Beautysnapz review
Hi ladies! How has your weekend been? Sorry for the lack of posts last week but if you follow me on Twitter (and if you don't perhaps you should!) you'll know I've been sick all week. Gosh I am such a weakling haha.
Unfortunately I've been very behind on product reviews lately so I'm trying to get through them slowly but surely. I have so many exciting products I want to share with you all! I was very kindly sent a selection of Hawley Beautysnapz to try out an embarrassingly long time ago and here is my review of them for you finally!
What they say:
"Beautysnapz are a clutch hit. Indispensable and clever beauty fixers, Beautysnapz go anywhere you go to tackle every job and solve all beauty emergencies.. Fuss free, carry on safe, compact, convenient and always ready without the need to refill containers or waste product."
Now these may look like normal cotton tips but boy they do so much more! Beautysnapz are cotton tip applicators filled with liquid and there are 7 products in the range which include:
Eye Makeup Remover & Corrector,
Waterproof Mascara Remover & Corrector,
Overnight Lip Revitalizer,
Instant Lipstick Remover/Corrector,
Cuticle Conditioner,
Eyeliner Sealer and
Wet Tips.
Each pack comes with 24 applicators and the applicators are filled with a pre-measured dose of advanced formula for a handy one time disposable use. They come packaged in a clear plastic container which is small enough to pop into your makeup bag or evening clutch.
They are EXTREMELY handy and are very easy to use! To use, all you have to do is hold the applicator with the coloured band upright and bend the tip to the side until it snaps. The liquid will then flow to the opposite end and fill the tip and then you're ready to apply!
For the purposes of this review, I thought I'd tell you about my two favourites and most used from the range which are the Eye makeup remover & corrector and Cuticle conditioner.
I have quite oily lids and my eye makeup ALWAYS seems to smudge and end up on my lower lash line. Without fail X( I used to carry cotton tips for cleanup using water but the Eye makeup remover & correctors are a lifesaver! They contain Aloe Vera and Vitamin E and remove the unwanted makeup from my lash line easily and quickly. They leave my eye area feeling smooth and are fine for my sensitive skin.
The cuticle conditioners are fantastic for on the go as well. I use these usually on the way home from a hard days work (HA!) for a quick moisture boost for my cuticles. They contain Aloe Vera and the oil is surprisingly quick absorbing and leave no greasy feel like creams and other cuticle oils can. I love using cuticle oils but the greasy feeling it leaves makes using it on the go difficult so these are very welcome in my collection. EDIT: 1 applicator is just enough for all 10 of my fingers. For those with smaller nail beds there is more than enough oil!
Overall: I think these are fantastic for on the go and are a staple in my makeup bag. Beautysnapz are so convenient - they fit nicely in my makeup bag or even a small evening bag which means I don't have to lug around a bottle of cuticle oil/cream or clean up my eye makeup dodgily. You can use these everyday or only occasionally which is the beauty of one time use products.
Would I repurchase: Definitely! I just repurchased the Cuticle Conditioner ones for myself and the Overnight Lip Revitalizer for my sister. She hijacked a few when I received the samples you see!
Details: Beautysnapz are $5.99 each and are available from Big W stores across Australia.
A huge thank you to Wendy for sending me the above products to sample! I was sent the above products for my consideration but this in no way influenced my review in any way. As always, my reviews are my 100% honest opinion.
Thanks for looking ladies!

New domain name and post-test hauls!
Hey guys!
Just wanted to let you know that I have a new domain name given to me as an early birthday present from my thoughtful bf =D You can still access me via the usual blogspot url but it's now much easier! www.cosmeticcupcake.com
I decided to do some celebratory retail therapy at lunch today after a brain draining 4 days at uni. My subject was an "intensive" unit which meant the subject was condensed into 4days instead of spread out over 13weeks and it sure meant intensive - I had 11hrs of classes yesterday! I headed over to Broadway at after my test for some rather well deserved lunch and a bit of shopping.
I picked up a pair of adorable japanese kimmi-ish doll tweezers from a little stand that sold all sorts of adorable stuff like cupcake lipbalms, pjs, coin purses etc. These also came in black, green, blue and pink but the yellow was most striking. I have yet to try them out but even if they're crap at least it's cute!
L - front of tweezers. R - back of tweezers. Please excuse my unmanicured hands =(
I have far too many pairs of earrings but I can't resist cute studs and I just HAD to have these that I found at Diva:
Cupcakes!! Lollipops!! Sweets!! "These are a few of my favourite things...". I 1st began wearing cute/interesting studs when I used to work on the wards as it was the only way to jazz up a boring nursing uniform! Now I work in an outpatient unit I don't need to wear a uniform but because it's still a health environment I think cute studs are the way to go=p
I wanted to mention that Sportsgirl (the one at Broadway anyway) is having a big sale on most makeup items. I saw the bronzers, brushes, pencil and liquid eyeliners, eyeshadows and all night fighter all reduced by about 40%. Get in while it lasts!
As I've mentioned before I love all types of sweets and today I picked up Junior caramels and Junior mints, a steal at $2 from Go-Lo!! I prefer Junior mints but chocolate is chocolate *greedy grin*
Oops I left the price tag on!
I picked up some skincare stuff the other day at Chemist Warehouse which I will do a review for some time soon. I'm a Clinique 3-step girl at heart however due to different reasons (mainly financial) I'm phasing out my 3-step routine and trying some drugstore brands. To start off with I'm running out of Clinique Superdefence and also Super city block and I currently don't feel like paying $90Aus for it! I normally buy my skincare products from Hongkong so it is considerably cheaper however I'm sure drugstore brands will do the exact same job.
From L-R: Nivea Visage Young Be beautiful tinted moisturiser, Neutrogena Ultra Sheer sunscreen and Cetaphil Oily skin cleanser
I picked up Nivea Visage Young Be beautiful tinted moisturiser, Neutrogena Ultra Sheer sunscreen and Cetaphil Oily skin cleanser. Reviews shortly!
Annnnnnnnd my bf also gave me a Kimmi junior pen as a early birthday gift which is just too adorable for words! I actually used to have hair exactly like this when I was 4!
I hope everyone has a great weekend planned!
