| Valentine's Day | Makeup Look | featuring NYX Butter Gloss in Red Velvet |

It is that time of the year again - Valentine's Day!

I wanted to put together a make-up look for you that is both wearable for day or the night. 

This look features subtle lashes, glowing skin, soft curls, and a spin on the classic red lip. 

Now we all know that red lips create an alluring and luscious lip look but this year I have opted for a deeper red velvet shade using the NYX Butter Gloss in Red Velvet.

 The flawless application of false lashes requires you to first curl your natural lashes and always trim your false lashes to fit your unique eye shape. My biggest tip would be to use tweezers in application as it allows you to get as close to the lash line as possible.

Feathery, yet voluminous lashes can be worn effectively for day-time looks without being too dramatic. 

Be daring and give it a go! 

My key tip for a romantic, glowing, and luscious Valentine's Day look is highlighting!

Sweep a little (and I mean little, let's not go disco ball shiny) amount of illuminating or highlighting powder over the high points of your cheeks, down the nose, forehead, your chin, and finally your cupid's bow - where your lip forms two fine points. I used TheBalm's Mary Lou-manizer! This step brings a stunning amount of radiance to your face and attracts light to your crimson-stained romantic lips.

The final step is soft romantic curls - for that just-rolled-out-of-bed-look.

I used my GHD hair straightener to create soft curls from around the ear-level down. Shake your hair out, running fingers through the ends to loosen curls. Finish with a light spray of medium-hold hairspray for maximum curls and minimum fall throughout your day.

I hope you enjoyed my Valentine's Day look!

 I would love to know what your look will be this Valentine's Day too! 

Talk to me in the comments section below to share.

Happy Valentine's Day to you!

What is the product you will be using to feel extra special this Valentine's Day?

| Top 5 | Hair Treatment | Must Haves |

Hair treatments are an essential part of my pampering sessions when I am feeling my hair is looking lack lustre or I just feel like treating myself. When it comes to haircare treatments I often stick to what I know and love, but occasionally I do make a new purchase or receive products to trial and review here at Profound Feline.

Let me tell you a little about my hair.... We have a love / hate relationship that often at times leaves me feeling very frustrated. You see, I have the issue of having both fine and thin hair, throw in colour treated woes and there is a lot of hair health issues happening. Therefore, I have to be careful in choosing the hair treatments I apply as it can weigh my hair down and create unwanted greasiness which is a BIG NO NO! Also, it takes me for what seems a lifetime to completely use up the products I have therefore when I make a purchase I need to know it's right for me!

My staple hair treatment must haves help me feel pampered and give assurance that great results and good hair days will follow. Over the past year I have discovered my holy grail hair treatments that leave my hair nourished, silky, strong, and I want to share them with you! 

L - R : Davroe 'ends repair leave-in treatment' / MUK SPA 'Argan Oil Treatment' / Md Marc Daniels 'Blue Cypress Blonde Serum' / HAPUNA Paul Brown Hawaii 'Argan Oil Finishing Shine Serum' / TONI & GUY 'Nourish Reconstruction Mask'.

* Davroe 'hair wellness' WELLBEING TREATMENTS ends repair leave-in treatment:

Davroe are a South Australian brand that are taking the world by storm. I was first introduced to Davroe and their beautiful product range at the 2013 Adelaide Beauty Conference, you can view my wrap-up post HERE! Davroe's ends repair leave-in treatment is my daily saviour. Used on wet or dry hair it is a lightweight cream with a spa-like scent designed to repair and seal split ends whilst restoring hair softness, shine, and manageability. 

* Muk.spa Argan Oil Treatment:

I was introduced to Muk's Spa range at a 2013 Muk Haircare event in Adelaide and I haven't looked back since! I was lucky to trial the Muk Spa Argan Oil range with this treatment being a stand-out star. For all hair types this luxurious hair oil easily absorbs; infused with Moroccan Argan Oil, Linseed Oil, Sweet Almond Oil, and Aloe Vera. It provides intense conditioning, shine, and moisture, whilst smoothing frizz and eliminating flyaways.

Let me warn you, it is intense with a little going a long way. I have fine hair so even more sparingly in my case. I opt for using it as an intensely hydrating overnight treatment. Slathering hair from root to tip and throwing it up into a top-knot bun for a hair treatment whilst I sleep. Presto! 

Md Marc Daniels Blue Cypress Blonde Serum:

I discovered this stunning product in a sample received in a Lust Have It beauty sampler box a few years ago and decided to buy the full-size product. The MD Blue Cypress Blonde Serum smells like delicious candy and is a brightly coloured violet purple (perfect for toning brassiness out of my blonde locks). The tiniest of drops is needed to run through damp towel-dried hair to helping tone and moisturise colour treated hair. This product is a MUST!  

HAPUNA Paul Brown Hawaii Argan Oil Finishing Shine Serum:

I adore the Hapuna Finishing Shine Serum! I was lucky to win a set containing the shampoo, conditioner, and shine serum from a competition run by fellow beauty blogger Kayte's website Imminent Beauty. Originating from Hawaii this product range contains Argan Oil with Kukui Nut Lipids and it is a beautifully light shine serum to nourish the ends of your hair. Apply a small amount in palms and work through damp or dry hair - adding softness and shine in one simple step! 

* TONI & GUY Nourish Reconstruction Mask:

Toni & Guy are a brand I have used many times over the years, even visiting their hair salons for a cut and colour. The NOURISH Reconstruction Mask is by far my pick from their hair mask range as it offers an intensely nourishing treatment for my colour treated hair. I am one who is partial to the quick in-shower hair treatment mask as I cannot be bothered waiting to apply it to damp hair and then re-enter the shower to rinse it off. This mask hits the mark for scent, level of hydration achieved, and ease of use. Get this one into your beauty arsenal NOW!

| 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

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.

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

If you would like to read more about the RosehipPLUS Skin Boost Roll-on Rosehip Oil Treatment I have previously reviewed this product it HERE.

These beautiful products were kindly provided for consideration in the sweetest package to arrive at my door. 

Thank you to the team at RosehipPLUS!

| 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?
