Herbal Essences Honey, I'm Strong Shampoo and Conditioner Range Review

Today, I've had the wonderful pleasure of trying out the new Herbal Essences "Honey, I'm Strong" Shampoo and Conditioner. It is a definite keeper in my shower! Herbal Essences "Honey, I'm Strong" smells absolutely yummy of honey and apricot extracts, makes my hair stronger, silkier, and feels thicker with less hair breakage, less hair fall out~ All of this happened in just under one wash!

Herbal Essences Honey, I'm Strong is fragranced with the delicious aroma of apricot & honey extracts. It is delightful and yummy, when it engulfs your hair in a wonderful aroma! On fragrance alone, I would definitely restock this product as I am a massive fan of apricot & honey fragrances in my body & bath products collection. 

To use you only need a little dolop of shampoo for it to lather through a long way. The conditioner also feels so wonderful, like a very rich and silky thickened cream. The formula coats each hair strand to help repair the protective outer layer and provide strength against future damage. Herbal Essences Honey, I'm Strong Range formula claims to amplify the strength of your hair to be 10x stronger in just after one wash! And after just one wash, I can personally claim that my hair was thoroughly stronger. 

As you can imagine having very long hair always makes it quite cumbersome to manage my hair after a shower so I was quite interested in seeing just how the Herbal Essences Honey, I'm Strong Range would work on my tough thick challenging hair! It worked superbly.

Herbal Essences Honey, I'm Strong Shampoo & Conditioner made it easier to brush my hair when it was wet just out of the shower! There were automatically less tangles when I brushed my hair, this meant there was also less hair breakage and hair fallout then normal, even my brittle bleached hair on the bottom was made brush-able. The brushing experience was a lot quicker, enjoyable and easy for a change!

After blow drying, your hair will feel drastically thicker, silkier and stronger! Your hair will also be a little more voluminous with a very clean looking shine! This shampoo and conditioner range is great for people who have normal to dry hair and would like to maintain their hair to prevent fall out and breakage! Herbal Essences Honey, I'm Strong Shampoo & Conditioner are wonderful products, the name says it all "Honey, I'm strong!".

COVERGIRL + OLAY Pressed Powder Review

COVERGIRL + OLAY Pressed Powder in Light/Medium 340 can amazingly turn light coverage or medium coverage into full coverage whilst evening out your skin tone, it will liberally cover most spots that your regular foundation may have missed and sets your makeup. COVERGIRL + OLAY Pressed Powder will give you that photoshopped makeup look that so many people want; It is great makeup for modeling and taking photos.

You can determine whether you would prefer full coverage or medium coverage simply by how you apply the product; Use a kabuki brush or powder brush for medium coverage or use the the provided pressed powder sponge for full coverage results. I believe being able to moderate the amount you can apply is very useful especially if you have challenging skin problems like rosacea or acne. COVERGIRL + OLAY Pressed Powder may help you get more coverage using the same amount of regular product without the heavy or cakey feeling. The formula, also has built-in smooth-glide serum which allows the product to go on effortlessly. 

A very common problem and one of the disadvantages to having a pale white skin complexion is getting your skin tone to glow, look naturally bronzed and radiant. I have found that since COVERGIRL + OLAY Pressed Powder in Light/Medium 340 contains barely noticeable glitter particles, has pink undertones, and is a shade darker then my skin colour it creates that healthy glowing look I have been after for so long but have had trouble creating with pressed powder bronzers.

COVERGIRL + OLAY Pressed Powder is just like applying another layer of foundation but better. I personally would have likened COVERGIRL + OLAY Pressed Powder to Napoleon Perdis Camera Finish. And due to the massive price difference between COVERGIRL + OLAY Pressed Powder and Napoleon Perdis Camera Finish, COVERGIRL is only $16.95 to the Napoleon Perdis $65. COVERGIRL + OLAY Pressed Powder is a grand investment which saves you money at such a small price it is a definite bargain and a wonderful beauty find.

This is the photo which I used in "Get that Lipstick Shade with COVERGIRL LipPerfection Lipcolor in Spellbound Review" as you can clearly see the photoshopped look and the softening of my face compared to the natural skin texture and pale tone of my neck. My skin tone is brighter and has a natural colourful, sun-kissed glow.

