<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I'm a beauty junkie. I love to try new things and I love finding new brands and ingredients. But lately I've been feeling less like a beauty junkie and more like a hoarder. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I'm actually pretty good at finishing products (I often share my empties on my <a href="https://www.instagram.com/bottledbeautyblog/"><span style="color: magenta;">Instastories</span></a>) but I have a bad habit of chopping and changing what I'm using so I have a lot of half used products in my bathroom. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So my goal for 2020 is to buy less and use up more. Last night I went through my bathroom and counted up how many products I have that are opened and half used. Here's what I have...</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Micellar water - 2</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Oil Cleansers/First Cleanser - 8</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Second/Morning Cleanser - 3</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Toner - 7</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Serums - 13</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Face Oils - 5</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Moisturiser - 11</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Exfoliator - 8</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Eye cream - 2</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Face Mask - 18</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Sheet Mask - 29 </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Sunscreen - 3</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Some of the total aren't that bad, like eye cream and sunscreen, but others are out of control... hello 29 sheet masks!!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So this year I'm going to use products that I already have open instead of buying something shiny and new or opening a product in my stash. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Also this year I'm going to go on a low buy. I know I should go on a no buy, but I'm realistic that it just wouldn't happen. Originally I was going allow myself 5 products a month, but after looking at my collection I will go with 3 items a month I'm allowed to buy. It could be make up, hair or skin. But it can't be anymore than 3 products. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Because I'm a rule breaker I will exclude dry shampoo and sunscreen in my monthly "allowance," as I probably go through 2-3 dry shampoos every month. And suncreen is a way of life and an essential so I want to keep that as an exclusion. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I learnt in 2019 that doing challenges (like the 30 days of masks or the sample challenge) is a great way of being able to use up products as well as finding new products that are already in my stash. I'll be doing more challenges on my Instagram this year to help me encourage to use up more of what I have. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If you've done a low buy or a no buy, feel free to give me any tips on how to survive it. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So wish me luck and if you follow me on Instagram, remind me I don't need to buy anything!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Best wishes for 2020,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Amy, xo</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b><i><u>Cleansers</u></i></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I'm turning 35 next month and a lot of cream cleansers feel too heavy for my skin. While my skin isn't oily or combination anymore, it's not quite dry. So I love the <b><span style="color: magenta;">Aus Medic Co <i>Peptide Face Cream Cleanser</i></span></b>* as it's light but creamy and it doesn't leave any residue on my skin like other cream cleansers can. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I love oil cleansers and now there's so many available at Priceline. One oil cleanser that I've been adoring is the <b><span style="color: magenta;">Cremorlab <i>T.E.N. Cremor Refreshing Cleansing Gel Oil</i></span></b>. This cleansing oil would be fantastic for anyone with oily skin or for someone who hasn't tried an oil cleanser before. I love the sleek packaging and the pump applicator.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The </span><span style="color: magenta; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>Neutrogena </b></span><i style="color: magenta; font-family: verdana, sans-serif; font-weight: bold;">Deep Clean Cleansing Oil</i><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> is a fantastic, affordable option. The packaging is simple and the pump is great. It's a bit more heavier and "oily" than the Cremorlab cleanser so it would be great for normal to dry skin. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b><i><u>Mist & Essence</u></i></b></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I started using skincare in the 90s and back then it was cleanse - tone - moisturise (such a simpler time), so I always love to try new toners. The latest one I've been using is the <b><span style="color: magenta;">Aus Medic Co <i>Anti Pollution Mist</i></span></b>.* And the more I use it, the more I love it. It feels so refreshing and I love the packaging. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I have only tried a few essences, but my favourite one is the <b><span style="color: magenta;">Cremorlab <i>Mineral Treatment Essence</i></span></b>. What I love about this essence, is that it's easy to use and my skin really glows when I use it. I sometimes use it after a mist and before a serum, while if I'm feeling really lazy I'll use it as a toner and serum and then use a moisturiser to lock the essence onto my skin.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b><i><u>Serums</u></i></b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I go through phases where I use oils but other times I like to use serums. One serum that I instantly fell in love with was the <b><span style="color: magenta;">Aus Medic Co <i>Intensive Peptide Face Lift Serum</i></span></b>.* This gel based serum is pricey, but worth every cent - I'd even pay more for it! I love that it sits well under my make up and it sets quickly. It's an amazing serum that my skin loves. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">If you're after a vitamin C serum then the <span style="color: magenta;"><b>Solal </b></span><i style="color: magenta; font-weight: bold;">Vitamin C Serum</i> is a fantastic serum to try. It's texture is light and works well under my make up. I like the packaging as it's opaque and has a pump. I've also heard great things about the new La Roche Posay Vitamin C10 Serum.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b><i><u>Moisturiser</u></i></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I prefer to use lightweight moisturisers as I normally use a serum, oil or wear make up, so having lots of light layers works best for my skin. The <span style="color: magenta;"><b>Cremorlab</b></span><i style="color: magenta; font-weight: bold;"> Fresh Water Gel</i> is really light and I think you'd love it if you have oily skin. It's a lightweight gel that sinks into the skin easily and quickly. I also love to use this to lock in moisture after using a sheet mask.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The <b><span style="color: magenta;">Solal<i> Replenishing Moisturiser</i></span></b>* is another light moisturiser that works well under make up. I love the opaque packaging and the pump applicator. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">But my all time favourite moisturiser is the <b><span style="color: magenta;">Aus Medic Co<i> Illuminating Peptide Moisturiser</i></span></b>.* It has a soft uplifting scent that always gets me in a good mood. It's light and makes my skin glow. If you only buy one product at the sale, it NEEDS to be this!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b><i><u>Masks</u></i></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">There are so many amazing masks to pick from but lately I've been loving the <b><span style="color: magenta;">L'Oreal <i>Revitalift Filler Hyaluronic Mask</i></span></b>. You can use this as a wash off mask, but I adore it as a sleep/overnight mask. I wake up with super plump skin that feels so incredibly soft. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Two masks that bloggers rave about are the <b><span style="color: magenta;">Trilogy<i> Age-Proof Overnight Mask</i></span></b>* and the </span><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><b><span style="color: magenta;">Andalou<i> CannaCell Glow Mask</i></span></b>.* These masks leave you with glowing skin and they live up to the hype. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">Another amazing mask that leaves you with glowing skin is the </span><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><b><span style="color: magenta;">Andalou<i> Pumpkin Honey Glycolic Mask</i></span></b>.* It does tingle for a minute or two, but it doesn't irritate my skin. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">If you're looking for hydrating and anti aging masks then the <b><span style="color: magenta;">Kotia<i> Nourishing Cream Mask</i></span></b>* and the </span><b style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: magenta;">Aus Medic Co<i> Phyto-Nutrient Face Mask</i></span></b><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">* are wonderful. They're soft on the skin and leave your skin feeling hydrated. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">If you have break outs or oily skin, then the <b><span style="color: magenta;">Alya Skin<i> Australian Pink Clay Mask</i></span></b>* is amazing. Even though it's a clay mask, it's not stripping on the skin. And who doesn't love a pink face mask!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Sheet masks are amazing, especially when you have dry skin. My all time favourite sheet mask is the </span><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><b><span style="color: magenta;">Cremorlab<i> Marine Hyaluronic Revital Mask</i></span></b>. This pack of sheet masks hydrates my skin and makes it feel so soft. I look like I've had a professional facial when I use this. The </span><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: magenta;"><b>Dr LeWinn's </b></span><i style="color: magenta; font-weight: bold;">Vitamin & Mineral Nourishing Face Mask</i> is a great sheet mask too, for hydrating the skin.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The <b style="color: magenta;">Skin Physics</b><i style="color: magenta; font-weight: bold;"> Total 360 Eye Revive Mask</i> is a much repurchased eye mask that I love to use when the skin around my eyes are looking tired. I always have one in my skincare fridge to use when i need a skin pick me up.</span><br />
<br />
<b><i><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><u>Sunscreen</u></span></i></b><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">And finally, the best and most affordable anti-aging skincare product you should use daily is sunscreen. For the longest time I didn't use sunscreen enough because too many sunscreens felt heavy and greasy, but the <span style="color: magenta; font-weight: bold;">Neutrogena</span><span style="color: magenta; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"> Hydro Boost Water Gel Lotion SPF50</span>* is a game changer, especially for oily skin. It doesn't feel like a sunscreen at all. It feels more like a moisturiser. I wish this had been around when I was a teen!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Finally, I always will recommend picking up any of the Lanolips lip balms. They're amazing and I have about 6 opened in various rooms and handbags! It's a lifesaver when you have dry or cracked lips. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">And there are my recommendations. I could list a thousand more products, but these are the ones I've been using and loving lately. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Will you be picking up anything at the sale?</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><i>Amy, XO</i></span>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Hi, it's me again! It's been a while since I've blogged and originally I was going to have a current favourites as a first post, but I have so many thoughts about the Ultra Violette Queen Screen SPF50+ Lightweight Sun Serum that it really needs it's own blog post. It also needs a shorter name!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I know I've seen it blowing up my Instagram feed and I'm sure you've seen the bright blue bottle on your feed too! Bloggers are raving about it but does it really live up to the hype? Yes...... and no! Let me explain.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-7C8dsERzSUU/XITCFM598HI/AAAAAAAAqU0/kQ7DbXICAb4uxzSf-x2OGelt9Hm59xpnwCLcBGAs/s1600/ultra%2Bviolette%2Bqueen%2Bscreen%2Bsunscreen%2Breview%2B4.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="800" height="640" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-7C8dsERzSUU/XITCFM598HI/AAAAAAAAqU0/kQ7DbXICAb4uxzSf-x2OGelt9Hm59xpnwCLcBGAs/s640/ultra%2Bviolette%2Bqueen%2Bscreen%2Bsunscreen%2Breview%2B4.png" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The product is amazing. Firstly the packaging is great. I love bright blue bottle. It has an old school glam feel to it with the dropper. The dropper is great for getting the right amount of product. They say to use 2-3 droppers worth of product to apply to your face, chest, neck and ears. I prefer to use 2 drops and focus more on my face and use a cheaper body sunscreen on my chest, shoulders and neck. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I ordered it on Wednesday the 20th of Feb and it arrived on the 26th which was the following Tuesday. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-7AdW-l1IAGs/XITCL3p_1AI/AAAAAAAAqU4/HNjkxTZBO0M4ErEdyjZt15JEAhTwr4EfACLcBGAs/s1600/ultra%2Bviolette%2Bqueen%2Bscreen%2Bsunscreen%2Breview%2B3.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="800" height="640" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-7AdW-l1IAGs/XITCL3p_1AI/AAAAAAAAqU4/HNjkxTZBO0M4ErEdyjZt15JEAhTwr4EfACLcBGAs/s640/ultra%2Bviolette%2Bqueen%2Bscreen%2Bsunscreen%2Breview%2B3.png" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If you've tried the La Roche Posay </span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #2d3641; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Anthelios XL Ultra-Light Fluid Facial Sunscreen then you know the consistency has a watery but milky feel to it. So does the UV Queen Screen. It's really easy to apply and sinks in to the skin quite easily. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #2d3641; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #2d3641; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I normally like to leave my sunscreen for 5-10 minutes to sink into the skin before applying my primer and foundation. Their website says that it doesn't pile, but I have had it pile on 2 occasions. I just washed it off my skin, reapplied the sunscreen and then applied my make up and it was fine. The first time it happened I applied a moisturiser with sunscreen (SPF30) before and then when I tried to rub the Queen Screen it started to ball up. The second time I had applied this and went to apply a primer that had sunscreen and when I rubbed the primer in it balled up. So I try and make sure if I use this then I try and make sure my moisturiser and primer doesn't contain SPF as the other times I used this sunscreen I had no issues.</span></span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3DyN3ImD8sQ/XITCMg-98iI/AAAAAAAAqU8/vOvqFD2rwIw8w7sAy4Fjwsnaxdn8kWycgCLcBGAs/s1600/ultra%2Bviolette%2Bqueen%2Bscreen%2Bsunscreen%2Breview%2BHydrating%2BPeach%2BLip%2BBalm.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3DyN3ImD8sQ/XITCMg-98iI/AAAAAAAAqU8/vOvqFD2rwIw8w7sAy4Fjwsnaxdn8kWycgCLcBGAs/s640/ultra%2Bviolette%2Bqueen%2Bscreen%2Bsunscreen%2Breview%2BHydrating%2BPeach%2BLip%2BBalm.png" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I also purchased their Peach lip balm. I like that this is not only slightly tinted but that it also contains SPF. I wouldn't bother using this when I'm inside. It will just be in my handbag or pram for when I'm outside.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I think Ultra Violette is a fantastic brand. I love that they're a brand that's dedicated to make sure women and men use sunscreen daily. They also have a mattifying and a hydrating sunscreen, so you can easily find a sunscreen that works for you and your skin.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So if I love the product, the packaging and the brand then what didn't I like?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For me it comes down to price and convenience. The sunscreen costs $47 but their free shipping doesn't start until you've spent $50 or more. You can get shipping for $7.50 or express is $10. So if you just want to buy this, then it's a minimum of $54.50.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As I said before it took a week to get to me, so I would need to order it before I run out or hope that I have a sunscreen I can use while it's being sent.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So for me I would prefer to order the Mecca Cosmetica To Save Face SPF50 Sunscreen because it's cheaper ($40) and it has 25mls more. Mecca also do free express shipping, which normally is delivered the next day for me. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So while I love the product, the price and the convenience is the only draw back for me. I would love to be able to purchase this from a physical store like Mecca or Priceline. It would also mean I could test the scent and consistency first before buying it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Have you ever not bought something online because you prefer to go instore and pick it up straight away?</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Usually when you think of a hair straightener, you think of a device that either straightens or curls. It's true that you can create amazing hair styles by curling or straightening the hair but lately I've been using the <b><a href="https://www.ghdhair.com/au/limited-edition-ghds/ghd-platinum-nocturne-premium-gift-set" rel="nofollow"><span style="color: magenta;">ghd Platinum Nocturne Styler</span></a></b>* to create more than just straight or curly hair.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I've been using the ghd straightener more to prep my hair so my hair style will look more polished or to also give my hair more volume without having to use lots of stiff styling products. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">A bit about my hair ...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I have dyed blonde hair and I get foils twice a year. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">My hair is fine in texture, although I have a lot of it. I try and limit the use of styling products so my hair stays cleaner for longer, which means I can get away with washing my hair twice a week. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Being a mum of 2 girls, I don't have a lot of time in the morning to do my hair so I depend on quick and easy styles. One of the easiest prep steps that I do is to keep my hair in a bun while I sleep. It keeps my hair from getting tangled while I sleep and I wake up with soft waves.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">To make the waves even better I run the ghd straightener once through my hair and then put it up in a bun so the curls last longer. Then in the morning when I'm about to leave for the school drop off, I'll take my hair and either use my fingers or a wide tooth comb to gentle smooth my hair and lightly break up the curls. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-AnL-HV8R6OI/Wp-xQTM6vQI/AAAAAAAAl2o/8VlUBFDPRF8v2Y-uU8vZG_cR8-S271tSwCLcBGAs/s1600/ghd%2BPlatinum%2BNocturne%2BStyler%2BReview%2B3-02.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="782" data-original-width="900" height="553" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-AnL-HV8R6OI/Wp-xQTM6vQI/AAAAAAAAl2o/8VlUBFDPRF8v2Y-uU8vZG_cR8-S271tSwCLcBGAs/s640/ghd%2BPlatinum%2BNocturne%2BStyler%2BReview%2B3-02.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">What I love about the ghd is that it heats up in 20 seconds. Having 2 young kids running in and out of the bathroom while a straightener is heating up is nerve racking, so I love that it heats up so quickly. It also automatically shuts off after 30 minutes of non use which is a lifesaver when you're rushing in the morning. No longer do you have to worry about if your straightener was left on or not! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The heat resistant bag is also amazing as I can use it while I'm using the straightener but also to put it in the bag while it's cooling down and keep it safe from little, curious hands.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The ghd website has an amazing <a href="https://www.ghdhair.com/au/hairstyles?PID=PRO-025&CRE=Hairstyles&PLA=1&TYPE=Top_level_menu_Hairstyles" rel="nofollow" style="color: magenta; font-style: italic;">hairstyle section</a> where you can get inspiration on different ways to use their straighteners and wands. They have it in categories so you can find styles for your hair length or for a particular event like a wedding or festival.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I'm currently growing out my fringe so most days I will just pin my fringe out of the way and keep the rest of my hair down. </span><br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I really like the <a href="https://www.ghdhair.com/au/hairstyles/braid/how-to-hairstyles-embellished-rope-braid" rel="nofollow" style="color: magenta;">Rope Braid</a> but having different lengths in my fringe made it slightly difficult to recreate. So instead I pinned back most of my fringe and the front section until the layers became difficult to keep in a plait. I find it easier to do a deep parting on one side as it helps hide the layers more than when I do a mid or off center parting. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">What I like about this style is that the waves don't have to be perfect. I can miss bits of hair and it doesn't matter. The gentle waves help add body and give more volume without having to use any spray at all. </span><br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I was also inspired by their <a href="https://www.ghdhair.com/au/hairstyles/braid/how-to-hairstyles-double-braid" rel="nofollow" style="color: magenta;">Double Braid</a> but made it a bit more time friendly (as well as fringe friendly) and only did a plait with the top half of my hair. To keep it from falling out as I often walk the girls to school, I instead used to clear hair tie to make sure that any pins wouldn't fall out especially on windy days. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I also joined the plaits together and continued the plait to give it more of a bond and to stop it from coming apart. A quick use of the ghd can help rid flyaways. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I can't recommend the ghd line enough. It was the very first big beauty purchase I made 11 years ago and their straighteners have just gotten better and better. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I also have their hair dryer which is about 4 years old now and it's amazing. I use it a couple of times a week and I also use it on the girls hair. It works quickly and it's amazing how much less damage a quality hair device does to your hair!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Do you use hair tools often? If so, do you prefer a straightener or a wand?</span><br />

