The Summer Edit '16

It's summer again already! Isn't it crazy how fast this year has gone? It doesn't feel like it was a whole year ago since we last put up the Christmas tree! Who has finished their Christmas shopping already? As usual, I started way back in August and was well finished by December, which is good because I got to skip the Christmas rush, but bad because now I have fewer reasons to go shopping. Anyway, what does all of this mean? It's time for my next seasonal guide: The Summer Edit '16!

Oxygen Skincare Review

Oxygen is a New Zealand made brand that contains only natural and organic ingredients and doesn't test on animals. I've seen a lot of YouTubers recommending Oxygen Skincare products before, so I had high hopes for these products, and they didn't let me down! Overall, I found the products to be very gentle, but effective. Read on below for a run down of each product I tried. 

New Releases From Smashbox

I was recently lucky enough to be invited along to the Smashbox Light It Up event, where I got to meet Smashbox Pro Artist Will Malherbe as well as so many lovely bloggers and the PR team. We sipped on delicious Light It Up cocktails, inspired by the new holiday gift packs (out now - I'll tell you a bit more about them below) and heard about other new releases from Smashbox. Keep reading to hear all about them!

Christmas Gift Idea: Savar Travel Minis

Do you know someone who is going on holiday this Christmas or New Years? Or who just loves beauty products? This may be the perfect gift for them! This set of Savar Travel Minis* contains 4 mini products; shampoo, conditioner, body wash and body lotion - all of the essentials. 

Trilogy Make-Up Be Gone Cleansing Balm

The blog has been a little bit neglected over the last two weeks thanks to exams, but I've finally got a bit of time this afternoon to give it a bit more attention, before getting back to the books later! I have only ever used makeup wipes or micellar water to remove my makeup before so the Trilogy Makeup-Up Be Gone Cleansing Balm* is the first product of this kind I have ever tried out. Read on to find out what I thought!

Manuka Doctor Targeted Wrinkle Filler

I'm only 22, so wrinkles aren't exactly a huge issue for me at the moment (although I live in fear of them and I am starting to see fine lines appearing!) but, the Manuka Doctor Targeted Wrinkle Filler* is a great little product not only for filling in wrinkles, but also for filling in your pores and as a makeup primer.

Bronx Colors: City of Angels Palette

Bronx Colors have kindly sent me a huge range of their products, which I have been trying out lately. They have recently launched into the New Zealand market and their products are super affordable and cruelty free. I have so many favourites to share with you, but thought I would start with this one, the City of Angels palette*, since its limited edition.
