JERGENS



HOW TO:

Get Your Summer Fake Bake On Point!

W/Jergens Tanning Range!

Jergens Natural Glow Color Primer
If you love your body scrubs that really get down and dirty giving your skin a that good scrubbing
feeling, then this is a product for you! This Color Primer preps your skin for tanning by really
getting in there and buffing away all that dead skin build up and creating a natural smooth surface
which helps your self tanners and gradual tanning moisturisers glide onto the skin like butter creating
an even and the most natural looking toasty glow, ever!

This amino fruit extract blend is a pretty and orange to brown in colour and has a gorgeous
 shimmer through it!

Basically Jergens have extended their product range from not only just your everyday
daily body moisturisers and gradual tanning moisturisers. Now Jergens have cleverly released two
more products for us to really get the most our of our tanning routines.

The 3 steps are. Prime, Moisturiser & Extend. That's where these products come in.

SHOP THIS! $10.99 (162ml)


Jergens Natural Glow Daily Moisturiser (Medium to Tan)
If you'd like to read up on my review of this product in the 'Fair to Medium' shade, then just
click here! After prepping my skin with the Jergens Color Primer, I cannot express to you enough
just how smooth this gradual tanning moisturiser just glides directly onto the skin!

The formula appears surprisingly quite light in colour considering it is a darker gradual tanner.
However it somehow works it's magic and over about a week I noticed my skin appearing a lovely
shade of summer glow. Looking warm and even all over. I have been really impressed with the
results and the gorgeous smell which is nothing at all like your regular 'fake tan' smell!

SHOP THIS! $10.99 (221ml)

Jergens Natural Glow Tan Extender
Here's a product I find most interesting! Mostly because I have never heard nor have I ever used a
Tan Extender before! This product works to help prolong the life of not only your fake tan but also
any natural tanning you may have already from the sun.

I like to apply this product in the morning before getting dressed for the day and then apply the
Jergens Daily Moisturiser at night. I have been doing this daily for more than a month now and
it seems to be a working combo whilst using the Color Primer once a week in between to keep my
tan fresh and even.

This Tan Extender feels very light and soft on the skin. It soaks in quite fast and doesn't leave any
greasy residue. There is only a very light scent about it and it seems to be keeping my tan from
fading too fast.

SHOP THIS! $12.99 (221ml)

You an check out the full range of Jergens products at your local Priceline store and online.

Do you use Jergens tanning skincare products?
Do you self tan during Summer or all year round?

VITAMINC24


~  INDEED LABORATORIES  ~

Vitamin C24

Did anyone else's mum make them take Vitamin C tablets every morning before school?
I remember way back in primary school when we lived in the northern suburbs of Sydney and
my sister and I would walk to the bus stop sucking on a Vitamin C tablet. 

When it comes to skincare I am not as experienced when it comes to using Vitamin C in beauty
 products as I am using them on the inside. However the benefits of this super vitamin are so great, it
 completely makes sense to also use it in this way.

The formula of this is that of a white creamy consistency which feels more matte than oily which 
quickly becomes apparent as you work it into the skin as it gives the skin a more even, smooth and 
matte look. Not only the visual effects of this product are so great, as are the long term effects and
results this product gives. These include building collagen, reducing skin inflammation and 
discolouration repairing the skin making it more firm and looking at it's natural best whilst also
reducing the look of ageing.


Product Contains the following - Vitamin C, Hyaluronic Acid & Silicones.

Being both a serum and moisturiser in one I love that it saves me time by being a 2 in 1 product.
Recommended to use both morning and in the evening. I have found I only need to use a very small
amount (about the size of a pea) to feel it working all over my face. I love using products where I can
actually feel that very slight tingling sensation. This only lasts for about a minute and does not irritate
at all! In fact it actually makes my skin appear clearer like when you have just wipes off a really good
deep cleansing face mask. It is really quite interesting!

Overall, I would recommend this product for anyone who would like to prevent the look of ageing or
like me would in addition like to repair some of the damage already incurred from every day life.


Indeed Laboratories Vitamin C24 and the rest of their innovative and effective product range are 
available to purchase here in Australia from their official website, Priceline, Terry White Chemists
and other selected pharmacies for RRP $36.99

MATCH PERFECTION


~ RIMMEL LONDON ~

Match Perfection & Fix And Protect

FACE BASES!

I have been recently testing out this new foundation in both shades Ivory 100 & White Nude 102.
Both very similar in terms of shade and both seem to suit my light slightly pale skin. The Ivory is 
slightly lighter and appears a little grey upon application, however soon seems to change once 
settled onto my skin and turns into a more natural looking shade close to my own skin colour.

