<b><br /></b>
<b>Dermavive</b> is a brand that has been rockin' my socks lately, if you couldn't tell from my latest blog posts. I have been testing out their Hydra Cleanser for the past month or so and had to share my thoughts!<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
Dermavive is an incredible <b>Aussie</b> brand that I can't stop shouting about for their affordability and formulations that are simple but <b>effective, and non irritating.</b> Their products all contain colloidal oatmeal; an ingredient known for its incredible skin soothing and calming benefits.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.uaspharma.com/shop/dermavive/hydra-cleanser-120ml-tube/"><b>Dermavive Hydra Cleanser</b></a> has been a welcome addition to my skincare routine and I am loving the results I am experiencing from it. I find that the type of cleanser I use really makes a difference in how my skin acts, which is really no surprise.<br />
Cleansing is undoubtedly one of, if not the most, important skincare step. In fact, the wrong cleanser can have a detrimental effect on your skin, by causing barrier dysfunction, breakouts and dryness. The right cleanser should remove daily dirt, makeup and grime from your skin, without stripping your skin of its moisture and drying it out, or leaving excessive residue.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjsSc6Nb7SwZIJYuB3uBipvWWZnAuREXS46UhBuxGH68wbYCGGuzFWCr_gDgRbb647VItnyIAEM0iENTxoDRV6JpBiSSYPZZlviwijbKRJ9Z44JDZWpfYZ5UD3L-zT_Ay9Af-NnjYOfd87/s1600/IMG_3250.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjsSc6Nb7SwZIJYuB3uBipvWWZnAuREXS46UhBuxGH68wbYCGGuzFWCr_gDgRbb647VItnyIAEM0iENTxoDRV6JpBiSSYPZZlviwijbKRJ9Z44JDZWpfYZ5UD3L-zT_Ay9Af-NnjYOfd87/s1600/IMG_3250.JPG" /></a></div>
<br />
Hydra Cleanser is the ideal cleanser for all skin types. It is a soap free, pH balanced formula that ensures it is suitable for even the most sensitive skin (like mine!), and will not disrupt the delicate acid mantle of the skin. It has anti-bacterial properties and helps unclog pores and clear impurities from the skin, making it perfect for those that suffer from breakouts. And, unlike most cleansers designed for acne, it does not dry your skin out!<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.uaspharma.com/shop/dermavive/hydra-cleanser-120ml-tube/">Dermavive Hydra Cleanser</a> contains Colloidal Oatmeal to protect the stripping of essential oils and hydrate skin. It also contains Sodium PCA and emollients, which add moisturising properties to soften and soothe the skin. It is free from SLS, Soap, Fragrance, Parabens and Lanolin.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I am a big fan of super gentle cleansers to treat my skin. I find that the Hydra Cleanser is a perfect match for my skin as it is ultra calming and non-drying, but still seems to tackle my acne! It is rare to find something that is gentle enough for my dermatitis skin, that still is effective at removing my light makeup and grime. I apply this cleanser morning and night to a wet face, massage in, the remove with water. The slightly bubbly formula is fragrance free, which I appreciate as I have fragrance sensitivities.<br />
<br />
If you have sensitive skin, or are looking for a gentle cleanser (which you should be!), I can't recommend Dermavive Hydra Cleanser more! It is super affordable, and effective.<br />

If you have super sensitive skin that is prone to eczema and dermatitis like I do, you know the struggle of finding products for your skin that don't further irritate it, and actually help improve the condition. I have been using <a href="https://www.uaspharma.com/shop/dermavive/dry-skin-creme-100g-tube/"><b>Dermavive's Dry Skin Creme</b></a> to tackle the skin issues I have been struggling with, and I am so impressed that I have to share my thoughts with you!<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
Dermavive is an amazing Australian brand that creates products based around the hero ingredient <b>colloidal oatmeal</b>, which has benefits for dry, itchy and inflamed skin conditions.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.uaspharma.com/shop/dermavive/dry-skin-creme-100g-tube/">Dermavive's Dry Skin Creme</a> is the perfect all-rounder product for those suffering with dry, delicate and irritated skin. It is so gentle it can be used on skin of all ages, from infants to older people.<br />
<br />
This Dry Skin Creme is <b>pH balanced (making it gentler and preserving the delicate skin barrier), and combines the moisturising properties of colloidal oatmeal, sodium PCA and Vitamin E, as well as Jojoba Oil, which moisturises and penetrates the skin deeply. It is also free from fragrance, parabens and lanolin.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOFm75g1AzDncTklcbdPbzX783egFizZmbZpw9-H5S4lFB1YbMNJPbbCICO0fhhGASnq2qumPFGcCY_JyY8DAQeY0ltdEO3A7pryKXI2zrbnrnv3gdmptuMnwyLDRMeIGVsdYfKQqfrCSJ/s1600/IMG_2910.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOFm75g1AzDncTklcbdPbzX783egFizZmbZpw9-H5S4lFB1YbMNJPbbCICO0fhhGASnq2qumPFGcCY_JyY8DAQeY0ltdEO3A7pryKXI2zrbnrnv3gdmptuMnwyLDRMeIGVsdYfKQqfrCSJ/s1600/IMG_2910.JPG" /></a></div>
<b><br /></b>
<br />
If you suffer from skin issues like dermatitis, eczema, and severe dry skin, it is likely that you also have a <b>broken skin barrier</b>. Dermavive's Dry Skin Creme contains colloidal oatmeal which forms a adherent barrier on top of your skin to help protect it from harmful substances, reduce redness and encourage healing.<br />
<br />
As someone that has used steroids in the past to control my skin, I can't tell you how great it is that there is a non-invasive solution in the form of this creme, to help improve my skin. Since I have been using this creme, I have noticed a great improvement in the dermatitis I get around my eyes and on my eyelids. I have also been using it on my body as I suffer from extreme dry skin which causes symptoms of tightness, flaking and itching, and I find it greatly diminishes my dryness and leaves my skin looking and feeling healthier. This creme is deeply moisturising, but not greasy, and feels lovely on the skin.<br />
<br />

<br />
I highly recommend Dermavive's Dry Skin Creme, and all of their products I have tried in general. I will actually be picking up another tube of this creme as I adore it! I love the generous sized tube and the <b>affordability (under $15!</b>) means that it will always be in my budget.<br />

<br />
As someone that struggles with super dry, dehydrated skin that is prone to acne, I struggle to find a moisturiser that suits my skin. So when I do, I want to shout my praises from a rooftop. So in a roof top equivalent (a blog post!), I wanted to share my thoughts on the moisturiser from <b>Neutriderm</b> that is getting lots of love at Wellness by Kels headquarters.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
I have been testing out the Vitamin E Moisturising Lotion from <a href="https://www.uaspharma.com/shop/neutriderm/moisturising-lotion-125ml-tube/">Neutriderm</a> for over a month now, and I am beyond loving it. Neutriderm is an <b>Australian brand</b> that creates premium aesthetic and therapeutic products that are designed for skin and hair ailments such as dandruff, alopecia and hyperpigmentation. Their products are <b>extremely affordable</b>, which makes the brand even more attractive to me!<br />
<br />
<div>
The <a href="https://www.uaspharma.com/shop/neutriderm/moisturising-lotion-125ml-tube/"><b>Neutriderm Moisturising Lotion</b></a> is a great all rounder moisturiser. It is gentle, packed with antioxidants like vitamin E and designed to provide long lasting hydration, reduce the appearance of redness, and skin inflammation. It is a winner for anyone suffering from sensitive or dry skin.<br />
<br />
The Vitamin E that Neutriderm use in this moisturiser is different to most other brands. As stated by Neutriderm: '<i><b>Neutriderm Moisturising Lotion comes with a special Vitamin E which is known for its unique properties. As a result of its hydrosoluble (water soluble) nature, Vitamin E phosphate has been identified as a naturally occurring substance in the human body as well as in plants. Vitamin E Phosphate is proven to have bio-functional activity as an anti-inflammatory as well as an anti-oxidant. When Vitamin E phosphate is effectively applied to the skin it directly delivers its bio functional activities to the skin.'</b></i><br />
<i><b><br /></b></i>
<br />

