Jurlique's new Nutri-Define range raises the bar in natural luxe skin care.

Jurlique's Nutri-Define Multi-Correcting Day Cream $120.00 and Nutri-Define Superior Retexturising Facial Serum $145.00 available from www.jurlique.com.au

Jurlique is a brand which I know and trust to deliver amazing natural products that contain the créme de la créme of natural ingredients which my skin loves. The new Nutri-Define range is very luxe and on the higher price end for Jurlique because of the type of high potency ingredients that the products contain.

So what is in the Nutri-Define range that makes it so superior?
The range contains BIOSOME5..... Say what babe? Well to put it simply, a product can only work so well on the surface of your skin and to make it work on a deeper level you need an ingredient called a Liposome which acts as a helping hand to make your skin drink up all the skin building ingredients. In most skin care Liposome's are a chemical ingredient which are synthetic and too harsh for your skin, so Jurlique has developed a natural Liposome called BIOSOME5.

Other beautiful natural ingredients found in Nutri-Define:
Cochlearia Armorcia ( Horseradish) grown in the Adelaide Hills with powerful antioxidanct properties, Morus Bombycis Root Extract (Mulberry Root) to brighten skin tone, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Also grown in the Adelaide hills helps skin rejuvinate, Mentha Piperita Extract (Peppermint extract) to improve skin texture and Glycogen for skin firming benefits.

My personal experience when trialling the Nutri-Define range?
I started using the facial serum and daily moisturiser together about 3 weeks ago, my skin has been suffering from the winter blues, dry in patches and also lacking any kind of glow. After a few days I noticed that my skin was feeling plumper, and definitely more hydrated. The first place it was most obviously hydrated was my forehead which at the ripe age of 30 fine lines are appearing (yuck!). It is also where I can tell if my skin is dehydrated because makeup wont apply smoothly it has oily outbursts. The price point of the products is quite high and not in everybodys budgets but if you can afford to splurge on skin care then the Nutri-Define range is absolutely an amazing way to do so. I am going to be very sad when I come the end of these gorgeous little luxe pots of skin care gold.

Beauté Gazette LOVES Mary Kay's new True Dimension Lipsticks

Mary Kay True Dimension Lipsticks $29.00 each available from www.marykay.com.au

The new True Dimension Lipsticks from Mary Kay have totally blown me away and for a lipstick to wow a beauty blogger it must be really something special because as you can imagine I am swimming in all kinds of shades, colours and formula's of lipstick!
Firstly the packaging is extremely satisfying, you push the top in and pull the lipstick out from the bottom so there is no way that this can go rouge at the bottom of your handbag and cause any damage.
The formula is sheer, buildable and very moisturising and gives a sheen to the lips without being glossy - LOVE THAT. 
The two orange based colours 'Citrus Flirt' and 'Tangerine Pop' are similar but different enough that I love both. 'Citrus Flirt' is a day time totally neutral office appropriate orange where as 'Tangerine Pop' is a bright pop of colour and looks great with a smokey when on a night out.
'Sassy Fuchia' is a bright blue based pink which is totally up my street, it is a pink lipstick lovers must have! 'Berry a la Mode' is a true plum which has been filling my need for a 90's dark purple lip this winter.
Mary Kay is no longer the direct selling brand of yesteryear, you can totally click to buy on their sassy website! These lipsticks are totally bomb and I am crushing out pretty hard on every colour, and I hope that the colours are expanded so I can add more to my collection.

Aveda's Shampure Composition Calming Oil.....Filling my stressed out week with pure zen!

Aveda  Shampure Composition Aromatic Oil $49.00 available from www.aveda.com.au

Ok I am going to get pretty real right now, because this is a blog, this is not a website or a magazine publication and no one tells me what to write or pays me to write it. One of the reasons I love products is that when something really crap happens in your life for 10mins or an hour you can feel a little better using them.
This week I was lied to, cheated on and totally screwed over by someone I had only cared and held close to my heart, my world came crashing down around me and I felt so awful that I couldn't even get out of bed. I decided after 2 days I needed to get out of bed and drag myself into a bath which I popped about 7 drops of Aveda's Shampure Composition Oil into. I put on some Led Zepplin, particularly 'That's the way' on repeat, its a great break up song. Deep breathing followed, a few tears and then a whole lot of letting go and just chilling out. Maybe it was the organic lavender from Bulgaria or the hand picked Ylang-Ylang from Madagascar? I stayed in the bath till the water turned cold inhaling the calming smells of oil, it was a great bath, one of the greatest.
Shampure can also be used as a body oil and a to do an excellent scalp massage to remove any product build up and stimulate those hair follicles for faster hair growth.
Hopefully after a few more relaxing baths and a little bit of time things will all start becoming sunny again. Sorry if this is all TMI for anyone but life and beauty blogging go hand in hand for me and personal posts are one of my favourites to write, just feel the #feels guys!

Thank you Aveda for brining the zen!
