My new Face Savior - SHE Aromatherapy Anti-Ageing Rosehip Oil

Hello Beauty-ful people!

So as I'm getting a bit older, I'm becoming more and more conscious about my skin and ageing. They say skin dehydration is the number one thing that ages the skin and as I have dry skin and Psoriasis I am trying to do as much as I can now so that my skin ages gracefully. I have a lot of health issues and am on some really hardcore medications so I try and put good food and things in my body but unfortunately some things I cannot control so I don't want my health or medications to make my skin bad either as they are making everything inside not so good, I don't want it to go on the outside. My skin is quite sensitive, I have a blood disorder so some days I wake up and the blood vessels in my face all burst so I have to be careful of that and as previously mentioned I have Psoriasis - although it is a very mild case it primarily happens on my face. In Winter my whole forehead looked like it was shedding so I had to go extra on my skin routine to try and help it but of course do it sensitively so it didn't aggravate the skin. I am very lucky and apart from the Psoriasis my skin looks very good. Generally when I go out I don't put makeup on apart from occasionally putting a bit of powder on and when I go out to dinner or to somewhere photos are going to be taken I don't use Foundation, I use BB Cream in hopes it doesn't clog and make my skin worse but still gives me a bit of coverage just to even the skin out so I look half decent.

So over the last year I have been trying to find the best product that Moisturisers my skin nicely, that is still sensitive but doesn't make my skin react or Oily. Everything I have tried have been nice but until I found this product nothing had really worked the way I hoped it had. 

I heard that serums or oils were the best way to make your skin not dehydrated so I started looking at what types of serums were the best. I read a few articles on Rosehip Oil being a very good Anti-Ageing product,and is natural so it's better for the skin but also leaves your skin really moisturised but doesn't oil up the skin, which was always my concern when using an oil and also leaves your skin looking Radiant, which I have always wanted so that I could go Makeup Free more often without looking sick. 
I found a brand called "SHE Aromatherapy" and they make an Anti-Ageing Organic Cold Pressed Rosehip Oil. So I googled to see the reviews and the reviews I read said that it didn't leave the skin oily, left the skin radiant and was a beautiful moisturiser. So I went to my local Priceline Chemist and purchased the SHE Aromatherapy, Anti-Ageing Cold Pressed Rosehip Oil in a 15ml Bottle (the only size they had). I have been using this product for about 2 months now and I don't see me changing it any time soon. You use only a pea size on your hand and then rub it in all over your face and down the neck a bit - remember when you're putting products on your neck/jaw always go in an upward motion, if you put it on in a downward motion it promotes your skin sagging and we all don't want that!. I always make sure I really rub it in so it absorbs really nicely and has the most effect. It may sound like the bottle is very small but luckily a little goes a really long way. I tend to put it on just before I go to bed at night, it says to put it on morning and night but most days I find it moisturises enough for the 24 hours, if my skin is extra dry I do put it on in the morning though. 
My skin has never felt so good!. I literally want to rub my skin all the time because it's so amazingly soft. I do feel like it gives me a pretty good glow and gives a nice base to put Makeup on over the top as it doesn't go powdery or dry but I don't generally put Makeup on top of it straight away as I feel it's kind of a waste lol I let it absorb for a bit first so it does it's job. It seems to be helping my Psoriasis as well as I haven't had the blotchy dry patches come up pretty much at all since I've started using it, remember I have a Mild case of Psoriasis so if you have a bad case don't use this as a repair, if your Doctor has given you medicated cream use that in the inflamed areas or in conjunction with it. It's Organic so they shouldn't react with your skin, but like everything if you have very sensitive skin always patch test.

It says on the package " Packed with essential fatty acids, vitamins and antioxidants, Rosehip Oil is known for it's unique ability to nourish and restore balance to all skin types. SHE's organic cold pressed Rosehip Oil enhanced with Vitamin E is a great natural care moisturiser that is easily absorbed by the skin leaving no oily residue. Highly effective for use on scars, blemishes, stretch marks and other skin concerns such as sun damaged and ageing skin. Skin is soothed, softened and hydrated glowing with natural health". 

I purchased this from Priceline for approx $18.00. They had a buy one get one free promotion going on at the time so I took advantage and got 2 of them. Compared to a lot of other Serums and Oils I personally think it's quite reasonable. When I first saw the bottle I was a bit taken a back as it's such a small bottle but after using it such a little amount covers the whole face it lasts a while and as I love what the product does I think it's worth it. 

