Antipodes Juliet Skin-Brightening Gel Cleanser

-
Last month I tested out New Zealand brand Antipodes and their Aura Manuka Honey Mask (review) so this month I decided to try more from the brand. Juliet Skin-Brightening Gel Cleanser* (200ml £24.99) is an every day cleanser suitable for normal/oily skin types. The cleanser is said to brighten the complexion and reveal clean, clear and blemish free skin.

Ingredients such as New Zealand kiwifruit and hibiscus flower act as exfoliants, whilst antibacterial Manuka Honey and antioxidant rich Vinanza Grape work together to help reduce and balance oil production, giving your skin a radiant glow.

The first thing I noticed when using this product was the smell. The cleanser is lightly scented with green apple and cardamom, and honestly it smells like heaven....so nice! Unless you don't like apple of course! A lot of cleansers I've used in the past left my skin dry and tight feeling. This gel cleanser is NOT one of them. My skin was left feeling thoroughly cleansed and refreshed. Only a small amount is needed at a time so I think this bottle will last a good 6 months or more.



INGREDIENTS: Aqua (water), sodium cocoamphoacetate, glycerin, lauryl glucoside, sodium cocoyl glutamate, sodium lauryl glucose carboxylate - Plantapon SF®, caprylyl/capryl glucoside, coco-glucoside & glyceryl oleate, xantham gum, sclerotium gum (Amigel®), Anthemis nobilis (chamomile) extract, decyl glucoside, Persea gratissima (avocado) oil, Simmondsia chinensis (jojoba) seed oil, Phormium tenax (harakeke) seed oil, Hibiscus sabdariffa (hibiscus flower) extract, Vitis vinifera (Vinanza Oxifend® pinot noir grape skin) extract, Vinanza® Grape & Kiwi (Vitis vinifera (Vinanza® Grape grape seed) extract & Actinisis chinensis (kiwifruit seed) extract), Leptospermum scoparium mel (manuka honey) Active 20+, Camellia sinensis (green tea) extract, sodium citrate, Ribes nigrum (blackcurrant seed) oil, sodium benzoate, potassium sorbate, gluconolactone, sodium benzoate, essential oil fragrances of green apple & cardamon: benzyl alcohol†, cinnamal†, citral†, citronellol†, geraniol†, d-Limonene†, linalool†. † Component of essential oil

Look Fantastic Beauty Box - March Unboxing

Image
It has been ages since I've bought a Look Fantastic Beauty Box but after seeing some spoiler pictures on Facebook I decided to use my glossy credits to get this months box. Normally the box cost £15 including postage, with my glossy credits it took the price down a little to £9.35. The box this month is has a lovely white and blue design on top with a pinky purple base, which I will be keeping and reusing. It also comes with a copy of the latest Elle Magazine. From Rituals is Cherry Blossom & Rice Milk Soothing Hand Balm  70ml (£9.50)- a lovely floral lotion made with Shea Butter and Organic Rice Milk, the lotion replenishes and rejuvenates hands. Rituals are always a welcome brand I enjoy getting in boxes. Eos Lip Balm  7g (£6.50) in Strawberry Sorbet - Not actually a brand I've used before, but a handy balm to have in the makeup bag. Probably not something I would take out and about with me as I find the shape awkward for travel, I prefer small stick balms. This ba

Great weather calls for great sun protection with Alteya Orgaincs

I'm loving the great weather we've been having so far this week....has summer finally arrived!? With temperatures up to 30 degrees in Scotland and soaring up to 38 in parts of England by Thursday, sun protection is a MUST if you are planning to leave your house even if all you do is sit in your garden. Really you should be using an SPF product daily regardless of the weather...yes even if its raining! As an outdoor worker (postwoman) a good SPF is top of my list all year round but especially at this time of year! Alteya Organics Whole Body Sunscreen * (£13.40 for 90ml) is enriched with emollient botanical butters and oils to hydrate the skin and protect against damaging UVA and UVB sun rays which cause sunburn and premature aging. So what is SPF and why do we need it? SPF or sun protection factor measures the level of protection a product will give you and how much longer it will take your skin to burn when wearing sunscreen vs not wearing sunscreen. Alteya's Whole

Sukin Blemish Control Kit

My skin is quite prone to spots and blemishes so I really wanted to find a product that would help to control breakouts and reduce the redness I have. I've used Sukin products before but never knew they had a blemish control range until recently. The  Sukin Blemish Control Kit * (£19.95) contains 4 products to help calm and clear the skin, three are 50ml and one is 15ml so decent sized samples, and handy for travelling with. Clearing Facial Wash purifies the skin while removing dirt and impurities with Quince and Pomegranate. Pore Perfecting Toner refines and refreshes the skin with Eucalyptus, Tea Tree and Mint. Spot Banishing Gel helps to fight breakouts with Willowherb, Salicylic Acid and Eculyptus, while the  Oil Free Moisturiser clarifies and balances the skin with Willowherb, Quince and Moringa. Willowherb is said to fight the causes of blemishes in just 30 minutes! And while I didn't see a huge improvement that quickly, I did notice a big difference withi
