Have you spotted any new skincare products lately? If you have please share it with us here on the forum!

Today I spotted (then subsequently purchased) two new products from the Clinique range!

All About Eye's Rich - Is a more potent blend of botanicals than the original All About Eyes and supposedly works a treat on dark circles and puffiness! Will let you know what I think after I use it.

Take The Day Off Cleansing Lotion - Supposedly very gentle and soothing. I love lotion cleansers so thought I would give it a go! Will report back when I have used it!

I noticed the bosy shop had a new Aloe Vera skin care range for sensitive skin. I haven't purchased any yet i think i might wait until winter comes calling.

Read online that L'Occitane will be releasing a new range aimed at 25-35 year olds called Apple Almond. No other word yet!

oooh Apple Almond! Sounds Fab!

Courtesy of Allure mag, I have discovered two interesting additions...

Murad Intensive Wrinkle Reducer "collagen boosting marine extrats and glycolic acid with clarifying cinnamon (??!) extract to soften and smooth". Became available just recently in the US.

Origins (anyone used their skin care?) has released Youthtopia with an exotic Russian herb called Rhodiola rosea, argireline, soy peptides, vit c and sodium hyaluronate amongst other things. Claims to "increase cell energy to protect skin against aging from pollution and stress. The Rhodiola helps to regulate chemical imbalances of the body whether from biological or environmental factors". Sounds like an ingredient to watch!

Also, not quite skin care but Laura Mercier has just released a book called "The New Beauty Secrets: Your Ultimate Guide to a Flawless Face. Hope our bookstores get a hold of this one soon!

I would be interested to get hold of that book too Luisa.

I love Origins! They do great lip glosses (that tingle mmmmm), great body products and masks/shampoos etc.

I've used the Ginger shampoo and conditioner - wasn't the best but it was nice.

LOVE the Grapefruit shower gel, body souffle and dry oil spray. Mmmm so fruity!!

And the hydrating mask is nice too - I should start using that on my cheeks and the Benefit clay mask on the t-zone!

I would be interested to get hold of that book too Luisa.

Guys, sorry, dont bother with the Laura Mercier book! Had it in Borders and it really is so basic with too many pics of celebrities who have had their make up done by her. Not bad for a large hardcover at $50 but way too basic for us adoreables!

Did pick up The Skin Type Solution, A Revoloutionary Guide to Your Best Skin Ever by Dr Leslie Baumann (saw this on an overseas website). Can claim this on my tax too, yeah!!

OOh, well done Luisa, could you let me know if this book is worthwhile purchasing after you've read it?

OOh, well done Luisa, could you let me know if this book is worthwhile purchasing after you've read it?

I have only checked out the index and a quick flick through - an absolute MUST!

How much was it Luisa?

$35 for 516 pages of impartial, educational and up to the minute advice!

Oooh, bargain!:hearts:

I've just got the new Ego Sun Sense Aftersun creme gel (under $10?) in the chemist. It has a green holographic label. Its an antioxidant Moisturiser with grapeseed polyphenols, Vit C & E. Apparently the antioxidents stop the free radicals caused by sun exposure to reduce skin damage. It has a light consistancy & no scent.

I'm having a body shop aprty in a couple of weeks and recieved the new catalogue the other day. OMG!!! They have some great new products for skincare.

Vitamin E - They have a new Day cream with SPF 15 in it, it comes in a pink tive. Very excited.

Vitamin C - Night Treatment

Seaweed - I think its for Acne prone/oily skin

Aloe Vera - Sensitive skin

Moisture white - Its a little expensive but OMG it hs some great products, it aims to aid your complexion making it luminous and healthy looking. They have a mouse to foam cleaners, a powder to foam cleanser (very intersted) and the usual toners, moisturisers etc but they have a serum that brightenins your skin. I'm very interested in the range however its a little high priced for my budget.

I was so excited when i saw the new products i just wanted to get on here and tell everyone about them. As you can tell i love me some body shop.

Has anyone heard or seen if the Body Shop is releasing a Vitamn C Day cream and VItamin C cleanser?

I know they exist, they just haven't been released in Australia yet.

What's that like party plan? I have never heard of them doing that. Details please!

Hey Medusa, Yeah its a body shop party plan. They are pretty common where i live, my sisters friends does them , so far i've been to 3 this year already. I'm having a skincare one, you cn have feet, hands or skincare. You get pampered with the feet or hands ones. They are a lot of fun aswell. You can try all the products aswell.

I'm hoping i get a party booking becasue then i get $50.00 to spend. Wahoo!

Hi all! My first time here :chuckle:

A few of days ago I bought this Missha Strawberry Yogurt Mask (http://www.missha.com.au/products/index.php?page=3&f_sid=15&f_pid=5&b_sid=).
It smells absolutely YUM!
I have tried it twice so far. It also feels very smooth when massaging onto skin.
After washing off skin feels quite soft and clean. Not oily or anything.

