Body Shop Silky Cleansing Oil review

Best Makeup Remover EVER!

I dont know about you ladies but removing makeup can be a right pain in the A$$. It can often feel harsh on your skin and it never quite gets ride of it all. Makeup wipes are famous for breaking us out and the only other option is harsh chemical liquids that often have alcohol in them. 
Sooooo bad for your skin!!! 

the BODY SHOP Silky Cleansing Oil



Up until recently I was using Bioderma to remover my makeup. It is a fantastic cleanser, however doesn't really do the trick when it comes to eye makeup. While on my weekly pilgrimage into the city to find new goodies I stumbled across this cleanser at the Body Shop. It is the most luxurious cleanser I have ever used and feels like heaven on the skin. It is an oil cleanser that you gently massage into your skin to break down and lift your makeup. I know what your thinking, she must be crazy putting oil on her skin! I was concerned at first as well, but the lady at the Body Shop ensured me that it will not break me out as oil cleansers are actually fantastic for oily/combination skin because they balance your natural oil production. And to me horror my breakouts have cleared and my skin feels soft and moisturised after cleansing, rather than stripped and dry. I strongly believe this cleanser has helped banish my breakouts! I highly recommend this cleanser as a makeup remover. If you have dry skin try the butter version! It may just be the greatest thing in Z WORLD! Get it Get it Get it! 

Available at the Body Shop for $26.95

My GO-TO Contour Products

Contouring is one of my favourite techniques when I comes to makeup. Over the years I have found a handful of products that work for me and I would love to share them with all of you :) I have Three ways to contour. One being a cream contour which (my Fav), a true shadow contour, and a bronzed contour for everyday. I have also added a video tutorial on how I like to apply my contour.




Tom Form Shape and Illuminate - 01 Intensity One

This is hands down my all time favourite contour. Yes it may be because of the gorgeous packaging and the fact that it is Tom Ford, but i do seriously love this product! It gives such a defined contour that blends seamlessly into your complexion. See my video on how to apply it :)
Found at David Jones $$$

NYX blush -  PB011 Taupe
This contour is the perfect universal shade. For those girls with lighter complexion and have trouble finding a shade that isn't too dark, this is perfect. It is a purple-grey that gives the illusion of a natural shadow. Love this!

Nars bronzer - Laguna
This Bronzer is what I use every day to add shape to my face. It is perfect as it gives you warmth that your would expect from a bronzer however its olive tones helps to create shadow if applied under the cheekbone. Perfect allrounder!

Dermalogica Clean Start review

Bad Skin BE GONE!

Morning all. Today I have for you my very first review! I will being on the Dermalogica Clean Start foaming face wash and the toning spritz. I have been trying out these two products together for the past month or so and am thoroughly impressed with these two products.




Dermalogica CLEAN START wash off

This face wash claims to clear away dead skin cells and extra oils to clean deep and banish breakouts from your face, neck, back etc.
It has:
 - 0.5% salicylic acid that dives deep into pores to clear trapped oils and bacteria.
- Botanical extract to help assist regulate oil production.
- Orange peel oil to energise and refresh.

Because these products claim to be an anti breakout, or acne fighting, I was expecting them to be drying, strong, and harsh. I have used a number of products with salicylic acid in them before, and my skin just shrivelled up like a raisin! However this face wash feels so gentle, so fresh and cleans my skin with stripping it bare. I love you use it with my Clarisonic Mia at night.
I don't know about you, but those face washes that leave you running for the moisturiser after a shower because your skin it tighter than Joan Rivers after a face life, are a defiant no go! This skin will leave your skin feeling fresh and clean, yet still having a balance of your natural healthy oils. It is when your oils are completely stripped that skin problems can greaten. I highly recommend this face wash for all skin types.

Dermalogica CLEAN START All over clear

I have been using the Clinique 2 step toner for as long as I can remember, and was delighted to find an alternative that actually saw differences in my skin. This refreshing mist promises to never leave skin tight and to aim to help banish future breakouts.
- It is infused with sesame seed extract to help control oil and shine.
- Liquorice, Burdock and Argan extracts to help hydrate and protect from environmental exposure.
- Lemongrass to revive the skin.

One of the things that I love about this sprints it that it is so refreshing and feels wonderful in the mornings. It really wakes you up and leaves you skin clean, clear and healthy.

Overall these to products are winners in my opinion and I would recommend them for any skin type.

It is like someone flicked the Spring switch on, as the transition from a frightfully cold winter into perfect sunny Spring was immediate! So thanks to who ever it was who turned on Spring.
