Berrisom - Oops - My Lip Tint Pack - Pure Pink

I got this from Memebox (before they stopped shipping to Australian customers) and thought it was a fun idea.

A peel off lip tint, how fun!

But there were two issues to this novel lip stain:

1) If it gets on your teeth, it will stain your teeth as well.

2) Want to know how I got these marks?


It irritated the sides of my lips, making them red and dry. It took a while for my lips to recover after this.

So I can't recommend this, as I found it to be irritating and bad for the health of my lips.

'I want lasting colour on my lips' Solution:


Universal Beauty Lip Tint works really well and is non-irritating.

Price: 4/5 ($8.36 for 15g)
Scent: 0/5 (like off vanilla yoghurt and plastic)
Effectiveness: 1/5

Benefit - They're Real Mascara
This mascara is a favourite among beauty bloggers and I REALLY wanted to love this.... but WTF!!??!

Welcome to Clumpsville! Population: Rapidly approaching unity!

This mess of a 'formula' is so damn STICKY! It just stuck all my lashes together and then wouldn't let me comb them apart! 
(If the brush did anything, those tiny bristles only served to slather a layer of disappointment on my eyes)
I literally had to wash my left eye on the train this morning to re-do my spider eye! And as I washed it, I created THE UNILASH! 

No one should ever have a unilash from a mascara!

This goopy formula goes on way too thick and the minute you blink? Bam! You're a panda!

I will say it can look okay if you work at it and treat it really carefully, but I shouldn't have to work so hard for something to just be 'okay'.... this formula is just too unreliable!

This made me look younger, like a teenager... as in I didn't know how to put on mascara without ending up with just 6 big lashes on each eye!
This may be workable if you have very short lashes, but anyone else, save your money!

Also, it STANK and made my eyes sting... seriously?

Benefit, I am disappoint! Throwing this right in the trash.

The solution:
No one needs clumpy lashes...

Price: 4/5 (rrp $24.00)
Scent: 0/5 (chemical plant)
Effectiveness: 0/5

Zk'in - Certified Organic - Line Smoothing Serum

I wanted to like this... but the smell... THE SMELL!

It's like cinnamon and rubbing alcohol had an ugly baby... it brings tears to my eyes, and not from joy!

Was my packet fermented? Let me know if you have tried this!
But don't buy it to find out, it may actually mean to be like that!

Price: 1.5/5 (rrp $59.95 for 25mL)
Scent: 0/5 oh god, why?!)
Effectiveness: 1/5 (did pretty poorly as a line smoother)