I have attached a few photos of what my skin looked like before I started this product - as you can see it's very flaky from being very dry and the Psoriasis and the other 2 photos were taken 2 days ago, there was nothing on my skin as I had a shower about half an hour before this. My skin now looks so much better and apart from the red mark in between my eyebrows (was an itchy bite) my skin looks nice and radiant and no dry spots.

I would highly recommend this product. It works beautifully and leaves the skin feeling and looking amazing. If you have oily skin, don't fret as I recommended this product to a good friend who has oily skin and she absolutely loves this as well.

Comparison - Palmer's Cocoa Butter Natural Bronze & Vaseline Cocoa Glow Spray Moisturisers.

Good Morning/Night Beauty-ful people! 

So I previously wrote a blog on the Vaseline Intensive Care Cocoa Glow Spray Moisturiser and did say that I loved this product, especially the efficiency of it and the smell. Blog here - http://www.beautywithbelinda.blogspot.com.au/2014/05/review-vaseline-intensive-care-spray.html.

Since writing that blog, I have purchased a new, similar product which is Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula with Vitamin E, Natural Bronze Gradual Tanning Moisturiser. Well it took me a while to start using this product as I've been very lazy as of late with my moisturising routine but had to tell you all about it. 

Although, both of these products are great, I decided to do a comparison on them so you can see the pros and cons on both of them as they're such similar products. 

After the first time I used the Palmer's Cocoa Butter Moisturiser I was literally blown away!. The Vaseline Spray sprays out very blotchy, can be quite messy,  goes onto the skin quite wet and doesn't disperse the product completely evenly. The Palmer's Spray is so fine and sprays on so nicely and evenly and it doesn't go anywhere but the area that you're spraying, which I absolutely love and it doesn't go on as wet as the Vaseline product, it's obviously a tiny bit wet as it's a spray but within a few seconds it's completely dry. Now, with the Bronzing part of both products. The Vaseline Spray I honestly couldn't tell much of a difference apart from a bit of a shine, with the Palmer's Spray after the first use, where I put the product was nice and tanned and it was so even and nice - it looked very natural (although I did look a bit funny as the first few times I used it on just my legs so my legs were nice and tanned and the rest of me was white haha). Now to the smell. The Vaseline Spray smells soooooo yummy you just want to eat yourself up lol. The Palmer's Spray smells really delicious as well, the only down fall is afterwards you can kind of smell a tan smell which I don't particularly like but when it's such a bronzing product that is to be expected but it doesn't last long (just don't spray it then immediately go into a confined space lol). Both of them are very similar with the moisturising factor, they both leave your skin nice and soft. Price Comparisons, they are quite similar. Palmer's Spray is approximately $8.00 and Vaseline Spray is approximately $10.00, so they're very close in price. 

The other benefits of the Palmer's Spray is that it's Paraben Free and Phthalate Free for those health conscious and/or Pregnant. To use both are pretty much the same, you just click the top of nozzles to make it open and then hold the bottles approximately 10cm away from the area you want to spray it on and then spray, then of course rub it in. As the Palmer's has more tan in it, you have to be more aware that you're putting it every where but it disperses so much easily and evenly that it's pretty easy to get an even coverage.  

Both of the Brands have other scents and moisturising types that are available so you can check them out here - 

Palmer's - http://www.palmersaustralia.com/products/all/. 

Vaseline - http://www.vaseline.us/product/category/intensive-care.html (US Site)

Now it's completely up to you what you prefer in your moisturising products, that's why I have done a comparison as both of them are very good and I would recommend both but they both have pros and cons but for my personal use I prefer the Palmer's Spray as I'm a bit lazy - as it's a bit easier to use and finer and sprays more evenly and I don't go in the sun a lot lately so the tan is nice without having to go through the process of Spray Tanning. Overall if I had to choose between traditional Moisturiser and Spray on Moisturiser, I use the Spray on as it's a lot easier - as mentioned earlier I am lazy haha and I always feel like my skin takes a long time to dry properly with traditional moisturiser and the Spray absorbs so nicely I can literally get dressed a few seconds after and it doesn't feel like moisturiser would be going everywhere. Also, that feeling you get when you have moisturiser on and it's a hot day and later you sweat, you feel very oily because of the moisturiser, Spray on absorbs so nicely it doesn't get that feeling (well personally) and seeing as I live in a very humid state I really appreciate that. 