<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-tuD3w7DMcvU/Wm18k7vH4OI/AAAAAAAAlP0/tMhQB3ggqw8w3S4SQQXSf0P1gnUfauq4QCLcBGAs/s1600/Sante%2BBy%2BEnjo%2BMake%2BUp%2BRemovers%2Band%2BExfoliating%2BPads%2B3.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="882" data-original-width="900" height="626" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-tuD3w7DMcvU/Wm18k7vH4OI/AAAAAAAAlP0/tMhQB3ggqw8w3S4SQQXSf0P1gnUfauq4QCLcBGAs/s640/Sante%2BBy%2BEnjo%2BMake%2BUp%2BRemovers%2Band%2BExfoliating%2BPads%2B3.png" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Over the last year, microfibre cleansing cloths and pads have become a huge beauty trend. The <i>Make Up Eraser</i> was one of the first brands to really target beauty lovers and put the focus on removing make up not just using it to cleanse the skin.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Last year Face Halo released their own version. Instead of a towel, they created a small pad that not only is travel friendly but also a lot prettier. I had heard a lot of good hype about these but I ended up purchasing the Sante By Enjo after seeing <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/Bc1rLNjBgvg/?taken-by=triedandtestedblog"><span style="color: magenta;">Tried And Tested</span></a> rave about them on Instagram.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I ended up buying the <a href="https://sante.enjo.com.au/flawless-skin-lilac.html" style="color: magenta;">Flawless Skin Lilac set</a> which comes with 7 make up removers, 2 exfoliating pads, a set of 3 make up bags and 2 mini laundry bags. This set costs $99 but they do have some smaller and larger sets depending on your budget. The also have a few different colours available.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The laundry bags are great as I can use them to put the dirty make up and exfoliating pads in the bag and wash them in the washing machine without damaging them. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-8FGNjdh3B9s/Wm18t1UP1XI/AAAAAAAAlP4/abTQv04xHL0iS-7Wf2WbJ4qBVHjJtMohQCLcBGAs/s1600/Sante%2BBy%2BEnjo%2BMake%2BUp%2BRemovers%2Band%2BExfoliating%2BPads.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="813" data-original-width="900" height="578" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-8FGNjdh3B9s/Wm18t1UP1XI/AAAAAAAAlP4/abTQv04xHL0iS-7Wf2WbJ4qBVHjJtMohQCLcBGAs/s640/Sante%2BBy%2BEnjo%2BMake%2BUp%2BRemovers%2Band%2BExfoliating%2BPads.png" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I like that the set has 7 of the make up pads so I have one for every day of the week. I normally will wash the dirty ones once there is 5 there so I always have clean ones available. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">All you need to do to remove your make up is to wet the pad and then wipe it (along with your make up) off your face. Because it's double sided, I normally use one side for the left side of my face and then the other side for the right side of my face. If you don't wear a lot of make up then you will only need one side to clean your face.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It gets almost all of my make up off but you may need something extra if you're wearing waterproof liner or mascara. Even though they do remove make up, I still normally will use a normal cleanser afterwards. I think this comes down to habit more than necessity as the last few years I've always done a double cleanse. Just now instead of using a cleansing balm or oil, I use the Sante make up removing pad. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I also like to use these to help remove a face mask. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-fI-d7qE5k9Y/Wm184BkIyhI/AAAAAAAAlP8/HUjXbi5NVbsnUtXGAlGCiQTqONYdI6eKgCLcBGAs/s1600/Sante%2BBy%2BEnjo%2BMake%2BUp%2BRemovers%2Band%2BExfoliating%2BPads%2B2.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="876" data-original-width="900" height="622" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-fI-d7qE5k9Y/Wm184BkIyhI/AAAAAAAAlP8/HUjXbi5NVbsnUtXGAlGCiQTqONYdI6eKgCLcBGAs/s640/Sante%2BBy%2BEnjo%2BMake%2BUp%2BRemovers%2Band%2BExfoliating%2BPads%2B2.png" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I was really impressed with the exoliating pads. They help to remove dead skin without being abrasive or uncomfortable. I love to use these to help remove an exfoliator, especially one that's gentle and doesn't give me enough exfoliation alone. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I absolutely love these and really want to buy another set as they're just fantastic!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I also ordered the Colour Change Brush Cleanser after seeing a video of it on Instagram. I own one of the brush cleansing sprays that you spray onto your brush to remove pigment quickly but I find a lot of the time that they don't dry quick enough and they can still feel damp, especially if you use natural brushes. The great thing about the Sante brush cleanser is there's no liquid so I don't need to wait until the brush dries to use it again. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-8s97jTDCbAU/Wm18_yFoHOI/AAAAAAAAlQA/5nnfmDLzblUCQiIdIhKfjKWbn1qKCkZ5ACLcBGAs/s1600/Sante%2BBy%2BEnjo%2BColour%2BBrush%2BChanging%2BPad.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="797" data-original-width="900" height="566" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-8s97jTDCbAU/Wm18_yFoHOI/AAAAAAAAlQA/5nnfmDLzblUCQiIdIhKfjKWbn1qKCkZ5ACLcBGAs/s640/Sante%2BBy%2BEnjo%2BColour%2BBrush%2BChanging%2BPad.png" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The cleansing pad that removes eyeshadow pigment looks like a microfiber pad but it feels prickly. This helps to break up the shadow and catch it in the pad. I love the brush cleanser as it's quick and easy to use. It helps to take out shadow pigment so you can go in and use another shade in less than 10 seconds. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Even though your brush still looks like there's some eyeshadow on it, none will mix with your next shadow so you'</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">ll get a clean colour. I also love to use this to remove pigment from my crease brush so I can go back and blend more. I keep this in my bathroom so I don't have to go finding a new clean eye brush.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Sante also sell body gloves and towels to cleanse and exfoliate as well as a coconut cleanser to remover waterproof make up. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Have you used a microfibre cloth to remove your make up? Did it live up to the hype?</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Hi again! It's me, the blogger that rarely blogs! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Last year I've really focused on my <a href="https://www.instagram.com/bottledbeautyblog/"><span style="color: magenta;">Instagram page</span></a> since I can share my love of beauty products a lot more easily there than I can on the blog. While a lot of time and effort goes into a photo for Instagram, a blog post takes hours to produce. Hats off to the bloggers who are able to work, have a social life and still blog!! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">But while Instagram gives you (almost) instant gratification, I really miss blogging. So my goal for this year is to get two posts up a week and get back into my blogging groove. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So I thought what better post to come back with than my beauty, blogging and personal resolutions for 2018.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Other than posting weekly, I'd love to also focus more on my photography. I want learn more about it and push myself to try new things. I'm wanting to do a one day </span><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">photography</span><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"> course. The Adelaide Zoo has them once a month and while a lipstick is obviously much more different than a zebra, the tools and techniques I'll pick up can help me for my blog photography.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The last time I posted my new years beauty resolutions was <a href="http://www.bottledbeauty.com/2016/01/beauty-and-blogging-new-years.html"><span style="color: magenta;"><i>back in 2016</i></span></a>. Honestly, a few of them are things I continue to work on. Buying less and using more was a big thing for me in 2017 and I'll continue this in 2018.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I also want to use up products more often. I have a bad habit of using half a product and then open a new product because I love trying new things. I'm especially bad at this with skincare. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In 2017 I tried to buy less and also give away products I wasn't super excited about. I also now have no beauty box subscriptions so I'm not being sent products that I wouldn't buy. In 2018 I'll continue to get rid of my back ups and have a smaller stash of unused products. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">While I love trying new skincare, I find it hard to get my best skin when I'm constantly changing up my routine and products. This year I want to use more of the same products consistently and instead only use one or two new products. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">While I'm diligent about washing my face and using sunscreen, I often forget to use an eye cream. Because I'm not getting any younger, I really want to focus this year on using one daily. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I'd also love to paint my nails more often as I rarely do it and it's such a nice way to relax and pamper yourself. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">For my personal goals, I want to focus more on health in 2018. Being a mum I find that I spend so much time looking after my family, that I often forget about myself. I want to spend 20 minutes <b><i>each and every day </i></b>doing something just for me. It might be blogging, painting my nails, reading a book, working out.... it really doesn't matter what I do but to make sure that I take those 20 minutes out to look after my physical and mental self!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So those are my goals for 2018! Fingers crossed I can smash them! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Do you have any goals for 2018?</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2_QkHw3Bcy0/WS6TJZmD_CI/AAAAAAAAjP0/Jgl9TNBS5ZcGRKF6mhg5emUjXoGg05REQCLcB/s1600/Braun%2BSilk-epil%2B9%2BSkinSpa.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Braun Silk-epil 9 SkinSpa" border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="900" height="640" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2_QkHw3Bcy0/WS6TJZmD_CI/AAAAAAAAjP0/Jgl9TNBS5ZcGRKF6mhg5emUjXoGg05REQCLcB/s640/Braun%2BSilk-epil%2B9%2BSkinSpa.jpg" title="Braun Silk-epil 9 SkinSpa" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I remember using an epilator in my late teens and it was torture! Not only did it sound like a jack hammer, it felt like torture too! I only used it a few times but threw it away shortly after. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Luckily over the last 10-15 years they've tweaked the technology and epilators are much easier and more comfortable to use. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I was recently sent the Braun Silk-epil 9 SkinSpa* and have been loving using it. It's not your usual epilator as it does more than just hair removal. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-itmlAncB5rA/WS6Wr7I47RI/AAAAAAAAjQA/ht1w-sMc42oG0oELMGFV_4WzAaGI1C4_QCLcB/s1600/Braun%2BSilk-epil%2B9%2BSkinSpa%2B3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Braun Silk-epil 9 SkinSpa" border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="900" height="640" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-itmlAncB5rA/WS6Wr7I47RI/AAAAAAAAjQA/ht1w-sMc42oG0oELMGFV_4WzAaGI1C4_QCLcB/s640/Braun%2BSilk-epil%2B9%2BSkinSpa%2B3.jpg" title="Braun Silk-epil 9 SkinSpa" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The epilator has quite a large head so you're able to pick up more hairs. Because it's larger, I've found that it works really quickly even if you're working on a large section of your body like your legs or thighs. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The tweezers on the head of the epilator can catch hairs that are as small as 0.5mm so you don't have to wait too long in between hair removal sessions. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The epilator does make noise. While it's not too loud, the first time you use it can feel a bit scary due to the noise and the fact that you know it will be pulling out hairs! But it honestly sounds worse than it feels. It feels like being flicked. It's not painful just slightly uncomfortable.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The epilator is a wet dry model which makes it easier to clean. You can also use it in the shower. If you either use it in the shower or have a shower before using the epilator, it helps to dull some of the pain</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">There are 2 speed settings. I'd suggest trying the first speed as it's a little bit slower and gentler while the second speed is faster and is great for making sure there are no hairs left behind. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As well as being an epilator, it's also a shaver. It's great having the option to shave as sometimes you might prefer to shave your arms but epilate your legs and this way you can only take it away with you and have both options. It has a trimmer attachment which is great to use if it's been a while between sessions and you want to trim rather than shave.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-1ykTvyEBawA/WS6XC0BHafI/AAAAAAAAjQI/oIXc2Afk39MFtZPGeWWjyfoJOZ0xI15UgCLcB/s1600/Braun%2BSilk-epil%2B9%2BSkinSpa%2B4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="900" height="640" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-1ykTvyEBawA/WS6XC0BHafI/AAAAAAAAjQI/oIXc2Afk39MFtZPGeWWjyfoJOZ0xI15UgCLcB/s640/Braun%2BSilk-epil%2B9%2BSkinSpa%2B4.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It also contains 3 body attachments. There are 2 exfoliation brushes. The purple brush head is for a gentle exfoliation while the blue brush head gives a deeper exfoliation. The blue brush head is amazing to use before and after applying fake tan for exfoliating on those hard patches of skin like your knees and elbows. It also is great to use to help stop any ingrown hairs. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The other attachment is the deep massaging pad. This is amazing to use any place that you get cellulite. I also find it really relaxing to use on my feet if I've been walking or standing all day. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Because it's cordless, it makes it easy to use and take anywhere you want to remove hair. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-93-eGzDmlIU/WS6XKBfthSI/AAAAAAAAjQM/3qs04kx70tEk0VJS0TKrFwMqU-qE5BZWgCLcB/s1600/Braun%2BSilk-epil%2B9%2BSkinSpa%2B5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Braun Silk-epil 9 SkinSpa" border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="900" height="640" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-93-eGzDmlIU/WS6XKBfthSI/AAAAAAAAjQM/3qs04kx70tEk0VJS0TKrFwMqU-qE5BZWgCLcB/s640/Braun%2BSilk-epil%2B9%2BSkinSpa%2B5.jpg" title="Braun Silk-epil 9 SkinSpa" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As well as being amazing at hair removal, this also comes with a facial cleansing brush. It's a really easy to use the sonic facial brush as there are 2 buttons on the device. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This also has 3 different brush heads. There's the white brush head for a normal cleanse. The pink brush head is great if you have sensitive skin and then there's the blue brush head that helps to exfoliate your skin. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">While it retails for $299, it does have a lot of attachments and features which make it worth the money! I really loved trialing this and will continue to use use it, especially the epilator. I really enjoyed using it and have loved having long lasting results! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Have you used an epilator before?</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It's Mother's Day here in Australia on Sunday and I wanted to post some wonderful gift ideas for either yourself if you're a mum or to buy for your mum! </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I think Mother's Day is a really great opportunity to buy something for your mum that she wouldn't buy herself. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">While it might sound sappy, it's not really about the gift that you buy but about the thought and effort you've put in to finding her the perfect present.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here are my suggestions on things that I would love to receive and think that your mum would love too!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><i>Book or magazine subscription</i></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It doesn't matter if your mum reads everyday or just when she's on holidays, a book is always a great gift. It could be a crime novel like <i>Big Little Lies</i>, a <i>Chanel</i> coffee table book or even a cookbook if she loves to cook. There's so many wonderful books out there that your mum would love. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A magazine subscription is also a wonderful gift that keeps giving all year long!</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><i>Hair straightening brush</i></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><i><br /></i></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Sometimes it's difficult to find a gift for mum because she most likely already has everything she needs. But hair straightening brushes are relatively new on the market and this would be a great time saving gift for any mamma that loves sleek and shiny hair. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The <b>LVL </b><i style="font-weight: bold;">Hair Straightening Brush</i> will leave your hair straighter, shinier and sleeker in only minutes. Unlike a typical hair straightener, this doesn't leave your hair looking flat and lifeless. If you have fine hair, this helps to make it look sleek while still giving your hair volume and body. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><i>Make Up Palette</i></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><i><br /></i></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A palette is a great gift because they can use it to create a lot of looks. An eyeshadow palette is a great pressie because it's so versatile. Most eyeshadow palettes have a mixture of shimmers and mattes so your mum can use it to create a simple day look or to create a fun or vampy look for those rare times she gets to dress up and party! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This <b>Garbo & Kelly</b><i style="font-weight: bold;"> Overnight Sensation Eyeshadow Palette </i>not only looks incredible (check out the cute stars on the mirror!) but also has amazing shades. There's 14 shades and while most of the shades are very neutral and wearable, there's also some great pops of colours for when she wants to do something different. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rt02DLA_-7Y/WRQvNb6nt9I/AAAAAAAAjJA/Tmjdv-cyWeILNdal9r_8mhNZVd6GZKLeACLcB/s1600/Mother%2527s%2BDay%2BGift%2BSuggestions%2BKaren%2BMurrell%2BLip%2BPalette%2B4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Karen Murrell Lip Palette" border="0" height="462" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rt02DLA_-7Y/WRQvNb6nt9I/AAAAAAAAjJA/Tmjdv-cyWeILNdal9r_8mhNZVd6GZKLeACLcB/s640/Mother%2527s%2BDay%2BGift%2BSuggestions%2BKaren%2BMurrell%2BLip%2BPalette%2B4.jpg" title=" Karen Murrell Lip Palette" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If she already owns a lot of eyeshadow palettes then a lip palette is a great alternative. The <b>Karen Murrell <i>Lip Palette</i></b>* is AMAZING!!!! I'm going to go out on a limb and say this will be in my top 5 products of 2017! I adore EVERYTHING about it. Firstly the outer packaging is so beautiful. There's been so much time and effort put into not only making the actual product beautiful, but also the cardboard packaging. The 5 shades are a nice mix of brights and softer shades. I could throw out all of my lipsticks and just use this for the rest of my life! </span><br />

