Nude by Nature Mineral Powder

An affordable mineral powder that comes in two colours. I have tried the light colour as I am fair however I find it makes me look very pale. Coverage is medium. One thing I don't like is that the powder is very fine and tends to float in the air making it easy to inhale which is not good. Samples available through the website.
Price is around $40.

 Livinia Mineral Powder

I am currently in love with this powder. It provides a beautiful natural colour, good coverage and the particles seem heavier or larger so they don't float in the air. Samples available through the website.
Price ranges from $40 - $60 depending on size.

Livinia Creme Foundation

This award winning foundation is thick and luscious with good coverage. It has a natural colour and is best applied with a sponge. I found the triangle sponges worked best. It is quite pricey and seems to get used up quite quickly. Samples are available through the website.
Price ranges from $25 - $60 depending on size.

Lavera Natural Liquid Foundation


Lavera is one of the biggest natural cosmetic brands in Europe. Their liquid foundation isn't bad but doesn't wear that well over a long day. I found it to be a bit too dry for my skin type. It should only be applied with a sponge as it will not be even if applied with fingertips.
Price around $40.

Kora Tinted Day Cream

I was quite excited when I heard that the beautiful Miranda Kerr had launched an organics line and so rushed to the shops only to find that it had all sold out! Luckily the sales assistant realised how disappointed I was and conducted a search of the shop for one and VOILA here it is! This product is lovely - creamy, smooth and easy to apply. I like to wear it as a base, but it could also be worn on its own however coverage is low. The only issue I have with this cream is that it only comes in one colour which is supposed to match to all skin types. If you are pale like me, be sure to blend well!

Price around $60.

Physicians Formula Organic Wear Powder, Blush and Tinted Moisturiser

An affordable option that has a fairly good ingredients listing. I found these products to be quite good. The tinted moisturiser has low coverage but worked well with powder on top.
Prices range from $20 - $30.

Physicians Formula Organic Wear Mascara

Gorgeous packaging and finally a mascara with no nasty ingredients! Unfortunately I found this mascara to be dry, flaky and smudgy. I would only recommend it to people who wear a very small amount of mascara on their lashes. If you are like me and pile it on, then it is not for you sister!
Price around $20.

Nude by Nature Mineral Eyeliner (Waterproof)



 Well I have no idea how they can call this waterproof as it rubs straight off! Wore it once and then chucked it in the cupboard annoyed that I wasted my money.
Price around $15.
