Luminesce products

I am always excited to come across new brands, and even more so when they are cruelty free and made locally in my hometown of Melbourne. I am of course talking about Bali Body... Bali Body has been designed with natural nourishing ingredients, so you can nourish your body and enjoy a summer vibe all year round.  I've put a selection of products to the test, including;  Bali Body BB Cream SPF 15, medium* Bali Body  Luxe Moisturising Lotion* Bali Body  Shimmering Body Oil* Let’s start with the Bali Body BB Cream SPF 15 , which I tried in the shade natural, which worked perfectly with my medium beige skin tone, but it is also available in three other shades. The cream claims to be a multitasking beauty cream that combines hydrating skincare benefits to protect, correct and perfect the skin, and thereby being both an anti-ageing moisturiser, SPF, primer and foundation in one. The BB Cream has been enriched with among others green tea and ginseng to rejuvenate, along with hyaluronic aci

Since having kids and no longer working in the corporate world, I’ve found I’ve changed the type of makeup I wear, and its become less, and always having kids around my legs, it is also a lot quicker than it used to. In terms of foundation, I actually don’t wear foundation that often anymore unless I’ve got something major to cover, but for the usual school drops, trips to the playground and supermarket, I am usually just reaching for a tinted moisturiser or a BB Cream. And one of those brand that I’ve long had my eyes on, is Skin79, so needless to say that I was excited when I was offered to try one via Style Story .  Skin79 is a Korean beauty brand, and they are said to be the first brand to pioneer the BB Cream, also known as Blemish Balm, and since then, the products have been re-formulated to bring vitality, radiance and health back into the skin to leave you with a gorgeous and glowing complexion. Skin79 has several different BB balms in the range, each that solve a variety of di

Today I am going to talk about a brand called Colorescience, with products designed especially for sensitive post-procedure skin, offering 365-day protection against UV rays and other environmental stressors. The makeup products are made with custom-refined minerals and nutrient-rich ingredients that are bendable while allowing the skin to breathe, and offering both immediate and long term benefits for the skin.  One of my long-time faves is the Colorescience Sunforgettable Tint Du Soleil™ SPF 30. This is a mineral-based lightweight foundation that combines makeup and sun protection into one wonder product. The antioxidant-rich formula blends easily and naturally into the skin, giving it a sheer coverage that is still covering any redness and minor pigmentation, and overall making the skin look more even, flawless and glowing.
