Review: Lush Angels on Bare Skin

I’m undecided about Lush. On one hand, you can follow a trail of lovely scent through your shopping centre to the store. On the other hand, walking in is like being clobbered over the head with a bucket of stenchy random perfumes. Their products are fresh and natural… but they’re also breeding grounds for bacteria and tend to go off. …

Review: Tweezerman Slant Tweezers

I’ve always been sceptical of the advantages a $20 pair of tweezers could offer over a cheap $5 supermarket pair. I don’t know if supermarket tweezers are the same all over the world, but the tweezers from Woolworths are pretty good here! Well, it turns out that the main pro of a fresh pair of Tweezermans is that, if you …

Review: Kosmea Replenishing Moisture Cream

So blackheads, greasiness, and flaky bits… the worst of both worlds! It took me a while, but I found …

Review: Laneige Strawberry Yoghurt Peeling Gel

I don’t know why it’s taken so long for me to review this, since it’s on high rotation in my facial cleanser carousel (I have 9 different face cleansers in my shower at the moment, and uses whatever my skin feels like that day… yeah, I probably have a problem). As you can see from the worn-off label, I’m a …

Review: Kosmea Daily Exfoliant

I know I promised warpaint, but I’ve been a bit sick so my nose is gross and red at the moment so I didn’t want to subject anyone to that level of ew. So skincare review it is… I’ve reviewed Kosmea Rose Hip Oil here before. As well as the pure liquid gold, Kosmea also have a range of skincare …

Review: Kosmea Rose Hip Oil

Kosmea is an Australian skincare brand that’s still owned and run by an Australian family. I don’t know the whole story of how rose hip oil got so popular, but Kosmea Rose Hip Oil is the only one that claims to be the original rose hip oil, so I’d take their word for it 😉 Unlike most other rose hip …
