Skincare Ingredients You Need in Your Life

by rachel beauty style20 Comments on Skincare Ingredients You Need in Your Life

Hello beauties,

As you all know I’m a self confessed skincare addict. I also think I’m a know it all, but by no means I do not know it all. However over the years while battling to obtain clear skin I’ve learnt a few things about skincare. Today I wanted to share my understanding of skincare ingredients so hopefully you can make a more informed decision when purchasing skincare.

Salicylic Acid

Salicylic Acid is targeted at acne/blemish prone skin as it penetrates deep into the skin. I’m not much of a fan of Salicylic Acid as I feel it just doesn’t work quick enough for my skin. The only product that I absolutely swear by that has Salicylic Acid is the Mario Badescu Drying Lotion which is a spot treatment.

The Beauty Products I Will Always Repurchase

by rachel beauty style9 Comments on The Beauty Products I Will Always Repurchase

Hello beauties,

I saw the lovely Rosa from Lipstick n Linguine do a post about all the beauty products she repurchases and well I just wanted to copy her. As a beauty blogger I get to try so many products, and I think everything is amazing. But lets be real. New products lose their shine and there’s always a handful of products you come back to. Well I’ve got a bit more than a handful…

LÓreal True Match Foundation

When I was in the States I stocked up on this foundation. But luckily for me Australia now stocks my shade- however I haven’t needed to buy it yet as I’m still working through my stash. I use this foundation most days as it provides great coverage and lasts really well throughout the day. Prior to LÓreal True Match I would have said my holy grail foundation was NARS Sheer Glow. But at half the price I can’t complain about LÓreal.

Product Empties: April

by rachel beauty style22 Comments on Product Empties: April

Hello beauties,

Another month, another round of empties. This month’s a bit different as I started off by clearing out some old and unloved items from my beauty collection. Below is a stack of lip products that I’ve decided to throw away as I don’t use them. Not a negative, some are really good but I just don’t use them.

Wella SP Colour Save Conditioner

I’ve repurchased this conditioner multiple times, not because I think its amazing but because my hairdresser recommended it. Don’t think its anything special and will try something new.

Sephora Argan Hand Mask*

The packaging of the hand mask is amazing! No leakage and easy to use. I found that it did hydrate my hands but at the same time wasn’t anything special. Might try again before my wedding…

Estee Lauder DayWear BB Cream

One of the best BB Creams I’ve ever tried but its a tad light so its time to bin it. Really good coverage and lasts well on oily skin. I got my girlfriend hooked on it and she swears by it as her every day foundation.
