Beaute Industry Update

The following video was originally filmed 5 weeks ago and posted on my social media pages in order for me to gauge whether my posts connect with people and therefore I should blog about it. As it was with in this case, but definitely not the case with everything that I post on those pages. Little did I know that this was the day when 'likes' where turned off Australian Instagram accounts. Will it make a difference to how we perceive our self worth? Will it affect the beauty industry? Is it a case of popularity versus experience?

Time will tell.

The King's Speech

I am calling out for all paid endorsements to be labelled accordingly. Yes it is law to do so, no it is not happening consistently. 


Beauty Is My Duty

Jurlique-I meant to say in the video, "first to the global market with 24 hour hydration in the natural cosmetics world". Some brands go up to 96 hours, not sure what level of hydration that would contain? Check the fine print in that case. Meanwhile, this gel-like serum is just the hydration that we need as it glides and gently melts into the skin. The NEW Jurlique Rose itself..divine!

#KMRVideo - Jurlique Rare Rose Skincare

Estée Lauder-I put Advanced Night Repair Intense Reset to the test on my fine lines and a few of the deeper set lines. I had just finished working 14 days consecutively. "You don't look it, you can't tell" said a fellow colleague in regards to my retail-athon.

This. Works. Wait until you see it work in this video. Filmed in one continuous shot, no edit. This is a game changer. Game Over.

Let me TELL you, I love this product.

Nude By Nature-You had me at 'Soft Focus' Illuminator. Getting the level of shimmer that is just enough, without being too little, or too much is challenging indeed. Not to mention the amazing natural ingredients added to this to take make it next level wow. I blend it 50/50 with my foundation or moisturiser if I am truly strapped for time...I'm good to glow!

Klorane-The 24 hour comfort hair shampoo features the 'power of the peony' rose has made me dandruff free since it was launched and the SOS serum which I spray onto itchy patches works a treat. Sometimes life can be a real itch, I'm over it.

Moment Of Concern

The strength of active ingredients such as Retinol, Vitamin C and Glycolic Acid is experiencing exponential growth on the retail shop floor. This to me is a concern based on the additional training required to work with these type of products that where solely within the category of Cosmeceuticals prior to recent times.

The use of words to describe a products efficacy is often referred to as a 'Marketing Angle' and this seems to be a grey area that confuses the customer even more eg."How can they say that if it isn't the case". How? Well percentages may refer to the potency of an ingredient as well as the volume within the complete ingredients listing...50 shades of grey area.

The best advice that I can give, broadly speaking that is, is to wear sunscreen daily to prevent any extra pigmentation that may appear due to using these products. Yes, it can exacerbate your skin condition if it isn't used correctly. Please Share.

There's more to it than that. But that is all that I can say, broadly speaking. It's not dangerous, some of the formulas have amazing ingredients to smooth the skin and to support these active ingredients as well. It took me many years to get it onto my skin, I have pigmentation on my forehead, and I am lucky to have the support of industry professionals each step of my way. Please seek advice first.

The Finale

Two to three layers of skin around the eye area mean that you have to be extra careful. My dark circles come from me using Vitamin A on my face which technically lightened my face a few shades. But the shade around my eyes stayed the same. I hope that makes sense.

Love Your Gut Powder works. The day after using it, I always feel a bit lighter and less bloated after having a big feast. Yes even skinny ones can get bloated.

Charcoal in everything kills me a bit, it aint Coconut Oil, relax peeps! However, using the Activated Charcoal pure powder has removed the signs of my black coffee stains.



I'm all about that, and a whole lot more. Thank you.
