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

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.

Win an Alpha60 outfit

Alpha60 told us about their latest range and then gave some of it away! You’re welcome…
There are a lot of animal references in your new collection, what was the inspiration for that?
We were really interested in the eyes of different characters in this range. We focused on the owl because of its huge eyes; there’s something really appealing about eyes, they really draw in and engage people.
You’ve become quite a fixture on the Australian fashion scene despite beginning your label as a hobby. How did you make that transition from hobby to business?
Yeah, my brother Al and I really just started off mucking around. It was more of a hobby, like you said. We started off making men’s shirts. People started asking for the clothes so we stocked them in stores and then they started asking for women’s shirts so we did that and it kind of just grew from there. It took a while before we actually realised we were building a business.
You’ve expanded into the overseas market. How have customers away from Australia reacted to your clothing?
It was really interesting because working in Australia, you’re so far away and you’re not influenced in the same way as international artists, you’re kind of just doing your own thing. Because of this, the designing is something different for people overseas which they really like, so we’ve had a positive response.
Does Australian design have a distinct look?
I wouldn’t say you can distinctly pick which garments are Australian designed but yeah, definitely they do stand out. Australian brands have a certain quirk about them, which we realised at Paris trade shows. The Australian brands just looked that little bit different for some reason.
What’s next for Alpha60?
If you asked Al, he’d say a thousand different things. We already have six stores plus stock internationally, so I guess the next step would be opening up a store overseas and more here in Australia. With that, we still want to keep the boutique feel our stores have now.

Yen and Alpha60 are giving away a new season Alpha60 outfit to kick-start your summer wardrobe. To be in the running to win the blue silk dress ($299) and silk and cotton owl top ($130) pictured above, simply like us on Facebook and send your name, postal address and dress and T-shirt size to competitions@yenmag.net. We also have 3 of these cute doll’s head key rings ($40) to give away to runners-up.
