Eco Tan Natural Coconut Sunscreen Review.


Even in Winter it's so important to protect our skin from the sun, and as it's our bodies largest organ it's certainly worth protecting! 
Normal sunscreen however, contains many chemicals that aren't 
good for us or our skin that get absorbed into our bloodstream, which is why using a Zinc based sunscreen is the only kind I use.

So today I'm reviewing by far the most gorgeous Zinc based sunscreen I've ever used, the Eco Tan Untinted Natural Coconut Sunscreen! 

I simply can't get across how much I adore this product- which I never thought I would say about a sunscreen! 
As a huge coconut lover this is just such a perfect product for me. It contains SPF 30 and is a broad spectrum sunscreen-and is available in either a tinted or untinted version! It's also water resistant for 3 hours and gentle enough to use on our little babies which I just love. 
All the ingredients are all natural and there are no hidden nasties. 
What I love about this sunscreen is that it not only contains Zinc but other natural moisturisers too, just some of the ingredients include Coconut Oil, Grape Seed Oil, Zinc Oxide, Silica, Shea Butter, Rosehip Oil and more! Like, come on, that's pretty fabulous. 
This also contains Vitamin E and Cucumber Extract to help cool and soothe the skin which is a great idea. 

I love using this sunscreen and don't find it greasy in the slightest. It applies beautifully and has the most incredible coconut aroma. Whenever I have it on my skin feels completely protected and I love how you can use it on your face as well as your body.
This is honestly one of those products that makes me laugh every time I use it because I love it so much. Even throughout the week I'll randomly flip open the lid and smell that stunning coconut aroma, it reminds me of the beach in Summer which is just perfect. 

If you're looking for an all natural sunscreen with added moisturising ingredients then this would br perfect, a highly recommend this and can't get enough of it!

Best Used: As a beautiful sunscreen and re-applied every 1-2 hours.

Suitable For: All skin types however I always recommend doing a patch test first if you have sensitive skin. 

Price/Purchase From: $29.95 for 150ml- Available from most leading pharmacies and health food stores.

NEW Trilogy Age-Proof CoQ10 Eye Recovery Concentrate Review.


Trilogy have incredible products available for those wanting to treat and fight the visible signs of ageing. They have, however, just created a new breakthrough ingredient called Glycablend for their new Age-Proof line- super exciting! 
This potent plant oil blend has been designed to fight glycation-one of the main causes of the skin ageing. Glycation involves the skin loosing it's suppleness, elasticity, and basically results in wrinkling of the skin. 

So what's in it?!
Glycablend is made from four carefully selected oils that help fight the signs of ageing, I've included just a few of the benefits listed below, these are:

-Pomegranate Seed Oil, which protects against free radical damage and more.
-Blueberry Seed Oil, full of antioxidants and Vitamin E, encourages collagen production and more.
-Strawberry Seed Oil, a natural anti-inflammatory and eliminates toxic waste from cells.
-Chia Seed Oil, the perfect 3:1 ratio of omega 3 to omega 6, is anti inflammatory and strengthens and nourishes the skin. 

Okay! Now onto the actual product I'm reviewing, the new Trilogy Age-Proof CoQ10 Eye Recovery Concentrate!*

This beauty is phenomenal. Not only does it have the Glycablend oil in it to treat fine lines, it also contains CoQ10 to help with skin regeneration, caffeine from green coffee to decrease puffy eyes, jojoba esters to smooth and firm the skin, and horse chestnut to reduce the appearance of dark under eye circles- and more! 

I'll tell you why I'm super impressed with this product. I wasn't even checking to see how the product was effecting my eye area as it had only been a few days of trying the product, then one morning I looked in the mirror while doing my eye makeup and I literally couldn't believe it! I had zero puffiness under my eyes AND my dark under eye circles had improved! Now, I don't normally have that much puffiness under my eyes, however after using this I had literally ZERO puffiness. It is by far the most effective eye product I have ever used. 
I love using it in the mornings as the rollerball not only massages my under eye area but makes the contours of my eyes feel so refreshed and awake. One handy tip with this is that I get much better application results when I leave the bottle sitting upside down, I just find this helps apply a more decent amount of product. 
Overall, I am super impressed with this serum and love it's cute, easy to travel with size. It is a high performance eye serum that leaves the skin feeling nourished, revitalised and refreshed.

This is a fantastic product for those wanting to treat or prevent fine lines, dark circles and puffiness around the eyes. I strongly recommend it! 

Best Used: Day and night, or on the go for a refreshing boost! 

Suitable For: All skin types, however I always recommend doing a patch test first if you have sensitive skin.

Price/Purchase From: The new Trilogy Age-Proof line will be available from your local Priceline in October 2015!

