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

Weird addition to this as it isn't actually a mascara - BUT ... I just get my lashes tinted every 5 to 6 weeks. Means I don't need to worry about mascara on my bottom lashes at all but they still look defined and nice :)

Got some eye cream to try.

I saw a FB comment about it, clearly someone who knows what ingredients mean had given it thumbs down.

I got my first BDB pencil from one of the original beauty review boxes. I liked it but thought I'd never spend that much on an eyebrow pencil. But I keep coming back to and the price doesn't seem so bad now. I think it might have come down in price since Mecca started stocking it.

Thanks guys! I might go around checking the price range and get myself one this weekend. I saw the Billion Dollar Brows in passing at Mecca and was piqued. It was my first time seeing it last month. I've tried the Elf and NYX ones and they were okay but thinking of trying something new.

I was initially eyeing the one from Benefit but I felt like it was a bit too pricey, or I might find a better one with the same or lower price. I do have a tinted brow gel and I love it to bits but it's not a brand I can get here so I'm trying to preserve it as long as I can.

I used to have the transparent brow gel from Elf many years go but it would somehow solidify (?) and leave white streaks on my brows so I stopped using them. Not sure if they're still selling those though.

On a similar note, my husband told me one day that there was an M-A-C shop near our place. It was kinda funny.

also kmart eye masks. I bought a couple to try as they're only $3 for two SETS. Usually I get them in places like Sephora ($5/6 a set) or Mecca ($8 a set) - and these kmart ones are pretty good, actually!

I use a Clinique mascara that is specially designed for the lower lashes. It has a little delicate wand, which is just right for the spider legs of mine that double as bottom lashes.

This link is for the USA clinique site but I'm sure its still available here:

https://www.clinique.com/product/1606/15586/makeup/mascara/bottom-lash-mascara



EDIT: Okay, just checked, discontinued in NZ, but not in the USA (and I get mine from the USA.... sorry!)

@Artemis: That's a valid point I had not thought about it like that. I bought an Essence Mascara recently and it's not listed, slightly ironic given the amount that has been listed. Oh well, maybe it will get added sometime. 

I agree @MareeB and @Macs. I think it would be awesome to have the box products added individually and the box as a whole. I know I would be interested to read those reviews.

(assuming that bottom eyelash mascara comes with small brushes), why dont you just clean the old brushes and use them in the mascara you use on the rest of your eyes? obviously you like those formulas enough to use them on your top lashes so... why not the bottom

i guess i just dont understand why they make mascaras specifically for lower lashes. it's just so stupid. more money for the big buck companies! perhaps im finally showing my spirit age and just dont understand these things.

Morning :)

To answer your question...

We've some exciting stuff coming up! And as part of our commitment to being NZ's biggest beauty guide and making BR better for you we've been holding a site audit, and a big part of that is prioritising the data integrity of the site, which means we're aiming to ensure the products listed on the site have the most up to day images and information. As you can imagine it's quite the process!

For this to happen we need to receive product information direct from the brands. This will mean that if companies do not get back to us (which is why you'll find some brands not listed on the site... who wouldn't want to work with us? I know!) we will have to remove listings as it's important all information is kept relevant. You'll also find that in the coming months more products will be added as brands send us through the relevant info/images.

It's going to be a big year for Beauty Review - you should see what's going on behind the scenes! Busy times!!

Have a fab day! xo

If you're enjoying using a powder and you don't mind just replacing the brush then I recommend this one by xobeauty, it's a brush witha spoolie on the other end! It's fantastic.

I took my last one on Saturday with the intention not to repurchase.  If I notice a difference I might take them up again.

I'd like to try the ones that Tannygirl takes with the hyularonic acid but I just can't bring myself to swallow horse pills :P.

I'm currently taking:
Lifestream - Advanced Probiotic
Solgar - Astaxanthin 
Solgar - Biotin
Thompsons - B Complex
Clinicians - Sunshine Vitamin D3 with K2
Life Extension - Skin Restoring Phytocermides with Lipowheat (these are quite pricey so not sure if I will continue but giving 3-4 months)

For someone that can't swallow pills I'm getting lots of practice :).Skin Restoring Phytoceramides with Lipowheat

Blistex lip conditioner in a pot fixes all lip issues and cuticles too!
Nivea hydro care in blue tube also very good for day to day hydration. I'm chucking Burt's bees to return to it.

Re Essence mascara, I'm on my 4th variety. Only 1 of those has been review-able.

Here's a question for BR Team, Rimmel Kohl Brittania eye pencil has a truckload of reviews from quite a while back. It appears that it's still on sale but without the 'Brittania' all over it (I remember this campaign - everything was relating to UK, Kate Moss, union jack shaped eye shadow palettes).
Should we be adding reviews to this one, do we need another listing or perhaps the title of the current listing updated? It's a pretty reliable staple at most cosmetics retailers.

Imoshen are you still taking these? I'm keen to try them just wondering what results you got after a few months?

I forgot about my brow gels. I use a clear coat /coloured by Loreal Brow gel. My Mellow one I also use that too at the end of my brow grooming. 

Id love to try Benefit one day. I see lots of Brow kits from Benefit.

I’m pretty sure that it’s ‘tart’ because there’s no accent like in café or rosé  :)
