St Ives Fresh Skin Invigorating Scrub Review

I fell in love with this a few years ago and use it 3-4 times a week (every day is too harsh). I have oily/combination skin which is prone to blackheads and acne, and this helps keep them at bay. It smells amazing and my face actually FEELS clean after using it. I can’t complain about the price either ($9.99), so impressed.

I wouldn’t recommend using this if you have sensitive or dry skin as it can be quite harsh, the Green Tea scrub would be a perfect alternative. This is perfect for people with normal, oily or combination skin.

Rimmel London Match Perfection Foundation Review

"A match so perfect it’s undetectable in any light! Light Perfecting Radiance foundation, traceless coverage and perfectly flawless skin under any light. Lasts all day SPF 18."

Well, it isn’t called ‘match perfection’ for nothing. This is the only foundation I’ve been able to find that matches my skin tone perfectly (I used ‘Ivory’). With 12 shades to select from, you’re bound to find your perfect colour, without breaking the bank (AU$17.95).

However, I was a little disappointed when it came coverage and its longevity. This foundation only offers a light to medium coverage and after 2 hours of wear, my face became oily. I was able to fix it with some powder so, unless you have dry skin, you’re probably better off teaming a powder with this one.

• Match: Perfect 5/5


• Coverage: Light-Med 3.5/5


• Price: AU$17.95 4.5/5


• Wear: Average 3.5/5 

Overall: 4.1/5
