of money.<br />
Upon spotting my sample bottle of Argan oil and my mask I thought(you know where Im going with this!)MIX THEM TOGETHER! I took a small amount of my mask and a tiny drop of Argan Oil and mixed them together. I then massaged it into the ends of my hair and mid way up(and I do a lil on my roots) and left it for 10 mins. My hair was so AMAZINGLY SOFT! It was insanely soft,even after I blow dried my hair it felt incredibly silky.<br />
<br />
The great part about mixing Argan Oil with a mask is that it is generally cheaper than Morrocan Oil. If you are wary about purchasing a full size bottle,see if you can get a sample(I bought my sample bottle for $5,you use so little it lasts AGES!!). Try it,you wont be dissapointed<br />
<br />
Till next time Stay Simply Stunningly Gorgeous! xx</span><br />

So I'll try this over the next few weeks and come back and let you all know what I think</span><br style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;" /><br style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;" /><b><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Buying</span></b><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hsHsl82WOBI/TyR9Ban8D8I/AAAAAAAAAM4/G--lnTA-7Ic/s1600/9300830002191.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hsHsl82WOBI/TyR9Ban8D8I/AAAAAAAAAM4/G--lnTA-7Ic/s1600/9300830002191.jpg" /></a><br style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;" /><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Recently when I joined the gym,they gave a few beauty samples. One of the beauty samples was the Dove Intensive Repair Deep Treatment mask. I am a sucker for hair masks because being a bleach blonde my hair needs a regular mask to help keep it healthy,strong and smooth.</span><br style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;" /><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">It came in a little 30mL tub which was enough for 2 uses and I have to say after the first use I was hooked! My hair was soft and incredibly easy to manage,more so than any other hair mask I have used before.</span><br style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;" /><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">It retails for $8.39 at countdown for 200ml tub so is easily affordable. I'll let you know if Im still in love with it once I have purchased and used it</span><br style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;" /><br style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;" /><b><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Loving</span></b><br />

<br />
First off,HAPPY NEW YEAR! It has been a LOOOONG time since I have made a blog post and I am so sorry. Life has been crazy busy and I haven't had a camera,less access to a computer in the evenings(which is when I did most of my blogging) but I am going to make more of an effort and now I have a camera,I may even do videos to supplement my blog!<br />
Anyway,I have been stuck in a hair rut! I finally have the colour I want but my hair seems to be taking FOR-EV-ER to grow! And I haven't many choices when it comes to styling,straighten or tie it up,thats it! Maybe I lack creativity in the hair department I don't know but I thought to myself a few weeks ago,hmm maybe curls?<br />
So I YouTube'd how to curl using a hair straightner,got the gist of it and straightner and hairspray in hand off I went.<br />
Half a head of curls and quater of a can of hairspray later,feeling defeated(and slightly light headed from the hairspray fumes) I gave up.<br />
I then tried the sock bun method I once saw on youtube,in the morning the sock was out of my hair and my hair was just a frizzy mess(my hair is too short for it ya see!). So I had to come up with my own technique and have come up with two ways to get curls.<br />
<br />
First method(overnight)<br />
1.Apply serum to freshly washed hair(to avoid frizz)<br />
2.Comb through wet hair,apply a small amount of hair product(I use fibre putty) from an inch down from your roots,to tips of your hair(do not use too much!!)<br />
3.Section hair into as many sections as you like(I reccommend 4-8 depending on thickness and length of your hair)<br />
4.Twirl each section into a little mini "bun"<br />
5.If you want your bangs/fringe to remain uncurled,leave these out<br />
6.Spray the "buns" with hairspray<br />
7.Take your hairdrier and blowdry your "buns" for a few minutes<br />
8.Go to sleep(try and use a satin pillow case to reduce frizz and friction)<br />
9.In the morning blow dry your buns before taking them out<br />
10.Run fingers through to loosen curls as you desire<br />
11.Spray with hairspray<br />
VOILA-overnight curls!<br />
<br />
Second method<br />
<i><span style="font-size: x-small;">This method is done during the day,best for if you want curls for the evening</span></i></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-gEXFfPRdx_A/Twu6bk3KMaI/AAAAAAAAAMo/FxEbGmm69iI/s1600/Jan+10th+008.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-gEXFfPRdx_A/Twu6bk3KMaI/AAAAAAAAAMo/FxEbGmm69iI/s320/Jan+10th+008.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><i><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span></i><br />
1. Follow steps 1 and 2 from the first method<br />
2.You can do this one of two ways,take your hair into a ponytail,sort of of like a scrunchy messy bun or into two pigtail scrunchy messy buns and spray liberally with hairspray<br />
3.Throughout the day let your hair out for 10-15 mins at a time and regularly "scrunch" your hair with your hands,tie back in place<br />
4:By the end of the day you should have messy but lovely curls. Set with hairspray<br />
<br />
While these 2 methods may be time consuming,I have found they are the 2 methods that have worked best for me<br />
<br />
Till next time lovelies<br />

</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Before I start I just want to make it clear that I am not endorsing young girls to wear makeup but am more providing them a guide that may be helpful for those who do want to start but want some tips.</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I want every girl out there to look into the mirror everyday and say to yourself "I AM FABULOUS AND I AM BEAUTIFUL" and truly feel it xox</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Its been so long since I've done a blog post I thought long and hard about what to blog about next. I had so many ideas and wanted to start each one right away but then stopped and thought to myself, stuff reviews and do something a little different. Now I've done the tips for going blonde and at home manicures and facials(links at the bottom of this post if you are interested) but I wanted to do something that would really help someone who is young and may be interested in make up or wearing it but doesnt know where to start! This is a combination of my own experience, what I know,what I wish I had known and hopefully at the end in the comments section maybe you could add your own advice and experiences, maybe link this topic to a younger sister or cousin or friend or someone who maybe has some more useful advice that I may have missed or simply have not thought about. </div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Ok so enough of my babble lets get to it!</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><i><b>Skin Care</b></i></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">OK, so you want to start wearing make up, this is when you should really start taking care of your skin. I started wearing make up at the age of 12 and this when I started using skin care products. What you should be using to keep your skin in good condition is a make up remover,cleanser and moisturiser. I don't see toner as an absolute must but it helps if you have acne or blackheads or large pores.</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">You need to be vigilant in washing your make up off otherwise it is going to cause skin concerns which as a teenager you don't need that on top of everything else going on in your life! After removing your make up follow with cleanser and make sure you really work it into the skin and rinse off thoroughly(I do this in the shower while I'm letting my conditioner work its magic). Follow with toner if you desire and moisturizer. Be careful not to overdo the moisturizer,I know I often slathered as much on as possible but really you don't need all that much. Also smooth moisturizer down your neck and chest, for this you can use a regular moisturizer or a body moisturizer if you have it.</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Also use products for younger skin, alot of brands are coming out with "young" ranges and these generally will be best for you(I'm talking age range 11-17/18). If you have problematic skin like acne, brands like Neutrogena have some pretty good products to help. Use sunscreen daily to protect against UV and UB rays or at least use a moisturizer with a good SPF</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Another important tip I'd like to add which I wish I had been told is DON'T use anti aging or anti wrinkle products. You may think you are getting in early and beating wrinkles but your young skin does not need it! If you are using moisturizer,looking after your skin and wearing sunscreen you are already getting in early. Trust me on this.</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Older teens may want to use an eye cream. Get something very light(eg no heavy creams).</div><br />
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><i><b>Time to talk make up!</b></i></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Now we get to the fun stuff, MAKEUP!</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">If your reading this blog you probably know a bit about make up or maybe just have an interest in it. First I want to discuss choosing make up</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Right now you have a choice when it comes to the basics but first off I want to butt in here and put across something<i><b> from my</b></i> personal experience</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Apart from the occasional pimple I had pretty lovely skin in my teen, skin that didnt need much if any coverage but yet I caked on the makeup which I now regret. The world we live in today has programmed us to look at ourselves with an overly critical eye, we are trained to find flaws that are only noticeable to us because we search for them. We are bombarded with what we are supposed to look like and they are often standards we cannot live up to. Please please please try not to critisize yourself and your peers too harshly, because you are beautiful and while I wear make up and talk about make up and hiding flaws, make up only enhances your natural beauty</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So when it comes to the basics,start with tinted moisturizer or a light to medium coverage foundation. Have a good look at your skin and what sort of condition its in,ignore the pimple that will be gone next week and think,<b>Do I need a tinted moisturiser or foundation that will give me a little extra coverage?</b></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">When you make that decision then you can start looking at product reviews and brands.</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b> </b></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I'm not too clued up with tinted moisturisers as I havent used many and dont particularly like them.</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So if you choose foundation the best tip I have for you is,when you go to buy one,take your MOTHER! YES YOUR MOTHER! Your mother sees you as you are,beautiful and she will be more helpful than your friends and she has your best interests at heart. She wants you to look and feel beautiful so she will be the best judge when picking out a brand and shade with the right amount of coverage. If you dont want to take your mother or she isnt in your life maybe you have an older sister or cousin who could take you. Either way take someone who is a little bit more experienced with make up who cares for you.</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Another thing,if you and your mother are similar in coloring she may have a foundation you could swatch which may match and will help in selecting a shade.</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I think at this age concealer is unnecessary </div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">A light pink blush applied with a light hand can look pretty and add color to your face but make sure your applying it correctly here is a link to one of my favourite YouTube guru's MakeupGeekTV's tutorial on how to apply blush <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtG5ILbf8mc">CLICK ME.</a></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">If you're an avid YouTube tutorial watcher you probably know about bronzer and contouring,I think at this age don't bother with contouring, a young girl with a sculpted face is a bit OTT</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">When it comes to eyeshadow,this is a personal choice,if your going to school your not going to get away with teal eyeshadow or peacock inspired eyes so netural colors,fawn,beige,brown etc are your best bet. YouTube gurus have so many tutorials for school make up that you may want to check them out before purchasing eyeshadow. If you want to try color and you have the money go for it,but remember you don't have to do it all in one go, YouTube guru's often have large makeup collections but these were built up over time, and your will grow too Brushes are really pushed on YouTube,and being young you may not be able to afford brushes, and thats ok,with a bit of practice eyeshadow sponge applicators can work just fine as long as you are not going for anything too elaborate.You may find that you dont even want to use eyeshadow and you dont have to either. To see a simple back to basic video on eyeshadow(not a schoolday thing but maybe for the weekend) check out one of my favourite beauty guru's videos, emilynoel83 <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eLha1k_hfyg&feature=feedu">CLICK ME</a></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Eyeliners,now these I think,so many young girls overuse eyeliner,the thick ring around your eyes,girls please please DON'T. Eyeliner can look good but you don't need the black raccoon look to do it. If you're going to school,you may not get away with eyeliner(I know lots of NZ schools would not let you) so you may want to skip it. If you do get eyeliner, brown is more forgiving color wise and pencil is a bit easier to master than gel or liquid liner. Again,there are tutorials all over YouTube for applying eyeliner and things. But remember, you are young so take time,you dont need to wear a million products and try and look 22 when you are 12!</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Mascara is something I am never without, dark lashes look great! If your colouring is dark(dark hair and eyelashes) black mascara will be fine but fairer girls(remember Im thinking more for school) may only be able to get away with brown or clear mascara,which will look great especially with curled lashes. Application of mascara in my eyes is important because if you do it wrong,it looks silly. I start from the base of my lashes and wiggle it while moving upwards and do it again,making sure I get the inner and outer lashes coated. Alternatively you can watch <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=InA8Xbg-hvo">this tutorial</a> also by MakeupGeekTV. </div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">For your lips for a school look go for a gloss(or creamy lipstick) as close to a natural lip colour,you want colour to bring out your lips but you want it to look as natural as possible(no hot pink or vibrant reds girls,leave that for the weekend!) </div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">And eyebrows,get them shaped or groomed professionally if you can,they will give you the best shape for your face and you can maintain them with daily maintenance plucking. </div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Well thats it for me(its 5.05am right now!). I will be doing a follow up blog on this with more info</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />

