Review: Australis Extender Lash & Brow Clear Mascara


Just a quick and easy review today. I love my eyebrows, they require waxing about twice a year and have a nice natural shape but they get quite unruly. I have one tiny section that pokes downwards and makes it looks like I shaved off half my eyebrow.

Enter the Australis Extender Lash and Brow Masacara! At $19.95ZND it's s steal too. You simply apply it like a mascara, but to your brows. I use small strokes upwards to make sure my brows are fully covered, and then push them back down into shape with the wand.

It doesn't leave any obvious signs either - no weird clumping, smells, or gelled looking brows. My only issue with it does lie with the wand - it's a great, thick wand but it's quite long and difficult to use so close to your eyes. If you have smaller brows than mine, I can imagine it being a pain in the ass to use.

Overall, I am super pleased with this product. It's cheap and does the job. The clear packaging is handy to see how much you have left and the product itself is inoffensive. Also - Australis doesn't test on animals!

I highly recommend this if you're after a quick drying clear brow gel (or for your eyelashes, but I can't comment on it's usability for that) for every day use. While I'm new to the whole brow game, I know that this is a great product that I'll be using more often. It's nice knowing that when I wake up, my eyebrows will actually look like eyebrows and not like random hairs glued above my eyes, yay!

PS. Happy halloween! I wish I had a super cool halloween post set up but with exams/life, it's been too busy!

Beauty Bargain: e.l.f. Lip Lock Pencil



The number of times I've heard people wish for an invisible lip liner, and yet here it is! I am far too lazy to buy lip liners in every single colour so I've actually been going without for quite awhile. This was all fine and dandy until I got my lip tars so I went on the hunt for a quick fix.

Enter the e.l.f. Lip Lock Pencil. It is literally a clear liner which you apply around your lips to prevent bleeding from lipsticks. And it works! It creates an invisible barrier that the lipstick can't go past, meaning your lipstick (or gloss/tar/balm) stays perfect all day.


So as you can see, it's like a wax pencil. It does dull down quite quickly but I haven't had to sharpen it yet because it applies invisibly so you know, a think line doesn't really matter. 

I love the ease of it - you only need one application to make your lippie last all day. It's so convenient and so easy. It's also super cheap - I bought this online for $9.90NZD, and considering it replaces all lip liners, it's a small price to pay. I'm super impressed with how quality this is, especially considering my paste experiences with e.l.f. products Risk paid off, awh yeah. 

I highly recommend this - cheap, efficient, replaces the twenty different lip pencils you have for under $10. What's not to love?
