Free Exfoliation Gloves to Subscribers - 2 pairs to be won

Do you exfoliate your body or just your face....or neither???  I have always worked my face but often neglect my body.  Which is a little sad because when you take a good look at yourself you realise that your overall body does show and that when your skin is not in good condition it can really impact how good you look.

We - well most of us spend time on dressing and doing our hair and makeup and not thinking about the rest of the skin we expose..so my thoughts this past few weeks shifted to looking at my arms and legs and boobs for skin tone.  While it is not all bad news I did feel it was time to focus a little on these areas.

So I tried out these little gloves - not expensive and easy to use in the shower or the bath and I have to say I was pleased with the overall results.  Dry areas are now gone and the skin feels smoother..when I apply body lotion it sinks in quickly and my skin feel moisturised where as before I had to pile it on to feel moisturised I only need a small amount now, because the dead skin is not soaking it all up.

I want to give away 2 pairs of these gloves to subscribers of the blog so if you want a pair - subscribe to the blog - doing the same on our face book page.  2 lucky subscribers will get a pair free.

Jurlique Anti-Aging Skincare Review Part 2

You might recall I won a load of Jurlique products recently?  I reviewed the Day Cream last week and that has been brilliant and I am still using it and loving the impacts it is having on my skin. 

My skin is firmer and I do feel that the lines around my eyes are minimised..which is all good news.

 

If you would like to find out more about the range then click the link

 

Today I will let you know about my views of the Night Lotion - this is an unusual product range in my view as normally you get a day lotion and a night cream..this range has a Night Lotion and a Day cream. 

The Night lotion is very light on the skin and it sinks in very quickly which is all great.  It does not feel heavy at all like some other night time products so at first I was a little concerned that it might not give me enough moisture overnight?  I am pleased to say that my skin feel really nice in the morning and it looks good too. 

I am very pleased so far with the range of products so if you are looking for some skincare for the mature age group this is a definite keeper!

Would I pay $69.00 for it - yes, does it do what it is supposed to do - yes it does in my view. 

 

The eye cream and the face serum reviews are still to come...so sign up for those.

 Here is what the manufacturer has to say about the product.

Magical Tinted BB Cream Review by Guest Blogger Aryanny

Earlier this week we posted our Guest Blogger Aryanny Zaini's review of a brand of BB Tinted Moisturiser. 

This is the second review conducted by Aryanny for Makeupnet on the new brand of Tinted Moisturiser called Magical - this comes in 3 shades.

We want to say a very big thank you to Aryanny again for her honest review of these products!

Magical BB Cream SPF30+ (40ml) - RRP$9.99

What "Magical BB Cream" says:
  *  Extract of five grains, soothes sensitive skin and smoothen the texture.
  *  Super multi BB cream functions as a primer, foundation and powder. It visibly reduces imperfections, smoothes skin and prevents makeup from smudging.
*  A "water-in-silicon" type, this cream based product glides on without irritating skin. It's non-oily formula, fresh on skin all day long.
  *  Protects the skin from harmful UV rays.

This is what Aryanny had to say about the brand:

As it didn't come with a box or even any information of the product on the tube itself, I had to Google and after half an hour, found some information as described above. They only have a list of ingredients on the tube.
This comes in a 40ml squeezy tube. Currently this range has three different shades and the one I'm reviewing is shade "3".

This reminds me a lot like a tinted moisturiser. It is really creamy and light. It is also easy to apply and blends beautifully. Minimal effort to get decent coverage. It does have a slight scent to it. It's hard to describe, but smells a bit "cosmetic" like. This is of course not noticeable when worn.  It surprisingly has good coverage, it even covered my dark circles.

Lasting power on this, is excellent. It did not rub off or smudged itself at all. With the warmer tone in this shade, it left no chalkiness or grey tones on me whatsoever. It is just a little pink on my warm skintone, but nothing a little bronzer could not fix.

As from the product description, this is definitely a no-fuss cream. Sometimes I'm hesitant in using a product when it lists too many uses and benefits, like they're trying to "convince" you to buy it. I have tried to use this as a primer too and it worked beautifully. Made my makeup stay put all day and kept it fresh & long lasting. Having said that, I have dry skin, so I can't vouch for people with oily or combination skin.

Overall conclusion: I highly recommend this product as your first BB cream. It really is easy to use, feels light and natural on the skin. It even worked excellently with my warm skin tone, so I am confident there's a shade to suit everyone.

Would I purchase this? Yes, most definitely. Even for $9.99, I can not fault this product at all as it delivered everything it said and more. 

This brand is on sale at www.makeupnet.com.au in the On Sale Shop at $9.99 a tube.

Jurlique Anti Aging Skincare Review

This week I started using the Jurlique Purley Age-Defying Skincare range on a regular basis. 

You might recall I won a set of the Jurlique Age Defying Skincare which I was extremely grateful for from one of my favorite blogs.

The product that really interested me was the one that offers to Firm & Lift as we all want that right?  I can say that when I apply the cream to my face it feels really nice, it smells nice too.

As the cream starts to skin into the skin you can actually feel it start to firm up and tighten the skin, its not an unnatural feel it actually feels very nice.

I have used it for a few days now and think that my skin looks very healthy and the lines on my face are looking finer.  Jurlique tell you that after 6 weeks of use that I will feel my skin is much firmer.  So I will keep using this and the other products I received and let you all know if this is the case.

The price for the Purely Age-Defying Ultra Firm and Lift Cream is $90.00.  I will want to see results for a product that costs $90.00.

This is the product below - it looks nice also - which is something that usually attracts us all to a brand?  Yes or No?  Does packaging influence your buying?

If you want to try this brand click here it will take you to the Jurlqiue web site where you can read more or buy it. 

Cheers Jill - my next review will be of the Day time Lotion..so far so good.

Rebirth Skincare -exicting and very inexpensive!

I love good  skincare and love to try new products such as the Rebirth range of skincare that contains placenta ingredients...sounds a little yucky but I can assure you it is not.  The eye gel has no perfume at all.

I received my Anti-Wrinkle eye gel the other day and rushed to the bathroom to take my makeup off and give it a try.

It was a clear gel and felt very cooling to the skin and when I put it on the skin I could feel the skin start to tighten up a little - so far I am very impressed!  I have used it now for over a week and think that the skin around my eyes looks really good.  The pot is small, but at under $10.00 I think it is great value, given it feels so good and the results are good.

We are definitely going to be stocking this range within week, so watch the web site and give it a try, you will not be sorry you tried it.

Here is a little more detail on the brand -

Re-birth original series is the most popular placenta cream in Australia. Back in 1993, it is created by a group of old friends gathering for a school reunion. The group was shocked at how much they had all aged with lines and wrinkles. The shock prompted the group to discuss how they could challenge the aging process and recapture their youthful skin look. With the aid of experts, the group discovered the anti-aging property Placenta. With the unique formulation of the balanced proportion between placenta in oil and water base, rebirth placenta cream is effective in combating wrinkles, fine lines as well as softens the skin like a baby skin.

Have you tried any ranges of skincare that have Placenta as an ingredient?  What was your impression?
