Always up for trying new and different skincare and especially when it comes to acne fighting
products which target directly to the cause and treat the skin, then that is definitely something to
gain my attention and interest!

Being a acne sufferer since my pre-teens I have been there and done that with just about all the
different products and 'home remedies' you could think of. Previously I had tried and used up a
whole tub of Skin B5's Skin Purifying Mask and found the results to be quite satisfactory so when the
opportunity came to me a little while ago to test out more of the range I jumped at the chance!

Here are my reviews of each product I have been using over the past few months and how I feel
each product went and how it effected my skin and weather or not I would recommend each one
for those like me who suffer from adult acne.

-
Acne Control Cleansing Mousse (200ml)
Cleansing my whole face and neck twice daily has been the norm for me pretty much my whole life,
so making the switch over to this Cleansing Mousse was an easy feat. I have used cleansing mousse
type of acne targeted products before with really good results so I expected this to be the same.

I wasn't wrong! This product is amazing! So easy to use with the easy pump top dispensing just the
right amount of foamy goodness which I swear I could feel working on my skin as I massaged it in.
Removed all of that excess greasy feel from a long day or warm night without stripping my skin.
I left my skin soft and the few spots I had when I first began using this skincare range were instantly
less red and a little shrunken down. And this was just after the first cleanse! Impressive to say the
least!

Contains salicylic acid which seems to be loved by some and hated by others. I personally love it as
every facial cleansing product I have ever used with this ingredient has always worked at fighting my
acne very quickly. With my skin being 'normal' it has never dried it out whilst keeping the oil under
control. The Green Tea & Aloe Vera have a light scent and soothing feel on the skin and is very
moisturising and healing to the skin as well. RRP $22.95

Acne Control Moisturiser (100ml)
It is a hard task to find such a deeply moisturising facial cream that isn't greasy and soaks straight
down into the skin. It takes some detective work and I think with this Acne Control Moisturiser I
have found the one with the magic combination of ingredients including - Green Tea, Jojoba Oil &
Vitamin B5.

Whilst using this in conjunction with the Acne Control Cleansing Mousse and other Skin B5 products
below, the change I can see on the surface on my skin is pretty awesome. Even my pores, which are
one of my biggest annoyances appear to have shrunk down in size and are completely clear of any
gunk and dirt. It seems rare to find such a product combination to do this and I have only ever used
a few others which also have the power to do this successfully. RRP $22.95

Skin Purifying Mask (100gm)
If your acne is quite severe to begin with then I would recommend going full throttle using this mask
straight away a few times a week to let the specially formulated product really get to work in deeply
cleansing the skin and getting the oil production under control in order for the other products within
the Skin B5 range to aid in keeping the skin under control and healing from deep within so to prevent
any future break outs keeping the skin as clear as possible.

With hard working ingredients including - Avocado Oil, Peppermint, Bergamot Oil, Green Clay, Aloe
 Vera, Deep Sea Minerals and of course Vitamin B5 which you will find in all of Skin B5's products.

After the first two weeks of dedicated use 2-3 times a week I found cutting back to once a week was
all that was needed for my skin to keep up with being deeply cleansed and keeping clear and free of
dirt and impurities. This product is fantastic for those short on skincare time as it only takes 5 minutes
to dry onto the skin and can be simply rinsed away after that, it is that simple! RRP $34.95

Acne Control Capsules (x90 or 3month supply)
Honestly, I am not usually inclined to purchase or take any kind of vitamin or health supplement.
I just prefer the old fashioned way of portion controlled eating healthy with fruits and vegetables and
 all the other good stuff for a balaned diet. However since the reviews and reputation of these
 products I have heard and read about seem to all be so positive and with no nasty chemicals or
ingredients included I struggled to find a reason not to give them a fair chance.

One of the benefits I found really interesting and more appealing was the fact that both the Skin B5
capsules and tables not only help with keeping the skin under control working from the inside out,
it also works to relieve stress which is something that I really struggle with on a daily basis.