Hope you are all having a Beauty-ful Day/Night and are enjoying your weekend!

Review: Vaseline Intensive Care Spray Moisturiser.

Hello Hello Beauty-ful People! 

Today, I'll be talking about a new product I bought a few weeks ago and have instantly fallen in love. 

The Vaseline Intensive Care Spray Moisturiser is a new Moisturiser that's on the market and is made to make things easier and that you can spray on, rub in and get your clothes on and get on your way. 

When I first saw the product, I was a bit concerned because generally these types of products are very greasy and don't feel very good on your skin and you definitely cannot put clothes on straight away. Thankfully, it's not greasy or oily at all!. You just put the can bout 10cms away from your skin and spray. It goes on to your skin a bit wet but you rub it in for a few seconds and you're good to go. 

I chose to buy the "Cocoa Glow" one (there are 3 types available). Let me tell you the main thing I love about it. It smells AMAZING!. You spray it on and a minute later you're doing what you're doing and you almost want to eat your skin off haha. The other thing I really like about this product is, when you spray it on and rub it in it feels very light. I find with normal moisturiser it can feel very thick and heavy. I usually associate the thick and heavy feeling to it working a lot better but I am actually quite impressed with how moisturising this product is and how well it actually works. Even the first time I used it, I used it at night and I woke up the next day and my skin felt awesome. 

I haven't realised the "Cocoa Glow" yet but I can't say I've really paid a lot of attention to that seeing as it's getting colder and I'm wearing a lot more clothes these days. I have realised a bit of a shine after I put it on though. 

I would highly recommend this product. I purchased it for $8.00 from Priceline but it usually goes for $10.00 at Woolies or any store that sells general Beauty Products. I love the smell and the ease of use with the product and how light and moisturising it is. Just a tip though, don't do it on or near sheets that are satin or silk products. Last night I put it on in my bed and the overflow spray got on my sheets but didn't stain at all but on Silk or Satin products it could stain like water can. 

Check it out and the other types here http://www.vaseline.us/product/category/intensive-care.html (US Site). 

Hope you're all having a Beauty-ful Day/Night.

My Current Hair Care Routine! Making damaged hair disappear!

Hello Lovelies! 

So today, I thought I'd discuss what my Current Hair Care Routine is. So as previously mentioned in my past blogs, I regretfully had my hair Chemically Straightened last year and it absolutely ruined my hair. I didn't have really healthy hair to begin with as I had the Balayage style in my hair for a few years and in the process of trying to find an amazing Hair Dresser, I went to a few not so good ones and they didn't help my hair at all. A few months before I got my Hair Chemically Straightened I finally found an amazing Hair Stylist and she finally got my Hair into good shape and then I stupidly did the Chemical Straightening. 

Ever since I did the Chemically Straightening my hair has been so brittle and dry at the ends and I ended up having to cut off about 15cms off of my Hair to try and get it healthier, as well as going back to Brown until recently. For the last year I've been trying to find products that will make my hair feel and look amazing and I've finally found products that do exactly that. 

** Please note, these products may not work for everyone I'm just telling you all my experiences and what has worked for my hair.**

I've got extremely THICK hair and on top of that I have a lot of it and also very frizzy, curly hair (hence why I wasted time and money on that Chemical Straightening.) The main reason I went to get the Chemical Straightening was, when I wash my hair I literally have to block out about 4 hours to wash it, blow dry it and then straighten it and that gets very old, very quick but without straightening my Hair looks like a frizzy Afro and I'd like to say I could, but I cannot rock that look haha. I wanted to give my Hair a break from all of that heat and damaging - especially as I had the bleached ends so that obviously adds to the damage and lets just face it, I'm lazy and that's a lot of effort to put in to simply make my Hair look nice. 

