elly b organic skincare - divine creams for your skin

I have used many of the elly b organic skincare products before and I keep coming back to them because they are divine to use and my skin responds so well to the products.

I just recieved my new order of the Creamy Coconut Cleanser and the Aromatic Hand cream which is just brilliant. 

I love the feel of the creams as well as the essentiaol oils that are used in them because they smell so good.  The hand cream is very rich so you dont need to use a lot and my hands feel so good after an application of this cream.  Read below the details for the hand cream..(ps its great on feet too)  When you use this you can close your eyes and think you are in a Day Spa because of the  perfume from the essential oils.

With Mandarin, Tangerine & Lavender essential oils this extremely nourishing cream helps to soothe & protect dry and dehydrated hands and feet. Organic Cocoa Butter and Organic Shea Butter together with specially selected Organic Plant & Nut Oils combine to provide a rich, concentrated & rejuvenating balm leaving the skin moisturised and hydrated. It has a long lasting effect on the skin.

Moisturising, soothing & protecting. Hydrates hands & feet. Divine essential oil combination.

Now to the face cleanser..................

My face cleanser is the Coconut one that I love so much, it is creamy and smells good and takes off all of my makeup with ease.  All of the ellyb cleansers do a great job of removing eye makeup so you  dont neet to buy makeup removers as well. 

If you need a new cleanser give these a try you will love the way they work and how good your skin feels and what great value they are. 

 Check out the whole rannge of Australian made Certified Organic Skincare and you will be very pleased you made the effort.  This range is truly the best range I have used in many a year..I am a big fan..

I had to share this as it is super cute if you love makeup

Gothic Vamp Makeup & Indy Brands

 

I love ‘indy’ makeup.  Its unique and creative and offers us something some of the major brands don’t..something different.  Major brands really are very much the same and when I shop the ‘indy’ brands I know I will find something exciting to bring to our customers. 

Read about Morgana and how she got started in her business making some very good quality lipsticks.

Beautiful Bold Lipsticks are a must and this one from Morgana is stunning

This is called 'Bees Knees" and is my favorite colour from the 1920's collection

Morgana Cryptoria is a woman owned small business located in Arizona.  Cryptoria is an expansion of Morgana Minerals, a company created in November 2006. 

From 2006-2008 Morgana spent time learning about ingredients, experimenting with formulas, & web design. In 2008, orders would trickle in once in awhile. By 2009, orders began to increase due to word of mouth. Mid 2009 Morgana Minerals began to get recognized by beauty blogs and started to get the exposure it really needed. 

In late 2010 Morgana opened Morgana Cryptoria & closed Morgana Minerals.

Morgana’s plan is to become less of a mineral makeup company and focus on traditional cosmetics while working on plans to expand into gothic clothing, decor, and jewellery in the future.

Morgana is mostly known for her famous handcrafted vegan lipsticks.

Do you aspire to start your own makeup range..if so we would love to hear from you and help promote your brand.

 
This brand is now avaiable in Australia from www.makeupnet.com.au Lipsticks are $13.99

Australian Brands Made in Australia - yes we still have some

I love to support other Australian based businesses and saw this article in the Australian newspaper & had to share it with you just in case you did not see it.  The link to the original article is here also. The Australian

WHILE most fashion labels now carry the obligatory "Made in China" tag, there is a small groundswell of designers using Australian manufacturers.

Three Melbourne labels, Zoe Elizabeth, Extinct and Lisa Barron, are sticking to their guns and continue to have their ranges produced in Australia.

Besides the benefits such as having better control and being able to do smaller runs, the designers say that knowing their lines aren't produced in sweatshop conditions in Asia is a big advantage. All three are also passionate about keeping jobs and creativity in Australia.

Zoe Weir, designer and creator of Zoe Elizabeth, began producing bikinis four years ago from Liberty print fabric and has ventured into daywear. 

Although the swimsuit fabric is sourced overseas, everything else from design to production is done in Victoria.

"Having my range manufactured in Melbourne allows me to have control over the quality and be there every step of the way," Weir says. "I think the Zoe Elizabeth customer likes to know that they are getting a limited edition piece that is made in Melbourne and not mass produced. I enjoy the wonderful manufacturers that I work with and feel as though they continue to help and support me every step of the way."

Start of sidebar.

Simon Foretti, owner and designer of Extinct, is proud of his support of local manufacturers.

"There's way less chance of miscommunication, because if there is a problem you go to the factory and see it direct; and it is extremely difficult to sort out problems long distance," he says.

With her label nearing its 30th year in Australia, Lisa Barron sees a swing back to local production as Chinese manufacturers increase prices.

Although unlikely to outstrip the popularity of clothes made in China and India, the demand for locally produced clothing with a low carbon footprint is on the rise.

So when you can buy Australian made or at least buy from online stores located in Australia as it does help to keep Australians working - even if they do import product like us.

This article is from the Australian Newspaper and shared with you today.  Link to the paper is at the top of the article.
