EYE NECK FACE GEL

~ Australian Bush Flower Essences ~

Soothing Firming Eye Neck Face Gel

Calm & Clear
Love System

http://ausflowers.com.au/Eye-Neck-Face-Gel

I think the universe may be trying to tell me something. What with all the recent anti-ageing products I have been trying out lately. Particularly targeting to the face and neck area. Don’t get me wrong, I am more than a happy and willing participant! Being 32 my skin sure would use all the help it can get before I really start looking my age. In saying that this has actually come at a great time as recently I have noticed a weird saggy bit of skin smack bang in the middle of my neck just under my chin. Like seriously, really!? Argh, how did this happen? I thought sagging in the neck was decades away from happening, but apparently not. Boo! :(

Since the Christmas period I have been using this facial gel by ABFE in conjunction with my other daily skincare products and have not only really enjoyed the clear, smooth texture and refreshing, relaxing scent, the results have been a bonus too.

With ingredients including flower essences of -
Black Eyed Susan
Boronia
Bottlebrush
Bush Fuchsia
Crowea
Jacaranda
Little Flannel Flower
Paw Paw
She Oak

And infused with Aussie native plant extracts like Emu Bush, Kangaroo Apple & Quandong.

This 30ml easy to use pump style bottle sure goes a long way. With one dispensed pump as shown in the image above, this amount of product is quite a generous amount to gently massage into your face and neck area. I usually have enough left over and also apply this to my decollate area.

This and other Australian Bush Flower Essences products can be found in selected stores around Australia and directly from their website. The extensive range means you’re sure to find a range of products perfectly suited to your skin’s needs and concerns at an affordable price. You can also rest assured you are buying Aussie made and owned as well as organic and environmentally friendly and cruelty free. Can’t get much better than that!

Over the past couple of months using this up to five days a week I have noticed a nice change
in the appearance of my few light wrinkles. They are actually lighter and less obvious.
Sometimes natural really is best! Trust in the earth and mother nature I say!

This product retails for $24.95 + shipping

HYDRALURON

~ INDEED LABORATORIES ~

Hydraluron Moisture Jelly

Review!

http://www.indeedlabs.com

Are you one of those people who or have you ever thought it is just too darn hot to even think about lathering on a moisturiser in the sweltering Summer heat? I used to be that girl. In my teens and early

20's I lived in TFNQ and hardly ever even thought about moisturising my skin as the feeling after

applying was either suffocating or melty and gross.

Fast forward ten years (give or take a few) and living in a slightly less humid climate and more aware

of just how imperative it is not to skip this vital skincare step, I now lather whatever I can get my

hands on from head to toe religiously DAILY!

Including my face and that is where this lovely product comes in. :)

I have been using this tub of 30ml Moisture Jelly over the past couple of months and LOVING it!

Having previously used Indeed Labs Moisture Serum & Moisture Mask I am very familiar with the

brand now and know it is one I can count on and trust.

I don't suffer from dry skin, however I am more than aware of the fact that ageing skin often loses it's

high level of youthful moisture and can often become dry and age prematurely if not taken care of

with a little help from products such a this one.

This stuff goes such a long way. Like I said, I have been using it for months and still have a fair way

to go to get through the jar. You only need a pea size amount of product to replenish the moisture

levels on your skin on your face and neck. I use this both morning and night and began to really see

results after about a week and a half.

My skin appears more youthful, like a flower just bloomed. Well kinda, it just looks all pretty and

new, like I just crept back a few years and my cheeks are all plump and rosey all over again!

Something like that...

My skin is fairly normal. It isn't sensitive, dry nor oily. It just... is. And this works great with it!

The product soaks right in quickly and leaves my skin feeling softer.

Interested? You can pick this one up at your local Priceline or Terry White Chemist currently for

RRP: $39.99 (Buy!)

FACE AND BODY

~ Australian Bush Flower Essences ~

Love System

Gentle Purifying Mask & Exfoliating Cream!

It seems quite common now a days to find a wide range of different multi use products, however

I don't recall coming across too many exfoliating/mask products for both the face and body do you?

