SERUM 7


BOOTS LABORATORIES

Serum7 Anti-Ageing Skincare

Review!
Serum7 Regenerating Night Cream 50ml - $34.00
Ah night cream. You know how I love my night creams and this one is up there with the best I've
tried, especially for this bargain price, it's not too bad at all!

The products available in the Boots Laboratories Serum7 skincare range are targeted to younger
skin types. Being almost 33, I feel like this range it quite well suited to me and the results I have
been experiencing have proven that to be the case. Also available for those older and with more
defined skin ageing concerns such has deep lines and wrinkles, Boots has created their skincare
like called Serum7 Lift.

The brand Boots Laboratories has actually been around for 160 years, originally the company was
 founded in the UK, it has only just began to be available here in Australia over the past few years.

The deliciously rich cream is white and thick, however it isn't overly thick nor does it feel heavy on
 the skin. I have used much heavier other night creams and this one does not have that suffocating on
 the skin feeling.

This product is said to work really well on even really sensitive skin, however I would try a tester out
in store first if you get the opportunity as this product does have a perfumed fragrance to it.  I don't
mind the scent, it is quite to my liking and my skin isn't at all sensitive so I haven't had any problems
with it so far. Just something to keep in mind if fragrances happen to rub you the wrong way
generally as the scent does linger for hours after applying.

Serum7 Beauty Serum - 30ml - $36.00
This milky white serum has the same fragranced scent as the Serum7 Night Cream above and is a
wonderfully hydrating anti-ageing product! I have been using both of these products together for
some time now and my skin feels amazing! This serum it suitable to be used both day and night.

I am a bit of a skin hydration freak and use both a daily moisturiser and serum together before
applying any makeup. Even though I do this using both of these products (even a thin layer of the
night cream in the morning) it doesn't give me that oily sheen or feel greasy or heavy.

These products make my skin nice and smooth and feeling soft. It gives a nice base for applying
makeup and it doesn't sweat off as my skin seems to absorb it within a few minutes.

I honestly really love using this serum because not only does it make a killer makeup base and keep
my skin well hydrated and looking dewy, fresh and young day by day, it has also faded my fine lines
I had appearing around my eye area and even those drier looking lines I could see making their way
across my cheek area. That was a shock to discover and quite scary as I always try to hydrate like
crazy! However now I can't even see them anymore and I put it down to using these two products
together over the period of a few months.

When it comes down to it for me at least appearing younger comes down to a few simple steps!
- - -
- Hydration inside & out multiple times a day!
- Eating healthy, fresh, regularly & organic if/when you can.
- Be sun smart! Thats, slip, slop, slap & wrap!
- Don't sweat the small stuff. Manage your stress in a healthy way & try to keep those levels low!

This UK brand is available to purchase from Amcal and Guardian Pharmacies.
Do you use a night cream, serum, daily moisturiser or all three?

BEENIGMA


BEENIGMA

All In One Face Cream

Review!

http://www.beenigma.com

Here's a fun fact that is sure to blow your mind. At least it completely blew mine and took me by
surprise. Bee Venom is the big new trend in anti-ageing skincare! Say what?! I know right! How
bazaar you say? Well let me explain, and trust me it's worth a try!

Let me introduce to you Beenigma, a cruelty free New Zealand skincare brand which uses the venom
from bee stings in a safe and pain free environment for the bee in which they release a small amount
of their venom without loosing their stinger, therefore not losing their lives like bees normally would.

The powerful bee venom tricks the body into thinking it has been stung (Obviously this product is
NOT recommended if you have a known allergic reaction to bee stings!) without causing any pain
or inflammation to the skin, however mild tingling may be felt. Rather the venom actually contains
 anti-ageing properties including amino acids, peptides, enzymes and other replenishing proteins all
 working together which smoothes the skin, reducing the appearance or wrinkles and plumping up the
 skin giving it a more youthful and lifted appearance.


The other two key ingredients used in this facial cream are some of my personal favourites! These are
Manuka Honey, Shea Butter and Almond Oil. I have used all of these amazing ingredients in products before and just love the hydration, scent and caring nature and feeling each gives to my skin.

Manuka Honey (which I also regularly buy and eat on my toast most mornings) is a richer, darker
form of natural honey. On it's own this delicious sticky substance has it's own super powers including
being anti inflammatory, anti bacterial and anti-ageing. It also contains amino acids, antioxidants and
is one of natures more powerful skin healers which makes complete sense to use this for repairing the
skin in turn making it young again.


