makeupIf you’re looking for paraben free make-up and cosmetics, below is a list of products that I have come across so far. I will continue to update the list as I come across more brands and products.

Matte pink and black hibiscus manicure
About

I am a qualified nail technician and freelance make-up artist based in Army Bay, Whangaparaoa (Auckland).

I studied nail technology at Monaco Nail Academy (qualified in 2015), and I use the Artistic Nail Design range which includes Colour Gloss (gel polish), Artistic Putty (PolyGel), and Rock Hard LED Gel.
I also hold CIBTAC and ITEC qualifications in make-up artistry, and I obtained these in 2010 and 2012.

Disclaimer

I do not receive monetary compensation for any of the product reviews on my blog. All reviews are based on my own personal opinion after purchasing and using the products myself.

If I am approached by a company to review a product for them at any time (or paid to do so), this will be mentioned in the relevant blog post. Being given free products, or being paid to promote a product, will not change my personal honest opinion of the product.

Please bear in mind that everyone is unique, and although I may not have an allergic reaction to the make-up or skincare products that I've reviewed, your skin may react differently. Wherever possible, please patch test new make-up and skincare products on yourself before purchasing.