At the moment there is only one store in VIC and that's the box hill store.
Some of their make up are pretty good too. I bought a mascara and lip gloss!

Hi there Sandibabii, welcome to the forum. Can you tell us anything else about their products?

Welcome Sandibabii!

Hi~ thank you for the welcomes!

I haven't tested a whole range of their products. So far only some make up and the mask.
My ex used to use the aftershave from their men range which he had good feedback on.

their website www.missha.com.au
might be worth a look at if any of you are interested. has some overview of the brand and their product range.

When I test out more products will let you guys know :)

Hi again,

Had a look at the Missha website and confirmed my suspicions! Like the Face Shop in the Jam Factory and in the city, this company is South Korean. I am sure we will see more and more of these stores hit town. Personally I wouldnt use their skin care but they usually have a cheap and comprehensive makeup and accessories (sponges, brushes etc). I lie, I do have a honey based hand cream from them and used it when I was desperate for lip balm and it was great!

I must admit the eyeshadows at Face Shop look sensational with colours reminiscent of MAC but uh oh, nowhere near the intensity of pigment and blendibility. I do have to say that they do the best lip pencils and have finally found a colour I will buy forever!

Cheap and cheerful, Laura loves to "play" in these stores. We havent seen the last of them either!

Lol Luisa I am sure one day Laura will really appreciate you calling her cheap and cheerful! :makeup:

Mmmm. She is not getting anywhere near my prestige stuff for a while yet!

I was in the chemist today looking for a body cream for my Nan when I spotted a great product. I was searching among the QVs, Hydaderm etc when I saw a chemist brand called Total E Cream in a 250g white pump pack for $15.95.
I always read the ingrediants lists & was happy to find this one was free of lanolin & Mineral Oil, in fact I was quite impressed by the quality of the contents. This is how it reads: Evening Primrose Oil, Rosehip oil, Vit E, Vit B5, Retinyl Palmitate & preservatives - Methyyl Hydroxybenzate, Phenoxyethanol.

They also do this cream with a sunscreen too. :clapping: It aborbed straight into my skin & has no scent.

This particular chemist was Blooms by it is manufactured by Pharmacy Life, NSW.

The ingredient list is impressive but do be aware that even though it is called Total E, if you have copied the ingredient list in order, it seems to have more EPO and Rosehip oil in it - nothing wrong with that though! Glad you found a product that suits and saved some dosh!:clapping:

A lot of products even "natural" ones have phenoxyethanol as a preservative.
It does worry me a bit. A list with chemical ingredients states: phenoxyethanol toxic to kidney and bladder,can cause serious damage to eyes,causes reproductive disorders and brain degeneration.
Now I know it is only a tiny amount being used, but it can all add up. Just something that worries me at times.

Elizabeth Arden (besides 8 hour cream has anyone used any of their skin care?) have launched Intervene, Pause and Effect Moisture Cream and Lotion with SPF 15. Though there is little clinical data, EA says Intervene, with Biodormin, narcissus bulb extract, soy, red clover extract, sodium hyaluronate, sodium PCA and glycerin works to slow down cell turnover. Most creams on the market claim to speed up cell turnover but EA wants to slow them down to protect the matured cells against environmental damage thus delaying the appearance of wrinkles. Interesting concept. Testers noticed an improvement around eyes after two weeks.

Mecca Cosmetica have launched CINQ Mondes skin/body care range. Looks impressive and have ordered:

Rain of Rose Petals Softening Bosy Lotion
De fleurs Face and Neck Lotion

Will report back once they arrive.

Also at Mecca I have noticed they are selling sample packs of N.V Perricone Products. They have little packs for most skin conditions and also an eye care one. This would be goos for those wishing to trial N.V Perricone products. www.meccacosmetica.com.au

Rescu Beauty Bar also have some new additions. These are Haircare by Rodney Cutler and Skincare (for men by the looks of it but I could be wrong) by Peter Thomas Roth. www.rescu.com.au

I have seen advertising for a skincare brand called ROC. Sold via chemist & priceline. Does anyone know anything about this range?

I've seen it too - I think it is quite cheap, and sounds pretty good but I would like to know more.

Roc has been around in Europe for a very long time and was sold only at chemists.
It is now owned by Johnson and Johnson.

It always got mixed reviews,it is supposed to be designed for sensitive,dry skin with fewer irritants than other products.

I cannot recall ever trying it so I cannot really tell what it is like.
I saw it at Priceline yesterday. Ah and they do animal testing!

