Australis Eye Pencil
I'm not usually a fan of eyebrow pencils, but this smoke pencil from Australis had me at WOW! The smooth and creamy texture of the eye pencil made it so easy to apply. During the whole day there was never a single smudge in sight. This is a fantastic product and I will definitely be heading down to my local Priceline to re-purchase.

RRP: $8.95
Rachel: 4.5/5

Batiste Blush Dry Shampoo
This dry shampoo is a great idea for girls on the go. Use between washes to keep hair fresh and clean feeling. It's fast and easy to apply, although it's definitely designed for blondes - my brown roots turned white! It brushes through the hair easily for even application. It definately does what it says it does, although it kind of smells like toilet cleaner!

RRP: $8.95
Elise: 3/5

Australis Lip Gloss
This Juliet lip gloss is perfect for almost any occasion. The sponge-tip wand allows for easy and precise application. This pretty shade of Coral had just the right amount of sparkle and the glossiness was amazing. At such a great price why not pick up one of every shade.

RRP: $8.95
Rachel: 4/5

Miki Lip Sorbet Lip Balm
This deliciously scented watermelon lip balm comes in TDF packaging. However the cotton-candy smell and cute, girly packaging is the only positives I found with this balm. It provided no moisture at all for my pout and even left a waxy residue after the first application had worn off. Would not purchase again, although I do love the scent.

RRP: $4.90
Rachel: 3/5

Miki Eye Shadow
This eye shadow is great because all the colours blend really nicely. The colours come out much lighter on the skin then what they look like in the compact. It stays on the skin well, but does fade a little. I had no problem with powder falling into the crease of my eye. Most of all, I love the natural colours. It leaves a gorgeous, natural look suitable for everyday use, and any occasion.

RRP: $6.90
Elise: 5/5

Bush Essentials Massage Oil
I loved this, and so did my boyfriend! It smells so good with Macadamia, Jojoba, Patchouli, Lemon Myrtle, Lime and Bergamot. It is a great massage oil because it isn't overly greasy and absorbs into the skin without leaving the gross oil-slick most massage oils do. Another bonus is that it's Australian made!

RRP: $30
Elise: 5/5

Australis Nail Colour
Reasonably priced and well packaged, this summer lovin nail polish promises only one coat of this high shine streak-free formula is needed. No matter how gorgeous the shade looked in the bottle, I could not get it to show up, even after two coats! I found this nail polish to also be prone to chipping. Not worth the trouble in my opinion.

RRP: $7.95
Rachel: 1/5

M.A.C Eye shadow - Warming Trend
M.A.C are renowned for their eye makeup, and this warming trend eye shadow was certainly not a let down. This stunning shimmering golden shade is easy to apply, has lasting power and is simply gorgeous! Although the shade did not show up on my skintone as I would have liked it to, it still was a fantastic eye shadow.

RRP: $32
Rachel: 4.5/5

M.A.C Slimshine Lipstick
Super moisturizing, easy to apply and a perfect shade that lasts, what more could you ask for in a lipstick? This By Degrees M.A.C slim shine provided the perfect amount of moisture for my lips and did not accentuate any lip creases or lines.

RRP: $35
Rachel: 5/5

M.A.C Eye Shadow - Cool Heat
The colour doesn't come out as vibrant as it looks in the pot, which I was a bit dissapointed about. It comes out like a more nature green. It stays on for a long time and doesn't fall into the crease of the eye.

RRP: $32
Elise: 2/5