Shea Butter is soothing to the skin and also replenishing which I think is a perfect partner in this bee
venom cream. The Almond Oil is super hydrating and absorbs into the skin fast. It gives caring
nourishment to the skin.

This gorgeous blend of ingredients create this creamy yummy scented day and night cream which is
thick and white in appearance. This luxe 50ml white and gold jar comes with a small scoop stick to
help with application and avoid contamination in the cream.


Beenigma is available to purchase directly from their website for current RRP of $124.95 which
includes free shipping!

DISOUNT CODE! For 20% off enter CANDYFAIRY20 at checkout!

Also available is their 5ml travel size cream for just $17.95!

MY BEAUTY SECRETS


My Top 5 Beauty SECRETS!

Sssshhhhh LOUDLY!

ONE! - Soak in Epson Salt!
Epson salts are sold by many brands these days and can still be purchased very cheaply from your
local supermarket or chemist. Epson salts are magnesium sulfate which looks just like large rock
salt you buy for cooking. However this powerful stuff when mixed with your warm bath water will
help draw out the toxins built up inside your body, relaxes your muscles and as it soaks into our skin
also produces more of our energy cells. This is also a winner to relieve cramping during that time of
the month!

Soaking your feet in a nice warm epsom salt bath is also a great way to relax tired and tense feet
which have been holding up your weight all day long or if they have been in high heels. The salts
are great for scrubbing away all that dry tough skin as well as reducing foul foot odour!
Bathefex Products available now from Priceline stores & Chemcorp online!

TWO! - Drench yourself in Bio Oil!
Bio Oil has got to be one of the best staple items you can own in my opinion. Like Epson Salts it has
so many benefits primarily to the skin which can't be ignored. With powerful and natural ingredients
including - Vitamin A, Vitamin E, Rosemary Oil, Lavender Oil, Chamomile Oil, Calendula Oil and
the more powerful of all PurCellin which work together as a powerful combination which helps with
uneven skin tone, stretch marks, scaring, anti-ageing and moisturising.

My skin needs help with all of these things about once a week I will give my daily moisturising after
showing from head to toe a miss and instead I will lather up generously in Bio Oil! I honestly believe
it works as I am often being told I look much younger than I actually am!
Bio Oil available to purchase online & in store at most chemists, supermarkets & major retailers.

THREE! - Scrub Often!
I love the feeling of scrubbing away the stress of the day in the shower each night. It feels so good
and it is so good for you by not only letting your skin make way for new skin cells underneath
giving you a renewed, youthful glow. The scrubbing is also a great way to promote circulation around
 your body by getting the blood flowing from all of the scrubbing. For me this is a great way of also 
waking myself up in the morning especially with a good facial exfoliator. 

Not to mention dry body brushing is also great for circulation and reducing the appearance
 of cellulite by breaking down the larger fatty cells into smaller ones making them less noticeable. 

I remember reading years ago Cindy Crawford massages coffee beans into her thighs to reduce
cellulite. Seems to work for her!
FOUR! - Sunscreen!
I don't think many people really regard sunscreen as being much of a beauty product, however in my
experience it is one of the most powerful beauty products you can own!

Protecting your skin from the sun is serious. We should all know by now how dangerous sun baking
and staying out too long in the sun can be especially without any kind of protection. Not only should 
you be wanting to protect your skin from pre-mature ageing and painful sunburn. You should be slip
slop slapping to save your life from some very lethal and scarily common skin cancers.

There really is no excuse these days with so many great brands creating different kinds of SPF.
Don't like the greasy feel or the classic sunscreen scent? No problem! There are plenty of products
available these days which know these consumer pet hates and have catered their products 
accordingly.
Great daily sunscreens for the whole family used regularly in my house include - Banana Boat Ultra 30+ / Neutrogena Beach
Defence / Neutrogena Wet Skin

FIVE! - Hydration Gives Life!
When it comes to appearing youthful and as good as you can for your age. I have found water and
keeping my body hydrated to play a gigantic part in this process. I am of course guilty of not always
drinking enough water each day and over the years I have learned to really notice and see the
difference this makes to how my skin appears. When I don't drink enough water my body is has
less energy, I can't think as sharp, my skin is dry and my face looks puffy, tired and old!

