| REVIEW | RosehipPLUS | Australian Certified Organic | Hydrating Day Cream & Nourishing Night Cream |


My experience with the duo of RosehipPLUS Hydrating Day Cream and Nourishing Night Cream has created significant changes to my skins overall texture and helped me adapt my skincare regime towards a NEW more nourishing system as my skin ages. 

This year I reached the milestone birthday of 30! With this, I have needed to change my thoughts surrounding what skincare I use, and how my skin has changed. Moving from a focus upon acne prone, oily- combination skin and towards replenishing and nourishing my combination - dry skin more at the age of 30.  


Before we get to the reviews, what is Rosehip Oil? 
What is it derived from? 
And how does our skin benefit from its use?

* RosehipPLUS Certified Organic Hydrating Day Cream:


The RosehipPLUS Hydrating Day Cream is 100% pure and natural Australian Certified Organic skincare product. It contains the extract of the seeds of the Rosehip fruit (Rosa Canina) and helps support and encourage a healthier looking complexion. Youthful looking skin is plump and hydrated. As our skin ages it loses its structure and becomes more dehydrated - fatty acids can help keep skin appear and maintain hydrated. Omega 3 & 6 are essential for supporting the skins renewal and helping repair damaged skin tissues.

Rosehip fruit (Rosa Canina).

RosehipPLUS Certified Organic Hydrating Day Cream:


 ✓ Maintains skin hydration and softness
 ✓ Improves the appearance of dry and sensitive skin
 ✓ Minimises the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles

How to best apply: 

For optimum results it is recommended to apply the Hydrating Day Cream in the morning after cleansing the face. It can be a follow-up after adding a few drops of the RosehipPLUS Rosehip Oil. Apply to the face and décolletage and massage into the skin gently. It is perfect for all skin types. 

The RosehipPLUS formula & ingredients: 

RosehipPLUS Rosehip Oil, Chamomile, Avocado Oil and Rose Geranium. The formula is rich in naturally occurring Vitamins A, C, E plus Omega 3, 6 & 9. All ingredients are 95% Organic.

RRP: RosehipPLUS Hydrating Day Cream     - $19.95 AUD

Size: RosehipPLUS Hydrating Day Cream - 75ml tube

* RosehipPLUS Certified Organic Nourishing Night Cream: 

The RosehipPLUS Nourishing Night Cream is a 100% pure and natural Australian Certified Organic skincare product. It contains the extract of the seeds of the Rosehip fruit and it supports and encourages a healthier looking skin. It also helps nourish the skin at night whilst improving the appearance of fine lines and emerging wrinkles - promoting elasticity.

How to best apply:

Again, for optimal results apply after cleansing at night and applying two drops of Rosehip Oil. Apply the Nourishing Night Cream gently to the face, neck, and décolletage. It is appropriate for use on all skin types.

Phone: 1800 851 888

The Verdicts:

What I love MOST about the RosehipPLUS range is that the products are Australian Certified Organic and are Cruelty FREE! Similarly, they are made without the nasty chemicals you don't want anywhere near your face - no parabens, no sulphates, and no preservatives or petro chemicals.

I have combination skin and have found these two products do work wonders on tackling dry skin areas on my face, particularly around my nose in the winter time. I loved both the Hydrating Day Cream and Nourishing Night Cream - they worked wonderfully with my skin, providing enough hydration yet not overloading my skin (which can often cause me breakouts). 

I love everything Rosehip and the present Rosehip Oil in these products offer a simple and effective tool in reducing the appearance of skin scarring (in my case from acne) and improving your skins texture. With regular daily use the appearance of my scars did become softer and marks were less prominent. I will be repurchasing this cream!

The Rating: ★★★★ / 5

| LUSH | NEW Westfield Marion Store | Opening Night | [Photo Heavy ]


A few weeks back I was invited to the NEW LUSH store opening at Westfield Marion. It was a fun-filled evening of pampering and learning more about LUSH's values, ethics and environmentally sustainable practices that make it one of my FAVOURITE beauty brands out there! Come along with me to the NEW Westfield Marion store to see their new digs and check out the current product offerings from LUSH Australia!


LUSH: "From our very humble beginnings at LUSH, our founders have been conscious of how our products and business practices interact with the environment. In doing so we've used creative and innovative solutions to make a positive impact on the planet. Sustainability is a company-wide priority that flows through our products, from our hands to yours".