</div><i><b> </b></i><br />
<div class="MsoNormal"><br />
<br />
<i><b><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; line-height: 115%;">The website says</span></span></b></i></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">FALSE LASH GLAM IN A TUBE, INSTANTLY! <br />

SPOON BRUSH</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; line-height: 115%;">I was very dubious when purchasing this product, I mean come on, false lash effect using only mascara and the lashes you are </span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; line-height: 115%;">born with? COME ON! But I could'nt resist so went out and bought myself a tube of the waterproof formula</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; line-height: 115%;"><br />
</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><i><b><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; line-height: 115%;"> The packaging</span></span></b></i></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; line-height: 115%;">The tube is CUTE! Purple with aqua lettering is cute. The brush is a standard spoon brush but the solid part of the wand has a little flexible,bendy bit a short way down which actually makes it easier to apply the mascara</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; line-height: 115%;"><i><b>The product</b></i> </span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; line-height: 115%;">One thing I noticed instantly about the formula itself is it is VERY wet! Wet to the point where I would notice little splatters around my eyes after applying the mascara the first couple of times. After a few weeks the formula tends to dry up which is great for application but is really a pain in the arse because mascaras,after being opened have a lifespan of 3-4 months,so losing 2-3 weeks waiting for it to dry up so you can use it is pure wastage. You have less chance of finishing the mascara before it has to go to mascara heaven!</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><i><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; line-height: 115%;"><br />
</span></span></i></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; line-height: 115%;"><b><i>The performance</i></b></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; line-height: 115%;">I will give credit where credit is due, this baby creates awesome volume and amazing length,length like no mascara I have ever tried in my life! BUT it clumps like no other mascara I have ever tried so an old,clean dry mascara wand or lash brush is a necessity when you use this mascara. I did find after 10 hours it started flaking which was dissapointing.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; line-height: 115%;"><i><b>Does it fulfill its claims?</b> </i></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; line-height: 115%;">Well yes and no. It will give you longer lashes with more volume and while I have been asked twice,if I was wearing false lashes while wearing the mascara it does not give you the lovely effect the promo pictures show and you have to work with the mascara to get it to work for you. For example having to wipe the wand to get rid of excess product,having to comb through your lashes to avoid clumping etc</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; line-height: 115%;"><i><b>Price</b></i></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; line-height: 115%;">I think I paid roughly $26 NZD for this product but have noticed it varies store to store,so a pretty standard price for a mascara</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; line-height: 115%;"><i><b>Would I re-purchase?</b> </i></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; line-height: 115%;">This is a really tough one.

I find the softer brush easier to work with when it comes to creating a winged look and cat flicks. The brush is super fine so its easy to create a thin line but you can also build it up if you like a thicker,chunkier line!</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

Once you start using it, it flattens which means if your are trying to achieve and precise flick or a thin line, it is very hard to achieve. I also find the pencil very hard to work with as it is too long and harder to control. If you can figure out a way to apply it then it may be worthwhile because the pigmentation is fabulous and very dark,but it smudges easily and isnt very long wearing.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; line-height: 115%;"><b><i> </i></b></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; line-height: 115%;"><b><i>Does it fulfill its claims?</i></b></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; line-height: 115%;">Yes and no.

