SugarBaby Vita+Skin Body Scrub Reviews.

Hello lovely ones! 
Today I'm sharing my thoughts on the beautiful SugarBaby Vita+Skin Body Scrubs!*

SugarBaby have two fabulous-and I mean fabulous body scrubs. I love both of these for exfoliating and stimulating my skin and leaving it looking and feeling super soft, fresh and supple! So what's in them!?

I'll start with the SLIM-ULATE Coconut and Coffee Stimulating Body Scrub:

I love this scrub for many reasons. It has beautiful ingredients for the skin including Coffee Seed Powder, Coconut Powder, Olive Oil, Coconut Oil and more! All of these work together to stimulate blood flow and circulation, as well as nourish and deeply moisturise the skin. These sorts of Coffee scrubs are amazing for those with stretch marks as the Coffee helps with skin cell regeneration, all while having the most delicious coffee aroma!

Next is the equally as lovely  SUGAR C-RUSH Coconut and Raw Sugar Exfoliating Body Scrub!

I absolutely love this scrub as well. Ingredients include Raw Sugar, Himalayan Salt, Coconut Powder, Grape Seed Oil, Coconut Oil, Jojoba Oil and more! This scrub is beautiful for exfoliating the skin. The Himilayan Salt and Raw Sugar help to polish the skin leaving it feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. The luxurious oils also leave skin super soft and hydrated, enriching it with essential vitamins and minerals for the skin. It has a delicious aroma and truly leaves my skin looking fresher and deeply hydrated at the same time.

I love using these in the shower a few times a week to give my skin a real treat. If you haven't used a body scrub before or were thinking of trying these I HIGHLY recommend them! They last for such a long time and are truly luxurious.


Price/Purchase From: $14.99 for 200g (A little goes such a long way!) -Available from your local Priceline pharmacy or on the SugarBaby website.

SugarBaby Vita+Skin Coconut Hair Treatment Review.



Hello lovely ones! 

Today I'm reviewing literally the best hair treatment/mask I have ever used in my life to date.
Introducing the SugarBaby Vita+Skin Hydrating Coconut Hair Treatment!*

This is such a beautiful product for anyone wanting a deeply hydrating hair treatment!

So what's in it you ask?
Gorgeous ingredients such as Coconut Water, Olive Oil, Shea Butter, Aloe Vera, Argan Oil and more! All of these ingredients work to intensely hydrate and nourish the hair, all while leaving it fresh, healthy, protected and happy.

I love to use this in a variety of ways, but my two favourites would have to be as a hair treatment that I apply then leave on for 10 minutes, then wash out- As well as a leave in treatment to nourish my hair. I simply apply a ten cent piece size of product to my hand (use less for shorter hair) and apply from the bottom of my ends to the top of my hair (you can skip applying to the top of your head if you have oily hair.)
My hair is always left feeling super soft and looking shiny after using this and I can't recommend it enough! 
My mother recently flew up here and was complaining about her bleached hair and how the ends were completely dry and dead looking. I promptly told her she needed to try this mask and long story short, she used it once as a leave in treatment and her hair has never looked more healthy! (She's off to buy some tomorrow!)

I absolutely love this treatment and it's fantastic, luxurious ingredients, it is by far the best I have ever used. Check it out for yourself!


Price/Purchase From: $14.99 for 140ml (A little goes such a long way!) -Available from your local Priceline pharmacy or on the SugarBaby website.

Derma e Soothing Moisturizing Creme.


Hello lovely ones! I'm finally able to post another review after having a crazy few weeks including being very sick! Thankfully that's over and I'm back good as new.

Today I'm reviewing the Derma e Soothing Moisturizing Creme!*

This is such a beautiful product for anyone wanting a deeply nourishing, thick moisturiser with anti ageing benefits!

So what's in it you ask?

Vitamin E: To prevent and treat the visible signs of ageing.
Vitamin A: To help produce new, healthy skin cells and fight the signs of ageing.
Vitamin C: To improve skin tone and skin elasticity and reduce inflammation.
Pycnogenol Bark Extract: To help renew collagen fibres and firm the skin.
Pro vitamin B5: To hydrate, soothe and heal skin.
Organic Jojoba Seed Oil: To penetrate deeply and provide nutrients to the skin- 
And more! 

I've absolutely loved using this as my nightly moisturiser and love how fast it absorbs and how great it is at locking in moisture. I don't know that I've ever tried another product that has absorbed so fast and yet is so rich and luxurious at the same time! 
I simply apply it to the skin after cleansing and pat drying my face and it really does make my skin feel super hydrated and replenished. After a few weeks I noticed my skin felt more plump and supple and I really do love it's creamy formulation! 

I would absolutely recommend this to anyone wanting an anti ageing moisturiser that absorbs quickly, helps brighten the complexion and seriously locks in moisture. 
(It's also cruelty free, 100% vegan and has no nasties!)

