Sukin Skincare 3 Step Face Kit

SUKIN - LOVE YOUR SKIN

The Sukin 3 Step Face Kit includes a Foaming Facial Cleanser, Hydrating Mist Toner and Facial Moisturiser, all paraben free, vegan and cruelty free plus full of delicious natural ingredients while also being super affordable! What more could we ask for?

They're also a very decent size in this gift set, all 125ml but also they're all available individually at Farmers for $14.99 NZD each SHOP HERE


Foaming Facial Cleanser -
Chamomile, Aloe Vera, Witch Hazel and Green Tea with Macadamia and Evening Primrose oils to purify and balance your skin. Suitable for all Skin types.
I know personally how well witch hazel works on healing your skin, my Mum would always put witch hazel on a new bruise when I was younger and it would be less painful and make the healing process much faster, so that will be amazing for new blemishes or ones hiding under the skin. As for Aloe Vera and Green Tea, we all know the soothing benefits those two have, and amazing oils to balance the skin and keep the hydration.
Other ingredients like Tangerine peel oil, Mandarin Orange peel oil and Lavender oil give this cleanser the most delicious citrus scent, not overwhelming. Gentle enough to use twice daily, I wash my face once in the morning and twice with it in the evening if I've got makeup on to remove every speck of foundation and dirt.


Hydrating Mist Toner -
This Alcohol Free hydrating mist combines Chamomile with Rosewater to sooth and tone skin. Suitable for all Skin types. I have been loving this spray for after I've washed my face with the cleanser or when I go out for a walk and come home red faced, I spritz some on my face to hydrate and cool down red, flushed skin. It's instantly refreshing and helps creams and oils penetrate into the skin.


Facial Moisturiser -
Aloe Vera, Horsetail, Nettle and Burdock to soothe and skin-healing Rose hip, Wheat Germ, Jojoba and Avocado oils to promote healthy skin renewal. Suitable for all Skin types. "Fast absorbing, deeply penetrating hydration that softens and soothes skin" This moisturiser smells incredible with cacao seed butter, mandarin and tangerine peel oils and lavender oil, it has a subtle scent of Chocolate orange and it's soo good! Plus, my Mum puts Burdock leaves in her homemade Comfrey cream for all of its healing and hydrating benefits on the skin. I love how lightweight this moisturiser is, it absorbs super quickly so by the time I'm putting makeup on, there is no residue on your skin and everything applies smoothly on top.


Let's Talk Packaging -
Sukin uses all recyclable and grey water safe packaging. As well as PET plastic, with a plant-based raw material structure, PET plastic is 100% recyclable and BPA free! The plastic pumps Sukin uses are made of polypropylene (sustainable plastic) with metal springs that are completely recyclable and separated during the recycling wash process! Other Sukin products use Amber glass packaging which is also 100% recyclable, so there's no chance of harming the earth!


No Bad Stuff -

Sukin removes all the nasties we're used to finding in our skincare such as parabens, sulphates and mineral oils, also every thing is completely vegan and cruelty free so no animals were harmed in the making! You can see the list of harsh chemicals & everything else left out of Sukin products below.

I highly recommend this range and any other products from Sukin because of the affordability, ingredients and eco-friendly packaging!

Chi Chi Cosmetics Extravaganza Face Palette

Review & Swatches!

Yay! A New Year has started & it's time to start blogging again!
Before Christmas, Chi Chi Cosmetics released a ton of new products
This Extravaganza Face Palette was just one of the many gift options they had available
And of course, knowing my luck, the palette had sold out everywhere in store..
So I went online Chichicosmetics.com & there it was! 
24 Eyeshadows
3 Highlighters
3 Blushes
2 Bronzers 
All for $30aud!
It arrived to NZ in three days & I was able to swatch this baby for us all!
I was blown away by the quality & pigmentation of this entire palette!
Swatches Below 

www.chichicosmetics.com 

  This palette includes shadows from their individual eye palettes
 - some Mattes, shimmers, brights, bronzes, nudes & smokeys
 so you get to test out the quality & pigmentation of all their products in one kit!
I only owned the Chi Chi Nudes palette from their shadow range 
and thought this palette was a perfect way to try a lot more of their shadows
 plus some of their face products - blushes, bronzers & the new highlighters
All that for $30aud? I couldn't say no!

 SWATCHES 


First Row
Cream/Off White with slight Sheen

Flesh toned Matte 

Cool toned Light Grey Matte

Cool toned Taupe Brown Matte

Neutral mid-tone Brown Matte

Deep Purple Brown Matte

These shades were hard to swatch, not the softest shadows but they were easier to blend with brushes

Second Row
Light Pearl Gold Shimmer

Champagne Gold Metallic 

True Gold Metallic

Warm Bronze Brown Metallic

Copper Bronze Metallic

Neutral Deep Bronze Metallic

Every one of these shades swatch like butter, so soft & highly pigmented 


Third Row
Intense Yellow Gold Shimmer

Rose Gold Metallic

Warm Caramel Brown Matte

Red toned Brown Matte 

Apricot with slight Sheen

Bronze Gold Metallic

Another row that swatched like butter, the mattes on this row are softer & more pigmented compared to the first row

Fourth Row
Orange Metallic with Gold Shimmer

Bright Turquoise Blue with slight Shimmer

Medium Bright Purple with Shimmer

Lilac Purple Metallic

Dark Plum Shimmer 

Deep Navy Blue Matte

Considering the bright shades in this row, the pigmentation is definitely there! Just the Aqua Blue was slightly patchy when swatched


Highlighters
Intense Icy Gold Highlight  
Cool toned Champagne Highlight
Deeper Golden Highlight

Blushes
Sheer Peach Blush with Shimmer
Neutral Pink Blush with Sheen finish
Peachy Pink Blush with Gold shimmer

Bronzers
Tropical Island Bronzer - Neutral toned Bronzer with slight shimmers
Brazilian Beach Bronzer - Slight Warm toned Bronzer with Matte finish

All Stunning face powders & blend beautifully


The Tropical Island Bronzer looks a lot like NARS Laguna bronzer & the bottom blush reminds me of NARS Orgasm blush, also a lot of the shadows are similar to the Urban Decay Naked palettes! 
Some great dupes in this palette!
I definitely think this is worth picking up & adding to your collection, it's worth every penny! 
I would happily pay $60-80 for this palette getting the huge variety of colours, knowing the quality of the powders & seeing the pigmentation. 
Also I totally recommend ordering online off their website, when you sign up for email newsletters you receive a $15 coupon code, which could pay for your shipping, or you get Free Express Shipping to NZ on orders over $75 (and Australia over $50) 
This palette is currently still available, but it is Limited Edition so get it while you can!

I love Chi Chi Cosmetics!

It feels so good to get back in to blogging, 
I can't wait to see what 2016 holds for us Beauty lovers
So many new products in the making!
