Ain't she a beauty

Hello lovely readers,

It seems that I must once again apologise for the extended sojourn I have taken between posts, if only there weren't so many butterflies for me to chase and puddles for me to jump in. But anyway, enough about my life, let's get down to the nitty gritty (quite literally) of some lovely products I have been giving a burl for the past few weeks - namely, the highly scrubberific a bit of rough exfoliating salt scrub and the very soothing flutter eye balm from wonderful Australian skincare company that loves all things natural, Ulittlebeauty.

First of all, the a bit of rough exfoliating salt scrub ($19.95):


which is packed with all sorts of goodies like macadamia nuts (not whole ones of course), coffee, jojoba oil and salt - which in truth is less of a goodie and more of a seasoning, but makes the scrubiness of this scrub wonderfully envigorating none the less. Inside it looks a little something like this:


I have only ever really tried 3 body exfoliating scrubs in my time - one which I have previously written about, the Garnier bodytonic sugar scrub, the second was a catastrophic bit of DIY which had olive oil and brown sugar flying everywhere and turning me into a big oily mess - well even more of one, and the third was of course this one which after consideration of the scrubbiness, naturalness and making your skin look really good and healthy after you've used it-ness factors, is a big winner in my books. I really love the natural feel of this product (if that makes any sense at all) and it does make my skin look really nice and smooth after use. The only thing that was a tad annoying is figuring out where to put the tub in the shower to prevent it from filling with water - oh how I envy those with a handy shower shelf!

The other Ulittlebeauty product that I have been rocking around with for the past few weeks is the lovely under eye puffiness and bagginess-relieveing flutter eye balm ($24.95):


At first I was a tad unsure about this eye cream (which includes ingredients such as organic chamomile flower extract, macadamia seed oil, organic aloe, and Kakadu plum extract) as when I popped it on it didn't feel as though it was working as much as my previous eye cream (QV face's revitalising eye cream), but after sticking with it for a couple of weeks I (many apologies for the cliched term) really noticed the difference. There was a definite reduction in puffiness and the darkness of my much loathed under eye circles, I also really love the feel of this cream and with all those wonderful ingredients in it this product must be good for you.

Till we next meet.

xoxo
