A'KIN


A'KIN

Natural Australian Cruelty Free Skincare
Review!

http://www.akin.com.au


Rose & Geranium Pure Facial Creamy Cleanser & Toner
I love two in one products such as this one as cleansing my skin is probably the number one
priority in all of my beauty routine. Cleansing my face both morning and night is something I have
always done and will continue to do as this is the only way which works for me in keeping my skin
blemish free and clear of blackheads, excess oil and skin build up.

As much as I am well behaved with my cleansing I am more often than not slack with toning my skin
afterwards which is truly a flaw on my behalf and I know this because whenever I do actually
remember to tone my skin I notice a huge difference in the overall appearance of my skin.
 Particularly my pore size and as the name suggests, it really does tone the appearance of my skin.

This 225ml is a fantastic large size which has lasted me months and still going strong! The scent is
gorgeous and natural and smells quite similar to the Lavender & Rose A'Kin Night Cream. - $24.95


Purely Revitalising Lifting Eye Cream
This natural beauty comes in a 15ml tube with a screw cap at the bottom with a small narrow opening
for the product to squeeze out. The white cream is medium thick with a light scent. I found only a
tiny amount of product needed to apply to the outer corners of the eyes where those pesky crows
feet are beginning to appear and also underneath the eyes.

The cream only takes a minute or two to completely soak into the skin and feels slightly firm and
lifting as it does this which I found to be a really interesting sensation. I like it when I can actually
feel a product working and not just taking it's word for it or having to wait weeks on end to know if
it is actually making a difference to my skin.

In saying that, after months of using this eye cream I can really notice my whole eye area appears to
be firmer and less tired looking. The skin just under the eyebrows also seems slightly elevated which
I am most happy about as I have felt as though my eyes can have that hooded appearance at times. - $29.95


Lavender & Rose Antioxidant Facial Night Cream
This 50ml night wonder if luxuriously thick and creamy with a gorgeous natural light scent which is
more prominent than both the cleanser/toner and eye cream, however not crazy over the top or very
noticeable at all once you have applied the product at night and gone to bed.  

I feel as though this cream has a nice thick consistency similar in colour and texture as the eye cream
Although this night cream is thick, it honestly does not feel heavy or suffocating at all like some
heavy creams can. My skin is neither oily nor dry so I feel like this cream has been of great benefit
to my skin as it is suited for the 'normal' types like me.

Over the past few months I have woken up to softer, brighter and well rested looking skin whilst
using all three of these products together. For me they go together hand in hand and compliment
each other with their gentle and natural ingredients. - $39.95

Since I began trying out these skin rich products A'Kin have re-done their product's packaging so
be sure to check out the new product designs on their website or in stores!

A'Kin products can be found and purchased directly online through their official website as well as
in Priceline, David Jones and selected pharmacies and health shops!

A'Kin offer a wide range of products for all ages and skin types which are Australian made and
owned and completely cruelty free!

MARCH EMPTIES



~  MARCH EMPTIES  ~

I think I've out done myself this month! If you saw my last month's empties then you know
that I mentioned I thought that was my best month in terms of empty products. However, I believe
this month takes the cake! Move a-side empties, I have loads of newbies to try!

Face -
SkinB5 Skin Purifying Mask (Full Size)
Hydraluron Moisture Boosting Mask (Full Size)
Eve Cosmetics Super Active Primer (Full Size)
Zk'in Certified Organic Line Smoothing Serum (Sample)

Hair -
Pears Clarifyingcare Shampoo (Full Size)
Garnier Olia After-Colour Care Conditioner (Full Size) (Review!)
Fudge Urban Texture Junk Styling Paste (Full Size) (Review!)

Body -

I went through all of my nail polish this month and tried to use up as much as I could of my oldest
bottles. These are all pretty much used up or have gone gloopy. Happy to get rid of a decent lot.
The goal is to only have enough that fill my nail polish rack without overflowing....

Done & Dusted!

How did you go with your emties this month?

JANUARY EMPTIES


~ JANUARY EMPTIES ~
2015!



Um excuse me January? Yes you! Where did you just go?!
It's February 1st already and I feel like my taking a concious effort to use stuff up to
clean some space is finally starting to pay off as I feel like I did good this past month! :)

I can't wait to throw away all this rubbish!
So let's get into it!

