I've got a new video up on my YouTube channel today. It's the June Unboxing of the Lust Have It bag.
This month we got three deluxe samples, one full size product and one mystery product picked out by the Lust Have It team.
The box (bag) costs $19.95 monthly or $250 a year. The boxes contain five+ deluxe samples every month and they come in a handy hot pink mesh cosmetics bag.
I usually have a $5 discount code but from now on the lovely ladies at Lust Have It have upped the discount to $10 off your first box.
To redeem the $10 off your first box, simply enter DIXIEGIRL1 at checkout.
All products in this month's box are listed in the description bar below the video.
I've got a new and super exciting unboxing up on my YouTube channel. The Maslow & Co USA West Coast Beauty Box has SOLD OUT already! Even though it has sold out, you can buy the individual full size products on the Maslow & Co website.
This box has a range of skincare, haircare and beauty products and after a fantastic New Zealand box, it doesn't disappoint. As I mentioned in my last blog post, this subscription box blows any other box I receive out of the water. The quality of the box is superb and the range of products is well thought out and appeals to a wide age range (even though I secretly think that Maslow & Co made these boxes just for me).
The Maslow & Co boxes are bi-monthly and there are several options you can choose when it comes to ordering:
An annual subscription with an up-front payment of $240. This will give you 6 boxes with a value of over $700.
Bi-monthly, billed bi-monthly at a cost of $44 per box with no lock-in contract.
Why not treat someone you love to these amazing boxes? You can purchase a one-off box for $54, a six month subscription (giving you 3 boxes) for $132, or the one year subscription for $240.
Anyone who signs up for a Bi-Monthly membership will receive a luxury travel set featuring the ila spa Shampoo For Revitalising Hair and Conditioner For Nourishing Hair. Harnessing the true powers of natural ingredients, ila spa creates products to nourish beyond the physical. Value: $16. *This product was featured in our UK Edit. Great for all hair types! At checkout, use the code DIXIE to redeem. Expires 31 July! The next box is the East Coast USA box and it's on sale now and due out in August which will be super exciting for me as its my Birthday month! I can't recommend this box highly enough. I've been so impressed with everything from the super speedy deliver, careful packaging and fantastic well thought out rang of products. I've listed everything that comes in the box in the description box below the video. I hope you like it as much as I do. If you do want the East Coast USA box, subscribe quickly because these babies run out the door super fast! Enjoy, Dixie Girlxox
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.
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.
I've got a new video update up on my YouTube channel showing my progress with the NEWA by HoMedics.
I can't rave highly enough about this product. I've seen some amazing results in my skin feeling tighter and the lines I have near my mouth have reduced massively.
It's a great treatment that you can do in the comfort of your own home as often or as little as you want.
HoMedics Australia have given a NEWA to give to one of my viewers so go check out the video for details on how to enter.
All product information is in the description bar below the video.
I've been sent the NEWA by HoMedics to trial and I'm going to be videoing my progress.
NEWA is an at-home skin rejuvenation system that helps promote collagen production, reduce wrinkles, tighten skin and improve the skin's overall appearance.
So over the next two weeks I am going to be using the NEWA five times a week and then I will do another video to show my progress.
I'll make sure I have some good close-up before and after photos so you see the difference for yourself.
I've linked where you can purchase the NEWA from in the description bar below the video.
Wednesday Weight Update & Makeup Look Using NYX Cosmetics
Update on my weight loss this week is not so good and I am totally and utterly exhausted. So please excuse my croaky voice, frizzy hair and massive eye bags!
I have seen a huge improvement in my skin and I am putting that down to Dermalogica and Nip+Fab. I am using the Ultra Calming range from Dermalogica and this week the Nip+Fab Bee Sting Fix Eye Night Cream has been a life saver. I'm also loving the Nip+Fab Glycolic Fix Pads for a gentle exfoliation.
I will be using more NYX Cosmetics products in makeup looks in the future so if this one isn't the best, my apologies.
I have very sick little dogs at home and I've been up nursing them for the last week so very little sleep unfortunately and I am now really struggling :-(
I've done two lip looks for this video. The first one I felt was a little too red and I wanted something a little darker and more berry toned so I have used a Maybelline product but I have found a NYX colour that would be perfect so that will be coming my way soon :-)
Anyway, here's the video and all products are listed in the description bar of the video, as per usual.
