PRICELINE

2 DAY SKINCARE 40% OFF SALE!

MY PICKS!

Oh ma gaaaa! Priceline is having yet another sale! This time with 40% of skincare! Woot woot!

Sale begins Tuesday 28th July - 29th July 2015!

You must know by now how obsessed I am with my skincare with me having featured many brands

and shared with you many of my various skincare routines over the past two years.

Now I am going to share with you what I recommend picking up at this mega quick 2 day sale and

what's on my wish list to get!

MY RECOMMENDATIONS -

ANTIPODES Ananda Antioxidant Rich Gentle Toner
I recently reviewed this gentle toner and have been using it on and off in between testing out
new products which land on my desk here at CandyFairy HQ. ;) It's beautiful and very relaxing
and uplifting. Well worth taking a chance on for such a bargain with the 40% off.

CLEAN & CLEAR Morning Burst Skin Brightening Facial Scrub
I can definitely vouch for this product as I recently finished it up and will feature in my empties
at the end of the end. So having gone through a whole tube of it, I can say I did not tire of it once!
It feels so nice with the bursting beads which are soft and smell a-mazing! (Review!)

SUKIN Purifying Facial Masque
After trying out a whole range of Sukin products which I have review here. This facial masque was
a stand out favourite. Deeply cleansing my pores and removing all of the yucky stuff. You can really
feel this masque working and it feels great and very satisfying!

SUKIN Hydrating Mist Toner
Mist toners have been a new regular part of my daily beauty routine only over about the past year or
so and I have never looked back. They are so hydrating and refreshing to use throughout the day,
especially when it is humid or you skin is feeling wind swept of particularly dry. Love it first thing in
the morning most though.

DR.LEWINNS Ultra R4 Ultimate Lift Serum
I have found serums to be so essential to my routine now a days with my skin beginning to noticeably
age. Noooo! So sad, but evidently true and virtually un-stoppable. Serums such as this one
particularly does help slow down or at least appear to slow down the process some what. My skin
looks a whole lot more youthful when I use this continually over a period of at least a week or more. (Review!)

NEUTROGENA Pore Refining Exfoliating Cleanser
Fast approaching my mid thirties, my skin still suffers from occasional acne and it drives me around
the bend! If it weren't for products like this one to keep my skin in check I would be a mess. Love it
and the pore refining is a nice added bonus. (Review!)

NIVEA Pure & Natural Cleansing Toner
This traditional cleansing toner I love using after cleansing and before moisturising to remove any
excess makeup my cleanser might have missed and it also tightens up my pores and doesn't dry out
my skin like some toners can do. (Review!)

CLEARASIL Oil Free Daily Gel Wash
This is a good old fav! Having first tried this thanks to Beautyheaven quite a few years ago.
You can catch my review here. This gel wash is great for acne prone or oily skin. It it so light and
foamy and just works - full stop! Love it!

PURETOPIA Sensitive Care Soothing & Comforting Facial Moisturiser
I have been loving this facial moisturiser this Winter when the elements and air can be extra harsh on
my skin. Created especially for sensitive skin types, it feels very loving and soothing on my skin.
It keeps my skin feeling soft and looking dewy and fresh all day even in the harsh chilly air. (Review!)

YES TO CARROTS Daily Facial Moisturiser
This is the most recent addition to my skincare routine and so far a stand out winner for me.
It smells amazing and I cannot wait to share my full review of it with you. Coming soon!

DOVE Go Fresh Facial Cleanser w/Cucumber & Green Tea
I have been a Dove consumer for as long as I have been washing my face! For as long as I can
remember I have always had Nivea products in my bathroom having caught the addiction from my
older sister who used them first. This one is especially delicious and enjoyable with it's cucumber
and green tea scents and ingredients. (Review!)

INDEED LABS Nanoblur
This is one of my all time favourite facial perfecting skin primers. It does an unbelievable job at
smoothing out my skin and concealing any imperfections. I find it easy to work with and totally
worth every cent! (Review!)

May Favourites 2014!

~ May Favourites 2014! ~

Clearasil Vitamins & Extracts Daily Face Scrub!
Such a refreshing only slightly fruity scent to wake up to in the morning.
Contains soothing avocado and fruity pomegranate which smells
totally delish and done an amazing job to exfoliate away all those
icky dead skin cells. More abrasive than most scrubs, but I love that
as it feels like it's really getting in there and doing its job.
Read my mini review post here!

