ELES Mineral Makeup - Liquid Powder Foundation & Pore Perfecting Face Primer


It's not often you fall in love with cosmetic products but when you find that perfect match in a cosmetic item it's a dream come true.

ELES Mineral Liquid Powder Foundation was when I found my first foundation that I could fall in love with. ELES Mineral Liquid Powder Foundation is this smooth, velvety, creamy and light foundation that just spreads onto your face ever so nicely.
I have never used a mineral based foundation before ELES and really do strongly believe that everyone should definitely give ELES Mineral Liquid Powder Foundation a test before you can really say 'I've found the one'.
ELES Mineral Liquid Powder Foundation - 30ml          RRP - $66.50
This foundation is a hypoallergenic and oil-free liquid formula which glides on velvety smooth and sets to a soft powder finish which lasts all day. ELES foundation includes a chemical-free sunblock within the product helping to provide your skin with coverage against damaging ultra-voilet light and free-radicals. 
ELES is a long-lasting formula which allows the foundation to enhance the complexion without covering up the skin, allowing it to 'breathe' freely. 
This would be the first time I have ever worn a foundation that matched my skin tone perfectly - I am usually a one or two shade darker girl to get more of that sun kissed tanned look. I loved that when I hugged my partner that this did not rub off on his clothes like all other foundations have done, leaving nasty stains that are hard to scrub out at times. 
ELES Mineral Liquid Powder Foundation blended well into my skin and worked really well with ELES Pore Perfecting Face Primer as the base. 
ELES Pore Perfecting Face Primer - 28g         RRP - $62.00 
Once again ELES has shown me something different - I have never used a primer before. Primer is an amazing little secret that helps to create that flawless makeup look. ELES's primer creates a protective base for makeup, keeping skin nourished and hydrated.
ELES's Pore Perfecting Face Primer is lightweight and oil-free. Its techno-advanced formula is made with Vitamin E, Beta-Hydroxy Acid, Cyclopentasiloxane, Enantia bark extract and Olenanolic Acid which combats shine in multiple ways, absorbing oil and reducing pore size.
Not only does it make you have that gorgeous flawless look but whilst you are wearing ELES Pore Perfecting Primer it's naturally refining and exfoliating the complexion as Salicyclic Acid levels our roughness and keeps foundation looking smooth, hour after hour.
Over time, ELES Primer keeps on working to control oil breakthrough even after you take if off.
I was amazed at how little foundation can be applied to your face to get it looking flawless... Here is what was left on my make-up after a clean off at night... That is nothing compared to all our foundations I have used which end up leaving me 2 make up wipes down trying to get it all off.

Paul Mitchell for Kids



Paul Mitchell has 2 very special products my sister is holding close to her hair daily which are:
Baby Don't Cry Shampoo & Taming Spray

WHY?

These 2 products that I am about to discuss with you would have to be hands down the best smelling and effectively working products for kids.
My little sister has this crazy, thick, untameable 'Islander' hair as well call it. She has always been the squirmer when it comes to having to get her hair brushed after a shower. She would cry and scream for what seemed like ages having to get her hair combed through.
I have tried a lot of different branded detanglers, shampoos, conditioners, treatments etc... everything you name it to be able to make hair brushing time something that isn't so painful and fearful for her.
Paul Mitchell's range is something that has created peace and magic to our ears and I am sure heaven for her to manage. My sister is now currently at the age of 11 and she is finally able to go through her hair brushing by herself. Paul Mitchell products have really helped to made her very independent in looking after her own hair.
The smell is gorgeously refreshing and smells fresh from a salon. Her hair is a lot easier to brush.
She loves this products so much that she will be caught numerous times a day spritzing and running her fingers through, you can just tell what a difference it has made for her and how much happier she is with Paul Mitchell hair products in her life now.
Baby Don't Cry Shampoo -                                                                                  300ml RRP $19.95
Is a special shampoo that was designed with baby's skin and scalp in mind. Baby Don't Cry Shampoo has been formulated with unique moisturising and soothing qualities. 
It is Gentle on hair with mild cleansers and a neutral pH creating this tearless formula. 
It is Soothing with chamomile and cone flower extract which helps to calm and soothe the skin and scalp.
It is a unique blend of extracts that help replace and prevent the disruption of the natural occurring moisture on the skin.
Taming Spray -                                                                                                    250ml RRP $24.95
Is lightweight, leave-in conditioner helping calm, control and comb through kids' most difficult tangles, leaving hair feeling great and full of body and shine.
It Sprays On and Leave On technique provides easy detangling on dry or damp hair. 
Its Fast Acting which quickly penetrates, leaving hair fresh and full of body. 
This is a great product to use after showers, on damp hair or even on that morning bed hair!

