La Mav Anti-Ageing Mineral Foundation with SPF15 - Review

8/8/2014

For the past couple of months  I’ve been using the La Mav Anti-Ageing Mineral Foundation combined with the La Mav BB Cream.
This foundation is an all in one concealer, sunscreen, foundation and powder, which means you can use it on it’s own and it will work fabulously, you really don’t need to use anything else with it, but as the BB cream also contains a primer and moisturiser,  I use this first followed by the Mineral Foundation.

This Mineral Foundation  is 100 percent natural and certified organic, cruelty free and proudly Australian made.  Completely free from all of the nasty chemicals such as parabens, petrochemicals and synthetics.  

The fact that this foundation is anti-ageing is a big added plus for me, as not that many loose organic powders are.   It contains anti-ageing minerals and the anti-oxidant properties of certified organic rose-hip oil and vitamin C.  It’s a good idea to start using anti-ageing products at any age, not just when you hit your 40’s and start noticing wrinkles!  Prevention is the best  medicine when it comes to skin care.

When applying I only used a light dusting and this set my make-up for the entire working day, no touch up’s needed.     The staying power is extremely long lasting, it will last all day long.
La mav have done their  research when it comes to performance and knowing what people need in their skincare products.

I find this powder to be very nourishing for my skin,  at the same time as making my skin feel perfectly made up by hiding my imperfections,  without making me feel as though I’m wearing a tonne of make-up.    It adds a slightly glowing and soft shimmer  look to my skin without making it look shiny.
As someone who can be prone to the occasional breakout, this also kept my skin clear and pimple free and hides any redness. This would also work well for those who suffer from Rosacea.
It comes in 4 different shades,  I used the light/medium shade and this was perfect for my fair, but slightly tanned skin.  It also contains a natural SPF 15 sunscreen and is water resistant, even on hot, sweaty days it will stay on your face!

The powder is very economical and  you’re getting  top quality at an affordable price.
I highly recommend both the La Mav BB Cream and Mineral Foundation powder as a healthy way to keep your skin looking and feeling great, I don’t think anyone will be disappointed after trying them.
Before this I was using a liquid foundation and pressed powder, but now I've been converted.   Previously I've found other loose powders looked too thick, but this glides on smoothly and evens out to a very natural looking skin tone.

Available at The Organic Beauty Shop

Kosmea Rose Collection Review - Limited Edition Certified Organic Rose Hip Oil and Rose Hand Cream.

6/26/2014

Certified Organic Rose Hip Oil

What I love about Kosmea’s certified organic rose hip oil is the high quality and affordability for such an amazing product.  Rose-hips contain essential fatty acids and anti-oxidants which will nourish all skin types.  This little bottle of oil will help prevent stretch marks, smooth out lines and wrinkles and treat acne scars. 
Made from wild rose hips, ethically sourced and 100 percent organic. 
As a daily routine apply a couple of drops to slightly damp skin morning and night after cleansing.   I used it before applying moisturiser in the mornings and in the evening's I used it on it's own.  It really does seem to brighten my complexion and add some plumpness.   I like the feeling of the oil as it melts into my skin and getting into the fine lines.  
Rose-hips are a natural source of Vitamin A and a safe way to reduce wrinkles without chemicals and side effects.    
Suitable for all skin types as it balance's skin and is good for regulating hormonal acne.    
It absorbed into my skin quickly and didn't leave any oily residue. I also like to use this as a natural eye make-up remover, mix a little bit with water onto a cotton wool ball and it will remove eye-makeup at the same time as moisturising your skin, particularly good for crows feet.  
It comes with a convenient glass dropper, so you get just the right amount you need with each application. 

Rose Hand Cream


I have always been a big user of hand creams,  so was very happy to have the opportunity to review this Kosmea Rose Collection, containing Limited Edition Certified Organic Rose Hip Oil and Rose Hand Cream.
I have dry hands,  so before I changed to organic products, I used to go for the really heavy duty thick hand creams, which were also laden with chemicals.  This organic Kosmea hand cream feels luxurious enough to keep my hands moisturised without feeling oily.
The texture isn’t heavy and thick, but it has enough substance to keep hands moisturised without having to constantly re-apply.   The fact that this contains Kosmea’s pure Organic rose-hip oil makes this an extremely nourishing cream to use both day and night to keep hands feeling smooth and soft, it also helped to repair my sore cuticles which I always seem to get in winter time.    I use this on my feet before I go to bed and wake up with soft feeling feet, this is especially good for cracked heels.
The scent is a calming and subdued perfume of delicate roses.     This natural scent is made with Damascus Rose Flower Water and Rosewood Oil,  it smells of summery days and it’s  nice to use in winter time when you need a lift to your senses.   It comes in a pretty soft pink tube in a perfect size to carry around in your handbag or keep on the bedside table.
It also contains jojoba oil, aloe vera, shea butter, vitamin E and white tea extract, which are all important ingredients to prevent ageing skin.   
Kosmea is an Australian based company who use the highest quality herbal, plant and flower extracts.
Their rose hips are 100 percent organic and are ethically sourced from South Africa.   

You can purchase the Kosmea Rose Collection here.   The Rose Hand Cream and Organic Rosehip Oil are also available to purchase seperately.

Essential oils are very highly concentrated and potent and it is important to always check the specific safety data provided. Keep out of reach of children, the elderly, and pets. 

Some oils may cause skin irritation in people with sensitive skin. It is recommended to perform a patch test before use.
