SWATCH&REVIEW: Burt’s Bees Tinted Lip Balm in Tiger Lily
Burt’s Bees Tinted Lip Balm in Tiger Lily is a sheer warm orange lip balm that leaves a soft, buttery glaze of colour on the lips. A blend of beeswax, shea butter and coconut oil give moisture and shine without feeling either too waxy or too oily. Fine line: balanced. Sheer is the name of ...

REVIEW: Nivea Visage Daily Essentials Fragrance Free Facial Cleansing Wipes
Sometimes the cheap thrills are the best thrills. I use a lot of cleansing wipes, and that’s being somewhat understated. I carry a few packets in my make-up kit at all times (I love my Bioderma Micellar Solution, don’t get me wrong, but sometimes you just need something big and burly to get everything off) ...

Yves Saint Laurent Forever Youth Liberator Nutri Creme
A few months behind the rest of the world, but the latest skincare launch from Yves Saint Laurent is ready to hit Australian stores from Sunday 6th May. Forever Youth Liberator, an eight piece collection of anti-aging skincare, focuses on glycans, aka naturally occurring sugars in the skin that maintain skin elasticity. I’ve been using Nutri Creme, a ...

MBFW Survival Pack: Aesop Tuberose Lip Heal & Rosehip Seed Lip Cream
I could make a series of stupid jokes about air kissing causing irreparable lip damage, but that’s cheap and easy and besides, I’m 99% certain that Twitter has driven that joke into the ground already. Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in Australia has the gracious timing to occur right on the change of season that leaves Sydney in a ...

MBFW AU Survival Pack: Aesop B Triple C Facial Balancing Gel, Trilogy Certified Organic Rosehip Oil
The last show started late and went overtime, you didn’t get to bed until late, and the first show starts at 9AM in some far-flung outreach of the Sydney fashion triangle. You slept badly. You feel like hell. You know it (and I know it, but I’m too polite to say something). Did I say ...

MBFW AU Survival Pack – Bioderma Crealine H20
Take off your make-up. No excuses. Words cannot describe how thrilled I am that Bioderma is (finally!) launching in Australia. I’ve been a devoted user of their Créaline H2O Micellar Solution ever since a fellow make-up artist was using it during prep for a show for what was then RAWF 2006. Our models had come straight ...

Biotherm Aquasource Nuit
So here’s the deal. Most of us know we should use a night cream, and if you didn’t know that then here’s the skinny: our skin spends eight-ish hours of pillow time dealing with the fallout of a day spent in the sun and city. Pollution, city grime, make up, sunscreen… it’s a lot of ...

Maybelline New York – Baby Lips SPF20 lip balm
Ok, ok, so I know I’m a little late with this tube of Maybelline Baby Lips SPF20 lip balm. In my defence when I swung by my local Priceline last week they had nothing but this NYFW-liveried limited edition version of Baby Lips and none of the usual tubes available. I’m sorry! From what I ...

Five cleansers under $35, #5: Mario Badescu Enzyme Cleansing Gel
Five under $35 is a series of posts about related products that are $35 and under. This week I’m trialling five facial cleansers that are perfect for skincare newbies or those looking to cut the clutter and simplify their skincare regime. This is cheating a little, I know. I’ve talked about Mario Badescu’s Enzyme Cleansing ...