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4dPCvPotixY/ThBjJIs2llI/AAAAAAAAAME/BEE3zw6vhhQ/s1600/concealer.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4dPCvPotixY/ThBjJIs2llI/AAAAAAAAAME/BEE3zw6vhhQ/s200/concealer.jpg" width="181" /></a></div><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Good ole concealers! They can be your best friend,they hide imperfections,disguise redness,blotchy skin,dark circles etc. But if used incorrectly they can be your worst enemy. A concealer can make the world of difference to your appearance</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I am going to share with you my concealer tips and tricks I have learnt through trial and error.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">My preferred concealers are liquid and stick concealers. Stick concealers offer more coverage where as liquid applies more smoothly and is more lightweight.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">When choosing a concealer make sure you don't go too light. I have read time and time again to go lighter than your skin tone and well I couldn't disagree more! Using a too light shade can actually draw attention to what you are trying to hide,especially when it comes to the under eye/dark circle area. When you go too light it can make your dark circles appear slightly grey and ashy which looks awful. My advice is don't go more than half a shade lighter than your skin tone but don't go any darker than your foundation. Try to match your concealer shade to your foundation shade as closely as you can.</span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Concealing redness</span></b><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">My red areas are often around my nose and a certain spot on my cheekbone where I have broken capillaries. For this I first use a green based corrector which is designed to disguise redness followed by a concealer although if you don't have a corrector you can just use a concealer.I generally use stick concealer for fuller coverage with less product. I usually use foundation before concealer so I don't have to use too much(as the foundation should help hide the redness). But be sure to blend it in,if you don't you could end up looking a hot mess. I generally then set the concealer with pressed powder.</span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The under eye area</span></b><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">This is my most challenging area! For ages I read "use a shade lighter than your skin tone" and always looked ashy. Then I would use concealers too heavy for the inner corner and inner half of my under eye. I read everything I could and could never figure out what I was doing wrong,until I read that you shouldn't actually go lighter. How could this be right?I thought to myself,everything I read tells me go lighter and now I'm being told don't?Oh well I'll try it,I cant be any worse off than I am now! All I can say is the difference it made was WOWEEWOW!! No ashy look,I looked well normal yet flawless.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">OK moving on the two thing I struggle with is getting my concealer to not seep into fine lines(and ageing me) and concealing bags and under eye circles. Now these two how -tos have worked amazingly for me(yet I have never combined the methods so if you do you could and let me know what you did and if it works for you?!)</span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Method to reduce under eye concealer creasing</span></b><br />
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZccpciubDkQ/ThBlQD8eppI/AAAAAAAAAMI/g_xIViAbJwU/s1600/Photo2088.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"></a><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Its almost impossible to stop concealer seeping into fine lines and creasing but this method can help avoid it</span><br />
<i><b><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">You will need</span></b></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">-2 tissues</span><br style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;" /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">-An eye lid/eyeshadow primer</span><br style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;" /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">-A concealer that matches your skin tone</span><br style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;" /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">This method is pretty basic</span><br style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;" /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">1:Make sure you have not used an eye cream,if you have gently blot the area with a tissue to absorb excess moisture/oil</span><br style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;" /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">2:Apply an eyelid primer to the area you are applying concealer. Eyelid primers help stop eye shadows from creasing and work the same under the eye.You can use any eyelid or eyeshadow primer,I use Australis eyeshadow primer but have also used an avon one as well. Many brands have them available</span><br style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;" /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">3:Take your concealer and apply under the eye as usual</span><br style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;" /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">4:Take a tissue and separate it so you are left with a very fine tissue "film".Gently pat it over the concealer,this helps soak up excess moisture/oil without disturbing or removing the pigment</span><br style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;" /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">5:Avoid using powder to set as powder can exaggerate fine lines </span><br style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;" /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Voila! Crease resistant concealer</span></i><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Reducing dark shadows</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">This method is more than concealer but its an option if you have the products needed.The under eye correctors I talk about are widely available if you look for them.It is preferable to use a salmon or bisque coloured corrector(eve pearl and Bobbi brown both have them) but if like me you struggle to find one,I use australis gold colour corrector which works a treat</span><br />
<i><b><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">You will need</span></b></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">-2 tissues</span><br style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;" /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">-An eye lid/shadow primer</span><br style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;" /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">-A colour corrector designed for dark shadows,bruising etc</span><br style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;" /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">-Concealer that matches your skin tone</span><br style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;" /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">1:Make sure you have not used an eye cream,if you have gently blot the area with a tissue to absorb excess moisture/oil</span><br style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;" /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">2:Apply an eyelid primer to the area you are applying concealer. Eyelid primers help stop eye shadows from creasing and work the same under the eye</span><br style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;" /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">3:Take your colour corrector. Apply sparingly to the darker areas,including the inner corner of your eyes,including a little bit on the sides of your nose if needed.Keep applying until the shadows are faded or completely gone.</span><br style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;" /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">4,Apply your concealer as usual. Don't be too heavy handed as the corrector should have taken care of concealing the shadows,you are just applying the concealer to blend everything together nicely and create a more flawless look.</span><br style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;" /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">5:Set with loose,translucent or pressed powder</span></i><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Concealing under eye circles and bags</span></b><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">This I have struggled with for AGES! You can chop and change this method to suit you,I use 2 shades of concealers for this method but you can probably get away with one,this is just the way I have always done it. At the end I will also link the video I did back in Feb for this method</span><br />
<i><b><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">You will need</span></b></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">-2 shades of concealer,one slightly lighter than your skin tone and one that matches your skin tone</span><br style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;" /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">-A pressed powder(or loose if that is your preference)</span><br style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;" /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">1:Take the lighter concealer,with it draw a line from the outer corner to the inner corner of your eye</span><br style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;" /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">2:Draw a line from the inner corner straight down,parallel to your nose to parallel to your nostril.</span><br style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;" /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">3:From the outer corner of your eye draw a line and connect it where the line ends near your nostril</span><br style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;" /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">4:You have now made a weird triangle,blend the concealer in,make sure you blend it right up to your lash line and into the inner corner of your eye if you so desire.</span><br style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;" /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">5:If you wish you conceal the veins on your eyelids dab a little concealer over the lid</span><br style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;" /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">6:Take the darker shade of concealer and repeat steps 1-4</span><br style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;" /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">7:Take a pressed powder and lightly set the concealer,also run this over your eyelid</span></i><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> Now here is a pic of me with one eye done and the other not,you can see a difference!</span><br />

<br />
<b><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Concealing pimples</span></b><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I have found more often than not concealing large pimples can make them look worse. If your pimple is a Papule (a red lump containing no pus or white head) it is generally easy to conceal. A Pustule on the other hand has a "cap" or "head" on top,caking concealer on these can really highlight the area and make it worse.I'm not going to talk about cystic acne as I have never had any experience with it.</span><br />
<br />
<i><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">-My best suggestion for concealing pimples is DON'T! You want to let your skin breathe and heal. But seeing as I don't adhere to my own suggestion a few tips I have are</span><br style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;" /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">-When applying concealer to a pimple,do not use the brush,applicator or the actual concealer straight onto the pimple. Put some on your finger and apply with your finger(or a clean brush). You do not want to contaminate the product,if you need to add more clean or wipe your finger/brush before dipping it back into the product. </span><br style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;" /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">-Use some type of spot treatment under your make up. Tinted spot treatments are available,these are perfect for treating and concealing</span><br style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;" /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">-When using concealer on a Papule, gently brush from the outside in towards the pimple blending as you go to conceal the redness,you may just need the lightest strokes over the actual pimple to conceal.</span><br style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;" /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">-When you have a Pustule use the same method as a Papule,run the brush up the reddened sides of the pimple but try to avoid concealer on the head/cap as this may cause it to tear or rip off which can make it worse and spread </span><br style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;" /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">-Don't over conceal. This only draws attention to the pimple making it look worse.</span></i><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">So thats it ladies,hope I have helped and please remember to blend,blend,blend. That is one make up rule you should never forget or skip.</span><br />

Australis has to be one of my 2 favourite brands of makeup (and as you probably see from some of my recent posts I love love love their products!) so I thought I should do a top 5 Australis products. I then realised I can’t choose just 5 so bumped it up to my 10 Top Australis Products</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">So I wrote out a list of what products I own (as I have listed below) and choose my top products. It was a tough decision when it came to some products but I managed to be cut throat and chose my most used items. I only chose from the items I currently own,not the ones I have tried but no longer use</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">I love Australis Products because they are high quality without the high price tag.

<br />
I have recently gone from Brunette to Blonde,a long and lengthy process I can tell you! So going from my own experience I thought I would share some tips on the whole process.<br />
<br />
Before you go blonde I suggest you think long and hard about it and about the condition of your hair.<br />
If you are 110% sure you want to go blonde then awesome,if you are not sure take a week or a month to really consider it because you are going to be putting your hair through alot. Its alot easier to go from light to dark but going from dark to light isnt so easy. Also you dont want to spend alot of time and money and damage your hair to think a month later "I want to be brunette again" and all that time and money has been wasted.<br />
<br />
Now, think of the current condition of your hair. If your hair is in really bad condition I reccommend waiting because going blonde is hard enough on your hair as it is,bleaching damaged hair is asking for trouble in my opinion. I suggest working on getting your hair in a good condition first,maybe speak to a hairdresser for advice on doing so.<br />
<br />
A few other things you need to consider is,if your hair does start to snap,are you willing to go shorter length wise if need be. I had to as my hair was fried after the first 2 bleaches,of course this is all dependant on how your hair reacts. Each person is different<br />
<br />
My hair was not too bad but was not in tip top condition. I had 4 full heads of foils over a 2 month period I think,possibly a bit longer and lost alot of hair due to it snapping off,this is quite common.<br />
<br />
You should also be wary that if your hair is previously coloured or you colour your hair alot it may take alot longer to go blonde than if your hair is 100% its pure and natural colour. If you have regrowth coming through you also risk different shades of blonde.<br />
<br />
OK,so you have decided going blonde is something you want, you are happy with the condition of your hair you need to consider how your going to go about doing it.<br />
You have a few options <br />
1) Use at home bleaching products and do it yourself(or get a friend to help you)<br />
2) Go to a hairdresser for a full head bleach<br />
3)Go to a hairdresser and get foils<br />
<br />
My personal view is if you have previously coloured hair,go to a hairdresser. I have tried going blonde in the past,from black to blonde and my black was growing out. I thought 4 bleaches over 3 days was a good idea, this was the result(1 month after bleaching)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-84BK4-iErEg/TdvsmJnLaAI/AAAAAAAAALM/zs5hkkk92t8/s1600/24032_1425963495292_1418914707_31193750_5417793_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-84BK4-iErEg/TdvsmJnLaAI/AAAAAAAAALM/zs5hkkk92t8/s320/24032_1425963495292_1418914707_31193750_5417793_n.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br />
Not only did I end up with that,I ended up with open,weeping sores on my scalp that took a MONTH to heal! No hairdresser would touch my hair because of my scalp,even if my scalp wasn't so bad they probably would have told me to wait.<br />
<br />
If your hair is light brown you may be able to get away with doing it at home but any darker you do risk yellow/orange tones.<br />
<br />
The benefits of going to a hairdresser is they know hair! Its what they do best,they can also to an extent control the strength of the bleach which with at home bleach you have no clue of the strength. At home bleaching is cheaper but going to a hairdresser will help ensure you get the best result. <br />
If you have a friend who is a hairdresser talk to them and see if they can help you out. Also some Polytechs have "client" days where students,under the supervision of their tutor,will do haircuts,colours etc for a reduced rate. If this is something you would consider do a ring around.<br />
<br />
If you are quite dark I do reccommend going for a full head of foils each time,your blonde will be multi tonal but it also lessens the damage to your hair and protects the scalp. Please do remember if you are quite dark this will be a long and drawn out process.<br />
<br />
Ok so you have decided to go ahead,you know how your going about it but before you do ANYTHING I am going to suggest something I would have done(hindsight and all)<br />
Buy a multi use, deep conditioning hair mask(masque) for damaged hair and a purple blonde toner. This way once you have been bleached you have these products on hand. The deep conditioning mask is essential because you need to help re hydrate and start restoring your hair because it will be quite dry and damaged even after one bleach. A purple toner is used to help reduce yellow and gold tones in your hair after it has been bleached and can be used to help stop your hair from going brassy even once you have achieved the blonde you desire.<br />
<br />
Now remember once you go blonde some hair WILL fall out/break off,this is NORMAL but you do need to be prepared for it to happen<br />
<br />
I hope these tips have helped if you have been thinking of going blonde.<br />
<br />
This is my hair now after a few gruelling months of going blonde<br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">As a long time user of Australis makeup (10 or so years) I love when they come out with new products, so this time was no exception. </span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;"> Being a close follower of their facebook fan page I was well aware something was in the works before Paparazzi Perfect was released. When it was released I was so excited and was expecting a new big display at my local Radius Pharmacy and was promptly disgusted when these products were just simply shoved in willy nilly with the rest of their products. Not to bother I still had to try them!</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">First off I have to mention the packaging,I am in love love LOVE! The compacts for the eyeshadows and blush are sleek and shiny black but still have a funky look with their trademark hot pink,shiny labelling. Even my husband who(I’ll admit was a little tipsy at the time!) picked up my eyeshadow palette and another one of my palettes(I think it was an E.l.f one which is just matte black with no stand out labelling) and said “Now if I was a woman,I would look at this (holidng up Australis)over this(holding up e.l.f compact). It looks nice and stands out”. The compacts of the blush and eyeshadow also have large and very useable mirrors which is always a bonus!</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;"> The foundation bottle while simple looks very elegant and again I will say sleek. The tinted moisturiser just comes in a squeeze tube but looks nice all the same. Anyway enough of my ramblings, I am proud as punch to present my review of these fantastic new products!</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #ec008c;">What is it </span>The intelligent mix of High Definition balancing pigments with their amazing light reflecting properties creates flawless even skin perfection under any light.