Eco Tan Winter Skin Gradual Tanning Moisturiser Review.


Let's face it, I think we can all agree that having golden, luminous skin is a delightful confidence booster. However, many gradual tanning products on the market are full of nasties that you seriously don't want to be slathering your precious body in. 
That's where this beauty comes in...

The Eco Tan Certified Organic Winter Skin Gradual Tanning Moisturiser! 

As I'm not hugely familiar with experimenting with gradual tanning products this was a definitely a new thing for me- and I'm SO glad I tried it! Oh my goodness guys, this is such a gorgeous product. 
Suited best for light to medium skin tones, this all over moisturiser doubles as a gradual tanner all while leaving the skin incredibly soft, making it just perfect for the Winter time! 

So what's in it?
This beauty is perfect for all over the face and body and delivers beautiful results. It contains Aloe Vera and Grape Seed Extract to nourish and moisturise dry skin, while Cacao Fruit Powder provides the natural looking honey glow. It also contains soothing Chamomile Flower Extract, Rose Geranium Oil and more! 
All the ingredients in this product are proudly Certified Organic and/or natural. 

As I mentioned before, I'm new to this sort of product so with each daily application I was still nervous as to how it would turn out! However I was never disappointed with the results. Not only was this hydrating my whole body leaving it feeling super soft and ultra hydrated, it was giving my skin this beyond stunning, natural looking honey glow. (I've tried to think of other words to describe the colour payoff but "honey glow" seriously are the perfect words to describe it!)
After just three applications (one application a day) my skin was looking and feeling simply amazing. If you have really pale skin I'm sure you would notice a difference after just one-two applications, however I noticed the best results after my third. 
It leaves no yucky scent and applies smoothly and wonderfully, just like you would apply a body lotion. I also noticed that even after seven applications I have barely used much of this product so I'm so excited that it's going to last me a long time as I was concerned about this prior to trying it out-phew! I even go days without re-applying and still have beautiful glowy skin.

I absolutely love how with each application I'm not only nourishing my skinbut giving it a beautiful, luminous glow. 
I'm so glad I tried this product, it's now one of my winter must haves. I now can't wait to try the Organic Invisible Tan in Summer too! 
If you're in the market for an all over nourisher that doubles as a gradual tanner I highly and seriously recommend this beauty. 

Best Used: After showering and drying your skin once a day.

Suitable For: All skin types, however I always recommend doing a patch test first if you have sensitive skin.

Price/Purchase From: $29.95 for 300ml Available from most leading pharmacies and health food stores.

Moreish Reawaken Eye Cream Review.


I'm so excited that the Moreish brand is becoming more and more popular in Australia. They deliver so many beautiful, luxurious products for great prices and let's face it-these babies look gorgeous! They also make perfect gifts and have extremely beneficial ingredients. 

So without further ado, today I'm reviewing the Moreish Reawaken Eye Cream!*

This eye cream has a beautiful subtle floral/nutty aroma which smells just beautiful. I really love how the size and shape of the end of the tube distributes a perfect amount of product onto the contours of my eyes-not a necessity I know, but very handy! 

I have loved using this each night as a nourishing eye cream and found it made my eye area incredibly soft yet firm, exactly what you'd like from an eye cream! After using it for a few days I really noticed my eye area looking more hydrated, revived and renewed. It also has a wonderfully rich formula which not only applies super well but absorbs nice and easily too. 
But perhaps the best thing about this eye cream is, of course, the fantastic ingredients! This beauty is made of many of my favourite ingredients including Jojoba Oil, Olive Squalene, Argan Oil, Rosehip Oil, Goji Berry Extract and my all time favourite- Manuka Honey. 
Each of these work to firm the eye area while giving it a perfect intensive nourishing treatment, all while fighting and preventing the visible signs of ageing! 
All of these ingredients are incredibly hydrating and fantastic for repairing the skin. 
If you're in the market for an eye cream I cannot recommend this one enough, I love knowing all the goodness from this product is repairing and renewing my skin as I sleep. 

Main Ingredients: Aloe Vera, Almond Oil, Jojoba Oil, Apricot Kernal Oil, Olive Squalene, Argan Oil, Rosehip Oil, Goji Berry Extract, Shea Butter, Manuka Honey & more! 

Best Used: As an every evening eye cream.

Suitable For: All skin types and ages, however I always recommend doing a patch test first if you have sensitive skin. 

Pros: Beautifully beneficial ingredients, no parabens, no phenoxyethanol, no artificial colours or fragrances, locks in moisture, repairs and renews eye area.

Cons: None. 

Price/Purchase From: $19.99 for 15ml (Lasts for ages!)- Available from your local Priceline Pharmacy.
