We Love Australia!
This month it's all about celebrating Australian Beauty Brands and this amazing place we call home!
YOU ME AND EVERYBODY COOL IT ALOE VERA GEL 100ml full-size RRP $8.95. This is not something I would normally purchase as I don't need it. I did try a little on the back of my hands and it was lovely and hydrating. I have passed it on to my husband to use on his face after he shaves.
AURORA SPA ROSE AND ALOE BODY CLEANSER 50ml sample, RRP $28 275ml. I love Aurora Spa, their products smell divine. This is a generous travel size 50ml sample, I am going to enjoy trying this. UPDATE: This is low lathering, I applied with a sponge and found I was using twice as much to wash myself. Smelt great while I was washing but fades pretty quickly, lovely botanical rose aroma.
AURORA SPA ULTRA RICH BODY CREAM 50ml sample, RRP $52 200ml. Another great Aurora Spa product, I think it's pretty expensive for a body lotion, but it smells soooo good I just might treat myself. UPDATE: Lovely and moisturising, this is a very rich cream, has a lovely botanical aroma but fades pretty quickly. I like that as it doesn't compete with any perfume you might want to wear during the day. I still think its very expensive for 200ml of body moisutriser.
NATIO PURE MINERAL SKIN PERFECTING BB CREAM SPF 15 5g sample, RRP $14.95 50g. Natio have been around since I was a teenager and I really like their products, their lip gloss is great. I am a big fan of Korean BB Creams and I usually find that western BB creams are no more than a glorified tinted moisturiser. I will update when I try this. UPDATE; I tried this today, lovely and creamy, pleasant botanical aroma, moisturising, easy to apply. Wrong skin tone I am fair NOT medium, I can wear this but it is just a little dark for my liking. FURTHER UPDATE. I did purchase this in Fair and I love it. Great coverage and last all day even in hot weather. All you need do is set with some powder.
FACE OF AUSTRALIA COLOUR MAX EYE SHADOW PALETTE full-size RRP $10.95. This is a 4 shadow palette called GOLDMINE, From top left, Silver/grey sparkle, Matte Brown , Gold Shimmer and Darker Brown Sparkle. I haven't opened this yet but when I do I will provide swatches. I love the colour selection. I am really happy to see this in my BB box as I rarely receive eye shadows, mascaras etc......... and I love eye shadow!
As long as I get at least one product I like in a box I am fairly happy and I was really happy to receive the eye shadow and the Aurora Spa products. For some reason the second shipment later in the month seems to get the luxe products and I really wanted to try The Little Alchemist and Jurlique samples but this was an OK box for me.
If you would like to try BB for yourself go here.
