GOOD GREEN BOX


GOOD GREEN BOX

Unboxing Review + Video!


I have always loved getting packages in the mail. The excitement of opening something up and
seeing what's inside has always been fun for me. It's like a little treat/pick me up for the day
especially when you get something unexpected. 

Treating yourself to a monthly subscription box is a great way to try new products if that is something
you're into or if you're searching for something new but aren't sure just what you want, then getting
something like The Good Green Box in terms of green beauty items if a great way to try some new
things out before you commit to purchasing something new you aren't 100% sure about first.

Watch my first impressions & unboxing below!

Natura Siberica Rhodiola Rosea Day Cream
This day cream is really gorgeous! It is lovely smooth and fragrant, absorbs straight away and leaves
my skin ready for makeup without any greasy feeling.

This product has an SPF 20 which is great coming into these warmer months, I feel like I get a good
amount of SPF coverage when both my facial moisturiser and foundation usually both have some 
kind of SPF in them. Combining the two makes for a pretty high SPF on my face, so happy days.

Current RRP $19.99 (50ml)

Natura Siberica Ginseng Eye Cream Gel
This hydrating eye cream is white and creamy and even smells creamy too! (Reminds me a little bit
of the classic Nivea Creme in terms of the creamy scent and texture).

Eye cream is such an essential part of my daily beauty routine these days, so I am always glad to try 
some new ones and have some back ups stashed away for when I run out. Eye cream lasts me ages,
I know I will get loads of uses out of this super generous 7ml sachet!

Current RRP $22.99 (30ml)


Siberian Sea Buckthorn Berry Oil Extract
Here is a brand and product that is very interesting which I have never heard of before. This blend of
cold pressed extra virgin cedar nut oil and sea buckthorn berry have amazing healing properties for
the body including the skin, liver and treating the common cold.

To find out more about this product and how it might work for you go to
http://www.megrellc.com/


Cocobetty Coconut Oil Wipes
Hands up if you go through facial wipes faster than toilet paper? Yeah, me too! You can never have
too many wipes and I love individually wrapped ones like these from Cocobetty because it means I
can carry a few with me where ever I go and use them whenever the need arises.

These not only remove makeup, they are also hydrating, soothing and help to clear blemish prone
skin. Yipee! Vegan, palm oil free and not tested on animals!

Currently sell in boxes of x25 for RRP $21.95


Vapour Halo Illuminator in "Moonlight"
This is such a pretty, creamy highlight. Close to rose gold in colour, it has a fine shimmer with a
golden sheen in pale pink. It is soft and easily blendable with a light fragrant scent.

Can be applied to the cheek bones, shoulders, along the collar bones or decolletage.

Available full size for current RRP $36.00

I am constantly learning and being amazed by products such as this one. An all rounder as such,
this product can be used on the skin, hair and even nails to nourish, strengthen and protect.

Apply to your hair for anti-frizz, skin as a primer and moisturiser and your nails to strengthen them.

Available in full size 50ml for current RRP $44.00


I have absolutely fallen in love with this product! Both hydrates and tones the skin and fights
inflammation. I love this because toners in general seem to dry out my skin just a little too much,
but this product doesn't and I love the smell. Rose is always, always a sure winner scent!

To use, just apply to a cotton pad and wipe over face and neck. Made with certified organic rose
petals and water. Pretty much pure beauty in a bottle.

Current RRP $19.95 (100ml)

ESJ


ESJ Skincare 
Lady Gorgeous Review!


When it comes to skincare, being a girlie girl at heart I can't deny I am always drawn in by pretty
appealing packaging. Like this luxurious set by ESJ Skincare, there is no denying the presentation
of these products is second to none. Definitely something very special!

This sweet pink sturdy box keeps your womanly bottles safe and secure after purchase, or in
the post if shopping online or gifting to a friend. The rose petals and personalised note are a special
personal added touch that tells me this company goes above and beyond for their customers. This
product duo is the perfect pick for any woman!


To clarify these bottles are x1 Body Cleanser and x1 Body Moisturiser! Upon first glance I was sure
this was a perfume set! By far the most beautiful and luxe cleanser and moisturiser duo I have ever
owned or used! I am feeling very special indeed when using these lightly fragranced products!

