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!

TRILOGY SKINCARE


TRILOGY

Cream Cleanser 
& 
Make-Up Be Gone Cleansing Balm

Review!

 http://www.trilogyproducts.com/au

 Trilogy Make-Up Be Gone Cleansing Balm 
80ml $38.95
This kind of product is completely new to me! Can you believe this beauty blogger has never before
used a Cleansing Balm?! Needless to say I was very intrigued to try this one out as Trilogy is a brand
I have used quite a bit in the past after winning a huge hamper of their products a few years ago on
Facebook. (Thank you Trilogy!)

This product is unique in a few ways. Firstly you have your very own organic cotton cleansing cloth
 included in the box. The ingredients are all natural and the scent is a mild yet deliciously satisfying
 blend of mango seed butter and coconut oil. This New Zealand, all natural, cruelty free brand is
 middle of the range affordable, gentle on the skin and supports ethical trade practices.

This cleansing makeup remover is a thick, solid oily wax in a jar. To use, I place two clean fingers
onto the balm and as it quickly begins to melt beneath my fingers I dig about a twenty cent size
amount out and divide it between two fingers on my other hand and begin to massage it onto my face.

This really is a wondrous product as it removes even the most heaviest of my makeup wearing days.
As I massage the product into my skin, foundation, eye shadow, eye liner, mascara and lipstick all
melt away with ease. No need for excessive rubbing and all of this is then wiped away with the
organic cotton cleansing cloth leaving my skin so soft and hydrated. After doing this, I still feel a
small amount of residue on my face, so I follow afterwards with my usual facial cleanser, serum
and night cream, etc! The most impressive and quite surprising part of this routine I would have to
 say would be how easily this balm removes even my waterproof mascara and colour stay 24hr liquid
lipsticks!

The cleansing cloth can just be rinsed out with warm soapy water, left to dry and re-used again
and again.



Trilogy Cream Cleanser 
100ml $22.95
To see how these two products would go working together. Whilst testing out the Make-Up Be Gone
Cleansing Balm, I decided I might as well use this cleanser after it and then also use this cleanser in
the mornings before applying any makeup. The results have been really quite good actually!

With ingredients including rosehip, which Trilogy are known for using in so many of their products.
Works to hydrate, strengthen and repair the skin. There is also evening primrose seed oil which treats
 dry and damaged skin repairing the cells and looks after the new ones. Carrot is full of powerful
 antioxidants and also works in protecting the skin from everyday elements. This product is suitable
 for all skin types including those highly sensitive.

The cleanser is creamy and milky on the skin. It leaves my skin gently cleansed yet still effectively
 cleansed as well as feeling soft and visibly refreshed and brighter.


The official Trilogy website where you can shop the products directly online offer an easy and
generous rewards program. So if you are interested in stocking up or trying out this brand be sure to
CLICK HERE to sign up and go shopping!

You can also find Trilogy products in store at Priceline, Myer and some pharmacies and health food stores.

MASLOWANDCO


~  MASLOW & CO  ~
Beauty Box
New Zealand Edition
Unboxing!
 I have always wanted to travel over to New Zealand. My husband backpacked over there for a few
months right before we met and hasn't stopped raving about it's beauty ever since! One day we plan
on visiting for a family holiday. Myself and the kids are especially excited to see the snow!

So it comes as absolute no surprise how completely thrilled I am to be delving into this very special
New Zealand edition of Maslow & Co's beauty box!


I recently stumbled across Maslow & Co on Instagram and fell in love with their subscription box
service! Each month you can receive a box filled with beautiful products from a different city from
anywhere in the world! How's that for keeping things interesting?!

I am familiar with a few of the brands in this box, however others are completely new to me so
make sure you are subscribed to my Youtube channel and stay tuned for a video unboxing plus a very
special product demonstration video using all of the products from this box! In the meantime you are
welcome to watch my unboxing video below!


So let's get into the box! For only $44 you completely get your monies worth right here ten fold!
This box alone is worth an RRP of $238.05! An annual subscription will only cost you $240!

Sans [Ceuticals] Baobab Regenerative Body Cream (50ml)
Not only does this full body cream improve the skin's density, elasticity and increase the skin's
natural collagen production. It also can be use to treat skin conditions such as psoriasis and
eczema.

Contains Baobab oil, vitamin E, A and omega oils. Perfect travel or handbag size. I am actually
keeping this beside my bed for hand cream whenever I need it! (S40.05)

Evolu Anti-aging Day Cream (75ml)
I go through day creams and moisturisers like anything so I am so happy to be able to try this new
one from Evolu. It sounds like my skin could really benefit from it. I am constantly lacking in rest
and sleep and in turn my skin does look a bit on the dull side, so I am glad this product says it helps
with that! Also being anti ageing is great because I am all about fighting that loud ticking clock!
($55.00)

Ethique Lime & Ginger Body Polish (100g)
Upon opening this box the aroma coming up and surrounding me was both awakening and very fresh.
I believe to majority of the smell was coming from this product with contains a powerful punch of
lime and ginger.

