EL8TE



El8te Rose Skincare

Pure! Natural! Australian!

http://www.el8teaustralia.com.au
I love being an Aussie, but the heat is getting ridiculous! I am so over it, anyone else? I have always
loved winter and the cooler months and this year I am looking forward to it more than ever!

Speaking of being Aussie, today I thought I'd talk about another totally awesome all Australian
made and owned company and a few of their products I have been trying out over the past couple of
months called El8te Skincare.


Moisturising Hand & Body Wash - ($24.95 - 250ml)
This delightful multi-use product smells different to anything else I have tried and is very uplifting
and pretty. The formula is an almost clear and not too running when you pump it out of the dispenser.

I have been using this both in the shower, in the kids bath and as a hand wash in the kids bathroom
which we as a family all use as some point during the day! This product has been well loved and used
by us all and I have heard no complaints! I am really loving it, plus the elegant packaging doesn't hurt
to turn the kids bathroom into more of a grown up space.... at least when you look at where it sits on
the side of the sink and nowhere else! ;)

El8te also offer a range of products in charcoal & spearmint, rosemary & citrus as well as a skincare range just for babies! This particular range of goat's milk and rose is especially formulated for suit even the most sensitive of skin types.

This hand and body wash is very gentle and feels soft and milky on the skin. The scent it deliciously
rose with that slight milky fragrance. All ingredients are 100% natural and Australian which makes me feel good about supporting our Aussie companies!

Nourishing Hand & Nail Cream - ($34.95 - 75g)
I always apply hand cream right before going to sleep. I find this the best way for those richer, thick
creams to really soak in, soften and repair my skin as I sleep. This particular hand cream not only
moisturisers deep within the skin, slowing down the look of your ageing hands. With it's goat's milk
which contains a massive 50 essential nutrients as well as vitamins A, B5, C & E and folic acid it also
softens your cuticles and hardens your nails keeping them healthy on the inside and looking youthful,
smooth and shiny on the outside!

This hand and nail cream isn't your overly super thick kind, however that's not to say it doesn't work
just as well or isn't as rich in ingredients, as the results I have experienced have been really quite
wonderful! Being 33, my hands are beginning to show their age much more than my face! Even with
applying hand cream each night. During the day I am either at work using my hands all day long or at
home looking after two young kids and cleaning all day. All those chemicals and hand washing really
dries them out and I never experienced this until becoming a busy parent. 


El8te Skincare are cruelty free and do not test on animals! 
Their products are also free from synthetic fragrances, petrochemicals & colour additives! 

You can kind and purchase these products and more from their various ranges mentioned above 
directly online from their website. El8te Skincare can also be found in selected stores and some spas
Australia wide.

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.



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.
