We consider it important to look after your skin, from cleansing to your makeup. This is why we’ve found a selection of great options that leave you with a flawless finish without undoing all your hard work. From compacts, liquids and loose powder to mascara, we’ve made sure you can feel confident from the base layer up. This week’s makeup review will give you an idea of what we’ve used and loved ourselves.
Mineral makeup offers benefits for those seeking a natural and skin-friendly approach to cosmetics. First and foremost, it’s gentle on the skin, making it an excellent choice for individuals with sensitive or acne-prone skin. Mineral makeup is typically free from harsh chemicals, preservatives, and fragrances, reducing the risk of irritation.
It provides buildable coverage that seamlessly conceals imperfections without the heavy, cakey feeling often associated with traditional makeup. Plus, minerals like zinc oxide and titanium dioxide provide a natural sunblock, offering added protection from harmful UV rays. With its breathable and long-lasting formula, mineral makeup allows your skin to breathe and look fresh throughout the day.
So, whether you’re looking for a natural look or a reliable option for problematic skin, our makeup choices will enhance your beauty while nurturing your skin.

Meg’s Makeup Review 
“Skinbetter Science Tone Smart is a game-changer in the world of skincare. This innovative product effortlessly combines science and luxury, leaving your skin looking and feeling better than ever. Its unique formula not only addresses uneven skin tone but also acts as a primer – perfect for under makeup – it also looks just as good on its own!
The results are truly impressive, as it minimises discoloration and leaves your complexion radiant and youthful. Also a sun protector, Tone Smart offers 50+ UVA and UVB protection.
I love this for a no-makeup look that blends well and adjusts to your own skin colour. This means that it suits everyone – light skin tones as well as dark. It is often really hard to choose the perfect shade over the internet, but with this compact you don’t have to worry. It simply changes to suit your own skin tone. It’s so good!”

Julie’s Makeup Review 
“I’ve always been jealous of people who wear a foundation well, I have never been able to pull it off. I feel like I look odd, akin to a cake with thick coffee icing, laid out on a picnic table, sitting in the sun too long, developing cracks and discoloration. So to avoid that cake-like appearance I have always used something with just a touch of pigment, like CC Creams or tinted moisturisers. And I love to cocktail products to get the exact consistency and colour, it takes a bit of experimenting (just like getting that perfect icing) and occasionally I’ll switch it up and throw in something else to try it out, but I seem to always go back to a cocktail of the Aspect Sun CC Cream and the Jane Iredale Dream Tint. This gives me the slight gloss that I like, and the perfect hint of colour for a very light, barely there coverage. Often, if I’m feeling a little on the dry side, I’ll throw in extra SPF and moisture with Skinceuticals Ultra Facial Defense
I am the same with concealers, I don’t like anything too heavy, even though I am a proud member of the Raccoon family, who definitely should be going for something way more concealing. The Medik8 Illuminating Eye Balm is actually an eye cream but it has that slight touch of pigment, so it is perfect, and even if I’m working from home all day and possibly won’t see another sole, at least I won’t scare anyone who knocks on my door unexpectedly, oh HELLO, spooky!!, literally just happened, without a word of a lie….nup, he wasn’t scared, I have my Illuminating Eye Balm on.
On a side note I have to say a big thank you to FYNE, my lashes and brows were becoming sparse and light until I started using their Lash Serum (for brows too) but now so much darker, and thicker too. andI love their mascara too!”

Pip’s Makeup Review 
“I swapped out my normal Jane Iredale Liquid Minerals for their Amazing Base Brush foundation when I left to travel this year. Knowing I was leaving a very cold and dry TAS for the heat of NT and QLD, I decided I’d be sensible and come prepared. Rather than continue using a liquid foundation, I decided I wanted something light and easy to apply with added SPF. It’s water resistant for 40 minutes, and has a SPF 20 rating. So it’s lived in my handbag and I can reapply in the car without any dramas. It’s been so much easier than a liquid foundation while I’ve been travelling, and while it obviously feels different, I’m 100% happy with the change!”

Sophie’s Makeup Review 
“As someone who’s always on the hunt for fabulous lashes, I just had to share my experience with the FYNE Eyelash Enhancing Mascara. This little beauty has become my go-to for achieving those stunning, fluttery lashes that make my eyes pop!
First things first, I love that this mascara is designed to work hand in hand with the FYNE Eyelash Enhancing Serum. It’s like a power duo for lash perfection! The advanced formula they’ve created is seriously impressive – it’s all-natural, which is a huge plus for me, and it’s waterproof too. That means my lashes stay on point all day, through rain, sweat, and whatever life throws my way!
Now let’s talk about the results – they’re incredible! This Mascara truly lives up to its promises. My lashes look noticeably longer, darker, and more voluminous with just a few coats. It’s like I’m wearing falsies, but they’re 100% real, baby!
But here’s the best part – it doesn’t just make my lashes look amazing; it actually nourishes and hydrates them too. I’ve noticed that my lashes feel softer and healthier since I started using this mascara. No more dry, brittle lashes for me – it’s like a mini spa treatment every time I apply it!
And let’s not forget the fact that it’s waterproof! As someone who loves the beach and outdoor activities, this mascara is a game-changer. I can enjoy my day without worrying about raccoon eyes or smudging – it stays put through it all!
One of the things that really makes me happy about this mascara is that it’s made with all-natural ingredients and is cruelty-free. Knowing that I’m using a product that’s safe and not tested on animals gives me peace of mind.
In a nutshell, this Mascara is a total winner for me. It adds length, volume, and darkness to my lashes, all while nourishing and hydrating them. Plus, it’s waterproof and made with love for both animals and the environment. If you want stunning, long-lasting lashes that make you feel like a total boss, give this mascara a try – you won’t be disappointed!”