The bar itself feels a bit greasy when held which is from the ginger oils. Also contains cocoa butter
and bamboo powder. I cannot wait to use this! I love body polishes and usually scrub up at least every
second day. I hate the thought of dead skin cells just sitting on the surface of my body, so I love to
scrub up from head to toe most days. ($20.00)

Martina Organics Oil Cleanser (30ml)
This is one of my favourite products in the whole box! If you watch my video above, when I first
tested it on my skin, I was surprised that it completely absorbed into my skin! It left no residue and
left my skin feeling really hydrated and soft.

It says to use with warm water and wash off. However I would happily use this to moisturise my dry
areas. This power oil does a lot - treats acne, clears out your pores, helps to reduce redness and
scarring, hydrates, removes excess makeup and sebum and of course cleanses the skin. ($29.00)

Linden Leaves Intensive Repair Eye Cream (15ml)
The ingredient list of this product is short and pure. I am so impressed with this and have already
began using it! With only organic white tea, melon extract, aloe vera, and echium seed oil listed in
this product, it is refreshing to find an effective eye product that is so natural with no chemicals.

Soothes, ageing and tired eyes. This sounds like me in a nut shell! Bring on the soothing please!
($45.00)

Antipodes Chia & Kiwi Seed Superfood Serum (30ml)
I have tried Antipodes products before and found them to be really lovely and I find droppers
and serums in general great. my skin loves them and responds well.

This product is meant to be super moisturising and full of all the good stuff your skin loves
like essential fatty acids, antioxidants, vitamins C & E and omega 3. ($49.00)

If you like what you see you can sign up for your very own Maslow & Co subscription either
bi-monthly at $44 per box or annually at $40 per box!

If you do feel like treating yourself to an annual subscription as my lovely readers you can use my
very special code CANDYFAIRY at checkout & you will also receive your very own NZ box as a
bonus! But be quick because this offer is only open until May 31st!


Stay tuned as I will also be reviewing for you Maslow & Co's next box which will be products from
the USA!

ANTIPODES


~  ANTIPODES  ~
Scientific Organic Beauty!

You know how I love my beauty cuboard to be overflowing with different brands, products and
options to change up my skincare routine at a moments notice. Hey, a woman has the right to
change her mind whenever she wants, am I right ladies?! ;)

So here I am with another exciting and beautiful brand and two of their products I have chosen to
use to shake up my regular skincare routine of late. Two products which I am proud to use, own
and now share with you as I feel like these deserve some pretty high praise!

Antipodes - Reincarnation Pure Facial Exfoliator
I have mentioned before that I am one of those women who loves exfoliating and will use just
about any type of scrub I can get a hold of because I just love the feeling of freshly scrubbed, smooth
and rejuvenated skin after having scubbed away all of those dead skin cells which build up daily!
So you can imagine how your skin would look and feel if you skipped this vital step in
your skincare routine. Likely, rough, dry and looking uneven and generally dull and unhealthy,
even though there is fresh, new skin just under the surface just dying to shine through.

This particular exfoliator is exceptionally lovely to use because it is super thick in consistancy as
you can see from my swatch below. The thick white cream is a mixture of caring, organic
ingredients including - Avocado Oil, Marigold Flower Oil, Carrot Seed Extract & Cedarwood
and Sweet Orange Essential Oils. These combined not only smell amazing with the sweet
orange being the dominant flavour, it feels incredibly good on your skin. The super fine grains
 feel almost like sand, yet more ground down so it is extra gentle but still highly effective.



Antipodes - Ananda Antioxidant-Rich Gentle Toner
Toners are an absolute must have for my skin. I have oversized pores which annoy the crap out of
me and I have always found toners to work wonders at not only deeply cleansing the gunk out of
them but also do an exceptional job at tightening them up and shrinking them when used regularly.

Over the years as new brands and companies have released a broad array of toner types, many
have begun to learn toward the natural, organic and more natural route. This is one of the reasons
why I am so fond of Antipodes and this product especially because it is doing the job and doing it
gently, effectively and without stipping or damaging my skin in the long run.

It is no suprise this product has been a previous winner in Harper's Bazaar's Beauty Awards.
With ingredients including - Natural minerals found in 15,000 year old Walwera artesian water
found in New Zealand, (Wow, impressive!) Omega, Raspberry Seed Extract, Aloe Vera, Anti-
inflemmatory Marshmellow, (Yum!) Mamaku Black Fern, Bulgarian Rose Oil as well as the
juice from thousands of hand picked roses, this product has me hooked, line and sinker!

Usually I find spray toners to be a hugely refreshing pick me up in the Summer months when it
is super humid, however I have found this to also be the perfect wake up call in the mornings after
cleansing before moisturising to really wake up my face and ignite my scenses. It feels soothing,
refreshing, cool and really adds to lost moisture back into my skin.