So I start off by obviously washing my hair. I use the Edward Beale Argan Oil Blonde Shampoo & Conditioner. I came across the plain Argan Oil one a few months ago before I went back to Balayage and I found that after the first wash I really saw a difference in my hair. It works really well on my hair and when I added the Blonde I picked up the Blonde version to keep my Hair from going brassy. Although I haven't realized that it helps my blonde yet as I've only recently had my hair done but so far there is no brassiness so fingers crossed that continues. It comes out in a light purple shade which I have no problem with as I have used purple shampoo' before. The only thing I don't like about this product is the Blonde version doesn't smell all that great. The plain version has a nice, subtle smell to it but the blonde version almost has a menthol smell to it but when I smell my hair after it's washed I can't really smell anything and the treatments I use add a little bit of a nice smell. The awesome thing about this product is it's very well priced. I bought mine from Priceline and got them for $8.00 each which is pretty hard to come by affordable Shampoo & Conditioners that have Argan oil in them and also takes away Brassiness. Check them out here http://www.priceline.com.au/hair/hair-care/shampoo-and-conditioner/argan-oil-blonde-conditioner-500.0-ml. 

After I wash my hair I wrap it up in a towel and let it towel dry for about half an hour. I then take out my hair from the towel and comb it. Once a week I then put the Macadamia Oil Natural Hair Deep Repair Masque (I previously did a blog on this AMAZING stuff check that out here - http://www.beautywithbelinda.blogspot.com.au/2014/02/my-new-must-have-macadamia-natural-oil.html). It's absolutely amazing and I am so glad I came across this as it's been a godsend for my hair. I put the masque through my hair and then comb it through. Leaving the masque on for about 10 minutes (I leave it on longer sometimes when my hair feels extra dry) then you wash it out. Check it - http://www.macadamiahair.com/products/detail/deep_repair_masque. 

Once again, I let my hair towel dry for half an hour and comb through it again. I then put the De Lorenzo Instant Restructurant Protein Spray. Seeing as my hair is so damaged and my ends were so bad I could literally get a piece of hair and snap it in half I've been trying to find some products that make my hair extra strong. My Mum has very thin hair and she was told to use this product a long time ago and she mentioned to me that I should try it out as it'll repair my split ends and in turn would need a hair cut less. Another thing I really like about this product is they're 100% Australian made and owned, they DO NOT test on animals and have no animal ingredients and all the ingredients are biodegradable. Let me tell you she was right, all of these products have made my hair the healthiest it has been in a long time (I have attached a picture of my ends now). I don't have a picture of what my ends looked like before because let's face it, it would've been embarrassing showing off how fried and damaged they were. Check out the Protein Spray at http://www.hairhousewarehouse.com.au/hair-care/de-lorenzo-instant-rejuvenate-restructurant-leave-in-treatment-spray-200ml.aspx and this can be purchased there for $29.50 in a 200ml spray bottle which lasts a long time. 

After all of the treatments I either let my hair dry naturally and then straighten it or blow dry it and then straighten it. Always remember if you're putting any heat on your hair to use a Heat Protector. I use Schwarzkopf Extra Care Ultimate Keratin Blow Dry Energizer which I love and works really well, I also love the Tresemme one as well, which you can buy both at any supermarket or Chemist for under $10. I have realized ever since using the Edward Beale Shampoo & Conditioner my hair dries a lot tamer and is less frizzy, which is always a bonus. There's even been a few times where I haven't needed to straighten my hair - which is a miracle I tell ya!. It doesn't say that it should do that, it's just something I have realized. I also have been using recently the Vidal Sassoon Big Hair Styler which is a Blow Dryer brush and Blow dry in one and I was actually really impressed with that, so a blog will be coming up very soon on that. 

Gosh I am exhausted even typing my routine let alone doing it haha. 

I hope this has helped some of you and if you have any suggestions or tips that you'd like me to try out then please leave a comment! 

Hope you're all having a Beauty-ful Day/Night!

My New Must Have! Macadamia Natural Oil Deep Repair Masque!

Good Morning/Evening Beauty-Ful People! 

Tonight, I'm going to be talking about my New Favorite Hair Treatment.

Macadamia Natural Oil - Deep Repair Masque.  