<br />
<b><i><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Jurlique Facial</span></i></b><br />
<b><i><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></i></b>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It's unusual for mums to take time out to go for a facial or a massage so it's an amazing gift to give your mum. Jurlique do incredible facials and massages. They mix skincare knowledge and education with luxurious pampering. While it always feels so relaxing having a facial and massage, I always leave with a new skincare tip! It's been a little while since I last went so I need to go soon as I've found my skin has changed lately. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If you don't have a Jurlique day spa near you, then picking up their skincare is the next best thing. I love the <b>Jurlique<i> Purity Specialist Compress Concentrate</i></b>* and the matching <i><b>Purity Specialist Treatment Mask</b></i>. It's a 2 step system that helps to open up your pores, deeply cleanse your skin and also exfoliate it.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><i>A candle or fragrance</i></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><i><br /></i></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Candles and fragrances are one of those products that you will rarely buy for yourself unless you're a candle or fragrance addict. They're normally seen as being a little bit extravagant and sometimes not a necessity, although in my house I put on a candle nearly every day!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Getting a candle or fragrance for someone is always a great reminder as every time they'll use it they'll think of you (hello brownie points for when you want to ask mum for a favour!).</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Anastasia Modern Renaissance palette is one of those products that took the beauty community by surprise. Here was a palette than wasn't a nude palette that suddenly everyone needed. More and more brands are coming out with palettes that are inspired by the oranges and pinks from the MR palette and the latest one is the BYS Berries Palette.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I had heard about this on Instagram and originally while I thought it was pretty I decided I didn't need it. Then when I went to see it in person and it wasn't in store I NEEDED it!! I finally got my hands on it, so here's my review!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><i><br /></i></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><i>What I like about it...</i></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><i><br /></i></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Firstly the price is great! Kmart and Target sell this for $16 but the BYS website sells it for $19.95. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The shade range is really good. Like the MR palette, this palette has a lot of wearable shades mixed in with some bright, vibrant and more unusual shades. It has a mix of shimmers and mattes so you can create a whole eye look without having to reach for another palette or single shadow to finish off a look. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Like most affordable or drugstore palettes, the mattes aren't as beautiful as the shimmers but it's not a deal breaker. I would suggest (like when you use any affordable eyeshadow palette) to either use an eyeshadow primer or a cream base to help give pigment and lasting power to the shades. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Surprisingly I prefer the golden highlight shade <i>"Glow"</i> in the BYS palette than the <i>"Primavera"</i> shade in the Anastasia palette. Some of my other favourite shades are <i>"Juliet"</i> which is a beautiful pinky purple and<i> "Antique"</i> which is a lovely shimmery chocolate shade. I have a bit of a love hate relationship with <i>"Berry Haze." </i>It's that beautiful taupe shade with a hint of purple. The colour is beautiful but it's quite sheer and I have to really work at building it up. It's quite similar to the MR shade <i>"Buon Fresco" </i>but it's not as pigmented. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I love that the palette contains a mirror. A lot of inexpensive brands skip a mirror to keep the price down but it's a pain!! So I'm so glad to have the mirror so I can take the palette with me and check in different room how it looks under the different lights.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><i>What I don't like about it...</i></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><i><br /></i></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">There's a bit of fall out with the shades, so I'd suggest applying the eyeshadows first, then do your foundation or you'll have to remove the fall out and set under your eyes again.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And one of my pet peeves in drugstore eyeshadow palettes is the tacky, rough and outdated eyeshadow applicators that they include. This one has an 80s sponge tip eyeshadow applicator and a dual sided brush that looks like a lip brush! While the brush is soft, the shape of it is so useless. It won't blend out shades. I wish that they just ditched these. It's 2017 and most people will have at least one proper brush that they can use to apply and blend shadow. I find the Anastasia MR brush useless too, so it's not just drugstore palette brushes that fill me with range ;)</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Also the packaging is bulky and awkward. It has an annoying closing mechanism. You have to put the "pegs" (see the above photo) into the holes in the bottom part of the tin to close the palette. While it keeps your palette safe from opening up in your bag, it sometimes takes a couple of tried to close the tin. I wish they had a magnetic closure instead.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><i>So do you need this?</i></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><i><br /></i></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Honestly, if you already own the MR palette then no. But if you don't then it's a great alternative (and a lot cheaper). </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It would be a great palette for someone who already owns the RM palette to take on holiday. The RM palette is expensive and if you're worried about it breaking while you're travelling then this is a great alternative as it has similar colours but won't break your heart if it gets damaged.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This palette is fantastic for anyone who's new to make up or is afraid of colour. If you only wear nude and neutral shades, then this palette would be amazing to help you step out of your comfort zone without looking like a clown. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It's a great palette for under $20 but of course it's not up to the same quality as the original!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I hope that this review helped if you were on the fence with either palette!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It's been a year and a half since I last did a <a href="http://www.bottledbeauty.com/2015/08/whats-in-my-5-minute-make-up-bag.html"><span style="color: magenta;"><i>What's in my 5 Minute Make Up Bag</i></span></a> post and I've really changed up my routine since I posted that. My oldest daughter started school last year and getting myself and 2 children ready before the bell goes has made a huge impact on my make up routine and how quickly I can get ready.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I've teamed up with <a href="https://www.adorebeauty.com.au/"><span style="color: magenta;">Adore Beauty</span></a> for the post and I picked out some incredible products from their online store which helps me get ready in a pinch.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I really love all-in-one palettes that contain eye, cheek and lip products. I first fell in love with theBalm Voyage Vol 2 palette because I can reach for it and have half of my make up in my hand ready to be applied. Another amazing theBalm multi palette is the <i style="font-weight: bold;">In The Balm Of Your Hands</i>.* This is slightly different than theBalm Voyage palette because it contains their most well known and much loved products, or their "greatest hits."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><i>It contains...</i></span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">4 eyeshadows</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">1 highlighter</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">1 bronzer</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">3 blushes</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">1 cream lip/cheek product</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">1 lipstick</span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">What's great about a lot of these products is that they're multi use. It contains their most well known product, Mary Lou Manizer Highlighter which I use to both highlight but also as an eyeshadow base to help brighten my eyes on those early morning school runs. The eyeshadows can also be used as eyeliner and the blushes and bronzer can be used as eyeshadow. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Having them all in the one palette means I'm not having to waste time finding separate products to apply. It also makes getting ready quicker as I'm not umming and ahhing over which shades to use or combine to create a smokey eye.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">When it comes to my brows, I need something that looks natural. I've always had thin, light blonde eyebrows so wearing thick "insta brows" looks so strange on me. I need something that gives fullness without being overpowering. I don't strictly use one type of brow product as I enjoy trying different formulas. I love tints and powders and have recently fallen in love with pomades. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I've been testing out the<b> Garbo & Kelly <i>Pomade in Cool Blonde</i></b>.* Because I ordered online I was afraid that the colour wouldn't be right but thankfully it's the perfect colour! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It's an incredibly smooth and creamy formula which is perfect for someone who's just getting into pomades. I normally use an angled brow or eyeliner brush to apply this and then use a brow brush (like the number 18 brush from Rae Morris) to brush through to make sure that the pomade is even and natural looking.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Garbo & Kelly have some incredible products. If you follow me on Instagram you would have seen that I already have the highlighting palette and eyeshadow palette but there's a few more products from them that I want to pick up. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I'm the kind of girl who thinks that nude lipstick is a waste of time. If I'm going to go to the effort of wearing a lipstick, then it needs to be bold and colourful! I can't get enough of oranges and reds. They always make my skin look brighter and make it look like I've put in a lot more effort than I have!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The <b>Shanghai Suzy <i>"Miss Sally"</i></b> <b style="font-style: italic;">lipstick</b>* is such a gorgeous shade. The colour is wearable and doesn't need a lot of upkeep like a liquid lipstick does. They also have a blood red (<i>"Miss Hannah"</i>) and a black plum (<i>"Miss Kitty"</i>) that are on my wishlist. They've also just released their winter collection and it looks stunning. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And finally you can't forget a mascara. Because I wear glasses, I need something that will give my lashes volume and impact so my eyes don't get "lost" behind the glasses. But I don't want lashes that are too long otherwise they'll hit against my lenses.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The <b>Glo Minerals<i> Water Resistant Mascara</i></b>* has a lovely consistency that doesn't make your lashes clumpy. The mascara wand is easy to use and gives your lashes thickness and length without making them look creepy or unnatural. </span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It's nearly Mother's Day and Nude By Nature have knocked it out of the park with their 3 limited edition sets for Mother's Day. When I saw Kimberlie from <a href="https://www.instagram.com/i_shall_shop/" style="color: magenta;">I Shall Shop</a> post about the Oval Brush Set, I knew that I had to have them!</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-rne16o3Igfk/WMucW4cABMI/AAAAAAAAi2M/2A_Hsf3jhwYB2W3Kr9qqSfslS799Y6pVgCLcB/s1600/Nude%2BBy%2BNature%2BOval%2BBrush%2BSet%2B1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Nude By Nature Oval Brush Set Review" border="0" height="496" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-rne16o3Igfk/WMucW4cABMI/AAAAAAAAi2M/2A_Hsf3jhwYB2W3Kr9qqSfslS799Y6pVgCLcB/s640/Nude%2BBy%2BNature%2BOval%2BBrush%2BSet%2B1.jpg" title="Nude By Nature Oval Brush Set Review" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Like all of Nude By Natures gift sets, they're packaged gorgeously. The outer cardboard packaging explains what the brushes are for. The inner packaging has a felt material holder to keep the brushes safe as well as plastic around the neck of the brushes. While the inner packaging is gorgeous, I don't know if it's practical and if people will keep the box. </span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wzObWCj-95M/WMuccP0-jqI/AAAAAAAAi2Q/hr13PjuzYDAqa-MMZrVJUNjROAWutQ43wCLcB/s1600/Nude%2BBy%2BNature%2BOval%2BBrush%2BSet%2B%2B2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Nude By Nature Oval Brush Set Review" border="0" height="496" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wzObWCj-95M/WMuccP0-jqI/AAAAAAAAi2Q/hr13PjuzYDAqa-MMZrVJUNjROAWutQ43wCLcB/s640/Nude%2BBy%2BNature%2BOval%2BBrush%2BSet%2B%2B2.jpg" title="Nude By Nature Oval Brush Set Review" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">There are 3 brushes in the pack. The large brush is recommended for powder and liquid foundations. The medium brush works well with highlighting, blush and contouring. And finally the small brush is great for concealer.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-4AxfH2PWpaA/WMucdsRrcOI/AAAAAAAAi2U/JccNU0CT6wMUoSTeRO2qMqmMlwVXI64yACLcB/s1600/Nude%2BBy%2BNature%2BOval%2BBrush%2BSet3%2B.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img alt="Nude By Nature Oval Brush Set Review" border="0" height="496" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-4AxfH2PWpaA/WMucdsRrcOI/AAAAAAAAi2U/JccNU0CT6wMUoSTeRO2qMqmMlwVXI64yACLcB/s640/Nude%2BBy%2BNature%2BOval%2BBrush%2BSet3%2B.jpg" title="Nude By Nature Oval Brush Set Review" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">One thing about these style of brushes is that they've been known to snap around the neck of the brush. These feel quite sturdy, but because they're still somewhat flexible, I would recommend being gentle on them to keep them from breaking.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">While it's an unusual shape, after a use or two it becomes so easy to use. I like to use swiping, buffing and patting motions when I use these brushes, depending on what product I'm applying. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The brush "hairs" are synthetic fibres so you can use both powder and creams with them. Because they're not real hair they're also a great set for those that are after cruelty free brushes. </span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tzN7x_yKwOw/WMucfE0Nf2I/AAAAAAAAi2Y/mjWC0sOuj6YcMfbGNKresJUVVktz-mPVwCLcB/s1600/Nude%2BBy%2BNature%2BOval%2BBrush%2BSet5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Nude By Nature Oval Brush Set Review" border="0" height="496" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tzN7x_yKwOw/WMucfE0Nf2I/AAAAAAAAi2Y/mjWC0sOuj6YcMfbGNKresJUVVktz-mPVwCLcB/s640/Nude%2BBy%2BNature%2BOval%2BBrush%2BSet5.jpg" title="Nude By Nature Oval Brush Set Review" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">While they're all very soft and gentle, the largest brush is amazingly soft! It feels like bunnies snuggling into your skin! The small and medium brush feel a lot more dense and sturdy, so while they're soft the brush hairs don't have as much give as the large one does. </span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-7_lskXyRfPw/WMucgciCvVI/AAAAAAAAi2c/5SkxFmTzIGYIRMPf1W1dscDmksmq7dLSACLcB/s1600/Nude%2BBy%2BNature%2BOval%2BBrush%2BSet%2B4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Nude By Nature Oval Brush Set Review" border="0" height="496" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-7_lskXyRfPw/WMucgciCvVI/AAAAAAAAi2c/5SkxFmTzIGYIRMPf1W1dscDmksmq7dLSACLcB/s640/Nude%2BBy%2BNature%2BOval%2BBrush%2BSet%2B4.jpg" title="Nude By Nature Oval Brush Set Review" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I'm so glad that I bought these as they're beautiful brushes, in both function and from an aesthetically pleasing standpoint. Get in quick as I know my local store only had 2 left last week!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">They retail for $49.95 and are only available from Priceline. Priceline are having 40% off make up on Wednesday 22nd and Thursday 23rd of March. I'm not sure if the packs are included but if they are you should pick one up!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I hope that they release a larger set for Christmas as I would love to have some matching eye brushes to go with the set!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Will you be picking these up?</span><br />

At the end of January I still found that I was using a lot of products in that post and had just started testing new products, so I decided to hold off and combine my favourite products for January and February. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I've been lucky to have found some new ama</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">zing brands as well as finding some incredible products that are not only featured in my month favourites but have become holy grail items.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">At the end of January I started a new skincare routine. While I normally mix and match my skincare by using different brands, I started using the <b>Hydroskin</b> <a href="https://hydroskincare.com.au/collections/frontpage/products/travel-starter-pack"><span style="color: magenta;">Starter Pack</span></a>.* It contains a cleanser, toner, serum and moisturiser. They also sent me a salt scrub to use twice a week. I was mainly using only Hydroskin, the only exception was a cleansing oil to remove my make up and a face oil to use with my facial roller. Instantly I fell in love with the moisturiser and cleanser. Sadly I've finished both of those along with the face mist. It was love at first use with the moisturiser and I really miss using it. I have a review coming up soon as I have so much more to say about the brand, but I will tell you I NEED to get a full size version of the moisturiser. They also have a Manuka Honey Mask and Vitamin C serum that I have to try!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">If you follow me on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/bottledbeautyblog/" style="color: magenta;">Instagram</a>, you will know about my love for my <b>Dusk By Adele <i>Jade Roller</i></b>. While it has great skincare benefits, I find the mental benefit of taking time out to relax and pamper is just as important. I had wanted a rose quartz facial roller for a while and when I saw the <b>Krystle Knight Jewellery<i> Rose Quartz Face Massage Roller</i></b> instock, I couldn't press <i>Add To Cart </i>quick enough! Not only does it look gorgeous, it feels so relaxing and lovely on your skin. They currently have it in stock <a href="https://www.krystleknightjewellery.com/collections/crystals-for-the-home/products/rose-quartz-face-massage-roller"><span style="color: magenta;">here</span></a>, so if you want one get it now!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I was sent some of the <b>Bioderma <i>Sebium</i></b>* range recently and it's something that I normally wouldn't pick up in store as it's made for combination to oily skin. While I'm in my early 30s, I still do have issues with congestion and pimples. The Sebium range has a soft fresh fragrance, so beware your partner/brother/dad will probably sneakily use some!! I really love that the large <i style="font-weight: bold;">Micellar Solution</i>* bottles now come in a pump! It's so handy and easy to use! The cleanser in the range doesn't strip your skin like some cleansers can that are aimed for oily skin.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I adore highlighters and it's something that I wear almost daily. I was sent the <b>Youngblood Cosmetics <i>Illuminate Highlighting Palette</i></b>* by RY.com.au and I've worn it so much!! It contains 6 different cream shades that are all so creamy and easy to apply. I use the lightest shades on my cheeks and the darker ones I like to use on my lips. I've got swatches <a href="http://www.bottledbeauty.com/2017/02/whats-your-valentines-day-beauty-look.html"><span style="color: magenta;">here</span></a> if you're interesting in seeing how they look. I also love mixing two colours together to get a new and unusual colour. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I have a mix of the <b>TBX Beauty </b>brushes that I've been sent and also have purchased. I've had a lot of fun testing them out and have found that the concealer, fan and kabuki* brushes are my most reach for brushes. They're all soft and work incredibly! I love that they're magnetic and are also affordable! I still need to pick up the foundation, powder and eyebrow brush to complete my collection.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I've been having a love affair with <b>TheBalm</b> lately and their newest release, the <b><i>Highlite 'N Con Tour palette,</i></b>* is gorgeous. There are 2 shimmer highlights as well as 2 matte highlight shades. They do have 3 darker shades to bronze and contour with, but I find them too dark for my pale skin. There's also a gorgeous blush in the palette that's so pigmented. As you can see from my Instagram photo of my <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BRUQEoIgst2/?taken-by=bottledbeautyblog" style="color: magenta;">theBalm collection</a>, I'm a HUGE fan of their products. I need to pick up the Balm Jovi, Meet Matt(e) Nude and How 'Bout Them Apples to finish my collection! