To contribute to NZ's beauty forum.

Please follow our Forum Guidelines and help keep the Beauty Review community a beautiful thing to be a part of.

Before you post to the forum have a read of these guidelines.  If you're not sure if you should/can post something, check here first.

  1. Be kind <3 Personal attacks, rudeness or bullying towards other members or indeed The Beauty Crew will not be tolerated and will result in the suspension of membership.
  2. Remember that whatever you post on the forum is public - so only share information you're happy for anyone and everyone to know. We strongly recommend you do not post contact details or any personal information such as where you live.
  3. Please respect the anonymity of members - even if you know a person in real life, or through another online community, respect their privacy and do not pass on contact details to other members.
  4. The BR Forum is primarily a beauty forum, and we'd like the majority of topics to be beauty related. However we're also a community and appreciate Non-Beauty Related topics will come up. Please put NBR in the title of any such threads.
  5. Keep it clean - we don't want to have to send you some soap to wash your mouth out! Please be aware that minor expletives for some, can be offensive to others.
  6. We all love a good home remedy but please do a test patch first.
  7. Beauty Review does not recommend the use of any unlicensed supplements or products and will remove links to such products.
  8. The forum is a great place for support and sharing experiences but when it comes to medical advice nothing can substitute that of a qualified professional.
  9. We love hearing about your experiences of beauty services, such as salons or retailers. Honest and critical accounts will make New Zealand's beauty industry a better place - but please don't just slander a business.
  10. No one likes a spammer!  We are occasionally spammed (fake replica watch anyone?!) but our mods do their best to remove it quickly.
  11. Please don't use the forum as advertising space; if you've got a product you think our members need to trial send us an email.
  12. Please don't post links to your own giveaways - this counts as free advertising!
  13. Please don't post affiliated links - this counts as personal gain.
  14. Beauty Review only sources its product from authourised NZ Distributors and would ask that links to websites for non authourised distributors or importers sales are not posted. Such posts and threads will be removed.
  15. We want the forum to be a supportive space, but please don't request Facebook page likes, competition votes, survey responses etc. If it's charity related, maybe drop us an email, tell us what you want to post and we'll get back to you.
  16. Please link in the correct manner - long/untidy links make the forum look untidy and harder to navigate.
  17. If you have any concerns about a post/thread on the forum please send the BR team an email at beautycrew@beautyreview.co.nz . We're generally pretty fast at getting back to you (seriously!)


Happy Chatting xox

I am not sure why Tarte sent me a 20% off code. I had been looking at the Rainforest of the Sea III palette on their site, and put it into a cart, but didn't go through with the sale because the shipping was so expensive. I had not ordered from them before, or properly registered on their site, just signed up for  email notifications.Suddenly they sent me a code for 20% off which coincided with the free shipping weekend.

Love love love reading the insights from everyone. I have used Benzac for a while which is effective but really does dry out your skin. Tea tree oil is very effective (although can be quite harsh on sensitive skin). Agree wholeheartedly that Skinfood mud masque is fabulous. 

I was told the other day that pimples around the chin are a sign of an unhappy tummy, often from eating junk food. Pimples around the jaw line are apparently a sign of hormonal imbalance. I'm not sure if that is pure science, but it certainly makes sense for me!

I don't drink coffee anymore. But that is good to know. I think the injection and folic acid is helping as today I did not get my usual 3pm slump. So that is promising:-)

Suzie - so fascinating to hear that coffee hinders iron absorption! Considering I will drink coffee for (temporary) energy, maybe I should actually avoid caffeine all together as I am extremely low in iron. Maybe 2018 is the year I start looking after myself more....!

Another fun iron fact for you Nat: caffeine hinders iron absorption. So if you're going to have a drink with meals, orange juice is preferable to tea or coffee.

I suggest that you consider adding a slim shake or such like as an afternoon snack or blend in with fruit for a morning smoothie. I find it a bit easier to take than a multi vitamin as I don't like tablets and the vitamn/mineral list on these things is huge.

Tarte cosmetics are doing free shipping on their site for 24 hours. If you are on their email list, they also seem to be sending out 20% off discount codes. I just used it to get a Rainforest of the Sea palette. I saved about $40 altogether with the free shipping!

Floradix tastes like blood.  Its so wrong, haha, I used to have to chug it when I was pregnant! They do Floradix capsules that are much easier! 

I recently had an iron infusion and the blood doctor (?) recommended taking Vit C alongside my new iron supplement to aid with absorption.  I'm trying the Thompson's organic iron at the mo - very gentle on the tummy.

17 candles that's impressive!! I burn mine at every chance I get. Ever since BR introduced me to Purple Orchid Soy Candles 2 years ago that's all I buy. If they had a store in Auckland I'd be stocking up for sure.

Ohhhh yes Tanny_Girl I'm definitely not short of makeup brush holders thanks to Purple Orchid. They're so flipping easy to clean I actually look forward to it haha!

I'm on the alphabet project pan this year so I have quite a range of products to get through - my biggest challenge will be the duo compacts.

   I have quite a few decorative candles and a couple that are waiting to be used as decorations. I used to be candle crazy till I discovered Scentsy then I collected Scentsy bars. I use the candles occasionally when I have baths but haven't really used them much for scent. I do have a stash of Scentsy bars but I only buy more when I run out and you gotta have several options there. 
    You know that if you use the same scent all the time after awhile a few days your nose gets adjusted and you don't smell it as much so, you need a few different scented melt options or candles to be able to enjoy them all fully. But honestly anything that gives off a gorgeous fragrance and burns or melts is very easy to burn through (pun intended). Plus if the candle company has their candles in gorgeous jars, the jars for organizing your makeup brushes and makeup or if the candle jar has a lid then perhaps in the kitchen for storing tea or coffee supplies. 
    I am trying to pan off some of my eyeshadows, foundations, primers and my loose powder. Also want to use up some of my perfumes and skincare.

Just a TMI warning about iron supplements - they can make you constipated so doctors won't usually advise you to take them unless you have a confirmed iron deficiency. I do take a B supplement that I get from my osteopath. I really noticed the difference recently when I ran out and just took any old multivitamin I could find.

Yes I am anemic. They gave me some meds also. I agree! 3 dr's visits in 2 weeks. I hate it so much.

Are you anaemic as well? It would be good if we could pop into the chemist for a quick and immediate blood test whenever we wanted so we could check those things ourselves eh? going to the Dr stresses me out ...

I got it at 4pm today Maree I'm not sure really. I think I will be able to tell tomorrow as I have been having naps as I am so exhausted so will see if I need a nap. Fingers crossed.

I take B12 because I don't eat red meat but I'm pretty random with it. Do you feel heaps better already?
