UNISEX PRODUCTS


UNISEX PRODUCTS I USE & RECOMMEND!

Straight out of our shared bathroom....

LISTERINE TOTAL CARE
I have always grown up being quite aware of my oral health and taken good care of my teeth. I've not
ever had a filling and would like it to stay that way. I am not actually a big fan of using mouth wash. I
find them too strong and overpowering, and this one is no exception. This product is actually one of
the strongest in terms of flavour I have ever used, however I use it becaues the benefits far out weigh
the pungent flavour.

With 6 big benefits in one including - killing germs, reducing plaque, freshening breath, protects
gums, prevents tartar build up and strengthens teeth. It is hard to say no and I cannot deny my mouth needs this and since I am now well beyond the 21st Day Challenge from when I first began using this
product, I can safely say my mouth looks, feels and smells a lot more clean and healthy. 

About a month ago I took my 4 and 2 yr old for their very first dental check up and also booked
myself in for a check and clean since I hadn't been in more than 5 years! Happy to report all is good
and I am still cavity free! Yay!


NIVEA CREAM
I feel like I have been using this classic Nivea Cream since I started using skincare products. I am
pretty sure the first time I used this product I was actually 'borrowing' it from my sister! This product
is the perfect all rounder must have for every person, male and female! It comes in a variety of sizes, 
so you can have a larger size at home for daily use as well as smaller travel and purse size options
available. At the moment I just have this cute little sample pot which I received after applying for a
sample. 

The cream is thick and white and is great for dry and sensitive skin. Even safe enough to use on 
children and babies skin which has been great over the past 5 years with my two rascals.
Can be used all over the body as both a facial and/or body cream.
Currently on special at Priceline for $6.64 (200ml)

I have been using this for a few months now and love that it is unisex and my hubby can also enjoy it!
 The clear glass bottle is so simplistic and minimal and matches any space I store it. The scent is very
 gender neutral, appealing to both men and women. I usually go for the sweet, floral and girlie scents, 
however this isn't any of those things yet doesn't smell at all masculine either. This is a really fresh 
and clean scent that doesn't over power your nose. I have found the fragrance to last throughout the 
day and can smell it lingering on my skin if I smell my arm. :) This would make a great gift for those 
who have everything or are difficult to buy for as it would suit just about everyone!

Contains top notes of wasabi, mandarin & violet leaf. Middles notes of wet cobblestones, concrete
accords, orris root & rose absolute and base notes of vetiver, sandalwood & incense.


PRIMAL EARTH MOISTURISER WITH SPF
There has just been something in the air lately that has been attracting me to products from New
Zealand, (see my NZ skincare routine here!) and this being one of them! My husband visited NZ
for a few months before we met and has always raved about how beautiful a place it is, so I wasn't
surprised to find the Primal Earth range of men's products on his side of the bathroom. 

Being a naturally curious beauty nut who will try just about anything I had to see if it was any good, 
as I usually do with any new product I see in the bathroom. I am gonna try it - mine or not! haha!

This moisturiser is thick and white and contains an SPF 15 which you can't even tell is there when
you apply it. There is no greasy feel or sunscreen type smell. The smell is actually very natural and
uplifting. I really like this one!! Contains Aloe Vera, Green Tea & Harakeke.
Available to purchase from Woolworths.


COLGATE OPTIC WHITENING PEN
This product actually comes in a set with the Colgate Optic White toothbrush but I have to say I 
only bought it mainly for the whitening pen! I have a bit of an obsession with whitening my teeth
as a frequent coffee drinker (more for the buzz and to stay awake and alert than the taste) my teeth
have suffered for it and definitely have had whiter, brighter days!

The pen is so easy to use, you just twist the bottom around until it clicks a few time and you will see
the product begin to ooze out the top. Apply this to your teeth and you're good to go! I have been
applying this right before I go to bed so my tongue doesn't get busy wondering around my mouth and
removing the product. I want it to work with maximum results so I let it sit overnight. I started to see
results after about a week and have kept on using it! 


NIVEA FOR MEN SENSITIVE POST SHAVE BALM
With all of the hype around this product recently of course I had to give it a go to see for myself
what all the fuss was about. Funnily enough my husband already had and uses this product so it
was easy for me to 'borrow' it! 

For women it is said this product makes for a killer makeup primer. I have tried quite a number of
different primers and have found pros and cons in each of them, however never actually finding a
holy grail I would keep on re-purchasing. So I have been buying and trying out new ones all the time. 

