Face of Australia Morning Mist Lip Gloss

Price: $8.95

Obtained: Gift Bag

Thoughts:

I love this shade, it’s the perfect princess pink. The formula is smooth and non sticky and it had a good amount of shimmer in it without that gross sandy feeling. It has a nice sweet smell, kind of cotton candyish which goes perfectly with the colour. The colour is sheer and works well by itself or layered over a nice lipstick for a bright pink. This one made it into my handbag rotation because the colour is so versatile.

Would I buy Face of Australia Morning Mist Lip Gloss again: Yes.

Guinot Age Logic Minceur Silhouette Refining Stubborn Cellulite… Currently Reviewing

Guinot Age Logic Minceur Silhouette Refining Stubborn Cellulite

Price: $160 (for the full bottle)

Obtained: Gift Bag

Thoughts:

I have a sample bottle which I used for around a week every night. You use light massaging movements to rub it in. It smells good, kind of fruity and perfumed and feels quite thin. Pink in colour, the cream rubs in easily but the smell hangs around. I found it made my skin look a little shiny. Over the time I used it my skin felt softer but I can’t say for sure if it actually helped cellulite. I couldn’t see a noticeable difference but I only had a sample bottle so maybe with long term use it would give more impressive results. I probably wouldn’t buy again but I don’t have large problems with cellulite

Would I buy Guinot Age Logic Minceur Silhouette Refining Stubborn Cellulite again: No because I’m not concerned about cellulite. Someone who is might find this good.

Face of Australia Purifying Cleansing Wipes

Price: $4.95

Obtained: Gift Bag

Thoughts:

Alcohol free so they are good for dry skin, I have dry skin so I personally like things which are alcohol free. I wish there was a dispenser you could buy to put them in which is a bit prettier but that doesn’t detract from the product. They are lightly scented kind of like floral moisturizer. The tissues are quite plain and leave a nice feeling though slightly sticky so I found following with moisturizer was a must. Nothing particularly bad about them but nothing stand out either, they worked fine on my sensitive skin. Found it took a little work to get rid of eye make up but that’s normall with all of the wipes like this I’ve tried.

Nivea Extra Gentle Make Up Remover… Currently Reviewing

Nivea Extra Gentle Make Up Remover

Price: Around $8

Obtained: Gift Bag

Thoughts:

Not a particularly huge fan of this one. While it is very gentle on the skin it also doesn’t remove as much as most of my other removers so I found myself having to reapply and rub a couple of times to get rid of mascara effectively. It smelled very clean and a bit soapish. Nothing that bad about it but I’ve been spoiled with removers that remove all my make up in one swipe so it was hard for me to like this.

Would I buy Nivea Extra Gentle Make Up Remover again: Probably not.

Sleek French Twist Hair Tutorial

WOOHOO INTERNET AGAIN! Uploading a bunch of videos and things as I type this and seeing as all of my scheduled posts didn’t actually go live while I was away I’ve got plenty of stuff to post 😀 I’m too happy to even rant about the crappy TPG service. Saving that rant for later 😉

So let’s start with a hair tutorial!

Back when I did a tutorial on making this lace and learn hair comb a lot of comments were asking for a hair tutorial on the style.

Hair-Comb-VioletLeBeaux_4530_9058

I did a video tutorial on it already over here but for those who can’t watch or prefer photos here’s one of those too ^_^

So what you need:

  • Brush
  • Pretty hair comb
  • Hair spray
  • Bobby pin
VioletLeBeaux-Sleek-work-updo-hair-tutorial-7955_10782
Brush your hair out to the back and towards one side.
VioletLeBeaux-Sleek-work-updo-hair-tutorial-7957_10784
Stick a bobby pin to hold it in place like this, it will act like a crease to help the hair fold in the right place and look very neat.

VioletLeBeaux-Sleek-work-updo-hair-tutorial-7959_10786

Brush the hair upwards to it’s sticking out horizontally.

VioletLeBeaux-Sleek-work-updo-hair-tutorial-7960_10787

Now use your hands to fold it across like this:

VioletLeBeaux-Sleek-work-updo-hair-tutorial-7962_10789

Tuck all of the ends inside and fold them into the roll.

VioletLeBeaux-Sleek-work-updo-hair-tutorial-7963_10790

Should look something like this. You should run your fingers through the sides from right to left to make sure the hair is all sitting the right way.

VioletLeBeaux-Sleek-work-updo-hair-tutorial-7965_10792

 

Once it’s all folded inside it should look something like this:

VioletLeBeaux-Sleek-work-updo-hair-tutorial-7972_10799

Secure it with a comb on the side. To use the comb you should grab a bit of hair from the twist…

VioletLeBeaux-Sleek-work-updo-hair-tutorial-7976_10803

…pull it right to the side and push into the scalp back the way it came.

VioletLeBeaux-Sleek-work-updo-hair-tutorial-7977_10804

And it looks like this! You might want to put in some more bobby pins if you don’t think it’s stable enough.

VioletLeBeaux-Sleek-work-updo-hair-tutorial-7978_10805

 

Most likely you’ll need some pins in the top swirl part to stop it coming loose.

VioletLeBeaux-Sleek-work-updo-hair-tutorial-7982_10809

Hair spray over everything and smooth flyaways with your hands.

VioletLeBeaux-Sleek-work-updo-hair-tutorial-7988_10815

If you have any problems with the insides breaking out again just lightly brush the outer layer into place again using short strokes.

VioletLeBeaux-Sleek-work-updo-hair-tutorial-7984_10811

 

Now just style your fringe and that’s it!

VioletLeBeaux-Sleek-work-updo-hair-tutorial-7992_10817

All done! I didn’t notice the bit popping out until after I finished >_<

VioletLeBeaux-Sleek-work-updo-hair-tutorial-7996_10821

 

 

Other side:

VioletLeBeaux-Sleek-work-updo-hair-tutorial-7994_10819

Stylish and sleek, this is a good one for work as well as times you just want to look a bit more polished.

Hope that all made sense and let me know if you have any other questions!

 

Ciccone Lipstick Rhea… Currently Reviewing

VioletLeBeauxDSC_7577_9901

Ciccone Lipstick Rhea

Price: $25

Obtained: Gift Bag

Thoughts:

I’m not a fan of nude lipstick in general but this shade looks particularly like death on me. I love the formula though, it feel creamy, lasts well and makes me lips feel soft as butter. Because my lips have a fairly light pink tint this orange toned nude just makes me look a bit like a corpse. That said I can see the colour being very popular with people who have orange toned skin and I have friends who wear this shade amazingly. So love the formula but not the particular colour on me.

Would I buy Ciccone Lipstick Rhea again: Not this colour, others yes.
