5 Things I will be buying come payday...

Le Tan Coconut Spray Sunscreen- $16.99

With Summer and payday looming closer here are 5 things that are on my hit list that I am hanging to buy...

1. Le Tan Coconut Spray Sunscreen- I love the smell of coconut it makes me think of Summer and now that I will be living by the beach (ahhh bliss) I will be needing to stock up on my sunscreen and this baby has a high SPF and smells delicious. The spray bottle makes getting those hard to reach places so much easier too!

Classic Collection Hand & Body Wash – Snow Gardenia- $29.95

2. I cannot wait to get my mitts on this! I am going to check out Myer for this product. I love the idea of having a luxurious hand wash and with aloe and chamomile will leave my skin so soft and absolutely smell divine!. 

Le Tan- Flawless Legs- $17.99

 3. It's not quite Summer yet which means I am right now all about the lazy girls guide to being brown. As I am not quite up to baring my legs all the time, when I do this is perfect to spray on and is like a foundation for your legs covering all those nasties like spider veins etc. Provides a great bronze for the day/night which can be washed off!

i.d bareMinerals Try Me Kit- $60

4. When I had a consultation with Gwen from True Solutions at the end of the treatment she applied bare minerals onto my face and I was really impressed and made sure I kept it in the back of my mind when my currect nude by nature one ran out. She recommended I try this trial pack which contains:

The kit is available in four shades; Light, Medium Beige, Medium Tan and Tan; and contains:
- Introductory size Foundation 2g, valued at $17.55
- Introductory size Original Mineral Veil 2g, valued at $17.55
- Short handled brush, valued at $44
 I will be buying this online from Adore Beauty.

Benefit- Girl Meets Pearl -$53

5. This little baby got launched last week and my skin has been yelling at me for not buying it sooner "we want to glow" it has said! Ok, ok, I hear ya! You twist the product and it releases a golden pink liquid illuminiser, lets call it liquid heaven shall we? It also contains some amazing ingredients such as raspberry and chamomile to sooth your skin, sweet almond seed which firms your skin (nice one!) and seasame seed oil which hydrates your skin. Are you sold? I am!


What are you looking forward to buying?

Nudie makeup?

If you're like most girls, you grew up wearing foundation, I know I did. There wasn't an alternative, that was just what you did. When I had my first consultation with Dee from the Clear Skin Clinic who I have mentioned quite a bit. She educated me on just how bad it really is for your skin. Basically you are putting like a mask over your skin which blocks your pours which does nothing good for your skin. What we should all be using is Mineral Powder Foundation!! About 2 months ago I bravely made the switch, old habits are hard to break. The 2 things I remembered someone once telling me was to buy a brand that initially came out with mineral foundation as this is what they do. (So not a big brand that has decided to give it a go) and make sure it doesn't contain talc.
Ok so with those 2 tips in mind I purchased Nude by Nature mineral foundation in the lightest shade from Priceline. 

Natural Mineral Cover $39.95

I also purchased their brush that goes with it.

Application Brush $14.95

How to apply: I tap some of the powder onto the lid then with the brush I swirl into the powder. The tap the brush on the side of the lip so excess powder is shaken off. Apply brush to face is smaller circular patterns. The idea is that the you work the powder into your skin and can build up coverage if you have certain imperfections you would like to correct. 
Benefits of Mineral Foundation: For one thing, it's all natural. The next and more important fact is that it lets your skin breathe! They even say you can wear this makeup to bed, it's that good for your skin. (I never do) I like that it actually lets the glow of my natural skin shine through as well. 
If I am having a day where I am really tired (big bags under my eyes) or having a hormonal day (spots) I apply some liquid concealer then I apply the powder on top!


To be honest it does take some getting used to. At first I was like ummm wheres the coverage? But I think after so many years using liquid I am just so used to what I normally see. 
These days I wouldn't dream of putting liquid on my face during the week, there's no need and my skin has definitely thanked me for it.
