RIMMELL LASTING FINISH LIPSTICK

Shade: 14

I recently got my hair cut short, very rocker-esque, so I've been wearing dark colours on my eyes. This lipstick is the perfect lip shade to counterbalance the dark liner and shadow, to keep the look clean and not too overdone. I hate going out w with nothing on my lips, so this is the perfect solution! True to its name, this product is quite long-lasting, and stays on quite well while eating and drinking. I hadn't used any Rimmell lip products before this one, so it was a great first impression. Something great about this shade is that it can easily take you from day to night, and from casual to formal. It dries quickly, so gloss can easily be applied over the top without any smudging problems.

MAC 187 STIPPLING BRUSH

MAC 187 Duo-fiber Stippling Brush


I got sent this brush! Thank you, MAC! This is the first MAC product I've ever had, and I really, really like it. I've heard heaps of great things, obviously, but now I've tried it for myself, I can definitely say that this brush is lovely. It picks up not too much foundation, and I got a really even coverage. The brush is really soft too, which is lovely! All around, a great tool.

SPEED STICK DEODERANT

Lady Speed Stick Invisible
'Cool and Fresh'


This was sent to me a few days ago. There's not much to say on a deodorant, but I have enjoyed using this for the last few days. It does actually last the 24 hours, it doesn't leave white marks, and it smells nice. I like the stick-style, as it comes out dry. Great product.

VEET HAIR REMOVAL CREAM

Veet Supreme Essence Hair Removal Cream Pump Pack


I was sent this product a week ago, and I've used it twice since, and I've found it really great. It doesn't dry out the skin, as many hair removal creams do, and it takes a maximum of five minutes to work, which is great. It didn't leave me with itchy skin or rashes. This is the best product I've used in this department.

MAYBELLINE DUO EYESHADOW

Maybelline Two-Toned Eye Shadow

These were brought back for me from New York, New York, and I've been using them for about a year. The Chic Naturals 70D (pictured bottom) is great for an everyday look, it's very natural, and defines the eyes. I love these duos, because you can either use them for a classic or a smokey eye. The Modern Metallics 90D (pictured top) is great at night time, but because of the sparkle, it needs to be used with a primer or base underneath. It's not as wearable, but still very nice. The gold compliments the olive beautifully. Love these products.

MD GO CURLY

Marc Daniels Go Curly for Hair

I received this product a week ago, and I've been using it every day. I really like it, it goes on better when my hair's wet, but can still be used on dry hair. It does activate the curls, but leaves the hair natural-looking, not crunchy or styled at all. I love this product, and I plan to continue using it. It's too soon to say for sure, but, although it doesn't seem to moisturise the hair, it appears not to cause damage or oiliness either.

BIO OIL

Bio-Oil

There's been lots of noise surrounding this product for some time now, and I only fairly recently started using it for uneven skin tone, and it's brilliant. The instructions state it's supposed to be used for around three months, so it does take time, and it's not cheap, but it definitely works, and everyone I've spoken to has said the same, for stretch marks and dry skin alike. I've loved Bio-Oil since I began using it, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone.