Biore's Cleanser Range - 5 Cleansers!!


What I have always loved most about the Biore range is that they do what they say they'd do! It brings quiet confidence to reassure that the money you spend goes into products that you need and at the bargain prices, means you can buy a lot from their range. With the Biore range you can literary choose the ones that you need. Have one in the shower, and your favourite two cleansers on top of your bathroom sink. Well.. that's what I do. Biore cleansers have a signature scent that smells spring time fresh. To me it smells like a bouquest of fresh picked flower with a hint of sugar, which is delectably lovely.

Blemish Fighting Ice Cleanser - An Our Beauty Philosophy Favourite in the Hall of Fame!
One of my favourite cleansers of all time, Biore's Blemish Fighting Ice Cleanser rings true to its name. Best used on hot days, or when you need a refreshing zing in the morning; Simply, wash your face with this cleanser and you will feel an ice cold rejuvenating blast from the menthol.

Warming Anti-Blackhead Cleanser - An Our Beauty Philosophy Favourite in the Hall of Fame!
Another one of my favourite cleansers Biore Warming Anti-Blackhead cleanser offers that snug of warmth you need on the winter mornings when you feel to cold. When you wash your face with warm water, this will make it that much warmer! The ingredients in this beauty is quite interesting, it contains zeolite, a unique mineral clay that warms up on contact with water to target pore-clogging dirt, oil and make-up.

This is the first time I have ever heard of zeolite, so I'm quite excited that it is being used as it is such a natural substance. The formula melts away oil and dirt, unclogs pores and helps prevent new blackheads from forming. It also fights breakouts with high performance salicylic acid, yet mild enough to use daily, morning and night.

Combination Skin Balancing Cleanser
I know from personal experience just how hard it is to combat combination skin! Sometimes during the day some areas of your skin may get to oily from just being in the sun or even in areas to dry, just because it can, which is frustrating! Luckily, Biore has everybody covered and created the Combination Skin Balancing Cleanser.

Steam Activated Cleanser
A steamy clean for your skincare routine! A highly convenient cleanser to place in your shower and funnily enough, it contains some of my favourite ingredients. With an infusion of Green Tea, Aloe Vera & Mint, it turns a ho-hum shower into an invigorating sensorial experience! I love green tea for its anti-oxidant properties, aloe vera for its healing properties and mint for the extra zing! Specially formulated to harness the pore-opening power of steam from your shower to penetrate deeply into pores locking onto dirt oil & makeup then washing it away - leaving skin feeling fresh and clean all day.

MOR Lychee Flower Range - Hand Cream, Soap & Fragrant Candle Review

MOR Cosmetics is a decadent company specialising in bath and body products with a keen attention to detail, everything they make turns to gold. They definitely deserve a standing ovation for the amount of effort they put into their site and product design along with the well developed scents that are stronger and lasting then most gourmand scents out on the market today.

The MOR Cosmetic's Lychee Flower Range brightened up my day and uplifted my spirit. The black and gold symbols enthuse with extravagance, strength, royalty and wealth. With the peach coloured patterns and ribbons accentuating the packages giving it a ravishing feminine touch. When I received my package, I could smell the rich real scent of the Lychee Flower without even opening the boxes, it was an absolutely lovely moment.

Though, You May Ask, What is a Lychee Flower & Lychees?
I'll start off by saying a a Lychee Flower or Blossom, is the flower from the tree that Lychees grow. A Lychee is a tropical fruit that is very sweet, it is said to be like eating a combination of a pear and a grape. Though Lychees have their very own, unique taste, you will really have to eat a Lychee or smell the MOR Cosmetic's Lychee Flower Range to truly find out for yourself.

What Does MOR's Lychee Flower Range Smell Like?
Lychee Flower scent notes include lychee blossom, fresh berries, powdery floral notes and aromas of green wood; MOR Cosmetic's Lychee Flower Range smells abundant with the perfect mix of sweetness, lychee and floral, it smells so edible, delicious and mouth watering. The smell is decadent, romantic, rich, elegant and feminine. And it may be one of the sweetest scents available out in the beauty market today!