A flawless, smooth complexion is achieved in any light. It provides a medium to heavy coverage with a subtly dewy finish. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">(Above is from the Australis Wesbite) </span><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">To be honest, I was not expecting to like this foundation. The claims seemed too good to be true. Also its only medium coverage, now for me I usually love my full coverage foundations so light to medium usually isn’t my bag</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">I have to say I’m ashamed of myself because this foundation is AMAZING! Since I started using it I haven’t touched my other foundations, not my Revlon, not my Maybelline not even my Australis Stay Put foundation which is my usual go to foundation!</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;"> This covered all my flaws and it truly does blur my imperfections. I even managed to go without concealer and just used a little extra foundation around the areas I need that little bit extra.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">I found this foundation easily blend able (and love using my Australis Foundation brush to apply it), its ultra light on the skin and I don’t look like I’m wearing foundation when I put it on! It’s like my skin, only better, it survives a good 8-10 hours and while I don’t get snapped by the paps on a regular basis , I have noticed a more flawless look in photos! I have to say I have found my perfect foundation!</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">There are 5 shades Nude, Natural Beige, Natural Fawn, Natural Tan and Golden Tan. I have Natural Beige and find it has quite pink undertone but as I have not swatched any other colours I’m unsure if this is a trend throughout the foundation line. It retails for $24.00 and for the quality of the foundation you are really getting a great deal!</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">I am not a fan of tinted moisturisers, I’ve always found them gimmicky and they only seem to work for people with good skin. I do not like going out without some form of coverage whether it be a full face of foundation or mineral powder.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">It came in a cute squeeze tube, I don’t know why but I have a thing about squeeze tubes!</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">I found this gave me a little bit of coverage but I looked like I wearing nothing at all but my skin looked good! My pores were a little more hidden, I had a hint of colour and the redness and broken capillaries in my skin were less noticeable. I have started using this on the days that I cannot be bothered applying makeup but do feel I need some colour added to my skin and my imperfections reduced without a full face of foundation. It comes in two shades Light-Medium and Medium-Dark and retails for $18.90</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: small;">They claim to be pearlescent; I think they are quite shimmery without being OTT. You don’t need to use a hell of a lot of product and they are easily blendable. The only downside is if you try to apply too much you get quite a bit of fall out which is hard to remove if you have already applied concealer and foundation. They have very little creasing(I love using these in conjunction with Australis Eyeshadow Primer),and they last ALL DAY. I give 2 thumbs up for long wearing, pretty eyes!</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: small;">These awesome palettes retail for only $19.90</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: normal;"><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-zlgxiU9Lumc/Tdmq_Pn8ofI/AAAAAAAAAK0/YYgPNPzDbx4/s1600/1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-zlgxiU9Lumc/Tdmq_Pn8ofI/AAAAAAAAAK0/YYgPNPzDbx4/s320/1.jpg" width="216" /></a></div></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #ec008c;">What is it </span>Perfectly blended multi-coloured blush that allows for customised shades to suit any complexion. Formulated with light reflecting and balancing photochromatic pigments that assist to create instant camera ready photos. Pigment is high in Mica content providing intense colour payoff. The blush is enriched with Jojoba and Grape seed oil to lock in skin moisture and soothe the skin. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #ec008c;">Why we love it </span>A smooth feel with intense colour payoff that provides an instant glow that highlights and contours cheeks. The marbled effect allows shades to be customised to suit individual complexion. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">(Above is from the Australis Wesbite) </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: normal;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: small;">I love blush so to see a complimentary blush in this range was awesome. I have the shade Flash It</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: normal;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: small;">These blushes are funky to look at, they claim to look marbled, to me they look like someone took the product in a liquid form, splashed a couple of colours together and it dried into a blush, which I love!</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: normal;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: small;">I was a little disappointed with how intensely shimmery my blush was, while I expect blushes to be a bit shimmery, this was insanely so. While it isn’t a bad thing, I do prefer more matte blushes. In saying so I do like this blush.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: normal;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: small;">Like the eyeshadows, this blush is highly pigmented ,long wearing and a little goes along way. It gives my cheeks a nice colour and healthy glow. I also use a smaller brush and swirl it in the beige and use it as a highlight on my cheekbones as it’s the perfect colour. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: normal;"><br />

