September 2019 Empties & Giveaway!...

At the risk of boring you, yep - two Empties posts in the same month! Thank goodness I was able to fit this second one in well before the end of October. I'm in a life phase where I just can't seem to manage more than one upload per week, but the wonderful feedback I receive from you folks on these mini product reviews is so encouraging, I no longer have any guilt about the frequency of my writing. Mind you, in this particular article there are so many regulars, it hasn't taken all that long to put it all together, which means I'm already working on the next one lol ♥...

Body

Glow Lab Coconut & Sandalwood Body Wash (400ml, RRP $9)

I'm crushing on this brand big time - these body washes are beautifully scented, and they give my bod a good dose of Betaine, Pro-Vitamin B5, Vitamin E & Argan Oil. Nicely hydrating, this and the Blackberry & Bay one make my shower experience even more pleasurable. The sandalwood fragrance is more pronounced than the coconut, but that suits me just fine. Not tested on animals, no sulphates, no parabens and available from Woolworths ♥♥♥...

Repurchase?

Absolutely ♥♥♥...

Regulars

Grahams Herbal Mineral Deodorant Roll-on (65ml, RRP $8.95)

Oral-B 3D White Luxe Glamorous White Toothpaste (96g, RRP $9.49)

Reach Dentotape (20m, RRP $2.99)

SheaMoisture Raw Shea Butter Hydrating Body Wash (384ml, RRP $24.95)

Thankyou Botanical Lemon Myrtle & Goat's Milk Body Wash - (500ml, $7.99)

White Glo Charcoal Deep Stain Remover Whitening Mouthwash (500ml, RRP $6.99)

Face

Ecopure Bath Bamboo Fibre Face Cloths (pack of 2, RRP $12.99)

This pack finally appeared on the Priceline website, which is rapidly becoming the only way I shop with them - the local store so rarely has what I want in stock so I don't even bother going in any more, and they even admitted they don't sell any face washer other than the Halo. But I digress - these are my numero uno face cloths, so soft and gentle on my skin, yet they take all the gooped-up cleanser off, and with it all my trowelled-on makeup. They rinse out in seconds, the size is just right and they dry in a few hours ♥♥♥...

Repurchase?

Always ♥♥♥...

L'Oreal Micellar Water - Normal/Combination Skin (400ml, RRP $14.95)

I enjoyed using this and it worked brilliantly as my second cleanser - plenty of slip so the cotton pad didn't drag or break up, and removed whatever skerricks of gunk I'd missed with my cleanser, mainly around the hairline. It's been on my shelf for over a year, along with a few others remaining from my Micellar investigations. A wee bit more expensive, but they do claim that the water they use is 95% purified, so I guess that adds a premium ♥♥♥...

Repurchase?

Maybe - my fave is still the Biore Charcoal one, I just adore the scent of it ♥♥♥...

MAC Prep + Prime Skin (30ml, RRP $50)

What a treat to find a sample tube of this in last year's Myer Little Box of Beauty (fingers crossed they have another one this year). I've never been into MAC products - have tried and loved a few, but not this one, which gets raved about to this very day. And yes, it's a lovely primer, but is it any better than my DB Pore Minimising Primer that costs $15? Not for me - doesn't extend the life of my makeup any further, and the finish wasn't anywhere near as spectacular as I'd hoped. It's a beaut product, but I honestly can't see what all the gushing is about ♥...

Repurchase?

Naaah, I'll stick with my usual ♥...

Nutrimetics Ultra Care+ Platinum Tight Firm & Fill Eye Serum (10ml, RRP $66)

I'm a bit on the fence with this one. The matching face serum is UNBELIEVABLY effective however at $100+, it's a little out of my league. But I picked up this eye serum on special and was hoping for the same level of improvement to my old eyes, but it didn't quite happen. Being of advanced years, perhaps I need to use several tubes to see more obvious results. Sure it hydrates and firms, and has an interesting triple rollerball applicator that massages the serum into the skin, but I reckon the Olay Eyes delivers more noticeable improvements ♥...

Repurchase?

I think not ♥...