Price/Purchase From: $34.99 for 56g (A little goes such a long way!) -Available from your local Priceline pharmacy or online at Dermae.com.au

My Favourite Skincare Brands!


Hello lovelies!

I'm back today with a post I'm really excited about, it's all about my favourite affordable skincare brands!! 
After many, many years of trying many, many skincare products I've decided to finally put together a list of my top five favourite skincare brands. 
They're my favourite because not only are they natural but they seriously deliver and are extremely high quality, especially for the price! When I recommend skincare products to people I don't take it lightly, I only recommend brands I know will deliver and provide them with what their skin needs. So without further ado, and in no particular order, here's my all time favourite skincare brands!

Sukin Organics.

Sukin is a fantastic Australian skincare brand and were the first ever natural products I started using back in the day. Their products and the way they truly deliver is what first fuelled my passion for natural skincare!These days they have more than sixty products available whether that be for your face, body or hair! 
They have many ranges available to suit your skincare needs including sensitive skin, normal skin, dry skin and oily skin. I love the ingredients they use in each product and highly recommend them for any of your skincare needs- their products have such an iconic natural aroma too! I've used so many of their products and always recommend them to family and friends. When I worked in the skincare section of the pharmacy I worked at I always recommended Sukin to customers and they always came back thanking me. Every time.

MooGoo.

The skincare brand that changed my life. Well, my skins life anyway! I honestly can't describe to you how amazing the MooGoo products are!
They are an Australian company  that are the most honest brand you'll ever find on the market. Each ingredient in their products is not only high quality but they tell you what the ingredient does and why they've included it in the product. Each MooGoo product truly delivers and I use so many of them each day on myself and my family. Unlike other brands, MooGoo also cater for skin conditions including Eczema, Psoriasis, Cradle Cap on babies and more! 
They have such beautiful products that are so effective and extremely affordable. They also have products like toothpaste, anti ageing creams, sunscreen, soaps and more! (Their natural deodorant is the only roll on deodorant I'll ever use now and changed my under arm skin for the better!) I highly recommend checking out the MooGoo website and having a look for yourself! 
(If I had to choose a favourite it would be the Full Cream Moisturiser!)

Trilogy.

Trilogy are all about powerful, natural skincare. For those wanting to treat or prevent the visible signs of ageing I always recommend trying Trilogy. Their ingredients are simply beautiful and include highly effective, natural ingredients to renew and nourish the skin. Their products have beautiful, floral scents that are from the natural flower and plant oils and extracts- they are beautifully aromatic in all the right ways! 
Their products are jam packed with powerful antioxidants, botanicals, hydrating oils and other nourishing ingredients to treat many different skin concerns including dryness, sensitive skin, ageing skin, lines and wrinkles, uneven skin tone and more! 


SugarBaby Vita+Skin.

I am such a fan of the SugarBaby Vita+Skin range and have almost every product from their range. This Aussie company specialises in beautiful beachy products that include some of my most favourite ingredients such as Coconut Oil, Grape Seed Oil, Avocado Oil, Vitamins C and E, and amazing anti ageing ingredients like niacinamide and other wonderful peptides! If you're looking for incredibly hydrating products or delicious Coconut body scrubs this brand is the way to go! I can't get through my day without using at least one of their products (and don't even get me started on that amazing packaging!)

Moreish.

Moreish are a New Zealand company who specialise in "Superfood for the skin." They use incredibly nourishing ingredients in their products including organic Argan Oil, New Zealand Avacado Oil, Grape Seed Extract, Kiwifruit Extract and my most favourite- Manuka Honey. All of the ingredients in their products are  extremely hydrating and replenishing and leave skin feeling renewed and looking radiant. Their products are perfect for protecting the skin and fighting the visible signs of ageing. I've tried almost all of their range and find each one highly effective. They leave my skin feeling super soft and supple and are loved by everyone I recommend them to! 


Swisse, Antipodes, Rosehip Plus and Akin are also amazing and I highly recommend checking out their products too! 

All of these incredible brands are available from your local Priceline Pharmacy- except MooGoo which you'll find at most local chemists :)

Derma e Hydrating Eye Creme Review.


Hello lovelies! I'm back again today with another product to review that I've been absolutely loving! 

Introducing the Derma e Hydrating Eye Creme with Hyaluronic Acid and Pycnogenol!*

I was first drawn to this beauty as I wanted an eye cream that would seriously hydrate my eye area and lock in moisture- so when I saw this product I knew I had to try it!

So- my favourite question- what's in it?!

