Makeup Wipe Monday #11 Smart Skin Scented Cleansing Wipes

Hey

This Monday we are focusing on the Smart Skin Scented Cleansing Wipes which I think are solely available at Woolworths/ Safeway.  These wipes are reasonable cheap, they cost around $2 each and go on sale for $1 pretty often.



These used to be my favourite budget  friendly wipes before I found the Coles ones which I seem to talk about every week! They are cheap and you can tell this by the quality you get from the wipes. the wipe itself is pretty thin and not the most moist. It takes at least two wipes to take off all of your makeup. These wipes dry up pretty quickly so I suggest you keep these ones in a sandwich lock bag. There isn't much of a scent on these ones and all honesty I think the unscented ones smell worse.

Would I recommend this? Maybe. Will I repurchase? Most likely not.

Pale Girl Tans #3 Bondi Sands

Hey lovelies!



Bondi Sands is the latest Tan I have add to my collection. It is a well known Australian brand which I have heard so much hype about! It is only $20 at Priceline so it is super affordable and I really couldn't resist making an impulse buy. I got the Light/ Medium colour because I am still too scared to go dark, I am working my way up.

I used my Le Tan Tanning Mitt to apply the product, like with my J Bronze. The tan go on dark and is slightly lighter than the final colour. I prefer tans that go with colour because it makes the process of fake tanning easy for a beginner like me.  It just helps with not missing spots and having an even tan. The final colour is lighter than the J Bronze although it is a lovely natural colour which is made to be built upon. The label will give you guide for building on the colour, it can be left on longer or applying more tan an hour after the first application. The scent of the tan is a coconut scent and is not unpleasant at all, it is present though.

Will I repurchase this tan? Hell yeah it is a great product and I could easily see it becoming a staple in my beauty collection.

Shaving Cream Vs Body Moisturiser

This year I recently tried shaving cream for the first time ever. At 21 I had never tried shaving cream it wasn't until I moved out and started living with my friend Jess that I had tried it. Sorry Jess I may have used your shaving cream haha. It was tempting to try since it was sitting in my shower. Now on less of a rant. So since I was so new to what I am sure everyone uses I thought I would share my experience.

Shaving cream 
Pros
-it's easier to see where you have already shaved and where you still need to shave 
-It's more fun. Can you tell I am new too it? 
-comes in many scents 

Cons 
-Expensive 
-Can gets rusty

Moisturisers 
Pros 
-Cheap, very cheap 
-Skin feels amazing afterwards 
-Many varities 

Cons
-Not as easy to see where you have already shaved 
-If to get scented versions it can be expensive

Honestly I will continue to use moisturiser as I love the feeling afterwards and i think it leaves legs Feeling than they do with shaving cream. I think it is the best and it is so cheap and easy. I use the Redwin one sorbelene one but you can get home brand verso d for even cheaper. It cost a few dollars for a big litre with pump container. 

What do you use?

Makeup Wipe Monday #5

Hey all
This week's Makeup Wipe Monday is focusing  on the Savvy by DB makeup removing wipes with Vitamin E. I got these wipes in my Priceline beauty bag for free and they were ones that I wouldn't have rushed out to try myself. The wipes weren't bad at all. The wipes itself wasn't smooth and had the bumps on them that I like. The material however was pretty thin. It was an average wetness and I feel if it was open for too long it would dry out quicker than other brands. The price is pretty good though which is a bonus with it only being $4.99 and the brand on sale often. Would I repurchase these wipes not likely as I prefer other ones and I still have plenty more to try. Saying that they are not a bad wipe.

Makeup Wipe Monday #4

Oh Hai
Today's Makeup Wipe Monday is on the Coles 4 in 1 Cleansing Wipes. These are only $2.50 for 25 at Coles which is a steal and a price I am more than willing to pay on wipes. I bought these on impulsive during one of many shops at Coles, since I had already started this series I figured I would give them ago. I can now say that these are my favourite Cheap Makeup Wipes, by this I mean lower than $3.00 (or budget wipes if you will). I think they are great quality for the price and I have already repurchased them. They are a plain smooth wipe, very wet and reasonably thick. They do a pretty good job at taking off your makeup with just using the one wipe. Along with not having a noticeable fragrance the wipes don't irritate my skin or leave it red at all. So if you want some cheap makeup wipes that work well I would seriously recommend the Coles 4 in 1 Cleansing Wipes.