Recommended for mild to moderate acne sufferers who prefer a relatively smaller size capsule to
swallow. RRP $39.95

Acne Control Extra Strength Tablets (x180 or 30day supply)
These Skin B5 Extra Strength tablets are quite impressive in terms of claims. Here they are below -

Heal Skin & Small Wounds
Skin Renewal
Stress Relief
Oil Control
Supports Immune System

No wonder they are 'Extra Strength'! A bit of a larger tablet to take however this has never been an
issue for me. I have luckily always found taking tablets, even large ones easy. Those ones you are
recommended to take every single day whilst pregnant and breast feeding are giant suckers and I took
them with both my babies for more than 12months each time!

The recommended dosage is quite a lot to commit to, especially since in the beginning I wasn't all
that keen on taking supplements in the first place. However I had nothing to loose and my skin was
in the middle of a acne binge on my face with the main focus being on my cheeks, chin and the odd one on my forehead. These tablets and capsules are designs both for the face and body. I do get the
odd cluster of small bumps on my shoulders and upper back and these have now completely cleared.

I can't be sure if my stress levels have come down or my mood increased as my mind is a
complicated crazy place and with ongoing thyroid issues I don't know if these capsules and tables
have the capacity to take control of 100% of my hormones. RRP $49.95


Overall I have definitely noticed a dramatic improvement overall in my overall skin from using all of
 these products and have really enjoyed them all and found it very interesting and delightful with the
 clear results.

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.

NANOSELFIE


~  #NANOSELFIE CHALLENGE  ~

FEATURING INDEED LABS 

NANOBLUR
HYDRALURON MOISTURE BOOSTING MASK!

Have you ever wondered how some people seem to always take the most perfect selfies?
A tiny percentage are blessed to be naturally striking and flawless and 99.9% photogenic, the
rest of us... well with a bit of tech help using filters, airbrushing as well as make-up most the rest of
us can look pretty awesome too! However I was recently challenged to take the Indeed Laboratories
#nonoselfie challenge with a little skin prep from their incredibly hydrating Moisture Boosting Mask.
Using my Nanoblur underneith my make-up makes one hell of a difference let me tell you!


Indeed Laboratories have produced a groundbreaking range of skincare products that will definitely
impress you. Including these two which work great to compliment each other giving you the best
results, they also stock - Fillume, Eysilix, Retinol Face, Pepta-Bright, Snoxin & my personal fav,

To find out more about the Indeed Labs range you can check out my full review of 3 of my favs
right here as well are a more indepth look at the Hydraluron Moisture Boosting Mask pictured
above here. :)


To help create perfect #nonoselfie skin after letting the Moisture Boosting Mask sit for a good 15
minutes I then massage about a pea size amount of Nanoblur into my skin. My main selfie pet peeves
include my large pores, wrinkles around my eyes as well as the one across my forehead where they are more apparent. As you can see below, Nonoblur works a treat at making my worry lines fade away and my pores much less noticable. 
I love that this product takes away all of my selfie insecurities and just leaves my skin looking 
the best version of itself letting the other features on my face shine.

My skin often becomes a bit oily by the end of the day. I love that this keeps the oil under
control and keeps my skin looking matte and fresh.

Even though I prefer to use Nonoblur as a (highly effective) primer you can actually use this pretty much anyway you like. Under, over or even mixed in with your foundation or moisturiser. 
Any which way you choose to apply it, it will still give you the same airbrushed appearing results!

Discipline  Range

      Review!     


With Summer fast approaching my hair needs to go and sit over in the naughty
corner and have a stern talking to and some serious discipline!
Whenever it becomes humid, with even the slightest amount of moisture in the air,
my hair goes manic and it becomes a nightmare to control. >_<

So it seems this new Discipline haircare range has come into my life at the most perfect time!
My hair has now been fully disciplined!
 How lucky for those unruly, cheeky little, drive me crazy strands!


RRP: $42 (250ml)
This very pretty, pretty, shiny rose gold and peach packaging has me totally sucked in and
drooling from first glance! It just looks sooo....oh what's the word - expensive & luxe!
No joke, it even smells expensive & completely salon luxe! It doesn't even stop there,
just wait until you use this stuff. (and seriously you like totally will because after reading my
review of this entire range you will be completely sold! ha!) ;)

It feels so nice to massage into my crazy, kid, play doh, glue, grass, mud and god knows 
what else gets up in there from day to day smelling hair that my kids put in it with their grubby
mitts! To be able to unwind with a hair pampering like this after my usual crazy day is just bliss!