What! :flames: How do you know that?
Who tests on animals anymore these days? Its such a sensitive topic. That makes me want to start a thread where we can agree to boycott these sort of brands - but I sense James will disagree. :(

Medusa, unfortunately lots of companies still do tests on animals. Check out website ewg.org, it tells you about it. I agree it is shocking.:flames:

I found that site difficult to navigate. I don't see an issue of making each other aware of which brands do and don't animal test.

Ideally I would love a list of brands who test on animals so I can avoid them. In this day and age I utterly object to such a barbaric practice when there are willing back-packers : ) to volunteer for extra cash. I supose bunnies don't get paid!

Roc is supposedly available at Priceline. It's being quite heavily advertised at the moment.

I hate testing on animals. I always look for the tested on humans not animals label on the packaging. If animals wanted to have products tested on them they would have started their own line by now:makeup: !!

defintely in agreeance. furry things are for cuddling not for laboratories..

keen on sharing knowedge of products that animal test so I can avoid them for sure!

Was just reading an article on The Age (http://www.theage.com.au/news/beauty/lifting-the-lid/2006/12/07/1165081094062.html) online and came across a brand called Li'tya (http://litya.com/).
Inspired by the Aboriginal Dreamtime and made from native Australian, organic ingredients, all Li'Tya products are packaged in brown glass pharmaceutical bottles and jars and neutral and mud brown tubs and tubes with an earthy and organic personae.

I have requested a sample of the recommended product, Mother of Pearl Facial Polish. Will let you know.

Adorables -- have you heard of this one?

I think Lisa mentioned this one in one of The Age's beauty blogs. By the way James, can we have some more Lisa please?

Li'tya's first incarnation was as a niche mid-priced skincare line called Baiame, we used to stock it :) Beautiful products but the packaging and pricing were not quite right. The company relaunched it as Li'tya and aimed it at the day spa market, where I believe it has done much better. The Lillypilly cleanser is gorgeous and so is the macadamia moisturiser.

I've had a couple of massage treatments with Li'tya products...they are lovely...but I can't see myself using them at home. Have seen them at quite a few day spas.

Never heard of it before!

Cinq Mondes has a new(ish) product called Rain of Rose Petals Softening Body Lotion. It's a body moisturiser with a "Moroccan rose" scent. Sounds heavenly and comes in a pretty pink bottle. Available at Mecca. Pricey but I'd love to try it.

Didnt PCC say she bought a few of their products? Wonder if this was one of them?

Here's a list Allison! Unfortunately, the list of companies that test on animals is extensive :( They include L'Oreal (which includes Biotherm, Lancome, Ralph Lauren and Redken), Coty (they make a million of our favourite perfumes), Neutrogena, Olay, Calvin Klein and Elizabeth Arden. My principles tell me to avoid these companies....but the reality is a lot harder :(

Although I don't agree with testing on animals -not with make-up or skincare anyway (medical science I can see the necessity), but logistically, listing these companies is difficult - especially as you also have to consider that cosmetic companies that claim to not test on animals would have suppliers - and you would never know if these suppliers tested on animals. :question:
FYI: I had an argument with a colleague of mine who used to work for a laboratory and she said they tested on animals in the most horrible way "under the radar". She is not an animal lover - if you know what I mean, and said they used to feed the local "strays" (cats), and if they needed to do animal testing they would just go outside and find one.:no:
I was disgusted (I own two beautiful cats - and suggested to her that some of these might have been pet without collars etc :( ), but she said I was naive to think that (cruel) animal testing shouldn't or didn't occur these days (said she had spoken to friends who still work there, and it still goes on, and she wouldn't say who the company was ).

The Lillypilly cleanser is gorgeous and so is the macadamia moisturiser.Ah... have heard of Baime. Li'tya won't send samples, but they're working on it.

I purchased a moisturiser from Baime and it's the only product that's ever gone 'mouldy' on me. :redcheeks:

Got a sample of Clinique's All About Eyes Rich (thanks PCC for the heads-up on this) with a mag and have tried it over a couple of days. Has a nice texture and is very moisturising but too rich for me. Hey, they weren't kidding!

I love all things Stella McCartney. Just noticed she has released a new skincare range. Spotted on Sephora website.
It's all organice and 'green'. Foaming cleanser and moisturising fluid both contain glycerin and alcohol. Am I stupid? Do beauty products need them? It makes me think 'they're all the same so I might as well buy J&J'. Hmmf.

http://www.sephora.com/browse/brand_hierarchy.jhtml?brandId=5856

Hi there! Interesting looking range. I checked out the ingredients of the Foaming Cleanser and despite the addition of alcohol and glycerin this is packed with a host of natural ingredients too. Glycerin is a humectant, so attracts moisture to the skin. Alcohol might be included for its preservative qualities or to reduce oily residue from the oilier ingredients??? Wonder if we will see this range in Australia?

