SCRUB A DUB DUB

I had recently lost my MAC volcanic ash Scrub :(
At the Kiehl’s event I received the Pineapple papaya facial scrub made with real fruit extracts.  I love this scrub at the moment. I do have sensitive skin so some scrubs are way to harsh for my skin.

This scrub does not have too much scrub grains.  That’s the main reason it’s not harsh for my skin.  You only need a pea size of product to do your whole face. So it will last you a long time. Smell wise its not too strong and has a hint of pineapple.

My nose was extremely bad. It felt like sand paper after using the scrub it’s all nice a smooth just the way i like it.
Kiehl’s Pineapple papaya scrub is suitable for All skin types.
I love this scrub as it does what it says. To help exfoliate the skin gently and
naturally.


100ml RRP: $38.00.
Last for 12 Months once opened


TIP: Don’t over exfoliate once or twice a week it’s enough. If you do use a scrub to often you will strip your skin of all the natural oils.
 


Ingredients: Aqua/Water, Peopylene Glycol, Behenyl Betaine, PPG-5-Ceteth-10 Phosphare, PEG-100 Stearate, Glycery Stearate,  Phenoxyethanol, Luffa Cylundrica/luffa Cylindrical Fruit, Methylparabrn, PEG-32 Prunus Armeniaca/Apricot Seed Powder, Tocopherol, Allantoin Ascorbyl Palmitate, Sesaum Indicum/ Sesame Seed Oil, Aloe Barbadensis/Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Prunus Amygdalus Dulicis Oil/Sweet Almond Oil, Prunus Armeniaca/Apricot Kernel Oil, Anabas Sativus/Pineapple Fruiy Extract, Carica Papaya/Papaya Fruit Extract Fmla 




I give this scrub 4 out of 5 stars :D



Have a great weekend Beauties

CITY CHIC


Hey Beauties,
So its past 6pm and we are still here also I though I would blog tonight :D
Im not 100% sure if I have mentioned this But I also do Youtube http://bit.ly/mLpzJ8


City chic clothing is for bigger girls size 14 +
City chic clothing is on the high price around $70 for a top and $100 for a pair of jeans.

Here is some few tips that I go by
1.    1.City chic have a huge sale 70% off at end of financial year and around November.

2.   2.Keep your eye out for specials like 30% off or 20% off. There last special was Easter time.

3.    3. If you sign up to their newsletter they send you out a voucher each week like $10 off shoes or free shipping.



I have noticed that with buttons and zips they do not last long at all. City chic is aware of this problem and soon will be fixing it.
Also There sizes have become smaller I’m a size XS but now I have to go up to a size S. This is due to a new manufacture. So if you have not been to city chic in a while do try a next size up also if you are buying online go up a size. 



Note: the pants are no longer on the city chic website to buy. But there is some that are similar.




Items where paid with my money. I was not paid in any way shape or form

Skinfoods salmon Concealer Cream VS Bobbi Brown Concealer

Hey Beauties,

Bobbi Brown cream concealer
            A few weeks ago on a Beauty forum I came across a Singapore Organic skincare and cosmetics line. I thought I would try the dark circles salmon concealer. At first I went to there website and saw it was RRP: $32 So I though I would check out the US ebay and saw it for $11.24 plus a bonus FREE shipping.

Bobbi Brown comes with 1.7g of creamy concealer and .8g of setting powder RRP: $60. My experience with Bobbi Brown very smooth and creamy,Blends well and does a great job and covering my circles.
Downside the price tag is expensive for a small amount of product.

Skinfoods Salmon Dark circle Concearler 
Skinfoods comes with 10g of product not as creamy as the BB. But it has a creamy texture much lighter and not as thick as the BB. Does an amazing job on hiding my dark circles. The only downside is the Concealer only comes in shade 1 light and 2medium.


Conclusions: In my opinion I think both these products do the same thing. So why would I pay so much when I can pay Just over $11. Now that the US dollar is going so strong you can now get skinfoods for 
$10.40.

End results 
Left: is Skinfoods Right: is Bobbi Brown



I recommend any beauty lover to give it ago and for so cheap you wont feel guilty for spending so much.

Enjoy Beauties.
Have a great weekend.