Arbonne Lipstick in Candy Friandise
I don't think I've reached for any other lipstick this month.
The colour is just so wearable for all occasions any time of the day.
It is so moisturizing I don't even need to add a balm or gloss.
See the makeup look I created, swatch & full review here!

Mitchum Clinical Protection 48hr Deodorant in Pure Fresh
Not only does this deodorant actually work for the full 48 hours,
this particular scent it so so nice! I think it must be the Aloe listed
in the ingredients as I can't pin point exactly what I am smelling.
But it's gorgeous and not at all overpowering like a lot Of
deodorants can be.
Read my full review of the range here!

Watch my video review of the new range below!

Face Of Australia Liquid Eyeliner in Black
I purchased this with my points in the last Beautorium
because my Master Precise Liquid Liner by Maybelline was drying up.
I prefer liquid liners over pencil or gel and this one has a nice thin
brush which makes it easier to create your desired line or wing effect.
Want to see what else I purchased during the last Beautorium?

Colgate Maximum Cavity Protection Toothpaste in Clean Mint
Not much more I can say but perfect!
Affordable, refreshing taste, does the job.
Loving it!
Read my blog post review here!

Napoleon Perdis Jet Set Palette
Full of 18 neutral eyeshadow shades,
Four blush/bronzing shades and 4 glossy lip shades in a fantastic
colour range from nude, light brown with slight pink tones, a
 peachy red with orange undertones and a stunning maroon brown.
All subtle but give, so much life to naked lips.
I have found the little mirror a lifesaver when travelling or on the go as well!

Used these up from my trial with L'Oréal. 

Loved them and they smell great!

I have so many shampoo and conditioner bottles

so I am keen to get in a finish up a few more different brands

Hopefully I can feature some in next months empties!

Great brand and wonderful product.

Second tube of this all gone.

Haven't had a single break out, surprised and very pleased!

Used up two boxes of this beautiful dye.

Trialling it as part of the BH VTT. 

Won't give away too much yet.

Clearasil Daily Face Scrub

Clearasil

Daily Vitamins & Extracts

Daily Face Scrub!

Recently I was fortunate enough to win a tube of this

amazing Clearasil Vitamins & Extracts Daily Face Scrub from

the beautiful Sarah over at the All Her Pretty Little Things Blog!

I absolutely love this scrub as well as the wash also available in this

cleansing range so today I am going to share with you my thoughts

and some info on the product.

What I love most about this scrub is that it is quite abrasive but feels

absolutely amazing on your skin! The formula is super thick and very

creamy and smells so fresh and feels very soothing. 

You don't need to use a lot of product for each use, so this

product is excellent value for money as it will last you ages.

Click here to shop this product!

Does your skin benefit from a good scrub?

What is your fav face scrub at the moment?

Thank you again Sarah for hosting such a fun little giveaway

and of course for picking me as the winner!

I am very grateful!

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend & I hope you'll enjoy the week ahead.

Love CandyFairy!

My Current Skincare Routine - Face & Body!

1. Palmolive Body Butter in Luscious Mango

This is my second bottle of this and I absolutely love it!
It smells like mango ice cream and is just as creamy!
A very thick formula that leaves my skin smelling super yummy and feeling extra soft.

2. Clearasil Vitamins & Extracts Daily Face Wash

Also onto my second tube, this daily wash keeps
my skin clean and clear without drying it out.
It's also super creamy in texture and doubles as a mask, awesome!

3. Avon Foot Works Cracked Heel Relief Cream

This is a product I've been using for many years and
it never fails to deliver. I often forget about my feet
and this quickly gets them back to looking like new!

4. Olay Oil Minimizing Toner 

I received this in my Blogstar prize pack and this is a new
product for me. I've used a few Olay things before but never their toners.
I am quite enjoying this and will continue to use it and
probably purchase a replacement once it's run out.

5. Garnier Roll On For Eyes

This feels so good all around the eye area on the skin of course!
It feels cool and soothing, especially after a long day.
It is also wonderful at waking up tired and sleepy eyes.

6. Dove Foaming Makeup Remover 

Good old Dove! I have been using Dove products
for as long as I've been using, well products!
This is gentle yet effective!
Watch my video review of this Makeup Remover here!

7. Lanolips Herbal Treatment Body Oil
This product is fantastic for super dry skin
as well as skin with scaring or stretch marks.
After 2 kids, my stomach sure has seen better days,
now if never sees the light of day as I
wouldn't want to scar anyone who saw it...
ahah, yeah get it, 'scar.'
Ahem, anyho, it has done a remarkable job so far at
at least minimising the angry red lines. So I'm a happy chappy! :)

8. Vaseline Hand & Nail Lotion

An oldie but a goodie!
You can count on Vaseline when it comes to any of their
products. I've found this one to be my favourite.
Does the job well and I will continue to use this I think forever.

