Give your locks some extra loving during the colder winter months to enjoy healthy, shiny hair all year round.

As the weather turns cooler in the southern hemisphere, it’s not just your skin that needs extra care and protection. Your hair is also braving the elements and crying out for a little extra TLC. The following tips will help you keep your hair healthy and in top condition. (For More Info on Products Please Click on Name)

Do not shampoo your hair too often.
One of the most common mistakes people make in winter is shampooing their hair too often. Just as your skin, your hair and scalp tend to be drier in winter therefore use gentle products and reduce the frequency of washing your hair.

Use gentle nourishing products.
The type of styling products you use on your hair will make a big difference in the overall health of your hair. Use nourishing gentle products that will not dry out or damage the hair. Oils are fantastic to reduce static and frizz and use shine sprays to avoid hair looking dry and brittle.

Go easy with your hairdryer.
Overusing your hairdryer can damage and dry the hair out. Try to blow dry your hair as little as possible. When you do use your hairdryer, try using the ‘cool’ setting which is gentler on the hair.

Discover the E-One! IPL Permanent Hair Removal

Discover the E-One!

Australia’s first and only medically approved permanent hair reduction device for personal use at home

Waxing, shaving, plucking, the lengths we go to for smooth, hair-free skin are the least inspiring parts of the modern woman’s beauty life, not to mention the most
painful. But rushing to remove the last leg hair before an event is not a good look for anyone.

Ladies, listen up! It is the perfect time to get permanently hair-free for striking a pose on the beach this summer. Introducing the E-One, the first and only medically approved IPL hair removal device certified for personal use at home.
When it comes to hair removal, there is no other device that is guaranteed to provide you with a more personal, pain free, userfriendly experience than the E-One.
Designed and manufactured in France, the E-One will permanently reduce hair growth and can be used in the privacy and comfort of your own home.

Using Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) technology, the E-One comes with everything you would expect from a professional salon treatment; ensuring results are just as effective, without the cost.

Its sleek design makes it even more appealing. The flash lamp of the E-One is able to target a wider range of hair from blond, brown to dark colours, on a wide range of skin types from fair skin through to dark skin.

The technology present in the E-One is the same technology used in larger, more expensive professional machines found in beauty clinics. One of the E-One’s benefits is being able to perform permanent hair reduction in the comfort of your home, at a time that is convenient for you. The E-One gives you the privacy and peace of mind that can often be lost when having hair removal treatments in a salon.

No more having to make an appointment with your beautician. Both men and women no longer have to feel embarrassed going to the beautician, taking their clothes off and undergoing IPL treatments. The E-One can also be used on all areas of the body including bikini lines, face, armpits, leg, etc.
Yet, another benefit of the E-One is the time and money you will save. IPL and laser treatments in salons can cost up to $70 for a five minute treatment.

Other methods such as waxing may seem cheaper in the short term, but if you add up the cost ofthese services over a period of years, you will soon see that the E-One is more affordable and, of course, the results are permanent.

So, don’t let rogue curlies ruin your favourite bikini! Become smooth soft and fur-free once and for all with the E-One.

Available online at http://www.e-one.com.au or over the phone on 07 3607 0032.
Sold for $2495 with finance option available of $499 per month for 5 months.
Colour available in lime green, pink fuschia and dark blue.

Ildiko

What was your first impression of the Product?
I am always on the lookout for a good hand cream. I opened the bottle with excitement, since the ingredients sounded promising. My first impression was: Pure luxury! What a beautiful fragrance! Not too strong, not overwhelming just perfect.

What was your experience using the product?
My hands love it very much. My skin soaks it up very quickly. Since I have sensitive skin, the harsh Australian sun can cause dryness quickly. As soon as I apply the cream all the discomfort disappears. I also love the fact that the hand cream is not greasy.  Even my finger nails are nourished by it.

The container has 100 ml cream in it. It is quite a generous size, so it last quite a long time. I appreciate the natural ingredients. It gives me peace of mind, that I don’t poison myself through my skin. Instead I nourish my most vulnerable organ, my skin.

Claudia

What was your first impression of the Product?

What benefit does this product have compared to others you have used in the past?
I never had another product for my feet that had peppermint in it. So I really enjoy the cooling effect of this wonderful cream. I had a little wound on my feet that did not want to heal. Most probably the antioxidants and Vitamin A and E went into action, because the wound got smaller and smaller after every application and within a week it disappeared. I was very happy with that.