Bath Bomb heaven at LUSH..................


Can you spot your favourite?


Lip products galore! Lip scrubs, balms & ALL you will need to keep your lips luscious.


Delicious LUSH 'Fresh Face Masks' on ice. The chocolatey 'Cupcake Face Mask' looked good enough to eat!


Beauty-lovers and bloggers exploring the NEW LUSH Marion Store!


STATION #1 'D.I.Y Making 'Angels on Bare Skin Cleanser':

It was exciting and humbling to see in 'real time' how quickly and simply the LUSH Angels on Bare Skin was made. Being able to watch all the natural ingredients that make up the product made me feel very comfortable with using the cleanser. It only took a few minutes and it was ready to package up and use (we were kindly given samples of the cleanser to try at home). I am in love with Angels on Bare Skin Cleanser, it is so gentle and comforting on my skin.


STATION #2 Traditional Japanese 'Furoshiki' Wrapping:

When buying individual products as gifts at LUSH, it is encouraged to present your gift in one of their stunning knot wraps. These are based upon the Japanese tradition of ‘furoshiki’, where the wrapping of the gift becomes a part of the gift itself. I love this idea - it's functional, saving our environment, and promoting the re-homing & restyling of vintage scarves! LUSH's furoshiki scarves are all made from recycled plastic or are unique vintage scarves. 


LUSH FACT....................

About 46% of LUSH products are naked (packaging free), including bath bombs, shampoo bars, bubble bars, massage bars, body butters and solid facial cleansers – reducing the preservatives required and packaging sent to landfill in Australia.
Consider this; if everyone in Australia used solid shampoo bars, then we would be reducing landfill by over nine million bottles a year!

STATION #3 'Massage Bars' & Hand Treatments:


Enjoying a relaxing hand massage with the LUSH Wiccy Magic Muscles Massage Bar!
It was a spicy combination of cinnamon leaf and peppermint essential oils - to relax and help ease aching muscles.....





Thank you for the invite LUSH! It was a fantastic opportunity to talk all things LUSH and learn more about a brand that continually impresses me with its dedication to environmental sustainability & ethical practices within a big business environment.

Thank YOU for coming along with me to explore all things LUSH!


What are your favourite LUSH products?

| REVIEW | U Little Beauty | All Washed Up 'Kakadu Plum' Foaming Cleanser |


I am always on the hunt for new Australian brands to try and this brand ticks all the boxes! Recently, I met up with one of my best friends for a coffee catchup :) A time which usually turns into a fun show-and-tell session of recent beauty purchases and favourites. My friend introduced me to a cleanser she had recently bought and trialled, immediately my interest was sparked! It was offered to me to try as she preferred her original cleanser. Of course I jumped at the chance to try this product out for myself!

U Little Beauty is an Aussie owned and made product, that is organic, vegan friendly, recyclable and against animal testing. 
YES YES YES - tell me more you say?

 



All positive ticks on my checklist for a fantastic new product!

I did a bit of research on the product and visited U Little Beauty's website - which to my delight was very comprehensive, user friendly, and offered an in-depth breakdown surrounding their entire product range. I even found a few more products I would love to try. BUT enough rambling, let's get to the review  : )


U Little Beauty All Washed Up Foaming Cleanser



A single Kakadu Plum (the size of an olive) has the same amount of Vitamin C as 10 oranges. Kakadu Plum is a powerful antioxidant, rehydrates, protects, reduces the signs of ageing, and enhances skin radiance and clarity.

U Little Beauty:

"We’ve captured extracts of Witch Hazel, Rosemary and Calendula and bottled them up to create a soap and fragrance free formula for use at dawn and dusk."


Directions:

Lather and apply to clean, moist face and neck areas in the morning and night. Rinse thoroughly. Suitable for all skin types. 


Size: 150ml


RRP: AUD $19.95


Availability:

Available in Priceline stores Australia-wide and where all good beauty products are sold.


Ingredients:

Aqua; Decyl Glucoside; Calendula officinalis Flower Extract; Aloe barbadensis Leaf Juice; Glycerin; Sodium Hydroxymethylglycinate; Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) Oil; Kakadu (Terminalia ferdinandiana) Plum Extract; Guar (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba) Gum; Oak (Quercus robur) Bark Extract; Witch Hazel (Hamamelis virginiana) Extract; Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) Leaf Extract.


