Current Medik8 Skincare Favourites

Friday, 15 April 2016

There's a new video up on my YouTube channel featuring some of my favourite skincare from Medik8 Australia and a couple of new products from SkinCeuticals.

I've been using products from Medik8 for probably around a year now and my skin has never looked better, had a more even tone or been more soft and subtle than it is now.

As I've mentioned in previous posts, I am super fussy about what goes on my skin and I can say without any hesitation that every product I've ever tried from Medik8 has been fabulous.

I suffered from severe rosacea up until around the time I started using the Medik8 products and the only thing keeping it at bay before was a huge amount of antibiotics.  Obviously I didn't like pumping my body full of unnecessary drugs so when I found Medik8 and saw results, I was over the moon.

Each product I've tried targets specific concerns and those specific concerns have either improved dramatically or disappeared altogether with prolonged use of Medik8 products.

My all time favourite and holiest of grails is the Glow Oil.  This is the most fantastic product I've ever used on my skin.  With continued use over a period of time, your skin becomes more hydrated, your skin looks healthier and more vibrant and it even helps reduce those nasty under eye bags.

What I notice most about the Glow Oil is just that - my skin is literally glowing after using this product for a couple of months.  I even tested the product by stopping using it for a couple of weeks and switching to a different oil.  While my skin stayed hydrated, it lost the glow and looked dull.

Needless to say I immediately switched back to the Glow Oil and I wouldn't be without it.  I start to panic when I know I'm running low so I know I love this product.

Medik8 put so much effort into developing products that work with the best ingredients and the right strength.  Their products are sold in professional outlets such as doctor's offices, skincare clinics, beauty salons and spas all over the world.  Medik8's team have over 40 years combined experience in skincare research so you can rest assured you are putting the best products on your skin.

Now I am in my mid-40s I strive to have the best skin I can and I am confident that Medik8 can deliver what I need.

I am currently trailling more Medik8 products and I will report back when I feel comfortable that I've tried them for long enough to be able to give you an educated opinion.

All the products mentioned in the video are listed in the description bar below the video.

My Current Favourite Kiehl's Skincare

Tuesday, 5 April 2016

As a lifestyle and blogger, I get a large amount of products sent to me for review.  I also purchase a large amount of products, because I can't help myself.  Not all of these products turn out to be winners, but I've found some that are.

After several years of rosacea and generally unhealthy skin, I am VERY particular about my skincare. and what goes on my face.  It's taken me a long time to find brands I trust and products within those brands that I love.

I now feel like I've got control of my skin and have a good range of great skincare.  So I thought I'd start a skincare series on my YouTube channel and blog to share what I love.

The first video features some gorgeous products from Kiehl's Australia.

A couple of these products are new to my collection, the rest are long-time loves that I wouldn't be without.  For my 44 year-old skin, Kiehl's is a fabulous brand and I would be lost without it.

Kiehl's products are available online, in David Jones and Myer stores across the country and they also have their own Kiehl's stores in several major shopping centres.  There is a store locator on the website.

If you are after some great skincare recommendations, pop into one of the stores and have a chat to one of the friendly skincare staff.

As I change my skincare and add new products to my regime, I will do further videos and blog posts to let you know what other goodies I've found.

I've listed all the products in the description bar below the video, for your reference.

Bundle Monster Fuzzy & Ferocious Stamping Plate Review

Monday, 14 March 2016

I've got a review up on my YouTube channel of the Fuzzy & Ferocious (set 1) stamping plates from Bundle Monster.

This is a great set of plates if you love animal nail art.  The plates have various different designs on them from animal print to wild animals and cute cuddly ones.

They're well etched and stamp perfectly every time.  Great value for money at $14.99USD for the set (10 plates) and you get free shipping on orders over $25USD.

I've listed all the products I used in the description bar below the video.

Product Purge Part 1 - Empties & Old Beauty Products 1

Monday, 25 January 2016

At the best of times you could call me a mini-hoarder and with all the products I purchase and get sent, I decided it was time to go through the drawers and drawers of older products I've had sitting around for far longer than I should, and throw things out.

I have a  moderately embarrassing pile of products that I'm either getting rid of because:
  1. I didn't like the product
  2. It's significantly out of date
  3. I've moved on to something else
  4. I've hoarded so much crap this product needs to go
If my hoarding carried on, I could see myself being featured on one of those 'hoarder' shows, or visitors would have to walk through precariously balanced tunnels of crap whilst trying to navigate the house!  Possibly a slight exaggeration but I have a good imagination.

