Beauty Bargain Alert: Nude by Nature Pack Only $20, Worth Over $160!

Worth over $160 and it cost $20!

Is that not crazy!?

My mum bought this Nude by Nature pack from a store in Birkenhead Point, Sydney. She doesn't remember the name of the shop :( but I will find out when I visit it myself!

So the box contains a mix of makeup and skincare products, which are:

• Nature's Exfoliating Scrub
• Nature's Super Anti-Oxidant Foaming Cleanser
• Nature's Eye & Face Make-up Remover
• Nature's 24 Hour Anti-ageing Moisturiser
• Undercover Airbrush Mineral Primer
• Soft Focus Illuminator
• Flawless Concealer (liquid, mineral)
• Natural Mineral Eyeliner (brown, waterproof)

I absolutely love the Soft Focus Illuminator (it was in my April favourites)! It is a beautiful gold colour that you can use mixed in with your foundation or on top. I also am really liking all of the skincare products, especially the 24 hour anti-ageing moisturiser. It says it is best for normal to dry skin, and contains jojoba oil, beeswax and ginko biloba. I apply it to my face and neck with Vitamin E cream at night, and my skin feels great in the morning.

My least favourite product is the Liquid Mineral Concealer. It just doesn't cover up well for me.

All of the products are full size and smell so good! Such a healthy, natural smell.

Who else is using any of these products? Thoughts?

My Brand New Real Techniques Brushes

YAY! My Real Techniques brushes arrived the other day, 8 days after ordering them from iHerb. Which is a pretty fast delivery time, since they came from Canada, through the US. Although they probably would have come quicker had I not ordered on a weekend, and if they had not arrived in Sydney the day before a four day long weekend!

Each set was $17.99 each, plus I got $5 off, and shipping was $12. It came to a total of $42.98. Cheaper than the Core Collection at Priceline, and only $3 more than the Eyes starter set! Worth it? Yes!

So if you want to purchase them from iHerb.com, you can use the code RJL705 and receive $10 off your order if it's over $40, or $5 off it's under $40.

I have seen so many YouTube videos on these brushes so I just needed to buy some for myself. 

Who else uses Real Techniques brushes? What's your view?

Lust have it! March Box

Yay, the collectable boxes are back! But that's definitely not the most exciting thing about this month's delivery. 

The Product List

BioElixia Body Shaper Cellulite Contour Cream. I wouldn't exactly say that I have cellulite, but I will be using it! I'm all about fighting the effects of ageing before it's too late!

The Natural Source Camouflage Colour Crayons. These crayons are really pigmented and glide on the skin so easily! I love the green for the eyes and the somewhat berry colour for the lips. Lust have it's youtube channel have a couple of videos on how to use them.

Goldwell dualsenses Rich Repair and Kerastase leave in treatment. The hair products are good, however, I've been trying to use only natural ingredient products in my hair, so I may have to pass these on to my mum!

Ocean Essence Natural Skin Care Strawberry Rubber Mask. I am mostly excited to use the strawberry rubber mask, because my skin is due for some tlc! I'll be using it tomorrow!

Alash lashes. The lashes! Bold and dramatic. They have an adhesive strip and are 100% human hair. I'll be wearing these on my next night out!

Yay! Vouchers! Now straight onto The Iconic to start shopping!

What did everyone think of the March box?

p.s. check back for my reviews when I start using the products, and for looks and how-to posts!

The Beauty of Baby Oil!

Never thought that you'd be using baby oil in between being an actual baby and having one of your own? Think again!

I use baby oil mainly for three things.
1. Removing makeup! Perfect for removing stubborn eye makeup, without irritation (although every one is different so I can't guarantee it won't irritate)

2. Adding into into my home made body scrub. It leaves the skin so smooth.

3. Applying it to my legs after I shave... No red bumps! Ever since I started shaving my kegs in high school, I get little red bumps all over the sides of my legs, it didn't matter what razor I used or what type of shaving cream. Now I rub baby oil all over my legs after shaving and my legs are fine! Silky smooth and no bumps (it also doesn't sting when it goes on, like moisturisers do).

I bought my Johnsons and Johnsons oil from The Reject Shop for $3! And you get a lot in it.
A very affordable product to add to your beauty regime.

Lust Have It! January Box

So a couple of weeks ago I registered to receive a beauty box every month filled with random beauty and hair products, from the website www.lusthaveit.com.au. I was so excited when I found it whilst doing who-knows-what on the internet, because I had no idea that we had this service in Australia! And the best thing about it is that it is only $15 per month, and you do not have to be locked into a yearly contract!

If you haven't heard of these beauty boxes, what happens is that you pay a certain amount, and you receive a beautiful box filled with all different sorts of cosmetics all together valued at over whatever yo. With Lust Have It, you also receive points from ordering the monthly boxes, which you can spend on buying different (or more) products from their website! Lust have it had a few different types of boxes, but I really liked what was in the previous month's boxes, so I signed up for this one.

So this is just a little review of the January Box.


I LOVE the packaging. I will definitely be reusing these boxes, maybe stacking them all up.

Nude by Nature BB 5-in-1 Miracle Cream
When I swatched this I thought it was going to give a good coverage because it felt quite creamy, however on my face it was just like any other BB cream. It smells really natural and will be good to give some moisture and colour to my skin.

Face of Australia Bronzing Loose Powder
A nice medium coloured bronzing powder with a lot of shimmer. So I would use this on my check bones, and maybe on my chest, but not for contouring.

Lust have it! Kabuki Brush
So at first I thought it would be good to apply powder to the face, but today I used it to apply my foundation and it gave a really nice finish! Very happy with this brush.

GKMBJ Lactic hydrating shampoo and fortifying honey creme
These hair products are from a new range and are apparently tested and proven by qualified hairdressers, using high quality ingredients. I will definitely test them out once I am done with my current hair care routine. The smell is ok.

Amuse Nail Lacquer
I am not a very big lover of blue nail polish, so I won't be using this one. It is much more of a lighter, neon blue in person. I do like that the colour is very pigmented so you don't need multiply coats.

I definitely will be substring to February's Lust have it! box. Mainly because I just love not knowing what you're going to get (it's like having a birthday every month!), and I think that it is worth the $15!
