A'kin Lavender & Jojoba Hand Creme Review.

A'kin are a gorgeous skincare brand who pride themselves on delivering high quality products that not only look beautiful on the outside but contain amazing ingredients for skin on the inside. 

If you're anything like me, just looking at their stunning, unique packaging turns your face into the love heart eyes emoji! 

Today I'm reviewing the A'kin Lavender & Jojoba Hand, Nail & Cuticle Creme!

When I was on the hunt for a new hand cream I knew exactly what I wanted- A cream with nourishing, hydrating ingredients that absorbed well and smelt amazing. This is where this product really delivers! It absorbs beautifully, perhaps the best I've ever used and has a beautiful, subtle lavender aroma which makes it perfect for night time application (exactly what I was looking for!) 

My hands are never left feeling greasy, just soft and nourished. The gorgeous ingredients included in this beauty are:

"Certified Organic Lavender Oil – soothing fragrance.

Australian Jojoba Oil – to condition the cuticle.

Certified Organic Shea Butter – for moisture.

Squalane – natural moisturising factor.

Macadamia Nut Oil – absorbed quickly for intense rehydration.

Vitamin B5 (Panthenol) - the beauty vitamin, healing & soothing.

Vitamin E – anti-oxidant healer.

Australian Sandalwood Oil – antiseptic & anti-inflammatory properties."

Normally I always write what ingredients are in the product however A'kin have all this already on their site for you to see! (I love when companies pride themselves on their ingredients and actually show the consumer what is in the product.)

This is a beautiful hand cream which leaves my hands continually feeling soft, supple and renewed. I absolutely love it's subtle, calming lavender aroma and find this perfect for day and night application. I've used this for over a month now and still love it just as much as when I first tried it. I'm unsure as to whether I'll ever find another hand cream as much as I love this one! 

If you're in the market for a hydrating hand cream that locks in moisture and smells amazing I highly recommend this one.

Aromaganic Adcolor Shampoo and Hydrating Conditioner Review.

Aromaganic are a fantastic, revolutionary brand that specialise in hair care and hair dyes, all without nasty chemicals. Their aim is to create hair products that not only work well but contain organic ingredients that are good for you and the environment! 

I'll start with the Adcolor I Am Bondi Blond Shampoo:

Firstly, I love the name of this product, and like all Aromaganic products the packaging is simply beautiful. This shampoo is a colour refreshing shampoo that counteracts brassy tones in blonde hair (whether coloured or natural) as well as keeping hair in prime condition between colourings by enriching the hair colour. 

Most products like these contain extremely nasty ingredients, however the Adcolor range proudly doesn't use any of these and instead uses natural and organic ingredients! Perfect for those like myself looking for more healthy and natural ways to treat our hair. 

This shampoo contains ingredients such as Green Tea, Argan Oil, Jojoba Oil, Olive Oil and more to lock in moisture as well as Hydrolysed Wheat Protein to strengthen hair. 

I love using this as I would a normal shampoo as its a gradual treatment which works wonderfully. It is a very thick shampoo with a deep blue tone to it that lathers well. I find this works best when I leave it on for five minutes then rinse my hair out as I normally would. I love how it gradually reduces the brassiness and yellowness in my hair and doesn't turn it grey like many others I've tried! This is perfect for those wanting a gradual, natural toner for blonde hair.

Aromaganic Hydrating Conditioner:

This conditioner literally has it all. It contains incredible, natural ingredients that have so many benefits for the health of your hair it's just not funny. I was honestly amazed when I first read the ingredients list! I knew my hair was in for a treat.

This conditioner contains Green Tea, Honey, Argan Oil, Jojoba Oil, Rosehip Oil, Evening Primrose Oil, Coconut Oil and so much more! 

All of these ingredients are perfect for hydrating, repairing and renewing hair and most are Certified Organic. 

I absolutely can't believe I've finally found a conditioner with Honey in it-perfect for locking in moisture to my dry hair! 

This conditioner is extremely thick and luxurious and covers my long hair so well without having to use an enormous amount of product. It's floral, fresh aroma is absolutely gorgeous and unlike any other scent I've come across, all ages would love it! 

I love how this leaves my hair soft, smooth and less frizzy. 

Aromaganic have done an amazing job with both of these high quality, luxurious products and they are absolutely perfect for those looking for natural, organic ways to treat their hair. 

Purchase From: The Aromaganic range is available in most health shops or online at www.Aromaganic.com- I highly recommend checking them out! 

Sukin Micellar Cleansing Water Review.

Cleansing Micellar Waters are vastly becoming more and more popular and with many skin benefits it's easy to see why! 

Thankfully, one of my most favourite brands have come out with their own and it's already incredibly popular, introducing the new Sukin Micellar Cleansing Water! 

Micellar Water has many benefits for the skin, but is mainly used for the removal of makeup while gently soothing the skin. 

Micellar Water works when the micelle molecules in the water deploy and basically grab onto any makeup, so when you wipe the skin all of the makeup is easily removed.

The Sukin Micellar Water also contains gentle, soothing ingredients such as Aloe Vera, Cucumber Extract and Chamomile Extract to calm the skin leaving it feeling soft and supple. Because of its handy size and no need for water it makes makeup removal super easy when travelling and leaves my skin looking and feeling refreshed. 

