Each autumn when the temperature drops, but otherwise combination skin always seems to get a shock and goes a little dry. But this year, I’ve got the newly launched Peter Thomas Roth Water Drench Hydrating Toner Mist to help out.. One of those most recent discoveries, is Peter Thomas Roth, and I’ve simply been amazed at the quality and efficacy of the products. I’ve recently talked about the Rose Stem Cell Range which you can read more about here , and the Glycolic Range, which you can read more about here .  Having combination skin, prone to breakouts, it is not usually intensely hydrating products I am seeking out, but with my skin going drier with the cooler weather, plus a planned trip to Europe next month (and we all know what long haul flights to to the skin!!), needless to say that I was excited when the Peter Thomas Roth Water Drench Hydrating Toner Mist* landed on my desk.  The Toner Mist is designed to drench the skin with hydration, also helping to visibly reduce the appear

A month has passed, and I am back with another amazing selection of products available from Beautopia Hair & Beauty  , a nd if you’ve not yet shopped them, then  you really must check out their website, as they stock so many cool brands within hair, skincare and makeup, and all at very affordable prices.  This month I’ve been putting the following to the test; Santorini Professional Hair Brush*  Pixi Beauty Retinol Tonic*  Jeval Infusions Argan Oil & Hemp Seed Skin Butter*  Eco by Sonya Driver Eye Compost*  Let’s start with the Santorini Professional Hair Brush . This hair brush comes in a gorgeous French blue shade, although is also available in other colours such as yellow and purple. The plastic hairbrush has a soft ‘cushion’ that makes it easy to brush out my long thick hair, whether it is wet or dry. Easily handling tangles and knots, without too much pulling. A great brush, that’s very affordable too! Next is the Jeval Infusions Argan Oil & Hemp Seed Skin Butter . I’

Did you know that the average woman is said to own 40 beauty products, yet use just 12 each day!! - Ok, as a beauty blogger, I actually admit to owning way way more than 40, and probably also have a more involved skincare routine than most, simply as I am always trying out different things to be able to share with you guys.  Because women are generally owning so many products, yet not using, in a bit of a Marie Kondo style, Arbonne is challenging Australians to take a hard look at their beauty drawers to make sure that all of their beauty products actually spark joy, has not expired, and does not contain any ingredients found on Arbonne’s “Not Allowed List”, in other words to a #DrawerDetox  There are a lot of products not allowed in Arbonne’s products, there are actually over 2000 banned ingredients, but here are their top 10; Parabens - some of these have been linked to endocrine disruption that may increase the risk of certain cancers Petrolatum, also known as petroleum jelly, which

My skin has all days played up, and even today, where I should be focussing on anti-ageing, and fighting the lines, wrinkles and pigmentation, my breakouts are still another key skincare concern. Often finding skincare products that will target both anti-ageing and my breakouts can be difficult, but I recent years, I’ve discovered that using retinol as well as glycolic products seem to make a difference. I’ve put some products from Peter Thomas Roth’s Glycolic Solutions range to the test.. The Peter Thomas Roth’s Glycolic Solutions range is designed for combination, oily and problem skin, to help visibly improve the look of fine lines, wrinkles, radiance, uneven skin tone, pores and rough texture, and I’ve put the following products to the test; Peter Thomas Roth 3% Glycolic Solutions Cleanser* Peter Thomas Roth 8% Glycolic Solutions Toner* Peter Thomas Roth 10% Glycolic Solutions Moisturizer* The Peter Thomas Roth 3% Glycolic Solutions Cleanser is an oil free, anti-ageing and exfolia

I’m relatively new to Pixi Beauty, but have absolutely loved the few products I’ve tried so far (you can read more about Pixi Glow Tonic, Glow Mud Cleanser and Glow Peel Pads here ).  So when I was offered to try the Pixi  Skintreats  Rose Besties from Beautopia Hair & Beauty , I couldn’t be more excited.  The Pixi Skintreats Rose Besties, is a gift set containing; Pixi Rose Cream Cleanser, 135ml Pixi Rose Tonic, 250ml These products are intended for all skin types and intended to give a dose of soothing, nutrient rich hydration for thirsty skin, for the ultimate hydrated glow. The Pixi Skintreats Rose Cream Cleanser is made using mineral rich mud to help cleanse the skin, rose and avocado to condition, as well as chamomile and aloe vera to soothe. It is a very gentle cleansers, so it is also suitable for sensitive skin. The cleanser doesn’t foam up, and while it can remove most makeup (I do find I need a specific eye makeup remover for my long-wearing mascara), I prefer to use it

I admit that, while I am a total skincare junkie, one step I am notoriously bad at skipping, is toner. I am not really sure why, as I do love not just that a toner can remove any remaining cleansing residue, but also refreshen the skin, and prepare for the subsequent serums and moisturisers. So when the Enbacci Vitis Vinifera Rejuvenating Essence* landed on my desk, I couldn’t wait to try it.. I have previously put some of the products from Enbacci to the test including the Age Revitalising Eye Defence with Apple Stem Cells, which you can read more about here , the Complete Body Firming Lotion, which you can read about here , and 3-step masking system, which you can read more about here . Anyway, back to the  Vitis Vinifera Rejuvenating Essence, which is using  purple grape stem cells as its key ingredient. These are high in the antioxidant anthocyanin which helps to eliminate free radicals and combat UV induced damage in the skin. The grape stem cells don’t repair the damaged skin cel

I was recently introduced to  Beautopia Hair & Beauty   which is an Australian company selling a large range of premium hair and beauty products, both online, and through their stores. And I was quite excited when they reached out and offered that I could try some of the products available in their store.  I decided that I would love to try some products from Pixi Beauty - which is one of those beauty brands everyone’s raving about, and for some reason, I’ve only ever tried a few of their products, so I naturally jumped at the opportunity, beyond excited to put some more products to the test.  Pixi Beauty is a UK brand, that was launched over 15 years ago by makeup artist & product developer Petra Strand in the flagship boutique in Soho, London. Since then, the brand has achieved a worldwide following, thanks to the innovative formulations that are infused with botanicals and beneficial ingredients, making them multitasking, flaw-fixing, youth-enhancing products for women on-th
