Natural, Vegan and Pure Molten Gold – The Antipodes Glow Ritual Vitamin C Serum ticks all the right boxes!

April 11, 2022 Paris B 1 Comment

Since being introduced to Antipodes Skincare back in 2012, I’d watched the brand grow, with a lot of interest. It’s a brand of skincare that I particularly enjoy using, and one of very few organic and natural skincare brands that I have no hesitation telling people about, simply because it does the job, and then some!

They’ve introduced quite a few new products in recent times, and one that piqued by interest was the Antipodes Glow Ritual Vitamin C Serum. We all know how I am about a Vitamin C serum! I’m mad for them!

What interested me more than another new Vitamin C serum, was that the Antipodes Glow Ritual Vitamin C Serum is made from a natural source of Vitamin C – kakadu plum.

I was a little sceptical if it’s better than chemically derived Vitamin C, I must admit, but in my books, anything from one of my favourite brands is worth a try! 🙂

Beauty hors d’oeuvres: Natura Kaiak Oceano Fragrance – cleaning up the oceans makes scents!

March 22, 2022 Paris B Leave a Comment

One of the first things I was told about Brazilian brand Natura, when I was first introduced to it, was that they are proud of their fragrance range. Apparently, Brazilians love fragrance! And being a Brazilian brand, Natura embraced that love, and developed a range of affordable fragrances that you can purchase at their store and online.

A recent addition to this extensive fragrance range is the Natura Kaiak Oceano fragrance. I broke my self-imposed isolation to go to the store to have a look, because despite advances in technology, we still can’t smell through our computer or mobile screens.

I used to be quite partial towards oceanic scents when younger. There was something about the clean, slightly salty tang of oceanic fragrances that attracted me. I was curious to see if the Natura Kaiak Oceano fragrance might remind me of that 😀

Bacteria isn’t all bad, and especially not when it’s in the Antipodes Culture Probiotic Night Recovery Water Cream

Most of you know by now what a big fan I am of Antipodes skincare. Barring one or two items in the product range, I usually love everything carried by the brand, and I look forward to new releases from them.

When I came across the new Antipodes Culture Probiotic Night Recovery Water Cream, I was very intrigued.

Primarily, I was intrigued at the use of probiotics in the formula. I’d been reading about probiotics in skincare for a while, but there aren’t many brands I know, that use it.

Ultimately though, I had my reservations about the Antipodes Culture Probiotic night cream, and it had nothing to do with the probiotics 🙂

When the day gets overwhelming, calm down and luxuriate in the Chanel Sublimage Le Baume Revitalizing, Protecting and Soothing balm

Here’s a little funny personal backstory to my receiving the Chanel Sublimage Le Baume.

When I first heard of it, I immediately thought that it would be a balm cleanser, and I LOVE balm cleansers! It did strike me a little odd that there would be a balm cleanser when there already exists the Sublimage Gel-to-Oil cleanser (which I LOVE!), but I did not think much of it. Who can fathom how brands think anyway?!

So, when the Sublimage Le Baume dropped in my lap, I did a double-take. This was not a cleansing balm!

A quick frantic read of the literature revealed to me that the Sublimage Le Baume was, in fact, a balm moisturiser!

I must confess that this dry-skinned gal got even more excited at the thought of a balm moisturiser, than I did at the thought of a balm cleanser! 😀
