Sukin Hydrating Body Lotion Review


Sukin Hydrating Body Lotion Review.


I've said it once and I'll say it again- Sukin skincare products are incredible value for money. This body lotion is absolutely my staple skincare item, I'm never without it! Out of all of their skincare products, when people ask me which product they should try first of Sukin's I will always recommend the body lotion or facial moisturiser-and I hear absolutely great feedback every time.

Here is my review for the Sukin Hydrating Body Lotion: 

The Sukin Hydrating Body Lotion is described as follows: "An aromatic body lotion designed to hydrate the skin and lock in moisture. It restores the skins moisture balance by deeply nourishing to help soothe dry skin." (This is the short version of the description.)

I have used this body lotion since 2011 and can't imagine not having it. I use it every day for so many things, including a body lotion, moisturiser, after shaving lotion and in my damp hair after a shower to combat frizz and increase the health and growth if my hair. It is so rehydrating and extremely luxurious given the price. All the ingredients seriously lock in moisture and make your skin look incredibly healthy. 

Main Ingredients: Aloe Vera, Sesame Seed Oil, Rosehip Oil, Cocoa Seed Butter, Shea Butter, Jojoba Seed Oil, Avocado Oil so many more.

Best Used: After a shower, especially after using a body scrub. It is also great to use in damp, towel dried hair for amazing hair results (just make sure to dry your hair again with the towel after applying it to your hair so that it doesn't leave residue in your hair once dry.) it is also perfect for after shaving, and even as a very effective sunburn treatment!

Smells Like: The iconic, natural Sukin scent.

Pros: Extremely versatile and smooth. Great value for money and perfect for those with dry skin.

Cons: Absolutely none. I tried to think of one I promise!

Price/Purchase From: $19.95 for 500ml or $12.95 for 250ml- I purchase all my Sukin goodies at Priceline- (www.priceline.com.au)

If ever you're in the market for a new body lotion- keep this beauty in mind!

Sukin Wellbeing Body Oil Review


Sukin Wellbeing Body Oil Review.



I seriously can't say enough good things about this body oil, I have re-purchased it so many times. I love it for so many reasons which I'll list below! 

Here is my review for the extremely popular Wellbeing Body Oil: 

The Sukin Wellbeing Body Oil is described as follows: "This 100% natural and luxurious blend of botanical oils helps soothe the body and mind."(This is the short version of the description.)

I love this oil, It is so super-enriched and versatile! It was definitely my life saver in pregnancy. Two pregnancies and I have zero stretch marks on my stomach because I used this twice a day, every day. 
The ingredients in this oil are perfect for keeping your skin soft and hydrated. The first four ingredients for example are Sunflower seed oil (great  for skin as it is full of vitamin A which has many antioxidant properties) Jojoba oil (a known anti-ageing oil that also reduces inflammation) Marula oil (an amazing oil that is jam packed full of nutrients, minerals and essential fatty acids that hydrate and repair the skin) and Rosehip oil (which repairs damaged skin, quenches dry skin, and improves the appearance of wrinkles, stretch marks etc.) and that is just the first four ingredients!! 

(It even won the Women's Weekly Product of the Year for 2013!)

Main Ingredients: Sunflower Seed Oil, Jojoba Oil, Marula Seed Oil, Rosehip Oil, Avacado oil, Calendula Flower Extract, Soybean Oil and so many more. 

Best Used: After a shower of bath-To prevent ageing/stretch marks- after shaving- basically all over. I use this on my face as well at night for a boost and it's works beautifully. It is a very luxurious oil. 

Smells Like: The iconic natural Sukin scent with a hint of orange oil.

Pros: An antioxidant-rich, powerful, radiance-enhancer. An absolute must for preventing any skin conditions! 

Cons: Because I use it everywhere I wish it came in a bigger bottle.

Price/Purchase From: $19.95 for 120ml- I purchase all my Sukin goodies at Priceline- (www.priceline.com.au) 

If you're thinking if trying out a body oil-I seriously recommend giving this one a go!

Sukin Hydrating Mist Toner & Lip Treatment Review

Sukin Hydrating Mist Toner and Lip Treatment Review.


Sukin is by far one of my most favourite skincare brands. The ingredients are fantastic especially for such a good price. Having worked in a chemist and spent many hours looking into different brands and different ingredients, I can safely say Sukin is in my top two favourite skincare brands. I've recommended their products to around 30 different people (including family, friends and customers) and each one has absolutely loved the product they bought and said they can't wait to try more of their range. Try them out for yourself! They deliver. 

Here is my review for their highly popular Hydrating Mist Toner and Nourishing Lip Treatment: 

Hydrating Mist Toner:

The Hydrating Mist Toner is described as follows: "This alcohol-free, skin hydrating mist combines chamomile and rose water to help soothe, tone and cool tired skin."

I love this for hot days when my skin needs a pick-me-up, or simply just when it feels dry. It is also a fantastic cooler for sunburn (keep it in the fridge and spritz it on!) I love this because it is so versatile and refreshing. 
(It even won the BeautyHeaven "Best In Beauty" Award for 2014!)

Main Ingredients: Water, Rosewater, Glycerin, Chamomile.

