About me

I’m a 30-year-old mother to one currently on maternity leave. I’ve been a member of BH for 10 years hence the name “Girl” as I was a fair bit younger back then haha! I’m not a makeup expert by any stretch, but I’ve definitely improved my knowledge over the years, thanks in part to this supportive community.

This product is what I use most nights, interchanged with the wipes of the same brand. I squirt a little on a makeup remover pad and wipe all over, and then I need to follow up with a second pad due to how much makeup this amazing product removes. I love that it’s rinse-free, however I always shower after using this so follow up with water and a facewasher which always seems to remove a little more makeup. I do find that my mascara rarely all comes off, but that could be on account of me rushing the process and not giving it the extra time to ensure it’s all gone. I’m still working my way through the first bottle of this and have found it to go a reeeeally long way which is excellent for the penny-pincher in me. As a sensitive-skinned gal, I find this product to be soothing and it doesn’t irritate at all. All around, it’s a winner! I’d have given it five stars if it consistently removed all makeup including eye product.

I love the convenience of these wipes! It makes my nighttime routine super fast when I can just whip out a wipe and quickly clean my face of the day’s well-worn makeup. I have sensitive skin and these don’t irritate at all, and in fact I find them soothing. It’s handy to know you don’t need to wash the residue off, however I shower at night so always follow up with water. I don’t use a waterproof mascara (and very rarely wear eye liner) and I find this does a very good (but not excellent) job of removing the black mascara. There’s always a little remaining. My only other issue is the cost... when purchasing at the standard RRP, these end up being quite expensive. I always buy them on sale.

My baby started getting pretty bad eczema around 5 months old and we were recommended to follow the Royal Children's Hospital eczema care guide. This guide recommends daily baths with bath oil amongst other things. I went out and bought this and have been using it daily since and my baby's skin is much less dry. You pour a capful into the bath (I use a baby bath so use less than a capful) and as it spreads through the water it goes milky. It really is gentle on the skin.

I’m probs to dry lips and have been my whole life. I’m not a lipstick wearer and usually opt for a lip balm for every day use. Since coming across this gem of a product around a year ago, I’ve been hooked! I wear this on its own and it does an amazing job of smoothing out my lips and it has excellent staying power. Some other similar products can be disappointing as they seem to disappear within minutes of application. This one lasts a lot longer. It has a really lovely shimmering look which makes it look like a subtle lip gloss has been applied.

I first smelt this perfume on a girl’s trip to Sydney a couple of years back when i’d Forgotten to pack my own perfume. One of my friends had recently bought this one and she’d packed it for the trip. I wore it for those couple of days and found it intoxicating. I couldn’t stop sniffing my wrists!
Upon returning home, I went out and bought a 90ml bottle which is just now coming to an end. I get sooo many compliments on this one - friends and strangers alike. And my hubby who hasn’t got a great sense of smell will quite often tell me I smell great when i’m wearing this one.
Three of my friends now have this in their collection - we love it!

This is my favourite mascara. This is a big call because I would have easily tried more than 10 types over the years. I have this one in black. I love that it doesn't have a really strong fragrance like a lot of mascaras do. It doesn't clump, and it adds volume and length. I find a lot of mascaras are one or the other, but Clinique high impact has the best of both worlds. I have sensitive skin, and the area around my eyes can be particularly sensitive. This product doesn't cause me any irritation whatsoever, it's great! Great staying power, doesn't smudge easily, this is a great all-round mascara! Well done Clinique!

I have been using this for several years on upper lip hair in between waxes. This is great to lighten a few hairs and make them near-invisible, however I wouldn't recommend using it again and again on darker hair as it leaves the hair coarse and dry and very visible. It does smell and sting a little, but you'd be hard-pressed to find a bleach that didn't do that. I would advise avoiding dry patches of skin as some of the bleach seems to seep into the skin or something, leaving white dots (which goes away soon after, but can't be good).

Green Tea is such a classic fragrance and I love Elizabeth Arden's take on it. This product is an absolute steal and is a refreshing scent that should be a part of everyone's collection. I don't wear mine all that often but find that when I do I love to catch a whiff throughout the day. It's very uplifting and has great staying power. It's definitely a scent for the warmer weather.

I would give this 8 out of 5 if I could - this product is absolutely fantastic! It has so many applications that for such a small price it really is worth it. My number one use for this is to set my mineral makeup/bronzer. It leaves my skin with a dewy glow and I have had people comment on the change. I love that it comes in a can and not a spray bottle so that you can choose how little or how much to spray on. I have sensitive skin and have used other face mists in the past that sting my eyes, but this one does nothing but soothe as it's so natural. I love spraying this before bed to leave my skin feeling smooth, on my eczema for the calming effect it provides, and after a gym session or a hot day to cool me down. This is a truly wonderful buy that I feel would benefit anyone, particularly those that use mineral makeup or have sensitive skin.

I have used this in both blackest black and the blue shade. The black one was 'blah' and nothing special, but I love love love the blue shade. It's a real pick-me-up when I want something different. I have naturally dark (but short) lashes and dark eyes, but I really love the blue. It coats the lashes but doesn't make them any thicker or longer. It didn't clump, which is really important in a mascara. I have sensitive eyes too and I found this didn't irritate them at all.
