I'm back! Did you miss me? :) I am terribly sorry for my absence but I have had writers block for weeks now and haven't had a single clue what to write about. But in this time I have bought tons of new products (literally I'm such an addict at the moment it's getting pretty hectic) so I have loads to review for you guys in the future, exciting right?

I've never really been one to use a separate day and night moisturiser, but I couldn't resist the Yes To Carrots Daily Facial Moisturiser SPF 15 when I saw it reduced to $13 rather than the usual $20, I do love a good sale! I've heard really fantastic things about this moisturiser and in terms of moisturisers/sunscreens this is about as natural as they come. One of the main concepts is that an ingredient of all of the Yes To products is a "blend of 26 dead sea minerals that help seal in vitamins and hydration". This of course doesn't mean anything and there's no research sustaining their claim, but regardless this moisturiser has a very elegant blend of ingredients that are a real treat for your skin. Zinc oxide is the ingredient that gives the SPF protection which is fantastic all year round, especially in summer. This moisturiser is best suited for normal to dry skin not prone to blemishes (emollient products can cause blemishes) and as the formula is quite thick  and moisturising it's probably too heavy for oily or oily combination skin.

In terms of texture this is definitely a creamy moisturiser and I've found it actually takes quite a while to blend in, it takes about a minute or so before it blends but once it is blended it dries quickly to a healthy matte finish without any greasiness you'd usually expect from a sunscreen, a huge plus! It has a slight sunscreen scent but I believe Yes To added fragrance to it (the last ingredient, so it has a very little to no chance of irritating the skin) to either cover up the sunscreen scent or enhance it, I'm not too sure. 

I can highly recommend the Yes To Carrots Daily Facial Moisturiser SPF 15 for anyone who's willing to splash out a little more on the drugstore front without paying a high end price, the formula is just as luxurious if not more than some Estee Lauder and Clinique moisturisers!

Skincare and cosmetic science has come such a long way, there are so many new innovations in all fields such as moisturisers, sunscreens, foundations and masks, state of the art formulas are being produced daily and to get the best for our skin these formulas need to be packaged correctly. In order for the ingredients to stay sanitary and to live up to their maximum potential they have to be packaged in a stable condition, and outdated jar packaging is not the way. 

The ingredients in the jar, no matter how state of the art they may be will break down in a jar due to lack of stability when they are exposed to light and oxygen. Some products will come with small spatulas to scoop out product, saving you the lack of hygiene from constantly dipping dirty fingers in and out, but this doesn't stop what you can't control; light or air. These ingredients are just as vulnerable to damage from pollution, sunlight, smoke and environmental attack as your own skin. Unfortunately the skincare and cosmetics industry continues to onslaught consumers with jar packaging despite it's faults, and this is because women love the appearance and the luxurious appeal of jar packaging. Think about it, a rich and glamourous lifestyle with a high class array of skincare products from Shiseido, Chanel and La Mer littered all over your vanity appeals to you doesn't it? Hence the skincare industry continues to utilise it, as a marketing strategy.

There are so many amazing products with wonderful formulas that you really shouldn't waste your time or money on products in bad packaging, I cannot recommend any product packaged in a jar apart from gel eyeliners, creme eyeshadows or pigments, or lip balms.

Hi my little munchkins! Long time no see :) Winter has been hitting me and my skin hard, as well as the rest of Melbourne! So unfortunately my Neutrogena moisturiser just hasn't been strong enough for me, the cold is making my dermatitis act up too so the dryness around my nose, forehead and even my eyebrows is getting hardcore, so I figured it's time to pull out the big guns.

I first bought this at Selfridges when I was (you guessed it..) in the UK and it wasn't cheap, I believe it was between £30 and £39, I can't remember exactly, and what's funny is at first I hated it. My skin in the UK was awful, I had so much acne, I think it may have been from the flight drying my skin out, but also more for the fact that I barely drank water when I was in London because I think it tastes disgusting, it's very hard and slimy water, but it worked great when I was washing my hair. I didn't bring my Neutrogena moisturiser because my brother wanted to keep it at home for his skin, so I took my Laneige Water Sleeping Pack with me instead. Clearly by the amount of acne I had my skin was not pleased, so I sought an alternative. I know that the majority of Clinique products are unfragranced but I could not stand the scent of this, it's not a chemical smell or anything but it's just a bit unpleasant. 

I stopped using this moisturiser for about 2 months because I figured it was making my acne worse from when I was on holiday, but my skin needs drastic help. Super Rescue is an incredible blend of water, silicone, thickeners, shea butter (ultra moisturising!), fatty acids (more moisture!), glycerin, antioxidants (preventing free radical damage), cell-communication ingredients and skin identical ingredients, all packaged in a opaque tube protecting these state of the art ingredients from contamination or sunlight, perfect!

Super Rescue is a fairly thick beige coloured cream that blends into the skin smoothly and effortlessly, and honestly I use this for daytime, nighttime and as a base for my makeup since it's much better than any of my silicone primers for my dry skin right now! It's great for dry and dry combination skin (they also make a very dry variant and a combination oily to oily skin variant) but this one is a bit too emollient for areas where you have a lot of acne, which would encourage more acne.

Super Rescue keeps my skin hydrated, plump and soft, it sinks into the skin quickly and doesn't leave any shiny or oily residue. It's a great product if you're willing to splurge on your skin and give it moisturiser that has one of the best state of the art formulas representing how far skincare has come.
