My memory of Sportsgirl cosmetics doesn't leave me racing to the local store to relive the experience. Tacky lip glosses & woeful eyeshadows bring back memories of teen years that I would rather forget.

Moving into the 21st Century, Sportgirl have released About Face - a range of 32 beauty products with a reasonable price bracket of between AU$7.95 - $16.95. Great for a girl on a budget.

There are a few brushes, some eye colours, lip glosses, bronzers and blushes. A fairly compact range, but broad enough to develop some more shades & products when it becomes more popular.



Not having tried them myself, from perusing their website my first picks would be:

Star Dust Shimmer Powder AU$12.95. Is it a blush, is it a shimmer powder? I can't tell but if it has one of the cool squishy applicators like the YSL Touche Blush, then I must try it. Only gripe is that it seems to only come in one colour.



All Nighter Fighter under eye brightener AU$12.95. Every girl over the age of 15 should own an under eye brightener. It is like an extra six hours sleep in every application & frankly, who wouldn't want that?! Seeing as though this one is about one-fifth of the price of the cult YSL Touche Eclat, it may well be worth a shot. Again, it only comes in one colour, so those of you who don't have a vampire tan like myself may be out of luck as it looks awfully pale.


The only question left is... how good are they? If you have tried them, let us know what you think in the comments.