Essential Stuff Pomegranate & Lemon Fusion Body Wash
250ml AUD $23.95

Gently cleanse your skin with a fusion of the essential oils of lemon myrtle, lemon tea tree and lemon grass to enliven your senses. With a touch of sweet and exotic jasmine fragrances, this rich and gentle body wash is enriched with Aloe Vera and the wonders of pomegranate to hydrate your skin and protect against ageing.

Ildiko

What was your first impression of the Product?
Once again, PURE LUXURY.

What was your experience using the product?
I don’t like to use soaps in my shower. I always using Body Wash for the reason, that it is gentler on my skin, and it is not drying it out. I loved the smell of the gentle herbs in it. I did not need to use a lot to have a luxurious shower that is always refreshing me.

What benefit does this product have compared to others you have used in the past?
The benefit comes from the fact that it is again, natural ingredients. The harsh chemical ones always dried my skin, after towelling I felt that my skin was burning, it appeared red and dry, also had a tightening feeling for a while, that made me feel very uncomfortable. All these effects are non existing with this beautiful Body Wash.

Would you recommend this product to others? Why?
The answer is YES.  Everybody needs some gentle, nourishing pampering time to time. Starting with this luxurious Body Wash we can start off on that road. When our senses are heightened we can have a happy start for the day. Enjoy!

What Star Rating will you give this product based on your experience with it? (Out of 5)
I happily give 5 stars. *****

Brigitta

What was your first impression of the Product?
Disappointment.  From the rest of the range I was expecting a much better scent. But not a bad body wash.

What was your experience using the product?
It foamed up well, spread easily, came off well, it didn’t strip the skin too much. But after smelling and using the other products in the range  must say the scent really was a let down. Imagine a plasticky pomegranate, and that’s what it smells like.

What benefit does this product have compared to others you have used in the past?
It was actually a good body wash and doesn’t feel all chemically like others so I would still use it but would probably not buy it again.

Would you recommend this product to others? Why?
Maybe, if you like the smell then maybe, like I said its not a bad body wash but just not the best.

What Star Rating will you give this product based on your experience with it? (Out of 5)
3/5

Claudia

What was your experience using the product?
The body wash did not have a sweet smell which I would have like but the fact that it is natural outweighs that fact. It feels very refreshing to shower with.

What benefit does this product have compared to others you have used in the past?
I have sensitive skin so I cannot use many chemicals. This I found to be quite good for my skin and did not dry it out or irritate it.

Would you recommend this product to others? Why?
I would recommend this to others as it really hydrates your skin.

What Star Rating will you give this product based on your experience with it? (Out of 5)
I would give this a 3.5 star rating.

Nichole

What was your first impression of the Product?
•    Small non bulky bottle
•    No-mess dispenser
•    Simple packaging

What was your experience using the product?
•    Small amount of foaming
•    Pleasant scent
•    Moisturises, does not leave skin dehydrated and feeling tight
•    Thick consistency

What benefit does this product have compared to others you have used in the past?
•    Moisturises while cleansing

Would you recommend this product to others? Why?
•    For those who like foaming, this product can take some time to get used to. It looks and feels different to standard body wash, and therefore if you’re ok with it, I would recommend to others.

Cheryl

What were your first impressions of the Masque?

How did you find the application and use of the Masque?  I found the masque a little difficult to use. When I am in the shower, then have to open a jar and scoop product out, it is more difficult than squeezing it out of a bottle.

Cheryl

What were your first impressions of the Shampoo?
I liked the shape of the bottle, but thought it rather small

How did you find the application and use of the Shampoo?
This shampoo is VERY concentrated, only a tiny amout is needed. It took me a few uses to remember to take a very small amount. It foams well

How did you find the texture and smell of the Shampoo?

The Body Shop Aloe Gentle Facial Wash 125ml, $17.95

The Body Shop Aloe Gentle Facial Wash is a mild and creamy soap-free cleansing lotion. It leaves the skin feeling soft, supple and smooth. It can be used on all skin types including sensitive skin. It contains canola oil, which works to dissolve the impurities of the day, with the properties of aloe vera working to sooth and refresh the skin.
To use, massage over the face and neck, using fingertips. Wipe away using a tissue or rinse off with clean water.

