About me

I can admit to my absolute obsession of Makeup and Beauty... It is something that started at an early age with my nana putting on rouge and red lipstick.. Every since then, there has been no turning back. Im a sucker for everything new on the market, always interested in the latest anti-aging "miracle" and would hate to think how much money i have spent over the years. I always try to curtail my spending but honestly its tough and i cant.. So i will always be a makeup junkie through and through !!!

When I was asked to trial the GROW Thicker Fuller Daily Densifier it couldn’t come at a better time. Being 53 years young, my hair had definitely become thinner, my crown was more exposed and I was finding it tough to cover it. I was excited to see how GROW would go. Easy application by applying 4 full pipettes directly to the scalp and massage through. I did this everyday and have continued even up to filling in my results of the trial. My hair definitely feels thicker to the point I had actual hair growth around my temples and sides where it was quite thin and patchy. The liquid solution was not greasy and has a very pleasant smell but not overpowering. I also found the Densifier to work as a styling aid. Usually with clean hair it is limp and lacks volume. A little extra into the crown, massage and boom - volume ! I absolutely enjoyed trialling the Densifier and will be buying it again once I finish this bottle !

I have used QV for many years as a cleanser and when i was chosen to review their new Serum i was very excited to see how it performed. Firstly packaging was quite lux and easy to pump out what you needed to apply. I am always careful not to purchase skin care with fragrance and this certainly doesnt have a perfume. The serum absorbed immediately into the skin and was very lightweight. Packed with lots of antioxidant ingredients i felt my skin was moisturised as well as protected. The texture of my skin felt quite soft, and the skin definitely more plumper with hydration. It never felt greasy to touch and even at the end of the day, my skin still felt hydrated.

I saw the Maybelline Sky High Mascara on Instagram and thought I would try it. Priceline had it for half price so I definitely purchased it. Packaging is quite lux and reminds me of a high end mascara. I’m not usually a fan of a rubber wand but it’s fantastic. No clumping, no mess and one single application gave me long lashes with a lovely build up near the lash base creating a eyeliner tightline appearance. I didn’t flake nor smudge during day which included the gym and it washed off in the shower with a hot face washer with no eye makeup remover to use. I even got compliments as well !

I was lucky enough to be chosen to review the new L'Oreal Revitalift Filler Eye Serum. I have used a similar eye serum with an applicator almost the same but at least triple the price. Keen to see how this eye serum performed, i wasnt disappointed. Firstly the roller applicator is very refreshing on the eye area especially in the morning when the eye area tends to be quite puffy. Instantly there is a cooling refreshing feeling. The instructions are simple and its a only a small step in a skincare routine. I love anything to do with hyaluronic acid as it instantly plumps the skin up with a huge glass of water. I felt over the 3 weeks the texture around my eye area was smoother, the top eye lid felt less creper and my fine lines were definitely more softened. I have always suffered with dark circles around my eyes no matter how much sleep i get. I dont know if i saw a dramatic difference but after all these years, it doesnt really worry me when the product can deliver other wonderful benefits. I also felt the product was excellent as a eye primer before concealer and powder. Even during the day, i can touch the skin around my eye area and it still feels soft without any greasy residue. I will definitely purchase this product which i feel will last a while.

Just like the TRESemmé Colour Conditioner i received to trial, the matching Shampoo was just as good. Again ill mention you get a whole lot of product with just under 1L for not a lot of money. TRESemmé has been creating professional quality hair care products for years in which i have used and they believe that everyone should afford quality products to help achieve the look and style of your hair whilst protecting it. Packed with healthy ingredients such as Vitamin E, Argan Oil & Green Tea, your hair is thoroughly washed without leaving it dry due to the fact there is no parabens or any other nasty chemicals that may harm your hair. My foiled blonde hair was less dry feeling and knotty before i even applied the matching conditioner. It definitely felt more softer and more manageable.

I was lucky enough to be sent both the Shampoo and Conditioner in the new TRESemme Colour Revitalise Range. Can we first say how much product do you get ? Short of a litre, you definitely get value for money. This conditioner is free from parabens and harsh chemicals and instead has Vitamin E, Argan Oil & Green Tea. I have 50+ age foiled blonde hair which has always been quite unruly. After washing my hair with the matching shampoo i applied a generous pump of the conditioner into my hair. I always start application to mid to end of my hair which is roughly under my shoulders. I then apply what is left to the crown of my head. A quick massage, leave for a few minutes, then rinse. I then comb my hair and allow it to dry naturally. I found my hair had less frizz, less knots and didnt in any way upset my blonde hair. This conditioner definitely protected my hair by replenishing with moisture, protecting when i applied my hair straightener and left my hair colour looking vibrant as ever.

