kit cosmetics


Kit cosmetics
MINERAL FOUNDATION


Colour kit is enriched with skin-loving ingredients that nourish and protect the skin whilst avoiding some irritating usual suspects of the ingredient world.
Kit's mineral lineup gets you to complexion perfection pronto and is free from preservatives, oil, talc, fragrance and waxes. The mineral foundations in three oh-so-blendable shades buff on like silk and provide smooth, buildable coverage with a creamy weightless feel.
 

 














This particular foundation comes in two shades fair and medium. I like this foundation a lot because it has great coverage but it also leaves you skin super soft.


It stays on the whole day and it easily comes off with a good makeup remover. When using this my pores have not become clogged once, which is fantastic. Its so easy to apply and ends in a flawless finish, no flaky dry look and definitely no drop your face in powder look. A really good MINERAL foundation!! That’s right it’s a mineral foundation, which is even better for the skin. When a friend of mine came over we decided to go out for dinner and she doesn’t go out in public without make up so she used this and also loved it. The next morning she went online and got herself one.

Schwarzkopf


Schwarzkopf is proud to announce the arrival of the Marrakesh Oil and Coconut range, the latest instalment to its Extra Care collection, the number one treatment brand on the market.

Indigenous to Morocco, Marrakesh Oil contains organic Argan Oil, a revolutionary ingredient derived from the renowned Moroccan Argan plant, rich in antioxidants and known for its caring properties, which boost shine and increase hydration.

Combined with the Marrakesh Oil is luxurious coconut milk and regenerating liquid keratin, which helps to repair hair damage both within the hair’s structure and on its surface. The liquid keratin technology creates a thin, protective coating to the hair, minimising heat damage caused by straightening irons, curling tongs and blow drying, whilst giving hair strength, suppleness and more shine.

Shampoo and conditioner

Schwarzkopf Extra Care Marrakesh Oil & Coconut Shampoo & Conditioner
RRP: $6.99
each Infused with Marrakesh Oil and coconut milk, both shampoo and conditioner create beautifully healthy, silky smooth hair without leaving any residue.

When hearing about this new range I was super excited as I have extremely stressed hair; as do most mums I would think, as our hair is often our last priority these days.
Well after using this the first time I did notice a big change. I usually have really frizzy hair but these shampoo and conditioners weighed it down perfectly.
I will mention if you LOVE great smelling hair like me, get this in your bathroom NOW!!! It smells AMAZING and it lasts the whole day and night. I flick my hair around just so I get a waft!!

Express Mousse Treatment
RRP: $8.99
This lightweight mousse treatment deeply nourishes the hair while its fluffy formula means hair remains light and packed full of body.

If you have frizzy hair or really dry damaged hair this one is for you. Although I wouldn’t recommend it if you have normal or oily hair, as it does make your hair really heavy and I needed to use product to get some volume back in my hair. I also noticed in the morning my roots have become quite oily quick. But I cant get over how great these products smell.

Daily Oil Elixir
RRP $8.99
This oil is any mummies dream.  I am so glad Schwarzkopf has created this oil. It can be used in a few ways (I have tried all and they ALL work a treat)
This multi-purpose must-have can be used as a nourishing pre- treatment before washing, on towel-dried hair for care and suppleness and as a finishing product for frizz reduction and extra shine.
My favorite way to use this is on towel-dried hair. I will get out of the shower and towel dry my hair; I will then apply this only to the ends of my hair as I find it works its own way up. Then I will wrap my hair while I get dressed etc. and I find that extra heat in the towel helps to really get this oil working. I love this one, that’s for sure. It also is in a plastic bottle, so is great to take with you travelling!! Great job Schwarzkopf, two thumbs up and if I had more they would also be up!!


Let me know of your thoughts and experiences with this new range. Also what are your pros and cons?

Sharpie


Sharpie Permanent Textas

Permanent on most surfaces
Fade and water resistant
Quick-drying ink
AP certified nontoxic formula
12 assorted colors to make your marking unique




The thing I love most about Sharpie is you can buy them almost everywhere, they are easily accessible. And very reasonably priced.

I use these for just about anything which includes, writing names on the kids lunch boxes, writing my name on my food for the work fridge, labeling things. They can be used for anything you use a marker for. There is very minimal running of the ink when writing on fine paper as well. The tip makes this permanent texta such a easy breeze to write with. Sharpie is the only pen you’ll find in my desk. J We also used these to get the girls jumpers signed at the football and I have washed the girls clothes and the autographs have not faded!! J SHARPIE is our preferred marker!!

Paper Mate Ink Joy

There is never a dull moment when writing with PaperMate, you can change the colour up on your page without the need of highlighters or anything. Their colours stay vibrant and dont go dull.
 
I know when your looking for a writing mate, look to PaperMate they will be sure to have you covered.

I know when us girls are doing blogger stuff and starting up the drafts of reviews or writing in our diaries we are using PaperMate. We have a colour for all things we write down.  For example any thing beauty I write in pink, any thing fashion I write in Purple then anything baby or kids related I write in the bright blue. Its great and makes things easier to find.

Pacifica- Bringing a little bit of the Tropics home!


Who needs a holiday in Tahiti or Tibet? Not me, although a break from this terrible Melbourne weather sound pretty damn good!!
But if you want to be taken away for just that little bit, close your eyes and get them hands on some of Pacifica’s products!! Wowie they are amazing and smell like.. like… your on a massive holiday in the middle of the hot season!!!

Firstly there is the Tahitian Gardenia Body butter. Made with nature's best moisturizers - shea butter, almond oil and safflower oil -Pacifica's paraben -free Body Butter is a skin must-have.  Now available in tubes in our best-selling fragrances, making them easier to take anywhere!
You can pick yourself up a bottle for only $18.00. Which is amazing value for money.
The butter is so thick and creamy and keeps your sin feeling superb, but not only that the smell is beyond amazing and will really get them sensors working.



  Then there is also the Lotus Garden Spray perfume
Fun, fresh and fantastic, Pacifica Spray Perfume is made with natural, pure grain alcohol (corn-sourced and gluten-free) and Pacifica's signature perfume blends with essential and natural oils. Precious and innocent in Lotus Garden, it's sexy, easy to wear and lovely to layer!
Wowie and this one really is a beauty, I know sometimes when I am wearing a perfume, after the first hour the smell kind of leaves my body. With this spray it last the day through and sometimes by the end of the day I go to wash my clothes and I can still smell the perfume on me! It’s a great natural sourced perfume. I cant wait to add more of the varieties to my collection. You can pick your self up a bottle for only  $22.00 Which is amazingly cheap for something so awesome!!!


Lastly I was lucky enough to try the Tibetan Mountain Temple Soy candle.
Perfectly fragrant, colorful and clean-burning, Pacifica Soy Candles are handmade with vegetable soy wax, lead-free wicks and Pacifica's signature perfume blends with essential and natural oils. Powerful and timeless in Tibetan Mountain Temple, these are the best candles in the world!
(Approx. burn time: 50 hrs.)
I lit this in my lounge room and you could smell it burning in every single room you went into. The major smell you get is a yummy cinnamon smell. It just lingers and at time can also make you crave a sweet :P Its so yummy and I will dread the day this one runs out!! Which hopefully won’t be for AGES as they have a burning time of 50 hours!!
You can pick yourself up a candle for $16.00 or these would also make an amazing present, I know I would be super excited to receive a present like this!!


SO I believe not only should all mummies but aunties, grandmas, sister and any female should jump on over to Pacifica’s site and at least own one piece of their beautiful collection. Then you will see how truly amazing these products are!!!
