The Organic Pharmacy

There are so many wonderful products from The Organic Pharmacy.
The brand has won several beauty awards for some amazing formulations!
Below are 3 products I tried and tested that you all must know about. 

Organic Health Care, Organic Makeup, Organic Skincare, Organic Fragrances..


Antioxidant Face Firming Serum
This is the ultimate serum for radiant skin.. Use alone after cleansing (Just a couple of drops is all you need - a little goes a VERY long way) or.. Add a couple of drops to your face moisturiser for all the benefits.
35 ml will set you back $149.00 but as mentioned above just a drop or two is all you need daily. Customers have nicknamed this 'The Instant Face Lift'.
Great for reversing skin damage, helps with wrinkles, firmness and skin tone.
Contains Vitamin C, E and Rosehip!


Neroli Shower Gel
For soft, fresh skin cleanse your body with this deliciously smelling body wash. (There are other scents to choose from also). Contains Rose, Aloe, Lemon, Grapefruit and of course Neroli for nourishing skin. It leaves you feeling smooth without stripping any natural oils from your skin. It is so relaxing to use this in a bubble bath also.. Just soak all your worries away.


Mother and Baby Massage Oil
We all know I'm a sucker for any product containing Lavender.. This oil smells divine, takes you to a calm place and relaxes you and your baby. I also think it makes for such a thoughtful gift! 
(Christmas is just around the corner people)
Also includes Chamomile, jojoba.. YUM
Massage in to your baby for a soothing nights sleep.
Convenient pump!

I have yet to meet someone who hasn't fallen in love with Italy upon visiting!! The love, the food, the people, the clothes, the skincare.. I could go on. I for one never want to leave when I am there. 
Skin & Co is a wonderful skincare brand established right in the middle of Italy and is now loved and used across the globe. I have been smothering my body with the brand the past couple weeks and have had some great results.

A couple of favourites of mine..

Truffle Body Gel
$18.50
It contains black truffle extract which not only washes and cleans your body leaving it feeling soft and supple, it also has powerful anti oxidants and anti ageing qualities so great for those with concerns of sagging skin or fine lines.


If you love the scent as much as I do.. (smells of coconut to me)
then skip your fragrance for the day and complete your pamper with

Truffle Therapy Body Milk
$35.00
Comes as a pump so easy and handy to use.
Rich in Vitamins and Anti Oxidants and is just what your skin needs for the ultimate nourishment.
Argan Oil, Shea Butter and Olive Oil are just a few ingredients included. Your skin will drink this up and don't be afraid to use everyday all over the body.

Malin and Goetz


Modern day apothecary at it's best.
Perfect for those with sensitive skin. 
For Men and Women.

I was invited to the Larchmont Blvd store here in Los Angeles.. I had a great morning learning about the brand, trying the wonderful products and am officially sold on the brand!! LOVE the concept, LOVE the packaging, LOVE the stylish presentations (of all of the stores). 
Just LOVE Malin and Goetz.



Matthew Malin suffers from Rosacea, Eczema, Seborrhea, fragrance allergies and dry skin.. This led him to years of trial and error which taught him.. There is no cure!.. There is no permanent cure. But by using the right products and the right ingredients can bring so much relief to you, friends, family members..

This inspired Matthew and his partner Andrew Goetz to create the brand in 2004 and help others. Since then, after much hard work from the creative duo the brand has sky rocketed. Celebs are huge fans too!
Both men have a wealth of knowledge behind them.

My favourite picks..

Eucalyptus Deodorant
73g $18.00
Alcohol and aluminium free. Best Seller

Its a clear balm.. so no stains left on your clothes either.

60 hours of burn time. Smaller size available too.
This candle is so inviting!
Pairs phenomenally with Malin and Goetz Mojito Candle

Memoire Liquide


Absolutely gorgeous scents, gorgeous packaging, gorgeous displays and a gorgeous brand!
Memoire Liquide Parfums have been around since 1984. 
Made with essential oils and pure perfume essences.
You have the opportunity to custom blend a fragrance at Fred Segal in Santa Monica (which I have blogged in the past with much love) with a consultant or pick up a pre formulated scent and products which has been carefully thought out by expert perfumers from many stores such as Nordstrom, Henri Bendel etc.


If you are after a new perfume, check out Memoire Liquide.. You're senses will thank you for it, trust me. It is the ultimate treat and also such a gift would make anyone smile ear to ear. =

I am in love with Memoire Liquide Fleur Liquide from the Reserve Edition
It is presented in a beautiful vintage style book. When you flip the cover open you find your fragrance inside like a hidden jewel. Choose one favourite or go all out with a collection and create your own unique scents at home by layering the different parfums.


Fleur Liquide
Notes: Orange Blossom, Fresh Mimosa and Night Blooming Jasmine.

In addition you can also purchase in the same scents a Body Cream 'Creme de la Creme'
It is rich, velvety, smells divine and perfect for those who love soft nourished skin with a scent added. 
I love this for special evenings out. 


Another favourite of mine is Armour Liquide
It has a romantic feel to it and smells divine containing Madagascar Vanilla, Tonka Bean and Incense.
You can purchase the fragrance and the Creme de la Creme as a box set.. the minute you open the box, the wonderful scent fills your room. Its relaxing, calming, sensual and rich.




Remember... Be Remembered...

ERB


This week I have been lucky enough to try out some products from Erb. A luxurious skincare and home fragrance brand straight from Thailand (everyones dream destination). The company has been around since 2000 and are becoming more and more available and popular across the globe stocked among 10 different countries worldwide in spas, hotels and of course department stores. 

Erb offers many products from Aroma Candles, Essential Oils, face, body, haircare and much more complete with wonderful scents native to Thailand.

Leave the world behind and step in to bliss at home with these relaxing products.

My favourite picks from the brand..

ERB Spice and Shine Gel Body Scrub
Gently exfoliate those dead skin cells away and reveal glowing and refreshed skin. This is such a treat and best used just once or twice a week over your body. Smells divine with ingredients such as Tamarind, Ginger, Tumeric and Marigold. All ingredients have there own particular benefit that work wonders on skin. For example Ginger stimulates circulation and Tamarind gently exfoliates. 
Actually check out on the website 'INGREDIENTS'.. I love learning what different ingredients can do for you. 


ERB Aromatic Hand Cream
I am perhaps crazy when it comes to washing my hands.. constantly washing my hands at work, home.. clean freak!! So my best friend is always a hand cream to moisturise and nourish to keep my hands supple at all times. Velvety texture with Jasmine, Mint and Rice. Mint relieves stress, jasmine is added to soften and soothe and Rice Cream thoroughly moisturises with Vitamin B.
Love the packaging too.. Makes a great gift!! 


Now something for the home, the whole family can enjoy.

ERB Orient Express Reed Diffuser
Looks soooo beautiful in any room of the house! 
Just simply enjoy the scent!
Bergamot
Lemongrass 
Mint