Many of the extremely "natural" ranges (including Dr Hauschka and Jurlique) include alcohol in their formulas, as a carrier and preservative for the plant ingredients. So perhaps it's in the Care range for the same reason.
http://www.adorebeauty.com.au/adorebeauty/brand_dr.hauschka_faq.asp#alcohol
Q: Why do some of the Dr. Hauschka Skin Care products contain alcohol?

A: Herbs and flowers are the core of Dr.Hauschka Skin Care preparations and many are extracted in a mixture of alcohol and water. Dr.Hauschka products contain high quality alcohol distilled from fermented fruits, potatoes or grain. It is denatured with essential oils of rose or rosemary.

This alcohol is distinctly different from the isopropyl alcohol that is commonly found in cosmetics. Isopropyl alcohol is synthesized from mineral oil, toxic if consumed and drying to the skin. Isopropyl alcohol is never used in Dr.Hauschka Skin Care products.

The percentage of alcohol found in our products does not approach a concentration that is harmful in any way and is not drying to the skin. As the carrier of healing plant extracts, the alcohol is part of our carefully composed formulations. A natural emulsifier and stabilizer, alcohol acts as a preservative and helps ingredients like essential oils to penetrate the skin.

I understand the preservative thing but at what point do you think alcohol becomes a problem? ie: drying for the skin. Where in the ingrediants list should it be listed. I always thought preservatives were listed at the end?

Ingredients lists show the ingredients in order from highest to lowest concentrations. Preservatives usually come at the end because they are present in minuscule amounts (e.g. 0.1%). With the Dr.Hauschka products, alcohol will appear higher up the list because they use it as a carrier for the distilled plant concentrates... however the products don't list percentage concentrations.

I'm not sure if there is a "maximum" alcohol percentage before the product becomes drying. In my 3 years of experience with Dr.Hauschka, I've only ever seen one product allergy (and that was to a plant extract), and we've never had any complaints about the products being drying - generally we find them excellent for clients with sensitive or reactive skin. Can't speak for the Stella McCartney range though, of course :)

I'm talking about all products in general. Get your super beauty powers out!
If alcohol is the first ingrediant listed then it has the highest % of product, that's not good is it? What about if you can smell the alcohol in it?

You wouldn't see many face products with alcohol as the first ingredient... maybe some nasty toners from a brand I won't name, but otherwise anything with alcohol as the first ingredient would most likely be a perfume or a nail polish remover or something like that. If you can SMELL the alcohol, that is probably not a good sign ;)

I know the brand you are referring to Kate which I also will not name. Your statement hit me like a lightening bolt and without even knowing the ingrdients I knew this one would have alcohol denate as the first listing in the ingredient list. I haven't used it for a few years but left the bottle in the back of my cupboard thinking I might use it one day. I just tipped it down the sink as my skin really didn't like it anyway.

Check the igrdients in your toners girls. Some of these with a lot of alcohol are down right nasty!

I'm not sure if these are new products or if i just haven't seen them before. I was browsing my local Priceline and was looking at the "She" section and they have a new skincare range which main ingredient is rosehip oil. They have a moisturiser, toner, cleaners and then they have a face serum treatment and an eye serum aswell i think. It was reasonably priced so when i run out of my current skincare products i;m onto She because i have dry skin the rosehip will be wonderful for my crusty skin. Also the packages and a beautriful pink colour.

i've seen the alba organic range in mags a few times. im not sure if its new but it seems to be as i havent seen it before. has anyone ever tried this range??

Yes I have used Alba. It is an off shoot of Akin.
I liked the scrub & the Pinapple Enzyme peeling mask is gentle but effective but my skin was not a fan of the milk cleanser.

This new range of L'Occitane sounds heavenly. Not sure if already here in Oz?

http://usa.loccitane.com/product/product.asp?product=29HD200A7

Sounds Gorgeous! Let me know if anyone spots this is Australia. I will suss out my local boutique that sells L'Ocittane also.

Hi PCC , i noticed on another thread that u had the new DJ's organic range [ or one thing ?] , what is it like ? expensive ? :spin:

Yes I have used Alba. It is an off shoot of Akin.
I liked the scrub & the Pinapple Enzyme peeling mask is gentle but effective but my skin was not a fan of the milk cleanser.where abouts did u find this range Medusa ?

I have seen bits of it in chemists & health food stores. Certain lines are always sold out, so either the rep is very slack or its hot cakes. Its very resonably priced & smells tropical.
http://albaorganics.com/?title=Hawaiian

thanks medusa , i went to the website a few days ago & emailed them for a location . Am yet to hear from them, looks like a goer , i love tropical smells

Totally Agree, about time!