Washes & Scrubs!
Vagisil Feminine Wash
Vagina's naturally clean themselves, so I don't agree with this product's idea for the need
to balance the pH levels, 'down there'. However, as a regular body wash it smelt alright.

Sukin Foaming Face Cleanser
Loved this! Kept my moody skin clear from blemishes and didn't dry it out or irritate it.
Foamed up beautifully. Perfect cleanser!

Avon Clear Skin Invigorating Cleansing Cream Scrub
If you want a nice strong scrub, then this is it! My skin can handle it and seems
to benefit from it as I could feel a big difference in the smoothness of my skin after each use
because it just removed all of my dead skin on the surface of my face so easily.
Top stuff!

No Name Christmas Bubble Bath
Was gifted this at Christmas. Nice smell and made some decent bubbles!

Nivea Men Clear Effect Volcanic Mud Foam Face Wash (Sample)
Claimed this back off my man as he wasn't using it, so I took it upon myself to use it up.
Not a big fan though. It is heavily fragranced and does not foam up at all!
Leaves my skin feeling (literally!) squeeky clean which feels awful!

Moisturisers!
Dessert Treats Banana Split Body Frosting
Yuk, hated the smell of this and so happy to see it gone!

Trilogy Very Gentle Moisturising Cream
Super hydrating and the formula is a bit thick. Great night cream and used on my dry feet
and knees. Did a super job at softening my skin!

MOR Body Butter in Italian Blood Orange (Sample)
Wasn't all that keen on this scent. I prefer other MOR body butters over this one.
Formula is lovely though and just a tiny bit is very strong in terms of scent!

Olay Regenerist Eye Lifting Serum (Sample)
Was pretty happy with this cream. I have some crows feet and this seemed
to make them go away a little temperarily.

Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream (Sample)
I really enjoyed using this both day and night. Felt really nice on my skin!
Hopefully it has made me look more youthful. Can't really tell from a small sample pot.

Hair Stuff!
Garnier Olia After Colour Care Conditioner
One of the best conditioners I've ever used!
Would buy a box of dye just to use this. It's amazing and makes my hair feel and
look so shiny like a hair model's!

Paul Mitchell Moisture Mist
Sprayed this in my hair after washing and towel drying.
Not sure I noticed any difference...

Body Products!
OMG! I LOVE this toothpaste! Best tasting and love the grainy mint in it.
Yum, so good! Not so sure it does a whole lot in terms of whitening though, but what does
unless you get your teeth professionally whitened at the dentist?

So refeshing! Loved this scent and did a good job at keeping my smelling good all day.

Samples!
Care You Love Persian Rose Face Moisturiser
A nice product. No complaints. I wouldn't rule out purchasing this once I'm eventually low on
facial moisturiser! (Not anytime soon!)

x3 Vagisil Wipes
Featured these in my past few months of Empties! I swear, I think I've finally used them all!

x2 La Mav Wrinkle Smoothing Antioxidant Rich Nightly Repair Nectar
Full size, this is a super expensive product, so I doubt it would be within my budget to justify
purchasing. Hard to tell if my skin benefited from these two small vials. It felt super greasy on my
skin, however the scent was nice.

A'Kin Pure Radiance Rosehip Oil
This was quite runny and a bit of a mess to use out of a sachet. However I did actually
notice a difference in the appearance of the stretch marks on my stomach from my 2 pregnancies
after just one use! I lathered up my belly after showering and the next morning the marks had
faded. I was really surprised as nothing has worked so fast and well before!

A'Kin Rose & Geranium Pure Facial Creamy Cleanser & Toner
I really liked this and got about 3 uses out of the satchet. Smell, feel, result, everything was just
nice! Want to buy this now!

Planet Eve Exfoliator
Recieved this in my Beautorium order recently and managed to squeeze out 2 uses.
Very gentle for an exfoliant. Felt very moisturising which was nice.

Kenzo Amour Perfume Vial
Had forever, smelt ok. Not my favourite though.

Mariah Carey 'Forever' Perfume Vial
Found this in the bottom of a draw and used it up quickly!
Nice, would purchase this!