9. Neutrogena Pore Refining Exfoliating Cleanser 

Slowly getting through this product.
Lucky enough to trial this through Beautyheaven and
completely love it! My pores are one of my biggest pet peeves
and this has helped a great deal.
Watch my video review of this cleanser here!

10. Kora Organics Day & Night Creme
Just the smell of this product scream natural!
It is just divine and feels amazing on your skin.
I love this product so much! It is very pricey though,
I was lucky enough to nab it off OzSale for about half the price,
so I am trying to make it last.
Read my dedicated blog post review for this product here!

11. Nivea Pure & Natural Body Lotion

I have used quite a few of the products from this Pure & Natural range,
and absolutely can recommend them totally!
They just work and feel and smell great!
Watch my video on some of the products from the Pure & Natural range here!

January Favourites!

So even though I am a little late I've decided to start off my first official blog post with my January favs! I've had quite a few, so I hope you enjoy! 

My first fav from last month which is one of the many products I was fortunate enough to receive in my Blogstar prize pack is the Batiste Dry Shampoo, but not just any Batiste dry shampoo, the NEW Sassy & Daring Wild edition! This comes in a mega 200ml spray can with some sexy leopard print to boot. Of all the dry shampoos I have tried (and there are many) this has got to be the best smelling one. The ingredients do not give me any hints with how I could describe it, but I can tell you that it isn't sickly sweet or citrusy, but more a musky/floral that lingers subtly throughout the day like you have freshly washed hair. It also does a great job at added extra body and texture to your hair. 

Next up is the Clearasil Vitamins & Extracts Daily Face Wash which contains Avocado & Pomegranate extracts, Vitamin E as well as antioxidants. All that good stuff for your skin. I have to admit I was skeptical at first with this product because my skin is acne prone and breaks out the second I stop using something my skin decides it likes. From past experiences a thick cream cleanser like this one has never worked at keeping the zits at bay. I usually find that something clear, foamy & with a semi hard scrub in it works the best. (With the exception of my all time holy grail product Phisohex which is a white creamy consistency which I swear by!) Currently I am onto my second tube of this and my skin hasn't broken out once! I have been pleasantly surprised & an added bonus with this product is that it can also be used as a facial mask. First 2 in 1 product I've seen like this, very innovative and clever. 

When it comes to body oils that claim to help with the appearance of stretch marks I am the first one there trying it out. I have 2 absolutely amazing kids who I cherish,  but growing them inside my body for 9 months each has left it's mark (or should I say stretch marks) pretty much all over my abdomen.  Even though I moisturised twice a day AND used Bio Oil all throughout my pregnancies I guess my body or genes, or whatever has control over how my body/skin reacts to the rapid stretching decided it was just going to scar no matter what I did. So when I saw this lovely minty green coloured 60ml bottle of Lanolips Lovely Lanolin Herbal Treatment Body Oil it was one of the first products I tried the day I opened my Blogstar prize box & I haven't stopped using it since. It has a very milk herbal scent and is oily when first applied but doesn't take long for it to absorb into the skin. After approximately 2 months my stretch marks are nowhere near as red and angry looking. They have faded quite a bit so I am very happy! 

Ok I admit it, I am a perfume addict and hoarder who can't resist a pretty bottle. So when Beautyheaven included this in my prize haul I was beyond excited as it has actually been years since I've been able to splurge on a perfume. I am a big fan of all Marc Jacobs perfumes but this is the first I have owned all to myself. 💜 The bottle is so delicate and like no other. It is very unique and beyond cute! The scent is to die for! I feel like it is a universal scent that most would enjoy. I would love to get the Honey scented one to match, they'd make such an adorable couple wouldn't you agree? 

Since wearing nail polish for as long as I can remember, even at my private school when if was considered some kind of sin, you can imagine I have tried just about every brand under the sun. Only recently in the past 3 years or so have I discovered OPI. They take the crown in my opinion. They have about a million shades released that I cannot even begin to keep up with. They are always keeping things interesting by releasing new ranges & collaborating with various celebs to keep reaching out to their customers new and old. It never gets boring with OPI. My collection is minimal compared to some. OPI rrp here is Australia is $19.95. More expensive than most other brands. Most of my polishes from this brand have either been given to me or bought on sale. A rare few I spoilt myself with. One of my latest purchases is this one which has become my fav polish for January called Russian Navy. This navy blue shade looks more of a dark purple in the bottle which I was quite surprised by when I received it in the mail from Adore Beauty. None the less, it did not disappoint. The colour is so vibrant and looks flawless once applied with just one coat. 

