The hot and not so hot beauty booty we reviewed this month…..drumroll please…..

1000 Hour Ultra-thin Wax strips
These awesome wax strips with Aloe Vera & Vitamin E are great and fun. They worked great on my legs and have lasted! They are quick and easy to use; they remove the hair by the root, are fragrance-free and require no heating! There is none of that sticky residue left on my skin and they were extremely gentle, which is amazing for waxing. It easily removes unwanted hair and is very convenient. The packaging is hygienically sealed and the strips are designed for fine to medium hair.

Australis Night Lights Lip Gloss
This awesome lip gloss is a fab must have! It is easy to use and the light watermelon colour is great for parties and nights out. The applicator brush is very soft so the gloss just glides on. The coolest thing about the product is the magnifying mirror on the side of the gloss for those last minute touch-ups.

RRP: $14.95

Maxfactor Beyond Length Mascara
These multi-coloured mascara's are great! The two-step system works for long-lasting colourful eyelashes. The mascara comes in a range of colors. It was kinda effective but not enough to make me rush out and buy more.

Jennifer Lopez - Deseo perfume
This is delicious - what more can I say? This awesomely designed perfume smells great! The design of the bottle is really cool - like a big crystal! The smell is very fruity and fresh, which makes me feel like a goddess. It lasts for a long time and even better, it isn't too strong that it gives you a headache.

RRP: $79 50ml eau de parfum

Benefit Erase Paste
Love those Benefit babes - how cute and ingenious is this little pot! It's a concealer with camouflage perfection. Been up studying all night and have the tell tale dark circles, a little dab of erase paste and guess what? Black circles gone-ski! Dab a little on that pimple that has decided to rear its ugly head just as you are about to head out on your date with dream boy and all dream boy will see is your amazing eyes and flawless face.

Inglot- Liquid Eyeliner
This Inglot Liquid Liner is easy to use. It has a great application brush which allows you to draw thin or thick lines perfectly. The deep metallic purple colour of the liquid boasts individuality. The product stayed on for hours and was easy to remove at the end of the day. If I had to buy liquid eyeliner it would be this one.

Inglot - Lip gloss pencil
I can't stand it when I have an almost empty lip gloss, but am not able to get the remaining gloss out of the tube. Inglot have thought about this with their new lip gloss. It comes in a long squeezable tube so you get to use every last drop of gloss. It's not sticky so you can wear your hair down and not have it stick to your lips. It offers a beautiful shine with just a hint of colour.

RRP: $19.95

Inglot - Eye Shadow
This eyeshadow comes in a cute little container, perfect size to hold in your hand. The colour itself looked lilac with silver specks but as soon as I placed it on my skin it took on a completely different dimension. It was light with a beautiful iridescent quality, like a pearl. I did notice that I needed to reapply more frequently too keep that pearly shine but it's worth it. It's easy to apply and comes off with make-up remover. I love it because it can look quiet subtle and stunning at the same time. Perfect for daywear!

Emily Rating: 5/5
RRP: $24.95

Inglot- Pure Pigment Eye Shadow
A little bit really goes a long way so a jar will last you years. It is easy to glide on and smooth in the application. It does not fall into your eye crease and is streak resistant and has the best lasting power out of all the products. If you have never used pure pigment eye shadow I recommend it highly, it's so vibrant, versatile and looks absolutely fantastic.

Emily Rating 5/5
RRP: $24.95

Australis - Duet Palette
The Duet Palette contains 10 eyeshadows; six lip glosses and four lipsticks. It opens in two parts with a mirror for each compartment. Normally with palettes I find myself only using a few colours, however, these are so young and fresh. Australis includes a booklet that lists which shadows can be blended together, making it easier for you to create stunning looks. The palette is perfect for everyday or even that special occasion. It really is fool-proof.

Emily Rating: 4/5
RRP: $12.95

Australis - After Dark
I loved this range! It gives you all the colours you need to perfect that polished for a night out. The colours are sophisticated, which I loved. All the colours worked nicely together. Here's the After Dark Collection - Nail Polish (two different colours in dark rich red and a sheer cream shine); lipstick in a dusty rose that glides on and looks great; Lip Gloss for super shine; Lip Pencil; Quad Eyeshadow, to create sexy mysterious smoky eyes; Eye Pencil that is super smooth and easy to apply; Mascara that lengthens and doesn't clump; Blush, to add a warm glow

You don't need to have a beauty diploma to look professionally made up. That is why Australis After Dark is one I'd use again!
