Skinfix

We are still trekking through snow, ice, wind, rain here in NY..

It is so important to take care of your skin all year round.

I make sure my Skinfix products are never to far away.

Who has Dry Skin? Dermatitis? Eczema?

Body Repair Balm will be your savior!

$17.99 USD well worth it.

This is one of those 'do it all' tubes of magic.

This will calm irritations, redness, itching.. and will reduce any flare ups you may be suffering. 

I love to use this on dry patches.. Heels, elbows, knees. 

Thick and nourishing cream to help those areas that need it.. Rich and concentrated.

My skin just drinks this up.

Contains Almond Oil which leaves a gorgeous scent on your skin in a natural way.

I am absolutely LOVING this Daily Lotion. 

It is perfect!

Light and so easy and handy to apply in this pump bottle. 

Helps ultra Dry skin.

Deeply moisturizers and is great for sensitive skins (can even help those again suffering eczema and dermatitis)

Gentle natural scent. 

Wonderful for everyday use.

Often those moisturizers that target super dry skins are thick, heavy and take forever to smooth in to skin.. this is the total opposite. It is lightweight! Non greasy and smooth and quick to apply.

Make sure to check out all the other wonderful and helpful products in the range.

Hada Labo

I have mentioned this brand in the past and yes still a lover of Hada Labo!

I believe NEW to the brand and what a great addition. 

I have been addicted to these..

Ultimate Anti Aging Facial Mask

4 Masks in a box for just $15.00

Sooooo affordable! Luxury Spa Treatment at home for a fraction of what you would pay at a salon.

This a quick 10 minute mask.. That I and my clients have been loving. 

100% cotton mask which fits snug to your skin.. leave for ten mins and notice stronger and more nourished skin.

Feels smooth on the skin and leaves you feeling younger and refreshed in minutes.

These are so fab before a night out.. or even a sat night in with a film. 

I love to travel with these and will stock up for summer getaways.. especially when heading to hot climates. 

The ultimate relaxation!

LOVE

Racinne

This is a new brand to me.. and oh how happy I was when I stumbled upon such great skincare.

Racinne is just a few years old (a baby) yet it is in demand and on sale all across the globe (Aus, UK, US, HK..)

The masks are sensational.. my favourite is 

Ultimate Hydra Perfection Gentle Refining Scrub Mask

Lets first start by mentioning it contains lemongrass and peach.. so you can just imagine how delicious it smells. It is a nourishing exfoliant that leaves you feeling and smelling so fresh and revitalised. The Madk works to remove build up from pores, dull, dead skin cells to reveal radiant healthy skin.

Once a week made such a difference in my skin.

Another I fell in love with.. Was 

Racinne Ultimate Hydra Perfection Gentle Cleansing Foam

This is a super gentle foam cleanser enriched with flower waters, smells delish and is light and airy on the skin while effectively cleansing. Simply massage in to damp skin and rinse off to reveal what feels like new skin. 

A little goes a long way. 

Make sure to check out all the other great products on offer..

Neutrogena

This is the first time I have ever blogged Neutrogena.. and really a little baffled as to why. I am a big fan of the brand and it has been around since my childhood and beyond for a reason! 

I have picked a couple of my absolute favs to share with you all..

Neutrogena Naturals Purifying Makeup Remover Cleansing Towelettes

25 wipes $6.99 USD

I use wipes for work like theres no tomorrow.. I have tried numerous brands and these are so great for sensitive skin. They remove makeup without having to rub and rub.. They are soft yet strong enough to remove waterproof mascara and if for personal use are so great for travel. 

I love the little fact I learnt for all those anti wipe folk..

"Those who switch from traditional face washing can save up to 1500 gallons of water each year per user!"

Next up.. Ok it may be frrrrreezing here in NY.. Ice, snow etc.. But soon enough the sun will be out shining down on us! I CAN NOT WAIT. Like many I LOVE summer.. and spring. I learnt the hard way.. SPF is so important and so necessary. 

Neutrogena CoolDry Sport Spray SPF 70, 155g $11.99

(also comes in SPF 30 $9.99 USD)

This is sweat resistant for 80 minutes

Also water resistant for 80 minutes

Easy to apply! Just spray on! I LOVE

Great for sport, great for travel.

This feels light and fresh rather then greasy and heavy on your skin. 

Next up is a super cool product..

Neutrogena Nourishing Long Wear Eye Shadow and Built in Primer

$9.99 USD

6 shades to choose from.. I love Smokey Steel.

This will keep you looking sexy for 12 hours! No creasing, soft application and rich in colour.

This particular palette is formulated with Vitamins and conditioners for the eye area so no dragging the sensitive area.

Each palette comes with 4 shades to create the ultimate smokey eye.

Check out some other great products.. Cleansers,  acne, body, bath they cover it all..

Bright, clear skin is important in Japanese heritage and still to this day is prized..

Most dermatologist will tell you to protect your skin with SPF.. So it is only natural I highlight this amazing product if you wish to really take care of your skin.

29ml $30.00 (USD)

SPF and Makeup Primer enhanced with brightening ingredients.