<i><b><br /></b></i></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I have been using this lotion mainly as a face moisturiser, but its gentle ingredients and affordable price make it a great option for the body too. It is marketed as being effective for preventing stretch marks, as well as helping to reduce them (it's always easier to prevent than reduce!), so I will definitely be trying that out next!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
As for being suitable for acne prone skin, I am extremely acne prone, and I haven't experienced any pore clogging. In fact, this lotion is designed to reduce the redness of acne spots and scars!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I have been using this morning and night, and find it super moisturising for my dry skin. It leaves my skin looking smooth and glowy, and is the perfect base for makeup. It also calms any redness (I have mild rosacea), and seems to be making my skin look healthier day by day! I highly recommend this moisturiser!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
I am always up for trying new ways to cleanse my skin, so when a solid bar cleanser from <a href="http://dermavive.com.au/index.html"><b>Dermavive</b></a> came across my desk, I was super excited to try it! Dermavive is an Australian brand that creates products that are easy to use, and effective while being gentle on the skin. Their products hero colloidal oatmeal; an amazing skin soother, and are pH balanced.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
The <a href="https://www.uaspharma.com/shop/dermavive/acne-sensitive-skin-cleansing-120g-bar/"><b>Acne and Sensitive Skin Cleansing Bar</b></a> is a solid soap free bar that is designed for cleansing the skin without irritating or stripping the skin barrier. It is gentle, pH balanced and contains ingredients such as Oatmeal to calm inflammation and itching. For those with dry skin, rest assured as this cleanser contains Sodium PCA to hydrate, and vitamin E to provide an antioxidant boost!<br />
<br />
At first, I was unsure that a solid bar cleanser could be gentle on my skin. I mean, all of the information I have seen online recommends stepping away from the soap bars lest you dry all the moisture out of your skin. However, this isn't your regular bar of soap; it actually doesn't contain any soap! What it is is basically a gentle face cleanser in a solid format (how travel friendly!)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
What I love most about this bar is that it isn't just a gentle cleanser, it also<b> fights acne</b>! It prevents mild to moderate acne from forming through ingredients such as saponins, which prevent pore clogging, and salicylic acid, which effectively clears skin through its keratolytic action.<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7lGiHQDfSCHNi-UBTxIHOciR5GJZaBwm__Tpn2GgDG660Di8tbmSnpCugy_AWeyirRfglAjdcfzbEVbYH3SIw5TKoHNUp-9KPGN09Cw-ImrSjEtqXnh_f5qzN_wNGCRn0C868J-c8ExKK/s1600/IMG_1328.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7lGiHQDfSCHNi-UBTxIHOciR5GJZaBwm__Tpn2GgDG660Di8tbmSnpCugy_AWeyirRfglAjdcfzbEVbYH3SIw5TKoHNUp-9KPGN09Cw-ImrSjEtqXnh_f5qzN_wNGCRn0C868J-c8ExKK/s1600/IMG_1328.JPG" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I have been using this product of a night time (it can be used in the morning also!), applying directly to wet skin, massaging in, and then rinsing clean. I love how soft and clean my skin feels afterwards, without being stripped of its moisture. I have also seen a decrease in acne, which I am ecstatic about! It takes some getting used to, using a solid bar instead of a traditional liquid cleanser, but I am quite enjoying the change. As well as using it on your face, I recommend using it on your body in areas prone to acne as well (I have noticed a great difference on my back!)<br />
<br />
Dermavive's Acne and Sensitive Skin Cleansing Bar is not only an effective product, it is also an extremely affordable one!<br />

I am terrible at doing monthly favourite blog posts, but I finally got my act together (well for this month at least), and I present to you: the products I have been loving all of August (and some for longer!) Enjoy!<br />

<b>Body Blendz Coffee and White Clay Exfoliating Capsules</b><br />
<a href="https://www.chemistwarehouse.com.au/buy/87631/body-blendz-coffee-exfoliating-facial-capsules-8x10ml">These single use pods</a> are super fun and contain the perfect amount for both you and a bestie, or do as I do and apply to your face in the shower, using the excess on your body. This two in one scrub and mask product contains White Australian Clay, Betaine, Shea Butter, Pumice, Coffee Butter and Jojoba Oil to naturally and gently cleanse and exfoliate your skin without removing the lipid layer on your face. It leaves my skin hydrated and super smooth, and it smells super delish!<br />

<b>The Body Shop Strawberry Body Yogurt</b><br />
The Body Shop can do no wrong when it comes to moisturisers and body washes. <a href="https://www.thebodyshop.com/en-au/body-care/body-yogurts/c/c14092">This recent launch</a> has become a love of mine this winter. I am not a fan of heavy creams anymore, and I love how this body moisturiser comes in a lightweight gel formula while still providing superb moisturisation. And even better, it comes in quite a few of their signature scents, including my fave Strawberry one!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQ8QF2A0UM3Y6XfnAFrnOX8c0AuctEg_AqQ0WLXYIIVbrZK8oqJgUlQYJLcXSPUNJ4KZG6W4exWaHkVyRwn5fS6OmVDNlQbIx2GbqFBED6d7fv0Oj5N3phgOThAG_6KlbXqLPbmE__9-tX/s1600/IMG_0924.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQ8QF2A0UM3Y6XfnAFrnOX8c0AuctEg_AqQ0WLXYIIVbrZK8oqJgUlQYJLcXSPUNJ4KZG6W4exWaHkVyRwn5fS6OmVDNlQbIx2GbqFBED6d7fv0Oj5N3phgOThAG_6KlbXqLPbmE__9-tX/s1600/IMG_0924.JPG" /></a></div>
<br />
<b>Lipsticks</b><br />
I have been all about a moisturising pout lately. Call me wrong, but I think that there is nothing more sexy than a glossy or juicy pout, especially after the recent trend of matte liquid lips. I have been particularly enjoying <a href="http://www.antipodesnature.com/products">Antipodes Natural Lipsticks</a> in Queenstown Hot Chocolate, and Boom Rock Bronze. These babies are packed with plant oils to leave your lips feeling nourished, while delivering a generous pop of colour. I have also been loving <a href="https://youngbloodmineralcosmetics.com.au/shop/lips/sheer-lip-crayon/">Youngblood's Sheer Color Crays Lip Crayons</a>. These are super handy to pop in your handbag for when you need a beautiful and easy to wear everyday shade.<br />

<br />
<b>Youngblood Illuminator with Diamond Powder</b><br />
Anything highlighter related, and I am hooked. Especially liquid and cream formulas. Highlight is the one product that can really help give your skin a beautiful, healthy, glossy look. One highlighter I have been loving lately is this <a href="https://youngbloodmineralcosmetics.com.au/shop/face/illuminator/">highlighter from Youngblood</a> which gives skin such a dewy, moist, shiny glow that I am obsessed with. Plus, it's packed with natural, nourishing ingredients.<br />
<br />
<b>Milk & Co Body Oil</b><br />
For some reason, I took a break from using body oils, but recently I reignited my love for them and can't get enough of them! <a href="http://www.milkandco.com.au/bodyoil">This beauty from Milk and Co</a> is packed with goodies like papaya extract, lavender oil and soy oil and leaves my skin feeling nourished and pampered, while the lavender scent leaves me feeling relaxed. Plus, how aesthetic is that bottle? Obsessed.<br />

<br />
<b>Simple Skincare Water Boost Range</b><br />
I don't know about you, but this winter has seemed the longest I have experienced yet. And it's been brutal here in Tasmania. And my skin has taken a beating, from the central heating to the icy winds, to the hot showers, and craving anything remotely hydrating. <a href="https://www.priceline.com.au/brand/simple">Simple's new Water Boost Range</a> is such a great option for those looking for an affordable skincare range, with products ranging from $7.50-$13! I can't get enough.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDvIuOEhAW9QXUpM6voLbZfTXpQpBsOhFwtdgx3CRdyv5l98XZxPqvvhh3tEYXehURCWxctwmtQTreQ3eh4kBySQNFwKC0qRLego7dm9KFugnX9PwrVsVwQYWwCzN2BmRp2EJVEwpzYOPl/s1600/IMG_0919.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDvIuOEhAW9QXUpM6voLbZfTXpQpBsOhFwtdgx3CRdyv5l98XZxPqvvhh3tEYXehURCWxctwmtQTreQ3eh4kBySQNFwKC0qRLego7dm9KFugnX9PwrVsVwQYWwCzN2BmRp2EJVEwpzYOPl/s1600/IMG_0919.JPG" /></a></div>
<br />
<b>Antipodes Brightening Skincare</b><br />
On the topic of skincare, these two products from Antipodes get a big thumbs up from me. If you have dehydrated skin, you probably also suffer from dull, lifeless looking skin (and maybe even pigmentation like this gal here?!). I always try to supplement some kind of brightening product into my routine, and these products are my current loves. The <a href="http://www.antipodesnature.com/product/juliet-natural-skin-cleanser">Juliet Cleanser</a> is gentle but effective, removing light makeup, while the <a href="http://www.antipodesnature.com/product/apostle-organic-facial-serum">Apostle Serum</a> is a water based serum that absorbs quickly into the skin, and has already brightened the appearance of my skin. It's still early days, and I can't wait to see further results from these two. I also really need to try out more from the Antipodes skincare range.<br />
<br />