Best Used: On hot days, when skin is feeling dry, or sunburnt-even underneath makeup for a healthy glow. (Just make sure you let it soak into your skin first-I don't think anyone can pull of the "wet face" look... ;)

Smells Like: Rosewater (and even a little bit like Turkish delight) 

Pros: A great refreshing mist, perfect for many occasions! Sukin also has no nasty chemicals. It smells heavenly and is a beautiful hydrator. 

Cons: None at this point :)

Price/Purchase From: $9.95 for 125ml- I purchase all my Sukin goodies at Priceline- (www.priceline.com.au) 


Nourishing Lip Treatment:

The Nourishing Lip Treatment is described as follows: "This deeply nourishing lip treatment is enriched with calendula flower and jojoba oils to gently soothe dry, neglected lips, combined with cocoa and shea butter to offer instant and long lasting hydration."

The thing about this lip treatment is that is really is what it says- a treatment. I don't think I could wear it on a daily basis as a normal gloss or balm. It is quite a luxurious gel formula which provides a nice, thick coating and barrier on your lips so they can fully take in the goodness of the ingredients. I find this perfect for when my lips are on the dry side and needing some TLC.

Main Ingredients: Castor Oil, Silica, Calendula Flower Extract, Soybean Oil, Sweet Almond Oil, Cocoa butter and many more! 

Best Used: As a thick treatment for dry, chapped lips. 

Smells Like: Not much scent, but a bit on the sweet side.

Pros: A great, affordable, high quality lip treatment with very beneficial ingredients.

Cons: Very sticky.

Price/Purchase From: $7.95 for 10ml tube- I buy all my Sukin goodies at Priceline- (www.priceline.com.au)

Smells/Tastes Like: The Natural Berry flavour smells and tastes like mixed berries, and the Natural Cocao Flavour smells and tastes so extremely yummy, like your everyday chocolate drink! 

Pros: Not only does this product contain 55 ingredients that are extremely beneficial for your health, both flavours are delicious! This product makes taking a healthy supplement SO easy and I definitely feel more energised when taking this. 

Cons: Depending on where you buy it from it can be a bit pricey. It also contains gluten and soy which some people cannot consume.

Moreish Hand Cream & Cleanser Review


Moreish Hand Cream & Cream Cleanser Skincare Review.


If you haven't heard of the skincare brand "Moreish" let me tell you, you're in for a pleasant surprise. Moreish are New Zealand based and have a wide variety of products to choose from. All products are made from pure super foods, with the most common base ingredients including olive oil, New Zealand avacado, argan oil, sweet almond oil, and my all time favourite: MANUKA HONEY! 
To me this is what first really attracted me to this brand, aside from the gorgeous packaging and the beautiful titles of each individual product. Moreish contains NO parabens or phenoxyethanol, no artificial colours/fragrances, no sulphates, and no petrochemicals or mineral oils.

So without further ado here is my review for the Moreish Resurgence Hand Cream & Euphoria Cream Cleanser:

Moreish Resurgence Hand Cream:

The Resurgence Hand Cream is described as follows: "Hydrating and skin softening hand cream for all skin types. This non-greasy cream is quickly absorbed to moisturise and protect the skin, leaving your hands soft and restored."

I am someone who is very picky with hand creams, as I have gone through so many in the past with disappointing results. I want a hand cream to absorb very quickly, leave my hands feeling extremely soft and hydrated, and most of all see lasting results. This is where this product really delivers! (FINALLY) It does all of the above and more. 

Main Ingredients: Manuka Honey, Shea Butter, Sunflower Seed Oil & many more.

Best Used: Overnight so your hands can soak up the goodness as you sleep and feel luxurious in the morning. 

Smells Like: Subtle Floral 

Pros: This hand cream is quick absorbing, radiance-enhancing, rehydrating, extremely enriched and ridiculously smooth, not to mention its a great price! 

Cons: None. (Not even joking!)

Price/Purchase From: $9.99 for 75ml- The Moreish brand is stocked exclusively at Priceline- (www.priceline.com.au) 


Moreish Euphoria Cream Cleanser:

The Euphoria Cream Cleanser is described as follows: "A rich, creamy cleanser that removes makeup and impurities, leaving the skin soft and balanced."

Personally, I do like this cleanser, but I definitely would not use it for taking off my makeup. I wanted to love it as a two in one makeup remover and cleanser, but unfortunately it doesn't seem to take off all of my makeup. However, as I am a Revlon Colorstay 24 hour foundation user this may be why. 
This cleanser is great if I have only worn light makeup that day, but I would not use it for removing any heavy eye makeup or long-wearing foundation. It has a great consistency and lasts for a long time which is fabulous.

Main Ingredients: Sweet Almond Oil, Manuka Honey, Coconut Oil, Argan Oil and many more.

Best Used: Morning and night for cleansing purposes, not for removing makeup.

Smells Like: Subtle Floral

Pros: The main ingredients are fantastic for skin and the natural fragrance is simply beautiful. It definitely does soften my skin and leave it feeling supple. 

Cons: Doesn't remove 100% of makeup.

Price/Purchase From: $14.99 for 200ml- The Moreish brand is stocked exclusively at Priceline- (www.priceline.com.au) 

Overall I love this brand and can't wait to try more of their goodies.
