EVE PEARL Priming Moisturizer Treatment
Genie Instant Line Smoother
PUR No Filter Blurring Photography Primer in Rose Gold Glow
Mally Face Defender
Doll 10 Skin Perfecting Treatment Powder with Brush
EVE PEARL Priming Moisturizer Treatment. This is a light cream primer that is also a moisturiser. It helps your makeup apply smoother and last longer. The primer can even be used on its own as a moisturiser. Great for dry skin.
Genie Instant Line Smoother. A really innovative product that, when applied correctly, gives you an almost instant face lift. I've used this in different ways, for an eye lift, on the neck, around the jaw and also as a lip primer. It really does smooth away those fine lines.
PUR No Filter Blurring Photography Primer in Rose Gold Glow. This gives you a beautiful blurred effect and a perfectly highlighted look. It is very pretty on the skin. It keeps your makeup on for a decent time but might be too much for oilier complexions. I have also applied this on top of makeup as a cream highlighter and the effect is very pretty.
Mally Face Defender. This is the OG. Since this innovative product was released, many brands have tried to copy it with no success. It looks like clear wax but works like a powder balm. You can use it as a primer for a smoothing look, minimising the look of pores. It is great for oil control as well. I also use it on top of makeup to reset and refresh. As it is colourless, your makeup will look perfect.
Doll 10 Skin Perfecting Treatment Powder with Brush. This is such a finely milled powder. You use it as a primer, yes it is a powder primer, It also has skincare benefits and helps with blemishes. You can use it to set your makeup. The brush is comes with is so soft and fluffy.

Nourish Kale Enzymatic Exfoliator
Skinn Non-Negotiables DermAppeal Microdermabrasion Treatment
Gatineau Anti-Ageing Gommage
Dr Nassif Detox Pads
Genie Exfoliate 3 and Nourish Kale Enzymatic Exfoliator
Genie Exfoliate 3. This is a cool self warming exfoliator that is meant to mimic microdermabrasion. My skin feels super smooth after using this! it smells like pineapples which is amazing. It uses Japanese Pearl Powder for physical exfoliation and Broemalin (pineapple) extract for chemical exfoliation.
Nourish Kale Enzymatic Exfoliator. This is a good multitasker as it is a cleanser, exfoliator and face mask in one. To use it as a face mask simply leave it on for 2-3 minutes before rinsing off. It uses pomegranate enzymes to gently exfoliate and organic kale extract helps to increase suppleness.
Skinn Non-Negotiables DermAppeal Microdermabrasion Treatment. This uses very fine fine mineral crystals from the Dead Sea. It is rich in five different stabilised forms of Vitamin C crystals, as well as Kakadu Plum (which has the highest concentration of Vitamin C in any plant).
Gatineau Anti-Ageing Gommage. This has a very interest texture, It applies like cream balm and you keep massaging it till it starts to pill. Then you rinse it off with warm water. A very gentle exfoliator.
Dr Nassif Detox Pads (60 Pads). I really like the size of these detox pads. They are about twice the size of your normal cotton pads. They really deep clean and exfoliate your skin. This is an old favourite of mine, this is a treatment you use 1-2 times a week.
Doll 10 Lip Smoothie Lipstick; Mally Evercolour Shadow Stick Extra and Eve Pearl Liquid Lipstick
Doll 10 Lip Smoothie Lipstick. A lovely lipstick that has lip-quenching nutrients, vitamins, and 10 nourishing ingredients. It lasts for a fair period. It is creamy and smooth.
Mally Evercolour Shadow Stick Extra. I love eyeshadow sticks! They make makeup so fast and easy. The Mally ones are quite good and once they set, they are budge proof. There are 24 shades to choose from.
Eve Pearl Liquid Lipstick. This has Aloe, Coconut Oil, vitamin E and natural grapefruit extract. It feels beautiful on the lips and is very nourishing. It is almost like a lip gloss as it has a bit of shine to it.
PUR Big Look Mascara. "Made with Argan Oil - a revolutionary ingredient, loaded with lash-loving omega fatty acids, vitamin E and antioxidants - Purs waterproof mascara with argan oil evenly coats each lash in beautiful, budge-proof colour. Go big with our exclusive, clump-resistant wand, ensuring a smooth, no-mess application-even in tough inner corners!

This is a good nourishing waterproof mascara.
Genie Million Dollar Lash Mascara. This has a triple blend of botanical waxes that helps to nourish your lashes. I like the curve of the lash wand which makes it very easy to apply and lift lashes.

Doll 10 T.C.E Super Coverage Foundation with brush. This is a great foundation if you have skincare issues like cracks/blemishes.

Mally Complexion Perfection Foundation. This is light weight foundation that is buildable. It sits quite well on the skin.
PUR 4 in 1 Pressed Mineral Foundation. This is the perfect foundation for busy people. This 4-in-1 Mineral powder is your foundation, concealer, finishing powder and SPF all in one. This also has skincare benefits with a Ceretin Complex, powered by a non-irritating blend of Encapsulated Retinol, Lactic Acid, Shea Butter, and Ceramides which help gently promote cell turnover while helping to diminish the look of fine lines, and wrinkles. It also helps with uneven skin tone.
This foundation is also buildable from medium to full coverage. For those with dry skin, a hydrating primer would work well with this foundation.
Skinn Scientific Colour Foundation and Concealer. I love this foundation and concealer combo. The coverage is amazing and it feels so good on the skin. I use it most when I have dry patches as it has a serum in it. It has three forms of Hyaluronic Acid to help the skin stay hydrated.
