Another fresh new idea from LUSH: the fab skincare brand has now introduced a rance of facial tints, which enable you to ‘create-your-own’  tinted moisturiser…pure genius!

There are four Colour supplements to choose from depending on your skin-tone, these consist of: dark pink, light pink, dark yellow and light yellow. All you do is use them with your daily moisuriser for a lighter alternative to foundation. This is a really nifty little product and even works well as a concealer when used straight from the pot.

 

Colour Supplements are available in LUSH stores nationwide from July, rrp: $17.95 each

LUSH Lip Scrubs are made with exfoliating sugar and are produced from entirely vegan goodness to keep your lips smooth and kissably soft. Simply rub over your lips and hey presto- sweet, silky pouts!
There are 3 delightful scrubs to choose from including:
Mint Julips (The refreshingly tingly minty lip scrub made with peppermint and chocolate)

LUSH Mint Julips Lip Scrub rrp: $9.95

Bubblegum (The candy pink, scrub which smells like the real deal- I am IN LOVE with this one)

LUSH Bubblegum Lip Scrub rrp: $9.95

Sweet Lips (The lip-smackingly tasty chocolate lip scrub with added scrumptious vanilla)

LUSH Sweet Lips Lip Scrub rrp: $9.95

No need for your regular 3pm sugar- fix when you can get it from one of these nifty little pocket-friendly pots!

Available in stores from July

It’s so nice to escape Sydney for a few days and enjoy a bit of R&R, as well as some good home cooking!

I will be spending tommorow lazing here…yaaaaaaayyy…

 

 I’ll also be testing out my current fave hair product, which i’m hoping will withstand the QLD humidity and save me from crazy hair: 

 

 KMS California Flat Out Anti-humidity Seal, rrp: $28.50, www.kmscalifornia.com

It also works great as a finishing spray and leaves your hair smelling delicious and fruity- my hairdresser swears by it!

 And, on the subject of beauty…isn’t the parentals doggy TDF?

 

Happy Easter!!

The great people at LUSH  have recently launched a new campaign to raise awareness of the plight of orangutans displaced by the expansion of palm oil plantations. Palm oil is predominantly used  in cosmetics, food and bio-fuels and 90% of the world’s palm oil exports come from the oil-palm plantations of Indonesia and Malaysia. According to the United Nations Environment Programme, it is estimated that within 15 years, 98% of the rainforests of Indonesia and Malaysia will be gone.  Not great news for this little guy…

 

 

So…good to hear that LUSH are leading the way for the cosmetics industry and are minimising the use of palm oil in their soap bases. After almost a year in the LUSH labs, they were able to develop the world’s first commercially available palm-free soap base. Palm-oil-free soaps are now available in LUSH stores across Australia, and are easily recognisable as they come stamped with approval.

Time to follow the path of clean living with soapy goodness!

*Oh and in case you were wondering…the candy coloured soap pictured above is ‘Keep it Fluffy’: a Limited Edition star soap with notes of vanilla and rose (also comes highly recommended by moi!).

I have one close to my desk or tucked in my handbag for emergency in-need-of-revival moments. Facial spritzers are ideal for cooling skin on balmy days, hydrating skin when you’re feeling a little sleepy, and are essential on long-haul flights for keeping skin hydrated. There are so many good ones to choose from, so I’ve picked out a few of my faves…