Some of my favourite ingredients include -  Ylang Ylang Flower Oil, Macadamia Nut Seed Oil, 
Sweet Almond Oil, Blood Orange Oil, Shea Butter, Lemon Peel Oil and Kakadu Plum Fruit Extract.
These products are 79% (Cleanser) and 84% (Moisturiser) organic ingredients!


ESJ Skincare also offer a version of products for the men in our lives. Think deep navy sexy abs man
bottles. *sigh* Definitely something I know my hubby would LOVE! I am going to have to keep this
in mind for one of his Christmas pressies this year! Make sure you take a look at 'The Gentleman'
over on the ESJ website!


Each collection retails for $89.00 and can be purchased safe and securely directly from ESJ's website.
Are you into luxurious skincare or tend to stick to the basic budget buys?

ABFE


~AUSTRALIAN BUSH FLOWER ESSENCES~
Love System
Woman Daily Essence Moisturiser
REVIEW!

http://www.ausflowers.com.au

Has anyone else begun to feel the chill of the crisp Winter air? For me it is already creeping into my
room and under the covers in the early hours of the AM and slightly waking me up in a dazed and
groggy state.

My skin has been on a great run over the past 6-9 months or so. Thanks mainly due to a great batch of
a range of different skincare products I have been testing out. Thankfully they have all seemed to
agree with me, which honestly makes it difficult to choose just one favourite.

One of those new favs to join my skincare club in my overflowing bathroom is this absolutely devine
daily essence moisturiser by Australian Bush Flower Essences. This can be used on your face, hands
and body and boasts a thick earthy bush scented white cream that absorbs within a few minutes and
has left my skin feeling loved and soft again after it being slightly dried out over the chilly nights.

I have been applying this to my face in the morning. Just a tiny amount and patting it gently into my
skin rather than rubbing it in for a more caring approach to my skin which also helps eliminate
causing damage and premature winkling and sagging to the skin by moving the skin around.


I would describe this as a thick, rich cream which is also quite heavily scented. However the scent
is fresh, earthy and slightly floral without the overpowering perfume kind of smell. It has more of a
natural strong aroma, as if you have just taken a deep breath out in a overgrown thick Australian
bush. Nourishes and rebalances the skin whilst working hard to improve the skin's texture and
smoothing out those pesky fine lines, which I have noticed this to have done the most noticeably on
the backs of my hands. 

Contains bush essences of Billy Goat Plum, Bottlebrush, Bush Fuchsia, Crowea, Five Corners, Mulla
Mulla, Old Man Banksia, Peach-Flowers Tea-Tree, Pink Flannel Flower and She Oak.


Like all Love System products from Australian Bush Flower Essences. This Woman Daily Essence
Moisturiser can be purchased directly from their website for RRP $19.85

YES TO CARROTS


~  Yes To Carrots  ~

http://www.yestocarrots.com

 The 'Yes To' brand has been around for as long as I have been a 'Beauty Guru.' I first head about
them way back when I began watching other beauty crazed individuals like myself talk about and
review them on their Youtube channels and blogs and I thought they looked so good!

Fast forward a few years and here I am finally getting my chance to try them and to tell you all about
them! Hooray! 'Yes To' just in case you haven't heard don't only say yes to carrots. They also have
ranges of beauty goodness for your face, body, hair & even baby not only in the Carrots range but
also in a variety of other delicious fruits & veg including Blueberries, Coconut, Tomato, Cucumber & even Grapefruit!


Exfoliating Cleanser
I honestly prefer exfoliating cleansers over any other kind because I feel like my skin always needs
a good scrubbing to remove dead skin cell build up otherwise I can just feel the roughness on the
surface of my skin. This scrub is so so nice and it leaves my skin so smooth and ready for moisturising
with the matching Daily Facial Moisturiser. (See below) This product contains organic carrots as well
as Shea Butter and other 98% natural ingredients. RRP: $14.99 (Buy!)

Daily Facial Moisturiser 
Has anyone else noticed it getting hotter and hotter each year? The sun seems to be getting closer
and as I get older it just becomes more and more essential to me to take extra care of my skin. Not
only for appearance sake. The sun is the enemy when it comes to premature wrinkles, sun spots and
dull, damaged skin. It is important to me to look after my skin from the harsh UV rays to protect my
body on the inside as well. This moisturiser makes my skin look and feel amazing, it doesn't feel like
it's clogging my pores and I love that 'Yes To' products are cruelty free and this particular product is
97% natural. RRP: $23.99 (Buy!)


