Trilogy Everything Balm

Hey all, 

I usually have combination-oily skin, but in Winter it takes a stroll down the 'dry as hell' route. Chuck the flu into the mix and I end up with flaky, painful skin - especially around my nose. I have loved Trilogy products for a long while, and use their Cream Cleanser, Antioxidant Rose-hip Oil and Vital Moisturising Cream. Knowing this, a friend recommended that I tried this balm to tackle the problem bits around my nose, and I have used it for that and so much more! 

What Is It?

- An all purpose balm containing Omega 3 & 6, natural super emollients and a range of vitamins and antioxidants. 

What Can It Be Used For? 

- Soothing dry skin. 

- All over nourishing & protecting. 

- Healthy nails. 

- Massage oil. 

- Lip conditioning. 

What I Love 

- Extremely versatile - can fix almost everything. 

- Smells gorgeous. 

- Packed full of natural ingredients. 

- Adorable packing (we all know that I am a sucker for it). 

- Reasonably priced. 

Where to Buy: Priceline, Adore Beauty

Price: $18.95 for 45ml and $29.95 for 95ml. 

I love this stuff! When they said it was multi-purpose, they weren't lying. And not only can it be used for a range of things, it works well for all of them as well. I have used it for problem dry bits, as a cuticle oil, as lip balm and it calms down bites, cuts and burns a lot as well! 

Keep one at home, and keep one in your bag - it's handy as hell! 

Hope you all have a great night! xx

Jurlique Rose Moisture Plus Range - Review

Hey all,

Sorry for the little hiatus from blogging! Things have been hectic around here; exciting, but hectic! Anyway, hopefully everything will now be back to normal, and you will be hearing from me as often as ever! 

I thought that I would restart with an exciting skin care product review! I have been dying to publish my review on these range of products, so am definitely excited to have finally done so. 

I have been struggling with dry skin this winter! I usually have combination skin, and excessively dry skin has never been a problem for me in the past. But this winter, flaky and tight skinned hell has broken loose. 

I have tried quite a few products over the last couple of months, in an attempt to get my skin back under control; some have helped, others not so much. This range of Jurlique products has most definitely helped! 

Rose Moisture Plus Collection


Moisturising Cleanser 

What I Love

• Removes the majority of make up easily (will still need to remove eye makeup seperately though) 
• Natural ingredients, so it is better for your skin. 
• Australian owned. 
• I adore the smell. 
• Cleanses without drying. 

Moisturising Cream

• Highly moisturising.
• It seemed to improve my skin’s radiance after a couple of weeks.
• Dense cream, so a little goes a long way. 
• Natural ingredients.
• Australian owned. 

Due to having combination skin, this probably isn’t something that I could use in summer, as it is quite moisturising. 

Rosewater Balancing Mist 

This is something that I remember using a long time back, and I do remember loving it back then. Nothing has changed - I still think that it is fabulous! 

• Refreshes and hydrates skin, without removing makeup or making oily.
• Great for travel (especially air travel) 

These products seem to work very well with my skin this winter, and it will be interesting to see how my skin handles them as the weather warms up. I think that they are all well formulated, and I love knowing that I am using more natural products. I also ran off to the shops and purchased the Jurlique Herbal Recovery night cream, so a review on that will be coming soon! 


What is your favourite Jurlique product? 


Hope you all have a great night! xx