I am a big fan of this certified organic, Australian brand having previously tried and loved a range of

their Love System products already and honestly, simply can't get enough of them! All of their

products give off this amazing natural aroma which you can't mistake for anything but smelling like

Australia! I am proud to be fourth generation Aussie and both of my children make fifth in our family.

Australian Bush Flower Essences travel the country sourcing a diverse range of beautiful native

Australian flowers to use their essence in their products. I cannot stress enough how beautiful their

products feel on the skin, their are all so gentle and soothing, each with their own specific benefits,

their wide range means you are sure to find something that will work for you. See the full range here.

There is even a samplers pack if you just want to try out a few things first. :)

The latest I have been trying out has come at such a good time as I have gone far too long without

exfoliating my face and body, and I love the feeling of removing all those dead skin cells which build

up daily! I religiously cleanse and moisturising my whole body twice daily, however before using this

I knew it was time to start investing some of my time to scrubbing as my skin was beginning to feel

rough, a bit bumpy and just feeling a little bit blah.

This is a creamy formulation with deep red grains of natural bush flowers contains a mix of

Angelsword, Bauhinia, Billy Goat Plum, Bottlebrush, Five Corners, Flannel Flower & Fringed Violet.

This multi use product also moisturises your skin which is such an important factor after

exfoliation! Can also be left on longer as a mask
for a deep cleanse. Win win win!

Both the tube & box can be recycled and are available to purchase directly from the ABFE

website here for $22.95.

Also available at Planet Health in NSW and
a few select Practitioners nation wide.

How often do you conduct a full body exfoliation?

ANDREA GIVEAWAY (CLOSED!)

~ ANDREA ~

GENTLE CREME BLEACH

....for the face!

+ G I V E A W A Y ! !

_______________http://www.andreahairremoval.com.au_____________

I was first introduced to this brand and in particular this product last year through blogging and
since then I have been using a range of products by Andrea which have simply and conveniently
taken care of all my hair removal needs ever since.
You can find my reviews here & here. :)

When it comes to facial hair, I have been fairly lucky so far in my life to not have too much noticeable dark hair visible on my face, apart from my eyebrows. (I won't be bleaching those babies!)
That's not to say they won't start appearing as I get older but for now mainly because I am always
taking photographs of my face and filming close ups on my Youtube channel I like to make sure
none of those little hairs look monstrous when zoomed in for my close ups!

That's where this product comes in handy. It is so quick and easy to use and best of all pain free as
there is no wax involved in tearing at my tender facial skin. All you need to do it mix the Gentle
Creme Bleach & Gentle Creme Activator together in the mixing cup provided as per instructions
and apply and leave on for up to 10 minutes, rinse and you're good to go! It's that easy!

In celebration of Spring and de-fuzzing the body after our Winter skin hibernation, I have kindly
been provided one of these super awesome products to giveaway to one of you lucky readers plus
two extra products from Andrea Hair Removal! How exciting is that?! :)

BOE

~ BOE PROFESSIONAL ~

PRO FINISH BASE PRODUCTS!

http://www.boeprofessional.com.au

BB Cream and Concealer in Medium

This handy 2 in 1 product is so convenient to have in your makeup bag because it doesn't take up as

much room as two products PLUS is contains a sneaky little mirror inside the cap which also saves you

even more room because you're not also having to carry around a compact mirror. So really this is kind

of a 3 in 1 product!

When I received this in the shade Medium I was a little worried because usually in almost all kinds of

makeup products I always go for light or close to that. However when I swatched this and then blended

it into my hand it didn't appear as dark as I had imagined it would be so relief set in. Once applied to my

face it was actually a pretty close to perfect colour match! The BB Cream which is the bulk of the

product which is contained in the tube goes a long (and I mean looong) way! You only need smaller

than a pea size amount of product to cover your whole face which gives you a light coverage with all

of the benefits of a BB Cream. (Moisturising, skin perfecting, priming, smoothing, concealing and

evening.)

The concealer which is ironically concealed in the product's cap is there handy and ready to use so you

don't have to go digging through your makeup bag to find it. This concealer is super thick but blends

easily and does a pretty good job at hiding any spots or redness. Similar to the BB Cream, initially it

appears a bit orange when first applied but don't worry once it is all blended in it looks just like your

skin colour. Or it did for me at least, phew! :)

Available in Fair, Medium & Medium Deep

RRP: $12.95

Eye Brightener Pen

This is the first eye brightening pen I have ever used. I have used under eye concealers in the past and

most have worked great, however I am in love with the illuminating effect this particular product gives.