The White Nude is a shade or two darker, but still suitable for light skin tones and has more of a
orange/yellow undertone about it. This too seems like a slightly different shade when first applied,
however soon settles and changes to give me a natural slightly sun kissed glow. I found this foundation to give about a medium to full coverage on my skin. Was fairly impressed by this
as you will see more clearly in my video below.

These foundations are a pretty amazing combination whilst keeping the skin matte throughout the
day and keeping the natural oily t-zone under control, this product you may be surprised to know 
contains an SPF 20! I am pretty sure this is the first foundation I have come across to contain SPF and
still keep my skin matte throughout the day! 

Recently I put this foundation to the test and documented how it went on my skin throughout the day
used in conjunction with the Rimmel London Fix & Protect Primer. Take a look as I check in with my camera throughout the day and find out my thoughts on the end result.


Don't forget to subscribe, thumbs up & leave me a comment!

 PRIMER!

As with another Rimmel London primer I have used previously, with this product a little goes a long way and you really need to be careful not to apply too much or your face will become overly white and the product difficult to blend in. I found a small amount to do just fine and worked to create a smoother, less oily surface on my skin as a good base for my makeup.

The formula is white and quite a bit runny, similar to that of a sunscreen consistency without the smell! The scent is actually much more fragrant with a light floral scent to it which quickly disappears after application.

I found this primer kept my foundation firmly in place throughout the day and my skin hardly got oily at all after around 10 hours. I noticed a positive result as I am usually much more oily by the end of the day especially when wearing makeup.

I would still apply a powder over the top of this primer and foundation combo, however for the purpose of my first impressions video I skipped this step to see how it found fair without it.

Overall a good base for foundation. Not overly blurring or skin perfecting, but pretty good at keep the skin matte and holding the makeup in place for a good full day!

These and other Rimmel London makeup products can be purchased from Priceline, Coles, K-Mart,
Woolworths, Big W, Target & other selected pharmacies around Australia.
Match Perfection Foundation RRP $18.95
Fix & Protect Primer RRP $13.95

INSTANT TAN

~  Rimmel London  ~

Sun Shimmer Instant Tan

BB Skin Perfecter 

Medium Matte Review!


Recently I reviewed as similar new product also by Rimmel London which you can read all about here. This particular product however has been a great addition to my at home self tanning routine which I haven’t seemed to be able to stop doing since the beginning of Summer. This has been a bit of a bronzed obsessed holiday period for me and I have enjoyed every second of it!

One of my favourite things about the ever changing, growing and evolving products and innovations from the beauty industry is their ability to come up with product for not just one single purpose but several and in this case an impressive nine.

1. Softens Skin
2. Smooths Skin
3. Moisturises
4. Instant Tanning Results
5. Gives A Healthy Glow
6. Evens Skin Tone
7. Covers Skin
8. Protects Skin
9. Lasts Up To 24 Hours


This BB ‘wash off’ formula means I can experiment with as many layers of products as I want to determine the shade I am feeling that particular day and if it turns out too dark or not looking right I can just wash it right off and start over again instantly! No waiting around for days or up to a week for a dodgy tan application to fade here. Too often I find I haven’t exfoliated my skin enough and my fake tan can look much darker and a bit dirty on my knees and around certain areas on the tops of my feet. Definitely NOT a good look!

At just $13.95 this Sun Shimmer Instant Tan has barely any shimmer actually in it, yet it gives your skin a certain glow and the slimming illusion of the deep chocolate matte shade does a super job on my otherwise naturally not at all very toned thighs.


Available in both Medium Matte & Light Matte! (Shop Now!)

NEWA


~  Homedics NEWA  ~

Demo & Review!
Having just turned 32 last month, I am becoming more and more aware and dedicated to my skincare
routine like never before. Since my early 20's I have always taken care of my skin mainly to help
keep my acne under control. Now a days I still very much stick to my twice daily skincare routine,
changing up the products and trying new ones whenever I get the chance. I have come to know
through trial and error what works for my skin and what doesn't.

Within the past 3-4 years I have come to notice a few little crows feet appearing and the bags under
my eyes are ever more present then they once were post having my 2 kids and sleeping like a regular
person. Now that I am busy looking after them full time as well as helping my husband run our
business, my Youtube channel and this blog amongst all the other responsibilities of everyday life,
sleep has become about a 6 broken hour a night luxury.


Now that you have the low down in short of my skincare history let me introduce to you a device I
have been using over the past few months which I believe has made an significant difference to the
appearance and age of my skin.

Newa is a skin rejuvenation system has been recommended by dermatologists from all over the world
 and is designed to lift, firm, smooth and tighten your skin, re-creating collagen within the skin.
Results can be seen as quickly as after the very first use with results being more obvious after a
 month.

