Product Review || Iluka Nourish cream cleanser.




I'm finally starting to realise that I no longer need "blemish control/acne fighting" cleansers or "oil free" moisturisers in my life.
Having now entered the "late 20's" age bracket, my skin is a changin' and I have had to go in search of a new cleanser that didn't strip my face of all its natural oils and leave it feeling tight and dried up.

I made a v-line to my local Priceline for a wander around and stumbled across the new Iluka range by Natalie Imbruglia. It's a gorgeous, all natural skincare line that is 100% Australian made. A big plus in my book. It's also paraben/sulphate free and there is most importantly no testing on animals!

The packaging was definitely eye catching sitting on the shelf, I think it has a high end look.

I wanted to try out a cream cleanser as they are a lot more hydrating on the skin. 
This particular one is beautiful! A nice subtle smell, not at all overwhelming. It was a little different to use than a foaming cleanser. This doesn't foam but it does feel great on the skin. It doesn't sting the eyes and once washed off, it doesn't leave any oily residue and my face still has that lovely washed fresh feeling.

I am yet to use it to see if it is any good at taking off makeup (I love my Body Shop Camomile cleansing butter for makeup removal) but as my morning wake me up... It. Is. Love.

The Iluka range carries everything from day/night/eye creams, cleansers, toners, exfoliators, oils, a primer and a lip care product.

I am definitely keen to try out the day and night cream and the eye serum.
If this one cleanser is anything to go by, they will be making a regular appearance on my bathroom vanity.

What's On My TYPO Wishlist...



Oh Typo... You will never bore me... You will forever be one of my favourite stores...

Here is what is sitting in my wish list right now!


1. Hangin' Around Planter. $19.99AUD.
Everybody needs a little bit of greenery inside and this cute little planter would make the perfect holder for it. Herbs in there, hung in the kitchen. A nice weeping plant hung in the lounge. Endless possibilities!

2. Pennant Flag. $24.95AUD
This would look cool hung anywhere around the home. In an entrance, office, living area. I think it adds another element to a room, instead of just framed pictures or posters.

3. Set of 3 Trinket Trays. $19.99AUD
A cute little set of bowls to have on your dressing table for rings and trinkets. Could also be used in the kitchen for nibbles or to rest your cooking spoons.





4. Bowl Jewellery Tree. $14.99AUD
Anything copper in my life, right now!
I love this little jewellery holder. perfect for little bracelets and rings.

5. Such A Mug. $9.99AUD
I have managed to adopt my mothers love of collecting mugs. I love this one with the pastel colours!

6. Industrial Lamp. $39.99AUD
This little guy reminds me of the Pixar lamp! I love mint green and this would make a great addition to a computer desk.




7. Queen Bed Quilt Cover Set. $149.99AUD
Now that the weather is starting to cool down, I think this doona cover would set the perfect tone for Autumn/Winter. I love the detailing on the end of the cover and pillow cases and with crisp white sheets it would just scream luxe!

8. Carried Away Mug. $14.99AUD
Again with the mugs! This one is clearly because I'm a wine drinker and thought it would be a funny one for work.

9. A3 Plan Ahead. $14.99AUD
I'm teaching myself how to become a planner! After just finishing an 8 week I Quit Sugar program, with meals plans and shopping lists all written out for me, I wanted to keep it up! This planner would be super handy to write out what things I needed and what was being cooked on what night etc. I will become organised eventually!

And there you have it... Anyone else as obsessed with Typo as I am?? I'm sure I could go back online right now and find another barrage of things to add to cart... Just a shame I didn't have the bottomless bank account to go with it!

Let me know what you fancy from the list, or let me know if there's something else you think I should know about!

Product Review || Tigi Bed Head Color Goddess Shampoo & Conditioner



Oh. Em. Gee.

I think I have stumbled across the most scrumptious smelling shampoo and conditioner EVER!!
Enough for them to claim holy grail (always on my repurchase/have back ups in the cupboard list) status.

This is the TIGI Bedhead Color Goddess duo... and it smells like CARAMEL!

I found these little gems on the Feel Unique website. After reading the description and some reviews I was instantly sold.

Full of super nourishing ingredients like sweet almond oil, coconut oil, shea butter and keratin, along with essential B vitamins for keeping your locks super luscious, this is exactly what the doctor ordered for my long colour treated hair.

The shampoo foams up a lot which I love, along with having the amazing caramel aroma wafting through your bathroom is absolute bliss! It left my hair feeling squeaky clean.
The conditioner is more like a nourishing mask. A super thick consistency which instantly injects life back into stressed out hair.

It washes out great and doesn't leave your hair feeling heavy or with any residue.
Just literally dessert smelling hair and a salon quality feel to your tresses after it's dry.

The only downside is the pack that I purchased came with a 400ml shampoo and a 200ml conditioner.
Now I don't know about you, but I always manage to finish my conditioner before I finish my shampoo... They really should upsize a conditioner so you can actually finish both at the same time. Anyone who can actually manage to do that deserves a medal!

If you're a big dessert lover like me, it's totally worth the cash to just sit on the couch and smell these all day long. If they could bottle a scent like it I would probably wear it, but for now I will settle with having the best smelling hair on the planet!

Do let me know if you have tried this glorious invention before or if you think you have something better for me to try out!