When it comes to highlighting, this is not something I always do. Nine times out of ten whenever I need to get ready I have very minimal time to look human. But then I got hold of this little baby and now I just find it easier to keep this in my handbag and apply it in the car when out and about. That way I don't miss out on looking a little angelic every now and again. This highlighter duo is so pretty. The swatch doesn't do it justice. Without making you look too shiny and OTT, rather if you use a small amount just above your cheek bones it does a great job at highlighting them and giving you a dewy, fresh and pretty look. The other end of the wand is a brown mascara. Unfortunately I am not a fan of it. I never wear brown mascara to begin with, it just doesn't do enough for my short, sparse lashes, so it has to be black all the way for me. Also I found this mascara to be quite dried out when I received it, I'm not sure if it was just old stock or just the way it is. All is forgiven though because the highlighter more than makes up for it. MeMeMe Arch Angel. 

With cheap cosmetic brands like BYS I have bought less and less over the years and instead saved my money and steered more towards higher end brands that are better quality and last longer. I am now a quality more than the quantity girl that I used to be. But then, after participating in a makeup travelling box on Beautyheaven I came across this and thought it was absolutely beautiful I just couldn't let it go! I was quite surprised at how incredibly pigmented the shimmer is and how well is packs onto my eyelid creating a stunning, sun kissed at dawn kind of dreamy eye look. This stays and looks it's best when applied onto a white primer like NYX white shimmer eyeshadow base or jumbo eye pencil in Milk or Cottage Cheese.

I literally let out a childish squeal of delight when I first received the new L'Oreal Infailable lipsticks as my first reward for winning the best how-to video on Beautyheaven last year.  They are honestly incredible! I have never EVER come across a lipstick that actually stays glued to my lips all day no matter what I do. I swear you can wear these and you can kiss, eat, drink and go about your day and it will not come off! I found the best way to apply this is to start with the lipstick first and let it dry onto your lips. It feels very dry and a little uncomfortable like you've actually just painted your lips with paint, not lipstick, but I promise you if you just apply the lip balm that comes with the lipstick on the other end of the wand, your lips will instantly feel soft and normal again and you won't even feel like you're wearing anything at all! I tried applying the balm first, the the lipstick, but it just smudged and moved around on my lips. So if you're wondering how to go about applying this or thinking of investing in one, that is just my advice and experience. May I just also mention the range of shades available is suitable for just about every taste. This shade is Lasting Mauve. Perfect for everyday wear that can also work for a night time look.

Check out my youtube how-to video on these lipsticks here.

If you haven't ventured into the ChiChi world, you must be hiding under a rock because they have the most amazing, affordable range of fun and beautiful makeup you could imagine. I was lucky enough to win one of their many competitions held on Instagram and won their range of eye liners and lip liners. This particular lip liner in Legally Pink is by far my favourite. The colour is so barbie bright and looks AMAZING on your lips. I like the apply this all over for a major pop of colour either with a balm for a matt look or gloss for a super pretty shiny effect. The staying power is so good and the liner is retractable, so no messy sharpening which I personally don't like having to deal with. 

I have only started using concealer under my eyes in the last year as I've started to notice that well, lets just face it, I need it! I actually bought this from Tried And Tested's blog sale a little while ago for a bargain price and I highly recommend it. The Ivory shade is perfect for my light olive completion. It makes my face look much more awake and less like I've been up half the night with my newborn!

Blinc Cosmetics I feel like is a lesser known brand, but really should have the recognition it deserves. I actually won this eyeliner online (can't remember where) about 2 or so years ago and have only just recently started using it again. As you can see from my swatch is is still beautifully moist and hasn't shown any signs of drying out. The little tin cylinder is comes in may have helped to keep it going strong, I am not sure. But the vibrant blue shade compliments my dark brown eyes beautifully. I love eyeliners with a super small, thin wand. I find it much easier to apply this way. This eyeliner has amazing staying power (the swatch is still on my arm! I think I'm going to need makeup remover to remove it.) and doesn't smudge or fade. 

Phew, are we really done!? Thank you so much if you've gotten this far down the page! The month of January was a big one for me (I hit the big 30!) with lots of new products to try.

I hope you enjoyed my January Favourites! Let me know what yours were below in a comment or link me to yours, I would love to read about it! :)