Trilogy Rosapene Radiance Serum (30ml, RRP $42.95)

I scored two bottles of this divine smelling serum back in the good old days when the Priceline Pink Diamond Quarterly Rewards included full-sized products, and you could choose which ones you wanted. I've not tried much from the Trilogy range but I'm quite impressed with this serum. Exceptionally hydrating, it absorbs well and really does give my skin a healthy-looking glow from within (pardon the advertising lingo), plus it had quite an obvious refining effect on the texture of my complexion - a truly lovely serum ♥♥♥...

Repurchase?

I would say yes, except that I've fallen love with the L'Occitane Immortelle Reset Serum that I treated myself to with my tax refund, I doubt I can keep buying it though as it's quite pricey, so the Rosapene will be a great alternative ♥♥♥...

Regulars

Neutrogena Oil-Free Eye Make-up Remover (112ml, RRP $10.89) 

Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Anti-Ageing Moisturiser with Accelerated Retinol SA & SPF 15 (29ml, RRP $39.99)

Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Eye Cream (14ml, RRP $34.99)
Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Regenerating Cream with Accelerated Retinol SA (48g, RRP $48.99) 

Olay Regenerist Miracle Boost Youth Pre-Essence (40ml, RRP $39.99) 

Swisspers Make-up Pads (Pack of 80, RRP $3.79)

Face Masks

Skin Republic Wild Purifying Charcoal + Green Tea Panda Face Mask Sheet (RRP $7.99)

Darn it, I've not been making the time every week for my regular Selfcare Sunday sheet mask treat for months now, but I did manage a couple in September. This one was strictly for fun - it's quite impractical as the ears are soaked in serum and they stuck to my hair so it was a bit on the messy side. Nicely hydrated skin afterwards, but it didn't fit my face properly, and it's all a bit too gimmicky for me ♥...

Repurchase?

No - the Garnier one below is more effective, and a lot less trouble ♥...

Regulars

Garnier SkinActive Pure Charcoal Tissue Mask with Black Algae (RRP $4.99)

Skin Physics Instant Lift V-Shape Vitality Mask (RRP $14.99)

Skin Republic Retinol Hydrogel Under Eye Patch (3 pairs, RRP $9.99)

Fragrance

Ecoya Apricot & Tonka Bean Reed Diffuser LE (200ml, RRP $37.46)

Oh oh oh. You know that feeling when you find THE product that is precisely what you're looking for and meets, even exceeds your performance expectations? Well, this Ecoya Reed Diffuser is THE ONE for moi. Mind you it is a Limited Edition, so I've just bought three of them from DJ's so I can continue to experience the bliss that is this room fragrancer for many months to come. It's the most beautiful fruity fresh but also soft and cosy apricot, papaya and mango scent with an undercurrent of tonka bean. It calms me every time I walk into the room and take a long slow breath. I've tried SO MANY reed diffusers over the years, but nothing beats the way this particular one permeates the entire room without overwhelming it. Absolute perfection! ♥♥♥♥...

Repurchase?

Ridiculous question! ♥♥♥♥...

Hair

Provoke Touch of Silver Toning Treatment Mask (200ml, RRP $12.95)
This works well to neutralise brassiness, and it does add ashy tones when left on for 10 minutes or so. It also conditions nicely, but like a lot of these drugstore products for blondes, the smell is pretty bad. I used it up to not throw it away, but the Goldwell Color Revive is far superior, and the one I will be using going forward ♥...
Repurchase?
Negative ♥...

Salon Professional Supplies Pro-Colour - Violet Toner (100ml, RRP $14.95)
Ok so I mentioned in my last Empties post that I'd changed my home hair colouring process, and this product is a key element in the strategy. I decided to go grey and stop using permanent colourants the last time I had my Kerasilk treatment in September - a side effect of the treatment is that a whole lot of (home) dye is removed during the process without damaging the hair follicle. So there I was, a very pale slightly strawberry blonde and I thought the hell with trying to cover up white roots every two weeks, plus my brain must be so loaded with chemicals that have seeped in through my scalp over the years ha ha. AND, you can't buy permanent grey hair colour in stores - you can only have it done at a salon. So I decided to get rid of as much of the leftover gold as possible (ultimately getting back to my natural white), and then only use semi-permanents, like the Live Colour ones below.  This Violet Toner is simply the best - I had to apply it a few times mixed with 30 Vol peroxide, but my hair has been pretty much neutralised now, so I should only have to use it sparingly going forward, if at all, and paired with the weakest peroxide solution ♥♥♥...
Repurchase?
Yes, I have a tube squirrelled away for when the yellow returns ♥♥♥...