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I love to switch up my shower gel often but one scent that I wish I would never finish is <b>The Body Shop<i> Pinita Colada Shower Gel</i></b>. I bought a few bottles in the Boxing Day sale and I only have one bottle left!! It's such a great scent to use in the morning when I'd rather still be in bed.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Long time readers will know that I've loved Lanolips for the longest time, and recently I was sent the <b>Lanolips 101 Ointment Fruities in Green Apple</b>.* Lanolips are incredibly hydrating and long lasting. I normally apply one first thing in the morning and find that it even lasts through my washing my face in the shower!! The Green Apple scent is beautiful but not overpowering.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I used to be signed up to a lot of monthly beauty boxes, but ended up stopping all of them except Maslow and Co. M&C release a new box every second month, and while they're more expensive I've found some amazing products in previous boxes. One of those products is the <b>Mauli Rituals<i> Grow Strong Hair Oil</i></b>. While you're supposed to apply it at night and massage the oil in, I like to use it in the morning to help my hair look glossy and frizz free. I only need a small amount and it doesn't feel heavy or look oily. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Are there any products that you've been loving that I should try out?</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Pre kids, Valentine's Day was always a favourite day for me. Any excuse to dress up, go out for dinner and swap presents is always my kind of day! But getting out of the house without the kids is now almost mission impossible.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">One of my favourite things about Valentine's Day has to be figuring out what hair and make up to wear. Should you go vamp with red lips, girly with pink lips or go for a carefree nude colour? </span><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I've teamed up with <a href="http://ry.com.au/" style="color: magenta;">Ry.com.au</a> to bring you some amazing products that will create a gorgeous beauty look no matter if you want to look girly or vamp.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-fmwMJ8Vug7M/WKAc8TUidsI/AAAAAAAAisY/DlRdK_NGaK0Iin04c4ONNBW7o3hc5mjsgCLcB/s1600/Ry%2BValentines%2B1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="496" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-fmwMJ8Vug7M/WKAc8TUidsI/AAAAAAAAisY/DlRdK_NGaK0Iin04c4ONNBW7o3hc5mjsgCLcB/s640/Ry%2BValentines%2B1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">No matter what colour you decide, it HAS to be meal proof (as well as kiss proof) which is why liquid lipsticks will be huge this Valentine's day. This way you can get the colour you want without having to worry about your lipstick getting everywhere. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Some liquid lipstick formula's can dry out your lips and leave them anything but kiss worthy. No matter what formula I go with I always prep my lips with a lip scrub and a lip balm. I let the lip balm settle for 15 minutes before lightly blotting my lips with a tissue to get rid of any excess moisture. </span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-mQsk4jASCj8/WKAc9r_QkGI/AAAAAAAAisc/6xkSuT3K9GIOyCsFODUvrjoRYAMYT2MlACLcB/s1600/Ry%2BValentines%2B1%2B2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="496" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-mQsk4jASCj8/WKAc9r_QkGI/AAAAAAAAisc/6xkSuT3K9GIOyCsFODUvrjoRYAMYT2MlACLcB/s640/Ry%2BValentines%2B1%2B2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>TheBalm <i>Meet Matt(e) Hughes Mini Liquid Lipstick Collection</i></b>* is an amazing set of mini liquid lipsticks. There are 6 different colours which are a great mix of nudes and brighter colours. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The formula is one of the rare liquid lipstick formulas that doesn't feel drying or uncomfortable to wear. It goes on easily and sets quite quickly without feeling dehydrating. It doesn't quite set (about 85%), which is why it doesn't feel drying on your lips even 6 hours later. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I do get a slight transfer when I eat, but it's minimal and I find that it doesn't go patchy or rub off. After eating I can't tell any difference to the pigment. </span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-R40sLkeekto/WKAc_illpbI/AAAAAAAAisg/iWaIRaiBnzk40gZj8bekCXoFBNHIJsvkACLcB/s1600/Ry%2BValentines%2B1%2B2%2B3%2B4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="496" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-R40sLkeekto/WKAc_illpbI/AAAAAAAAisg/iWaIRaiBnzk40gZj8bekCXoFBNHIJsvkACLcB/s640/Ry%2BValentines%2B1%2B2%2B3%2B4.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">No matter what colour lipstick I wear, I always will wear a highlighter. It doesn't matter if it's silver, pink or gold based, I just love having a healthy glow. Lately I've been adoring cream formulas because they seem to give me a more natural glow. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The <b>Youngblood</b><i style="font-weight: bold;"> Illuminate Highlighting Palette* </i>has 6 gorgeous colours. I really adore the top row as I find that it works well for my pale skin. The bottom left colour is also gorgeous. I love that it has a silver white shade as I can either use it alone or I love to mix it with the other colours to make them even paler. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The cream formula is so soft and creamy and blends so nicely into my skin. I normally will apply it with my hands as I find my body temperature helps to sink it into my skin but sometimes will blot a sponge over the top if I'm in a hurry.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Youndblood also have a powder highlight and contour palette (<a href="https://www.ry.com.au/index.php/youngblood-contour-palette-15g.html"><span style="color: magenta;">this one</span></a>) but I haven't used it.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On date nights I like to use an eyelash curler to give my eyes a brighter and wider look. This <b>Lulu & Lipstick </b><i style="font-weight: bold;">Gold Eyelash Curler* </i>not only looks gorgeous but helps to open my eyes up by giving my lashes a lift. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The <b>Poni Cosmetics<i> The White Knight Mascara*</i></b> is one that I see raved about all over Instagram and it's one that I just needed to try. It's a semi waterproof formula that stops your mascara from transferring. As someone who wears glasses and deals with my mascara smudging constantly, this mascara is a lifesaver. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It also has two lids built into the tube. One gives your lashes volume, while the other gives length. You can use it together or just use one depending on your lashes. I love having this option as sometimes I prefer to have natural looking lashes, especially when I am going for a natural make up look.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">All of the products can be purchased online from Ry <a href="http://www.ry.com.au/"><span style="color: magenta;">here</span></a>. Thank you so much Ry for the gorgeous products.</span><br />

<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-E0x9-6Iiw10/WIWc3op-CaI/AAAAAAAAidI/NU-_hHVcitY0gDBPEfrBPjMh4lvBbb9-wCLcB/s1600/Priceline%2Bskincare%2Brecommendations%2B.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="496" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-E0x9-6Iiw10/WIWc3op-CaI/AAAAAAAAidI/NU-_hHVcitY0gDBPEfrBPjMh4lvBbb9-wCLcB/s640/Priceline%2Bskincare%2Brecommendations%2B.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It's that time of year again when we break out the credit cards and sprint to the nearest Priceline store for their 40% off skincare sale. This year they're hosting it over 3 days, both online and instore, starting off on Tuesday the 24th and finishing on Thursday the 26th of January. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This is the perfect time to stock up on old favourites and also pick up products that have been on your wishlist for a while. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I also love picking up more of the pricier products from brands like Antipodes, Dr LeWinn's, Skin Physics, Trilogy, Neostrata, Transformulas, Nuxe and Manuka Doctor. The 40% off makes a huge difference when a serum retails for $70!</span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I've previously blogged about my recommendations in my <a href="http://www.bottledbeauty.com/2015/07/my-picks-for-priceline-40-off-skincare.html"><span style="color: #ea9999;">first post</span></a> as well as my <a href="http://www.bottledbeauty.com/2016/01/my-picks-for-priceline-40-off-skincare.html"><span style="color: #ea9999;">second post</span></a> and I still stand by all of those recommendations. But it's been a while since I've done a skincare recommendation post and I have tried out A LOT of products since then. Here's part 3 of my skincare recommendations...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-H57Ex67oceY/WIWpKuqjGdI/AAAAAAAAieA/g24Iz0S5N9gOFfwJQ3Jdne1vq0mDMIoAwCLcB/s1600/1Priceline%2Bskincare%2Brecommendations%2B.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="496" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-H57Ex67oceY/WIWpKuqjGdI/AAAAAAAAieA/g24Iz0S5N9gOFfwJQ3Jdne1vq0mDMIoAwCLcB/s640/1Priceline%2Bskincare%2Brecommendations%2B.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Cleanser are one of the skincare products that I regularly go through so it's the perfect time to pick up a cleanser or two. For when I'm lazy, a micellar water is a must have. The <b>Garnier <i>Micellar Oil Infused Cleansing Water</i></b>* is new on the scene but it's already adored by bloggers and beauty addicts. The <b>Essano<i> Rosehip Gentle Facial Cleansing Micellar Water</i></b> (not pictured) is also a fantastic, no frills cleansing water. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Don't let the name turn you off the <b>Simple<i> Kind To Skin Hydrating Cleansing Oil</i>. </b>It's actually a very lightweight cleansing oil. I can use this without needing a face cloth to remove the oil! If you have oily skin, then this needs to be in your basket as it will be light enough for your skin. </span><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">Another lightweight cleansing oil is the <b>Burt's Bees</b><i style="font-weight: bold;"> Facial Cleansing Oil</i>. It's pricier than the Simple version, but I absolutely adore it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-5oN8w1foWVc/WIWdGVEIYSI/AAAAAAAAidQ/UfWMtdEJAEMTlixkV0FyJE9LIJWtaEbOQCLcB/s1600/3Priceline%2Bskincare%2Brecommendations.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="496" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-5oN8w1foWVc/WIWdGVEIYSI/AAAAAAAAidQ/UfWMtdEJAEMTlixkV0FyJE9LIJWtaEbOQCLcB/s640/3Priceline%2Bskincare%2Brecommendations.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Masks are becoming more important to peoples skincare routines and brands have gotten on board with some amazing releases. The <b>L'Oreal<i> Pure Clay Masks</i></b>* are a great range of 3 masks targeted for different skin types.</span></span> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">They're simple but effective. My only gripe is that they're in glass packaging. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Even though I'm in my early 30s I still struggle with PMS breakouts so I like the effect of a clay mask, but always worry about clay masks being too drying. I really like the <b>Nip And Fab<i> Kale Fix Clay Mask</i></b>* because it's so gentle. If you're also over the age of 20 but are dealing with blemishes then this would be great for you.</span><br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Other than cleanser, the other skincare product that I go through regularly are lip balms. I love <b>Lanolips</b> and always love to pick up some at the sale. Because I know that I will need some in the future, I always pick up one or two even when I've already got back ups. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">While I adore the <b><i>Antipodes Kiwi Seed Oil Lip Conditioner</i></b>, it's not worth the $20 price tag. If you're interested in it I would suggest buying it when it's on sale. It's hydrating and feels lovely on the lips but I do find that I need to reapply often.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-qOLiui-qUUk/WIWhyUXvFtI/AAAAAAAAido/kmvBOvPG8xw5Ur2JP5vFnW0jNEsUKYh_ACLcB/s1600/-4%2BPriceline%2Bskincare%2Brecommendations.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="496" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-qOLiui-qUUk/WIWhyUXvFtI/AAAAAAAAido/kmvBOvPG8xw5Ur2JP5vFnW0jNEsUKYh_ACLcB/s640/-4%2BPriceline%2Bskincare%2Brecommendations.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Skincare sets are such a great way of getting to try products from a brand without spending a lot of money. This cute <b>Dr Roebuck's<i> Precious Pack </i></b>has 3 deluxe sample sizes and a full size lip balm. I've loved using the products. What I love about this set is that there's enough product in the sample to figure out if I would buy it again but it's not full size so I can use it up within 2-3 weeks. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">And those are my latest recommendations. Will you be stocking up at the sale?</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">2016 was a huge year for me when it came to beauty products. I've been incredibly lucky to be introduced to new brands by other bloggers, from social media and sometimes by the brand approaching me.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">2016 was really a year for discovering new brands and products as well as falling back in love with some brands that I've used for years. </span><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">I also worked on trying to have a consistent skincare routine and improved my skin by using masks often. I also branched out into using Korean skincare which I've fallen in love with as well as using more and more natural products. </span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">Here are my most loved (and Instagrammed) products...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I had heard a lot about Jade Rollers in 2016 but I finally bit the bullet and bought one. It took a while to find one as I was scared of being duped and given a fake jade roller. The <b>Dusk By Adele</b><i style="font-weight: bold;"> Jade Roller</i> was one that I found <a href="https://duskbyadele.com/products/jade-roller"><span style="color: magenta;">online</span></a>, that was affordable and based in Australia. I adore using it and even my almost 2 year old loves to roll it over her face when she sees me using it (I need a child friendly one for her!). It feels cooling on the skin, so it's perfect to combat redness I get in my skin especially after I use a clay mask. This is a must have for 2017 if you're serious about your skin! I now want to get a rose quartz roller. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I received the <b>COSRX <i>Ultimate Moisturizing Honey Overnight Mask</i></b>* from the online store <a href="https://www.seoul2u.com/" style="color: magenta;">Seoul2U</a> and it quickly became a favourite. Even though it looks like honey it's not sticky!! I use it once or twice a week to reveal soft and clear skin. I now want to try out more of their products. I've got more information on this in my <a href="http://www.bottledbeauty.com/2016/11/the-surprisingly-easy-10-step-korean.html"><span style="color: magenta;">Korean 10 Step Skincare post</span></a>. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">A few months ago, David Jones did free 15 minute mini facials by Jurlique to introduce people to the new <b>Jurlique</b> <i style="font-weight: bold;">Purity Specialist Treatment Mask</i>. It was such a wonderful way of being able to try out the product before buying it. I instantly fell in love with their new mask. It not only helps to clear your skin and give your skin a gorgeous glow but it also exfoliates your skin softly! I've been using it once a week and I still adore it. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I've also been lucky enough to be treated to 2 <b>Jurlique <i>Classic Signature Facials</i></b>* this year. They're a great way of being able to have someone look at your skin and help you to create a skincare routine that works for your skin, your budget and your effort levels! For one hour you're treated with amazing skincare, have your arms and hands exfoliated as well as a neck and shoulder massage. Before your treatment, they talk with you about your skin and your skin concerns and they choose the products that they use to suit your skin. It's a great way of being able to try and test out the products before you purchase them. In 2017 I'm really wanting to try out their Nutri Define Touch Of Luxe Defining Facial Contouring Treatment as they use precious stones in the facial. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I was also lucky enough to have my husband organise a hot stone massage for my birthday that was heavenly. It was so relaxing and while the stones were warm, they feel more like a hot water bottle on you rather than scolding water. I found that the added warmth of the rocks made my muscles feel more relax than a classic massage. While it's not a treatment that I would have often, it would make a wonderful treatment to get once or twice a year. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Another new product for me was <b>The Harvest Garden<i> Herbal Facial Tea</i></b>* which you add to warm water. I used to use steam before a facial when I was in my teens, but I used to only use plain water. The herbal facial tea not only smells amazing, but is great to use before a facial to help open pores and get an even better result from my face mask. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Essences are becoming much more popular in the Western world and more brands are releasing them. I was so excited when the <b>Jurlique </b><i style="font-weight: bold;">Activating Water Essence</i> was released. It has a water consistency and fits so easily into my skincare routine. It's not as expensive as the SKII essence but I still get great results when I use this. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I've also been loving the <b>Jurlique<i> Herbal Recovery Antioxidant Face Oil</i></b>. I received this as a GWP when I bought the Jurlique Essence and it's amazing! I use it when I'm using my jade roller, I also put 2 drops of it on my skin before using a clay mask as well as using it as a serum. Even though it's an oil, it sinks into my skin and works well under my make up.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I also received the <b>NEOGEN<i> Bio Peel Gauze Peeling Wine Pads</i></b>* from Seoul2U and they're the ONLY exfoliating pads that I've ever liked. What I really like about these is the gauze side actually makes me feel like I'm being exfoliated. Most pads are soft and you just get a chemical exfoliation, but because these have 2 sides you can choose to have a gentle or a mix of chemical and manual exfoliation. They also have a lemon version which I want to try.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I've mentioned various times on my social media about my love for the <b>Stevie K Cosmetics<i> Lipsticks</i></b>. They're creamy, easy to use, sleek and they have amazing colours. They also have incredible outer packaging that looks like street art. I have 7 colours and need 5 more to complete the collection. "<i>The New Black</i>" is my favourite out of the range. It's an orange colour that looks amazing!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-y7HSNr7yn4c/WGo7-5ZaKeI/AAAAAAAAiR8/2brVBWDCarwWieo3LzoFlZl8dr2AKsZ2gCLcB/s1600/2016%2BBeauty%2BFavourites%2B2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="496" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-y7HSNr7yn4c/WGo7-5ZaKeI/AAAAAAAAiR8/2brVBWDCarwWieo3LzoFlZl8dr2AKsZ2gCLcB/s640/2016%2BBeauty%2BFavourites%2B2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I went highlighter crazy in 2016. One of the more inexpensive ones that I fell in love with is the </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>Nude By Nature<i> Touch Of Glow Highlight Stick</i></b>. I only own one, "<i>Champagne,</i>" which light enough for my skintone. I wish they would release some more lighter shades. The stick formula is easy to use and very travel friendly. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Recently the <b><i>Marc Jacobs Beauty Glow Stick Glistening Illuminator</i></b> had a price </span><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">drop </span><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">(from $60ish to $38) so I immediately picked it up. It's a cream formula that's easy to use and is very sleek. Some people have said that it looks like a deodorant stick, but I really like the packaging. I find this is more of a glow than a full on highlight. It's absolutely gorgeous and is a must have if you want an affordable higher end highlighter. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">On the higher end, I bought the <b>Estee Lauder x Victoria Beckham</b><i style="font-weight: bold;"> Modern Mercury Highlighter </i>the day it was released. It's a GORGEOUS highlighter that's very glowy and grown up. The packaging is incredible too!! It's very luxe (which is what you expect at that price tag) and it was worth every cent! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5erY-lS6PRE/WGo8ItRdrJI/AAAAAAAAiSE/NwQd8BbYhWkWLoM_o5jkYqQvBh1nO5A5gCLcB/s1600/2016%2BBeauty%2BFavourites5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="496" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5erY-lS6PRE/WGo8ItRdrJI/AAAAAAAAiSE/NwQd8BbYhWkWLoM_o5jkYqQvBh1nO5A5gCLcB/s640/2016%2BBeauty%2BFavourites5.