This deeply hydrating creme contains gorgeous ingredients including:

Hyaluronic Acid: To seriously lock in moisture and prevent the visible signs of ageing.
Vitamin E: To prevent and treat the visible signs of ageing.
Vitamin A: To help produce new, healthy skin cells and fight the signs of ageing.
Vitamin C: To improve skin tone and skin elasticity and reduce inflammation.
Pycnogenol Bark Extract: To help renew collagen fibres and firm the skin.
Pro vitamin B5: To hydrate, soothe and heal skin.
Witch Hazel Extract: To tone the skin and reduce puffiness.
Organic Jojoba Seed Oil: To penetrate deeply and provide nutrients to the skin.
These are just a few of the ingredients in this product that I just absolutely love! 
I've been using this for the last couple of weeks and have noticed how much more hydrated my eye area has become. Though I may not have wrinkles, I do have laugh lines when I smile and it is slowly improving these and I can't wait to continue using it to see more results! 
It has firmed and softened my under eye area and intensely  hydrated my skin. 
I simply place a pearl sized amount on the under eye area as recommended and apply that to my skin. This creme absorbs so fast and leaves my skin looking and feeling deeply nourished, moisturised, protected and renewed. I honestly can't wait to keep using this and seeing more results. It has gorgeous ingredients and is also cruelty free, 100% vegan and has no nasties!

If you're in the market for an eye creme I highly recommend this beauty!!

Price/Purchase From: $29.99 for 14g (A little goes such a long way!) -Available from your local Priceline pharmacy and online at Dermae.com.au

Hair&Me Intense Repair Hair Mask Review.

Hair & Me are a wonderful brand that create natural haircare and skincare products and use incredibly beneficial ingredients.
Funnily enough I had been desperate to find a new hair mask when I was contacted and sent this beauty- the Hair & Me Intense Repair Hair Mask!*

After looking at the ingredients list in this product I knew it was going to be a real treat. What I look for in a hair mask is ingredients that will lock in moisture and deeply nourish my hair- and this has all of the above and more!
It contains:
-Shea Butter to lock in moisture.
-Avocado Oil to nourish with nutrients and protect the hair.
-Argan Oil to repair the scalp and hair while moisturing.
-Coconut Oil to strengthen, deeply hydrate and create healthy hair and hair growth.
-Peppermint Oil to normalise the PH level and create a healthy scalp.

I have to say, this is by far the BEST hair repair mask I have ever used! Normally after using other hair masks, even natural ones, I won't be able to tell any difference and I just hope that it is helping my hair. With this mask however, I notice a difference in my hair every time I use it and I absolutely love it!
 I use this in a few ways, whether applying it to damp hair 15 minutes before shampooing or leaving it on for a longer time then shampooing. Each time my hair is left feeling so healthy and fresh! It's soft, smooth and feels hydrated- something my hair isn't always used to! Another bonus is that even though I have very long hair I still manage to get around seven uses out of this product. The beautiful peppermint aroma is so delicious. It smells like your applying peppermint chocolate all over your hair! I honestly can't say enough good things about this mask except that other masks sure have a lot to live up to now.
If you're in the market for a deeply hydrating mask that locks in moisture and leaves your hair feeling incredible I simply can't recommend this one enough! 

Price/Purchase From: $18.00 for 90g- Available at www.hairandme.com.au

Dr Bronner's Pure Castile Soaps Review.


Dr Bronner's pride themselves on using organic and Certified Fair Trade ingredients in their products and have a wide variety of products for many purposes. 
Today I'm reviewing the Pure-Castile Soap* and Pure-Castile Bar Soap*!

Pure-Castile Soap:

This concentrated, biodegradable and versatile cleanser can be used for so many different things including a face and body cleanser, for shaving, added into a bath or foot spa and even as a natural cleanser for any household duties! Basically anything you wish to clean or cleanse with natural ingredients then this is a fantastic option. It contains Organic Coconut Oil, Organic Palm Kernel Oil, Organic Olive Oil, Organic Jojoba Oil and more!
I have used this for many of the options above an absolutely love it. This one in particular is Hemp Cherry Blossom so it has a lovely, subtle Cherry Blossom aroma. Not only does it use all completely natural ingredients but it works to really cleanse properly. This is such a great option for those wanting a natural alternative to cleansers and cleaners!

Pure-Castile Bar Soap:

This is a beautiful soap for use on the body and I absolutely love it. It contains Organic Coconut Oil, Organic Olive Oil, Organic Hemp Oil, Organic Jojoba Oil, Vitamin E and more! It has a lovely natural Cherry Blossom aroma and leaves my skin super soft and smooth. As it is all natural it doesn't dry my skin and yet still lathers nicely. I'm very picky about soaps and this one is definitely a goody! It doesn't dry out in itself and leaves my skin continually feeling renewed and supple. I highly recommend it for those wanting a natural, gentle soap that leaves skin hydrated, nourished and smooth.

The Pure-Castile Liquid Soaps are packaged in 100% Post Consumer Recycled plastic and the Pure-Castile Bar Soaps are packaged in 100% biodegradable packaging- all the Dr Bronner's products are available from your local health shops or online at www.drbronners.com.au