It is quite odd because the screw top part where it opens is on the bottom which for presentations sake I don’t like but it doesn’t affect the product or the use of as you just simply turn it around. Like most Simply Ageless products you can see the serum(I assume that’s what it is) swirled throughout</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bPvMSKnWjmU/TcKgtFHIvqI/AAAAAAAAAKY/cUhn0hfff0o/s1600/simply_ageless_concealer_1-185x300.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bPvMSKnWjmU/TcKgtFHIvqI/AAAAAAAAAKY/cUhn0hfff0o/s200/simply_ageless_concealer_1-185x300.jpg" width="123" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><b><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; line-height: 115%;">The good stuff</span></b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; line-height: 115%;">-It blends flawlessly into the skin</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; line-height: 115%;">-Brightens the under eye area</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; line-height: 115%;">-For the first 2-4 hours fine lines are almost non-visible</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; line-height: 115%;">-It contains Olay Regenerist Serum so is helping fight lines as well as conceal</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; line-height: 115%;">What I didn't like </span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><b><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; line-height: 115%;">The not so good</span></b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; line-height: 115%;">-If you use a powder on top to set the concealer, it will instantly exaggerate fine lines and appear cakey on top of foundation(I tried this with Australis Pressed Powder, Revlon Colorstay Powder, Natio Loose Powder and Doll FACE mineral powder foundation)</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; line-height: 115%;">- I am quite pale and have the shade Light Medium and I still found it was a tad too light so have a feeling the shades tend to be paler than average or it is possible the white swirl lightens the concealer</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; line-height: 115%;">And what I really didn't like </span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><b><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; line-height: 115%;">The bad stuff</span></b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; line-height: 115%;">-2-4 hours after applying it settles into fine lines, although it can be reversed by lightly wiping the area and applying more but who wants to apply concealer every couple of hours!</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; line-height: 115%;">-4 hours after applying my imperfections were no longer concealed and possibly exaggerated</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; line-height: 115%;">-8 hours after applying my lines were very noticeable and you could tell the product had settled in, started to fade but not in the fine lines</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><b><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; line-height: 115%;">The cost in New Zealand dollars:</span></b><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; line-height: 115%;"> $22 approx(this may vary)</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><b><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; line-height: 115%;">In a nutshell</span></b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; line-height: 115%;">For a couple of hours this is a good concealer. I hate that I cannot set it with powder because it does instantly exaggerate the fine lines. I love the coverage in the first couple of hours and love how it doesn’t show my fine lines,it also brightens my under eye area. Although with all my praise it is dashed by the fact that after a couple of hours it settles into my fine lines unless I lightly wipe the area and re-apply. The benefits don’t last long and the negatives far outweigh the initial positive reaction.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; line-height: 115%;">It was $22,will I continue using it? Yes but only if I am only needing to be flawless for a few hours or I have the time and can be bothered with re application. Would I repurchase? Simply put, no.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; line-height: 115%;">So that is my review on The Simply Ageless Eye concealer,<i><b> please do remember that this is my experience and my opinion</b></i>, it may work for others but this does NOT work well for me!</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; line-height: 115%;">In the colder months we are often going from the cold, dry conditions outside to our warm, dry, artificially heated homes or workplaces. </span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; line-height: 115%;">This wreaks havoc on our skin(and hair!) and can dry it out even if your skin doesn’t normally have a tendency to be on the dry side. I have normal to dry skin so in winter my skin feels so disgusting and it seems that my regular moisturisers just don’t do much.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; line-height: 115%;">So I researched it a little and found my solution, nature’s moisturiser: HONEY!</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-dt0eRSkBABs/TbfutBqVmQI/AAAAAAAAAKQ/EcwidXUopC8/s1600/566986525_honey___.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-dt0eRSkBABs/TbfutBqVmQI/AAAAAAAAAKQ/EcwidXUopC8/s1600/566986525_honey___.jpg" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; line-height: 115%;">Yes, the stuff we use for toast or sandwiches and to naturally sweeten other things we consume.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; line-height: 115%;">Honey is a humectant, which means it attracts, retains and draws in moisture and because it is an anti irritant it makes it suitable for very sensitive skin (it also contains anti microbial properties and can help treat minor irritations and sunburn!). Honey can also help bring back silkiness and softness to the hair too ( I have included my hair regime in here too!)</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; line-height: 115%;">Ok so I have been using this little skin regime 3 nights a week for a few weeks now and I have noticed a dramatic change in the condition of my skin, it has lost the awful, almost scaly feeling and its feeling soft, smooth and supple again. So I’ll outline for you what I do, you may want to follow it to a tee, you may chop and change a few things or you may not try it at all</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; line-height: 115%;"><b>Step One:</b> First I wash, cleanse and exfoliate my face to remove dry skin and/or dead skin cells (I use Anew Clinical Micro Exfoliant which is more of a gentle at home micro dermabrasion type scrub but any regular exfoliant will do)</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; line-height: 115%;"><b>Step Two:</b> Once I have thoroughly removed all traces of makeup, cleanser and exfoliant I pin and tie back my hair and pop on a </span></span> </div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; line-height: 115%;">headband. Then I put a towel around my neck to cover my chest and clothing (trust me, with honey on warm skin you need it).I then slather my face in honey (it feels weird but it does wonders). It is also good to use after an exfoliant (especially a rough one) as it helps soothe the skin</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; line-height: 115%;"><b>Step Three</b>: For the next 10-15 minutes I sit with honey on my face like a mask. It is said that unfiltered, unprocessed honey is best but if you can’t find any, regular honey will do the trick. During this time the honey will melt and drip off your face, I just use a finger and slap it back on.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; line-height: 115%;"><b>Step Four:</b> After 10-15 minutes it’s time to rinse off the honey, I usually jump in the shower to do this as I can rinse it off thoroughly.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; line-height: 115%;"><b>Step Five:</b> You may notice that already your skin feels softer. I usually apply my regular night moisturiser and eye cream now. I also use Blistex Lip Conditioner SPF 20 every morning, noon and night</span></span><br />

They are<i><b> Australis Lash TLC (tender loving care) Conditioning Mascara!</b></i></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-EPC0i0K6G9M/TauLjlFQi9I/AAAAAAAAAKM/6ztxsknd49Y/s1600/image-tools.php.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-EPC0i0K6G9M/TauLjlFQi9I/AAAAAAAAAKM/6ztxsknd49Y/s320/image-tools.php.jpg" width="216" /></a></div><br />
<br style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;" /> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">First off I'm going to tell you the two different types,there is Lash TLC Conditioning Blackest Black and Lash TLC conditioning Black Curling. They come in darling hot pink and black tubes,they are so cute!</span><br />
<br style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;" /> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Now this is why they are so unique,they are conditioning mascaras which means they care for your lashes while giving you the look you want. They contain Vitamin E which helps protect against free radical and environmental damage and Vitamin B5 (I'm going to quote directly from the website as they explain it just how I would)<i> to moisturise hair against brittleness and breakage, strengthening and conditioning each lash one by one</i>(unquote here). </span><br style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;" /> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">For me,this is perfect as I have noticed alot of my lashes breaking and falling out recently, I do not know the cause,it may be my previous macara or it may be the way I remove my make up Im not sure but Im thinking if I can help my lashes then Im all for it!</span><br style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;" /> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Ok so I'll give you the little info from the website then I will give you my review on these two mascaras.</span><br style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;" /> <br style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;" /> <i><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>What is it :</b>The Ultimate All-in-One formulation combining volume, length and definition. Containing nourishing vitamins, Vitamin E to protect lashes against damage caused by free radicals and environmental stresses and Vitamin B5 to moisturise hair against brittleness and breakage, strengthening and conditioning each lash one by one. Also enriched with silk powder, a protein containing 18 kinds of amino acids.</span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span><br style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;" /> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>Why we love it:</b> Beautiful, nourished and protected lashes are just a stroke away. Lashes will be grateful for being treated with this All-in-One formulation that is not only a protein enricher but a lash fixer!</span></i><br />
<br style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;" /> <span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Now when I try out products,I make sure I know what the company claims the product does and then keep an eye out to see if their product matches their claims.</span><br style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;" /> <span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Now with Lash TLC I have found that even while wearing the product,my lashes feel soft, and after the first 2 applications my bare lashes felt healthier and softer. I have even noticed less lash breakage and less lashes falling out! So this alone is a great reason to use this mascara.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span><br style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;" /> <span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The formula of both types is quite thick which means you dont have to work hard to build colour. I have also found that my lashes are more voluminous and look longer(pics to follow). I have not experienced any product flaking and it is long wearing(12 + Hours).</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span><br style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;" /> <span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>Blackest black</b> provides an intense black colour payoff and comes with a regular bristle brush(as opposed to a plastic bristle brush that many companies seem to be moving towards)and my lashes look longer and thicker. I love it when you get added,unclaimed bonuses like this from a mascara</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span><br style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;" /> <span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This is how it looks on my lashes</span></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-oOQX9_3n6Mg/TauJI2SOqrI/AAAAAAAAAJ0/FYu_NIkhguY/s1600/Blackest.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="236" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-oOQX9_3n6Mg/TauJI2SOqrI/AAAAAAAAAJ0/FYu_NIkhguY/s640/Blackest.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span><br style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;" /> <br style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;" /> <span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Amazing how long they look,the intensity of the black does not show in my photo, but it is fantastic</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span><br style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;" /> <span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>Black Curling</b> has the same voluminous and lengthening effect with a "lift" and slight curl to the lashes. This curl is achieved by the curved "spoon shaped brush"</span><br style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;" /> <span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I have also found the curl holds really well and is pretty impressive when used in conjunction with an eyelash curler(please note the photo is only using the curl mascara)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span><br style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;" /> <span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This is how it looks</span></span><br />