Verdict:

The U Little Beauty All Washed Up Kakadu Plum Foaming Cleanser is an all round pleasure to use on a daily basis. After rinsing the product from my skin it felt cleansed, yet not stripped off oil. My skin felt plump and I was left with a light plum fragrance lingering - which I enjoyed! I experienced no skin irritation and I feel it worked well within my daily skincare regime. The pump applicator created ease of use - another feature of this product to appreciate. My conscience was clear using this product! I love U Little Beauty's philosophy of cruelty- free and environmentally friendly skincare.

If you love uniquely Aussie products go out and support this little Australian skincare brand!

Next on my wish list is to try out the U Little Beauty Dinki Di Day Cream!

| REVIEW | MyNewSkin | Olive & Lemon Myrtle Skin Balm | 'From Herb Farm To Skin Balm' |


MyNewSkin Herbal Skin Balm is a 100% natural, Australian-grown and made face and body balm crafted 
from a combination of 7 fresh hand-picked herbs and essential oils.


A green bouquet of freshly-picked Olive Leaf, Oregano, Chickweed, Burdock, Sheep Sorrel, Salad Burnett and Fresh Lantana 
infuse into a base of Olive Oil with either Lavender or Lemon Myrtle. These precious ingredients combine, forming an
 antioxidant-rich balm with lush emollient properties. Helping soothe, soften and restore the skin of the face and body.



MyNewSkin Skin & Body Balm:

    ✓ Nourishing

      ✓ Moisturising

 ✓ Soothing

    ✓ Refreshing

  ✓ Softening

       ✓ Replenishing

         ✓ Chemical free

INGREDIENTS:


Olive oil (extra virgin), Fresh extracts of: Burdock, Chickweed, Olive leaf, Oregano and Sheep Sorrel, 
Ocean salt, Bees wax, Salad Burnett and Lantana, Macadamia wax, Lemon Myrtle oil. 

MyNewSkin DOES NOT contain: synthetic colours, fragrances, petrol-chemicals and synthetic parabens. 
The balm is available in two variants. Olive and Lavender or Olive and Lemon Myrtle. 

DIRECTIONS:

Apply the desired amount, a little or a lot to dry skin areas. I have used this product as a face balm applied to cheeks, 
forehead, and the delicate eye area. MyNewSkin is also perfect for dry elbows, cracked heels and as a cuticle balm. 

MyNewSkin skin balm is quickly absorbed & leaves skin nourished and beautifully scented with lemon myrtle (it reminds 
me of lemonade Icypoles). This product is gentle enough for use on 'face or feet' - a true "jack-of-all-trades-product"! 

                                                              Perfect for a beauty treatment in a flash!


SIZE / AMOUNT:

50g


RRP:

AUD $24.95

MyNewSkin Pro's:

  • 100% natural

  • Australian owned and made product

  • Supports sustainable Australian agricultural practices 

  • Softens and repairs rough, dry, cracked skin

  • Reduces the appearance of scars

  • Intensively nourishes dry and damaged skin

  • Relieving and non irritating for eczema and psoriasis sufferers

  • No sticky residue remains on the skin

  • Provides a natural protective skin barrier

  • Beautifully scented product (smells like Lemonade Icy Poles)

  • Size. Compact enough to carry in your handbag for those on-the-go dry skin moments.

  • Value for money - 50g product lasts a long time!

  • Leaves skin feeling soft.


MyNewSkin Con's:

  • Would LOVE to try more scent varieties of this product

  • Availability in store (But you can always shop online).


VERDICT: 

The bottom line, I feel good using this product. 

What do I really like about MyNewSkin? The herbs are grown chemical free and are lovingly handpicked and processed
 on site at a fresh-herb ‘Farmacy’ in Queensland, Australia. It is rare to find a beauty product that contains fresh plant 
extracts and is made through sustainable agricultural methods right here in Australia. 


My skin feels naturally nourished and healthy when I use this product and that's a big tick in my books. 

I highly recommend this product to all I know.



                                                                             Rating: ★★★★ / 5
                                                      

Have you tried any of the MyNewSkin products in your beauty routine yet?