This will leave a flawless finish whilst protecting you from the UV rays.. to use all year round.

Another favorite..

Aubrey

This brand of organic products is sold all across the globe! All natural skin care and Hair care to fall in love with. Such an affordable range of products to suit everybody's needs.. (Men, Baby, Spa..) 

I have fallen in love with Calming Skin Therapy Cleansing Wipes which are so soothing.. I love them and so have my clients. They are hydrating and remove makeup without leaving that dry feeling that other brands have the tendency to do.. 25 wipes for approx. $5.00 is an absolute steal.. They are wonderful for those suffering with sensitive skin.

Wipes may not be ideal everyday.. But I love these for on the go beauty fixes! Traveling.. these are perfect. We have all had those nights when you just could'nt be bothered with the whole skin routine after a night out! These are my savior.

They contain lavender and Aloe so smell refreshing.

Another steal at approx $8.00 (USD)

Calming Skin Therapy Serum.

I just love Serums.. These are also a must have for those with sensitive skin. My skin personally needs more attention over the winter and more colder months so this helps with that!

Aubrey has been around since 1967 so they must be doing something right!

I love to apply this in the evening and sleep on for an ultra nourishing effect. It also doubles as a makeup remover! We all know how much I love Lavender.. so extra points as this contains Lavender! 

Combats redness and soothes stressed skin (for me.. the windy days get to me.. So I apply this everyday for healing purposes)

DenTek

I very rarely talk Oral Hygiene.. But now that I have a little kid and also as I get older I have definitely upped my teeth game. DenTek has so many nifty little gadgets to keep your mouth in order.

Flossing is something I always dreaded as a kid but DenTek has made it fun for the little ones..

Check out these fun flossers.. Wild Fruit flavors! Easy handles. Colorful handles to help teach kids oral care habits for life. Always supervise kids under 10.

This one is for the big kids.. Minty flavours. Great for tight teeth and sensitive gums. I personally love the silky tape for a gentle yet effective floss. So necessary to remove plaque and food!

Now there is no excuse for when you are on the road.. or traveling, have meetings.. These Floss Picks and Case are just so great. Quirky colors to choose from.. and keep your floss hygenic while you are on the go. Slip in your pocket, purse, travel case. Love these.

This is such a fun Christmas Gift for those out there who struggle to blow dry.. This may just make there lives a little easier for 2015. So this is sort of a Hair Brush/Blow Dry/Hot Roller Set in one!

Included is 6 medium rollers and one Handle.

This is a simple way for professional results. Simple use as you would a round brush when blowdrying and detach the roller in your hair.  the very important step to have that curl have hold.. along with product/hairspray etc.. is to let it cool in its place. So let it set to cool in your hair before you get a glorious curl to let free. 

Six rollers is not enough for your whole head.. but it only needs to sit in place till cool.. So by the time you have reached your 6th roller.. you can take out and reuse the first one you used. Or just set the top 6 on your head.. and give the bottom hair a slight curly when blowdrying to make it uniform.

There are different sizes and different packs to choose from depending on the texture and length of your hair.. I love the medium for me. 

$49.99 (USD)

Take a look online and see what I am rambling about..

Happy thanksgiving y'all.

All you need to do.. Its quick and easy. Unfold towelette. Apply to dry and clean skin in circular motions and just wait 2-4 hours to notice the color to appear.

It is not very often I post on Health products... But you all know by now how strongly I feel about Beauty and Health coinciding with one another. So I hope you enjoy the read my lovely followers!! 

I recently took part in a Juice Cleanse.. For the blog! For you guys!

I was excited to give it a go.. and actually wasn't as hard as I initially thought. This was my first ever juice cleanse. I felt clean and honestly when cleanse was all done with I felt guilty somehow.. putting meat and bread back in my body. 

Huge thanks OnJuice for supplying me with all my juices!! 

http://www.onjuice.com/

I actually fell in love with my morning juice.. Mint Condition

The juices with spinach.. not my fav! But great for your body. Great source of iron.

yum yum yum!

So I did a 3 day Specialty Complexion Cure Juice Cleanse with OnJuice.

2 days pre cleanse detox

3 days on juice and raw selected foods (mainly fruit and veg)

7 day post juice cleanse detox!

The Juices were packed with yummy goodness.. Filled with fruit and veg that improved elasticity in my skin and made my skin absolutely radiant! The ingredients in this particular cleanse is high in antioxidants and contains Vitamins A, B, C and E..

3 Day Cleanse comes to $150 for 12 bottles. 

4 bottles of juice a day which actually is a lot of juice! Non stop drinking, allowed water of course additional and OnJuice sent me a RAWSOME diet to follow too. 

I think a Juice Cleanse is fab! A great way to ease in to a diet.. Great way to start a new year.. 

Really actually made me realise how much unnecessary carbs and food volume I was eating prior to cleanse.. Also has been days since cleanse has been completed and still feeling very conscious about what goes in my body even though I am allowed back to the real world.. I'll definitely grab a piece of fruit instead of crackers/chocolate when I need a fix. Made me appreciate food!!

LOVE OnJuice!

So happy I gave it a go..

Check out all the cleanses on there website.
