I have previously talked about the Australian brand Skinstitut, and today I am very excited to be putting some further products from heir large range to the test… 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 their products are priced around 50% less than other comparative brands, with all products having a recommended retail price of $49 or less, and you can frequently find great offers on various online beauty shopping sites too, such as Active Skin , RY and Facial Co , so just how amazing is that! Now, let’s talk about the products I’ve put to the test; Skinstitut Glycolic Cleanser 12%*  Skinstitut Glycolic Scrub 14%*  Skinstitut Enzymatic Micro Peel*  Skinstitut

I have all days been addicted to hand creams, as I simply don’t like the feeling of dry hands, and during winter it gets even worse. And it is super easy to forget looking after the hands, and we really should as they are one of the first areas to show signs of ageing. So I love that Enbacci has whole collection dedicated to keeping the hands softer, and more beautiful and younger looking.  The Enbacci Nourishing Hand Wash* with coconut oil and glycerine, to repair damaged skin cells, restore hydration and purify and disinfect the skin from harmful surface bacteria caused by environmental pollutants. Yet at the same time, it doesn’t dry out the hands, but leave them feeling clean, soft and smooth. I love that it has a fresh fruity scent too, it smells absolutely amazing. The Enbacci Brightening Hand & Nail Cream* contains aloe, shea butter, coconut oil and sweet almond oil, vitamin A and E, and it promises to help brighten sun and age spots and reduce wrinkles and fine lines, w

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... Anyway, I’ve put a selection of the Paula’s Choice skincare products to the test; Paula’s Choice Perfect Cleansing Oil* Paula’s Choice Resist Youth-Extending Daily Hydrating Fluid* Paula’s Choice Resist Daily Pore-Refining Treatment 2% BHA* Paula’s choice Resist 1% Retinol Booster* Let’s start with the Paula’s Choice Perfect Cleansing Oil . I absolutely love cleansing oils. Its my preferred type of makeup remover, and I always use one as my first cleanse. This one is made using a blend of plant oils, and massaging about two pumps into my skin, it quickly and easily dissolves and removes my makeup, including any long wearing makeup and waterproof eye m

My two little have taken from their dad, and sadly have very sensitive skin, so we cannot just anything to care for their skin, but using the right gentle products is essential. And one of those brands I've always loved, is Wotnot.  Wotnot is an Australian brand making eco-friendly natural skin and baby care products, containing nothing but natural and certified organic ingredients, and without all the chemical nasties such as sulphates, alcohol, chlorine, petrochemicals, PEGs, parabens, artificial fragrances or preservatives - with the slogan "100% wot's good, 0% wot's not". And seriously, ‘wot’s’ not to love! We’ve put a selection of their products to the test including;  Wotnot  Baby Wipes Wotnot  Travel Case Wotnot  All Natural Baby Wash  Wotnot  Baby Lotion  Wotnot  Deep Moisturising 30 SPF Sunscreen  The Wotnot Biodegradable Wipes* are actually now new to us, we’ve used them longest time. I love the fact that they are so gentle that they are suitable even o

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. It can also be built up slightly where required. The foundation also adds intense hydration to the skin - but without ‘drowning' my combination skin, and is
