| ELES | Brighton Nail Collection | How To 'Brighten' Up Your Look This Winter |

- The ELES Brighton Collection -

'Be Seaside Chic with the NEW Brighton Collection from ELES!'

ELES Cosmetics recently released a NEW luxurious nail polish collection of twelve vibrant pastel colours 

inspired by the bold and brightly coloured seaside huts of the UK's infamous Brighton Beach.

Here are the gorgeous colours of the ELES Brighton Collection below. They feature some
 beautiful seaside themed names! I secretly love it when products have sweet names. 

Also, a special thank you to ELES for sending such a stunning package. I love my personalised beach
 towel and cannot wait to take it on a trip to the beach soon. 

Come on summer - we miss you!

Left to Right / Top Row: Deckchair Blue, Lime Sorbet, Royal Pavilion Red, Coral Cafe, 

Juicy Fruit, Sunset on the Pier, Teal 'n' Wheel.

Bottom Row: Berry Smoothie, Peppermint Cream, Peach Pebble, Not A Cloud, 

Dip in the Sea.

The Brighton Collection, like all ELES nail collections have been designed to provide

 a healthy and safe alternative to creating beautiful nails. 

The entire ELES range proudly boasts a '5 FREE' Formula:

NO DBP

NO Toluene

NO Formaldehyde

NO Formaldehyde Resin

NO Camphor

The above chemicals are 5 toxic ingredients that are commonly found in nail enamels. Scary indeed!

The ELES nail polishes are a dream to use! 

ELES enamel formulas are hand mixed in small batches to help maintain the polish integrity. 

They are fast-drying, durable, and from my experience resistant to fade and streaking issues. 

I have found ELES nail polish offers an outstanding polish experience.

Clockwise from top I am wearing ELES Brighton Collection polishes in:

Royal Pavilion Red

Peppermint Cream

Berry Smoothie

Above I am wearing ELES' Sunset on the Pier & deciding between blue hues. 

As seen from the pictures above, the colour is bold, vibrant, glossy, and wears beautifully. 

Application-wise, 1 coat is all that is needed from ELES nail polishes. Although, personally

 I love to apply 2 quick & light coats as I find it dries and wears longer to boot. The longevity of the ELES Brighton 

Collection is impressive and on some occasions I have experienced 4-5 days with NO chipping (without a topcoat). 

Even longer with a topcoat - WOW!

ELES products are available online at www.elescosmetics.com.au 

AND in selected beauty salons and days spas nationally. 

On-counter now. RRP: $15.00 AUD

| Top 6 | Bedside Beauty | Favourites |

I always love to know what beauty products people keep at their bedside. 

So I thought, why not share with you my Bedside Beauty favourites that I reach for every night.

All who know me know that I love beauty products, and bedtime is no exception. Especially at night I love to have my favourite 

pampering products at arms reach in those few minutes before I snuggle into bed and drift off to sleep.

Almost all my favourite Bedside Beauty products are moisture-enriching, helping to nourish and hydrate my skin overnight. I begin by concentrating on hydrating my face by applying a rollerball of organic cold-pressed rosehip oil around the delicate eye area. The product is both cooling and nourishing, sinking into my skin like a dream. Click here to read a full review of the *RosehipPlus Rosehip Oil Skin Boost Rollerball. 

If further hydration is required I use Elizabeth Arden's Eight Hour Cream Skin Protectant on any dry skin areas (around my nose, forehead, even elbows and dry cuticles). I then go in and apply lashings of my favourite lip treatment, the Nivea Caramel Cream Lip Butter. Not only does it smell like creamy caramel on your lips but you wake with a super soft and luscious pout in the morning.

Moving next to body hydration, I turn to LUSH. Even though I apply body cream daily post-shower I still like extra hydration at night. The *LUSH Lovely Jubblies Breast Cream is a new product to my favourites, yet a quick love affair has developed. Applied to the breast and decolletage, Lovely Jubblies promises to lighten and firm skin. The scent of Tigerlilly and Jasmine is relaxing and delicate enough to apply at bedtime. I absolutely adore this product, and a little goes a long way. After that it is nice to apply a thick blob of hand cream, bringing it all the way up the forearm. Your hands do so much work for you daily, along with winter flu-season hand-washing rituals. Therefore it's nice to re-hydrate your hands at night. I use the *Kosmea Rose Hand Cream. To read my quick review & thoughts on the Kosmea Rose Hand Cream click here. 