I spotted this range yesterday in a beauty salon, Nimue. The BT said it was a South Afrian brand big on active ingrediants. Has anyone heard of this range before?

This was in the Sunday Herald Sun Body & Soul magazine thingy in January - beyond that I am no help - sorry!

I remember because even though I am not a foundation user, the product they were talking about sounded so good I thought it would be worth a try.

I saw an intermediate-priced, "all-natural" brand in Priceline but I can't for the life of me remember the name of it! I do know it's from New Zealand and it has a Maori-sounding name. Looked nice!

That's Living Nature. Its really good, I have used it before. They have recently revamped the packaging.

Yes! That's the one! It wasn't cheap and it did look very nice. I thought you'd know, Medusa!

Haha not exactly a Maori-sounding name though....

Living Nature in Priceline? Wonderful - this is a fabulous brand for anyone into organics. Great for sensitive or break-out skin too, due to their use of soothing and anti-bacterial Manuka honey. I hope it is stocked in Perth, their priceline range always seems to be the last to get interesting stock- if at all!

I have been a lurker for some time so thought it high time that I posted. I spent 2 years in NZ and so wanted to like the Living Nature products but just couldn't stand the smell. I had previously used Jurlique and was looking for a natural range so gave it a try. Can't remember exactly what products I used but my super sensitive skin also wasn't happy!

I find that "all-natural" products can be really irritating for your skin. Even things like Dermalogica can be irritating because of all the essential oils.

Was in DJs today & spotted a new skincare range... although not sure how super new... just have never seen it before... it's called Pennington. And as I like to use more naturally based products & was an oz brand... this grabbed my eye... :spin:
Tried a bit of the moisturiser for Combo skin on my hand, & it seemed to sink into my skin really well... obviously I need to try it on my face too, but that's how I test alot of moisturisers first. If they feel greasy & heavy on the back of my hand... they fail the test for my combination skin... :shakehead:

Anyone tried their range or heard anything about it?
Here's a link...

http://www.penningtoncosmetics.com/about.aspx

Pennington has been around for 12 months or so. We were offered it for Adore but I wasn't all that excited by it. They do have these cool "detox" foot patches though.

While not currently new products, thought you might be interested in these articles. The first one talks about a new device designed to measure moisture levels in the skin and the second one is about using amino acids for lightening/brightening skin. Hydroquinine that is mentioned in the artilce, by the way, is actually still available in Australia but I believe at the 2% strength.

Annick Goutal has released a skin and body range, see:

http://www.aedes.com/brand.php?cat_id=3

Soo if you're into organic and natural type products, you might be interested in Mukti. I have used the Sebogel (really good to get rid of blemishes) and the Gentle Face Exfoliant. I can honestly say it is the best exfoliator I have ever used and left my skin feel so beautiful and soft. As soon as I finish my current exfoliant I'm definitely going to purchase this again!

Wowee, Nivea is launching a new Oxygen based skin care range. Despite this being a "supermarket" brand, Beiersdorf spends a truck load on reseach!

I noticed the bosy shop had a new Aloe Vera skin care range for sensitive skin. I haven't purchased any yet i think i might wait until winter comes calling.

i have tried teh new body shop range and it is nice. the moisturiser is really nice, leaves skin soft and hydrated. cleanser i found was a little bit weasel as i need a foamey one to get my colorstay off :rollthoseeyes:

I bought the Body Shop Aloe Vera foaming cleanser and found it way too drying for my combination skin. :redcheeks: It is such a shame to just throw it out. Maybe I could use it on my makeup brushes?

i find in summer i can get away with products like that , wait until then & see

The Body Shop have a new range called Wise Woman. It comes in gold packaging and is supposedly their premium range of skincare. They say it is for mature skin but it felt so good I decided I would buy it anyway. I think it would be good for anyone with slightly dry skin at this time of year. I got the cleanser, softening lotion and serum all for $110!

I am eagerly awaiting your verdict on this PCC! :penguin:

I was in priceline today and saw loreal has a new makeup remover. Its called cashmere milk or something like that and I was very intrigued by it. On the back it also states its good for all skin types. I think they have a separate one for stubborn makeup like waterproof mascara and long wearing lipstick ect. I just wondered though, I use regular cleansing wipes to remover my makeup and then cleanse as normal with my gel cleaner. Do you adorables think its better to use a product designed especially for makeup removal?

Hey Serena, I think it's a personal choice. If your gel cleanser and wipes remove all your makeup (and you don't have any sensitivity issues) you probably don't need a separate one. I only use mine if I've had serious smokey eyes or waterproof mascara on.

I always use a makeup remover to take off all my makeup (loving Dermalogica precleanse at the moment) and then follow with my cleansing routine. I use Clinique's Take the day off Lips, lids and lashes to remove all my eye makeup. For some reason I just can't bring myself to use a celanser to take off my makeup. On the rare occasions that I do I make sure I cleanse twice.

