Mini Drugstore Haul

In the spirit of Halloween, I went out yesterday and picked up a few beauty-related things, so I finally have something to share with you all!

Yayyyy!

L-R: Glam Eyes "Gwen" eyelashes, red face & body paint, She Aromatherapy body glitter, She Aromatherapy dusting powder in "Nymph" and Revlon nail varnish in "Cherries in the Snow"

 

 So obviously the body paint is Halloween-specific, and I will put up some photos of my Halloween makeup looks after the weekend.

She Aromatherapy is a brand that I had never seen or heard of before until yesterday's expedition to Priceline. They are an Australian cruelty-free brand of mineral makeup and natural body products. You can check them out here

The body glitter has a cooling gel texture and an opalescent shine. It contains no alcohol, which is good for me and my sensitive skin. It provides a subtle sparkle and a lovely, ethereal shimmer. I can't wait to wear it. I always loved body glitter when I was younger; and it seems to be very difficult to find in shops in W.A. Maybe Victoria is just more of a body glitter sort of place.

The next thing I bought is the loose dusting powder, also from She Aromatherapy. The colour is "Nymph," which was just so perfect that I had to have it. I like to wear shimmery loose powders when I do special effect makeup, but they can be equally lovely with a neutral palette. I haven't tried this product yet but I'm excited. I will probably wear it to work tonight.

And the last thing I bought was the Revlon nail polish. I have been wanting "Cherries in the Snow" for a long time now; and when I saw that Priceline had reduced the price of all Revlon nail polishes to nine dollars, I just had to snap this one up. It's a gorgeous red which reminds me of Old Hollywood movie stars. I'm excited to wear it.


So that concludes my mini beauty haul, I hope you enjoyed it. If you have tried any of these products or would like to see some proper reviews of the products, please leave me a comment below. Have a wonderful day!

Review of Chantecaille Flower-Infused Cleansing Milk

Last week, I ordered some makeup through Mecca Cosmetica online, and one of the samples they sent me was Chantecaille Flower Infused Cleansing Milk.

Sample size- Thanks so much, Mecca Cosmetica! You guys rock.

 

I had never heard of Chantecaille before, but I was delighted to discover that it is a lovely, cruelty-free brand which promotes kindness to the environment and incorporates tons of natural ingredients into their products. So before I even put the product on my skin, I liked this brand.

I followed the instructions on the back of the sample packet and used a cotton pad to apply the cleanser to my skin. I was really impressed (and slightly embarrassed) by how much dirt it removed. This cleanser would make an awesome makeup remover as well.

Gorgeous natural ingredients make this product like aromatherapy for your face!

 

Despite the tendency of some cream cleansers/cleansing milks to be sticky and gooey, Chantecaille seem to have perfected the ultimate gentle texture. Delicately fragranced with rose, jasmine and mimosa, this cleanser is gentle and very soothing, even on my extra-hypersensitive skin. It also contains mallow and chamomile, which are natural anti-inflammatries, so there was no stinging or redness when I used this product.

At no point did I find the texture to be sticky, heavy or clogged and once I washed it off my face with cold water, I felt fresh, clean and springtime pretty. It was really refreshing and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I definitely recommend this product, especially to my fellow sensitive-skinned sisters. When your skin is as sensitive as mine, you really do have to be so careful, but this is a lovely cleanser which I definitely recommend to anybody who looks for natural ingredients and eco-friendly, cruelty-free beauty products, as well as anybody who needs a gentle, soothing cleanser that still gives your skin a deep clean. Perfect for springtime, Chantecaille Flower-Infused Cleansing Milk will make your skin glow with dewy, sunshine-y happiness.