Lastly, scent is known to be very closely connected to relaxation. I am in no way a troubled sleeper but I do sometimes find it challenging to drift off. I have noticed I experience a deeper sleep when aided by relaxing aromas. Be it burning a scented candle, or applying perfume to my pulse point. At the moment I am loving the Victoria's Secret mist in Love Spell. It has a beautiful cherry blossom and peach bouquet that veils the bedroom and even the bed sheets. Sweet dreams everyone.

Do you have a little stash of products you love beside your bed? 

What are your favourite bedside pamper products?

| LUSH | Grand Re-Opening Launch Night |

A few weeks back I attended the grand re-opening launch of Adelaide's one and only LUSH store in Rundle Mall. 

The newly kitted out LUSH store is beautiful and full to the brim with lust-worthy LUSH treats for all. 

Hands up who loves LUSH!

Showcasing some delicious lip-licking LUSH lip scrubs. Mint Julips, Popcorn, Bubblegum,  all smelt divine.

After braving what seemed an eternity on a chilly wintery Friday night in Adelaide. 

LUSH lovers waited patiently to see the NEW LUSH store. 

The event began at 5pm but by 4:30pm the line was snaking all the way down Rundle Mall. 

Unfortunately, I missed some of the fun festivities like cupcakes (noooo!), drink refreshments and products demo's. 

Thankfully, I had company whilst waiting as many fellow beauty bloggers arrived in line. Thank you ladies!

Upon entering the store vivid colours and delicious scents filled my senses.  

I could see how the store had been renovated with practical display shelves high up the walls - it was fully stocked with LUSH!

The store was packed full of customers so it was quite hard to get pictures for you!

I was interested to see LUSH's makeup products in a beautifully colourful display. I have never tried makeup from LUSH but was impressed with selections on offer, including cream shadows, liquid eyeliners, mascara and lipsticks.

The gorgeous display in the centre of the shop. The LUSH Coalface hard cleanser is tempting to my eye.

 

Above: Ayla showing off the LUSH Cupcake Face Mask. 

Chocolate lovers beware, it looks good enough to eat, sadly it is not. :(

The new LUSH Rundle Mall store NOW boasts an ice chilled chest to keep the face masks fresh. Cool!

Here, Ayla demonstrates the soothing and hydrating LUSH Catastrophe Cosmetic Face Mask on Zhahara and my hands. 

Our hands were super-soft upon removing the mask. I wanted to slather it all over my face.

Colourful LUSH Bath Bombs were towering high at the Rundle Mall store re-launch. 

The first 100 LUSH customers on the night received a sweet little goodie bag featuring 3 LUSH products. 

Popcorn Lip Scrub (it is amazing and edible), Whip Stick Lip Balm and Sparkle Toothy Tabs. 

The LUSH crew were so friendly and generous. 

Thank you!

When I hear the word LUSH I immediately think bath time! What is your favourite LUSH products to use :) 

I would love your recommendations.

Will you be stopping by to check out Rundle Mall's re-vamped LUSH store?

| Food Adventures | Saturday Brunch | The House of Donkey |

I previously blogged about my Food Adventures at The House of Donkey for my birthday lunch last year with a girlfriend. 
You can see all the mouth-watering photos in my post HERE.

Local art work, jewellery, and wooden trinkets adorn the surroundings.

Fresh and local persimmons on our table :)

The breakfast menu was set to 5 options - all sounding equally delicious! It look us ladies quite sometime to settle upon our choice. We decided to each try a different menu option and eagerly awaited its arrival.

The asparagus and avocado marriage was my choice for brunch. Beautiful!

'The Hens Green Garden'  

Two poached eggs on sourdough served with lemon, wilted spinach, avocado, asparagus and a mustard vinaigrette. ($14.00)

'Mr Billy'

Two poached eggs on sourdough served with cumin roasted pumpkin, goats cheese, fresh rocket and herbs served with a citrus, balsamic and walnut glaze. ($14.00)

'Breakfastor Wraptor'

Scrambled egg, fresh spinach, tomato, basil pesto and cheddar cheese in a tortilla wrap. ($9.00)

The fresh juice menu was impressive and unique. I decided upon the Punch of Spicy Life.

The cute donkey mural near the counter. Love this donkey!

The House of Donkey's quaint and welcoming Sturt street terrace frontage.

The House of Donkey can be found in Adelaide's CBD.

What are your favourite places for brunch catch ups with friends around Adelaide?

I love getting recommendations from other food lovers :)

Take care,