<b>Mirenesse Heated Lash Curler</b><br />
If you are a fan of lash curlers, you NEED to try a heated one. <a href="https://www.adorebeauty.com.au/mirenesse/mirenesse-icurl-twin-heated-gold-lash-curler.html?istCompanyId=6e5a22db-9648-4be9-b321-72cfbea93443&istItemId=-xwrqiqirrl&istBid=tztx&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIv8TP3JOD3QIVjwcqCh1uPANBEAQYASABEgJacPD_BwE">This easy to use heated curler </a>gives the benefits of a traditional one, but with longer lasting results. Paired with their mascara, prepare yourself for sky high lashes!<br />

<b><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.ellabache.com.au/collections/neobright/products/neobright-radiance-c-ampoules">NeoBright Radiance C Ampoule Set</a></span></b><br />
A pure highly concentrated fresh treatment serum delivering an immediate and<br />
progressively brighter and more radiant complexion. Ultra powerful antioxidants including<br />
Pure Active Vitamin C Concentrate and extracts of Tomato, Pomegranate, Liquorice and<br />
White Tea protect the skin from environmental aggressors and damaging free-radicals while<br />
also stimulating collagen production. This potent treatment serum is applied to cleansed<br />
skin for the duration of 2 weeks in the morning and evening, followed by NeoBright<br />
Correcting Serum and NeoBright Emulsion or NeoBright Correcting Cream.<br />
<br />
I have been trialling this range for the past five weeks and I have to say, I am super impressed. The serums and cream layer beautifully together, or with products from other brands. During the time I have been testing out these products I have noticed that my skin looks brighter, more radiant, and my skin tone is much more even. My skin looks healthy and hydrated! I have also noticed some fading of old acne scars and sun damage, which I am ecstatic about. I haven't experienced any irritation with my super sensitive skin, and I can't wait to continue to use them and see if I notice any further improvements.<br />
<br />
Have you tried anything from this range yet?<br />

<br />
As a big fan of Colourpop products, I couldn't resist snatching up the new <b>Colourpop No Filter Foundation</b> as soon as it launched on their website. I have been testing out this affordable foundation for the past week or so, and gathering my thoughts on it. Is it dry skin approved? Keep on reading.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<b>Colourpop claims: oil free, buildable full coverage foundation formulated with soft blurring pigments to give you a natural matte finish. No filter needed.</b><br />
<br />
The No Filter Foundation comes in a clear glass bottle, with a lockable pump, which makes it ideal for travel. It contains 25 ml, which is less than the usual standard foundation fluid amount (30ml), which I appreciate as I rarely finish a foundation before it expires (I have a large collection). The formula is cruelty free and vegan, and free from alcohol and fragrance. It retails for $12USD from Colourpop's website.<br />
<br />
I picked up shade <b>Fair 20</b>, which is described as cool with light pink undertones for fair skin tones, and it is the perfect shade match for my skin!<br />

<br />
This foundation has a thin, runny formula, but packs decent coverage, even with a makeup sponge, which is my preferred method of application. I find a sponge is the best way to apply this foundation, as it helps it blend much more naturally into the skin than a brush or fingers. I generally go in with two or three pumps of foundation, and find that gives me a solid <b>medium coverage</b> (you could get more coverage with brush application).<br />
<br />
As someone with extremely dry skin, I was worried about the claim of this foundation being matte. On its own, it is too drying a formula for my skin. Saying that, it doesn't feeling drying on my skin, it just looks it. It emphasises dry patches, and sinks into any fine lines. However, I have been adding a few drops of oil into it before I apply, and I have really been enjoying the way it looks on my skin (sound similar to my Shameless foundation review?)<br />
<br />
With the oil added into it, I find that the finish is beautiful on my skin. It gives a satin matte finish, and looks fairly flawless on my skin. It definitely isn't the longest lasting foundation, breaking down on my skin after around 5 hours, but for the price and how easily I can touch it up, I don't mind. I should also mention that I don't set my skin (dry skin issues), so it may last longer if you do.<br />
<br />

<br />
So overall, I quite enjoy this foundation. It looks nice on my skin, is affordable and has cute packaging. However, it isn't a favourite in my collection, and I would hesitate to recommend it to dry skinned folks unless they wanted to do some prep work.<br />
(I don't believe that you should need to alter a foundation in anyway to make it work for your skin, but I can't deny how pretty this makes my skin look with a little bit of (oil) help.)<br />
And as for those with oily skin, this may work better on your skin, however I'm concerned that its shorter staying power may be an issue for those with excessive oils breaking through.<br />
<br />
I hope this review helps you decide if the Colourpop Foundation would work for you!Wellnessbykelshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07521957178340217478noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4876308237147691405.post-80237591295382753482018-06-27T17:28:00.000+10:002018-06-27T17:28:53.087+10:00Products I have been loving lately (June 2018 ed.)<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The last few months I have been lucky enough to be sent some amazing PR packages containing products that I have just fallen in love with. I wanted to share some of my favourite products that I have thoroughly tested in the past three months and can't get enough of. Also, they are basically all available at the Drugstore/ Chemist! Enjoy.</div>

<a href="https://www.priceline.com.au/jergens-natural-glow-firming-daily-moisturiser-medium-to-tan-221-ml">Jergens Natural Glow Gradual Tan</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This is the first product I have tried from Jergens, and now I want to try more! I am a big fan of gradual tanners as they add a touch of sun kissed glow to my pale skin, without the commitment of a fake tan. This gradual tanner is a great one for adding natural colour; it builds evenly over the days, and fades evenly.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This scrub is a great product to use before applying fake tan to ensure all dead skin cells are removed and your skin is prepped. I also just like to use this as a body scrub even when I'm not going to apply fake tan. It contains granules you can feel to give a really good exfoliation. I really like the look of the packaging as well.</div>

I love that my all time fave fake tan product is so affordable! This is perfect for pale gals and guys that want a fake tan that won't leave them looking orange. This gives me the perfect, golden tan, that actually looks natural. I love that Le Tan have created tan with different undertones in mind! This gives me a dark tan that wears for about a week, and fades evenly. Can't get enough of this one!</div>

This is a great gentle cleansing water that removes light makeup with ease. I find some micellar waters dry out, or irritate my skin, but that isn't the case with this one! I have a lot of micellar waters to go through in my collection, but I would consider purchasing this one again in the future.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This is such a great moisturiser for dry and dehydrated skin, and provides a great base for makeup. It leaves my skin looking plump and hydrated, and with a slightly illuminated appearance that is really pretty. I will definitely buy this when I run out!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I had previously only tried makeup from Genie, so I was excited to have this skincare beauty in my paws! This face scrub works in three ways to give you beautiful skin; it includes pearl powder and bromelain to exfoliate, it contains a peptide complex that boosts collagen production, and provides a warming sensation to increase penetration of ingredients, with a cooling sensation as it is washed off. I love how smooth and clean my skin feels after using this. I also enjoy how this exfoliates without irritating my skin! I have just finished my tube, and need to pick up another!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Designed with wrinkles in mind, my eyes lit up when I saw the ingredients in this and immediately thought it would be great for my dry and dehydrated skin. Well, I wasn't wrong! With a formula that has sensitive skin in mind, and two types of Hyaluronic Acid, my skin feels plumped, hydrated and comfortable (I get super tight dry skin). Avene is one of the more expensive brands available at Priceline, but I highly recommend everything I have tried from them. They are honestly one of the best brands I have tried for sensitive and dry skin. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As soon as I saw that this had SPF30, I couldn't wait to get it on my face. This BB cream is heaven. It gives the lightest tint to the skin (very sheer), but I use it for its SPF protection and hydration properties. It leaves my skin looking dewy and healthy, and doesn't irritate it (it is fragrance free, alcohol free and suited to sensitive skin). Will definitely be repurchasing.</div>

These come as a pack of three for $29, which is on the expensive side, but boy, are they amazing! You look funny when wearing them, but so worth it.