Thank you Kerastase!

RRP: $48 (200ml)
We all know one is not complete without the other, and the above Bain Fluidealiste's sister is this
Fondant Fluidealiste which picks up where the Bain leaves off giving your hair instant strength and
smoothness as it soaks in and detangles.

It says to use this on towel dried hair and leave in for 1-2 minutes but I just use this whilst I'm still
showering. I squeeze out as much water as I can from my hair and then apply a generous
 coating of this down the bottom end of my hair beginning from around where my ears
 are and working the product down toward the ends. Once I've detangled my hair, this usually 
takes me a good few minutes because I have so much of it, the product has been left in
 long enough and then I thoroughly rinse it out.

RRP: $60 (200ml)
This stuff is the icing on a very luxurious hair cake! :)
The rich, thick, white texture is so creamy and smells totally a-maze!
Seriously, a relaxing treatment masque that doesn't feel heavy or like it's weighing my hair down
as it rests in there soaking into every strand is exactly the kind of pampering I love to indulge in!
(Not to mention quite hard to find!)

In conjunction with using both the Bain Fluidealiste and Fondant Fluidealiste together with this
Maskeratine, collectively they are creating hair magic! The difference in my hair overall is obvious!
The frizz and annoying static has gone away and instead I am left with smooth, soft, shiny, 
deeply moisturised, lust worthy angelic looking hair!! Oooh!

(Keep scrolling for pix below!)

EMERGINC


~ e  m  e  r  g  i  n  C ~
                                         Scientific  Organics! 


Kombucha  Cleanser
This feels refreshing and cool against my skin and as it lathers up quite well
I was able to get quite a few uses out of this little 3ml sachet.

The scent is mild and reminds me of a day spa. I found it didn't strip my skin but still
gave it a clean look and feeling. Removes excess oil, dirt and even makeup!

Full size is 120ml and has a RRP of $35.00


Phytocell Cream
I used this cream over a few days at both day and night and it felt very
pampering, creamy and soft on my skin. It melted right in and I really enjoyed it.
Extremely hydrating and contains concentrated grape stem cells which help
 to brighten the skin and improve it's texture, and tone.

Contains an impressive list of ingredients those of which I found most interesting and appealing
being both green and white tea as well as food grade seaweed!

You can find the full list of ingredients of each product on the emerginC website.
(Link at the bottom of this post!)

Full size is 50ml and has a RRP of $87.50


Similar to the Phytocell Cream, this mask draws out impurities, nourish, soothe,
brighten and improve the skins overall texture and tone.

Recommended to use 1-3 times a week and like a regular mask you just leave it on for
around 10-15 minutes. I experiences a very slight tingling sensation once the mask had
started to settle into my skin and begin drying but it only lasted about a minute and wasn't
anything uncomfortable and it felt more like it was getting down deep into my pores and giving
them a good clean out which I noticed after washing off the mask. My pores were noticeably
clear of any dirt or grime and my skin appeared more toned, even and smooth.

Full size is 50ml and has a RRP of $50.00


Peel Pad
This kind of product is completely new and different to me as I'd never used or applied
any kind of facial peel product to my skin before.
This was interesting because you actually apply this pad directly to your face whilst
completely dry and after 2-5 minutes you remove it with a cool facial washer or you
can just rinse the product away with water. Not a process I am used to, but still a very easy
and simple procedure to follow.  

Like the Detox Mask, I did feel a little tingling similar to 
what I felt when I used the mask, although a little stronger but still not painful or uncomfortable.
Afterwards my skin felt renewed and felt relaxed which I didn't expect from a peel. I was
expecting my face to look and feel quite raw, but the stereotypical of this procedure wasn't like
that at all! The ingredients include - Natural fruit acids, aloe, tea tree, green tea, black willow
bark and apple extracts, just to name a few! 

All of emerginC ingredients are at least 70% organic!