MOR Lychee Flower Range - Hand Cream, Soap & Fragrant Candle Review


MOR Lychee Flower Hand Cream 
At first application of MOR Lychee Flower Hand Cream , the scent is a light sweet tantalising burst of lychee flower which is deliciously rich and heavenly. MOR Lychee Hand Cream contains Shea & Cocoa Butters, Glycerin, Sesame Seed Oil, Allantoi, Irish Moss, Vitamins A and Vitamin E. All the ingredients are specifically designed for hand conditioning benefits to make your hands extra specially moisturised, hydrated and soft. MOR Lychee Flower Hand Cream is a great product to use on your hands and arms, due to its almost instant absorption and leaves your skin a silky smooth texture.

*MOR Lychee Flower Hand Cream is an Our Beauty Philosophy favourite!

MOR Lychee Flower Soap
When hot water hits the MOR Lychee Flower Soap the Lychee Flower scent extravagently rises through the air, making for a very fragrant shower or bath time that awakens the senses. The MOR Lychee Flower Soap provides many bubbles for those of us who love the refreshing feeling of a good clean lather.

The MOR Lychee Flower Soap is contains a vegetable base that is creamy triple milled with Vitamin E, Glycerin and Shea Butter. It is also made quite larger then normal sized soap. MOR Lychee Flower Soap is charmingly stamped on both side with the MOR signature logo and trademark information for authenticity and that seventeenth century art feel.

Tip: You can place scented soaps under your clean clothes for a couple of days and the scent will remain on the clothes!







MOR Lychee Flower Fragrant Candle
The MOR Lychee Flower Fragrant Candle scent is made with a lighter version of the sweet lychee flower scent, which makes for great use when you want to take a step back and relax with a calming aroma. The decadent soy wax candle looks very luxuriously expensive with gilded 24 carat gold decal and inspired seventeenth century art. The glass design is elegant, regal and charming. It's for that person who wants the best things in life as when you display the candle you are definitely splurging! The candle can burn for up to 40 hours.

The Lycher Flower scent is definitely one of a kind pertaining possibly one of the sweetest scents available on the market today. If you love this scent, it is also available as a Lychee Flower Perfume Oil.

I find the range to be very affectionate. Who ever receives this would feel very taken care of as their range helps people to unwind.

Neutrogena Acne Stress Control Power Cream Wash & Power Clean Scrub


Neutrogena Acne Stress Control Power Cream Wash & Power Clean Scrub
Neutrogena Acne Stress Control Power Cream Wash & Power Clean Scrub

Neutrogena Acne Stress Control Power Cream Wash & Power Clean Scrub

I had given Neutrogena Acne Stress Control Power Cream Wash and Neutrogena Power Clean Scrub to one of my friends for personal review for a life long problem with acne; For him and many of us, acne had been a great struggle throughout high school but even when the acne subsided, redness, outbreaks and irritation still remained. With having continuous problems of enlarged pores, pimples, redness, irritated skin, and facial blemishes, he tried out a vast range of products through out the years though not many of the product he had came across helped. 

Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Stress Control® Power-Cream Wash is perfect cleanser that creates a silky, luxuriously creamy lather that is gentle enough to use everyday leaving skin feeling instantly and remarkably extra soft. Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Stress Control® Power-Cream Wash is the creamiest cleansers available in the markets, which is what I love most about this product! It is made to clear skin of oil, dirt and makeup which will fight breakouts. The formula is also oil-free so that nothing gets added to your sensitive skin!

Neutrogena Power Clean Scrub contains micro-beads which exfoliates without harming the skin whilst removing excess oil and dirt. By gently exfoliating and cleansing you are able to gently prevent the cycle of oil, dirt and dry skin from clogging pores. Therefore, exfoliating is taking preventative measure taken to help stop triggering acne from re-occurring. Gentle exfoliating with Neutrogena Power Clean Scrub also is most beneficial by taking care of your skins needs and not providing further means of irritation, use only once to three times a week. With naturally derived skin soothers, green tea and cucumber help to reduce redness and relieve irritation, leaving sensitive acne-prone skin soft and smooth instead of dry and tight.

