A product with a clean conscience...

INTRODUCING

A brand with a promise....

O&M has a unique philosophy and one that grabbed my attention because i believe its very important.. they have removed harsh chemicals in favour of quality botanicals and essential oils which in return help to produce professional salon results teamed with a clean conscience...

'NO KNOTT' 

CONDITIONING DETANGLER

WWW.ORIGINALMINERAL.COM

A gorgeous conditioning hair detangler enriched with all the goodies to keep your hair silky smooth and knott free.  Ingredients include Macadamia seed oil to help replenish and cold pressed organic Argan oil to improve hair strength and health.

Smell = 10/10

After almost bathing my whole head in this product because the smell and feel was so delicious i was surprised that my hair actually did not feel oily nor greasy.  I have very fine hair that is totally in need of treatments - my hair normally feels quiet dry and sits very flat to my head as my scalp gets oily quiet quickly.  I normally have to wash my hair daily to get that bouncy fluffy bulk, however day two ladies and my hair is still bouncy and gorgeous.  

I can't put my finger on the smell but it reminds me of a really sweet cocktail - fruity and sweet and the smell lingers in your hair until you wash it and re-apply...that's such a great selling point.  If you own a hair salon, this product is a must to stock.  The packaging is funky and different enough to catch your clients eye.  Here's an example for you...cutie!!!

Did i mention this brand 'O&M' is AWARD WINNING... 

No Knott can be used on dry or freshly washed hair and you can even keep it in your beach bag and use it after surfing/swimming or after subjecting your hair to the harsh sun.  

No Knott comes in a cute 250ml bottle complete with spritzer and the RRP for this product is $28.95...bargain and a total must have in your bag!!  This product is equivalent to a good face spritz, moisturiser and perfume....a must have accessory to any daily routine.

So if you're looking for a product with a clear conscience so you can walk daily holding your head high and scream YES to no chemicals - then this product is for you.  I love it a little too much i think.. but you get that with good products.

I rate this product 10/10 + a bit more....

NEW PRODUCT LAUNCH...

Being a blogger, we are sometimes lucky enough to get the opportunity to try new products before they have hit the shelf.  In this case I was very lucky to try the new foundation 'Skin nude foundation' by Prestige Cosmetics..


www.prestigecosmetics.com.au


You may remember my blog about a Chanel foundation I tried and loved so much and thought was a great deal at $90 odd dollars?  Well can I just say ladies, for $24.99 RRP this foundation blows Chanel out of the water (and I'm not just saying this because I tried a sample before it was launched) I mean literally this product is now my fave foundation and launch day (when this product will hit shelves in selected Priceline pharmacies and online) 29th March cannot come quick enough!!

The sample I was sent (Nude Natural) was slightly darker than my natural skin tone, however when I was adorning a spray tan, this foundation became my new must have accessory.  Let me tell you a little about the product before I start loading up the evidence on my own skin...


Skin Nude is the name of this new line of foundation that will be added to the already amazing range by prestige cosmetics.  The reason for the name 'nude' is because the foundation is neither light, nor heavy - it is an exact fit to your natural skin.  It dries so natural on your skin leaving you with a non-greasy, healthy, luminous glow.  No drying in weird places around your nose or clogging pores - just an even natural coverage.


Great colours available:

The active principles are:  Skin Nude is formulated with bio related active principles, among which are some of the strongest and more effective ones to give skin that natural, healthy skin effect.  The foundation contains sun filters, is dermatologically tested, is paraben free and fragrance free.  


The ingredients are fabulous too...


Ginseng which is known for its stimulating effect on microcirculation.  The synergy of Ginseng components, Vit B and C, ginsenosides, has a toning, energising, stimulating and vasoprotective effect.

Aloe - A botanical extract known for its deeply hydrating, soothing and epithelizing effect

Vitamin E - this amazing vitamin completes the anti-aging action, known for its anti-free radical and anti-oxidant properties...goodbye aging.

Here is a pic of the foundation on my arm, keep in mind the colour is slightly darker than my pale complexion, however you will see the creamy texture in the blob and next to it you will see the coverage of the patch I have rubbed in.  Amazing!!!!

I rate this product 10/10 

Awesome coverage, great price (less than a 1/4 of Chanel), good range of colours available, great smell and all day wear - love love love!!!!

