Hello Beauty-ful People!
So here in Australia, there seems to be a craze for the Frank Coffee Body Scrub. Personally I don't usually get into the crazes but this one has taken me in. I saw all over Instagram stuff about this Frank Scrub and thought to myself, why not try this.
I got it in the mail a few days later and got in the shower and as Frank would say "got dirty". I personally hate the smell of Coffee but I thought if it does what it's meant to then the smell will be worth it. I have only used it a few times (I'm a bit lazy sometimes oops haha) but even after the first time I used it I was in love. I came out of the shower and my skin felt absolutely amazing, and thank god the smell goes after it's washed off. Now it's a fairly messy activity as obviously it's coffee coloured so it goes a bit everywhere and you do look like you've rolled around in dirt but it works so who cares I say!. So it comes in a 200g pack but a little goes a long way so it'll last a fair while. The original Scrub has Coffee, Sweet Almond and orange but they've just bought a new one out which has Coconut & Grapeseed which is the one I'm going to buy next time because hopefully it doesn't smell so much like coffee. On the packet it states that it targets Cellulite, Stretch Marks, Psoriasis, Varicose Veins, Eczema, Acne. It also says " I’ll smooth your lumps and bumps with brown sugar & sea salt, moisturise and tone your skin with cold pressed sweet almond oil, and use vitamins & minerals to work wonders from the outside in. Then i’ll make us both smell good with a little orange essence". So personally, I don't have most of those problems but during the winter I do get small patches of Psoriasis and do have a bit of Stretch Marks from losing a lot of weight from battling health issues the last few years. I haven't used it enough to realise any difference in the small amount of Stretch Marks I have but I can't say I pay much attention to them anyways, so I probably wouldn't realise any difference unless they were completely gone.
It's fairly inexpensive, the original Packet is $14.95 and the new Coconut & Grapeseed is $17.95 with Free shipping to Australia, $4.50 shipping to New Zealand, $6.45 to U.S, Canada, Europe, UK, Asia, Middle East & Africa. (All in AUD). Check it out here http://frankbody.com/collections/all.
I would highly recommend this product, it's inexpensive but actually makes your skin feel absolutely amazing. As previously mentioned, the only thing I would change is the coffee smell but I know a lot of people love the smell of coffee and that's why I will try out the new one next time in hopes it isn't so strong.
Hope you're having a Beauty-ful Day/Night.

Hello Beauty-ful People!
I'm going to be doing a review on the Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs in Medium Glow. So if I go out in the sun I get tanned very easily, I haven't had much of a chance to go out and get my natural tan back so I've had to find ways to get a natural glow if I'm looking a bit pale. I love a good spray tan but for those times when you don't have time and need something to put on last minute this is an awesome product.
I'm always cautious with these type of products because some leave you with a bunch of streaks or you looking orange for a few days, which is definitely not cute. So my friends had a dinner for Halloween and we all dressed up for it and my outfit as a Pilot had a thigh slit so I thought it would be the perfect time to test this product out. Let me just say I am really impressed. All you have to do is spray the product on your legs, or the desired area and then rub it in and then you have tanned legs. Just a tip though, do it in the shower or in your bath as the back spray goes everywhere and I mistakenly did it in my room so my tiles turned a brown, but luckily it's easy to come off but it can be avoided and also wash your hands with soap after you've applied it. It comes in 4 colours, Light Glow, Medium Glow, Tan Glow & Deep Glow. I chose the medium because I didn't want it to look fake and like half of my body is really tan and the other half is pale. They have also just released a cream product, also in 4 shades which I will probably try out after this bottle is finished to see if that's better.
Another thing I was concerned about is the fact it's a wash off product, I thought if I sat on a couch or something light that I would stain it, especially because I need to sit down a lot because my health isn't the best. Although, I didn't sit on anything light it seemed to stay on really well and I had no tan marks anywhere. The thing I hate about Spray tans is that once it starts to come off you have to scrub off like 10 layers of skin so you don't look all splotchy and with this, you just go have a shower and it's all gone.
I would highly recommend this product. It isn't exactly cheap here in Australia, you can get it at all Chemists and even some super markets for about $25 but a lot of Chemists have specials that run them for half price (that's when I got mine, so it came down to $12 or something) or they do 2 bottles for 1 so it makes it more beneficial. As usual, I'm sure it's a lot cheaper in America though. I've attached a photo of my legs that night so you can see that it looks really natural and even.
Hope you have a Beauty-ful Day/Night.

Hello Beauty-ful people!
I hope you all had a safe and wonderful New Years Eve last night and brought in the New Year in true style!.
I have a huge list of blog posts to do, which I plan to do today while I chill out in bed and watch a SVU Marathon haha.
First up is a review on the Vidal Sassoon Big Hair Soft Curls Curling wand. As you may all know now, I love me some nice Victoria Secret Curls.
So first off, it's very easy to use and there's no tong on it so it doesn't leave a kink or anything. When you first do it the waves are really subtle and pretty, I'll attach pictures of my hair after it's first been all done (excuse the no makeup lol). The thing I didn't particularly like is that it doesn't hold for very long. It drops a fair bit but still retains a bit of a wave so it doesn't look like plain straight hair. I haven't tried it out on other hair types so it may last longer on other hair types. I wouldn't suggest it for people that struggle with curling wands working on their hair.
Overall, I do love the waves it does give and at least it doesn't drop completely after a few hours but I wish the waves did last longer, especially after using the Vidal Sassoon Magic Curl wand, it lasts forever.
It's fairly inexpensive, you can buy it here in Australia for around $40.00. I'm sure it'll be cheaper in the States. Check it out here - http://www.vssassoon.com.au/products/stylers/VS2306A.aspx.
As usual, if you have any suggestions on what I should review let me know :).
Have a Beauty-ful Day/Night.