Neutrogena Power Clean Scrub & Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Stress Control® Power-Cream Wash are both made from a powerful technology which is clinically proven to boost the delivery of acne medicine to unclog congested pores and speed treatment deep to the source. Both products are fragranced lightly with a grapefruit/cucumber like scent, that is summery and uplifting!

My Bourjois Paris Haul & Swatches - Bourjois owns Chanel!

I splurged and picked up a couple of products from Priceline the other day during their massive sale. So I took the opportunity to try out some Bourjois products I had been eyeing for.. years! Bourjois owns Chanel cosmetics, though Bourjois is sold at much of a cheaper price and at a even further discount, its a great bargain. Though I have found, not many people realise Bourjois own Chanel!

I picked up Bourjois Paris 16 Rose Coup De Foudre, Bourjois Paris Stick Anticernes Correcteur Concealer Stick and Bourjois Paris Smokey Eyes Trio D'Ombres Paupieres Eyeshadow Trio in 04 nude ingenu. I really wished I picked up all the other blushers.

All the blushes and eyeshadow trios had the same delicate amount of shine and reflective glitter particles, that reflect upon the light. I did my best at trying to capture these in the photos, though I really recommend swatching these ones for yourself just to see how beautiful they are. I love how the Bourjois line from the blusher range to the eyeshadow range replicates matching looks and colours which all work wonderfully together making it easier for us to use! 

The pigments in the blusher and smokey eyes are made to be fully buildable and blendable. And surprisingly when I tested the concealer after waiting 3 minutes or so and I tried blending it, it stayed put! The concealer is some strong stuff!

Be sure to stop by Goss Makeup Artist Youtube channel to see how he compares a Chanel Blusher with a Bourjois Blusher!!

I am estatically happy with these purchases, and I hope I can build up my Bourjois collection! These beauties are definitely going in my Hall of Fame of remarkable beauty products!

Last Minute Mothers Day Gift Ideas!


This is a wonderful assortment of beauty products for mothers day gift ideas; They look pretty cute together as a pack, so I'd thought I'd share this pampering pack with you. It contains from left to right:
  • APIVITA Express gold - $12.90 per 2 sachets
    • Peel off exfoliating & radiance mask with papaya 99% natural composition
    • Anti-fatigue moisturizing eye patches with rose
  • Bloom Lip Duo in Moon & Stars - $28
  • Grown - $25 each
    • Shampoo with Damask Rose, Black Pepper & Sage
    • Conditioner with Damask Rose, Chamomile, & Lavender Stem


APIVITA Express Gold with Papaya Face Mask - An Our Beauty Philosophy Favourite! Best sellers in Greece!

Our skin requires a well-balanced menu of natural, nourishing ingredients to thrive. APIVITA offers a new premium line of face masks for the more exclusive at-home beauty treatment. Their products are all rich in Mediterranean fruit and vegetables, vitamins and trace acids.




Express Gold with Papaya smells amazing, wonderfully delicious and smells, good enough to eat! Though you can't eat it! Papaya, is a tropical sweet fruit that you can eat with sugar as a dessert. The flavours are reminiscent of a sugary orange flavoured soda drink. This face mask is a creature comfort that gives you the biggest hankering for papaya! I love it.

To use, simply mix the powder with 3 tablespoons of water to a smooth consistency and apply to face. It is surprising to find out that the face mask will remain crystal cold and refreshing for the 10 minutes it will be on your face; It is literary the ultimate face mask for a hot day. Once the 10 minutes is up, you can peel the mask.


APIVITA Express Gold Rose Eye Patches




You can create a perfect pair of the APIVITA Express Gold with Papaya Face Mask with the Express Gold with Rose Eye Patches. While one rejuvenates the face the other can rejuvenate your eyes! APIVITA's Express Gold with Rose are eye patches made exclusively to rejuvenate and awaken your senses and help the dark circles or puffiness under your eyes. You can lay back and relax for 10 minutes, the refreshing coldness from the patches will make you feel at ease.