This product does have a bit of an aroma to it. It is quite pleasant though and not as strong as you
might expect a men's facial product to be. Usually they seem to have a much stronger scent then 
women's products in my opinion. After applying the skin feels smooth and dry surprisingly and
immediately ready for makeup which stays matte and shine free throughout the day! Gotta love that!



Do you use any of the above products?
Are there any you would been keen to try?

APRIL FAVOURITES


~  APRIL FAVOURITES  ~

Another month has almost gotten away from me yet again. Let me share with you some products
which I really think are worth a look at that I have been heavily into lately! I have been awfully
ill lately and some of these products have been particuarly beneficial to the healing process. Enjoy!

Listerine Total Care Antibacterial Mouthwash
I reckon I have been pretty lucky when it comes to my teeth. They are far from perfect, however
I have been pretty fortunate not have gotten any cavities. That was unti last month when I was
brushing and thought it's felt quite a bit sensitive in one particular area of my mouth. On closer
inspection to my horror I spotted a hole! Noooooo! I am so good with my brushing, flossing and
mouth rinsing! All these years I have avoided having to be drilled into. Now I guess my sweet tooth
has withstood all it can. Bugger! Anyhow, my point is this mouthwash has been great since it is
antibacterial, it has been keeping my mouth super germ free and feeling, smelling and feeling much
better! This stuff is the bomb dot com - get it! :D

Recently I have been tripping it to the Gold Coast to get my hair highlighted to freshen and brighten
up my dull, boring old same, same, dark brown hair which I LOVE. But, it is feeling much dryer than
it used to so I have pulled this old lover out of my draws again to fix the problem. It is brilliant! I
have been savering it, but now I am just using it up and ah, it is just like gold! My hair feels amazing
all over again! (Review!)

I have so many different foundations which I pretty much change up what I apply on a daily basis 
because it's, well, fun! This particular product is much different to most of my other foundations as
it is in a compact and the whole formulation in general is much different than my normal stuff so it
has been fun to use something new and different as 90% of my other foundations are in bottles or
tubes. Plus this has a handy mirror in it which has saved me on multiple occasions! (Review!)

Scunci have the best most broad range of hair accessories, like ever! You can find anything and
everything you want in their range and these claw clips have been my go to for when I am showering
and don't want to wet my hair as well as after I have washed and just want it put up and out of the
way. These are strong enough to hold all of my hair in one place securely and they looks super nice
too. I am especially fond of the golden looking one!

I have noticed lately the skin in between my chest above my breasts and under my neck has been
feeling less than smooth and like it really needed a good exfoliation! So I have been trialling this
sweet orange scented scrub for a while now (full review is in the works!) and it feels so refeshing
I find myself scrubbing all the way up to my face just so can get more of the scent! It feels so good
and the difference it makes it amazing! I love to use this on my feet and calves as well because it
does a great job at getting rid of ingrown hairs and dead skin build up without leaving my skin dry. 

I just recently reviewed this as I have most of these products and they make my favs not only
because they are the products I have been using the most but because they are so easy to fall in love
with! This product smells so delicious and makes your skin feel like a brand new baby! 

I LOVE this! In the past my cuticles have either been neglected or harshly groomed. I am terrible
at it! This product makes the job so easy and much gentler whilst still getting the job done! Now I
never skip this step when I do my nails because it is just so easy and makes they overall look so much
better, you can really tell the difference!

This is an amazing multi use product which I highly recommend! I am surprised it isn't more well
known because since I have been using I don't know how I ever lived without it! Deeply moisturises,
and repairs super dry, itchy skin. Can be used to reduce age and sun spots, bites, stings, chaffing and
more! Worth looking into!

Oh, there is nothing like a good old fashioned classic red go to nail polish! This one from OPI's 
'Fifty Shades Of Grey' collection is deeper in colour than OPI's famous 'Red' and in my opinion
looks much more stiking! It has a beautiful shiny finish and lasts a good few days before chipping.

I have been really into berry lip colours since the cool weather hit and this one from Australis is
super glossy and makes your lips look bigger, as least to me! I love it! The shade is so intense and
really brightens up your whole face! I find myself using this either on it's own or a dab a bit of it
over whatever I have on to add a bit of extra shine and berry hue. :)

OVI Hydration in 'Berry'
Even though this isn't technically a beauty favourite, I feel like in a way it really is as it helps the
beauty shine on the outside by fueling it from the inside! This not only tastes amazing, this cool
green tea is full of antioxidants which has been so good at making me feel more myself lately
as me and the kids have been feeling run down and hellishly sick lately.
Quite literally in a face in the bucket butt in the bowl kinda way! Yukko! :(

Do we share any of the same favs?