It felt really good to throw a heap of stuff out, and there's still a heap more to go.  So I've done a three part series and this is part 1.

I should also mention, I recycled anything I could and I passed on any products that were suitable to friends and family.



I'm going to be doing this on a more regular basis from now on, and after being inspired by Caroline Hirons, I will be looking into donating anything suitable to a women's shelter.

Party Collection Glitters - Magpie Beauty

Hey everyone,

Magpie Beauty have done it again!  They've come up with yet another beautiful collection of glitters that you're going to love!

This is the Party Collection and it consists of four colours (from left to right) Genna, Coco, Amira and Amelia.  They're just gorgeous and I am slightly obsessed with Amelia already. 

These glitters are great for Autumn and all the holidays that are coming up.  They're available from the Magpie Beauty website or The Creative Beauty Group.  

I highly recommend these glitters above any others I use.

I've listed the products and links in the description bar below the video and I will have a nail art tutorial coming up very soon using the gorgeous Amelia.

Enjoy,

Serendipity Gel Polish | Bundle Monster

Tuesday, 29 September 2015

Serendipity Gel Polish - Bundle Monster

Hey everyone,

I've got a new video up on my YouTube channel reviewing the Serendipity gel polish collection from Bundle Monster.

The colours are gorgeous and they're packed full of little micro sequins that give the gel polish that little something extra and they're super cute.

You can buy the set of three or individually. 

I wanted to see what they looked like with stamping over them and I think they look fantastic.  You can still see the little sequins through the stamping and it's a little more exciting to look at than regular stamping.


I've used the Shangri-La plates and mega stamper, also from Bundle Monster and black and white stamping polish from Nail Stamping Queen.  Nail Stamping Queen stamping polish is now available in the UK through the lovely Sarah Richardson's brand new Etsy store.  If you are in the UK and interested in purchasing, you can find Sarah's store here: Nail Stamping Queen UK.

All products used are listed in the description bar below the video.

Birthday Stamping Collab With Sarah R

Friday, 18 September 2015

Birthday Stamping Collab With Sarah R

Hey everyone,

Sarah and I celebrated our birthdays last month and we decided (better late than never) to do a Birthday Collab and we decided to do whatever we wanted.

We both ended up using the amazing new stamping plates from Yours Cosmetics, in collaboration with the lovely Sascha Gossen.  

I've also used a beautiful pigment called Connie, a Magpie Dust from Magpie Beauty, one of my favourite stampers from Fab Ur Nails which you can also purchase from Yours Cosmetics and a black stamping polish, As Black As Night, from Hit The Bottle.  I've done the design over a base of Soothing from Gel II.

I wanted a subtle background so the stamping really stood out and I love how they turned out.

I've listed all the products I used in the description bar below the video, along with the links to Sarah's video and her social media so please go and check her out.

Enjoy,

Marble Stone Nails Using Alcohol Ink *** UPDATED ***

Monday, 24 August 2015

Marble Stone Nails Using Alcohol Ink

Hey everyone,

I've had lots of requests for an updated video on the 'turquoise stone' nail art I did a while back.  People have been struggling with the polish in the water and the hairspray not breaking up the polish properly.

Soooo I've been experimenting with other ways to achieve the same look and I've found that you can create a similar look using alcohol inks.

I've been playing around with the alcohol inks for a few weeks and come up with some pretty cool nails.  You can use any coloured gels and any colour of alcohol inks depending on the look you are after.

I've done a video to show you how easy these nails are to create.

All the products I used are listed in the description bar below the video.

B.Loves Stamping Polishes, Plates & Stamper

Hey everyone,

I got a huge box of goodies from B.Loves this morning and I couldn't wait to have a play.

OMG the stamping polishes are divine!  If you are an avid stamper you definitely need these in your life.  They stamp great over white and amazingly over black, so they will be great over any colour you want to use.

I'm showing all the B.Loves stamping plates in this video, and particularly the new B.04 Leaves of Happiness - the newest plate in the series, which is full of gorgeous leaf images.

I've also got a great stamper I am using for the first time, and I really like it!

All the products used are listed in the description bar below the video.

I also have a load more B.Loves products to review in another video coming soon :-)

Enjoy,