Bloom Lip Dual in Moon & Stars




"Like birds of a feather, these two lip shades have been selected because they go so perfectly together" Natalie, Bloom Founder

Bloom have paired up some of their favourite lipsticks with matching lip glosses creating ultimate lip duals! You can wear the lipstick and lipgloss individually or together for a long lasting, lovely glossy full lip! I look at lip duals a lot like I do eye shadow palettes, though they are pairs for the lippy beauty world.

In addition to the creamy moisturising and conditioning, natural Vanilla and Mandarin Essential Oils ensure that lips remain ultra-kissable. The one which I received is Moon & Stars. The lipstick is a true red colour with a lovely matching lighter red gloss that appears to have the smallest touch of pink in it.

Grown Shampoo with Damask Rose, Black Pepper, Sage and Grown Conditioner with Damask Rose, Chamomile, Lavender Stem



I am an avid fan of the combinations of fragrances Grown has compiled together. They are always interesting natural scents. If you love things that are natural, indulging and pampering, try out Grown's beauty range.

The best thing about their shampoo and conditioner ranges is that the lovely scent of the beauty products will remain in your hair even after you towel dry, blow dry and straighten! Yes, those three things do not deter any of the scent, which is amazing considering just how normal shampoos and conditioner scents do not stay in your hair.

Biore Deep Cleansing Pore Strips - A Fun Solution to Unclogging Pores

Biore Pore Strips are so much fun to unclog pores and remove blackheads! Biore use patented adhesive technology for a one of a kind product that are hypo-allergenic and dermatology tested.
Did you know?  Blackheads are pimples that have not formed a skin cover! The oil and grime can turn black from being exposed to air!
How Biore Strips Work to Unclog Pores & Remove Blackheads
Biore Pore Strips physically attach themselves to excess oil, dry skin, blackheads, grime and hair that is clogging your pores. When you peel off the pore strip, the excess grime that was once on your face will be attached onto the pore strip, removing it from your nose or face

After using Biore Pore Strips take a good close look to see all the gunk that has been left behind on the Biore Pore Strip. It is always interesting to see what was inside your pores!

    • Combo Deep Cleansing Pore Strips with Ultra Nose Strips to manage your T-Zone, each pack contains 7 nose strips and 7 face strips for the chin or forehead.

How To Use Biore Pore Strips
My personally recommendation, is to use them only once a week or once every two weeks!
  1. Split the Biore Pore Strip slits if available; This allows the pore strip to adjust to the shape of your nose structure.
  2. Wet your nose/face or the pore strip.
  3. Place the Biore Pore Strip on your nose, or face, forehead or chin.
  4. Wait till the water has evaporated completely and the Biore Pore Strip has dried hard. It can be around 15 minutes.
  5. Lift the Biore Pore Strip away from your nose. It is important to be gentle, careful and slow as the skin on your face is delicate.
  6. Wash your face to remove excess product left behind.

So you probably know this week is my gourmand fragrances special! This post is about my top 7 gourmand fragrance choices that I have managed to collect over the past year. I have tried a lot of them and I hand picked these ones out just for my own personal collection.

My Top 7 Gourmand Deliciously Yummy Fragrances
My Top 7 Gourmand Deliciously Yummy Fragrances


Listed in order from left to right.

Demeter - Vanilla Cake
The scent notes include vanilla, sugar and whipped cream.

Why do I like it? Demeter fragrances are always named after what they smell like. I reach for the Vanilla Cake all the time, it is an addictive scent.

Demeter - Caramel
The scent notes include caramel.

Why do I like it?  It smells like pure caramel, very warm, sweet and full of heart.

Urban Rituelle - Cotton Candy

Why do I like it? A well developed gourmand fragrance that lasts more then 6 hours is an impressive feat at any extent. It also smells so sweet, like the sweet litchis, fruit and somehow rounds into a cupcake smell.

Bath & Body Works -Vanilla Bean Noel
The scent notes include caramel, burnt sugar, vanilla.

I can definitely smell the caramel with vanilla, it's sweet, with a massive hit of pinetrees. When it dries down you smell a little bit of everything including the florals. It is one of the more mature gourmand floral scents available.

