SALLY HANSEN


SALLY HANSEN

Delicate Decadence Collection!

http://au.sallyhansen.com

I am one of those people who feel naked and 'not ready yet' unless my nails have been painted and 
I have some kind of makeup on before leaving the house. Even if it's just bb cream, lip balm and
mascara. Being a girl is the best fun and I love having the freedom and passion to be able to do these
things.

So if you're anything like me then you'll love these Sally Hansen 2-step gel nail polishes which are
made up of half regular nail lacquer and half gel formula which gives you the shine, bold colour and
long lasting result of an expensive professional gel manicure without the need for an LED light and
these are WAY easier to remove! They glide off just like normal nail polish which is much gentler on
your nails at the end of the day and keeps them strong and healthy.

This new collection of shades from the 'Delicate Decadence' collection consists of 6 shades.
Mauve-olous and Wine Stock (not pictured) as well as Plush Blush, Regal Rose, Pink Up and
Prince Char-mint. (Front top left to right pictured below)



These polishes give a beautiful shine even on their own without the gel top coat, however I have
found using the top coat makes all the difference in making these last twice as long and gives an
even higher glossier shine. Highly recommend not going without it!

Sally Hansen nail lacquers are available to purchase from Priceline, Priceline Pharmacy, Target,
Chemist Warehouse and Terry White Chemists Australia wide for a current RRP $16.95 each.

L'OREAL


L'OREAL PARIS

Infallible Pastel Gel Nail Duo Colour
&
Color Riche Brights Trio

Swatches & Review!

L'Oreal Paris Pastel Duel Ended Gel Nail Lacquers!

This new range of L'Oreal nail polishes are so great because you really get everything you need all 
in one place! With the The pastel duel ended gel nail lacquers which have the base coat and the top 
coat all in one! The duel ended packaging houses the two polishes in each end which come out easily 
and look just like the regular Le Vernis L'Oreal polishes you can buy individually.
I have recently been loving my 3 new shades in #42 "Unlimited Lollipink", #40 "Marshmallow Power" and #43 "Endless Candyheart" which are all pastel light shades and oh so pretty! My favourite being the Unlimited Lollipink!


#42 Unlimited Lollipink

#40 Marshmallow Power

#43 Endless Candyheart

The gel formula is quite thick so I like to apply two thin coats over the clear base first. However one single thick coat will also work well and either way the polish dries super fast which is fantastic for such a thick formulation!
These also do not have a hugely potent nail varnish scent which is handy when getting in close for a nice neat finish or when you're doing nail art! Personally the scent of nail polish barely resonates with my nose, however I am thankful with these are the hubby and cat aren't big fans! 
These have a nice thin to medium shaped brush and the long cubed shade makes them easy to store. Alternatively you can also just pop them out of each end and store them with the rest of your Le Vernis polishes of the same size to keep your collection looking uniform.

Each retails for $12.95 each available at Priceline stores & online.


L'Oreal Paris Color Riche Brights!

On the opposite end of the colour wheel are these stunning new brights in the shades #240 Pop Corn,
#242 Pink O Pop and #241 Cloud Wow. Like the pastels above, these too have a pretty thick formula
making them knock you out right away with one simple coat of lacquer.

The bottles are a cute 5ml each making them scarily easy to collect and store without taking up a ton
of space! These are a great new addition to the regular shades and glitter top coats already available.

Each retail for only $3.98 each available at Priceline stores and online.


#240 Pop Corn

#242 Pink O Pop

#241 Cloud Wow

EYE NECK FACE GEL

~  Australian Bush Flower Essences  ~

Soothing Firming Eye Neck Face Gel

Calm & Clear
Love System
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

REAL-U


~  REAL-U BEAUTY  ~

http://real-u.com.au


Going through my teens, like most I suffered from acne. It all began at age 11 and since then has
been an on off relationship which I just can't seem to break away from. Even heading into my mid
thirties! I wouldn't have though I'd still be suffering from breakouts at this age, but yep, it still
happens, thankfully nowhere near as bad as when I was a teen, however still just as un-welcome and
annoying!