I am in total,head over heels love with this mascara.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br />
It will be available in Farmers,Kmart and selected pharmacies from the 1st of May(I believe some Farmers stores already stock it but dont take my word for it)along with the new Paparazzi Perfect HD line which is new to Australis(foundations, tinted moisturisers,blush,eyeshadow etc). The RRP is $18 per tube</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br />
If I had to give this product a rating out of 10,it would be a perfect 10 out of 10! </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Both products are available exclusively through Avon (visit <b>avon.co.nz</b> to find a representative in New Zealand)</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-QIyWZaIWL4U/TYptbE63YUI/AAAAAAAAAJk/BKt5AYNmmuU/s1600/814607.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-QIyWZaIWL4U/TYptbE63YUI/AAAAAAAAAJk/BKt5AYNmmuU/s200/814607.JPG" width="189" /></a></div><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">First off I'll start with the <b>Anew Clinical Micro-Exfoliant</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I have been using this product since January and it is AMAZING! It is Avons "at-home alternative to microdermabrasion"</span><br />
<b><br style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;" /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This is what the Avon Wesbite says about their product</span></b>:<br />
<i><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The at-home alternative to micro-dermabrasion. Targets dullness, roughness, lack of radiance, uneven tone. This creamy treatment with aluminium oxide microbead exfoliants (the same materials used in a professional microdermabrasion treatment) produces a powerful polishing action for more youthful-looking skin. Massage over skin using small, circular motions for 1-2 minutes. Follow with a non-AHA moisturiser with sunscreen. Do not use the same day as other exfoliating products. Use every second day. </span></i><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I don't use this product every second day as I feel I dont need to(I use twice a week)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The first thing I found after using this product is there is no way I can massage it into my face for 2 minutes! The scrub, while the "beads" are tiny they are very rough,not a scratchy rough but more of an "Oh my gosh my skin is going to be so clean!" kind of way.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I feel if you have sensitive skin this may be a bit rough on the skin.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">After using it my skin feels soft and looks amazing(considering I dont like my skin without make up that is saying something!). Since using this product I have noticed old acne scars around my chin have faded dramatically and I have been experiencing fewer blackheads. My skin looks younger and "fresher". While I have never tried other at home microdermabrasion kits or microdermabrasion itself this product sure kicks butt!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">It comes in a 75g tube and a little goes a long way. It retails for $39.99 but Avon quite often have deals on alot of their products. Is it worth what you pay(even if you do pay full price)? YES YES YES!This exfoliant has become a staple in my skin care regimen.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Next up,Avons <b>Anew Clinical Triple Eyelift</b></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-_YMAnURFnN0/TYptbegNavI/AAAAAAAAAJo/kHRjClT60HE/s1600/avon-anew-clinical-eye-lift.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-_YMAnURFnN0/TYptbegNavI/AAAAAAAAAJo/kHRjClT60HE/s200/avon-anew-clinical-eye-lift.jpg" width="189" /></a></div><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I never would have used this product or purchased it until I recieved it as a Xmas gift,I mean come on a cream that does the job of an eyelift?Not possible. Well it is, kind of!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Anew Clinical Triple Eye Lift comes in a jar sectioned into two parts,one part contains and orange gel for the upper eye area and the other contains a cream coloured cream for the under eye area.</span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This is what the Avon website says about this product</span></b><br />
<i><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Unique, dual action formula to target the upper and lower eye area. Instantly: Lifts the appearance of upper eye contours. Smooths and tightens the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.</span></i><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I have been using this for a few months now and what I have noticed is,my upper eye lids(which have always been quite "heavy") have "lifted" though slightly, still noticeable to myself(although I havent asked anyone"do my lids seem less droopy to you,they would think I am mad!) and I have noticed fewer fine lines. So I think it does do what it claims but if you want the results of an actual eye lift,you will have to go under the knife, sadly.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I have found I can only use this at night even though it says to use it morning and night,once the eye gel dries I cannot apply any product to my lids as the product "pills"( I dont even know if Im describing it properly!). The under eye cream is also quite heavy and primers and concealers just do not seem to sit nicely on top of my skin when this is applied beforehand.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">It retails for $59.99 and as I said before Avon quite often have deals on, my personal advice is wait for these deals,while I love this product and use it every night, I would not pay $59.99(ask your avon rep to let you know when your fav products are going to be on special)</span><br />

</a></b></i></div><i><b>Australis Nail Colour</b></i><br />
<i><b>What is it: high shine, high colour intensity and streak free<br />
Why we love it: Creamier, brighter and more chip resistant! 2 coats is ideal but when we're time poor, even 1 coat provides excellent coverage. 8 hot new shades available!(taken from the website www.australiscosmetics.com.au)</b></i><br />
I have used Australis Nail Colour once before and recently re-purchased it again. I have only tried the shade Ohh La La(dont you just love the name?!Cute!)its a hot pink with like a purply sheen to it(the website says Hot pink with a purple pearl),anyway its a fabulous,stand out,look at ME! shade.<br />
<br />
Anyway Australis Nail Colour range has 19(yes NINETEEN!!) shades listed on their website(they also have limited edition colours out now but as I said they are limited edition). <br />
<br />
So they claim their polish is streak free,high shine and have high colour intensity. They also claim you can get away with one coat of polish if youre short on time,but how true is this?<br />
<br />
I tried to make my nail polish streak to see if I could but I just couldnt streak this product,which in my books is FABULOUS,it means that even the most unexperienced person could apply this and not streak it!<br />
The colour is intense(and my shade is oh so pretty) but I don't think it provides much intensity with one coat,it gives you a light coverage but I definatley reccommend 2 coats for full colour pay off,in this case I think it is more a case of personal preference.<br />
<br />
High shine?YOU BETCHA! I cannot believe how shiny my nails were after the polish had well and truly dried! I usually dont get that kind of shine without a top coat.<br />
<br />
Chip resistant,well it does do a pretty good job but being a stay at home mum my hands are constantly in water and wiping mucky faces,changing nappies so its not kind on my nails,so inevitably there will be chipping but its not huge chipping just enough to notice.Australis definatley had less chipping than most of the other brands I have used recently without a top coat<br />
<br />
The brush is also really lovely to apply polish with not too fat,not too thin,just right.<br />
<br />
Australis Nail Colour retails for $7.95 AUD Im not sure exactly how much it is in NZD,IF I remember correctly its roughly $11 and for everything it delivers it is a more than fair price! I love it and I think you will too!Simply Stunningly Gorgeoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11252274189286829846noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8145250127473173923.post-49850601740036912632011-03-04T22:13:00.000-08:002011-03-04T22:13:59.129-08:00Revlon Age Defying Spa Concealer product review<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:WordDocument> <w:View>Normal</w:View> <w:Zoom>0</w:Zoom> <w:TrackMoves/> <w:TrackFormatting/> <w:PunctuationKerning/> <w:ValidateAgainstSchemas/> <w:SaveIfXMLInvalid>false</w:SaveIfXMLInvalid> <w:IgnoreMixedContent>false</w:IgnoreMixedContent> <w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText>false</w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText> <w:DoNotPromoteQF/> <w:LidThemeOther>EN-NZ</w:LidThemeOther> <w:LidThemeAsian>X-NONE</w:LidThemeAsian> <w:LidThemeComplexScript>X-NONE</w:LidThemeComplexScript> <w:Compatibility> <w:BreakWrappedTables/> <w:SnapToGridInCell/> <w:WrapTextWithPunct/> <w:UseAsianBreakRules/> <w:DontGrowAutofit/> <w:SplitPgBreakAndParaMark/> <w:DontVertAlignCellWithSp/> <w:DontBreakConstrainedForcedTables/> <w:DontVertAlignInTxbx/> <w:Word11KerningPairs/> <w:CachedColBalance/> </w:Compatibility> <w:BrowserLevel>MicrosoftInternetExplorer4</w:BrowserLevel> <m:mathPr> <m:mathFont m:val="Cambria Math"/> <m:brkBin m:val="before"/> <m:brkBinSub m:val="--"/> <m:smallFrac m:val="off"/> <m:dispDef/> <m:lMargin m:val="0"/> <m:rMargin m:val="0"/> <m:defJc m:val="centerGroup"/> <m:wrapIndent m:val="1440"/> <m:intLim m:val="subSup"/> <m:naryLim m:val="undOvr"/> </m:mathPr></w:WordDocument> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:LatentStyles DefLockedState="false" DefUnhideWhenUsed="true"