So...? is a brand that i can recognise from back in my teenage years (they have been around forever!). Their new fragrance is a fruity floral scent with top notes of bergamot, mandarin and pear, middle notes of orange blossom, lilly of the valley, peony, and base notes of cashmere wood, musk, and sandalwood. It is a really feminine scent that lasts a long while on my skin. It is also available in a body fragrance and fragrance mist, and is really affordable, at $9.95.</div>

<b> Marc Jacobs</b> is a luxe makeup brand that has become increasingly popular amongst beauty bloggers over the years, so when they released the new <b>Shameless foundation</b>, there was a lot of hype. And as the reviews started rolling in, there were a lot of mixed opinions and quite a few negative experiences. I was desperate to try it and see how it would act on my skin, and gleefully received a PR package containing three shades.<br />
The new Marc Jacobs Shameless foundation is a product I have been testing over the past month or so, and collecting my full thoughts on to give you a comprehensive review. Keep reading to hear my thoughts.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyrhq1A0mQ3EjOjywjTy4J0vq93jA9PhiGphMgVUoJSRl8YaUsz-YPTtJGGcKd-YT_0hVMOHZMqKcM4DD5uxRpsf1oPdoq1tGXJlk4Q27Rl7htuW6wCTuoR_tc0O2sJ8bDxYqYoyqh4nKY/s1600/IMG_8844.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyrhq1A0mQ3EjOjywjTy4J0vq93jA9PhiGphMgVUoJSRl8YaUsz-YPTtJGGcKd-YT_0hVMOHZMqKcM4DD5uxRpsf1oPdoq1tGXJlk4Q27Rl7htuW6wCTuoR_tc0O2sJ8bDxYqYoyqh4nKY/s1600/IMG_8844.JPG" /></a></div>
<br />
Marc Jacobs claims that Shameless is '<i>an innovative, medium, buildable foundation with 24 hour wear, and first to market, flashback free SPF 25 for a youthful look. It is suitable for all skin types.</i><br />
<br />
I was super excited when Marc Jacobs released this foundation, because it seemed much more suited to my skin type than the Remarcable foundation currently in their permanent collection. I have super super dry skin, and hoped that this would give me the fresh, light coverage I desired.<br />
<br />
To apply, I squeeze a small amount out, apply to my face with a finger, and blend out with a makeup sponge. I find a <b>sponge is the best way to blend this foundation,</b> as brushes or fingers leave it looking streaky.<br />
<br />
I find the shade Fair R150 to be the perfect shade match for my super fair skin. The foundation has a liquidy serum consistency, and sets quickly so powdering isn't necessary (I rarely powder anyway).<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBTMZ_qlxhiLdpKIlbN6k1SBUfUlpmvIEASO0kmoBJ6EAiLQr97AGLlqJ7Km4hL6EMVQmbUhOfyrZz0YxBK9nqHEc2BkJiKqqtWA6Ac-PtqZXDjnOJuS41-JfWZkdwN6tFuYrbPwhXhOZ4/s1600/IMG_9737.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBTMZ_qlxhiLdpKIlbN6k1SBUfUlpmvIEASO0kmoBJ6EAiLQr97AGLlqJ7Km4hL6EMVQmbUhOfyrZz0YxBK9nqHEc2BkJiKqqtWA6Ac-PtqZXDjnOJuS41-JfWZkdwN6tFuYrbPwhXhOZ4/s1600/IMG_9737.JPG" /></a></div>
<br />
As for coverage, I find this gives a <b>light coverage (buildable to medium), and a satin matte finish.</b> I find it to emphasise any dry patches on my skin, and seem to sit on top of my skin initially. I can see you thinking, 'well that doesn't sound promising!'. However, I have found a way to get this foundation to look quite quite flawless on my skin. For this foundation (and any other other drying foundations I own), I mix in a couple of <b>drops of oil</b> to the foundation on the back of my hand, and then apply. It just helps the makeup melt into the skin and look much more flawless. I recommend trying this with your foundation if you have dry skin. I also spray my face with Fix + when I have applied my foundation and concealer, and I find it helps everything melt into the skin beautifully!<br />
<br />
I find this foundation to last a full day on me without caking up or disappearing. It feels lightweight on my skin and doesn't oxidise. It doesn't have a noticeable fragrance, which I love! It also has an actual expiry date printed on the back of the bottle, which I appreciate, as most foundations do not have this! The squeezy bottle makes this the perfect foundation to travel with, and I think it is super cute as well.<br />

So do I recommend this foundation for dry skin? To be honest, there are better foundations for dry skin. You can make this one work, but I know that some people do not like the idea of purchasing a high end foundation and having to complete extra steps to make it work on their skin. Which is totally understandable. I think this foundation is better suited to those with more oilier skin types.<br />
<br />
The Marc Jacobs Shameless foundation is a foundation that I reach for when I am wanting light, natural coverage, and don't mind the extra steps (adding oil and Fix +) it takes to make it look beautiful on my skin. I would repurchase it.<br />
<br />
So there you have it. Not a perfect foundation for me, but definitely not a bad one.<br />

I was recently lucky enough to be sent some products from <b>Illamasqua </b>and <b>Dermalogica</b> by <b>RY.com.au</b> to test out. Both Illamasqua and Dermalogica are brands that I have not really explored, so I was super excited to be testing out some new goodies.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
I have been testing out both the Sound Sleep Cocoon and The Calm Water Gel from Dermalogica.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<a href="https://www.ry.com.au/dermalogica-sound-sleep-cocoon-50ml/11687860.html"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Sound Sleep Cocoon</span></b></a><br />
<br />
This gel-cream formula is designed to target skin fatigue, add radiance, hydrate, and promote restful, deep sleep thanks to aromatherapy benefits.<br />
I applied this each night after cleansing, and followed with a thick moisturiser as I have super dry skin. If you have normal or oily skin, this cream would be enough to hydrate your skin. I find the lavender scent relaxing and I appreciate anything that will help improve the quality of my sleep. The texture of this is so nice, it isn't sticky or greasy, and absorbs quickly into the skin. I find this leaves my skin feeling more hydrated, and in the mornings it has such a healthy glow. I also love the packaging of this as it prevents contamination of the product (although you can't tell when you are going to run out!)<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.ry.com.au/dermalogica-ultracalming-calm-water-gel-50ml-au/11664050.html"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>The Calm Water Gel</b></span></a><br />
<br />
This gel has been a lifesaver for my parched skin now we are heading into Winter in Australia. It is super lightweight but hydrates my skin intensely. I used this of a morning underneath my moisturiser and SPF and found it helped prep my skin perfectly for makeup. It has helped the severe dehydration my skin has been experiencing lately, likely due to the glycerin and hyaluronic acid that this contains. For those with sensitive skin, I would recommend this over the Sound Sleep Cocoon as the higher amounts of lavender in the SSC may be irritating on skin.<br />
<br />
I also had the chance to try out my first product from Illamasqua; their Beyond Powder in the shade OMG.<br />
<br />

<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Beyond Powder in 'OMG'</span></b><br />
<br />
This baked highlighter is one of the most finely milled/ softest feeling formulas I have tried (and I have tried a lot of highlighter ;)) It is a warm champagne golden highlighter that almost shifts slightly pink champagne in the light. Totally wearable and so unique, even in a collection as large as mine!<br />
This is a highlighter that applies best with a dense highlighting brush, instead of a fan brush or fingers. The formula is totally buildable, letting you build from a subtle glow to a blinding shine.<br />
I love baked formula highlighters because they give a more natural, wet look to the skin than a traditional powder highlighter, and this highlighter is no exception. This highlighter is best suited to those with light/medium skin tones.<br />
Apply this to the areas you want to highlight, and watch yourself glow!<br />

I am someone that is passionate about keeping my hair looking healthy, so when a hair dryer promises to keep my hair hydrated, I listen up. <b>Philips DryCare MoistureProtect Hair Dryer</b> promises just that, and has been a recent obsession of mine.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
The DryCare MoistureProtect Hair Dryer comes in gorgeous sleek white and rose gold packaging, and is a pleasure to feature on any bathroom sink.<br />
<br />
The MoistureProtect Hair Dryer features a <b>MoistureProtect sensor</b> that uses infrared technology to constantly diagnose hair's moisture levels, and automatically adapts the temperature that will preserve natural hydration. Results show up to 85% moisture protection after five minutes of drying!<br />
<br />
The DryCare Prestige Hair Dryer also features <b>ThermoProtect </b>to ensure the optimum constant drying temperature.<br />
<br />
As well as caring for your hair during drying, this hair dryer has <b>six different speed and heat settings</b>, the must-have professional Cool Shot to set your style and ionic conditioning. With ionic conditioning, charged negative ions condition the hair and smooth down cuticles for intensified shine and glossiness. The result is hair that is beautifully smooth, shiny and frizz free.<br />

<br />
I have been using this to dry my hair after washing, when I don't have time to let my hair naturally air dry. I have noticed that my hair doesn't seem to be getting dry despite using a hair dryer much more than I have in the past. I definitely would recommend this and will keep using and loving mine!<br />
<br />
The Philips DryCare MoistureProtect Hair Dryer retails for $139 and is available from Myer, Harvey Norman, and David Jones.<br />