Recently I have been using Real-U products as my main source in my everyday routine. They are
Australian and not just for teens as my skin has been benefiting from their range too! :)
The three products I have been using twice daily are these ones below which I will talk about more,
but if you're interested in the details of each product you can check out my image below of the back
of each product. All of their products are hypo-allergenic, free from harsh ingredients such as ones I
have been guilty of using in the past including benzoyl peroxide ad salicylic acid.

 

CLEANSE - Gentle Foaming Wash!
The first product I want to chat to you about is Real-U's Gentle Foaming Wash. This is the first step
in my new routine which I start with each morning when I wake up. You can really feel the difference
when you use use this product especially afterwards when drying your face. The ph balanced formula
which also contains Aloe Vera keeps your skin at a healthy moisture balance, so it cleanses without
drying whilst still being effective at removing the excess oil, dirt and built up polluteons from the air
which has a tendency to stick deep into the pores making them look black, large and gross! Like with
most cleansers you just add a splash of water to get the cleanser foaming up ready to work onto your
face. Rinse well and pat dry.

CONTROL + Face Gel!
This next step is interesting to me because normally I would use a toner now before moisturising.
So to use a Face Gel (similar to a Serum) was quite cool for a change and might I add very effective!
This Gel is specifically formulated for non teenage skin (that's me!) which still breaks out or is just
persistently naughty! I have used a product like this in the past and I don't know why I ever stopped
because to me, I feel like this product was the most beneficial to my skin when it came to killing my
nasty monthly spots. I especially noticed a big difference first thing in the morning after applying this
at night after a few days. My skin had really calmed down considerably!

HYDRATE - Lite Moisturiser!
I am actually not opposed to a thick, heavy moisturiser especially for a night cream. However this
Lite Moisturiser is perfect is you skin is normally extra greasy or oily and the last thing you want to
do is add even more moisture to it making you feel like a shiny egg. This moisturiser feels so very
light on your skin and it soaked right in that I even considered applying it again on a few occasions to
make sure I was really getting enough! This product is awesome because after applying I can go
straight onto starting my makeup routine without having to wait for my skin to dry and at night I can
go right to bed without feeling like my moisturiser is going to transfer onto my pillow.

These products are available to purchase from the Real-U website and currently retail for the prices
listed below!

Gentle Foaming Wash 100ml $15
Face Gel 100ml $50
Lite Moisturiser 100ml $20

The Face Gel is also available in smaller 50ml or 10ml sample size tubes which are priced below.

Face Gel 50ml $30
Face Gel Sample 10ml $5
How cute are the little Control+ Face Gel samples? Adorable! If you want to try anything from the
range this is the one I recommend the most and for just the cost of postage ($5) you can't go wrong!



Real-U is a thoughtful brand who really just want the 'Real You!' as the name suggests to shine and
have the confidence to be yourself without having acne holding you back from living your fullest life.

This is a topic I think most people male and female can relate to at some point in their lives and it
definitely rings true to me. I highly recommend these products since using them over the past month.
I only wish I'd known about them sooner especially when I was in my awkward teen years and when
I was very shy and my acne was just killing my confidence and making it worse.



Check out the rest of the range below! This is just a sneak peak, I suggest you head on over to their
website to learn more. :)

NEUTROGENA


~  NEOTROGENA  ~

HYDRO BOOST

WATER GEL!


http://www.neutrogena.com.au


I have never suffered from dry skin, however no matter what your skin type may be all skin
naturally loses it's natural moisture throughout the day and needs to be replenished.

I do what I can by aiming to consume the recommened 8 glasses of water a day. I admit that I
usually fail dismally at doing this, so knowing that I am at least lathering on some of this Water
Gel by Neutrogena which doubles the moisture levels in your skin within just one hour makes me
feel a lot better!