</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">This age defying concealer is a miracle! I have huge problems with under eye bags and circles and while I have tried a lot of concealers none have had the same amazing results and staying power as this does.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">What I have learnt when it comes to under eye concealers is you don’t want to use anything to thick so cream concealers are out as they are more prone to caking and settling into fine lines and wrinkles(which is the last thing any woman of any age wants!). You also don’t want anything to sheer as this won’t effectively conceal what you are trying to disguise.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><i><b>This is what the website says about Revlon Age Defying Spa Concealer</b></i></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><b><i><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Instantly revitalizes and brightens. Protects against fine lines.</span></i></b></div><ul type="disc"><li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><b><i><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Stone Therapy minerals instantly energize stressed skin</span></i></b></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><b><i><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Vitamin C fusion brightens</span></i></b></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><b><i><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Antioxidants help strengthen skin’s natural defence system</span></i></b></li>
</ul><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-left: 18pt;"><b><i><span style="font-size: 12pt;">This is what the Australian Revlon website says</span></i></b></div><ul type="disc"><li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><b><i><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Brightens skin as it conceals dark circles and imperfections</span></i></b></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><b><i><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles</span></i></b></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><b><i><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Available in 3 shades</span></i></b></li>
</ul><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-left: 54pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">I found it odd that both websites say something diffe</span>rent but there you go!<span style="font-size: 12pt;"></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-left: 54pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-left: 54pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The shades available</span></div><div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="line-height: normal; margin-left: 72pt; text-indent: -18pt;"><span style="font-family: Symbol; font-size: 10pt;"><span>·<span style="font: 7pt "Times New Roman";"></span></span></span></div><ul><li><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> 001 Light</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 12pt;">002 Light/Medium</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 12pt;">003 Medium</span></li>
</ul><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">My pe</span>rsonal shade is 003 Medium which I found quite surprising as I’m quite fair skinned but I found light medium just made the inner corner of my eyes look grey/ashy(it is recommended you do not go more than half a shade lighter than your foundation as the ashy effect is common with a too light concealer)</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-left: 54pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">Revlon Age Defying Spa Concealer comes in a hard plastic tubular thingy(I’m sorry I really don’t know how to describe it but here is another picture)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-WELWvM1IwQM/TXHUKxeBmtI/AAAAAAAAAJU/faNAGypd8b4/s1600/050144_nocolor.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-WELWvM1IwQM/TXHUKxeBmtI/AAAAAAAAAJU/faNAGypd8b4/s1600/050144_nocolor.jpg" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">When you take off the lid there is a brush which is where the product comes out of when you twist the bottom of the tube. The brush can’t really be used to blend the concealer but you can brush the product on with the brush (if I’m using it to cover a pimple I use a cotton tip so as not to contaminate the brush)<span style="font-size: 12pt;"></span></div><div class="MsoNormal">It is a liquid formulation and while it is not thick and heavy it isn’t thin and runny either which is my opinion is great on both sides of the fence!</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">It has great coverage and doesn’t cake around the eye area or settle into fine lines and wrinkles and doesn’t seem to “crease” which makes us all look older!</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">It blends easily and lasts all day(make sure you do set it with powder to make it last longer)</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">It is great for people who have a little or a lot of discolouration, or if you’re just trying to even things out as it has buildable coverage which makes it an every (WO) mans type of concealer</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">In NZ it </span>retails for approx $28.50(this may vary) for 1.18mL(0.04Fl Oz)</div><div class="MsoNormal">This is my every day go to concealer,it is the best concealer I have used to date and it well worth the price! If I had to give it a star rating it would easily be 9 out of 10!</div><div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin-left: 72pt;"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; line-height: 115%;">So how do they stack up?</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; line-height: 115%;"><b>Shade Range:</b> Australis Mineral Purity has 5 shades available. Doll Face currently has 8 shades with 2 more being tested. Doll Face can also custom blend shades for more “in between” skin tones. <b><i>For this the clear winner is DOLL FACE</i></b></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; line-height: 115%;"><b>Price:</b> Now this one was difficult for me because while Australis is cheaper per gram they are also a large company whereas Doll Face is a small company and their foundations are handmade. But ultimately the winner here is Australis</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; line-height: 115%;">Ingredients: Above I have listed the ingredients of each product. Now below is a list of the ingredients and their uses in cosmetics. Ultimatley after looking into each ingredient the winner of this has won because it contains no skin irritants. <i><b>The winner for ingredients is Doll FACE Mineral Make Up!</b></i></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b>Both contain:</b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><i><span> </span>Titanium Dioxide</i></b> is used to impart a whiteness to colour cosmetics. It helps to increase the opacity, and reduce the transparency of a product formula. Titanium Dioxide also absorbs, reflects light (including ultraviolet radiation in light), which can help protect products from deterioration, meaning a longer shelf life.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><i><b>Silica</b></i> has light diffusion properties which are great in mineral make up as it effectively and seamlessly lighten and blur fine lines and wrinkles. When used in powders and foundations<span> </span>it allows the make up to luxuriously “slip” (this means it applies well to the skin and doesn't drag or grab on the skin) <span> </span>onto the skin .It is oil absorbent which helps mineral make up to wear longer and keeping it looking fresher as the day wears on.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><i>Mica</i></b>, due<span> to the sheer, translucent and skin-hugging effect of the mica mineral, your natural skin tone shines through when it is used in Mineral Make Up. Mica powder reflects light from the face, creating an illusion of a smoother, softer and more radiant skin tone. Fine lines are softened; and your skin texture appears more even.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span><b><i>Zinc Oxide</i></b> is a</span>nti-inflammatory with antimicrobial properties. It can actually prevent and protect skin against burns and irritation, making it ever present as one of the common ingredients of ointments that are used to relieve sunburn, windburn and diaper rash. For cosmetic use, this Zn compound is a very good sunscreen agent, it is the broadest spectrum UVA and UVB absorber, particularly good for people that have sensitive skin. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><i><b>Iron Oxides</b></i> simply impart a colour to cosmetic products. Depending on the specific Iron Oxides or mixtures of Iron Oxides used, the colour will vary from orange, red, yellow to black.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Australis also contains:</b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><i><b>Kaolin</b></i> is a pure cosmetic powder that absorbs moisture, helps keeps down shine, provides an opaque, white base for colours, and assists with adherence to skin. Kaolin Clay is odourless, has a smooth texture and often used in mineral makeup matte foundation formulas. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><i><b>Bismuth Oxychloride</b></i> is used in makeup because it gives the makeup a silky feel, good slip and good adhesion, which helps it stay on your skin. It feels smooth and silky when rubbed between the fingers. However Bismuth Oxychloride can cause skin irritation so when it is used in Mineral Make Up it is a potential irritant. Bismuth Oxide also creates a strong shine to your face which in turn gives your make up more of an unnatural look.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b>Doll FACE Mineral Make up also contains</b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><i><b>Boron Nitride</b></i> is hypoallergenic, anti-bacterial and whitening properties make the makeup ideal for use on problematic or sensitive skin types. It also contains oil absorbing properties. It is used to achieve a tactile feel on the end product, making the end product easily slide onto the skin, this<span> </span>enhances the product’s skin feel, wrinkle filling and hiding power.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><i>Silk Powder</i></b>.On the skin, silk powder radiates and reflects UV rays, acting as a natural sunscreen. It is has the ability to retain the skin's natural moisture, preventing dryness, while absorbing excess oil. For the acne prone, silk even contains anti-bacterial, and anti-inflammatory properties. Good quality silk powder also contains many <a href="http://molecular-biology.helium.com/topic/7952-amino-acids">amino acids</a>, like alanine, glycine and serine, which are the building blocks of protein and are essential to the skin's natural moisturization process. Pure silk is also ideal for sensitive skin, and balances the skin's ph levels.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><i>Magnesium Myristate</i></b>. Cosmetic pigments and fillers treated with Magnesium Myristate exhibit a moist softness, and improved adhesion characteristics. Magnesium Myristate is the combination of Magnesium, a imineral that has strong absorbent properties and some disinfecting properties, and Myristate a fatty acid. Magnesium Myristate contributes the following noticeable aspects to mineral make up: adhesion, free flow, slip, soft feel, rub resistance, lubricity, surface smoothness, and water repellency</div><div class="MsoNormal">.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><i><b>Allantoin</b></i> is <span style="color: black;">an anti-irritant and anti-inflammatory ingredient. It is commonly used in creams, for topical application, in acne medicines, anti-aging products, sun care, and many cosmetic treatments. Its healing properties also make it suitable for treating minor wounds and skin irritations.Great for acne prone or sensitive skin.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><i>Ferric Ferrocyanide</i></b> also known as Iron blue is used as a colouring agent in mineral make up. While it is listed as a water pollutant it is 100% safe to use on your skin.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span>Carnuaba Wax</span>.Plant waxes help to keep an emulsion from separating into its oil and liquid components, especially in cosmetics and personal care products that require a creamy consistency</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; line-height: 115%;"><b>Application:</b> Now Australis Mineral Purity comes with its own small Kabuki Brush attached to its lid but I find the brush is too small so it lengthens the application time and the size makes it harder to apply,also it is quite rough which makes it feel like it scratches my skin a little which isn’t good for people with sensitive and easily irritable skin. I usually use my regular powder brush to apply it. I find it can be a bit too heavy,almost cakey if I need a fuller coverage but is wonderful if I only need light to medium coverage,its gives me a very flawless look.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; line-height: 115%;">Doll FACE mineral make up foundation I have applied with both the Doll FACE Kabuki and my regular powder brush and have had no worries. I did test it with the kabuki from Australis Mineral Purity and had the same issues as I did when I applied Australis Mineral Purity. Doll FACE gave me seamless, flawless coverage and it was easily buildable to full coverage.<b><i>Doll FACE is the winner here.</i></b></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; line-height: 115%;"><b>Product Usage:</b> Both will last you a long time. I tried both with the same Kabuki and you generally need the same amount of product so <b><i>both are winners here!</i></b></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; line-height: 115%;"><b>Heaviness:</b> While both are rather lightweight Doll FACE was noticeably lighter so the winner here is <b><i>Doll FACE</i></b></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; line-height: 115%;"><b>Wearability:</b> Both are long lasting and both look great but Doll FACE does sit more nicely on the skin. Winner is <b><i>Doll FACE</i></b></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; line-height: 115%;"><b>Packaging:</b> Well both are cute. I love the lid of Doll FACE but love Australis’ black and pink combo so I go with<i><b> both being winners here</b></i>!</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

