Australis - Nail Polish Review!

Australis Nail Color - Intense Colour with High Shine & Streak Free

I recently posted this picture on my Instagram, and received some lovely compliments on the color, so thought I would review the polish for you.  

Let me just put it out there and say it… I love Australis Products. I think they offer great quality, while staying affordable – which is something I think is fantastic.

I've had this polish for a while (It was actually a Christmas gift) However, I still really love the color. This is in the color 51059 Peek-a-boo, The purple is the perfect shade for the current gelato/pastel colors that are huge at the moment.

The polish applies so well, you really only need 2 coats and could get away with one if you were in a rush. I apply a top coat, but its purely to seal the color. It gives a lovely shine just by itself.

I was skeptical at first as it claims to be ‘streak free’ but somehow, in the drying process it just mixes together and gives you a nice professional looking finish. It is a perfect consistency also, which is something I look for in my nail polishes.

The brush is a fantastic size and really allows the polish to spread evenly. The packaging is just your average nail polish bottle, but lets be real here – you don’t really need a fancy bottle if the product is amazing.

I love this color – I am going to be so sad when it runs out, but I definitely look forward to trying more Australis Nail Polishes.

Thanks for reading!

Until Next Time,

Chanel Eau Douceur Cleansing Water Review

Chanel Eau Douceur - Costs Around $63

If you have watched my YouTube Channel you will see I am currently in love with the Chanel Eau Doucur Cleansing Water aka fancy Makeup Remover. So much so, I have decided to do a review here on my blog rather than just mentioning it as part of a video.

I was initially skeptical about spending so much money on a makeup remover however, the ever so charming man at Chanel had me wrapped tightly around his little finger.

It comes in 150ml container which lasts a long time. However, for the the price, and brand expectation the packing is a smidgen cheap looking (This could just be me bring pretentious)

The pump is a good size and the actual product smells lovely. It wipes on easily and simply absorbs into the skin while your makeup comes off.

There are times I have to wear makeup that is extremely heavy and this really gets this off with out making too much of a mess, both on my skin and on the makeup pad. I use 2 round makeup pads, one for my face and neck and one for my eyes. On days I don't have much makeup on at all I just use the one pad. It actually amazed me how far the product spreads.

It leaves my skin feeling moisturized and fresh which I love. I find some makeup removers dry out your skin and leave a tingly feeling but this is the total opposite of that. It hydrates and really cleans your face as well as removing any makeup you may be wearing.

I love this product, I will definately re-purchase this. Even though it is expensive, I definately think its a fantastic investment for your skincare routine.

What are some makeup removers you like?

Also, to say thanks for reading, I am putting together a giveaway for my 20th post, so stay tuned!

Innoxia Lipstick Review

Innoxia - Waterlily

I was recently going through my makeup collection and I cam across this lipstick. I vaguely remember getting it as part of a priceline offer late last year. (Remember that offer… Spend a certain amount and win a bag of goodies in a snake print bag?)

I am rambling and the moral of the story is, I have found it once again and I’m not going to lie, I think its love.

I have never tried the brand Innoxia before but the quality is really good. The pigmentation of this lipstick is fantastic, and it is extremely moisturizing.

This color changes depending on the light!

I have the color Waterlily which as a color is hard to describe as it has so many undertones t I guess you could say it’s an apricot (ish) color with pink, brown and a hint of gold undertones.

The thing that impresses me most about this lipstick is the staying power. It stays for at least 4 hours which for me is a big deal as lipsticks don’t usually last for me.

I cannot speak highly enough of this lipstick! The color is great, the packing is great and the staying power is AMAZING! I will definitely be heading to priceline this weekend to find some more products.

Until Next Time

Tight-Ass Tuesday - Australis Lip Butter

For this installment of Tight-ass Tuesday, I thought I would talk about a lip product. Lips are one of the first things i notice on a person, so I always try and make sure my lips are looking good.

Australia Lip Butter - Ringa Rosey

I recently found this lip butter from Australis. As they are celebrating 25years, Priceline has a 25% off sale on the entire Australia range.

As a result of the sale, it cost around $3 but when not on sale it retails for about $5 so its still well within the Tight Ass Tuesday guidelines.

I got the color Ringa Rosy which is a nice subtle pink. It is not super pigmented, however it's extremely moisturizing which is something I look for in a lip butter. I also hate when you use your finger to apply a gloss and it's so pigmented you are left with a messy finger so this product is ideal for me.

I absolutely adore the packing, I think it's so cute. There is a small display mirror on the inside of the lid, which I love also. I think the concept of the ball like container is fun and it's easy to open and get the product.

I love this product, I will definitely be popping along to Priceline soon to check out some different colors.

Has anyone tried any of the other colors that they recommend?

Until Next Time