The 'Yes To Carrots' range is available to purchase from Priceline, Blooms Chemist, Amcal
& Guardian Pharmacy.

Have you tried any products from the 'Yes To' range?
Which is your favourite?

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.



Antipodes - Ananda Antioxidant-Rich Gentle Toner
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.

ORGANYC


~  ORGANYC  ~

Biodegradable Organic Cotton Monthly Products! 


We all get our period. Fact! (Well most of us females at some point!) But do you actually have any
idea what the monthly products you are using on and inside your own body are made from and how
you using them are effecting the environment? I never thought much about it until I learnt of this 
brand. Organyc.

Organyc is 100% Certified Organic and is made from cotton grown and approved by the Soil
Association! (That's a pretty big deal as The Soil Association have mega strict standards and
specific requirements!- eg. How the cotton is grown, harvested, stored as well as conservation criteria.) 
Further info on Organic Standards by the Soil Association can be found here.
The cotton used is grown without the use of any chemicals, pesticides or toxins.

Organyc supply a great range of sanitary products to suit your monthly needs weather you're a
pad or tampon girl. Each box is clearly marked between one and six white rain drops so you
can easily pick out and choose a product to suit your needs.

Below you will find three from their range I have been trying out over the past month.
All worked well for me on different days for different reasons.

Below I explain...

x10 Ultra Thin Pads - Moderate w/Wings! ($6.95)

Getting a little personal here, but I feel the best way to explain these products is to share with you
how I deal with my own monthlies!

Over the years my period has ranged from heavy to light to pretty much not having it at all for
about three years whilst I had my two babies if you count nine months for each and then another
when my body was finding it's feet and getting back to 'normal'.

These days the first 2-3 days are about a moderate flow and I found this particular size pad to do
the job best for me to see me through the nights. In general I prefer pads with wings
for that bit of extra protection and security. These were great at preventing any leaks and
they stuck in place really well. The pad itself was also very absorbent.

x24 Ultra Thin Panty Liners! ($6.95)

I am not one of those people who feel the need to wear some kind of protection down there every
single day in between my period. Unless it's a super hot humid day or if I was going to sweat it out
in the gym (which let's face it I just don't do!) then I would wear a liner to keep me feeling dry.

However I generally find myself using liners on the last few days of my period when my flow
slows down and this is all I need. These liners are nice and thin and you can hardly feel they're
there. They are so comfortable and also absorb well. Again like the regular pads the sticky side
ensures they stay in place for as long as you need without moving around which could lead to
complete embarrassment and disaster!

x16 Organyc Regular Tampons! ($6.95)

 As these are the lightest flow size available (also abavilable in super & super plus!) these suited me perfectly.
They are designed and open the same way you would use any other kind of tampon and
the cotton felt soft, gentle and comfortable to insert, remove and wear.

The little info booklet also provides you more info and how-to pictures if you're a beginner with these
things, which is perfect for younger girls who might be unsure. I know it took me a few years to get
the hang of it so I totally get it!!

If you're interested to give Organyc a go now that you are more aware of the benefits and how
much kinder these are to your body and environment the whole range is available to purchase
online directly from their website or click here to find a stockist near you!

TANORGANIC


~  TanOrganic  ~

Review & Giveaway!


Duo Bronzer - This Duo Bronzer is uniquely packaged containing two bronzed tones perfect
for contouring and highlighting the face year round. One half has a medium to dark toned chocolate 
brown which I find blends easily into the contours of my face giving it natural dimension and tone. 
The other half holds a golden bronze shimmer to highlight the areas of the face where the sunlight
naturally hits. (Tops of the cheek bones, down the bridge of the nose, cupids bow. - Also makes for
a killer eyebrow highlight as it looks subtle and natural, highlighting them and helping to open up
tired eyes without looking too glimmery or glitzy! Added bonus is the handy mirror inside which I
couldn't live without, especially on the go!