Revlon Professional - Hydra Rescue Treatment


The first thing you will notice about this product is it's smooth, silky and creamy texture. It has this gorgeous fresh smell which reminds me of a new born baby.


Interactives is the new concentrated hair care range from Revlon Professional - Hydra Rescue is only one under the Interactive range.
Hydra Rescue is the ultimate hydration weapon formulated to help combat visible damage caused by the environment, colouring and regular use of heated styling tools.

Hydra Rescue products have a shampoo, balm, treatment and elixir - they have all been scientifically formulated to provide dehydrated, fragile and dull hair with effective and easy to use solutions.
Packed with active ingredients, Hydra Rescue includes a unique hydra capture system that maintains moisture levels up to 36% more than intensive conditioners. The system locks water inside the hair which is then gradually released to provide regular hydration that nourishes and replenishes brittle tresses.
Not only is Hydra Rescue providing you with the hydra capture system but each Hydra Rescue product has its own unique purpose and works most effectively when used in conjunction with other products from the range.

I used the Hydra Rescue Treatment which is a 200ml jar which is RRP $26.95.


This is a dual action treatment intensely nourishing the hair from inside out, rehydrating and regenerating damaged hair. Its best used every one to two weeks, the treatment will keep hair soft, shiny and silky between salon visits.

My hair is probably in a bad way after all the colouring, bleaching, hair styling tools that have been used on my hair from my younger years. These days I tend to just let it dry naturally and am lucky to have it fine and never really needing to be styled after drying.
I never noticed how dull my hair actually was - it never had that shine, that glossy look to it. It was always just 'Your hair sits nicely or your hair looks good today' I never succeeded in the compliments of 'Your hair looks really full of life or your hair looks really healthy and shiny' until I used this product.
My hair just had this glow to it. This product did such wonders to my hair leaving me amazed with not only the look it left in my hair but the smell.

My partner Daniel enjoys using this product too and I can always smell it on him after a shower. The smell just leaves a clean, fresh and breath-taking moment with you.

Here are my top 3 picks for this Mother's Day... 




ACQUA di GIOIA - Giorgio Armani - just released!!!
RRP - 50ml $99 and 100ml $125 
ACQUA DI GIOIA Eau Fraîche unveils a new expression of Jasmine. An exclusive infusion of just-
picked flowers creates a very subtle and completely transparent blend, with an intense Jasmine Tea
note.
Joined with ACQUA DI GIOIA’s signature Water Jasmine accord, it evokes a rare synthesis of water and light for an incredible sensation of purity.
Sparkling top notes of grapefruit, Primofiore lemon and mandarin zest, reveal a fresh and floral heart. Ylang-ylang brings its solar radiance to the aquatic Water Jasmine and to the airy Jasmine Tea accord. Cedarwood is enveloped in delicate musks with hints of brown sugar for an earthy, lingering caress.

The luminous ACQUA DI GIOIA Eau Fraîche bottle follows the same design aesthetic as ACQUA DI GIOIA: an elegant and modern interpretation of organic, feminine forms. The new bottle plays with light and transparency. The distinguishing feature is a drop of water seemingly captured in the soft green glass.
