SPONSORED - KALINNI SKIN CO MICRODERMABRATION KIT - PRODUCT REVIEW

Image
Nothing will ever beat that post salon-treatment feeling - but for me, with two little kids, finding time to go isn’t always easy - I love that at-home DIY beauty devices have come such a long way. I’ve been loving the new Microdermabrasion Kit from KALINNI Skin Co. The KALINNI Microdermabrasion kit is a super easy to use beauty device to use at home. It has a microcrystalline tip, which polishes and exfoliates the top layer of tired, dull skin, buffing away dead skin cells, while the vacuum suction unclogs pores and increases blood flow, thereby helping to promote collagen and elastin production for a plumper and more radiant looking skin - with far superior results than a regular face exfoliant. The KALINNI Microdermabrasion kit comes with; Microdermabrasion Device  Interchangeable tips x 4: 1. Diamond sensitive tip - for regular use 2. Diamond extraction tip - for spot treatment and blackhead removal 3. Diamond precision tip - for those small, hard to reach places 4. Diamond body

I talked about a full skincare regimen a little while ago, which was completely tailored to my skin type, needs and concerns (you can read more about it here ), but today I am going to talk a little more about their Ultimate A+...

One of those brands you always hear a lot about is Paula’s Choice… The brand is founded by the Paula Begoun, who is also the author of the early 90s book, Don't Go To The Cosmetics Counter Without Me - a book I personally really loved at the time, as it was all about which beauty products were worth the hype and which ones weren’t...

PRODUCT REVIEW: AFFORDABLE YET HIGHLY EFFECTIVE COSMECEUTICAL SKINCARE FROM SKINSTITUT YOU MUST TRY

Image
My skin has always been trouble some. Even today where I should be focusing on anti-ageing, warding off lines and wrinkles and reducing pigmentation, on top, I am forever battling hormonal breakouts. That can often be a tough cookie, as often anti-ageing products are simply too intense and rich for my combination skin. I am very fortunate that I often get to try out some incredible products, which I’ll forever be grateful for, but when a whole skincare regimen from Skinstitut landed on my desk, needless to say I got very excited. I have heard a lot of amazing things about Skinstitut, so I couldn’t wait to try all the products. Skinstitut is an Australian cosmeceutical skincare range using premium, potent and cutting edge cosmical grade ingredients based on proven blends of AHA’s, Retinoids, Vitamin C, Peptides, Antioxidants and SPF technology. And what I really love, is that the cruelty free company also believes that high-end skincare should be accessible to everyone, and consequently