With water making up on average 70% of our whole bodies is makes perfect sense to keep those
 levels topped up for us to stay on top of health at all times. Whilst water does the majority of the 
work, some moisturising beauty products also play a key part in keeping the outside of our bodies 
looking youthful. In the long run hydrated skin is healthy skin which will hold it's elasticity and 
strength longer as we age which is prevalent to preventing our ageing skin from being prone to
 breaking open and bleeding easily from a simple bump or graze as I have seen in some of my close
loved ones as young as their mid 50's!
My stash of moisturisers are the largest of all my beauty products! These are just some of my current most used ranging from facial, hair, skin and hands - Indeed Laboratories Hydraluron / Avene Tolerance / Weleda Evening Primrose Hand
Cream / Oblepikha Siberica Hair Repair Oil / Dirty Works Coconut Body Butter

I would LOVE to hear your beauty secrets if you have any to share!

VITAMINC24


~  INDEED LABORATORIES  ~

Vitamin C24

Did anyone else's mum make them take Vitamin C tablets every morning before school?
I remember way back in primary school when we lived in the northern suburbs of Sydney and
my sister and I would walk to the bus stop sucking on a Vitamin C tablet. 

When it comes to skincare I am not as experienced when it comes to using Vitamin C in beauty
 products as I am using them on the inside. However the benefits of this super vitamin are so great, it
 completely makes sense to also use it in this way.

The formula of this is that of a white creamy consistency which feels more matte than oily which 
quickly becomes apparent as you work it into the skin as it gives the skin a more even, smooth and 
matte look. Not only the visual effects of this product are so great, as are the long term effects and
results this product gives. These include building collagen, reducing skin inflammation and 
discolouration repairing the skin making it more firm and looking at it's natural best whilst also
reducing the look of ageing.


Product Contains the following - Vitamin C, Hyaluronic Acid & Silicones.

Being both a serum and moisturiser in one I love that it saves me time by being a 2 in 1 product.
Recommended to use both morning and in the evening. I have found I only need to use a very small
amount (about the size of a pea) to feel it working all over my face. I love using products where I can
actually feel that very slight tingling sensation. This only lasts for about a minute and does not irritate
at all! In fact it actually makes my skin appear clearer like when you have just wipes off a really good
deep cleansing face mask. It is really quite interesting!

Overall, I would recommend this product for anyone who would like to prevent the look of ageing or
like me would in addition like to repair some of the damage already incurred from every day life.


Indeed Laboratories Vitamin C24 and the rest of their innovative and effective product range are 
available to purchase here in Australia from their official website, Priceline, Terry White Chemists
and other selected pharmacies for RRP $36.99

LANCOME


~  LANCOME  ~

NEW

Renergie Multi-Lift!


Having turned 31 at the very beginning of the year really nailed it into me just how fast
my 30's are already progressing and how long ago my 20's seemed!

Now, more than ever I am focused on my anti-ageing skincare regime and fighting the inevitable battle of getting older.

When products like this one come my way I get so excited as this would not normally be a product
within my budget to purchase for myself. 

This product is a luxe treat and one I am treating like a little tub of pure gold, 
because at the end of the day, I'd rather have flawless, perfect skin than a tub of gold any day! 
Vein? Yep!

My bedroom decor has a few mirrored furniture pieces and the packaging of this fits in like family.
The silver box with it's gold signature rose accent is so gorgeous and lady like. 
The beauty only continues as you open up the box and delve inside the violet casing.


The formula has a rich, pretty scent which reminds me of a well kept older woman. Dripping in
pearls and diamonds with her make-up perfectly applied. Every time I apply this ulta light, creamy
gel like cream I imagine I will be like that in my 60's, 70's and beyond. (Or however long I last
on this earth!) Still looking around 30 when I'm in my 70's?! Yes please!

At the moment though, my skin is behaving pretty well. It seems to have grown out it it's acne
fit and it is a lot less oily than it used to be. I would classify my skin as normal with a few fine lines
around my eyes when I smile as well as those deep worry lines across my forehead. Other than that,
my skin is okay. 

Since using this Lancome NEW Renergie Multi-Lift Cream, I have noticed my skin to feel much
softer. The skin on my neck and chest area seem to be much smoother and less irritated. I seem
to get random red rashes in this area about once a day whenever I am stressed or anxious and
I feel like this cream has calmed it all down since applying this cream.


As for the multi-lift effect. The only place I feel like has had gravity take to it a tiny bit is my cheeks.
In some photos I can tell they're not as plump as they once were.  After about a week of using this
cream twice daily, I can see, even without taking a picture, my skin has lifted ever so slightly!
I'm not sure how long the effect will last, but I am loving it! It makes so much difference to my
confidence, especially when I smile! So amazed as no other product I've used has ever achieved
this effect!

Overall a really lovely cream which I highly recommend. I don't see how anyone wouldn't
love using this and wouldn't love it!

Lancome's NEW Renergie Multi-Lift Cream can be purchased here!