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">I also ended up buying the </span><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Models Prefer x Samantha Jade</b><i style="font-weight: bold;"> Strobe To Glow Palette</i> when it was first released and it quickly became the must have product from the collaboration. It's highly pigmented and isn't for the faint-hearted. I love to reach for this when I want a "bam!" highlighter. There are 6 colours in the palette but I normally only reach for 4 of them as the other 2 are too dark for my skintone. I've previously reviewed it <a href="http://www.bottledbeauty.com/2016/11/first-impressions-review-priceline-40.html"><span style="color: magenta;">here</span></a>. If you can still find it instore or if they re-release it make sure you pick it up!!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The <b>Anastasia Beverly Hills<i> Modern Renaissance Palette</i></b> was THE most talked about product of 2016. It was also the most sought after palette and it was out of stock for most of the year. I finally got my hands on it a few weeks ago and was slightly worried that I would be disappointed with it because it's so hyped up, but I really love it. The formula does have a lot of fall out, so I prefer to do my eyes first so I can easily remove any fallen eyeshadow. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">I only received the </span><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><b>TheBalm<i> Appetit Eyeshadow Palette</i></b>* in December, but it instantly became a much loved palette. There are 9 shades, but the middle row is INSANE!! They look so stunning, especially the rusty orange colour. It's a limited edition palette, so make sure that you order it asap before it goes. I would love to see them release a palette full of the middle row formula as it's so shiny and pigmented. Like theBalm's other palettes, there's some fallout so I make sure that I do my eyes first before finishing my base. </span><br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I feel bad about mentioning this, but I also really loved the <b>LORAC <i>Mega Pro 3</i></b>. It's impossible to get in Australia unless you want to spend over $100 to get it shipped over but I was lucky to have my husband pick it up in the US when he went for work. The colours are so great and I'm so glad that I was able to get this. I can't wait to see what type of colours they'll release next Christmas. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I spoke about the </span><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Rimmel </b><b style="font-style: italic;">Fresher Skin Foundation </b>in my <a href="http://www.bottledbeauty.com/2016/12/reviewed-rimmel-fresher-skin-foundation.html" style="color: magenta;">review</a> recently and it was a product that took a while for me to love. It's a very lightweight foundation (both in consistency and coverage) but I love to reach for this whenever I want minimal make up. Read the review to find out more about it as I talk about the way that I made it work for my normal to dry skin.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I reached for <b>The Body Shop</b><i style="font-weight: bold;"> Shade Adjusting Lightening Drops </i>A LOT this year. It's a must have for anyone that can't find a shade light enough or who fake tan and need a few shades depending on if they're tanned or not. I've previously reviewed it <a href="http://www.bottledbeauty.com/2016/01/reviewed-body-shop-lightening-shade.html"><span style="color: magenta;">here</span></a>, but considering I'm on my second bottle you know it's a much loved product. </span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; text-align: left;">I've also been OBSESSED with the <b>Artiste Professional<i> Airbrush Collection</i></b> brushes. They are even better than my Real Techniques Bold Metal brushes. They're completely underrated and deserve way more hype. There are 6 brushes in the range and I'd love to see them release more. My 2 favourite brushes are the Bronzer brush and the Flawless Shadow brush. I love these so much that I've bought a second set of them and would even purchase 2 or 3 more so I'm never without them!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Ever since the <i>Rimmel Fresher Skin Foundation</i>* was launched in the UK earlier this year I've heard a lot o</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">f</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> polarising reviews. This seems to be a foundation that people either love or hate.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">At first when I used this I didn't like it. It was extremely patchy and contained little coverage. Over the last 3 weeks I've persevered with it and through trial and error have found the best ways to make it work or me and my skin type. I have ended up really liking it and even included it in my <a href="http://www.bottledbeauty.com/2016/12/these-are-few-of-my-favourite-things.html"><span style="color: magenta;">favourites post</span></a> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">f</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">rom last month. </span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have pretty normal skin. It's not really dry or oily, just somewhere in between. After using this, I would say that the foundation would suit people with oily skin. While my skin isn't dry, when I used this I found that it would show up all o</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">f</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> these dry patches that I never knew that I had. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It's also incredibly light weight both in consistency and coverage. I have heard in some reviews o</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">f</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> the foundation that someone people have been able to successfully build it up to medium coverage, but in my experience it just made the dry patches worse. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Because it has a light coverage, I can still see my uneven skintone and any redness. I normally will reach </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">f</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">or my <i>Maybelline Super Stay 24hr Concealer</i> to help cover any redness or blemishes. I</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">f you have good skin and want a light coverage similar to a BB or CC cream then you'll love this.</span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">While trialling it over the last 3 weeks I've tried every application possible. I've used my fingers, a brush and a sponge. I </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">f</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">ound </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">f</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">or my skin, it worked best when I applied it with my fingers, followed by a sponge. When I tried to apply it with a bu</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">f</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">f</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">ing brush and an oval brush I found that it showed up more dry patches than it had with my </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">fingers or a sponge</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">To make this foundation work </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">f</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">or me, I really need to invest the time in skin prep. To get the best results I need to make sure that I've exfoliated that morning. I also then use a </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">f</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">ace oil instead o</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">f</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> a cream serum. I've been using the <i>Jurlique Herbal Recovery Antioxidant </i></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>F</i></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>ace Oil</i> while I've been testing the foundation. I find that it gives me enough moisture without feeling heavy or oily. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I'll use my day moisturiser and then follow up with my <i>Mecca Cosmetica To Save </i></span><i><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">F</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">ace SP</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">F</span></i><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>50+ Superscreen</i>. Surprisingly, I found that this works best when I don't use a primer at all. I had tried it with a </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">f</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">ew different</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> primers, but they didn't work with any o</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">f</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> them. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As you can see </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">f</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">rom the photos, it comes in a tub. I normally prefer a pump but surprisingly it hasn't annoyed me. After using it </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">f</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">or 3 weeks, I've already used up a third o</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">f</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> the tub. It's quite a small pot so I can see this being used up quicker than most o</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">f</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> my other foundations.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> It retails </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">for $18.95 here in Australia, so even i</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">f I have to buy a new pot every 2-3 months it's still very affordable (especially i</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">f I'm not having to buy primer!!!).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">While I really like the foundation now, it took a while to work out what application and methods worked best </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">f</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">or me. I</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">f</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> you're interested in buying it, just be prepared that you might need to do some trialling to find out what works with your skin type, especially if your skin is on the normal to dry side. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Over the last 2 months I've been lucky enough to try out a lot of new products. There's been some great new releases as well as rediscovering some old favourites.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Here are all of the make up, skincare and body products that I've been obsessed with....</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">One of the best purchases that I've made recently has to be the <b>Models Prefer<i> Samantha Jade Strobing Palette</i></b>. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I've reviewed it already (see the </span><a href="http://www.bottledbeauty.com/2016/11/first-impressions-review-priceline-40.html" style="color: magenta; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">swatches</a><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">) and have been using it a LOT since picking it up at the Priceline 40% off make up sale. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This 6 pan highlighting palette is AMAZING. It's insanely pigmented and I need to reach for a tulip brush when I use this or I find that I'll end up applying too much highlight. I really love that it has a green and a lavender, which isn't normally available at the drugstore. I really hope that they release a part 2 of the SJ collection!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">One product that has confused me has been the<i style="font-weight: bold;"> </i><b>Rimmel </b><i style="font-weight: bold;">Fresher Skin Foundation</i>.* I've never met a foundation that has been this difficult to use on my skin before. When it works with my skin, I adore it!! But when it doesn't, I just look like a patchy mess. I have 800 things to say about this, so I'm going to post a review on it later next week because I've been testing it for 3 weeks and have found what worked and didn't work when using this. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I've fallen back in love with the <b>ModelCo</b></span> <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><i style="font-weight: bold;">Luminosity Shimmer Whip </i>cream highlighter. It's a golden based highlighter that has a beautiful glow without being over the top. I like to apply this with a sponge to give a lit from within glow.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">If you follow me on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/bottledbeautyblog/"><span style="color: magenta;">Instagram</span></a>, you would already know that I'm obsessed with <b>Stevie K Cosmetics</b> <i><b>lipsticks</b></i>. I've bought 7 of them and need to buy 5 more to complete my collection. They're so moisturising and blend like a dream. They also have an amazing street art graffiti style packaging on the box. My favourite colour has to be "The New Black" which is a gorgeous orange matte colour. They have some amazing <a href="http://www.steviekcosmetics.com/collections/gift-packs"><span style="color: magenta;">Christmas packs</span></a> which are calling my name!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I've been using a lot of K Beauty products recently thanks to my haul from <a href="http://www.bottledbeauty.com/2016/11/the-surprisingly-easy-10-step-korean.html"><span style="color: magenta;">Seoul2U</span></a> as well as the last Maslow and Co Korean beauty box. While I could just include everything that I've been using as a favourite I have 2 stand out products. The <b>Neogen<i> Bio Peel Gauze Peeling Wine Pads</i></b>* really wowed me! They're double sided exfoliating pads that exfoliate you both manually and chemically. They're easy to use and leave you with skin so soft!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I also loved the <b>COSRX<i> Ultimate Moisturizing Honey Overnight Mask</i></b>.* I like to use this 2-3 times a week. I find that this is amazing to use especially after using a clay mask. It looks like honey, but is actually a non sticky gel. Whenever I use this, my skin feels so soft and hydrated the next day. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">If I'm not using K Beauty products, then I'm using natural brands. I finished up the <b>Jurlique<i> Purely White Skin Brightening Night Cream</i></b>* last month. I adore this moisturiser. I had never really understood the importance of a night moisturiser until I used this. For a long time, I found night moisturisers to be heavy and thick but this isn't. It helps to reduce my redness and pigmentation while also giving my skin hydration. I still have the day moisturiser but will need to get another night one soon as my skin just doesn't look as radiant since I stopped using it. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I've also been so obsessed with the <b>Jurlique <i>Herbal Recovery Antioxidant Face Oil</i></b>. I received this free when I purchased their new face essence and their oil cleanser and it was love at first use. Even though it's an oil, it feels so light on my skin. I like to use this as my face oil when I use my Jade Roller or if my skin is feeling dry, then I use this as my serum. They have 2 other types of oils that I now want to try since I love this oil so much. </span><br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #222222;">I finally got around to using a matcha based mask last month. I've heard so many people rave about matcha in their food, but it was the first time that I had used it in my skincare. The </span><b style="color: #222222;">Simple As That <i>Matcha Mask</i></b><span style="color: #222222;">* is truly a very simple but effective mask as there are only 2 ingredients in it. It comes as a powder and you add water to the powder to create the mask. I like that I have control over how thick or thin the mask is. I've also spoken about this in my </span><a href="http://www.bottledbeauty.com/2016/12/6-budget-friendly-natural-beauty.html"><span style="color: magenta;">natural beauty products</span></a><span style="color: #222222;"> post.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I've never been a huge coffee scrub fan as most of them are messy and have such an overpowering scent. But the <b>Thank You <i>Coffee Body Scrub</i></b> is one that I not only liked, but fell in love with. It also contains geranium and rosewood, so it helps to give you a softer coffee scent. Thank You is a company that gives back 100% of their profits. You can even enter your products batch code to find out how the profits have positively impacted others. I will be purchasing another tub from Woolworths next week as I'm about to run out and want continue to support the brand and their charities. </span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When I became pregnant 6 years ago, I instantly became concerned with what I was putting both in and on my skin. I'd never really thought much about the ingredients but suddenly I started to look at the ingredients list.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Luckily in the last 6 years the natural beauty community has exploded. Now there are websites, blogs and stores that sell or talk only about natural beauty products. It's also become so much easier to decipher the ingredients list with so many websites that explain ingredients in simple terms. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I've teamed up with an Australian online store called <a href="https://www.thewellstore.com.au/"><span style="color: magenta;">The Well Store</span></a> to bring you this post on easy and affordable ways to incorporate natural products into your beauty routine.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When I first started to change my skincare to more natural products, I found that the easiest and most affordable products were body products. It's easy to switch to a natural shower gel and body moisturiser because it's something that you use daily. This <b>Andalou Naturals<i> Mandarin Vanilla Shower Gel</i></b>* not only smells amazing but it's also cruelty </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">free and vegan. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I also swapped my deodorant to a natural one. Once I changed to a natural deodorant, I've never gone back to chemical ones. There's so many amazing ones around that are a</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">f</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">fordable and easy to use. I pre</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">fer to use roll on ones like this <b>Vanessa <i>Megan Vanilla Pod Roll On Deodorant</i>*</b> as they're much easier and quicker to use than a paste version. The only draw back is I haven't </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">found one that's suitable </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">for working out. I've heard amazing things about <a href="https://www.thewellstore.com.au/collections/deodorant/products/black-chicken-remedies-axilla-deodorant-paste"><span style="color: magenta;">this one</span></a> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">from Black Chicken Remedies, but I haven't tried it mysel</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">f. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Another inexpensive product that you should swap over today is a lipbalm. Because you lick your lips and end up eating your lipbalm, it's one o</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">f</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> the best things to swap. This <b>Eco Lips<i> Mongo Kiss Vanilla Lip Balm</i></b>* is only $4.95 and it's so hydrating. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I make it a rule to always change my mascara every 2-3 months to make sure that I don't risk the chance of an eye infection, so it makes it easy to change to a natural mascara. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This <b>Zuii Organic<i> Certified Organic Vegan Flora </i></b></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><i>Mascara</i></b>*</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> has a thick formula which makes it easier to use as you don't have a thin formula that can smudge all over your eyes while it sets. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I try to only wash my hair only once or twice a week to keep my hair from becoming dry and my colour from becoming brassy. Dry shampoo is a must </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">f</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">or me and I'm so glad that there are more natural brands that are releasing dry shampoos. The</span><b style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Acure<i> Dry Shampoo</i></b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">* is a powder rather than a spray. While it took a </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">f</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">ew tries to get used to using the powder, I've found that it's great at keeping oil at bay. I can even use this and </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">f</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">ind that I don't need to use it the next day because it's that great at oil control. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I adore the<b> Simple As That <i>Matcha Mask</i></b>* because it really is simple. There are only 2 ingredients in the mask - organic matcha green tea powder and organic silica powder.