So again I was privileged to be asked to trial this wonderful cream from BH plus the Day Cream. After using the wonderful Day Cream, I was definitely keen to use the Night Cream On the first evening application, i washed my face and did not use any of my usual night time serums or eye creams. The texture was thicker then the day cream but still absorbed into my skin so beautifully. el like and quite light with just a slight fragrance which i am always careful with. I used enough to cover all of my face which wasn't a lot and it completely absorbed into my skin. I felt like my skin clearly drank up all these "goodies" immediately after applying to my skin. I am in my early 50's and i could feel not only hydration to my skin but a firming and tightening sensation especially around my eyes and my neck which as i get older, is starting to be a concern. I have been using the cream for over 2 months and i still have a lot in the jar. Even though it has quite a high price ticket of $140, i can honestly say it is worth it because i still have a least 2 more months or more to use. A "grocery" bought day cream can be expensive and you wont get the same ingredients nor longevity out of it. I wanted to give my true review on this wonderful night cream and i felt it didn't disappoint at all. With all the added serum benefits, i feel you could do away with other normal serums in your skincare routine and just use this as your night cream

I was privileged to be asked to trial this wonderful cream from BH. Firstly the packaging is quite classic for a luxurious brand yet still simple. On my first morning of trying, i washed my face and did not use my usual serum prior to this day cream. I use quite a lot of products so i was quite scared just using one for day and of course my usual SPF. The texture was gel like and quite light with just a slight fragrance which i am always careful with. I used enough to cover all of my face which wasn't a lot and it completely absorbed into my skin. I felt like my skin clearly drank up all these "goodies" immediately after applying to my skin. I am in my early 50's and i could feel not only hydration to my skin but a firming and tightening sensation especially around my eyes and my neck which as i get older, is starting to be a concern. I also like to use a Gua sha which is a massage tool after application. It really helps absorb into the skin and tighten my face. I have been using the cream for over 2 months and i still have a lot in the jar. Even though it has quite a high price ticket of $140, i can honestly say it is worth it because i still have a least 2 more months or more to use. A "grocery" bought day cream can be expensive and you wont get the same ingredients nor longevity out of it. I wanted to give my true review on this wonderful day cream and i felt i didn't disappoint at all. With all the added serum benefits, i feel you could do away with other normal serums in your skincare routine and just use this day cream which also has SPF 15, but if you are like me and love SPF, go ahead and use your normal one on the top.

I purchased the Boost Lab Multi-Peptide Anti-Aging Serum in the Rewards Room. I love using serums as part of my everyday skincare routine. When i first used it, (about 3 weeks ago) i was quite sceptical about it. I didn't quite like the smell, not that it was "perfumy" which i don't like but it smelt like alcohol ?? It absorbed immediately without leaving a oily residue on the skin. It claims its good for wrinkles, fine lines,a pollution shield and provides intense hydration. I will say after receiving a few comments from friends that your skin looks glowing and even, this serum is fantastic. I will definitely purchase this serum once i use it up and continue to incorporate it in my morning and evening skin care routine.

Firstly I was so grateful to receive the Estee Lauder ADVANCED NIGHT REPAIR EYE CONCENTRATE MATRIX for trial as its quite expensive and i have never wanted to spend that sort of money on a serum especially if it didnt work. I have suffered all my life with black circles around my eyes no matter how much sleep i have. I have also suffered with a very dehydrated eye area even though my skin is very hydrated and well looked after. First impressions, the bottle is very lux but what is quite intriguing is the metal applicator inside. As soon as you apply the serum to the eye area, it sinks into the skin immediately, fast absorbing without leaving any residue whatsoever. The skin feels smooth and soft to touch. The crepiness has literally "ironed out" Applying concealer no longer looks chalky and does not sink in fine lines. BUT can i say the scepticism I had towards this serum assisting my dark circles has also shocked me. Over the 3 weeks i have definitely noticed them fade to almost nothing. I have been using the serum both day and night around the whole entire eye area with no irritation to my eyes which can be very sensitive. I have also been using it on my nasolabial folds which have also softened. This serum has easily slipped into my existing skincare regime with no hassle. This serum has addressed my dark circles, puffiness, dehydration, fine lines and has made my eye area look brighter. Yes the price is a little steep but seriously it is a game changer and worth every penny. I feel the bottle will last a while so you will get value for money. Would i buy this serum ? Hell yess !!!!