The instructional DVD included with you Newa is great to watch before starting with the treatment
and gives you in depth detail on how to best use the Newa for ultimate long term effective results.


It is essential to use the Newa with the recommended Activator Gel for 5 sessions per week for one
 month and then twice weekly there after. The Activator Gel not only helps to protect the skin, it
 provides it's own facial treatment within itself giving your skin the ultimate at home spa collagen
 facial completely un-invasive and pain free!


Once you apply the gel directly to the device you then turn on the Newa. The indicator light will turn blue and once you have pressed the lit up button again it will begin to start flashing. This indicates it is ready to go. It is important not to exceed the maximum four minute treatment session once a day. You will know you are done as the device with light up from blue to green & give you a little buzz.


Apply the Newa device to the skin in and rotate in small circular motions. The Newa device is
designed to be used upon six sections of your face. The upper and lower cheek area or each side and
 then under the chin to help lift and firm the skin underneath on each side. There are two heating
levels. Newa recommends starting with the higher setting, however if it begins to feel too warm for
 your liking, you can always just switch it down to the low heat setting. Slowly you will begin to feel
your skin warming up, however it did not get hot or uncomfortable for me. Moving the device in
 larger circular motions on your face will tone down the feeling of heat a little if it does start to feel a
 bit too much.


Just like most facial treatments upon the end of each session you
skin will appear slightly reddened but shouldn't be sore, burning or irritated which mine was not.
I found the redness to not appear too bad on my face (I think my skin is pretty tough) and the redness
only lasted about half an hour before settling down again.


What I love most about the Newa Skin Rejuvenation System is that it does all of this in just four
minutes per session once a day! Being such a busy bee, this fits into my life with ease and has
 definitely been worth the extra time spent.

Has your skin developed any wrinkles?
Do you include any anti-ageing skincare products in your skincare routine?

Activator Gel - $59.95 (Buy!)

REAL U


~  REAL-U  ~

 Remove Spot Treatment
Real-U Remove Spot Treatment - RRP $28.00 (15ml)

Just like just about every single person on the planet (minus those genetically perfect skinned lucky
beings, are they even human?) I have suffered with the odd spot and pimple break outs for what feels
like my whole entire life! I clearly remember my very first zit rearing it's ugly unwelcome head smack
bang in the middle of my forehead when I was just eleven and as my teenage years dragged on for what
at the time felt like at least twenty years, the spots just kept on coming and only in the past five or so
years since I really started to study and become completely obsessed with beauty and skincare has my
skin started to calm down and I finally feel like I have it under control thanks massively to a few key
essential products I have found which work well for my skin including this one which I have recently 
added into my current skincare routine.

Containing effecting acne fighting ingredients without the use of harsh ingredients including Benzoyl
Peroxide or Salicylic Acid which can dry out the skin. Hypoallergenic, this clear white product which
feel like the same consistency as a serum will zap your pesky zits overnight. I pop a dab or this first
thing in the morning before moisturising and applying makeup and right before bed under my night
cream to really tackle any lumps or bumps I have and want gone quickly. I have found this to also
slightly reduce my pore size when applied at night I can see a noticeable difference in the morning
which is a great way to start the day I must say! :)


How do you zap your zits?

DREAM DOTS


~  DREAM DOTS  ~

http://www.dreamdotsforspots.com

Unless you're extremely lucky or have been blessed with incredible genes chances are you're suffered
from the odd break out of two (or a hundred!) in your lifetime. I know I have had my fair share and
over the past almost 20 years I have tried and tested countless amounts of bottles, potions and tubes
to try and get rid of them for good! I do have a few holy grails which I will continue to use for as
long as I feel I need to and at the moment I am also using these - Dream Dots!


What has me loving these are how unique they are! They are not just another facial wash, serum or
even gel. They are patches! Yes patches, similar to that of a cold sore patch which a fellow fav
blogger of mine pointed out to me recently.


They are small, discreet and so easy to use! You just pop one on over that annoying angry spot
and sleep with it on overnight. By morning the spot will have changed from clear to a whitish shade
and once you peel it off you will see you zit calmed right down. Less red and puffy and over the
period of a few days it will disappear completely! Not bad when it does all this whilst you sleep!

Recently I had a break out around my lower cheek area and wanted to get rid of them asap,
especially since I have been on a bit of a filming binge lately and nobody wants to be distracted by
that in a beauty video! So I madly stuck about 5 onto my face at once and over about 2-3 days my
face was pretty much back to normal. Yay!

 

For details on where you can purchase yourself some Dream Dots make sure you check out their
website for more info!

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. :)