Schwarzkopf Live Colour Pastels - Cool Grey & Metallic - Lilac Chrome (RRP $5.49)
My new hair colourants! The Cool Grey has a slightly greenish tinge when applied over hair with even a tinge of gold, so I've been balancing it out with the Lilac Chrome. I mix the two together in a bowl and leave it on for 45 minutes - the result is a gorgeously intense gunmetal grey that fades to an equally gorgeous steel grey after a few weeks. The beauty of this new system is that even though my roots are white, they blend in far more naturally with the grey. I'm as happy as a clam ♥♥♥...
Repurchase?
I have about 10 packs of each under the bathroom sink, all purchased on special ♥♥♥...

Regulars

Goldwell Kerasilk Control Conditioner (250ml, RRP $34.95)
Schwarzkopf OSIS+ Sparkler Shine Spray (300ml, RRP $27.95)

REVIEW: MAC Bold & Bad Lash Mascara - Glosscar Winner!...

Another of the gems that came my way at the recent Beautyheaven Glosscar Awards Marketplace Member Event. This MAC Bold & Bad Lash Mascara is a stunner in all departments - from the outrageously fabulous packaging to the two lash-lushing formulas in the dual-brush compartments...

Oh how gorgeous it is from the get-go! The main fat silver tube is covered in embossed graffiti made of a velour material - so funky, and to touch it is to love it lol ♥ There are two tubes with two different brushes and two different types of mascara. Unscrewing the black section reveals a solid stem with a generous and tapered brush - the product is the blackest black and designed to lengthen and bulk up the top lashes. I didn't find it did much for my length, but it coats effortlessly and sure makes my spindly lashes stand out without any hint of clumping - the brush separates the lashes brilliantly...

Under the red cap is a teeny weeny wand - honestly, the smallest and finest mascara brush I've ever seen, and it coats every lower lash you possess, even the invisible ones you didn't know you had ♥ The formula is different in that it is smudgeproof (bonus!) and for someone who blinks constantly, I'm very happy to report that it passed the kats under-eye-smudge-smear-flake test with flying colours...

I apply two coats from the red on the lower lashes and one coat of the black on the top. I then curl the top lashes and apply another coat of the black, and finish with a topcoat of smudgeproof - all set for the day, and yet it comes off with micellar water...

It's no wonder that it has, in fact, won a beautyheaven Glosscar Award 2018 for the best new mascara!

Thanks beautyheaven, and congratulations to MAC on this innovative mascara in a way WAY over-saturated market - a bold breath of fresh air! RRP is $42 - double what I usually spend, but if it's ever on special, I'm in ♥...

Take care of you,

Beautyheaven Glosscar Awards Marketplace Member Event...

Yesterday I had the absolute pleasure of attending one of the Beautyheaven Glosscar Awards Marketplace Member Event sessions at bh headquarters in the Sydney CBD ♥ The Beautyheaven Glosscar Awards are an annual affair, and members can vote for their favourite beauty products released in the previous 12 months. This Marketplace Event was a fabulous opportunity to learn about and experience some of the amazing products nominated this year, from MAC, Estee Lauder, Bobbi Brown, Beauty by Nicholas, L'Occitane, Essano & Proactiv ♥...

Image courtesy of beautyheaven.com

While we were only there for an hour, we were provided with some delicious refreshments, and there was time to take in everything on display, as well as catch up with some long-time member friends and the bh Team of lovelies. After missing out on a pic with the gorgeous Debbie Black from beautyheaven at the 10th Birthday Party Event last October, I made sure to hijack her this time around - she's a total doll! ♥...