<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The last time I went to IMATS was about 4 years ago, so I jumped at the chance to leave the hubby and kids at home and go to Sydney alone earlier this month.<br /><br /> I left Adelaide very early on Saturday morning and left Sydney very late on Sunday night thanks to my plane being delayed. It was a crazy weekend and I packed about 800 things into the weekend. </span><br />
<div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Other than checking into my hotel, the first thing that I did was make my way to IMATS. I knew what to expect at IMATS so I f</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">eel like I wasn't disappointed with my experience. IMATS Australia isn't as amazing as it is in other countries. It's a lot smaller. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Most of</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> the brands at IMATS are available online anyway, so it's not like you're having access to brands that are impossible to get, except </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">for Hakuhodo. Most of</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> the brands have some discounts on the day, but not all.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I didn't pick up a lot at IMATS because I knew I'd be also spending money at Sephora and Mecca Maxima. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br />I ended up going to <b>Girlee Cosmetics</b> first to pick up a <i><b>Mixing Plate</b></i> and their <i><b>Express Brush Cleaning Mat</b></i>. I use The Body Shop Lightening drops most days, so the mixing plate is to keep in my bathroom so I don't have to get it all over my hands when I mix it with my foundation. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I also got their brush cleaning mat as I have their brush cleaning glove and love to use it but most of the time I just place it in my sink and use it like a mat, so I thought for $14 I might as well just get a proper mat.<br /><br />I went to the <b>Hakuhodo</b> stand about 5 times before I bought anything. I kept going back and forth on if should I buy anything. I ended up only buying 2 brushes. The <b><i>J146 Tapered Blending Brus</i>h</b> and the <i><b>J4004 Fan brush</b></i>. I do eventually want to buy more brushes from them, but I really need to do a clean out of my brushes first. I have wayyyyy too many brushes but a lot of them are cheaper brushes so I want to sort through and throw out anything that I don't use or don't love and then see what's missing. I also picked up a really cool small mirror. It has 4 mirrors in the compact and will be good when I do my eye make up because I always struggle to see without my glasses! Most of the time I squint as I'm blending hoping that it looks ok. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br />The last thing that I picked up was these Artis inspired brushes from <b>Crown Brush</b>. I was inspired to buy this after seeing one of the girls at the Beauty News meet up show what she had bought. The <i><b>Full Face Contour Set</b></i> are a synthetic brush set that help to highlight and contour your face. I thought that even I I didn't like them, they'd make cute Instagram props! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">While I was at IMATS I also stayed to see Rae Morris talk. She's really inspiring and wonderful to watch. Her philosophy is less is more. She doesn't hide everything (eg blemishes) as it's easier to retouch "naked" skin rather than retouching make up that's thick and heavy. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">When I was walking back to my hotel I found this cute Korean store that had beauty products. Nothing was in English, so I decided to stick to the face masks as I could tell what was in them. I picked up all of these<i> Innisfree</i> and <i>Etude House</i> face masks. They were so inexpensive. They were between $1.80 and $3 each and when you bought 5 or more you got an extra 10% off. I wish that I had picked up more. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">On the Saturday I also went to Pitt St to check out Sephora. Well I tried to!! It was so busy and I could barely check anything out so I ended going to the Broadway store instead. It was so much more chill there and I ended up spending an hour there shopping. I didn't really get a lot because a lot o</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">f</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> things you can buy online but the one thing that I really wanted was the </span><b style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">Elizabeth And James</b><i style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"> <b>Nirvana Black Perfume Rollerball</b></i><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">. While the white version was nice, I really loved the black one. I only picked up a rollerball as I want to try it for a few weeks. If I like it I'll get my hubby to buy me a full size one next time he's in the US. </span><i style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"> </i><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br />I also picked up some of the <b>Sephora</b> <i style="font-weight: bold;">Creamy Body Wash</i><b><i> Pods</i></b> to use in Sydney and also some extra to take home.<br /><br />I picked up one of the small <b>Jason Wu for Caudalie </b><i style="font-weight: bold;">Beauty Elixir</i> bottles because these aren't available online. I've never tried the Beauty Elixir even though it's raved about by everyone.<br /><br />A complete impulse purchase was the<i style="font-weight: bold;"> </i><b>Beautyblender </b><i style="font-weight: bold;">Liner.designer</i>. I suck at eyeliner, so hopefully it helps. It's a little gimmicky, but i</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">f</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> it works it's worth it!! </span><i style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; font-weight: bold;"> </i><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br />I also ended up getting some cute deluxe sample freebies from Sephora. I got a 3CE lipstick and a Marc Jacobs mini eyeliner and lipstick duo. I also traded in 100 of my perk points to get a deluxe sample of the <b>Marc Jacobs<i> Velvet Noir Major Volume Mascara</i></b>. A lot of people rave about it, but for the price it's pretty average.... pretty but no better than my Covergirl mascara. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I also caught up with some other bloggers on the Saturday night which was really lovely and was much better than being alone in a hotel room. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Early Sunday morning I went to <b>The Lip Lab</b> in Paddington. At The Lip Lab you can create your own lipstick or lipgloss. You let them know what colour you want, if it's matte/creme/shimmer and if you want a scent. They make it right in front o</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">f</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> you so you can say if you want more or less of something. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I wanted a bright and glossy red. It was inspired by the Louboutin red sole. While I was there we got a nice red but I wanted it a little bit more orange, so she was able to add in more colour to change it to what I wanted. I also added the scent Mimosa as it smelt amazing and was very different to other lipsticks that I have. I'm so pleased with how it turned out. The only thing that sucks is that it needs to set for 24 hours before you use it. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">We don't have a Lip Lab in Adelaide so it was worth getting up early for! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">They keep the details of what colours they used to create your lipstick, so you can reorder it again in the future. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It cost $68, which is a bit pricey for a lipstick but you're paying for the service as well so when you add in the 30 minutes it takes, it's really a reasonable price. If they open up a store in Adelaide, I think I would go back a couple times a year to make a new lipstick. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I have been on the </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">fence about the </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>Smashbox </b><i style="font-weight: bold;">Light It Up LA Lights Palette</i> </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">f</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">or a while but Kimberlie </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">f</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">rom</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> <i>I Shall Shop</i> raved about it on her</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/i_shall_shop/?hl=en" style="color: magenta;">Instagram</a> so I knew that I needed to get it. I'm soooo glad that I got it as it's now sold out online and we don't have a Mecca Maxima in Adelaide. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">And </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">finally I attended the Bloggers United AU Sydney event. Bloggers United gets together bloggers with other bloggers and brands. The Sydney event was more about behind the scenes issues that bloggers </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">f</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">ace rather than </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">f</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">inding out about new brands. It was a fascinating afternoon. I learnt so much </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">from everyone. It was also lovely to meet so many bloggers that I know </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">f</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">rom their websites or </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">f</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">rom social media. Everyone was so lovely and even though I don't live in Sydney I </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">f</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">elt so included. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">A few years ago, French skincare was huge. More and more stores and websites were selling cult favourites that we all had to have and try. French skincare was all about simple and effortless products and micellar water suddenly was in every girls skincare cabinet. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Fast forward to today and it's all about Korean beauty products (otherwise known as K-Beauty). More and more brands are becoming more accessible to us and suddenly it's a new skincare world! </span><br />

<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I've been wanting to get into K Beauty products but as someone who doesn't speak or read Korean, finding out about products and brands isn't easy. Last weekend, I was in Sydney at a Korean store and nothing was in English. I ended up purchasing some face masks, but was hesitant to buy anything else as I wasn't quite sure what it was or how to use it. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Lucky there are more websites that are around to help the clueless (ie ME!!) to have access to amazing Korean products without needing to learn a new language. <b><a href="https://www.seoul2u.com/"><span style="color: magenta;">Seoul2U</span></a></b> (apart from having an awesome name) has also done all of the work for me. Denise who runs the website has picked some of the best brands and products so I don't have to do a lot of research on my own. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">She kindly sent me some amazing products so I could incorporate them into a 10 step routine. The 10 step skincare routine is at the heart of every K Beauty fan and brand. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">While it might sound overwhelming to incorporate 10 steps into your routine, I actually found that I was doing most of them already. And also it's not 10 steps everyday twice a day, so don't think that it's too much to incorporate into your morning and night. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Here is the surprisingly easy way to apply the 10 step routine into your day...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>Step 1... Remove your make up</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Oil cleansers are big in the beauty world and are at the heart of K Beauty. Your skin won't look good if you sleep in your make up and you definitely will waste your money on all of your other products if you don't take care of your skin and remove your make up properly. Even if you don't wear make up, you still need to double cleanse because you should wear a sunscreen daily!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It doesn't matter if you use a cleansing balm, a cleansing oil or even a cleansing stick! I've been using the <b>SU:M37 </b><i style="font-weight: bold;">Miracle Rose Cleansing Stick</i>*<i style="font-weight: bold;"> </i>as my first cleanse to help remove my make up. It's a really interesting product to use when you're used to oils and balms. It's perfect for travelling and if you love the scent of rose, you'll adore this scent! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This is a bit thicker so I'd recommend it more for drier skin. It has the consistency of a balm, so make sure you use a wash cloth to remove it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>Step 2... Cleanse again</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This is something that I already do, and most likely you do too! Use a cleanser that helps to not only clean your face but also helps your skin if you suffer from dry or oily skin. A cream cleanser is great for dry skin, while a gel based cleanser is good for combination to oily skin. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UCU5lCJngmc/WDqWhv3ipxI/AAAAAAAAh6o/SozprZyBtNY43qb0L3NL54pn_w_SxzM1gCLcB/s1600/Seoul2U%2BHaul%2B4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="496" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UCU5lCJngmc/WDqWhv3ipxI/AAAAAAAAh6o/SozprZyBtNY43qb0L3NL54pn_w_SxzM1gCLcB/s640/Seoul2U%2BHaul%2B4.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>Step 3... Exfoliate</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">As I said before, you won't do every step twice a day and this is a step that you might only do 1-3 times a week depending on your age and your skin type. Cream exfoliators are great for drier skin. Exfoliating pads are great for lazy girls or </span><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">f</span><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">or those who don't like the feeling of rough granules on their face. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I've been loving using the <b>NEOGEN </b><i style="font-weight: bold;">Bio Peel Gauze Peeling Wine Pads</i>* as you get both a chemical and soft physical exfoliant. They're great for when I'm in a hurry as they're so easy to use and also very quick. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">These have a different texture on each side. I've found that these are a lot thicker and easier to use than other exfoliating pads that I've previously used. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">These are also fantastic if you suffer from "chicken skin" </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">(Keratosis pilaris). The pads softly and gently help break down a build up of excess keratin and can help to reduce KP. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>Step 4... Toner</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">As a child of the 90s, we were told to cleanse, tone and moisturise for beautiful skin. It's a step that I adore and do everyday so I was so glad to see it as a K Beauty step.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Back in the 90s it was used to help restore the PH balance of your skin after cleansing as well as removing any remaining cleanser. While beauty has come a long way and cleansers aren't as abrasive and disruptive to our PH as they used to be, using a toner is both relaxing and can help the rest of your skincare work harder. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Always make sure that you pat the toner into your skin, not rub.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-CMFMOdTIo3A/WDqWvy0OqmI/AAAAAAAAh6s/62uZ5riQqe0h5bnLF2fCgOvBMxs8lBHDQCLcB/s1600/Seoul2U%2BHaul%2B6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="496" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-CMFMOdTIo3A/WDqWvy0OqmI/AAAAAAAAh6s/62uZ5riQqe0h5bnLF2fCgOvBMxs8lBHDQCLcB/s640/Seoul2U%2BHaul%2B6.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>Step 5... Essence</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">If there's only 2 things you know about K Beauty, most likely it would have to be essences and sheet masks!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">An essence is almost like a hybrid of a toner and serum. It isn't as active as a serum but is much more than a classic toner. They can do anything from giving your skin extra hydration to enhancing a brighter skin tone. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">One of the most famous essences is from SK II which has a watery liquid. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The <b>COSRX<i> Galactomyces 95 Whitening Power Essence</i></b>* is slightly thicker. It's not quite a water consistency but not quite a gel. If you love the idea of a essence but find that most of it slips through your fingers as you go to apply it, then I can't recommend this enough. It's amazing!!! It's also quite affordable at only $29. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I've also heard some amazing things about the Missha <i>Time Revolution First Treatment Essence</i> and it's on my wishlist for when I finish my bottle of the COSRX essence. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">If I'm feeling particularly lazy I normally will skip a toner and a serum and just use an essence so I can get to bed 25 seconds quicker! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>Step 6... Serum/Ampule/Booster</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">No matter your skin type, a serum is a fantastic investment to having and maintaining good skin. A serum is a powerhouse product that helps to reduce or remove any skincare issues you have. Depending on your skin type, a serum can help give hydration to dry skin, brighten dull or uneven skin or help to balance oily skin. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>Step 7... Sheet/Hydrogel Mask</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This is another step that isn't a daily step. Once or twice a week, use a mask that helps to reduce or remove your skin issues. The best thing about K Beauty is that they literally have a mask for ANY and EVERY skin issue!! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">There are 2 types of sheet masks... cotton type material or a gel (hydrogel). Hydrogel sheet masks are water soluble, so it's perfect </span><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">f</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">or adding extra hydration into your skin. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Some sheet masks will tell you to rub any excess gel onto your skin, while others require you to wash it off. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The store I went to in Sydney had 3 walls of sheet masks!! They had so many different types available. One of the most popular and odd sounding masks are the ones that contain snail mucin. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The <b>Benton<i> Snail Bee High Content Mask Pack</i></b>* is a great mask because it contains snail slime filtrate and bee venom. It's a cotton mask that's alcohol free. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">If snail slime isn't your thing then aloe vera and honey are other popular ingredients in masks. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The great thing about sheet masks is that they're affordable so it's worth buying a few to find what ones work for your skin.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>Step 8... Eye Cream</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I'm going to be honest and say that I suck at this step!!! I wish that I had started it earlier in my skincare li</span><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">f</span><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">e so it would be a habit, but sadly I'm either too lazy or forgetful when it comes to this step.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The skin around your eyes is thinner than the skin on the rest of your body, so it's important to be gentle when apply an eye cream. Gently pat it into your skin instead of rubbing it in. Applying it with your pinky finger will make sure that you're not applying too much pressure around the eye area. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Also eye cream moves, so make sure you don't put it too close to your eyes as it will end up creeping into your waterline and sting!! </span><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">Also make sure your hands are clean!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>Step 9... Day Or Night Moisturiser</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">While it might seem expensive at first, buying a separate moisturiser for day and night is really important especially if you want beautiful skin.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">A day moisturiser is lighter and sometimes it contains SPF. Because it's lighter it helps to sit better under your sunscreen or make up.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">A night moisturiser is normally thicker and has more active ingredients. A good night moisturiser will also help to reduce any skin issues you have like dry, oily or uneven skin. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I've ADORED the <b>COSRX </b><i style="font-weight: bold;">Ultimate Moisturising Honey Overnight Mask</i>.