Anna

Nice compact pump-nozzle bottle – would be great for travelling.

How did you find the application and use of the Facial Wash?
The facial wash came out of the bottle as a whitish foam, which lathered a bit more on application.  Very creamy and one pump was plenty for the whole face.  It washed quite well, but didn’t remove all traces of eye makeup.  My skin felt a little tight and dry afterwards, but after moisturising it felt fine.
The slight smell was quite fresh – a greeny, herby smell.  Pleasant.  The soft foam was very easy to spread over the face and didn’t irritate even my eye area.

Did you notice any benefits from using this Facial Wash as opposed to others you have used in the past?
This cleanser is superior to other foaming cleansers I have tried in the past – but overall I prefer a creamier cleanser to be a bit kinder to my skin and take off my makeup.

If Price would be of no concern, would you purchase this Facial Wash for yourself in the future?
Yes – I think it would be handy to have in your cosmetics bag for going away.

Out of five, what star rating would you give this Facial Wash based on your experience with it?
4 Stars – a really nice foaming cleanser and the inclusion of aloe vera makes it more suitable to drier or sensitive skins than most foaming cleansers if you want to go that way.

How did you find the texture and smell of the Lipstick?
Smells okay, but I didn’t like the tingling sensation of the plumping ingredients at all – was like putting chilli paste on your lips.  The feeling wore off after a while – but it was uncomfortable to start with.

Did you notice any benefits from using this Lipstick as opposed to others you have used in the past?
It did definitely make my lips look plumper.

Nivea My Silhouette Body Refining Gel

Filed under All Reviews, Body Care Reviews

Nivea My Silhouette Body Refining Gel 200ml, $11.90

This gel cream with innovative Bio-Slim Complex delivers visible results in just four weeks! From the age of 25, our bodies start changing in two very important ways:
Pregnancy and decreasing hormone production means that fat cells in sub-cutaneous tissue multiply and expand. Cells begin to lose their ability to renew themselves completely and collagen fibres reproduce at a slower rate. As a result, the body starts to lose its definition, tightness and firmness.

After years of research, stringent testing and screening in the Beiersdorf laboratories, Hamburg, NIVEA is proud to introduce new NIVEA body My Silhouette! This high performance body product firms and refines body contours using the innovative Bio-Slim Complex technology.
NIVEA body My Silhouette! should be applied once or twice daily on the thighs, hips, waist and stomach. It does not need to be massaged into the skin, as the gel-cream formula makes it easy to apply.

Annie – Age:29, Skin Type: Normal/Combination

What were your first impressions of the Body Gel?
It has a nice packaging, quite big tube plus 200ml and only $11.90 is really cheap for a good brand.
How did you find the application and use of the Body Gel?
It’s a gel consistency, making it easy to apply. I used it on my breasts, legs and stomach.  After 4 days, I noticed certain smoothness in these areas and they’re a bit firmer too. Well, so far so good. I hope the areas where I focus on would improve even more if I use this product for a long term.

How did you find the texture and smell of the Body Gel?
It has a nice texture and the smell is divine l which I love.

If Price would be of no concern, would you purchase this Body Gel for yourself in the future?
As it’s really cheap for the size and good brand name, I would love to purchase it for myself and highly recommend it to my friends too.

Out of five, what star rating would you give this Body Gel based on your experience with it?
5 Stars for me but I would give 6 stars if I could to this gorgeous product.

Livia’s Review

This is by far the most beautiful nail polish I have used in a while!  I got so many comments wearing it and It also went with a lot of my outfits too. I found it extremely versatile and beautiful The colour is not too intense however it is different enough to draw attention to the nails without distracting from an outfit.

The nail polish wore very well, I applied two coats followed by a top coat. It lasted 6 days without any chipping and almost another 4 days before it started looking a bit shabby. Overall I waas very pleased both with the colour and the wearability of this nail polish and I loved wearing it. In fact I will keep wearing it until it runs out!  :-)

Love to Mum!

Being a mother can sometimes be a thankless job. All the hours of cleaning, washing and ironing not to mention all the cooking, counselling and many other duties of mothers can be taken for granted by the family. So it is nice to get the chance to be pampered and spoilt.