This Water Gel is lightly fragranced and feels light and weightless on your skin. It must soak right
into my skin because by the time I have screwed the lid back on and reached for my foundation for
the day I can not feel any trace of it on my skin, yet my skin feels soft, smooth and supple.

The sky blue non sticky gel slowly keeps on releasing moisture into your skin throughout the day for
a full 24 hours! I have been applying this in the morning after cleansing my face and before make-up
all over my whole face, neck and chest area. If I had a particularly dry area anywhere on my body 
I would apply it there too!


This 50g tub is plastic yet looks like clear, crystal blue glass. (ie, expensive looking, not cheap!)
So it shouldn't break or shatter if you happen to drop it or have an accident.

Dermatologist Tested & Oil Free!

Neutrogena Water Gel is available to purchase from Priceline, Chamist Warehouse, Target,
Terry White Chemists & Amcal Pharmacy in Australia to name a few and currently retails
for $24.99 (Or a few bucks cheaper if you shop around!)

SKLEER


~  SKLEER  ~

Skin Restoration Gel





This multi-purpose all in one gel is a must have essential in any beauty cupboard!
Combating some of the top most common & frustrating skincare problems. Let me give you a quick
rundown of what this baby can do and be used for!

- Zapping zits
- Clearing black heads
- Fades sun & age spots
- Deep moisture for extra dry skin
- Use on insect bites
- Nappy rash
- Burns
- Hives
- Skin rashes
- Abrasions
- Sunburn
- Chafing
- Scaring
- Razor burn/rash

The list goes on! This would be a very handy product to have in any household. Especially the
First Aid Kit! I have already been using this on my skin in hopes of completely getting rid of every
single tiny little black head on my face and so far it's doing a great job! I only really have dry skin on
the bottoms of my feet, mainly on the base of my big toes. This has been great at adding the moisture
back into my skin and healing the cracks. The kids have had a few mozzie bites lately which they
seem to be extra sensitive to and they swell up quite a bit on the both of them unfortunately. This gel
seems to have calmed them down overnight which was a great and quick relief to see!


Skleer does not contain any Parabens, Salicylic Acid or Benzoyl Peroxide found in many common
and popular acne washes. Skleer instead uses many natural yet just as effective ingredients 
including - Eucalyptus Oil, Tea Tree Oil, Cardamom Oil, Caraway Oil and Cinnamon Oil.

Skleer do not test on animals!!!

Skleer is available to purchase directly from their website with FREE shipping
Australia wide for $19.99!

Not badly priced considering this gel spreads out a long way when applied so you only need a
tiny amound for each use. Not to mention the long list of benefits it can do for you and your family.

I love multi-purpose products because not only do they save me money and time searching around
the house or my bag for what I need, it saves space replacing potentially 10+ products into just one!

MAX FACTOR


~ MAX FACTOR ~


Wild Eyeshadow Pencil

In Fierce Lime!

Also available in...
Caramel Rage, Untamed Pink, Savage Silver,
Ferocious White, Bold Sapphire, Brazen Gold & Blue Ice Fury.
Max factor is a brand that has been around for as long as I can remember
 and I feel like it doesn't get enough recognition that it deserves.
I have been wearing Max Factor makeup for more than 10 years
and I am always amazed and impressed at how innovative and clever
they are when it comes to new and exciting products they
 release to the beauty loving public.
I have had a great experience with my Wild Shadow Pencil and cannot flaw it!
It applies smoothly and with vibrant pigmentation without smudging or
having to pull at my eye to get it to blend and get an even distribution.
This is such a versatile product because it can be used as an eye shadow,
 gel liner and I even find it great to wear as a primer for eye shadow to
 give your desired shade an even brifghter and more definite colour.
It also helps to keep your shadow in place all day & night weather
wearing it on it's own or with a powder shadow on top.
Definitely an investment worth making to help build your make
up collection with quality, worthwhile products.
Up there with the best!
