IN THE MIRRORwith Cassidy Pearce
Reviewing my Beauty Pass Sale haul
If you’re anything like me,
you probably spent a little
too much on last week’s
Sephora Beauty Pass Sale.
Here are my first impressions
on the things I bought, and
whether I think they’re worth
your money – with or without
the 20 per cent off.
Ole Henriksen Pout Preserve
Peptide Lip Treatment in
‘Strawberry Sorbet’
The Ole Henriksen Pout
Preserve Peptide Lip Treatment
is described as an advanced
lip treatment that instantly
plumps lip with hydration and
smoothes lip lines.
With lip products all the rage
at the moment, everyone is
trying to find the best one, and
I truly think this is a contender.
As far as texture goes, I think
it’s fairly similar to the Lanolips
Superbalms, however it’s not
quite as thick and gloopy. In
saying that, it’s also not as thin
as the Summer Fridays ones,
meaning it lasts longer, and
you don’t have to reapply as
frequently.
I haven’t purchased anything
from Ole Henriksen before, so
I likely wouldn’t have picked
it up if I hadn’t seen it recommended
on TikTok, but I’m so
glad I did!
Fenty Beauty Demi’Glow
Light-Diffusing Highlighter
in ‘Pretty Purlz’
Fenty Beauty just released
their range of Demi’Glow
Light-Diffusing Highlighters,
which are skin tone-based
highlighters designed to flatter
every tone for a low-key glow.
Being so fair, I’m always nervous
about highlighters being
too deep for my skin tone, but
I was pleasantly surprised by
the shade ‘Pretty Purlz’. I think
it provides a natural ‘lit from
within’ type of glow, which I
would recommend to anyone
looking to complement a
no-makeup-makeup look.
Lanolips Lip Scrub Strawberry
The Lanolips Lip Scrub is a
balm-based lip scrub made
with gentle sugar and real,
finely ground strawberry seed
pieces to smooth away dead
skin, whilst the 70 per cent
lanolin deeply hydrates.
I generally lean towards more
harsh sugar scrubs for the lips,
so this product will definitely
take some getting used to, but
based on first impressions I do
think it does a good job at both
smoothening and hydrating
the lips – especially given it’s
only $15 full price.
Natasha Denona Hy-Per
Natural Face Palette
The Hy-Per Natural Face
Palette is a brand-new concept
for Natasha Denona, featuring
a combination of eyeshadow,
blush, bronzer and contour
shades.
The face shades have a
natural matte finish, and are
buildable in pigmentation. I
do think the pan sizes might
be an issue if you’re wanting
to use a larger brush, however
thankfully the shades don’t
have too much fall out, so if you
are careful, you don’t have to
worry about picking up more
than one by accident.
Of the eyeshadows, ‘Dreamy’
is by far my favourite, being
the only true shimmer, whilst
the others are more malleable
formulas which could be satin
or matte depending on how
they’re applied.
At $112 full price, I do think
you’d be better off finding
something less expensive, as
this is a lot of money to spend if
you’re not completely obsessed
with a product – I prefer my
Hourglass palettes as another
option at a similar price point.
Rare Beauty Soft Pinch
Luminous Powder Blush in
‘Love’
I picked this one up as I was
looking for a red-toned powder
blush to go over the top of a
similar liquid shade I have
already.
I think this one is really pretty,
and thankfully nowhere near
as glowy as it looks in the pan!

expressed concerns over leaving children
una tended at any time, let alone during “the

She told the court that there needs to be

future.
“The consequences can be devastating,”
Magistrate Thompson said.
Hosseini was convicted of the single o fence