Well I bought two packets of gentle cleansing wipes today so will have to use them up first anyways! Might give it a go sometime though and see if it makes a difference, but right now the cleansing wipes take off my makeup well so not complaining! I think I was just itching to buy something new too :penguin:

I used some cleansing wipes last night for the first time in ages just to take my makeup off before cleansing and my skin didn't like it at all. I used the vitamin E ones from Priceline which I have used before without any drama but last night my face went extremely red and angry! It settled after I used my Clarins Cleansing Cream with Gentian but don't think I will be using the wipes again in a hurry. Anyone else had a similar experience?

I wouldn't buy the priceline ones again. Despite being good value I don't feel they are wet enough and tend to drag. They also leave my skin a bit prickly. When I use them I choose the Nivea or J&J ones.

I hardly ever use them Luisa anyway but have to say I do like the nivea gentle ones best of all.

Ive used the dove cleansing wipes which cleanse tone and moisturise. There really gentle which is nice, but for removing makeup I like the Loreal purezone ones as I think they help zap some of the oil off my face at the same time which is good for me!

I bought some purezone wipes for Miss Lazy Laura today!

I was in priceline today and saw loreal has a new makeup remover. Its called cashmere milk or something like that and I was very intrigued by it. On the back it also states its good for all skin types. I think they have a separate one for stubborn makeup like waterproof mascara and long wearing lipstick ect. I just wondered though, I use regular cleansing wipes to remover my makeup and then cleanse as normal with my gel cleaner. Do you adorables think its better to use a product designed especially for makeup removal?

Serena, are these the ones in the tube? I saw a "professional range" of Loreal products at Myer the other day - intriguing!

when i used wipes i loved the nivea , found them the most gentle yet they were effective

My sister just called in to say a quick hello. :hugs: She has been o/s for the past 6 weeks on business. Whilst on a shopping spree she spotted the latest Estee Lauder Re-Nutriv products that are hailed as the most advanced skincare on the market presently. My sister is a beauty-a-nista shop-a-holic just like us and when she spotted these products thought of me straight away. :chuckle: The 2 products consist of a day cream and night cream. They replace all other products ie; serums/masks/eye cream/neck cream etc.......... The regime is simply to cleanse then use relevant cream. My sister has been using these products for the last 4 weeks and I swear she looks sensational given that she has been putting in 14 hour days and just landed from a 25 hour flight. :shockedhair: The appauling news is that these creams cost US$900. What a great gift from a loving sis! :kissing:

Hi Luisa, yepp i think their the same ones you saw.. actually now thinking about it i think their called derma expertise or something and in a tube like you said...

Lucky you charismatic!!! Wow I cant imagine spending that much on a cream in my life. That would be an experience ! let us know how they work on you ~ :)

I already have the Cleanser, softening lotion (toner complete with real gold flakes), serum, eye cream and day cream from the Estee Lauder Re-Nutirv range. I bought it last friday and posted about it on here. I got the cream along with 15ml eye cream, serum and moisturiser in a box set for around $450 I think. The Softening lotion was an additional $95! It's expensive but it is beautiful!

Hi Luisa, yepp i think their the same ones you saw.. actually now thinking about it i think their called derma expertise or something and in a tube like you said...

I bought the cleansing wipes in this range Serena. It is a black pack with sealing plastic thing (which I think is great). They are called De-maq expert and state that they are more concentrated in cleansing ingredients than a regular wipe and even remove waterproof makeup.

Charismatic, you are such a lucky thing! Be sure to report back!

WOW way to go big sister !!!! how cool charismatic :penguin:

Dr Hauschka rose day cream light - is a new product, tested today feels very much like the quince day cream texture. moisturising though like its regular rose day cream formula. will be my next purchase.

Oh I didnt see the wipes Luisa... might have to keep a look out for them, Im sure they'll appear in priceline eventually. How are you liking them?

Hi Ladies,

It's been a while since I last posted anything, sorry for being so unsocial:(
I've also been on the vogue forum a bit and recently us voguettes received a sample of Skinsilk-A, a concentrated retinol product. I've tried a few different brands to treat my acne scarring and blemishes and I haven't been happy with the results so I was a bit weary about what to expect with this product. A friend of mine had tried it earlier and was very pleased with the results so when the opportunity to receive samples presented itself, I gave it a go. I have to say that I'm thrilled with the results!! My complexion has improved and my scars are less red. I understand that I have to use this for a couple months to get the results I want but so far I'm sold on this product. I have also posted a product review for those interested. However I don't think this product is suitable for sensitive skin.