I often have late nights as a mum of two toddles, plus working on my blog and Youtube channel and it

doesn't stop there! My husband and I also run our own business so things are always super busy and we

are always staying up late working together to make sure things get done. Needless to say I don't always

look bright and wide eyed in the morning or during the day for that matter and I'm not ashamed to admit

I need a bit of help and products like this one make an amazing difference!

Same as the BB Cream, a little goes a super long way with this Corrector Pen! RRP: $9.95

I am lucky that my eyes don't get too dark underneath them, however you can tell when I haven't had

enough sleep and since using this pen it really does conceal the slight purple tint and when used on

the lid of my eyes it also hides any veins showing through the thin skin on that delicate area.

Another great trick is to use a tiny spot of this blended on the inner corner of your eyes to really help to

open them up so they appear slightly larger. This is a step which helps me out a lot as my eyes are not

naturally as large as I would like.

High Definition Finishing Powder

I have to admit I have been pretty hopeless when it comes to finishing powders and makeup setting

products in the past. I just haven't been bothered to use them. Boy have I been missing out!

RRP: $9.95

Designed to create camera ready skin, I only wish I'd started using this years ago when I first began

making Youtube videos and continued through until now as you really can see the difference it makes

to your skin. It completely soaks up any oiliness without looking like I have dry skin. The formulation

doesn't cake or set into your creases or pores, it just makes everything look smoother and even so the

best version of you can really shine through. I LOVE this stuff!

Boe Professional products are available to purchase exclusively at Big W Australia.

EMERGENCY HAIR REMOVAL

~ PARTY SEASON! ~

EMERGENCY

PAIN FREE & FAST

HAIR REMOVAL!

Weather it's a work Christmas party, family get together, New Years celebrations or just

your typical Aussie summer beach day, then chances are you don't want to have to worry

about any unwanted hair poking out in inappropriate places!

This is where products like these from Andrea (listed below!) come to your rescue!

They've got you covered from head to toe with both their Face & Body depilatory cream

formulations!

Super effective and best of all PAIN FREE!

YAY!

Andrea

Gentle Hair Remover

(FACE!)

RRP: $18.95

No one will ever have to know you get that pesky stray hair here or there or even if there are more,
keep it a secret by using Andrea's Gentle Hair Remover depilatory cream. It comes complete with an
easy to use small, white plastic spatula to make application precise and clean. Simply apply
generously to your unwanted hair and dampen the skin. Leave to sit for approx 5 to 8 minutes max.
Gently wipe cream and hair away for a warm damp cotton ball, wipe or facial washer and
then apply the Skin Smoothing Creme immediately afterwards to soothe and moisturise the area.

I have personally found this works perfectly on my upper lip and stray eyebrow hairs that grow
awol out toward my hairline. The cream feels completely fine on my skin and I wasn't sensitive
to it at all which is imperative when dealing with the delicate skin around the face!
It completely took care of my stay hairs and left my skin smooth and soft after the Skin Smoothing
Creme was applied. The hair has been gone for weeks! This is so much better than waxing!

Andrea

Gentle Hair Remover

(BODY!)

RRP: $18.95

If you prefer to dodge the pain of waxing, especially if you've been cursed with an uber amount
of unwanted body hair, even if it is course then this is your saviour! Specially formulated to remove
even the most stubborn of hairs with ease, this cream is so amazingly good!

I love how easy it is to just smooth the product over the hairs and all you need to do is
just sit back, have a cuppa and wait 3 to 5 (15 minutes max!) minutes and wa-la!
You are totally hair free! Too easy!

The Skin Smoothing Creme also comes in handy to help restore the pH balance to the skin in the
area where the hair has been removed and also moisturises and soothes. It feels great!

There is barely any smell to these products. No hot or cold sticky mess and absolutely no pain!
I am loving this alternative to waxing during the Summer time, and for the bargain price, this is
much cheaper than most waxing products and definitely many coins cheaper then baring
all to a complete stranger in a beauty salon!
DIY has never been easier!
