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
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
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.

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.

Face of Australia Lip Quench Silver Rose Lipstick
Price: $9.45
Obtained: Gift Bag
Thoughts:
This is a really interesting colour, it’s a slightly orange based light brown but when worn it takes on a teracotta tone with quite a bit of pink in it. The formula is moisturising with she and jojoba oil and having SPF30+ is a massive plus for me. It goes on very smooth and is what I would call medium in terms of pigment. I quite like it and it would make a good every day work staple.