So, as I have previously mentioned last year around June I made the stupid mistake of getting my hair Chemically Straightened after being misinformed and believing the hairdressers that told me it would be safe to do so on blonde hair and that was far from the truth. So ever since my hair has been very dry and my ends were so brittle that most of the time I can literally snap them at the ends. I've been using so many different treatments to get it healthy again and thankfully I've finally gotten there. Shortly after the Chemically Straightening I went back to Brunette so it would hopefully assist in making it healthy, it did but I had been missing my Balayage ever since I changed it but didn't want to add bleach to my hair while it wasn't very healthy. I have just gone back to Balayage with a little bit of a twist but obviously because bleach isn't the best for your hair, I want to maintain doing anything I can to keep my hair healthy. I was in a Hairdressers/Hair Supplies store last week and I saw a little sachet of this Macadamia Natural Oil Deep Repair Masque and I had asked the Stylist if it was any good (I was familiar with the brand as I have the Luxurious Oil Spray and have used it for about a year now and love it), the Stylist said it was absolutely amazing so I thought instead of forking out $40 I'd buy the little sample size to see if it is good. I bought the sample for $7.95 and the next day I had washed my hair so put it in afterwards. 

It says on the container that the Deep Repair Masque is a hair reconstructor that will penetrate and rebuild damaged hair for improved health, shine and elasticity. That it's great for colour treated and course hair. So you're told to wash your hair as normal and then comb through the mask and leave for approx 7 minutes and then rinse. I cannot tell you enough how much I fell in love with this product. Combing through the mask my hair felt absolutely amazing and as I was rinsing it out my hair still felt ridiculously smooth. Later on that night after I let my hair air dry I then straightened my hair (I can't get a proper indication unless I've straightened my hair as it's so frizzy and afro like). My hair looked and felt so bloody shiny and soft it's insane. So I'm lucky and get about 3-4 days without washing my hair so I've attached photos of my hair and these were 3 days after I had done the mask and it still looked amazing. It honestly smells exactly like Conditioner, there's no distinct fragrance to it but it smells nice with a bit of floral but not over powering at all. 

So as I mentioned earlier, you can buy a little sample for $7.95 from stores like Price Attack here in Australia, I went to the shops the following day and purchased the 250ml container which cost me $39.95. I have since found out I could've purchased it off EBay for $28.95 with free shipping (not impressed haha) and online you can also get a 500ml container and a 1 Litre Container but I didn't see these at Price Attack.The initial cost is quite expensive but I'd say the 250ml container would last quite a while and as I'm only using it once a week at the moment and eventually maybe once a Month, as I've experienced amazing results the money is 100% worth it (considering I went out the next day and bought it, I obviously do haha). If you're not 100% sure about spending that type of money on it, I'd suggest doing what I did and pay the $7.95 for the Sample (I only used half of the sample and I have long, very thick hair) that way you can get an idea if you think the cost is worth it. You can also buy them from their website and HairHouse Warehouse probably sells them as well. 

Another thing I absolutely love about this product is it clearly states that they're Cruelty Free, Paraben Free and Alcohol Free. So you know that no animals were harmed in the making of it and there are no nasty chemicals that are going to do damage to your hair. It does state on the container that it's not to be used more than twice a week. They have a bunch of other amazing products that I have no doubt that I'll try out in the near future, so keep an eye out for those reviews.

My Favourite Dry Shampoo!

Hello Beauty-Ful People!

So around my Birthday last year I did a very stupid thing. I have natural very curly, frizzy hair and I wanted to give it a break from blow drying and straightening so decided as my Birthday present I'd get my hair permanently straightened. My sister has frizzier and curlier hair than me and she has had it done a few times from a certain salon in our local area, along with a friend of hers and they could only say amazing things and I have seen how amazing my sister's hair looked after so I bit the bullet and got it done and gosh do I regret it!. For some reason it just didn't work for my hair AT ALL and absolutely killed my hair. Another beautiful (not) thing that has happened from it is my hair gets very oily, very quickly. I have never had to wash my hair every day or every second day, I could get maybe 4 days sometimes before it started looking oily and ever since I had this horrible treatments done the day after I wash my hair it gets oily up at the roots but looks fine every where else so trying to avoid washing, blow drying and straightening my long, very thick hair every other day I have had to search for a good Dry Shampoo that just gets rid of the oil at my roots so I can get an extra day (or two if I'm lucky) out of my wash.