I love it's fresh aroma and how it removes my makeup easily leaving no makeup residue behind. The first few times I used this I noticed a big difference in how much clearer and cleaner my skin looked and I was pleasantly surprised when it felt super soft and smooth! It's also gentle enough to remove stubborn eye makeup without having to worry about nasty chemicals getting in your eyes, which is super important for me! It contains no SLS and no parabens making it suitable for even those with sensitive skin.

This is a perfect product for those looking for an easy to use, gentle makeup remover and I can see why it has been so popular!

Price/Purchase From: $9.99 for 250ml- Available from your local Priceline & most other health shops/pharmacies!

MooGoo Anti-Ageing Face Cream Review.

As you may already know, MooGoo is one of my most favourite skin care brands ever. The more products of theirs I try the more I fall more in love with their brand, they are just so darn good. 

Today I'm reviewing the MooGoo Anti-Ageing Face Cream!*

As you may or may not already know, our skin after our early twenties starts needing more assistance to prevent and possibly already treat fine lines and wrinkles. What we put on our skin can make such a big difference to how our skin will appear to age, and MooGoo have truly done an amazing job creating this product. I'm a big believer in not believing what packaging tells me and to actually research ingredients, especially when it comes to anti-ageing skin care. So what's in this face cream and why is it so darn amazing!? I'll show you. 

The superstars of this cream include these two gorgeous ingredients- Stabilised Vitamin C and Resveratrol.

MooGoo have used the latest and most expensive form of Vitamin C in this cream (Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate) to fully penetrate the skin (unlike many other kinds of Vitamin C) and prevent the signs of ageing. Vitamin C is also fantastic for sun damage, pigmentation and increasing collagen production. It truly is one of those incredible ingredients that you can actually see making a difference to your skin.

Resveratrol, also known as Japanese Knotweed Extract, has many protective benefits for the skin (including sun protection) and is also wonderful for reducing cell damage. 

This highly moisturising cream also contains:

-Olive Squalene to mimic the skins natural oil and prevent dryness, lock in moisture and fight free radical damage.

-Apricot Kernel Oil to provide essential fatty acids to the skin.

-Rice Bran Oil to protect and renew and help eliminate dry, scaly skin.

-Grape Seed Oil to give an antioxidant boost and provide skin with beneficial vitamins including vitamin E, vitamin C, Beta-Carotene and vitamin D.

-Hydrolysed Milk Protein to increase the elasticity of the skin.

-Natural Vitamin E to prevent fine lines and wrinkles and repair skin.

And more!!

I have really loved using this moisturiser on a day to day basis and definitely plan to purchase it when mine is finished. It lasts such a long time and leaves my skin looking beautifully hydrated and nourished after each application. I saw a noticeable difference in my skin just a few weeks after I started using it and have found it absolutely amazing. My skin looks and feels incredibly soft, revitalised and smooth and it really helped tone my skin and lock in much needed moisture. I love that feeling of knowing your giving your skin such antioxidant-rich goodness!

This is a beautiful, enriched cream suitable for all skin types so if you're in the market for an anti-ageing cream I highly recommend this one! 

Price/Purchase From: $34.90- Available from most chemists or online at www.MooGoo.com.au

Fake Bake Fair Self Tanning Lotion Review.

I don't think I'm the only one who is so excited that Summer has arrived. However, getting ridiculously sunburnt definitely isn't the best way to achieve a gorgeous tan- which is where these clever products come in ;)

Introducing the Fake Bake Fair Self Tanning Lotion!*

I absolutely love these sorts of products and this beauty is definitely a new favourite of mine. This product in particular has been made especially for those with fair skin wanting to achieve a beautiful gradual tan. 

I highly enjoyed applying this product and found application extremely easy. As it is a lotion, using gloves or your hands would be perfectly fine to apply this, however I'm obsessed with my tanning mitt and used this each application. The lotion itself has a slight touch of colour to it that works as a colour guide to help you see where you have applied the product and it has a gorgeous chocolatey, caramel aroma which I really love. 

Perhaps the best thing of all with this is that it doesn't leave me with that sticky feeling after I've applied it, it simply feels like I've applied a body butter to my skin. This makes it great for those who are wanting to sleep with the lotion on!

I found this lotion absolutely gorgeous, streak free and extremely easy to apply. It gave my skin a lovely natural looking golden tan and after the third application I was really happy with the colour. (Those with extremely fair skin will get results sooner!) I really love how this contains a high amount of Jojoba Oil and just how smooth and creamy the lotion actually is-  think chocolatey body butter that gives you a bonus tan! 

The tan is definitely buildable and you can totally control the depth of the tan you desire. If you're happy with the colour and don't wish to apply more of the product to make the tan last longer, I simply apply a normal moisturiser over the top. As shown above, Fake Bake actually have moisturisers for such things including this one which I love- the Oil-Free Mistifier Moisturizing Body Spray!

What I love about this is that it comes in a spray meaning application is so incredibly easy. I simply spray it on and give it a quick rub in and it's done. Green Tea and Vitamin E protect and nourish the skin while Ginger Root and Aloe Vera soothe sensitive skin. I just love how easy this is.

If you have fair skin and are in the market for a gradual tanning lotion I highly recommend this one! I was very pleased with the results. 

Price/Purchase From: $39.00 for 170ml (lasts a long time!) Available from your local Priceline Pharmacy.
