| Kosmea 'Rose Hand Cream' | Media Launch Event |

Last Wednesday evening I was invited, along with fellow Adelaide beauty / lifestyle / fashion bloggers and media, to the launch of the NEW Kosmea Rose Hand Cream. The beautiful event was held at Kosmea HQ right here in Adelaide, South Australia. On the night I was interested to learn that Kosmea are stocked in over 1,700 stores throughout Australia and in 7 countries! What a fantastic accomplishment. I love supporting local SA products in all forms!

    

The evening was hosted by Olivia Jenkins, author of the 'Clear Skin Project' and daughter of Marie Jenkins, Kosmea Company Founder and Business Manager at Kosmea Australia. It was an inspiration and pleasure to hear from Olivia about Kosmea, their products releases for 2014, & idea behind launching the NEW Kosmea Rose Hand Cream.

Upon entering Kosmea HQ I was immediately veiled with the scent of roses & immersed in a sea of pink hues. The room was filled with excitedly chatting bloggers, and this was just a taste of what was to come of a beautiful evening.

To celebrate the launch of the Kosmea Rose Hand Cream, we were treated to champagne and delicious treats. As soon as I lay eyes upon the delicate pink cupcakes I knew one (or two) had to be mine :)

How about just one more rose cupcake?
 

Kosmea kindly sent us happily home with a 'goodie bag' containing their Facial Cleansing Wipes, the Rose Hand Cream, and an exquisite flavoured tea from Pukka (I am sipping it as I write this post).


NOW if you are new to Kosmea products of just want to be well informed. Here are the main reasons that I love Kosmea and their product range:

NO mineral oils
NO artificial colours
NO petrochemicals
NO artificial fragrances
NO sodium lauryl sulphate
NO animal ingredients
NOT tested on animals
Recyclable packaging

Even though we were able to trial the Rose Hand Cream at the event, it has been a pleasure to trial it at home - with daily applications. The skin enriching oils of rose hip, jojoba, and olive oil help to hydrate and replenish my skin, whilst the aloe vera, vitamin E & white tea extract protect against the signs of ageing (i hope)!

So, after a weeks use, what are my initial thoughts of Kosmea's Rose Hand Cream?
  • Delicate fresh rose aroma is calming and relaxing (I apply just before bed time)
  • It is a very nourishing cream
  • Sinks in to the skin almost immediately - no sticky / greasy residue 
  • Gives a silky feel to hands after application and lasts for some time
  • I feel good using the product as it has NO artificial perfumes. The rose scent is the REAL THING - Damascus Rose Flower Water with Rosewood Oil.
  • Convenient size that easily fits into my handbag or on my bedside table. 
 
The Kosmea Rose Hand Cream retails for $19.95 50ml and is available at David Jones, Terry White Chemists, and selected pharmacies and health food stores.

| Flashback Friday | ABBM Christmas Meet @ Violet's Hair with Paul Penders & EVO Haircare |


Hi everyone,


Can you believe we are halfway through 2013 already?! Eeeep!


I had been meaning to publish this post for quite some time but it kept getting pushed further onto the back-burner. 

Thus, it is now a Flashback Friday post! 

When I look back on 2012 it was a fantastic year of change and growth. I have met so many fantastic and inspiring people from blogging and I am amazed whenever I reflect upon this fact. So far, 2013 has brought many exciting opportunities for my confidence to grow, and to step out of my comfort zone. You never know what good might come from it! Carpe Diem and all that.....

At the Christmas ABBM Meet we were treated to a demonstration by Anna Lisa from Violet's Hair of the great products on offer by my FAVOURITE hair care line, EVO HAIR. We were also given an informative presentation by Calvin and Bee from natural skincare and cosmetics company Paul Penders who travelled all the way from Perth to visit us!

Come along with me to the December ABBM Adelaide Beauty Blogger Meet which was held at Violet's Hair in Adelaide's CBD. 



FOOD. CHIT-CHAT. COMPETITIONS. PRIZES. SWATCHING. CUPCAKES. FESTIVE XMAS FUN!

I am new to the world of Paul Penders, but I am loving what I have tried so far!


Simple packaging and perfect for travel size product lovers


......all the pretty colours of the rainbow & MORE!


Something for everyone


MUA Kitty from Miss Kitty Charms applies a festive smokey gold eye look to Monnie from Vanilla Silence.Teamed with a dark lip it is very striking! Don't you think?


It's all about precision when applying a dark lipstick. Make sure you use a lip brush to prevent feathering.


5 Minute Makeup Challenge! I teamed up with my friend Kate from Seduced By Beauty for some makeup mayhem.


Here I am applying Kate's makeup using a range of products from Paul Penders. So much fun!


Kate's Look: Paul Penders Mineral Eyeshadow in 'Spring Glamour' a champagne coral to make her blue eyes pop! Paired with Raspberry lipstick which complemented her skin tone.


I had to put in my classic "derp" face. I think I am explaining to the judges Kate's look and the products I used from Paul Penders.


THE WINNERS! Bee, myself,& Kate with the lovely prize pack that we won courtesy of Paul Penders. We divided up the goodie bag between us. 


Christmas Cracker Fun!


Miniature Oreo Cookie Cupcakes


Amazing night with happy smiles all around!


I had such a fantastic evening with Violet's Hair, Paul Penders, EVO and of course all the ABBM beauties!


What are your favourites things about Christmas time?

Mine would be decorating my home with Christmas cheer, gift-giving & over-indulging in chocolates!


Take care & love from my home to yours,
