Red Earth - CC Cream & Lipstick Review

Hi all! Hope you are having a great week so far. Today I have two Red Earth products to share with you; the Colour Correcting Light Perfecting Cream in the shade 03 Tan (RRP $35.00) and a Pure Colour Pigment Rich Lipstick in the shade 20 Red Wine (RRP $24.00). 

I really like this CC cream as it's lightweight and evenly corrects and hydrates your skin. It covers any redness you have and leaves you with a flawless finish. The only downside is that it doesn't photograph the best. It doesn't say it contains SPF in it or not, so I assume it doesn't, so I'm confused as to why it leaves a white cast on my face in flash photography? Anyone know how that happens?

As for the lipstick, it's a beautiful deep red wine that you can dab on for a flush of colour or apply regularly and have a gorgeous creamy deep colour on your lips. I think this colour suits my skintone perfectly. It is really hydrating too! I'm in love with this colour and will be wearing it a lot this winter!

My Skincare Routine

Hi lovelies! Today I have a skincare routine post to share with you. Since the colder months my skincare has been amped up and my skin is looking pretty good these days (minus the occasional hormonal blemish here and there). My skincare is pretty basic. I don't go too crazy with different products and methods to apply them but my general routine is as follows.

Every morning, in the shower I will use the Goodness Every Week Face Scrub (RRP $12.95) (which I find gentle enough for daily use). It's a really nice chia seed oil based scrub that gently exfoliates dead skin cells. Once I'm out of the shower I will put on a small amount of the Goodness Chia Seed Oil Every Morning Moisturiser (RRP $16.95), particularly around my chin area (which is my driest area on my face) and then once that has fully dried, I will use 2-3 drops of the Goodness Chia Seed Facial Oil (RRP $19.95) all over my face for extra hydration. This combination of the moisturiser (which is the first moisturiser I've used where I could definitely get away with just using it alone and feel hydrated, plus it smells like watermelon) and the Chia Seed Oil (instant hydration and glowy skin = win!) has dramatically reduced my chin redness and greatly helped the overall look in my skin's texture and appearance. Goodness is available from Chemist Warehouse, Priceline and selected Woolworths.

In the evening I use the Sanctuary Spa Ultimate Facial Cleansing Oil (RRP $19.95, online here), especially if I've worn makeup that day for super soft, clean skin. Once I have rinsed it off and pat my face dry, I repeat my morning routine of the facial moisturiser and facial oil combination. Once or twice a week, after I have cleansed my face, I will apply a face mask. I've been absolutely loving these two face masks together as I can put the Deep Pore Clearing Mud Mask by Red Earth (RRP $35.00, online here) all over my face, and I will use the Melt-Away Mask by Thalgo for Dry/Very Dry Skin (RRP $61.00, online here) just on my chin and around my nose and it perfectly cleans and hydrates parts of my face that need it most. They both effectively deep clean and hydrate perfectly and do exactly what good specifically targeted face masks should do! My skin is giving me a great big kiss!

Red Earth Make Up - Rediscover The Brand + Their Best Sellers!

Hi guys! Today I have a really exciting post! Red Earth is an Australian make up brand that I loved when I was younger. Their beautiful selection of eye shadow pigments in their silver balls started my love for things beauty. Recently they have re-branded themselves with a whole new collection in line! Today I have a few of their best sellers to show you and I am so excited to share these with you!

Red Earth – Skin Perfection All-In-One Concealer Kit: RRP $24 in the colour 02 - Sand*. 

This sleek concealing kit gives a great description on how to conceal different areas of your face and which colours to mix for the perfect coverage. Gives an extensive description on how to cover dark circles, pimples, bruises and freckles. Each colour gave very high coverage and all were creamy. There is a mirror inside and it includes 3 applicator tools. The concealer spatula is to remove concealer from the palette, the flat concealer brush is for blending under the eyes, nose and chin and the tapered concealer brush is for precise spots such as blemishes and freckles.

Going Down: Reduce, Hide, Cover, Brighten, Creamy Concealer

Red Earth - Secret Potion Illuminating Skin Fluid: RRP $32 in the colour 01 - Pearl*. This secret potion skin fluid is a multi-purpose illuminator with pink light reflecting particles that gives the skin a very flattering finish. This little gem smells so good! If you have ever smelt Guerlain's Meteorite Perles it smells just like it! It's hard to explain but so lovely and a bit like candy. This leaves a very lovely sparkle and glow to the skin and leaves a moisturised and soften feel. It can be used as a highlighter, mixed in with foundation, over shoulders and decolletage and also on legs as a moisturiser with a hint of shimmer.

Red Earth – Illusion Lights Beauty Pro Eye-shadow: RRP $12 in the colour 20 - Stormy Night*. 
This eye shadow is a gorgeous deep navy blue with blue light reflecting minerals. It is very pigmented and has a slight gunmetal finish to it. I have yet to test the wear on this colour but will do a look with it soon.

Red Earth – Pure Colour Hydra Luxe Lipstick: RRP $18 in the colour 02 - Jubilee (Sheer)*. 
This lipstick is a lovely watermelon pink with very subtle orange micro glitters. It is super moisturising and smells like vanilla. Gives my natural lip colour a nice flush.

Red Earth – Lip Passion Premium Plumping Lip Gloss: RRP $16 in the colour 01 – Blush*.

This is a gorgeous light pink, blush lip gloss with sparkly micro glitter. It is not sticky and has no scent which was nice as I hate sticky lip glosses! 

And here are some photos of the lip gloss Blush over the lipstick Jubilee:

So what do you all think? Are you excited as I am!? I absolutely loved Red Earth years ago and now that I have a better appreciation for make up and beauty I love it even more! Their new re-branding is exciting, fresh and I can't wait to try more. Let me know what you think in the comments below! Thanks for reading and have a great day.