The<b> L'Oreal Pro Glow foundation</b> is a great example of how much later new makeup launches in Australia, compared to the US. Although the US have long been loving and raving over this foundation, and have since moved on to newer things, it has only recently launched 'Down Under'.<br />
After trialling for a few months now, I wanted to share my thoughts on this foundation, and how I find it for super dry skin.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
I should start by saying that I always prep my skin before applying foundation, whether that be applying primer or just a rich moisturiser. I find that foundation just naturally sits much better on super dry, flaky skin when it is properly hydrated. I also generally use a makeup sponge to apply my foundation, as I find it gives me a much more flawless finish than using a brush.<br />
<br />
The foundation comes in a plastic squeezy tube, and is easily dispersed as it is quite runny in consistency. I received the lightest shade; <b>201</b> in PR, and have since <b>repurchased</b> the same shade as it matches my pale skin so well.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmzWBDtT7VRWALvvz2cm08I-S3oUgkIXpzQZ10uhV5HzlkaN4WN9bp6qzPgxm_Rxu6SHUG47fc8Q29kIzcTMVskA5Ho8o3nHHqvIhuXr_s4QLGGaLRci9WYgA0jFeyZaSU1x1EvoRmikiy/s1600/IMG_7642.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmzWBDtT7VRWALvvz2cm08I-S3oUgkIXpzQZ10uhV5HzlkaN4WN9bp6qzPgxm_Rxu6SHUG47fc8Q29kIzcTMVskA5Ho8o3nHHqvIhuXr_s4QLGGaLRci9WYgA0jFeyZaSU1x1EvoRmikiy/s1600/IMG_7642.JPG" /></a></div>
<br />
I apply this foundation with my beauty sponge and love how lightweight it feels on the skin. Despite the thin texture, this foundation <b>can be built up to a medium coverage</b> if needed.<br />
<br />
The finish on my skin is fairly <b>flawless</b>, despite the dry flakiness that is my skin. Concealer is needed to fully cover blemishes, but that isn't a big deal as I don't go for full coverage foundations generally. This foundation gives a healthy sheen to my skin that isn't overly dewy. As a super dry gal, I reach for my dewier foundations on my driest days, and reserve this for my better skin days, as it isn't as hydrating as some of my other options. Saying that, it still looks and feels beautiful on my skin, and is one of the better foundations I have tried.<br />
<br />
This foundation has an alcohol scent, but I haven't found it to irritate my sensitive skin at all, and the scent dissipates quickly.<br />
<br />
I typically don't set my foundation with powder, and I found that this one held up well without setting, and didn't break up or go cakey throughout the day. In fact, this is one of those rare foundations that seems to look better as the day goes on!<br />
<br />
Overall, I think that it is a foundation worth checking out if you can find a good shade match. It is one of my faves and I have already repurchased. I also think that it would work well on all skin types, as it works on my skin, and I have heard some rave reviews from those with oily skin!<br />

<br />
Cold weather is <i>not </i>kind on skin. Even those that are typically oily or don't have skin issues can end up dealing with dryness, and those of us that are already dry can end up a flaky mess if we don't take extra special care of our skin. So today, I wanted to share some of my current <b>fave tips for dealing with the cooler weather</b> heading our way, and how to <b>minimise </b>the toll it takes on our skin!<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
One of the hardest things about dry, stressed skin from the weather, is getting makeup to apply and sit nicely. There is nothing worse than applying your favourite foundation only to find it sits in every fine line and draws attention to dry patches you didn't even know were there.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQEwzGZbvutEQUYdVij3ckTMQPAf8fOA69EjYd0Xf6bF-U6UvS9omXIGKzhZAdoh8MdkCKPiWQ32ZGIQV8Gx4FTfCSrOeIXNNjLpcevtE4oEbmmZibKlm6MchFtC5pH6Q-xhPsVs1cmL3D/s1600/IMG_7750.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQEwzGZbvutEQUYdVij3ckTMQPAf8fOA69EjYd0Xf6bF-U6UvS9omXIGKzhZAdoh8MdkCKPiWQ32ZGIQV8Gx4FTfCSrOeIXNNjLpcevtE4oEbmmZibKlm6MchFtC5pH6Q-xhPsVs1cmL3D/s1600/IMG_7750.JPG" /></a></div>
<br />
My <b>first tip </b>for counteracting this is to <b>add a drop or two of a facial oil</b> into your foundation (just mix in your palm), and apply it to your face as normal. Depending on the coverage of your foundation, adding a drop of oil will slightly reduce the amount of coverage, but it will make it sit so much better on your skin and give a glowy, seamless look. My current favourite oil to mix into foundations is <a href="https://www.mecca.com.au/josie-maran-cosmetics/100-pure-argan-oil-50ml/I-019482.html?gclid=CjwKCAjw4sLVBRAlEiwASblR-wPWfIeRrH-SEfY3HIvNt5A3Gtm8dlQ2upYmVtgEqv5wfbAofYC2ARoCWR4QAvD_BwE"><b>Josie Maran's 100% Pure Argan Oil</b></a>.<br />
<br />
My second tip for creating a more flawless base is <b>making sure that your eye area is prepped for concealer</b>. I like to go in with a super rich eye cream (I'm loving <a href="https://www.mecca.com.au/bareminerals/ageless-genius-firming-wrinkle-smoothing-eye-cream/I-030953.html"><b>bareMinerals Ageless Genius Firming and Wrinkle Smoothing Eye Cream</b></a>), before I do my concealer, and find my concealer sits much nicer on my skin and resists sinking into dry areas or emphasising fine lines.<br />
<br />
Finally, for my final tip for creating a flawless base, I wanted to dispel a common myth. Y<b>ou don't have to set your entire face</b>! In fact, it is much more comfortable for those with drier skin to not set their foundation at all with powder. However, for those that feel that they absolutely must set their face with powder, I recommend just applying a light amount and only to areas that are absolutely necessary (ie: T Zone, under eyes). I recommend a setting powder like <b><a href="https://www.mecca.com.au/bareminerals/mineral-veil/V-012663.html">bareMineral's Mineral Veil</a>, </b>instead of a foundation powder, which can create a cakey appearance.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
In winter, I personally take a <b>less is more</b> approach when it comes to my makeup. Too many layers of makeup can make my skin look drier than it already is, and make it look much older.<br />
<br />
I like to take a <b>pink toned blush</b>, and add some colour back to my pale skin (my current favourite is <a href="https://www.mecca.com.au/bareminerals/gen-nude-powder-blush/V-030923.html"><b>bareMineral's Gen Nude Pink Me Up</b></a> blush), and <b>then add some colour to my lips</b>. Instead of a drying liquid lipstick, I like to take a gloss like <a href="https://www.mecca.com.au/lipstick-queen/frog-prince-lip-gloss/I-024135.html#q=frog%2Bprince&start=1"><b>Lipstick Queen's Frog Prince</b></a>. This one is a fave because it looks green in the tube, but it changes colour when applied to the lips and adapts to your perfect shade of pink.<br />
<br />
<b>Now, onto skincare!</b><br />
<br />
It is important to switch up your skincare routine to adapt to the weather. For example, you might only need a hydrating serum in the summer, but reach for a thick, balmy moisturiser in the winter. <b>Listening to what your skin is crying out for is the most important thing.</b> If you are confused about the massive amount of skincare available out there, and just want to keep it simple, consider picking up a trial skincare pack like<a href="https://www.mecca.com.au/skyn-iceland/winter-rehab-kit-a-complexion-intervention/I-028093.html"> <b>Skyn Iceland's Winter Rehab Kit</b></a>, which contains a face wash, face oil, face cream, eye pen, and eye gel to give your skin some extra TLC this winter.<br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
Before all of the <b>Tarte shade range drama</b> went down, I heard that they were releasing two new foundations; a matte version and a hydrating version, to expand their Shape Tape range. My eyes skimmed over the words 'matte' and settled on the words 'hydrating'. AH. A dry skin girl's dream, could it be?!<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
And then all the drama ensued, with the release of the ridiculous shade range. But we won't go into that, because it has already been said everywhere else. It was a disappointing move on Tarte's part to release shades that weren't inclusive, but yet, not much has ever been said about the lack of deep shades in plenty of drugstore and even high end brands.<br />
<br />
But anyway. Back to the Hydrating foundation. I was unsure whether to pick it up after the controversy, but I decided it would be ironic to boycott Tarte while using other brands that have limited shade ranges. Of course, it is up to you whether or not you decide to support Tarte. I have decided to try to include more inclusive brands in the future on Wellness by Kels, so that everyone can find their perfect shade.<br />
<br />
I picked up the <b>Tarte Shape Tape Hydrating Foundation</b> in the shade<b> Fair Light Neutral</b>.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuvv8MoL068sDCshJamlkdg09-YXS5kWpdQS8Jz4zCRD8TjUvOArfV6xwNxFb4nx73wiSTatHsjJLK8sReuvXtPuBtfPW5PzGFb9F4F4gtrlHLYdSrqlBgxnSzIJeyycD0nsBq56feSSHs/s1600/IMG_7642.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="tarte shape tape hydrating foundation review" border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuvv8MoL068sDCshJamlkdg09-YXS5kWpdQS8Jz4zCRD8TjUvOArfV6xwNxFb4nx73wiSTatHsjJLK8sReuvXtPuBtfPW5PzGFb9F4F4gtrlHLYdSrqlBgxnSzIJeyycD0nsBq56feSSHs/s1600/IMG_7642.JPG" title="tarte shape tape hydrating foundation fair light neutral swatch" /></a></div>
<br />
As far as the foundation goes, it had some pretty big shoes to fill after the success of the Shape Tape concealer. I ordered the hydrating foundation with the hope that it would be more lightweight and more friendly on my super dry skin than the Shape Tape concealer, which I find quite drying on my skin, and too full coverage for my everyday needs.<br />
<br />
The claims for this foundation are quite extensive. Tarte claim that the hydrating foundation is a <i>hypoallergenic, luminous-finish gel foundation that provides the same complexion perfecting superpowers as the concealer, with an added boost of skin smoothing, oil free hydration</i>. It is meant to give buildable, longwearing coverage in a skin smoothing, weightless gel. It has a collagen and hyaluronic acid packed formula that will <i>continously hydrate the skin </i>while plumping and refining pores, all without creasing, caking or fading for 12 hours.<br />
<br />
I tested this foundation with and without primer, and without setting spray, so I could see exactly how it performed. The foundation comes with a wand to apply the product with, just like the shape tape concealer, albeit larger. Unfortunately, the wand only disperses the smallest amount of product, so I felt like I was continuously dipping it back in to get enough to cover my entire face. I really hope they fix that in the future as I have heard several other people talk about this.<br />
<br />
I apply the foundation directly to my skin from the wand, and then blend out with a beauty blender. Using a sponge, and going back over certain areas to add extra coverage, leaves me with a solid medium finish. I prefer medium finishes over full coverage, so this foundation already has my heart.<br />
<br />
And the finish, guys! It looks incredibly skin like, <b>gives my skin a glowy goddess finish</b>, and doesn't cake up in my fine lines. As I have incredibly dry skin, I don't set this with powder, as I prefer to look like a dewy Glossier rep.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnTTTWMpuPO0m6CoLmPTZa0fKHpyUIAREhOkirOF94XJDcVcZLHeZzZWyxJxNMtrQPEXhtbsMz7VvhFxYvyJsRwcNM4LvNVLsjsNhzrH0Mbpt4y4ddjwuNItSpF1hYP0uAX0ai5Eco30VH/s1600/IMG_7605.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnTTTWMpuPO0m6CoLmPTZa0fKHpyUIAREhOkirOF94XJDcVcZLHeZzZWyxJxNMtrQPEXhtbsMz7VvhFxYvyJsRwcNM4LvNVLsjsNhzrH0Mbpt4y4ddjwuNItSpF1hYP0uAX0ai5Eco30VH/s320/IMG_7605.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Here I am, pretending to be a Glossier model ;)</span></div>
<br />
The only bad thing I can say about this foundation is where I have persistent, excessive dryness on my chin, this foundation can sometimes emphasise it. This isn't a big deal to me though, as most foundations do this to me.<br />
<br />
The lasting power on my skin is incredible. It still looks just as amazing as it did in the morning, and is lightweight. It hasn't caked up or creased or broken up on my skin. What's more, when I wear this foundation several days in a row, I find my skin feels more hydrated and plump, even after I take it off! What is this sorcery?!<br />
<br />
===<br />
<br />
Overall, I would highly recommend this to my dry skinned beauties out there, if you are lucky to get a shade match. I can't stop using this, even when I have a LOT of other foundations sitting there to test out.<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #242424;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #242424;"><b>NEW MOON BLENDS</b> - Feeling Quartzy Crystal Mist</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #242424;">I am always looking for anything to help calm my stressed body, and what sounds more relaxing than a spritzer bottle filled with jasmine essential oil and real rose quartz stones?! This spray helps calm and uplift, and can be spritzed over your body, furniture or your house, or used as a perfume. I think I will gift this bottle to a loved one that has been going through a tough time recently and is also a lover of crystals.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #242424;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #242424;"><b>MY LILY EARTH </b>- Pink 3 in 1 Cleansing Grains</span></span><br />
The first thing that drew me into this product was the fact that it is made 2 hours from where I live! I love powder masks because they are so versatile and can be mixed into any liquid (my fave is manuka honey!) I love the simplistic but non irritating ingredient list (french pink clay, colloidal oatmeal, rosehips), and cant wait to slather this on my face.<br />
<br />
<b>BRIDIELOUISE</b> - Diamond Shaped Mini Crystal Soap<br />
These itsy bitsy sized soaps contain a selection of stones within them to provide healing properties, while the olive oil and goat milk base moisturises and provides antioxidant benefits. They are almost too cute to use! They would make the perfect gift.<br />
<br />
<b>JULISA</b> - Rose Quartz Crystal Gemstone Roller<br />
This gemstone facial roller is as beautiful as it is relaxing! I have yet to try it with my facial products, but even rolling it over my skin on its own has such a cooling sensation and depuffing action on my skin. Julisa is such a gorgeous natural brand and I love that they offer facial rollers in my favourite gemstone; rose quartz.<br />
<br />
<b>PINK CRYSTAL PEN</b><br />
A cute little addition that is super functional!<br />