There were seven beauty stations to visit, manned either by bh staff or sponsor representatives, and we were able to sample the products, ask questions, and were generously gifted with items from every stand. I've been a fan of the Beauty by Nicholas brand ever since discovering them at the previous bh event I attended last year and chose the only product from their range that I hadn't tried before - Omega Hydroxy Night Rejuvenation ♥...

I left it too late to take a photo of the Bobbi Brown stand before it was swamped (lol!), but all 20 colours of their Crushed Lip Colour lipsticks were on display and available to swatch, and you can imagine all us girls went to town on that opportunity! ♥... 

I chose the shade Watermelon, a stunning red with lots of pink, or is it pink with lots of red? Either way the formula is a wonder combination of long-lasting pigments and a matte finish that's comfortable to wear ♥...

At the Essano station, we learned about their Rosehip Clarifying Clay Masque, which I tried last night and it's brilliant! Delectable rose fragrance, the prettiest soft pink colour, and it left my skin glowing and deeply cleansed. Also gifted was their Clear Complexion Detoxifying Serum, which I also included in my Saturday night beauty routine, and will continue to use to help control my oily-T zone ♥...

The Estee Lauder experts were on hand to colour match us with their new Double Wear Nude Water Fresh Makeup which includes SPF 25. They used one of those nifty electronic gadgets that they hold against areas of the face and neck in order to find the perfect match. We were gifted with a full-sized bottle of this delightful foundation, and my match was Ivory Beige 3N1, which I'll be road-testing tomorrow ♥...

Our lovely L'Occitane rep treated us to samples of the latest moisturisers, and we were so kindly gifted with their miraculous Shea Butter Intensive Hand Balm, and a bottle of Terre De Lumiere EDP. I'll be reviewing this separately, but let's just say that it's a crisp and spicy, sensual gourmand floral masterpiece! ♥...

Here's bh's stunning and ever so friendly Steph at the MAC stand, where we were introduced to the Bold & Bad Lash mascara. Of course, I'll be doing an in-depth review in the weeks ahead, but if the contents are as magnificent as the packaging, I'll be happy as a clam! The spectacular silver, red and black tube has two brushes, one each for top and bottom, and the bottom lash formula is smudge-proof - we shall see! ♥...

I've not tried any Proactiv products before - their speciality is troubled skin, and I only experience maybe one blemish in a year, but I am regularly dealing with blackheads on my nose, so I was delighted to have the opportunity to try their Blackhead Dissolving Gel. It's designed to shrink pores as well - my hooter has already had a treatment, and I'll report back to you soon. Incidentally, it smells divine ♥...

How beaut it was to play catch up with some of the other bh members, so many of whom are fellow beauty bloggers, like these two babes - Leah from Temporary Princess, and Marisa from Marisa Robinson Makeup Artist ♥♥♥...

And here's what was in my loot bag - I feel totally spoiled and so chuffed to have received so many delish products to try ♥...

 

If you're not already a beautyheaven member, I can assure you the rewards are amazing, and if you join now and vote, you can be in the running for one of 10 prize packs valued at around $1,000. I've been lucky enough to win two of these mammoth prize boxes in my 9 years as a member so I won't be entering the comp, but I WILL be voting for my fave products before the closing date of this Thursday 29th March...

Huge thankyous to the beautyheaven team (& sponsors) for this fun experience - you guys always put on the best show! ♥...

Take care of you,

Beautyheaven Turns 10!...

My favourite beauty website, beautyheaven, is 10 years old this year, and I was blessed with an invitation to their birthday celebration at The Ivy Sunroom in Sydney yesterday. What a wonderful time was had by all - seriously, my face was aching from smiling so much lol!  And by the time I got home, my arms were aching from the weight of all the fabulous beauty products they and their sponsors so kindly gifted to us. This will be a long, loving and picture-heavy post, so grab a cuppa and let's get started ♥...