* It's one of the best night time moisturisers that I've every tried!!! It looks exactly like honey and the first time that I used it I was expecting it to feel sticky... </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">But it's just a very cool gel moisturiser. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Whenever I use this my skin feels so hydrated and radiant the next morning. I use it 2-3 times a week depending on how my skin is feeling. If you only try one K Beauty product then it NEEDS to be this!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>Step 10...Sunscreen</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Sunscreen is THE most important skincare step. There's no point in using all of these amazing products if you don't protect your skin, especially if you're using products to whiten and brighten your skintone. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So as you can see, it seems like a lot but you're probably doing most of these things already. If you're on a budget then investing in a essence and sheet mask will honestly make a world of difference. Slowly incorporate more Korean brands into your routine when you've finished up what you're currently using. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">While researching what brands and products were K Beauty must haves, I found a lot of people recommend products from COSRX, Missha, Innisfree, Etude House, Tony Moly, Laneige, Dr Jart and Banila Co. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">If you're in Australia, I can't recommend <a href="https://www.seoul2u.com/"><span style="color: magenta;">Seoul2U</span></a> enough. They have a great selection of products and they've got free shipping on orders $35 or more. I'm interested in ordering the Banila Co <i>Clean It Zero Cleansing Cream</i> and the Son & Park <i>Beauty Water</i> as these are the products that I kept seeing recommended on youTube as peoples must haves. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Seoul2U also have a <a href="https://www.seoul2u.com/blogs/news" style="color: magenta;">blog</a> on their website which has more information on the 10 step routine as well as other great articles.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Last week Priceline had their 40% off make up sale. I'm going to Sydney this weekend for IMATs and a <a href="https://bloggersunitedau.com/"><span style="color: magenta;">Bloggers United AU</span></a> blog event so I told myself that I could only pick up one or two things.... </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">We all know how well that goes!!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Luckily I was quite restrained. Here's what I picked up.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-z1jEnb6dhC0/WCoyxxfT1jI/AAAAAAAAh0g/67Zs7buPAnQbA09FkdRuxAIyxtAmPcB8wCLcB/s1600/Priceline%2BHaul%2B2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="496" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-z1jEnb6dhC0/WCoyxxfT1jI/AAAAAAAAh0g/67Zs7buPAnQbA09FkdRuxAIyxtAmPcB8wCLcB/s640/Priceline%2BHaul%2B2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The Samantha Jade x Models Prefer collaboration wasn't supposed to hit stores until after the sale, but some stores put it out while the 40% sale was on. The products weren't even on my radar until I saw on Instagram that some people bought them at the sale and then I HAD to have them!!! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Samantha Jade is an Australian singer who won X Factor a few years ago. When I first heard about this collab it made no sense to me until I found out she worked as a make up artist before the X Factor! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The collection is really well thought out. There's a brush set, contour kit, eye shadow palette, brow kit, highlighting palette, liquid eyeliner and a liquid lipstick set. There's enough products to release a decent collection and the products range from $9.95 to $49.95. </span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-67BR4qJwdqY/WCoyzPFlqjI/AAAAAAAAh0k/GxoXv_dToIMXmmeqQQMKzJla5SMunhQTwCLcB/s1600/Priceline%2BHaul%2B3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="496" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-67BR4qJwdqY/WCoyzPFlqjI/AAAAAAAAh0k/GxoXv_dToIMXmmeqQQMKzJla5SMunhQTwCLcB/s640/Priceline%2BHaul%2B3.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I saw on Instagram the Strobing Palette and instantly knew that I had to have it. There are 6 shades that will suit different skintones. There are 5 things that I adore this palette.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">1. They're really pigmented and so so smooth. They have an almost creamy texture even though they're a powder. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">2. They've included a pearly green based shade as well as a lavender shade which isn't easily available from most drugstore brands. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">3. The palette is slim and lightweight so it's easy to store and also travel with. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">4. Because of their creamy texture, they're amazing eyeshadows!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">5. They're not glittery. Even though they're really pigmented they can still look very natural and glowy if you only apply a very small amount. I like to apply it with a tulip brush (like my Marc Jacobs Bronzer Brush, Artiste Airbrush Mega Powder/Bronzer Brush or the Models Prefer Highlighting & Contour Brush). When I apply it with a tulip brush rather than a dome or angled shape, I find that it makes it less likely that I'll go overboard and look like a disco ball.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4QGG7IfNjLo/WCpwd82tQ_I/AAAAAAAAh1Q/r53OSUNZSK8j1tEsWQURGN3BAwtRqbvBwCLcB/s1600/Priceline%2BHaul%2B13.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="496" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4QGG7IfNjLo/WCpwd82tQ_I/AAAAAAAAh1Q/r53OSUNZSK8j1tEsWQURGN3BAwtRqbvBwCLcB/s640/Priceline%2BHaul%2B13.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I only gentle swiped these on once and you can see just how pigmented they are, especially the bottom row of shades.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The palette retails for $19.95, so it's really affordable. My only complaint about it is the fact that it doesn't have a mirror in the palette. It instead has instructions. Considering there's a brochure in the box, I feel like a mirror would have been better than a how to on the lid. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Also one small detail that annoys me is the fact that the brushes have gold ferrules on them, but the button on the brush holder is silver. It's such a tiny detail, but it kills me that they don't match!</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tyRFzlOicIU/WCoy0TM28cI/AAAAAAAAh0o/exFEcW_UksoJwqLIhy3UYHdTcOAnSG2QQCLcB/s1600/Priceline%2BHaul%2B4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="496" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tyRFzlOicIU/WCoy0TM28cI/AAAAAAAAh0o/exFEcW_UksoJwqLIhy3UYHdTcOAnSG2QQCLcB/s640/Priceline%2BHaul%2B4.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Another thing that I picked up from the collection was the Brush Set. It contains 6 brushes in a travel cylinder. I've found that most of the newer Models Prefer brushes are amazing. Their face brushes are great so I knew that this kit would be a winner. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The store I went to didn't have any of the range out, so I actually bought this without knowing what brushes were included!! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In the kit there is a ...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Powder Brush</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Multi Tasker Brush </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Angled Contour brush</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Eyeshadow Brush</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Blending Brush </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Brow/Angled Eyeliner Brush</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">They've done a great job of making the brushes easy to use for beginners while also making it a must have kit for those of use who already have too many brushes. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YNvyOCiv3jU/WCoy3GhwdLI/AAAAAAAAh0w/Z8zAjEwh9WYwhYZAH-K9kTxCgoU-38-pACLcB/s1600/Priceline%2BHaul%2B6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="496" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YNvyOCiv3jU/WCoy3GhwdLI/AAAAAAAAh0w/Z8zAjEwh9WYwhYZAH-K9kTxCgoU-38-pACLcB/s640/Priceline%2BHaul%2B6.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The eye brushes are really soft and easy to use. The eyeshadow and blending brushes are lovely to use. They're not too big which is a plus for me as I have small eyes. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The eyeliner/brow brush is a little bit longer than the other brushes I have. It's soft and yet doesn't move too much when you're applying eyeliner. People are very particular about their eyeliner brushes, so I think the length is something that people will either love or hate. </span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tvNPZY-f12w/WCoy4VjRIEI/AAAAAAAAh00/rYe-fUzILfAfxsRFyG03F93IDsDk-AYxgCLcB/s1600/Priceline%2BHaul%2B7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="496" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tvNPZY-f12w/WCoy4VjRIEI/AAAAAAAAh00/rYe-fUzILfAfxsRFyG03F93IDsDk-AYxgCLcB/s640/Priceline%2BHaul%2B7.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The face brushes are amazing. They're so soft and feel lovely on your skin. The face brushes in this set are even softer than the other face brushes they sell and those brushes are soft and beautiful to use. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I adore angled brushes for applying blush, so I was really excited to see this in the kit. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-cGjLBJTx2Gs/WCoy5ghzwCI/AAAAAAAAh04/GjSjUhRikMQrrVeAilXkxy8JAZOOAVRiACLcB/s1600/Priceline%2BHaul%2B8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="496" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-cGjLBJTx2Gs/WCoy5ghzwCI/AAAAAAAAh04/GjSjUhRikMQrrVeAilXkxy8JAZOOAVRiACLcB/s640/Priceline%2BHaul%2B8.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Personally I do think that they should have swapped the Powder brush for a tulip tipped brush like their Powder brush in their normal line. The shape of the Powder and the Multi-Tasker brush is the same, but the Multi is slightly smaller. I feel like it would have been better to include a different shape rather than the same brush in 2 different sizes. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Overall the brush set is awesome! While I have a few things that I would change about it, this is coming from someone who adores brushes and owns A LOT!!! This set would be perfect for most people and they wouldn't find the things that I don't like an issue.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-9omvqdFaycs/WCpwyy0BZjI/AAAAAAAAh1U/frlm_p7Cjy8KKMc2wucSDce_Wbw6xb5iQCLcB/s1600/Priceline%2BHaul%2B9.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="496" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-9omvqdFaycs/WCpwyy0BZjI/AAAAAAAAh1U/frlm_p7Cjy8KKMc2wucSDce_Wbw6xb5iQCLcB/s640/Priceline%2BHaul%2B9.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The eyeshadow palette is a nude palette that has a mix of matte and shimmer shades. The shadows feel really creamy and are a similar consistency to the highlighting palette.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The shadows are easy to apply and easy to blend. The eyeshadow palette is only $17.95, which is a great price for the palette. It's a smart move to have a neutral eyeshadow as a lot of Priceline customers who are looking for palettes in store wouldn't be looking for something bold like a UD Vice palette. I would love to see them branch out and release more variations. </span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/--HQJhH1ujqk/WCpw0GhujDI/AAAAAAAAh1Y/1iz3hxz4cgg09z0aTgNtN0-0VykujlKZQCLcB/s1600/Priceline%2BHaul%2B10.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="496" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/--HQJhH1ujqk/WCpw0GhujDI/AAAAAAAAh1Y/1iz3hxz4cgg09z0aTgNtN0-0VykujlKZQCLcB/s640/Priceline%2BHaul%2B10.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The palest shade is a bit crumbly, but I found the rest of the shades were fine. Like most drugstore eyeshadows, the shimmers were better quality than the mattes. Also I would suggest using an eyeshadow primer or a cream shadow to give longer lasting results and brighter pigment. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">After using these SJ x MP products, I now want to pick up more from the range! I know that the range is hugely popular (my Insta is filled with Aussie bloggers that are in love with the products) so if you see them in store, then pick them up ASAP before they sell out!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I really hope that they do a part 2. There's so many other great product that they could add to the collection. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Even though Essence is super affordable, I found their new Me & My Umbrella Collection in store and had to pick it up. Essence collections are so difficult to pick up in store. They always sell out quickly so I made sure that I picked up the blush. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I adore Essence blushes and their limited edition ones are so cute. I love the embossing on the blush!!</span></div>

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I also picked up their cream pencil contour kit from the new collection. They're so small and adorable! </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I love how creamy they feel. They're easy to apply and blend like a dream. I do wish that they had different shades available as a one colour fits all doesn't work!If you're light to medium this kit will work for you.</span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">And finally I picked up a new lip stick. I adore Bourjois lipsticks. They're hydrating, long lasting and are really affordable. They released 4 new red shades so I picked up one of them. If you've never used a Bourjois lipstick, then make sure you pick up one on your next Priceline visit! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So as you can see, I picked up more than one thing, but I didn't go crazy either!!! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Did you pick up anything at the sale?</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; text-align: justify;">If I was to ask you where the biggest Lush store in Australia was I'm sure that you would reply with Sydney or Melbourne, since they get all of the biggest and best things. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; text-align: left;">But finally a brand knows how awesome Adelaide is and that brand is LUSH!! On Friday I went to a preview of the new store in Adelaide that opened this weekend. For those that haven't seen the old Rundle Mall store, it was a shoe box. But now we have the biggest (and the best) store in Australia. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">What's really great about the store is the fact that it's wheelchair and pram accessible. There's also 2 registers downstairs as well as another register up stairs! Yes... there's 2 levels of Lush.</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-3IqfNcSutCk/WB8bbCxEXwI/AAAAAAAAhrE/-ik0fRzx35UMs9JC77DcbClzq5eVa95lQCLcB/s1600/Lush%2B2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="496" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-3IqfNcSutCk/WB8bbCxEXwI/AAAAAAAAhrE/-ik0fRzx35UMs9JC77DcbClzq5eVa95lQCLcB/s640/Lush%2B2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The lower level has all of the bath products. There's an awesome sink set up that has 3 separate sinks to showcase all of the amazing melts, bubble bars and bath bombs. The way they've set the store up means that you're able to have a play with the products. Lush also love to demonstrate their products (especially the bath products) and you'll often </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">f</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">ind them walking around with a bowl ready </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">f</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">or you to sni</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">f</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">f their favourite bath bomb.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">There is also an "aisle of doom" where all of their lipbalms and scrubs are. If you can walk past this while waiting in line without picking up something then you have super hero willpower! </span><br />
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Upstairs you walk into the haircare section. It's great to see Lush expanding their haircare range every year as there's not a lot of natural hair ranges that are easy to buy instore.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Dlm9R5Uczlc/WB8bYnTbKMI/AAAAAAAAhq8/qys4FObEBaE2XpLGXuM4jsGK3UopvyuzwCLcB/s1600/Lush%2B6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="496" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Dlm9R5Uczlc/WB8bYnTbKMI/AAAAAAAAhq8/qys4FObEBaE2XpLGXuM4jsGK3UopvyuzwCLcB/s640/Lush%2B6.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Next up are the body moisturisers, then their skincare. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">They have a skincare section that houses the fresh</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> skincare masks as well as the cleansers. Lush also have toners, moisturisers and exfoliators here. What I loved about this section is that there's a lot o</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">f</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> room to sit down, so you can have a demonstration o</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">f</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> the different ranges and products. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Because they have testers o</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">f everything out, it's a great way o</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">f</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> being able to try before you buy. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">They have a cute set up where the make up is. I actually wasn't that familiar with their make up. The way the old store was set up meant that i</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">f</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> someone was in that section, they almost blocked you </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">from having a look so I'd </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">f</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">ind that most o</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">f</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> the time I could only see hal</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">f o</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">f</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> the store. So it was lovely getting to have the make up easily accessible so I could have a play with the different colours.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Upstairs they also had their soaps, shower gels and gi</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">f</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">t packs. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It was lovely being at the opening because we learnt so much about Lush as a business, about their ethics as well as the manufacturing. The majority o</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">f</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> the products are made in their Sydney manufacturing plant, except </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">for the per</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">f</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">umes</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> and a </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">few other products.</span><br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">One o</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">f the highlights was actually making our own bath bombs! It was really cool seeing how easy yet delicate the process was. While it seemed easy to put the mixture into the mould and smush it together, once you put the stars in you had to make sure that they didn't get moved or hidden. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">They needed to be in their moulds </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">f</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">or 24 hours to set. As you can see </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">from </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">my bath bomb, I didn't do the best job o</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">f keeping the stars </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">f</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">rom being covered in the blue powder. I'll now have a much more greater appreciation when I get their handmade products </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">f</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">or the work that goes into making them perfect!! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Lush kindly gave us all a gi</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">f</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">t voucher</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> so I picked up some o</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">f</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> the Christmas products as well as spending my own money to get some o</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">f their hair</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> products. I'm so in love with their <i>"Lust"</i> perfume!