I have tried the Invisible Tan in the past, and loved it, so I am excited to have another tube to use! The Face Tan Water and The Face Compost sound so intriguing, and I can't wait to try them out. I am also always up for testing out a natural deodorant! And that exfoliant glove looks like the perfect thing for removing old patchy tan -yes!<br />
<br />
If you are a lover of natural products, I would recommend picking this box up and trying out the Eco Tan brand!<br />

Fragrance is an amazing thing. A scent has the ability to transport you to another time or memory, within seconds. It can remind you of a holiday you took, a spring day, or even a loved one. I personally love giving (and receiving!) fragrance for presents, as it feels personal and I can be reminded daily of my loved one when I wear the fragrance they chose. I know that fragrance can also be tricky to gift, as everyone has individual preferences. However, I wanted to share two fragrances from<b> Marc Jacobs</b> that seem to be universally loved by women, and are what I consider a great gift option for a lovely lady in your life this Christmas.<a name='more'></a><div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The <b>Daisy</b> fragrances from Marc Jacobs are undeniably one of the most popular fragrances on the market these days, and for good reason. </div>

The <b>Original Daisy Fragrance Eau de Toilette</b> is a fresh and feminine scent that has notes of wild strawberry, violet petals and a blend of gardenia and jasmine. It also has notes of birch and cedarwood to add intensity. This fragrance reminds me of my Mum, as it is one of her absolute favourites! You can't go wrong with this one! (PS: The bottle pictured is a limited edition bottle. The regular is a clear glass bottle with white flowers. It is also gorgeous.)</div>

<b>Daisy Eau So Fresh</b> is a brighter, more fruity and bubbly version of the original. It contains top notes of natural raspberry, pear and grapefruit, a mid base of violets, wild rose, and apple blossom, and a dry base of musks, cedarwood and plum. This is definitely my favourite of the two, as I favour a fruitier, sweeter scent, but I adore both.</div>

<b>Ulta3</b> is a brand that I have wanted to try for a long time, but hadn't, until recently when I was sent a whole bunch of goodies. I was blown away with the quality of their products, especially considering the price, so I had to share my thoughts with you all!<a name='more'></a><div>
I was sent a few products from the collaboration they did with <b>Elyse Knowles</b>; a well known Australian model. The collection has a very luxe feel; from the rose gold packaging, to the quality of the products in the collection. </div>

<div>
This bronzer contains a combination of matte and shimmer pigments to deliver a glowy bronzer that will warm up your complexion perfectly. I personally prefer bronzers with a shimmer/sheen to them, as opposed to matte ones, as I fully embrace any opportunity to add more glow to my skin! This bronzer is perfect for my pale skin, and is honestly everything I could ask for in a bronzer!</div>

<div>
With a mix of shimmer and matte finishes, this palette is so gorgeous and versatile. I love the different mix of colours, but even though it is marketed as an eye and cheek palette, I only use it as an eye palette as the individual shades are so small, and it is hard to fit a face brush into just one colour. The powders are soft and aren't the most pigmented I have tried, but they do blend easily and give a soft wash of colour that is appropriate for day wear (which is the look I generally prefer).</div>

