Fairy Tales

Respected Hair Care brand Fairy Tales has been thriving since 1999. Paediatricians, school nurses and the most honest source of all... moms, all recommend the brand with proof that it really works!!

Risa Barash and her husband Robert came up with the brand and were actually the first on the market to have an all natural hair care line proven to prevent the dreaded head lice for kids. Since then the brand has grown and there are some fab products on offer helping your children keep the healthiest, cleanest head of hair at an affordable price. 

Here are my top 3 picks:

Lifegaurd Clarifying Shampoo

12 fl oz $9.95

Restores sun damaged hair and removes chlorine too.

Aloe and Jojoba are included to leave hair soft and detangled after every wash.

This is the shampoo to try if you have little ones that are swimmers.

Just work up to a lather, leave on for a minute or two if you have the time for a deep cleanse.

Curly Q Shampoo

12 fl oz $12.95

I am a member of the curly hair crew and products like this through my childhood could have saved me (and my mom) some torment.

Lightweight formula that cleanses and moisturises with ease.

Jojoba, Vitamin E and Chamomile help to thoroughly cleanse and nourish from scalp to ends.

For best results follow with the Energising Leave in Conditioner (detangles, tames frizz and defines curls)

Bug Bandit

8 Fl oz $13.95 (also comes in smaller size)

Deet Free, non toxic, of course also safe for kids. Shake well and use on face and body. Spray on hands first to avoid any contact with eyes. The scent is what keeps the bugs away so shake and reapply regularly to keep your family bug free when on the go.

Perfect for children 3 plus.

Repels mosquitos, flies, fleas etc..

So much more on offer.. Check out the website at:

Cetaphil

One of my favourite brands of all times!!! 

I was first introduced to Cetaphil years and years ago when I studied makeup back in Sydney.

It was recommended by another Makeup Artist/Teacher at the time.. she raved and raved about how natural and great it was and how it worked on a number of clients with all different skin types etc etc... Since that day my personal beauty cabinet and also my work Makeup kit is always stocked with something from Cetaphil. 

See what is on offer.. Most dermatologists recommend Cetaphil for its gentle ingredients and healing purposes.

I have been lucky enough to try out some gems new to me from the brand.

Of course I LOVED all of them.

Absolutely affordable! No fancy packaging and sold at most pharmacies and available to purchase across the globe.

For a 16oz tub it costs only $10.99 for  Cetaphil's Moisturising Cream. 

Long lasting moisturization for areas that need the hydration.

Fragrance Free

Perfect for those with sensitive skin.. even those with Eczema, Psoriasis etc.

Creamy and rich and for those with super dry skin!

I especially love this for dry patches, elbows, knees, feet.

Another one for you all to stock up on..

Cetaphil Daily Facial moisturizer with Sunscreen (SPF15)

$14.99

Protects against UVA and UVB, non greasy, light weight formula that won't clog your pores.

This is great for those with skin conditions such as acne, rosacea, psoriasis and anyone with dry skin.

Since moving to LA I have been more concerned about finding great products which include the sun protection for everyday.

Seriously! Must try this brand if you haven't before.

UNITE

Great haircare is essential for healthy locks!

Growing up the oddball with frizzy, curly, unruly and dry red hair.. over the years I have formed a love of certain products that have helped tame my head of hair and shape them in to what I love today.. Yes high maintenance hair I have but wouldn't change it for the world. I enjoy looking and finding and learning about brands and finding gems within companies that really help troubled locks.

A great discovery of mine is Unite.. Over the years this brand has just got more and more popular backstage, fashion shows, among stylist, celebs.. it's time I shared this beauty love and beauty secret of mine.

Okay.. my absolute favourites from the brand.

U Luxury Conditioner

$43.00

Contains Argan Oil and Hawaiian White Honey.

Other ingredients like Sugar Cane, lemon, orange help seal the hair cuticle to lock in moisture.

Shiny, soft and smooth hair. LOVE

Leave on for the recommended 3 mins (5 if you have the time).. feels like a treatment and smells divine too.

Boing Curling Cream

Suited for all types of curls.. ringlets, loose, big, bouncy etc..

Great hold, not heavy! No crunch.. keeps your hair soft and in place eliminating the frizz. 

Apply to wet hair and I like to diffuse dry before leaving the house (as harsh winds outdoors can create frizz).

For natural healthy looking curls give this a shot please.

BioEffect

Anti Ageing serum that gives dramatically amazing results in just a couple weeks.

Praised by the beauty press and perhaps best kept beauty secret. 

Forget Botox.. try BioEffect's EGF Serum!

It is steeply priced at £125.00 but ongoing Botox treatments will blow your cash before you can say BioEffect.

Suits all skin types male or female and just a couple drops is all you need.

You will find it helps to reduce the signs of ageing, also helps with uneven pigmentation (primarily for the face but can be used on the body if desired).

Improves your complexion leaving you with radiant skin thats deeply moisturised.

Other fab results I have noticed.. 

Helps with any dry patches you may have and reduces pore sizes.

Manuka Doctor

Manuka Doctor is a brand you can find in all corners of the world.. Thankfully! 

Manuka Honey is a MUST HAVE in all forms for all households (I especially love the Manuka Honey just by the teaspoon for when i'm feeling down or that touch of boost for your immune, works a charm!). Manuka contains such great healing benefits, it is one of my most beloved ingredients and I truly am obsessed with Manuka Doctor. It is grown and harvested in New Zealand and packaged for us beauty lovers to smother ourselves with everyday.

Some of my absolute favourites from the brand are from the ApiNourish range..

ApiNourish Hydrating Facial Cleanser

$37.90 (USD)

Leaves skin looking radiant and renewed with a rich formula containing Purified Bee Venom, Manuka Honey and Royal Jelly. The facial cleanser removes makeup, dirt and oil. Just simply massage with fingers over face and neck for smooth and well hydrated skin and gently rinse off. The Manuka Honey AND also the Purified Bee Venom both work to protect and repair aging skin if this is a concern of yours.

Purified Bee Venom also helps with Acne prone skin as it contains natural antibiotic and anti inflammatory properties which helps to reduce inflamed skin. (Check out the ApiClear range for acne focused products).

Another absolute fav from the ApiNourish range.. 

Rejuvinating Face Mask

$84.50 (USD)

A unique pot of goodness!

Restores skin moisture and tone.

Stimulates Collagen production.

Firms and nourishes skin for that youthful complexion we all aspire for.

This mask can be used as a leave on moisturiser on the rare occasion if your skin needs it. Otherwise best used by applying over clean face. Leave on for 15-30 mins for best results. Then wipe using a damp cloth. Reveal soft, hydrated, healthy, glowing skin!
