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!

Tried and Tested : Elemis Absolute Eye Serum and Skin Buff

There are skin care brands and then there ARE SKIN CARE BRANDS. I am only newly acquainted with Elemis the UK based luxury skin care brand which has been newly welcomed to our shores. It has been hyped girled by loads of UK youtubers and I have been curious to try it out for myself. So first up the Elemis Skin Buff, it is a very very finely granulated exfoliator, the grains feel very small but are ultra exfoliating. The creme surrounding the granules is rich a creamy which gives the grains a slip to them when you are massaging it into your face. After rinsing off the scrub your skin feels fresh but not striped of natural oils, I am obsessed with this exfoliating scrub and love it for any dry patches or just reviving tired skin.

Secondly I have been trying out the Elemis Absolute Eye Serum, under my eye cream at night and under my moisturiser during the day. Oh my goodness this is liquid gold on tired eyes! It tightens the eye area and makes you look and feel wide awake without gathering in any lines and making your concealer look too heavy under the eyes.

The price points of Elemis are on the high end, it is a luxury skin care brand and its not in everyone's budget but if you are in the market to treat yourself or a loved one then this Elemis is a heavenly brand to try.