This Peel Pad is sold together with their Clarifying Pads as an at home two step facial peel and
clarifying kit. Each product comes with x60 pads each and retails at a RRP of $90.00



Totally free of any artificial fragrances, colours or parabens!
No animal testing and their products are packaged so beautifully full size
in earth friendly, recyclable packaging. At present, they are even claiming
to plant a tree for each product purchased! How amazing is that? Now that is
something worth supporting! I love the initiative to purchase. Such a lovely idea!

This brand is up there in terms of quality and beauty.
Their products are focused on helping slow down and preventing the evident
ageing progress seen on our skin and uses only the highest quality, most natural
ingredients to do this such as - Vitamin C, Witch Hazel, Green Tea and Aloe.


emerginC products can be purchased from a number of stores online
or from selected spas worldwide.

Check out their official website for further details!

Violet Box


~ Violet Box ~
May Edition!


Lush Popcorn Lip Scrub
RRP: $9.95 (Full Size!)
Who doesn't love Lush!? Hand made and environmentally friendly, you
really can't go wrong! I am a HUGE fan of the Lush Bubblegum Lip Scrub,
so I am keen to try this new popcorn flavour! Very unique I must say and
smells very much like a buttery delight! Contains Castor Sugar, Jojoba Oil,
Sea Salt, Polenta, Coconut Oil & Popping Candy! Wow!


StyleSign Straight Sleek Perfection
RRP: $24.95
This is a sample 20ml size thermal spray serum which aids
in keeping the hair in a straight, sleek style when used with a
straightener.  This sounds like something I will love as my hair
needs this kind of product or it runs riot!


Chella Ivory Lace Highlighter Pencil
RRP: $22.00 (Full Size!)
This 1.4g highlighter pencil appears to be quite a nice,
neutral shade which will keep your featured looking natural,
yet enhanced with a gentle lighter tint. I would use this on the lower
lash line for a wide eyed look, just above the cheek bones for a subtle
glow and even on my lips for a lovely muted nude look with my eyes being
played up as the main feature. Gorgeous, versatile product!


Eve's Ready To Wear Moisturising Lipstick by Teeez
Trendy Cosmetics
RRP: $32.00 (Full Size!)
I don't know how I have never seen nor heard of this brand,
because, WOW! How amazing is this packaging!? I just LOVE it!!
It's far from plain or boring, that's for sure and I think the rose gold
and acrylic clear detailing is absolutely stunning!
 The shade is called "Tempting Pink"
and is the perfect everyday lipstick. This is definitely my new favourite
and will be replacing all others in my makeup bag!
Paraben free!
Long lasting!
Repairs damaged lips!


Timeless Truth Herbal Rejuvenation Immortelle Mask
(Functionality Series)
RRP: $8.00 (Full Size!)
This mask is a Green Tea Phenol Soothing Mask which contains the
natural extract of green tea to sooth the skin gently. As it is a cloth mask,
it is quite clever, working in a different way to your regular mask.
The cloth works to keep the air from the skin so it can work better at
regulating your skins oils. Who knew green tea did so much for your skin?
It prevents premature signs of aging, refines the skins texture, minimizes large
pores, reduces acne, improves uneven skin tone & dark pigmentation
and repairs the skin. I'm impressed!


Timeless Truth Miracle Rejuvenation Mask
(Lifting Mask)
RRP: $7.00
MISSING FROM MY BOX!
:(

Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse
RRP: $24.95 (50ml)
$39.95 (100ml)
This 4ml sample size sounds much simular to my fav L'Oréal
extraordinary oil mixed with Bio Oil. A multi purpose oil designed to use
on your face, body and hair. It contains 6 different plant oils which claims to
nourish, repair, soften and reduce stretch marks on the skin.
There seems to be a lot of hype around this product at the moment so I am
looking forward to trying it, although I'm not sure if 4ml is enough to
really notice any results, especially regarding stretch marks.


Nuxe Creme Merveillance
RRP: $64.95 (50ml)
This 2ml sample size is designed for normal to dry skin and claims
to fill in, plump and sooth visible expression lines.
I'm not sure if this works instantly or over time, so we shall see..
Sounds promising and with the full size price tag I would hope it would
work! Contains flower root and seed extracts. Nice!
