'I am a huge fan of ALL of the big blue cosmetica products. Not to mention, I have converted my husband as well. The deodorant is AMAZING. The green and gold bar AMAZING. But most of all...the coco cleansing bar.. WOW!!! It does NOT strip the oil from my skin. Great for shaving with, gentle on your face and a great all-around bar. I am wholeheartedly invested in sharing my love of your products. Don't ever stop making them. It has taken me years to find a brand that works for my oily skin and hair. And I am proud to share the love. If you have ever questioned using natural products...think again. I URGE YOU TO TRY THESE. You won't be disappointed. I promise.' - Tara

'I just wanted to drop you a note to tell you how much I've enjoyed your products. I bought the hydrating coco cleanser, the kakadu plum clarifying oil and the deodorising spray. My 10 year old uses the cleanser too! The room spray is so divine also. I support a few local business who all have great clean products but I feel that something extra luxurious in yours' - Suzana

'I am Obsessed with the kakadu plum clarifying oil. Its has transformed my skin. I only use this and its perfect. Thank you so much for creating this!

'Since going back to your bar from last market, your shampoo bar is definitely the best I've tried...also absolutely loving the soothing saviour creme as a daily face moisturiser - it gives a divinely silky feel to the skin. So I'm now using the kakadu plum clarifying oil as a deeper moisturise and for the neck. And loving the deodorant too, glides on smoothly which I did not expect.' - Vanessa

‘Just a note to say thank you for taking the time to make these wonderful products. My family sent me a pamper pack of your products when I was pregnant last year and I haven't enjoyed using anything else since. And I appreciated the time you took to write me a personalised note on how to use everything’ - Emma

'Oh gosh! Everything smells so amazing!' - Kasia

'Hi! I purchased a bunch of stuff from you at the Ripponlea Market and just wanted to shoot you a message to tell you how much I'm loving it! I've been using the kakadu plum clarifying oil daily and absolutely love the lip balm. Thank you so much!' - Meg

'Thanks once again for delivering so promptly my goodies. My wavy unruled hair was in desperate need of your shampoo bar. It just came back to life! I loved the coffee scrub too. It is my new fave.

'I just wanted to say thanks for the great products. I love how much attention you pay to sustainability from inception until delivery and beyond. However, I have to single out the Deodorising Spray. When I first used it I was surprised at how subtle the fragrance was but I have been so impressed at how well it neutralises bad odours. This is a magic potion in a beautiful bottle. Thanks!' - Kait

'It's a great product [the kakadu plum clarifying oil], pollution and makeup come off easily and the oil, as a moisturiser, really feeds the skin. It's a glorious product' - Kathy

'I was using the soothing saviour creme with a Vitamin C serum for a while, the serum irritated me so much I stopped it and now your creme is my only face routine I love it! I got the beard tonic for my partner and he loves it, his beard was starting to irritate him so he bought few different products for it and yours is the only one in use.' - Rima

'Today I came across Tina's stall at the Esplanade Market and purchased the soothing saviour creme. What an amazing product. So light and fresh. I love moisturisers and have purchased hundreds. But this one is my new fave by a mile!' - Di

'Ok this is amazing stuff. It doesn't irritate my underarms like No Pong sometimes does, it works for 24 hours, and it's a pretty neutral, fresh scent. I feel like even after 24 hours, the smell is not completely unpleasant. It's easy to wash off, doesn't leave a stain on my armpits or my clothes. I've tried a few "natural" brands too, this is my favourite.' - Michelle, talking about the all day deodorant 

'I got the all day deodorant and it was *literally* life changing, I’ve always been a sweaty smelly lil sod and this is legit the first thing that has not only worked, but worked ALL day & night, and smells so natural and beautiful and isn’t sickening or overwhelming when you get waves of the freshest scent' - Jadeyn

'Hi! I bought your all day deodorant at the Yarra Glen market last month and just wanted to let you know how much I love it! It's by far the best natural deodorant I have used. I was getting a rash from the other ones I tried but yours is so soothing, smells wonderful, keeps me feeling fresh all day and the texture is perfect. Will be a long term buyer and can't wait to try some of your other products soon. Thank you' - Laura

'Hey there! Bought your all day deodorant at the Rose St Markets and I love it. I cannot believe something natural is actually working on my sweaty pits. Thanks so much. Keep up the good work' - Gillian

'Tina! Your deodorant seems a bit smoother and softer - very easy to apply! The main thing is I want to give it 5 stars. I applied it on Wed 6am, 39 hours, 3 flights, 2 stop-overs dragging heavy backpacks, including hotish Bangkok airport later - I do not stink' - Luka

'I love love love the tinted lip balms. I have such sensitive skin, and generally react to chemist lip balms and any lipstick. I can wear all of these. They are so soothing, and have just the right amount of lip tint. So happy I found your products.' - Lizzi

'Thalassa (tinted lipbalm) is such an easy colour to wear everyday. My lips are moderately pigmented, a lot of oranges/peaches are too bright for my skin tone, but this colour definitely shows up on my dark lips. I use it on my eyes and sometimes my cheeks too. Some lipsticks make my lips a touch dry, making me need lip balm too, but this one is like a lipbalm and lipstick in one, my lips feel really soft and hydrated when I'm wearing it, not sticky, and it doesn't have a bitter taste either.' - Michelle

'The creamiest most dreamiest lip colour' - Steph, talking about the tinted lipbalm

'I suffer from severely dry lips and have tried more lip balms than I can count! I prefer to use all-natural/Eco-friendly ingredients so was excited to come across Big Blue Cosmetica at the St Kilda markets last year! I have finally hit the jackpot with the lip balm AND it comes in a compostable tube! Will definitely purchase more products from this brand in the future' - Coral

‘The beach babe texture spray is literally the best hair product ever! It’s not sticky or gritty like other beach hair sprays - and your hair looks natural wavy but “done” just with air drying. My teenage daughter and I love it!! Love love love the non plastic packaging and gorgeous natural recipes' - Heather

'The beach babe texture spray smells so fresh, I love spritzing into my damp hair. It keeps the waves and curls, does not weigh down my hair, and my hair still feels clean and not crunchy' - Michelle

'I love the beach babe texture spray! Gives you beachy curls without drying out your hair, and smells absolutely lovely.' - Simona

Usually, I need to spray quickly onto wet hair otherwise it's too late, but this one works particularly well to bounce up flat dry hair as well. Will definitely be buying again and I hope she ends up adding many more items to her online store. With the same scent also! Fingers crossed :) Must try!' - Naomi

'This stuff is the bees knees (the dry skin dream balm) ...bonus points for smelling beautiful' - Chloe

'I’m a massive fan of the dry skin dream balm, which my family uses for EVERYTHING this winter! But the beach babe texture spray is literally the best hair product ever!

Love love love the non plastic packaging and gorgeous natural recipes' - Heather

'It's brilliant. I hadn't tried shampoo bars for the longest time because unless they had SLS in them, they didn't lather up and get through all of this hair properly, but this one, this must have magic ingredients in it! It's so fantastic, I can't recommend it enough' - Coco, who loves my green and gold shampoo bar for her long thick hair

'Soooo omg just have to tell you i used the green and gold shampoo bar for the first time washing my hair tonight and i am IN LUVVVVVV!!!! My hair has never felt this clean and healthy in my life. Everything about it is perfection, the way it lathers (so easily!!!), the way i dont even to use that much on my thickkkk hair... I'm so in awe and I'm swearing by it from this moment on! I have naturally very thick hair so I always burn through products because I need to use huge amounts but this soap has changed my life' - Haze