The venue was perfect - located in the heart of Sydney, beautifully appointed, delicious and innovative catering, helpful and efficient staff, couldn't wish for anything better. It was champagne on arrival, which was 10am, but I didn't let the early hour stop me from getting into instant party mode. We were ushered into the media room for a welcome speech by several of the bh staffers (and MD) and viewed a delightful video that captured the essence and evolution of beautyheaven over the years. I don't know the numbers but I'd say at least 100 guests, and the space around the atrium was set up with a huge refreshment bar (most important!), and 8 beauty "stations" manned by sponsors & their staff. We had been given wristbands when we arrived that included a random group number, and after finding our fellow "groupies" we were joined by a bh staffer and guided to each of the product stations in a sequence, sort of a moving beauty feast. My group was led by the stunningly gorgeous Bree Macgugan (pictured below left) - what a wonderfully warm and vivacious lady she is, thanks for the love Bree! ♥...

Also pictured above are Vanessa Rossini & the MD Michelle Blancato - what I wouldn't give to have a boss of her calibre, a truly lovely lady with an amazing energy field around her, and a genuine passion for what she does. These three beautiful women were actually having their official photo taken, but it was an opportunity too good for this pushy blogger to miss, and I thank you all for being so gracious considering we'd only just met! ♥ I was also super happy to meet and chat with darling Debbie Black, but in all the excitement, forgot to grab her for a snap! ♥...

Of course catching up with the other bh staffers and members was a MASSIVE part of the day, and the most common sound you could hear at any point in time was "Oh my gosh, you're ...!!!" as we finally put a real face to the avatar, and in some cases matched them up to an Instagram handle. Was delighted to meet the effervescent mum-to-be Ying (aka Ellyloves) below ♥...

My group's first station was Beauty by Nicholas - had not heard of this brand before, but if their products live up to their claims, I reckon you'll be reading all about them on my blog going forward. This is a range of serious skincare for folks who are serious about results (count me in!), and they don't test on animals ♥....

The presentation was super impressive and we were able to choose our shade of Foundation No More, a multi-purpose cream that does everything, and that I think is going to become a staple in my kit. Will review ASAP, along with their Eye Alchemy (goody bag inclusion) which I can't WAIT to try out ♥...

Next stop was the Fun Factory/We-Vibe Fun Room - a long table loaded with all sorts of strange looking devices for personal pleasure seekers! I won't go into too much detail here, but we were able to ask questions about their purpose and the best way to use them, and received some very interesting answers lol. It was all a bit of a giggle, but the products themselves are beautifully made, that bold pink one top right reminded me of a Smurf!...

And here are the contents of our Svakom goody bag...

We moved onto the Nutrimetics station, and learned about several of their amazing skincare ranges - Ultra Care Platinum (untried so far) & their classic Nutrich-Rich (know and love!) ♥...

I was excited to see this brand at the party as I used their products decades ago, and have only recently joined up again as a home buyer, so to receive all the fabulous lotions and potions below for free was a bonus I wasn't expecting - so generous! Plus they included their latest release - Lip Polish, which is certainly going to get a work out on my pucker ♥...

Another gorgeous face I was super happy to see was Laura (aka thelifeoflaura) - this beauty came all the way from Canberra for the event. Now that's what I call a megawatt smile! ♥...

We then had about 45 minutes of consuming the most stunningly presented munchies, followed by coffee or tea, after which we headed to the MAC station. While we were waiting for the previous group to finish, I leapt at the opportunity to capture the gorgeous gal Lily aka LilyNotLouise. We were able to select any colour from their Retro Matte Liquid Lipcolour range, and have it expertly applied by one of the consultants - I had to decline as I'm still recovering from a cold sore that reared its ugly head a few days ago, but thoroughly enjoyed seeing the lips of the other lovelies transformed with this wondrous formula. We each received one in the bh goody bag (pic further down) ♥...

Station #5 on my circuit was Clinique, and a colour match of their new Even Better Glow Foundation. Being such a dull day, the lighting wasn't the best for such an endeavour, but my lovely consultant used her phone light to try and get the best match - for me it was Stone, which is a warm neutral...