Urban Rituelle Cotton Candy Petit Parfum Review - A Gourmand Fragrance Special

This week I am doing a gourmand fragrance special where I review products which smells wonderfully delicious. First up, with much admiration, the lovely people over at Urban Rituelle who sent me the very sweet Cotton Candy Petit Parfum from their Sweet Treats Collection, Cotton Candy Range.

Design 
The classy, cute and fun design will be the first thing you will notice when you see it! And just to mention, everyone around you will notice it to.

Scent
"A playful, melt in your mouth scent that opens with a sweet explosion of rich, spun sugar followed by the warmth of smooth toffee and powdery musk." ~ Urban Rituelle
Urban Rituelle describes the Cotton Candy Petit Parfum as being so delicious, it makes me hungry just thinking about it! And in my own words, this fragrance is wonderfully, delightfully delicious!

Cotton Candy Petit Parfum definitely reminds me of candy canes from Christmas, the depth and warmth of freshly cooked buttery caramel with sugar filled syrupy vanilla, that tingles your taste-bud's for more. The musk brings the whole scent together with a slight freshness that makes everything well rounded. It smells just like Cotton Candy and sometimes the scent can smell just like freshly baked cookies to! I can not get enough of these gourmand treats, and they put all my favourite things into the one scent! Cotton Candy Petit Parfum will take you back to the times of carnivals, fairs, goodie bags, rides, and amusement parks.

The sillage radiates out to arms length and will last for 1 to 2 hours. I find, for the rest of the day the scent will remain close to your skin and those people who are closer to you can smell it.

Final Thoughts
Urban Rituelle Cotton Candy Petit Parfum is my favourite designed gourmand perfume of all time.

I also love and adore that it smells like cotton candy. When the fragrance is broken down, you can smell candy cane, buttery caramel, sugary vanilla and cookies with a slight freshness which I believe is from the musk. It is wonderfully delightfully delicious.

Perfect size for travel. You can't go wrong with the price either, it is only $14.95!

Lanolips™ Lemonaid Lip Aid & 101 Ointment

Lanolips™ Lemonaid Lip Aid
Lanolips™ Lemonaid Lip Aid smells and tastes remarkably so much like old fashioned sweetened lemonade. If you love home made lemonade or pink lemonade soda, Lanolips™ Lemonaid Lip Aid will pull at your heart strings. Warm the product between your fingers and smooth upon your lips. Instantly you will smell and taste the old fashioned lemonade, it is wonderful how realistic and reminiscent the fragrance is.

Although it smells and tastes like lemonade, Lanolips™ Lemonaid Lip Aid actually contains lemon oil and citric acid which gently exfoliates dry skin, you may be able to feel a slight tingling as it works. Since the lip aid does all the work for you, it is the gentlest approach to take care of your lips.

Lanolips Lemonaid Lip Aid With Organic Lip Oil is made from natural grade pure lanolin that is "ultra rich and creamily whipped lanolin lip treatment", that helps to keep your lips super moisturised, hydrated and super glossy. There are also a little bit of  glitter in it, for that extra bit of shimmer.

I love love love this, just for the rich creamyness, a little bit of shimmer and that old fashioned lemonade! It's wonderful, its reminiscent of spring time and those moment when you had a big drink to quench your thirst!

Joico Moisture Recovery Range Review

This Joico Moisture Recovery Range is so amazing. The products in the range include the Moisture Recovery Shampoo, the Moisture Recovery Conditioner and the Moisture Recovery Treatment Balm. Their moisture range offers a super volumising burst for your hair, separating your hair to appear luxuriously thicker, extremely moisturised and makes your hair shine luminously. I can not say enough good things about Joico's Moisture Recovery Range.

With every wash you feel the changes in your hair. The first use of the Moisture Recovery shampoo, your hair will feel so moisturised, it is just to easy to comb your hair with your fingers. Then when you use the Moistruse Recovery Conditioner or replace the Conditioner with the Moisture Reocvery Treatment Balm, it will be even more moisturised and conditioned. Your hair will feel so amazing after using the Joico Moisture Recovery Range, just like a waterfall.

The fragrance is beautiful and rich, to me it smells like the fresh fruit smell of melons and white floral notes, it smells very expensive.