If you love Vit A check out the Skinceuticals and Ultraceuticals brands on Adore. They're just AWESOME!! :hugs::whipcrack:

Tom Ford is releasing yet another Lucsious range of make-up for sprin. It has just been launched as of Sunday. Auzuree Soliee I think it's call from memeory. The colours are just DEVINE!! espeshly the soiree range.

Hi Serena! I got mine from a chemist but I have also seen them at Myer. It is a black pack called De-maq expert and they have a plastic closure that keeps them moist. They contain 40 wipes instead of the usual 25 so are great value at around the $10 mark. Seriously, I have never used a more effective wipe and even though I cant use Loreal's eye makeup remover these do not irritate my eyes and are as good as a regular cleanser for removing makeup. The pack says they are more concentrated in cleansing ingredients.

Oooh my fave fragrance, Carolina Herrera 212, contains gardenia petals. I often find that gardenia petals, as opposed to the gardenia note itself, is a really soft, wearable note. I must seek it out!

Oh my GOD I love 212 on men. Haven't come across it in sooo long but I just ADORE it. Particularly good on olive skin... mmmmm when I was 18 and worked at Myer I used to have a spray card doused in 212 for Men in my car at all times!!!

Do you guys remember ages ago when I wrote about the Boots No7 serum that had proven results and sold out within minutes in the UK? Even got a mention here in the papers. Here is another article re its launch in the US.

Wow.

A new delivery system for skin care products taken from medicines. Good results with AHA based products.

Where do you get this Fusspot? I have never heard of it before.

i found it at my local chemist , the stuff comes out almost like jelly , so it seems quite good value , quite a strong essential oil smell though , i am going to give some of the skin care a whirl soon , do u want me to send u a brochure ?

Is there a website?

I might be really behind the 8-ball on this, but I notices for the first time that Living Nature now do makeup. Pity it isn't available in Perth Pricelines :(

Is there a website?

Yes, for sure! i am just trying to work out how i am ever going to try them all out :question:

In a magazine - Garnier Skin NAturals Nutritionist Omega Skin Renew - can't remember what it has in it, or what it does, but it's the line I have the moisturiser & eye cream from - I want it!

I've used this moisturiser before, smells lovely.

I know the Sept issue came out today but did anyone see the snippet in the Aug issue of New Woman on the new Bvlgari skin care? Apparently contains "precious stones" (???) in the formulations and is being released in Italy shortly. Prices START at $100!

I've just received a box of samples from the range Antipodes. It is the new range at Kit cosmetics and is natural and certified organic skin care. Looks amazing and I can't wait to try it. It's made in New Zealand also!

Relax Luisa, I am going to wait a while before I try it and keep my skin care routine simple until my skin calms down!!

www.antipodesnature.com

Wow, that looks fabulous PCC! Right up my alley.
So Kit is going to stock? Did they say when?
I'm loving the ingrediants & the price points are great too.

It's already in store at Kit I believe. Funny thing was as soon as I saw it I though of you straight away Medusa! Thought this range might tickle your fancy.

I tried the Antipodes stuff a while back, it's quite nice. From memory it's based on NZ avocado oil.

Hi Kate,



Get Well Soon!

Before I put this up for you all, I would just like to say:

No. No! Hell NO! :whipcrack:

As you would expect I have a few cleansers to get through (:redcheeks:) but I really want to try the Cashmere Milk Complete Make-up Remover. It sounds really effective and gentle. I am not keen on dense eye makeup removers in a cream or gel form.

I wanted to try this but instead I brought the new Napoleon Perdis Duet Eye Makeup Remover. I couldn't help myself. And I find it confusing that their were so many different make-up removers of the new loreal ones. There are like 4 of them!

No, not really confusing, check the link again, there are (albeit) subtle differences between them.

Just checked the link now LB, thanks for the info. :waving:
I'm not a fan of the whole 2 in 1 toner one, that just makes me feel like it would give you that whole tight feeling around your eye. The milk one sounds the best to me.

I so badly want the Cashmere Milk one....................... and it just so happens I am in the market for a new cleanser :clapping:

Now skin care manufacturers believe that by adding fragrance to our lotions and potions, that they are infact putting us in a better mood?

http://www.cosmeticsdesign-europe.com/news/printNewsBis.asp?id=79977

I can understand that LB.
The sent of something can remind of of good past experiences, but still think fragrance is totally unnecessary.

A'kin have a new anti-oxidant moisturiser. to view full details check out purist dot com

now , i have been using [exclusively] Arbonne products for the past few days [yes it has NEARLY killed me]

it came out here from the US [where it is big] mid year , the products seem to make my skin smooth [very much so] , they r vegan safe products , that r botanically based

but it seems to have a silicone like effect on the skin , similar to a max factor product out ages ago
in the ingredients lists , glycerin factors in big - & many forms of it [or just names]
does anyone have any feedback from using this type of product or any info about silicone or large amounts of glycerine in skin care :rollthoseeyes: :waving:

Dont know anything about silicones in skin care fussy. Glycerin is usually added for its humectant properties ie its ability to attract water to the skin. Possibly not for oilier skins or those prone to breakout as it may block the pores??