Ok so first time I tried this I was not a huge fan. It seemed difficult to blend, quite heavy and as much as I love full coverage it was almost too much coverage, but I gave it another try. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">The more I used it I realised I didn’t need to use AS much as I was used to with my sheerer foundations(I sometimes use more to build coverage which is a pain in the butt but with some foundations, when you love a formula...)</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">So two of my gripes with this foundation was it was too heavy and way too much coverage .But half my problem, I was using too much. In saying this it is quite a heavy foundation but it covers almost all imperfections (although I did use a concealer for my under eyes before applying, but it covered acne scars and broken capillaries <span> </span>which I had not applied concealer on beforehand ) so this was a huge bonus as I saved time by not needing concealer. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">The time I saved on concealer was however needed to blend the foundation, even though it is a liquid, it does take a bit of effort to blend it flawlessly into the skin. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">At this point, the foundation on a whole may seem a bit iffy, amazing </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Coverage but heavy and hard to blend, so far not looking too hot, so let me continue!</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">The next claim is to withstand heat and humidity. In NZ(for my overseas followers) we are in Summer and boy it is HOT! We all know when we are running around doing our day to day things in heat we can get a bit sweaty. I’ve been pretty sweaty all day and my foundation has had no change or meltdown, in fact it still looks pretty flawless(it’s 5.40pm)!<span> </span>It really does stand up to heat and humidity and does it well</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">The heaviness of the foundation either disappears or you don’t notice it as the day goes on because after about 20mins I didn’t even notice it was any heavier than say Australis Stay put foundation or Revlon Colorstay</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Mascara not only temporarily darkens and colours your lashes it also can dramatically alter the look. 3 common mascaras are volumising, lengthening and curling.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Volumising mascaras are designed to make your lashes look thicker and like you have many of them.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Lengthening is designed to make your lashes appear longer than they really are</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Curling mascaras help to curl your lashes, curled lashes help open up your eyes making you look more awake and can help your eyes appear larger</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Generally it is not only the formulation that helps you get the desired result it is the mascara wand/brush. For example Avon Super Curlacious has a curved wand which cups your lashes to enhance curl</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Avon Super Extend has quite a thin wand which separates lashes and helps them look much longer</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Volumising Mascaras often have fat and thick wands (like Cover girl Lash Blast)</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Eyelash tinting is another way to darken your eyelashes. This a perfect option for women who like wearing mascara but either don’t have the time to apply mascara and remove it at the end of the day or someone who has pale lashes and wants around the clock colour to their lashes. There is little need to wear mascara(unless you want to add volume or length,curl can be achieved with an eyelash curler)</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Eyelash tinting takes about 10-15 minutes and last 3-5 weeks. It is often done with a vegetable dye. There are at home kits you can buy although I personally feel safer getting them done in a salon</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><b>WARNING:</b>. </span><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">If you choose to get your eyelashes tinted, be sure that the salon is reputable and has a long history of successful eyelash tinting. <br />
Do not go to a salon that has just introduced eyelash tinting on its menu of services--this likely means that the therapist recently learned how to do the procedure. Visit a salon who has been doing it for years instead.In extreme cases, eyelash tinting has been known to cause temporary blindness and severe reactions of the eye. At very least, many women who get their eyelashes tinted experience stinging and watery eyes. This is why it is especially imperative to select a qualified salon that comes highly recommended for eyelash tinting. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody>

This helps to lift the lashes away from the eye, this in turn makes your eyes appear wider(open)and a little more dramatic.</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">There are a few options when it comes to eyelash curlers plastic(in my opinion they are useless),metal(pictured.Can be heated with a hairdryer) or heated lash curlers(which can either be battery operated or plugged in)</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Heated Curlers are great as heat helps the curl hold for a longer period of time,although you can get similar results from a metal eyelash curler by blasting it with heat from a hairdryer for a few seconds.</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">You need to take care when using eyelash curlers, don’t use them after you have applied mascara and do not use them when you are in a rush,if you haven’t fully unclamped them and move your hand away you can weaken or even pull out your eyelashes. Always make sure your eyelashes and eyelash curler are completely clean</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">How to use an eyelash curler (metal)</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin-left: 36pt; text-indent: -18pt;"><ul><li><span style="font-size: small;">·<span style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"> </span></span><span style="font-size: small;">Make sure eyelashes are completely clean, if necessary use an eye makeup remover to make sure there is no residual mascara left over from the day before.</span></li>

Its a good option for those whose eyelashes don’t hold a curl, are super straight or don’t like eyelash curlers but love curled lashes. I do not know a hell of alot when it comes to eyelash perming but here are the basics</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>What’s involved</b></i>: You lie down and close your eyes as your lashes get wrapped around a thin roller .As a protective measure gauze is placed under your eyes. A perming solution is now applied to your lashes and left to set. Other formulas may be brushed onto the lashes for conditioning purposes. This can take up to an hour.</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b><span style="font-size: small;">ONLY EVER GET THIS DONE PROFESSIONALLY. NEVER ATTEMPT TO PERM YOUR OWN LASHES OR SOMEONE ELSES UNLESS YOU ARE TRAINED AN QUALIFIED TO DO SO.</span></b></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Please note that there are very real dangers when it comes to eyelash perming, if this is something you consider getting done make sure you do your homework so you are well aware of the risks and be doubly sure the person who performs it is highly skilled and trained</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />

They are available in strips or single “clusters”. I have never used “clusters/single” eyelashes so can only really talk about strip lashes.</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The way false eyelashes work is you apply the specially desgined eyelash glue to the strip of lashes and once it is tacky you place it as close to your lash line as possible. This can be tricky and take alot of practice but the results are well worth it in my opinion.</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">False eyelashes come in many different styles from natural,to very long and dramatic and even coloured and designs. </span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I found applying eyelashes very difficult so I actually cut my falsies in half and just use halves on the outer half of my eyes(it doesn’t look as ridiculous as it sounds).It make applying them so much easier. Here is my simple guide to applying eyelashes(I did have step by step photos but for some reason cannot get them onto my computer!)</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin-left: 36pt; text-indent: -18pt;"><ul><li><span style="font-size: small;">·<span style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"> </span></span><span style="font-size: small;">If using a full strip make sure the lashes fit your lash lash line,if they are too long and wider than your eye trim them using a clean pair of nail scissors or similar smaller scissors(for hygiene I place my scissors in boiling hot water for a few mins then wipe them with an anti bacterial wipe or baby wipe then allow them to dry on a clean paper towel.)</span></li>
</ul></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin-left: 36pt; text-indent: -18pt;"><ul><li><span style="font-size: small;">·<span style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"> </span></span><span style="font-size: small;">Now I usually apply a dab of glue to my plastic eyelash case(after thoroughly cleaning it) and use a cotton tip(Q Tip)dip it into the glue and run it along the base of my eyelash strip</span></li>
</ul></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin-left: 36pt; text-indent: -18pt;"><ul><li><span style="font-size: small;">·<span style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"> </span></span><span style="font-size: small;">Wait for the glue to become “tacky”. Usually the glue will give you a rough guide of how long this will take</span></li>
</ul></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin-left: 36pt; text-indent: -18pt;"><ul><li><span style="font-size: small;">·<span style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"> </span></span><span style="font-size: small;"> I usually have a mirror placed on a table of a dresser that I look down into. I take the lash strip and place it as close to my lash line as possible. You may prefer to use tweezers to do this,I just use my fingers.Be careful not to glue the strip to your natural lashes</span></li>
</ul></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin-left: 36pt; text-indent: -18pt;"><ul style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><li><span style="font-size: small;">·<span style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"> </span></span><span style="font-size: small;">Using your fingers press from end to end and hold until the glue dries. This may be a no no but this is the point I usually push the lashes closer to my lash line if need be.After 30 seconds to a minute the glue should be dry </span></li>
</ul><span style="font-size: small;">Use eyeliner to fill in any gaps between the falsies and your lash line(I use liquid or gel liner)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">My next step is I curl the fake lash (also probably a huge no no) and my natural lashes. Then I dust a little translucent powder on my natural lashes(inner half as I only use half strips) and apply and lengthening mascara. The translucent powder helps plump up your lashed without using a volumising mascara so in conjunction with the curler and lengthening mascara I have curlier, thicker, longer lashes. You can use this method when your not using false lashes too!</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />

While I love them on other people I had a bad experience which has stopped me from getting them done again,but it all depends on who you go to really</span></div><div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">.</span></div><div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Like hair extensions,eyelash extensions are used to add length,thickness and fullness to our natural lashes</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">. It involves, carefully separating the natural lashes with a fine point tweezer to reveal one healthy eyelash. The eyelash extension is then dipped into medical grade adhesive and attached to the natural eyelash. The process is repeated until all eyelashes are covered. The extensions fall out when your natural lash falls out so how long they last depends on what stage of your lash cycle each lash is at. They last roughly 3 weeks but will then require touch ups etc to keep them looking great. Make sure the person who does them is fully trained in doing so</span></div><div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />

Well its actually pretty genius.</span></div><div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt;">First of all you find your liquid foundation shade (they are split into 3 sections Light, Medium and Dark and all are numbered) then (now this is the genius part), you select your pressed powder simply by finding the one with the same number as your liquid foundation. How cool is that? It takes most of the guess work out of choosing a powder to match your foundation and as long as you have selected the correct shade of foundation your pressed powder will match!</span></div><div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt;">But that’s not where it ends. Now comes the blush, each shade has matching blush colour options to compliment your skin tone. The same goes with concealer, you will have two options for light,2 for medium and 2 for dark.</span></div><div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt;"> They also have 3 bronzers available for light, medium and dark skin tones, so if you’re a medium you simply grab the bronzer for medium shades etc.</span></div><div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt;">It takes all the guesswork out of selecting your cosmetics! It links various items and shades together making it easier to find your perfect shades!</span></div><div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt;">Items in the Fit Me range use “skin merge technology”. Pretty much it’s a patented formula that aims to match your skin tone and blend quickly.</span></div><div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt;">Fit Me Foundation is medium coverage as it is designed to be pretty natural looking while helping to achieve a flawless look.</span></div><div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;"><br />