Organic Self Tan - This product gives my skin a beautifully bronzed glow about two shades
darker than my natural self. I like to apply it twice over because I am naturally actually very light.
The 100ml frosted glass bottle is said to contain up to seven full body tans! I have been using mine
quite a lot lately and there is still loads left in there, so I don't see it running out anytime soon. If you 
love organic products which don't contain any parabens or synthetic or dying agents then this one's 
for you! TanOrganic products also don't give you that just fake tanned smell either. Instead their
products have a light citrusy scent about them which smells fresh and clean!

Self-Tanning Oil - Let me introduce to you the world's very first self tanning oil! Yep, pretty
amazing huh? This gradual tanning oil not only gives your skin a light natural glow, darkening slowly
after each application to give you absolute control over the shade you want, it also moisturises and
nourishes your skin each time. TanOrganic products are suitable for all skin types, even if your skin
is super sensitive. Made from natural ingredients including Borage Seed, Argan and Orange Peel 
Oils, TanOrganic is actually Eco-Certified so you can have a clean conscious when purchasing their
range.

Oil Arganic Multi Use Dry Oil - This product is amazing and I this is the first of it's
kind I have ever encountered. This oil is interesting because it is actually a 'dry oil'. So once applied it
soaks directly into the skin instantly moisturising and prolonging your instant tan, leaving your skin 
feeling completely dry and non greasy! As a multi useful product, this can also be used on stretch marks, acne scaring, 
cuticles and even in your hair to tame and prevent frizz and fly aways.

Luxury Application Mitt - Having some kind of application mitt when applying fake tan
quickly became a necessity for me after my hands became a dirty looking streaky orange one time
when I was in a hurry and didn't bother being careful and wasn't worrying about the consequences of
my actions. Invest in this Luxury Application Mitt and it will be your self tanning best friend! It is so
velvety soft and makes applying TanOrganic Self Tan & Self-Tanning Oil a breeze as the application
is spread out perfectly even and makes it appear so natural and completely even.

Tan Erase Exfoliating Glove - When it comes time to remove my fake tan or my 
exfoliation before hand hasn't been done quite well enough and my tan is fading a little too obviously,
then it's time to bring this baby out to play! This glove fits my hand perfectly and gives my skin a
good scrub down without being too harsh or scratchy. This glove is so handy and durable. It can be
used over and over again on wet or dry skin which makes it totally convenient as well!

Watch my video below demonstrating & talking in more detail about the products mentioned above!

SCOUT


SCOUT COSMETICS

Autumn Must Haves!

http://www.scoutcosmetics.com

Even though it doesn't feel all that much like the cooler months of the year are here, what with
all of the consistant 30 degree weather which insists on hanging around. Here is Brisbane the days
are usually cloudy and muggy and humid! Winter, I am looking forward to your visit!

However, I am still excited about Autumn, no matter how moody it may be. The berry, brown
and purple, reddiesh shades which dominate the season are all beautiful and rich in pigments and
texture, both in fashion and beauty. Such a fun time of the year!

Let me introduce today to you, two new to me products which I think are perfect must haves for
the Autumn season. 

Scout Cosmetics Mineral Eye Shadow in 'She' & Scout Cosmetics Nail Lacquer in 'Walk Of Life'.

When it comes to make-up, I am all about the base and getting those products right are such an
important part of anyone's make-up routine.  Scout Cosmetics mineral eyeshadows come in seven
bold and earthy shades which blend seamlessly and last the whole day. 

This neutral, light sandy hue makes for the perfect eyeshadow base and creates a nice, smooth
canvas on the lid. Slightly darker shades such as 'Platinum Blonde' & 'Run Baby Run' can also
be used as brow definers.

SWATCH above & below blended onto the skin.
Scout Cosmetics Mineral Eyeshadow - RRP: $29.95

Scout Cosmetics offers a huge range of 28 nail lacquer shades including this one pictured
below in the shade 'Walk Of Life'.  This shades screams Autumn to me and I absolutely adore it!
It matches every outfit and being such an earthy, natural hue, I can't help but think about the
changing leaves from green to brown. 

Just look at the pigmentation and shine from just ONE layer and no top coat!
Scout Cosmetics Nail Lacquer - RRP: $19.95

Scout Cosmetics nail lacquer are free from nasty chemicles usually found in polishes such as,
Camphor, DBP, Toluene, Formaldehyde Resin and Parabens.

Scout Cosmetics are Australian made & only use natural, certified organic ingredients.

(I cannot stress how much this means to me and I will 100% back
any company who sticks by these standards!)
