It’s going to be 29C in Melbourne today. It’s already feeling warmer, and for days like this, I’m not a big fan of foundation. I want something that will multitask without me needing to slap layers of cream on. For that, I turn to tinted moisturisers.

I was recently given the opportunity to try out Face of Australia’s tinted moisturiser in SPF30+. I’ve only tried tinted moisturisers by Laura Mercier and Nivea, and a few other BB creams with a maximum SPF of 20, so I was highly looking forward to this.

Description:
Containing broad spectrum high protection against the sun’s damaging and ageing rays, this formula reduces the effect of sun damage whilst giving you a light healthy glowing appearance. The non-greasy formulation provides a smooth finish that is silky and easy to apply that can be worn under make-up or alone for a light natural look. Face of Australia Tinted Moisturiser comes in three different shades to suit any skin tone.

A couple of weeks ago, in the interest of *ahem* research, I signed up for Beauty Box as I was curious to know what it was all about. Ah the things I do for the blog 😛

Beauty Box is a subscription service that handpicks the best and latest beauty products for members to try. At AU$14.95 a month, members will receive a beautifully wrapped box in the mail that has a great mix of 4 to 5 deluxe beauty samples.

This service is equivalent to the popular BirchBox in the US. There are other very recent sample subscription services like this in Australia too, like Lust Have It and Bellabox. At the moment, Beauty Box is the only service I signed up to.

I received my first box earlier in the week. Come open the box with me, won’t you? 🙂
