Bump eRaiser : Say goodbye to pesky ingrown hairs!

Bump eRaiser Lotion $16.99 available from www.priceline.com.au

Waxing is one of those very painful but also very necessary beauty rituals that I go through on a bi-monthly basis. My twice a month regular bikini wax takes place at a fuss-free in and out type place and takes no more that 7 painful minutes to complete. Before you scream at your computer like most of my friends scream at my face 'Get laser!' my hair is naturally too fair for it to work even slightly.

After a bikini wax, like most people I will suffer from ingrown hairs, which are the most annoying thing about hair removal. Painful, annoying and irritating ingrown hairs are the worst. Until now I've had no way to help heal ingrown's, Bump eRaiser is a bikini line life saver. It is best used within hours of having a bikini wax done lathered onto the bikini line, whilst the hair follicles are still settling and post wax I use Bump eRaiser post showering when the skin is softened it seems to absorb best then. I have no idea what is in this magical lotion that helps the ingrown hairs from forming or scaring but it has been totally working, if you are like me and laser hair removal challenged I recommend Bump eRaiser post waxing.

COVERGIRL : Tru Blend Review

Cover Girl Tru Blend Liquid Foundation $19.95, Pressed Powder $18.95 and Fix Stick Concealer $14.95 available from www.priceline.com.au

My go to makeup items aren't always from expensive high end brands sometimes good things come with small price tags. I've been trialling the Cover Girl Tru Blend base products this month and I have to admit I've been very impressed at the overall formula and lasting power of these makeup kit staples. The Fix Stick Concealer is the star of the line for me, it's waxy formula is fantastic on my naturally oily/dewy skin for touch ups during the day. My skin gets a natural shine throughout the day and when touching up with a mattifying product it looks really out of place on my face, hello reverse panda eyes! 

The liquid foundation is a medium to high coverage on my skin, it is a great foundation for makeup beginners, my only gripe is I am in between colours and I need to blend 2 together to match my skin tone. 

Is anyone else really lazy with powder? It's my least used base product and by the time I get to this stage in applying my makeup I'm usually already 20mins late and so powder application is usually ditched. The Cover Girl Tru Blend Powder is a classic powder, nothing fancy just a straight up de-greasing compact that is very handy to throw in your handbag for daily use. 

All in all the Cover Girl Tru Blend range is a great budget friendly range of base products which could fit into your make up routine very easily. If you are an oily skinned babe like myself, the Fix Concealer is a must try!

Kat Von D Tattoo Liner Review... FYI It's totally amazing.

Eyeliner is my makeup souffle sometimes I can apply it faultlessly with extreme ease and precision

but most of the time it goes terribly wrong and I end up with wonky cat eyes which are swiftly removed with Bioderma before I can leave the house.

Kat Von D's Tattoo Liner has been getting some massive Internet big ups from US based beauty babes and I was desperate to try it out, with Sephora opening in Sydney I was finally able to get my greedy mitts on it!

Holy crap this eye liner is amazing! It is everything I wanted the Benefit 'They're Real' liner to be and more. The packaging is really well designed with the product being pumped into the brush tip when the lid is put on, the brush tip is loaded with the perfect amount of eye liner at all times. The brush tip is very easy to manipulate and lets you create a very fine line, the brush has enough stiffness that it holds its shape. In terms of the products colour pay off is great and is 80% opaque with one line, if you are creating a thicker cat eye then you will need to go back over it to get the opacity darker. It does have a slight sheen to it but can be set with a black shadow whilst its tacky to create a matte look.

All in all this eye liner is amazing and worth its hype, if you struggle with gel liner pots or pen liners this the Kat Von D Tattoo liner is the perfect combo of both with the least of fuss needed to apply perfect cat eyes.

Kat Von D Tattoo Liner in Trooper AUD$28.00 is available from www.sephora.com