I have tried a bunch over the past 6 months and without a doubt this is by far my favourite. It's called Batiste Dry Shampoo and I get it in the "Floral & Flirty Blush". They have a bunch of other styled Bottles but personally they all are same to me. It's very easy to use, you just spray it into the roots about 20cms from the scalp and wherever it's required. I leave it on for a few minutes and then brush it out. As most Dry Shampoos are white it can leave your hair looking a bit grey but I just get the tips of my fingers and put them wherever it's a bit grey and move them back and forth a few times and that seems to work and then my roots are clean and they match the rest of my hair. 

Obviously, I wouldn't use this product every day for a week to avoid washing my hair - although the thought has crossed my mind a few times haha. It only helps if your hair is a bit oily around the roots or a certain area. It's pretty inexpensive, I purchased it at my local Chemist for a huge bottle (400ml) for $14.00. You can get smaller bottles for about $7.00 I believe but I thought for the huge bottle (I have only seen the bigger bottles at certain chemists but the smaller bottles are sold everywhere you can buy hair products) I might as well get it and it has lasted forever and I still have a lot left. As I usually recommend, take a good look at your local Brochures and try and find it while it's on special. I have tried out a bunch of other Dry Shampoos but none of the other brands seem to leave the hair looking so nice and clean and the others make you feel like there's a bunch of product in your hair or will only last an hour, when this works for me for the whole day.

I have found a DIY recipe for Dry Shampoo for dark haired girls (it's mainly to avoid the grey marks screw around). I'm going to try that out soon and if it works, I'll do a blog about that seeing as you could probably use things that are in the cupboard and would be cheaper. I will also be doing a big blog post on a bunch of DIY Beauty recipes, for those beauty lovers that want to have some pamper time but cannot afford it or want to make sure there are no hidden chemicals or nasties in their beauty products.

Hope you're all having a Beauty-Ful Day/Night.

My Favourite Lipsticks right now!

Hello Beauty-ful People!.

Tonight, I'm going to talk about my favourite Lipsticks right now. So as I have previously said in other blogs, I really am not a fan of lipsticks. I hate the dry feeling they usually feel and they just never seem to feel good or look good on me. I have been on the search for some lippies so that if I felt like or needed lipstick I could wear them without feeling uncomfortable.

The first one is by MAC and it's a Cremesheen in "Pure Zen". It's the most perfect light pink nude colour. I like balms/glosses/lipsticks to look natural if you're not purposely going for a Red lip or something full on. It's so smooth and nice to put on and doesn't dry out my lips at all and just makes them look so Plump, soft and natural. It doesn't cake on or look like you're wearing concealer which I love, because you have to be careful with Light Pink/Nude colours these days as it can look like you're just wearing concealer and personally, I think that looks horrible. They have a whole bunch of colours in the Cremesheen range. I just find the Cremesheen range to be a lot more hydrating and look a lot more natural on your lips. You can buy it here in Australia at any MAC store or online at http://www.maccosmetics.com.au/product/shaded/168/310/Products/Lips/Lipstick/Lipstick/index.tmpl
for $36.00 and of course it's a bunch cheaper in the States for $15.00, Check it here - http://www.maccosmetics.com/product/shaded/168/310/Products/Lips/Lipstick/Lipstick/index.tmpl.

Secondly is Revlon Colour Burst Lip Butter in "005 Sugar Frosting". Once again this is a nude/pink colour. There has been a whole lot of hype with these Lip Butters and I totally see why. The whole point is to feel like it's just a lip balm but actually has pigment so people like me that hate lipsticks get everything from both worlds, which I definitely love!. It literally feels so light and comfortable and once again doesn't cake on or look flakey. There are 20 amazing shades to choose from, they have everything from Bright Pinks to Bright Purples to natural colours like this which I think is great that there's such a variety. Ok, so like everything they're a fair bit more costly here in Australia than the States but here you can purchase them from anywhere from $18.00-$22.00 depending on the Store. You can get them from most Chemists and Stores like Target or Big W. I would suggest looking at your local brochures and keeping an eye out when they're on special just to save you a little money, but I definitely think it's worth the money but as usual they'd probably be under $10.00 in America if that (why do they do this to us Aussies? argh!). You can check out the colour range etc here http://products.revlon.com.au/lips/fashion-shades#.

So obviously I highly recommend both and have them both in my bag everyday so my lips can feel hydrated but have a nice colour to them but I can change it up a bit between the two of them.

Hope you're all having an Beauty-Ful Day/Night.