And in the bh goody bag I found this gifted beauty, Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm - woo hoo and thank you! ♥...

Next stop was Estée Lauder, and a colour matching session of their Double Wear Foundation. With my cool base and warm freckles, I'm a bit of a challenge to match, but they have this amazing gadget which they hold against various areas of the face & neck, and it recommends the best match. Mine was Pale Almond, but because it is somewhat paler than I'm used to, the consultant also gave me a sample of  Desert Beige, which is similar to what I've worn before. At the same time we were handed one of the new Advanced Night Repair Concentrated Recovery Powerfoil Masks - you know my love of sheet masks, so you can imagine that I was blissing out! And then in the bh bag, I found a sample of their Advance Night Repair Synchronized Complex II - talk about spoilt ♥...

The next station was Plunketts - they have a new treatment called Working Hands which I reckon will be appearing in numerous empties posts going forward. It had an instantly softening effect on my hand, and absorbed in a few seconds - that's my kind of hand cream! Chuffed to find a full-size tube in the bh goody bag, and during the presentation, we were given the Pure Vitamin E Oil and Collagen Lift Moisturiser. I'm so looking forward to trying all of these ♥...

Last stop on our beauty journey was Justice - the hair care range from Just Cuts salons, and they also have a web store. The Smooth & Groom product was demonstrated on a brave volunteer from the group - it's a hair moisturiser that doesn't create any weight or greasy feel, and can be applied several times per day. Sounds like something my bleached tresses are in dire need of. We were gifted with a bag containing the samples below, and because it was the last session of the day, we also received one of various full size products, mine was the Argan Oil ♥...

After all these station hops, we moved into the media room again for the presentation of some awards for the bh members who have been the most active participators in the site - heaps of congrats to Shop A Everyday, misfortunate8, Yohanna & iluvspring. These four gals received bags containing over $1000 worth of products! The presentation was followed by the cutting of the bh cake, and then we were offered one more glass of champagne and a yummo cup cake ♥...

What a glorious day ♥ So after saying farewell to my bh mates, and a whole bunch of new found friends, I staggered home with bags and bags of loot. Below is everything else that was in the bh swag that I haven't already covered above...

Batiste Dry Shampoo and Hairspray, Lady Jayne Swirly Pins & a folding contraption from We-Vibe (I think it's a massager) 

Fabulous collection of Barry M products in a cute little cosmetic case - the lipstick is shade #167...

Elle Magazine...

Vonblu Lipstick (Riva) and MAC lipcolour (Dance With Me)...

Nads Ultimate Brow Shaping Kit, Nair Wax Strips, and 1000 Hour Lash & Brow Dye...

Manicare Eyeliner brush, Pearl Drops Charcoal Toothpaste, Ecotools Color Correcting Mini Blenders, Nature's Way Beauty Collagen Gummies, & Skinny Superfood Detox Greens & Berries...

Rosehip Plus Roll-On Rosehip Oil, SkinB5 Skin Purifying Mask, Natura Siberica Oblepikha Hand Cream, Bondi Sands Coconut Coffee Body Scrub (Bubblegum), Swisse Rosehip Facial Moisturiser, Swisse Manuka Honey Detoxifying Facial Mask, and Swisse Deep Sea Hydrating Mist Toner

The warmth and friendliness between every one of the bh staff and their guests was palpable, and a joy to be a part of - it felt like home ♥ It was actually a beautyheaven competition 4 years ago (Blogstar) that got me started on my little blogging adventure, and I credit them with igniting my passion for all things beauty-related. Truly I knew so little about skincare or makeup (let alone how to apply it) before I joined 9 years ago, and the combination of site information, opportunities to trial products way beyond my budget PLUS the loving feedback from the ultra-supportive Forum members, launched me on a path that I'm following to this very day, and will continue until my hands shake too much to apply my eyeliner in a straight line lol ♥...

Thank you beautyheaven for the opportunity to participate in this awesome event, many happy returns to you all, and congratulations on providing a beauty home-away-from-home for the last 10 years. In my book you are the best-in-beauty business the industry has to offer - long may you shine ♥...

Take care of you,