Hi again,

O I thought you could use the Liquid Gold Daily or nightly rather. Is this one for during the day and the normal LG for night?? Can you use them together??

Hi TBA!

This one is for the day. It contains amino peptides and flower acids. You would more than likely use your original LG at night. I imagine this one is serum-like. In a 40ml bottle it would want to be! Will let you know when I get more details.:waving:

Seriously there is so much skincare around in those freaky little touristy type shops with kiwifruit and manuka honey in them that it kinda puts me off. I can just image an american stocking up on that kinda stuff...:chuckle:

One thing I CAN tell you is that Rebecca Morrice Williams (founder of BECCA) is going to be on the forum in a couple of weeks :penguin:

Hahahaha I'll take twelve! And I'll bathe in it! They don't have an "ass-reducing gel" do they?? A "boob-growth gel"? A "get-a-date gel"?

Wowee, Nivea is launching a new Oxygen based skin care range. Despite this being a "supermarket" brand, Beiersdorf spends a truck load on reseach!

I wrote this back in July last year and it is finally making an appearance in a store near you. Pity the au nivea website has not updated its page but this one gives you the rundown and the prices.

Do we really buy all this "oxygen" stuff?? I just don't get how it is anything more than a gimmick!

Well it doesnt look an an exfoliating tool but it supposedly cleans better than the leading cleanser! It is Neutrogena's Wave Deep Clean Power Cleanser.

Looks interesting! And its pink...:o

I'm not sure if it's a "new" brand, but I spotted a range of acne-fighting products at a chemist the other day called Lalisse. They seemed to be all based on natural ingredients and had these two acne serums, 1 & 2. 1 could be used 3 times a day and 2 seemed to be more potent and could be used 3 times a day for 3 or 4 days and then a break. They were really well priced and looked really interesting. They also had a peel off mask containing natural ingredients as well as tricolosan for about $24.95. Could be left on for 20 minutes, which is also a plus, I like to really relax with a mask and sometimes with clay ones the ten minutes just flies by!

Lalisee has been around for a few years now, and I remember using the cleanser, one of the serums and peel off mask. From what I remember (this was a few years back) the products did work, but having bad acne, the problem wasnt going to be solved by using just products externally. I think I stopped using them not because they didnt work, but they werent available from chemists a few years back, and it was just hard trying to get them ordered as i was at school. I also remember the products had a distinctive smell of chinese herbs if you know what I mean, but the ingredients were great! :typing:

NARS has released a new body care product called Essential Oil Infused Therapy Soak: http://www.narscosmetics.com/acb/stores/1/Essential-oil--infused-therapy-soak-C460_category_11.aspx?s=tsoak

Sounds lovely, but can only imagine what it would cost over here if it's $75 US!

For all you Lucas Paw Paw Ointment fans there is now a Petrochemical free version.
It is still called Paw Paw Ointment but it is made by Pure Nutraceuticals and also contains Calendula. Only seen it advertised in the newspaper but ad says avail in health food stores & pharmacies. Its in a black tube with red writing.

Is this the one in the yellow and white tube?

No. That's not what I wrote.

U didnt write that? What happened?!

No. That's not what I wrote.

That's odd - I'm sure the post I read did not have the last bit. Did you add it later? Or maybe I'm just too tired to read properly - especially since I am being naughty and not wearing my glasses :redcheeks:

That is very very strange!!!

Thanks for clearing that up – and please don’t snap at me next time M – I thought I’d said or done something really stupid. :hugs:

Yes I must admit I wondered what Sapphy had said/done!!

I'm sorry I didn't mean for it to sound like that. :redcheeks: I just tried to quote myself to show the details clearly but it wouldn't let me do it without typing something? So I guess it looks bad. Sorry :hugs:

In this months Elle two products caught my eye:
-A new bath & body company called Kathleen Lewis which has oils such as Verbana and Sage.
-Mor's soap company....the packaging is absolutly gorgeous.
Has anybody tried either of these????

I love MOR soaps. They have a great amount of scent in them and really leave your hands smelling great. They also have such a great range of smells.

I've always been an admirer of MOR but never a buyer!

Chilli in your skin care? Claims that it helps the skin absorb active ingredients.

What are they going to think of next! :chuckle: I'd be paranoid that it'd burn my skin, even though they say it doesn't ....

Oh I'm so happy to hear that the MOR soaps are good. The packaging is gorgeous. So now the question is what scent should I buy first....any recommendations?????