<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It's easy to fall in love with the newest and most hyped up products, but there are some products that have been out for years and are still loved and raved about. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">No matter what trends are in at the moment, these products are ALWAYS in style to me. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The <b>Bioderma</b><i style="font-weight: bold;"> Sensibio Micelle Solution</i>* is a skincare game changer!!! I wish I knew about this when I was in my early 20s! It would have meant that I never would have gone to bed with make up on. I love that I can use this to remove my make up without having to use water. I always keep a bottle in my bathroom for those nights when I just want to get to sleep.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">There are a lot of thermal spring waters on the market. I've been using them off and on since I was a teenager. I love to use them as a toner, a make up setting spray and I also apply them after hair removal to reduce any redness. I've tried a lot, but my favourite is the </span><b style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><i>Uriage Thermal Water</i></b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">. I'm currently on my 4th bottle. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>Antipodes</b> is a bloggers favourite. They're a natural brand from New Zealand that gives you great results with a side of luxury. They have some amazing products but the one that I ALWAYS see raved about is the <b><i>Aura Manuka Honey Mask</i></b>. If you've never tried it, go pick it up tomorrow!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Setting sprays are a must for anyone looking at keeping their make up in place all day. There are a lot around but the <b>Urban Decay<i> All Nighter Makeup Setting Spray</i></b> is the one that I always see people recommend. It's also perfect to use if you've used too much powder products as it helps to stop it looking dry and cakey. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">An amazing Aussie product that everyone needs to try is the <b>Lanolips</b> lip balms. They have some amazing scents (pear and peach are my favourite ones) that are hydrating and last longer than most lip balms. I've purchased so many that I've lost count. The Lemonaid Lip Aid is amazing because it has a gorgeous shine and the lemon oil also helps to exfoliate your lips softly. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The <b>Nuxe</b><i style="font-weight: bold;"> Huile Prodigieuse Multi Purpose Dry Oil</i> is an oil you can use on your face, hair and body that will help to hydrate and moisturise you from head to toe. Even though it's an oil, it doesn't make you feel oily. It also has a gorgeous and sophisticated scent that was so popular that they released a perfume of the scent. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">While essences are starting to gain popularity here in Australia, there's been one on the market that has been raved about for years. The <b>SK II<i> Facial Treatment Essence</i></b> lives up to the hype. I found that it wasn't until I stopped using it that I really noticed how much of a difference it made to my skin. It gives me clearer, brighter and more glowier skin. While it's pricey, it's worth every cent. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It's a cliche to have a candle burning in the background of a youTube video, but after you've used a<b> Bath And Body Works candle</b> you'll know why everyone raves about them. The 3 wick candles are HUGE. They burn for weeks and they have the most amazing scents. They're also quite affordable. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Highlighters have really exploded in popularity over the last 2 years, but the <b>Becca <i>Shimmering Skin Perfector</i></b> highlighter has been a cult favourite for many years. They have both a powder and liquid formula but I prefer the pressed version as it's quicker and easier to use. I really like "Moonstone" as it works best for my pale skin.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">A lot of people would say the Urban Decay Naked Palettes are a cult favourite, but personally I think they're overrated. I prefer the <b>Too Faced <i>Chocolate Bar Palette</i></b>. While it has a lot of easy to wear neutral colours, there's also a gorgeous golden olive colour and a sparkly purple. It has a great mix of mattes and shimmers that work for all different skintones.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Trying to find a blush that looks radiant without being glittery or shiny can be hard, but <b>Hourglass</b> caused a stir when they released their <i><b>Ambient Lighting Blushes</b></i>. The blushes are extremely pigmented but they never look cakey. I bought the Christmas palette and I adore it! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>Real Techniques</b> were a breath of fresh air when they were first released. There was a gap in the market for affordable but great quality brushes. Every blogger and youTuber owns at least one RT brush. I love that they've released the Bold Metals range which are more glamorous and look gorgeous displayed in my brush holder. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">While the <b>Marc Jacobs <i>Bronzer Brush</i></b> has a hefty price tag, it's worth every cent. It has a gorgeous tulip shape that makes it perfect for applying highlighter and contour as well as powder and bronzer. I adore this so much that I could happily purchase another one. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">One of the most hyped products of the last decade has been the <b>ghd</b> hair straightener. I first purchased one about 10 years ago. It was one of the pink ones that they released as apart of their National Breast Cancer campaign. It was at that stage my most expensive purchase item and I adored it! I now have the <b>ghd<i> Platinum Serene Pearl Styler</i></b>* and it's incredible. It has curved sides which make it perfect for creating curls. I also adore the "ding" it makes when it has heated up and it's ready to use. This comes with a heat resistant mat which is perfect for when I'm busy in the morning. I can put it on the mat to cool down and not worry about melting or setting anything on fire. Even though I love this so much, I'm lusting after the Christmas edition as it's copper!!! It's so pretty!! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">How many of these have you tried? Is there any cult products that you would add to the list?</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Last month I combined my July and August favourites in one post (see </span><a href="http://www.bottledbeauty.com/2016/09/these-are-few-of-my-favourite-things.html" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: magenta;">here</span></a><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">) and looking back at it, I'm still using all of the products and adoring them. I even went and bought my second bottle of </span><b style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">The Body Shop <i>Shade Adjusting Lightening Drops</i></b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> last week. These have been a lifesaver for me as most affordable foundations don't do shades pale enough for me. Even though the bottle isn't huge, I bought the bottle at the start of the year in January (see my review </span><a href="http://www.bottledbeauty.com/2016/01/reviewed-body-shop-lightening-shade.html" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: magenta;">here</span></a><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">) and only just had to buy a new bottle so it's been value for money!</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Natio recently released 2 new eyeshadow palettes. These palettes are quite different to palettes they've previously released and look quite similar to the MAC 15 eye shadow palettes. They have a pink/purple version and a gold/nude version available. At only $19.95, you can afford both. </span><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">Both of the</span><b style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"> Natio <i>Natural Shades Eyeshadow Palettes </i></b><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">have a mix of mattes, shimmers and glitters. Like most brands, the shimmers are the stand outs. The mattes and glitters are more hit and miss.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I've been addicted to the <b>Rimmel <i>15th Anniversary Lasting Finish Lipstick By Kate</i></b>,* especially the 3 red lipsticks. Idol Red is my go to lipstick lately. It's an orange based red that's really bright and cheerful (even when I'm not!). </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Another great lipstick launch is the <b>Mary Kay<i> Gel Semi-Matte Lipsticks</i></b>.* Firstly, the packaging of these are beautiful. The packaging is much more high end than their other lipsticks. They remind me of Rouge D'Armani lipsticks. Because they're not quite matte, they never feel dry on your lips. I've also been using the <b>Mary Kay<i> Lip Liners</i></b>* both with and without the lipsticks. Some days I just like to use the lip liners underneath a balm for long lasting, effortless colour. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Recently I went for a facial* at the <b>Jurlique Burnside</b> store. One of the great things about the facial is being able to try the products on your face to see if you like it. They had just released their <b><i>Activating Water Essence</i></b>, so I was really excited to be able to trial it in my facial. Essences are an important step in K Beauty and they're slowly trickling into western brands ranges. An essence is a hybrid of a toner and serum and is great for adding hydration and a glow to your skin. It's been love at first use and I know once I finish this I'll be buying another bottle. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Another trend that's getting bigger and bigger are cleansing oils. Most of the one's I've tried are $30+ but lately more drugstore brands are releasing them. The <b>Simple </b><b style="font-style: italic;">Kind To Skin Hydrating Cleansing Oil </b>is a lightweight cleanser that's also free from mineral oil. It only has 8 ingredients and is something I'd recommend to someone who's new to oil cleansers. It's also only $10!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><i>Jade Rollers</i></b> have been on my radar for a while, but I recently bought one from <b>Dusk By Adele</b> when I also ordered a cleansing oil from the site. I apply an oil (any type of oil is fine but I prefer chia seed, macadamia or rosehip oil) and use the jade roller to push the oil deeper into the skin. This one has two ends, one larger and one smaller, which helps me to use it all over my face and chest. You can read more about the benefits of Jade rollers <a href="https://duskbyadele.com/products/jade-roller"><span style="color: magenta;">here</span></a>.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br />I received the <b>Essano <i>Argan Oil Of Morocco Duo Pack</i></b> in the latest box of "The Parcel" (reviewed <a href="http://www.bottledbeauty.com/2016/09/reviewed-parcel-spring-edition-2016.html"><span style="color: magenta;">here</span></a>) and I've been so impressed. I've been using salon quality brands for the last few years and wasn't expecting much since Essano is a supermarket/drugstore brand but I was so impressed. It's left my hair feeling nourished, soft and hydrated. I'm going to pick up full size bottles for myself and my daughters to use in my next supermarket shop. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Another product that was in The Parcel was the </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Narciso Rodriguez<i> For Her Eau De Toilette</i></b>. It's a beautiful musky scent. If you love the MOR Marshmallow scent, then you'll love this. I want to get the full size version soon!</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I've been using my </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.845px;"><b>Irresistible Me <i>Ruby 2 Way Auto Rotating Curler</i></b>* </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">(not pictured as I had just used it and it was cooling down) </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">a LOT this month. I'm adoring rocking a center part with 70s boho loose curls and this curler is perfect for achieving that look. While the wand rotates itself, I also sometimes do use this without the auto feature. I love this so much that I took it on holiday with me last month.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> I've previously reviewed it <a href="http://www.bottledbeauty.com/2016/07/3-minutes-curls-with-irresistible-me.html"><span style="color: magenta;">here</span></a>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">On Instagram I've featured the <b>Grow Gorgeous</b> 10 Minute Stimulating Scalp Masque quite a lot but I've also fallen in love with the <b><i>Overnight To Gorgeous Hair Masque</i></b>.* When I use this, my hair feels so soft and silky. I love that I can use this before going to sleep and then skip my hair mask in the morning. It's great to use when I need to wash my hair but also want to sleep in!! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This month I have a disappointing product. <b>The Real Techniques<i> Brush Cleansing Palette</i></b> is something that a lot of bloggers rave about, but I prefer my brush cleansing glove. I find that when I use the RT palette, water gets stuck in the palette unless i angle it so it's completely upright.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And those are the products that I'm loving and reaching for lately. What products do you adore?</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Today the latest box from The Parcel arrived at my door. If you don't know, The Parcel is a seasonal box. I actually prefer this over a box that comes every month because I find that monthly boxes seem to repeat a lot of brands and products. A box that comes every 2nd or 3rd month gives the brand enough time to source newer and more interesting products.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">My first impressions was "This box is really heavy!!!" when I picked it up from my porch. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">When I opened the box, there was a lot of products in there and luckily only one sachet!! I find that monthly boxes always have so many sachets and it doesn't really give you enough product to see any results.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">One of the first products to jump out at me was the <b>Essano<i> Argan Oil Of Morocco Duo Pack</i></b>. It has a travel sized (50ml each) shampoo and conditioner. I'm currently using their toning mist (which I love) and was very excited to see this in the box.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Another exciting product was the <b>MOR<i> Mon Amie Adele Luminous Body Milk</i></b>. I adore MOR products and this one has such a beautiful scent. If you love their Marshmallow scent, then you'll also love this. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">There was a deluxe sample of the <b><i>Sunsense Sensitive Invisible SPF 50+</i></b> sunscreen. I currently use a Mecca sunscreen, so I'm excited to see how this compares as it's a quarter of the price!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">There's also a sachet of <b>The Body Shop<i> Himalayan Charcoal Purifying Glow Mask</i></b>. While I don't always have too much luck with purifying masks due to my skin not being oily, I'm excited to try this out because I haven't tried a Body Shop mask in forever. The new range of their masks really interests me, especially the honey mask.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Included is a very cute travel sized <b><i>Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse Multi Purpose Dry Oil</i></b>. I already have a full size, so this will be a cute one for travelling. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Inside the box was also a lovely deluxe sample of the <b>Narciso Rodriguez<i> For Her Eau De Toilette</i></b>. This is a lovely soft scent that would have been perfect for winter as it's a very cozy scent. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">To get you ready for the warmer weather they also included a <b>St Tropez<i> Self Tan Classic Bronzing Mouse</i></b> and <b><i>Applicator Mitt</i></b>. I think it was so great to include a mitt as it's such an essential tool to use when you're fake tanning. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">To help you get the best tan they also included a <b>C-LAB & CO<i> Coffee & Coconut Scrub</i></b>. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Next up is the <b>Maybelline <i>The Nudes Palette</i></b>. Sadly I bought this when it was first released so I'll be passing this onto my mum. While it's not the best quality, I really like the colours. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">And finally there was a deluxe sample of the <b>Nude By Nature <i>Natural Mineral Cover</i></b>. This is in the colour "medium" which is wayyyyy to dark for me. I really like NBN, but sadly their colours don't run pale enough for me. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So as you can see, the box is fulled with some great products. Sadly this box disappointed me as half of the box I won't use. I already have the Maybelline palette, the NBN sample is too dark, I don't tan so I'll pass it on to someone who does and I hate coffee scrubs because they're so messy!!! But I really love the other products. I feel like this box would be great for someone who doesn't normally get subscription boxes. It has some great brands and good products but it just doesn't have a wow factor for me. I sort of feel like they just put left over products in that have been in a million other subscription boxes. I would have loved to see a new Maybelline product instead of something that's been out for a year or more. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Did you get this box? Do you feel the same way as me?</span><br />