<div>
This six piece set contains five vegan and cruelty free brushes and a handy brush roll for storing them. I am blown away by the quality of these brushes. They are super soft and blend product so well into my skin. The two face brushes are my favourite, as they are the style of brushes I generally gravitate towards in my daily life. I also love the blue handles and rose gold ferules as I think that they make the brushes look super unique and pretty. I would highly, highly recommend picking up this set. In fact, I am trying to resist the temptation to pick up another set!</div>

<div>
It is no secret that I love a good glow, so anything that has 'illuminating' in its title has my ears perked up. This primer contains no large glitter particles, and absorbs into the skin easily, leaving a gorgeous lit from within glow and my skin super silky. It also preps my skin so well and prevents my foundation from emphasizing any dry patches (of which I have a few, due to acne treatments drying out my skin, and my skin generally being a super dry pain all the time anyway). Love this, especially for how affordable it is!</div>

<div>
This kit contains a mixture of powder and cream products to cover all of your blush, contour and highlighting needs. I feel like this kit is more suited to those with light/medium tones, and it is a perfect palette for my pale skin as I can utilize every shade. I have been using the cream highlight on an everyday basis, when I want a dewy highlight, and adding a touch of the powder highlight on top if i want to intensify my glow. The two peach and coral blushes are super flattering on my skin, and are buildable! I have also been a big fan of using the cream contour alone for a natural look, or adding the powder contour on top to really define my cheekbones. I have no bad words to say about this palette.</div>

<b>Inika Organic</b> is an <b>Australian</b> cosmetics brand that creates products that are <b>certified organic, vegan, cruelty free, halal and 100% natural</b>. I haven't tried a product yet from Inika that I haven't loved, which speaks to how great this brand actually is!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This brush is one of the fanciest I have ever seen, with its soft touch packaging and sliding case which makes it super simple for travelling, but also makes it look too gorgeous not to display on your vanity. This brush is perfect for applying powders with its super soft bristles, comfortable handle, and rounded top. It features a 35 degree angle to reach every corner of your face, and over 1.2 million (!) micro-fine soft bristles. I love to use this to apply my powder foundations as this really allows me to buff the product into my skin!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
One of the most unique brushes I have come across in my time blogging, this brush was designed with a concave centre, which allows you to hold extra product to allow you to apply extra coverage to your face, without having to stop and start. This brush is super dense but soft, and allows me to apply my foundation flawlessly. The design is also super luxe, and is definitely a brush you will want to display!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
These new cream highlighters give a dewy finish to the skin that looks super natural and blends in to the skin flawlessly. I apply with a brush and then blend in with my fingers, which I find the best way with this stiffer formula. These cream illuminisors come in three gorgeous shades; Gold; perfect for my pale skin, Spice; a bronze that works but would look better on a darker skin tone, and Rose; a pink tone that I wear as a blush topper. I highly recommend these if you are looking for a lit from within highlighter.</div>

If you are more of a baked highlighter fan, this highlighter from Inika will win you over. This baked highlighter gives a natural glow to the skin that can be built up! I find that this really looks natural on the skin and doesn't leave a powder strip on my cheeks, which I really hate.</div>

I saved the best for last! This gorgeous palette includes 7 shadows inspired by the earth's natural pigments, and is perfect for day AND night looks. The shadows are a mixture of soft pinks, sultry plums, earthy browns, and a shimmery champagne. I was really impressed with this palette when I first began testing it out (so many natural eyeshadows just don't cut the mustard for me). However, that soon grew to a solid love affair of this palette, with its beautiful, easy to blend warm tones. It contains so many complimentary shades, and is easy to create a look with, as every single shade works with another. The shadows are pigmented, and last well on the lids. I honestly have no bad words to say. I would highly recommend picking this one up for a loved one (or yourself) if possible!</div>

<b>Rimmel</b> is a drugstore brand I have loved for years, and I'm excited to see them releasing a lot of products lately. However, as we all know, not every single product that a brand puts out will be a winner for every single person, as that is impossible! I wanted to share my <b>hits</b> and <b>misses</b> from the products I have tried recently from the brand, so keep on reading if you are interested to know what I thought!</div>

<u><b>Wonderwing Liner</b></u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I was instantly curious about this liner when I read that it could help you create a 'wing', as I can't do winged liner to save my life. This eyeliner has a unique applicator, whereby you can use the tip of the pen to line your eyelid, and then turn the liner on its side and press the stamp applicator onto the outer corner of the eye, creating a wing that is symmetrical on both eyes. I found this super easy to use, and because of this liner I have been sporting a decent wing for once! I love the liner also just for lining my lids, and find that it is super black and really lasts all day without smudging. I will definitely repurchase when I run out!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<u><b>Wonder'fully Real Mascara with Keratin</b></u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Just for some background info: I love a good wet mascara that allows a lot of product onto the wand. I also love plastic bristled brushes. This mascara ticks all of these boxes and almost takes it too far. It disperses so much product that I can see how this could easily become a horrible clumpy mess for some people, if they don't take care when applying. However, when I wipe the mascara wand on the tube a few times before applying, and go in gently, this makes my lashes look amazing! I get massive volume and length, and it lasts all day with minimal smudging. Would I repurchase? Definitely, yes!</div>

<u><b>Magnif'Eyes Eye Contouring Palette</b></u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I was lucky enough to receive all four of the new Magnif'Eyes Palettes to try out, but I definitely felt the most drawn to the Blush and Colour, as they were the most unique to my eyeshadow collection. I was super surprised at how good the quality of these palettes is. I haven't had the best experience with drugstore eyeshadow palettes, and have yet to find one that isn't underwhelming pigmentation and performance wise. But guys? These are great! They are pigmented, soft and blend easily. They also have good lasting power on the lids. If you are looking for a great drugstore eyeshadow palette option, I would definitely check out these guys. They would also be the perfect stocking filler for a loved one! </div>

<b><u>Lasting Finish 25H Breathable Concealer</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I received the lightest shade in this, and I'm excited to say that this shade is light enough for my pale skin! This concealer contains a cushion applicator, which I do not like as it is hard and seems to absorb the concealer I swipe on, leaving me with minimal, streaky coverage on my skin! I prefer to use swipe this on my skin with my finger, and used this way, this concealer is a great, medium coverage, natural looking option. I prefer to use this concealer as a brightener underneath my eyes, and use a higher coverage concealer to cover my blemishes. It feels light on the skin and lasts quite well on my dry skin. Would I repurchase? Probably, I have a lot of concealers to use up in my stash first!</div>

<b>... And onto the 'miss' from Rimmel's new releases.</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<u><b>Lasting Finish 25H Breathable Foundation</b></u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I found that the lightest shade of this foundation was the perfect match for my pale skin, and when I initially applied this foundation, it was undetectable on my skin, giving me a flawless, medium coverage, natural finish that I loved. The ultra runny formula worried me as I generally prefer a thicker foundation, as they are kinder on my super dry skin. But I couldn't deny that it looked perfect on my skin, and I was convinced that I had found a new fave. It felt super lightweight, and my other makeup applied well on top of it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
However, as the day went on, my skin just felt drier and drier, the foundation had started to settle into every single line and pore into my face, and it had started to break up on my face. :(</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Towards the end of the afternoon, I couldn't wait til I was able to wash my face and remove my makeup, as the foundation had made my skin feel unbearably dry and like I was wearing paint that had dried and cracked! I tried this foundation a few more times with different bases, and just couldn't get it to work for me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have read so many rave reviews from people that have oily/normal skin types on this foundation, so I wouldn't say that this foundation is a bad one. I just don't think it is suited to my skin type. If you have super dry skin like I do, I would recommend skipping this one, and perhaps trying Rimmel's Wake Me Up foundation instead.</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #242424; font-family: "Droid Serif", serif; font-size: 14px;">This month's tropical edition is very close to my heart as I have grown up near the beach and am very much a beachy girl that adores summer. My dream holiday destination is anywhere tropical! </span><br />

I already own this shade, so this one will make a great Christmas gift for a loved one. I adore the luxe packaging, the hydrating formula, and the pigmentation of these lippies!

