Ebay Haul Comming

I've been having a swell old time on eBay and found some stunning things to purchase recently, so very shortly ( as soon as  the last few things arrive, I will be doing a rather large haul to show everything I have purchased, so keep and eye out for that one!

that all for now! x

New Job

Another quick thing. As I hurt my back quite significantly this year, I was unable to work for a few months, but i have very recently got back into the work force and am very much enjoying it!

I am working in a Chemist (or Pharmacy, or Drug store) in my home town until I make the big move to Melbourne in a few months. So far I really like working there, but bare in mind that I do work and that is why i may also be a bit slow posting.

Oh and at work we have almost the full range of Revlon make up which means I get to play with what ever i feel like!

Proactiv Update

IM AM SO SORRY! I've been gone for a long time now and I have missed posting so much! I've had a whole lot going on in my personal life and haven't had a single moment near a computer, so here we are.

I know I have been tending to post about proactive a whole lot but I know that there a plenty of people who are unsure if they want to give it a go or not and I hope these posts are helping them.

So I am I believe 6 weeks into my Proactiv Solution and I have received my next three months supply, which is the way Proactiv ships. I did have a slight problem, where they didn't ship my order until after a whole month of using tiny bottles and I has ran out, they say allow 7-10 days shipping, but they should ship 7-10 days before your cycle ends to guarantee that you don't stop using it, and unfortunately u had run out and it was turning up, so on that regard I am slightly annoyed.

Any way besides that I have a had a very bad few weeks and have not been sleeping or eating correctly, combined with stress, and the arrival of my period, im sure its no surprise that I have broken out. Now I am also annoyed at this because after this amount of time I was sure I would see much less when my skin did break out, but I have plenty of pimples. I don't blame Proactiv for my skin, but was expecting slightly more of a result at this stage.

On the other had, I have almost no redness, my skin is a whole lot more PH balanced, I have much less surface oil, and my general skin has a much nicer glow, so I hope that helps!

Nutrimetics!

So recently my Friend held a Nutrimetics Party at her house, and who can turn down the chance to try products and have some fun! So I went Along and got to trial a few of there Products and have a look at all the kits available.

Now for those who don't know what Nutrimetics it, it is a make up/ Beauty Company brought to Australia in the  late sixties, and since then, it has sky rocketed (it is available internationally quite readily). 

I personally have known about Nutrimetics for a long time, but always thought that it was more a company for older women, who are still the target demographic, but I was surprised to find a few things that I was very interested in trying.

The First thing I took and interest in was the Soul Renewal Tahiti Reviving Hand Polish. this is the only thing I am yet to use because I simply have not had time. But I did have the pleasure if trailing a different formulation of this product which I loved, I will do a full review on this product in the near future. It smell very tropical, pineapple and and coconut (if you have ever smelled Malibu and Pineapple Juice then you will know what I am talking about) 
 The next Thing I thought would be worth the money was the Nutrimetics Hydafinity Perfecting hand Therapy with Sunscreen and Myrrh Extract. Now Im all about trying hand creams, I have Generally Dry skin and had sections on my hands that dry out very easily. So when this Was shown to me as a quick Absorbent Hand Cream I was up to give it a go. This is the only product that that I have used every day since I got it and I love it. The cream is thicker then I expected which means it is more Moisturising, but it absorbs in minutes. I love this! The Scent is a very Clean Neutral Smell, that I dont love, don't had, but it doesn't linger so it doesn't matter. I highly Recommend this Product. 
 Recently I ran out of my Inika Pure Primer (Blog Post Linked HERE) and so for a few days I went without a primer, which I hated! And when I saw that Nutrimetics Had a face Primer, I thought, Why Not?. This was the best bargain of the day, as it was only $16, for a Primer, so good, Although the RRP is $29.99. The Product size is 50ml, or 1.69fl. Ounce, which is a decent amount for your money as well. I have Used this Twice and have felt that my make up has stayed on well, and that there was not problems with it, although I will have to keep you posted as to the long term effects of this product!
 While I was Flicking through the Many Catalogs, I couldn't Resist buy a few soaps. I know Soap is not a very exciting thing to purchase but these are wonderful. The range of products these soaps belong to is the botanical range, which has a large range of fruity scents. I chose two Exfoliating soaps to try as it is comming up to spring and it time to get the arms and legs out, and lets face it, they need a little work. The scents i Chose are the Tangerine (orange) and the Red Apple (red) Which smell Divine. The Tangerine Smell sweet and Fruity, slightly acidic and rich, whilst the Red Apple Smells of Candy Apple, a Scent I LOVE. 
 Last but not least, Nutriments has a gift with Purchase Program that meant that I was lucky enough to receive the Apricot Body Dew, a classic Nutrimetics Product, that I love. I swear this will be my go to Spring/Summer Body Moisturiser because it is wonderful. It is a slightly reflective, but in no way shiny, quick absorbing cream, which does not leave you with that slightly wet feeling, but skin so smooth, you wont be able to stop touching it. I believe I will be repurchasing this over and over again. 

GYMGYMGYM

I seriously need to get motivated and get my but to the gym! I think about it all the time but never ever do it. So today I have decided to start! All I need to do now is find out what time classes start and convince my friend to start with me! Wish me luck!

P.S if you know some got Runners/Trainers to buy let me know!

Proactiv Update

Ok so Im so slow at blogging lately its sad, I haven't posted since SUNDAY (crazy)...any way, because I dont have much time I thought I would quickly do a Proactiv Solution Update.

I've now been using the system for over three weeks (how time fly's when your having fun), and I have found a noticeable difference, yes I still do have blemishes and pimples, but its still working its magic. As i have said previously I wasn't expecting miracle or a quick fix, but it is working.

My skin still feels PH balanced but at the moment I have about 12 noticeable blemishes as well as just bad skin, but although that sounds bad, my blemishes have dramatically changed, they no longer come above the surface. At this stage they are still red, and are defiantly still there but they don't raise into the pimples that they once would have, so I am pleased. Im now over the hump and according to previous users, this is when the magic starts to happen, so I will keep you posted, as usual.

Bye bye Lovelies.
