Mother's Day Gift Guide 2015

Hi everyone! Mother's day is just over a week away now so I thought I would share some of my favourite products for my mum this year! You can't go wrong with beauty products for Mother's day so let's take a look at the products!

Sanctuary Spa - White Lily & Damask Rose Body Scrub (RRP $14.99) and Green Lemon & Orange Blossom Body Wash (RRP $14.99. My love for Sanctuary spa is quite obvious, reviewing many of their products and loving every single product so much, every time. So it's no surprise that I would choose to include this brand as one of the top brands I recommend as a gift for my mum! Firstly I have to tell you how utterly and irresistibly amazing the White Lily & Damask Rose Body Scrub smells - I literally want the scent made into a perfume as it's just SO divine! Aside from the beautiful scent, it performs really well too. The scrub is very gentle but effectively smooths and softens skin. I personally love using it on my decolletage. I feel so feminine after using it! The Green Lemon & Orange Blossom Body Wash is also another favourite, having a really beautiful citrus scent that's not too overpowering. It leaves your skin feeling super hydrated and moisturised. Sanctuary Spa is available from Priceline stores nationally and online at www.sanctuaryspaaustralia.com.au


Molton Brown - Blossoming Honeysuckle & White Tea Bath & Shower Gel (RRP $39.00) and Gingerlilly Hand Cream (RRP $15.00). Molton Brown is a brand that's still quite new to me - only ever trying a candle previously but have been so impressed with the brand and it's beautiful packaging. It oozes luxury and I know my mum will love these two items. The bath gel smells insanely good and makes lots of bubbles (very important)! It has a really relaxing aroma and keeps the skin super soft. The handcream helps to restore your skin's moisture and keeps your skin soft and replenished too. These two products are a perfect combo on a dreary, rainy day! Molton Brown is available from Myer and David Jones nationally.

One product that I am an advocate for, is oil. I love oil as a step in my skincare regime because it keeps my skin moisturised and nourished like no other product. I love to use it to cleanse my skin, to moisturise my skin, and on my hair and body. I've been using facial oils for over 7 years now and I'm very confident that when i'm older, my skin will be looking just as good as my mum's (finger's crossed anyway). She has such amazing skin, hardly any fine lines or dark spots. My mum has raised me and showed me the importance of moisturising and wearing sunscreen and it's a trait I'm so thankful for. 

Physicians Formula - Ultra-Nourishing Argan Oil (RRP $25.95, available at selected Priceline stores nationally), is a beautiful, light-weight oil. It's viscosity is a little bit drier to rosehip oil so I use a few more drops than usual, but since using this my skin has been glowing. I highly recommend Argan Oil as it can be used not only on your face, but also on your hair and body.



And lastly, if you want to go all out, spoil her with a beautiful ghd V Gold Max Kit which includes a ghd paddle brush, iconic ghd style heat protect spray and two sectioning clips for RRP of $269 (the usual price of the styler alone)! This pack is the ultimate Mother's day gift - making it easy for your Mum to have a good hair day, everyday! I trialled this product on my mum's very thick, curly to the root hair and was very impressed with the results (review up in the next week or so!).



Good luck with any last minute Mother's day shopping, I hope I gave some good ideas!

Christmas Beauty Gift Guide


Hello everyone! Hope you are well. There is only 17 days until Christmas. This year has gone so quickly - it is actually quite scary how quickly time goes by nowadays! Today I am sharing with you my favourite Christmas Beauty Gifts for this year! So let's take a look!



This Limited Edition Revitalising Mask Set (RRP $49) by Dr.Hauschka is the perfect gift for someone who loves pampering theirselves with a facial or mask. It features everything needed for an at home, spa quality experience complete with a special keepsake porcelain bowl and professional quality brush that may be used with the masks for years to come. This set includes: Clarifying Steam Bath, Clarifying Clay Mask, Cream Mask, Mask Brush & Porcelain Bowl. It helps to refine and refresh the skin, leaving your skin feeling soft and amazing. Dr.Hauschka is available David Jones and Online.

Innoxa Hand & Lip Pack in the scent Rose (RRP $14.95). This cute little two set from Innoxa has a gorgeous rose scented hand cream that leaves your hands super soft, and a beautiful deep red rose creamy lipstick (which also smells of roses). This is such a good little stocking filler and so cheap too! Innoxa is available from Myer and online here.


Benefit's Goodies A Go-Go (RRP $43 from Myer) is such a cute little make up pack with products to help give you a gorgeous smokey eye look. It contains 4 beautiful shadows, an eyeshadow primer and a mini sized version of the cult favourite They're Real mascara (which happens to be my favourite mascara of all time). This pack is perfect when stuck for ideas!

Tangle Teezer Compact Styler (RRP $34.95) I bought my first tangle teezer in 2009 and have never used a regular hair brush since. I love mine so much so when I saw this super cute Compact Styler in adorable bon bon packaging I knew I had to feature it. Tangle Teezers do not snag your hair or brush out any knots super easily. This will make a great gift for my female family members! Tangle Teezer is available from selected salons nationally. Phoenix Nationale has a salon locater to find your nearest Tangle Teezer stockists.


For the man in your life who likes to take care of themselves - this is the perfect gift by Paula's Choice. It is the Paula's Choice 4 Men Complete Kit (RRP $150.00 but on special at the moment here). This comes with a face wash, shave balm, soothe & smooth balm, daytime moisturiser and night time moisturiser. It also comes with a handy travel bag valued at $30.00. This kit is suitable for all skin types and helps with anti-aging, blackheads and redness. 

So what are your Christmas beauty picks this year? I hope you liked mine! Thanks for reading as always and speak to you next time!