<b>Designer Brands</b> is a brand that has only just jumped onto my radar, but the products I have tried so far have been so amazing that I can't put them down! I recently got my hands on a few of their new releases and now that I have been using them a while I wanted to share my thoughts while they are still available.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
Designer Brands is an amazing <b>Australian</b> beauty brand that is known for providing beauty lovers with the chance to try designer quality makeup and beauty at extremely affordable prices. All products are <b>cruelty free, and most are Vegan certified </b>(with synthetics beeswax and lanolin used, and all non vegan products being reformulated as quickly as possible!)<br />
<br />

<br />
Firstly, I wanted to talk about the new <b><a href="https://www.dbcosmetics.com.au/10-piece-premium-brush-set">10 Piece Premium Brush Kit</a></b> that was recently released. This brush kit contains 10 beautiful vegan and cruelty free brushes that are super soft and fluffy. They are luxurious in appearance with long handles and gold ferules, and completed with the rose gold brush roll which is perfect for storing them in. These brushes are perfect for anyone; from beginners to makeup experts. The ten piece set contains a fan brush, foundation/buffing brush, powder brush, eye shadow blending brush, eye shadow crease brush, eye shadow brush, angled contour brush, liner brush, lip brush and dual ended brow brush. Everything you need for a full look!<br />
<br />
As well as the brush kit, Designer brands have released some new beauty tools to help you create a flawless base.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-zEwO7aQSAi8NLTDGkNG_iWJGJlJ2LxWSt12UYlPciLlh8H12mh4mp06VAn8NG5vmequ5DFgdNJjJxumckGtZFWUvKMCF4qjbjwFjcUkWe4bZm0fkB2fMqKUNCxWXMbh3dLeguqiiU8dx/s1600/IMG_5115.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-zEwO7aQSAi8NLTDGkNG_iWJGJlJ2LxWSt12UYlPciLlh8H12mh4mp06VAn8NG5vmequ5DFgdNJjJxumckGtZFWUvKMCF4qjbjwFjcUkWe4bZm0fkB2fMqKUNCxWXMbh3dLeguqiiU8dx/s1600/IMG_5115.JPG" /></a></div>
<br />
The <b>Be Blended</b> beauty sponges are soft and squishy and perfect for applying cream and liquid products. The <a href="https://www.dbcosmetics.com.au/be-blended-beauty-sponge-bubblegum"><b>Bubblegum Sponge</b></a> has a round base for large surfaces and a tapered tip for detail work, while the <a href="https://www.dbcosmetics.com.au/be-blended-beauty-sponge-mint"><b>Mint Sponge</b></a> has a round base and a flat edge for building coverage. Both sponges are great quality and have quickly become some of my favourite sponges for applying and blending my foundation and concealer, and liquid and cream contour.<br />
<br />
<b><a href="https://www.dbcosmetics.com.au/vegan-perfecting-brush">The All In 1 Perfecting Brush</a> </b>is a brush that has been designed to be multipurpose and useful for almost everything! Use with powder/liquid foundations, to blend out concealer, to apply bronzer/contour, to apply blush, or even to apply highlighter. My favourite use for this brush is to contour as the shape really allows me to carve out my cheekbones perfectly. I also love it for applying blush. It is super soft and I think will be my makeup weapon of choice when travelling as I can use it for everything.<br />
<br />
The <a href="https://www.dbcosmetics.com.au/make-em-jelly-sili-sponge"><b>Make Em Jelly Sili Sponge</b></a> is a nod to the huge makeup trend that surfaced recently. It is a sponge entirely made of silicone that can be used to apply liquid and cream products. Due to the nature of silicone, the sponge does not absorb any product, so no makeup is wasted. I like to use this to spread out my foundation and concealer, and then I go in with a regular beauty sponge to create a flawless finish.<br />
<br />
Designer Brands have also released some gorgeous eyeshadow and base palettes this holiday season!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The <a href="https://www.dbcosmetics.com.au/like-a-diamond-shadow-palette">Like A Diamond Eyeshadow Palette</a> contains 12 super pigmented shimmer and matte eyeshadows shades, as well as an kohl eyeliner pencil and eyeshadow brush. The packaging is gorgeous, and has a golden glitter design; very appropriate for the holiday season! The shades are super wearable, soft, creamy and easy to blend. I can't believe this palette is only $18! This would make the perfect Christmas gift!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLcQtDeIVvTqbPpZif8eWluW-35OjwKGdKVX2KkRc0gyGAE0E4gXjFRLd7FEUjlSFd2sL4c7SpyFutKekQsU5xQc8djGbzfenx1GhoWzV6iDBAsXS9rrr17Il6mpIUAnY01dNmfztM3bHn/s1600/IMG_5110.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLcQtDeIVvTqbPpZif8eWluW-35OjwKGdKVX2KkRc0gyGAE0E4gXjFRLd7FEUjlSFd2sL4c7SpyFutKekQsU5xQc8djGbzfenx1GhoWzV6iDBAsXS9rrr17Il6mpIUAnY01dNmfztM3bHn/s1600/IMG_5110.JPG" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
The <a href="https://www.dbcosmetics.com.au/almost-famous">Almost Famous Contour and Highlight Palette</a> contains everything you need to ace your base! It contains two shimmer highlight shades, one yellow brightening powder, four bronze shades, and one contour shade. This palette is designed for someone with a light to medium skintone, as the shades wouldn't flatter someone with a really deep skintone. The powders are soft, buildable, and easy to blend. The bronzer shades add a gorgeous warmth to the skin, the contour shade is perfect for my pale skin, and the yellow powder is perfect for brightening under my eyes. And the shimmer shades are so so pigmented and beautiful! They add a pretty shine to the high points of my face that resembles some of my higher end highlighters! If I could change one thing about this palette I would remove one of the bronzers and add a pale matte highlighting shade instead, but overall I am super impressed.<br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">These genius reusable makeup removing pads are the perfect gift for any makeup remover. Simply wet with water (no cleanser needed!), and gently remove makeup. <span style="background-color: white;">Face Halo works with either cold or warm water. The water loosens your makeup allowing the HaloTech fiber strands (which are 100 times finer than a human hair) to reach deep into your pores to remove and trap makeup, giving your skin a healthy and invigorating clean in half the time.</span><span style="background-color: white;"> These pads can remove even the heaviest makeup. They also come with a washbag so you can toss them inside and wash with your clothing!</span></span></div>

With ten seductive chocolate themed shades that range from matte to metallic, you can't go wrong.

<div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">If the beauty in your life is a big eyeshadow fan, a dry wash is the perfect gift. Dry Wash is a sponge packaged in a travel container, which removes powder product from brushes without the drying time of a liquid brush cleaner. It removes pigment and residue, allowing you to easily switch between eyeshadow shades without having to grab another brush. I personally use mine every single time I do my eyeshadow. Several brands offer these, and they don't really differ in quality, but if you are looking to support a great, smaller brand, I recommend Spicy Choco!</span></div>

<br />
Being a concealer<i> junkie</i>, I couldn't resist picking up a few shades of <b>Colourpop's new No Filter Concealer</b> shortly after it launched. Retailing at only $6 USD, does this concealer perform as well as my other well loved drugstore and high end concealers? Keep reading to find out ;)<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
Colourpop's No Filter concealer is described as a creamy, lightweight formula with blurring pigments to give you a creaseproof, matte finish, with no filter needed. It is available in 15 shades and each concealer contains 4g (0.14 oz). <br />
<br />
The concealers come in a tube with a unique flat doe foot applicator which is flexible, and allows you to apply concealer with ease to any area. The formula is fragrance and alcohol free, which I am so happy about, as I try to avoid these irritants in my products if possible!<br />
<br />
I picked up the two lightest shades, because I am generally the lightest shade in all brands of concealer. The swatches I found online of the lightest shade; 5, looked quite light so I grabbed shade 10 as well to be on the safe side. Luckily, I can get away with both shades on my super fair skin! I have to say though, these oxidise from how they look when you first swipe them on your skin. They oxidise so quickly (almost immediately) that I was unable to get a photo showing the shade change, so keep in mind that the swatches shown are the concealers after they oxidise. This isn't a big deal to me though as the colour that they oxidise to (about a shade darker than when first put on the skin) still matches my skin. <br />
<br />

<br />
I have been testing the concealer out under my eyes and to spot conceal, which is how I typically use a concealer on a daily basis. And, I have to say, this concealer has a formula unlike any other I have tried! If I had to compare it, I would say that if Tarte Shape Tape and Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer had a baby, this would be it. It has a satin matte, incredibly skin like finish on the skin, and blends like an absolute dream. I find if I push this into the skin well with my beauty blender, it is so resistant to creasing all day long, and a powder is not needed to set it. The fact that it doesn't need to be set as it basically sets itself is a huge plus for this gal with her super dry skin. <br />
<br />
As for coverage, I would say that it gives a medium/full coverage, and lasts well on the skin all day long. I find that it can start to look a tiny bit patchy on my super dry spots around my chin towards the end of the day, but that is nothing compared to Shape Tape, which is unwearable (except under my eyes) on my dry skin. If you don't have any issues with Shape Tape causing dryness on your skin, I daresay these concealers will work well on your skin.<br />
<br />
I am absolutely in love with this concealer for its price point and its performance. I prefer it over my shape tape, as it is better suited to my skin type!<br />
<br />

<br />
I would definitely recommend picking up one or more of these concealers to try out. I personally would repurchase and want to pick up a shade to contour with!<br />
