March Favourites

Hi everybody! How are you all doing?

Today's post brings you a selection of my absolute favourites in March. I have been testing a few skincare items recently and I have been really enjoying the results.

Sunday Riley Good Genes Treatment - AUD 163 (from mecca.com.au for Aussies)
This baby is EXPENSIVE but I really do love it. It is a lactic acid treatment which helps to gently exfoliate the skin, resulting in a brighter, more even complexion. It has completely transformed my skin and it feels smoother and the hyperpigmentation from my acne problems is slowly going away. I use this in conjunction with the Luna treatment oil at night.

Sunday Riley Luna Sleeping Night Oil - AUD 163
This oil is a strange one. It is blue for a start, and it is touted as a retinoid treatment (but very gentle). To be honest, it leaves my skin feeling quite greasy at night but then why do I care? I'm going to sleep LOL

Tatcha Pure Camellia Cleansing Oil - USD 48 (from tatcha.com because they deliver to Australia - yay!)
I am completely in love with the Tatcha cleansers. This is the best cleansing oil I have tried. It is better than Shu Uemura as it is much more light, and comparable to the Jurlique cleansing oil. Again, I use this with the Polished Rice Enzyme Powders and my skin feels completely and utterly clean.

Tatcha Rice Enzyme Powder - USD 65
This enzyme powder is the bomb. I don't even know why this works seeing as the enzyme only stays on the skin for 15 seconds but it does. It makes my skin feel clean and smooth and soft. I have tried the Green Tea, Indigo, and the Classic. I think I prefer the Indigo one out of the ones I have tried so far.

L'occitane Ultra Soft Cream Range (shop online here)
Moving away now from my face, I recently purchased some new body butters from L'occitane and I came across this limited edition range called Delice de Rose. I think this is my favourite scent I have ever tried from L'occitane and I am so sad they are discontinuing it :(

They will replace it with the Coueur de Rose (Rose Heart) scent so I will be keen to give that a go!
Can you see how soft that cream is from the photo below? It is a dream to apply and smells delectable.

Colette Cara Saddle Bag (shop online here)
I recently purchased a new bag from Colette. This bag is a bit of a dupe for the Chloe Georgia and I love it!

Pandora Remarkable Rabbit and Pink Enamel Primrose Clips (shop online Pandora.net)

And just because it is Easter, I bought some new things from Pandora. They have a new charm called "Remarkable Rabbit" and I have always wanted a rabbit charm! I am born in the year of the rabbit and I bought this to represent myself haha. It is sandwiched between two pink enamel primrose silicone clips :)

The new pandora bracelet is superb. I love that there are no threads. I love that there are so many floral and enamel designs in the new Poetic Blooms collection and it is basically the collection of my dreams!!

Best Beauty Finds - Tested and Tried by Yours Truly!

Best Hair Products (for sun damaged, dry hair and babes with scalp conditions)

Hello babes.

I've watched my hair descend into this gross, dry mess over the summer due to the fact that I have been going to the beach most weeks (sometimes twice a week!) and not really taking care of it.

In a state of panic, I bought everything I thought I needed to resurrect it and I think I may have just done it folks!!

Oh, Hello Hair!! This is a hydrating mask that has been touted to cure dryness and also helps with dandruff that can be caused by scalp conditions including dry skin, sensitivity to hair products, as well as skin conditions such as psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis and eczema. It's a natural remedy for all of these conditions and best of all - its an Australian owned business :)

Lea Journo has some of the best hair products on the market. I strongly recommend the Revive French Plum Oil for instant hydration (two to three drops for long locks) or an overnight hydration boost (10 drops or more all over - then wrap hair in a towel). I have also tried the shampoo and conditioner. #amazeballs #seriously #listentome

Best Body Products

Frank Coffee Scrubs have me addicted. It is seriously so good and I particularly love it after a hard workout (the Peppermint flavour is so soothing on sore/tired muscles).

I have tried the original (my favourite scent), Peppermint and the Cocoa. I am not a huge fan of the cocoa but the scrub itself seems to be more gentle and may be the perfect scrub for sensitive skinned babes!

In terms of the benefits that Frank claims to offer - I have seen a definite reduction in acne spots on my face, and also a reduction on the appearance of stretch marks. It has only been a month and I am hopeful that I will see further results with continued use!

So, here's the deal: You scrub, leave on for 5-10 minutes, and follow up with a beauty oil. Frank has their own body balm which is also coffee scented/based (but if you don't want to smell like ground coffee all day you can totally follow up with your normal body lotion or a different body oil!)

My favourite (ever) body moisturiser is the L'Occitane Almond Milk Concentrate is the best in the market. Lightweight, hydrating and doesn't leave a residue.

Once you go L'Occitane Almond Milk Concentrate, you can't go back. You've been warned, babes!