Introducing ZUII Organic makeup

If you are sick of clogging your pores with nasty makeup & want to know what all the hype is about 'Organic products' then you really need to get your hands on some Zuii Organic makeup.

I stumbled across Zuii through a friend - she was raving about this fantastic new Organic range of makeup that uses the essence of flora as main ingredients in their products.  So naturally I had to check it out.  I started with their website: www.zuiiorganic.com and the rest was pretty much history.

Seriously chic packaging with a gorgeous butterfly and strong green and black colours.  Cute cute cute colours in their range of eyeshadows, blush and lipsticks and the smells are divine.  If you follow my blog you will know that smell is important to me and in almost every post I will comment about the smell...smell is important!! 

If you are a beauty therapist who owns a salon or you are looking at opening a salon or maybe you are a beauty teacher on the hunt for a gorgeous range you can use to train your students or even a makeup artist - ZUII is for you!  Organic is the way of the future, its gentle enough to use on clients who have gone or are going through aggressive cancer treatment as well as gentle enough to use on many skin conditions young and old.

Check out the retail stand...so professional and the prices are not that expensive.

The lipsticks smell so yummy you could eat them.  The smell is very earthy and reminds me of walking into a day spa - so refreshing and actually smells like its giving your lips that boost of nature needed for hydration and health.  The smell is so good, I actually had a friend ask me what I was wearing (as she was sniffing around my face) and it was actually the lipstick! 

Now the eyeshadows are equally amazing - boasting a huge selection of colours that are free from talc and enriched with minerals and vitamins with the most lush shimmer ever.

Love love love!!!!

Blush and foundation are the same - I'm hooked.  Great coverage, no drying powdery like a lot of other foundations.  Does not stick to the small hairs on your face and create dark patches - just beautiful. Oh and did i mention, Zuii won best foundation award 2011!!!  

The blushes are also stunning, a great selection again of colours with an easy to apply texture that wears like a dream.

Zuii is formulated using organic certified flower petals, essential oils, plant extracts, vitamins and minerals.  Zuii also boasts:

No talc

No synthetics

No Petro Chemicals

No Parabens

No genetically modified ingredients

No Animal Testing

Preservative Free

So if you are hooked from my blog re Zuii Organics, you really need to get your hands on some yourself and try.  You can buy Zuii from their website or better still if you are a salon or school, you can apply for wholesale information.  Clients would love it and Organic is the way of the future in the beauty world.  Let me know what you think.

I rate this product all round a 10/10

Gorgeous packaging, gorgeous smell, gorgeous texture and most of all, gorgeous ingredients.

MOROC...CAN!!!!  (yes it can)


If you are yet to invest in an Argan oil hair product then you may be wondering which one to chose.... I know I was.  There are so many Argan oil hair products on the market claiming to be all that - deliver your hair with pure Argan oil freeing your hair from the daily struggle of dryness, frizz and almost death....yeah yeah...


Let me introduce a product I tried and LOVED.

Organix is an award winning hair care collection that prides itself in using only fair trade argan oil that is extracted using a cold pressed method which simply means the oil has not been overheated during processing and still contains all of the goodies unlike other Argan oils on the market.


Now let me tell you about the smell, texture and all of that yummy stuff.  The smell is something out of a sweet shop - simply delicious and the smell lasts in your hair all day.  All of the products stand out, however one blew my mind... the Renewing treatment.  

A creamy, heavenly, sweet smelling pot of joy and the best part is - it only cost $20.00 - amazing!  I have been using this pot for a good few months now and my hair feels amazing.  If you are a wearer of hair extensions - OMG this is amazing!!!!


Organix offers many different yummy products and boasts a huge 50+ products to effectively cleanse, condition, treat and style all hair types - check out their website for more information www.organixhair.com.


Is Organix easy to find?  Well that is another great thing about Organix - not only is it an affordable price but you can also find it in Woolworths, Coles, Priceline, Chemist warehouse and selected pharmacies nationally.

Organix products contain organic active ingredients and are sulfate free, with natural, delectable scents AND are not tested on animals.

I'm signed, sealed and delivered on this product.  Price, variety and ingredients to suit everyone who wants to look after their hair without the hefty mark-ups hair salons impose on us as consumers.

I rate this product 10/10


Go and get yourself some Organix and let me know what you think!
