Empty bottles: Burt's Bees, Nivea and Heathcote and Ivory

September is about to end and I have collected few empty bottles for you to share.


1. Burt's Bees Baby Shampoo and Wash. Favoured by me and used up by my son. This is a lovely, gentle, hypo-allergenic and plant-based wash. Didn't agree with us as a shampoo, but as a body wash it is wonderful. Doesn't strip and dry out the skin; keeps it soft, healthy and clean. 

2. Another little tube from Burt's Bees is the Intense Hydration Eye Cream with Clary Sage. It is surprisingly lightweight despite its name, has mild scent and leaves skin around the eyes soft and well hydrated.

3. Nivea Extra Gentle Eye Make-up Remover. It is gentle and doesn't irritate my skin, but sadly I didn't find its formula as effective as before. This used to be my favourite budget buy, but too many of panda eye mornings are calling now for change.

4. Heathcote&Ivory Blush Rose Hand Lotion. Are you a rose scent fan? Delicately scented, a light textured lotion with glycerin, vitamin E and pro-vitamin B5 is beautiful choice to keeps hands soothed and moisturised. I have another bottle to enjoy, this is definitely a lovely and refreshing treat I would recommend.

What is your September's beauty must have?

SUKIN, Skincare that doesn't cost the Earth

Hello, my friends! I know it's been awhile since my last post. Life kept me busy, but recently I have an urge to write and a desire to share few new bits from my beauty world.

Today's heroes are three skin care products from SUKIN, an Australian natural skin care brand. SUKIN offers a complete natural face care range to bring out the best in your skin's radiance. Formulated using the best natural ingredients such as aloe vera and rose hip oil, the SUKIN facial care range assists in balancing the skin's oils, leaving it soft, nourished and hydrated.


I have a normal skin type, but being 30+ and pregnant I tend to navigate to sensitive and more hydrating skin care products. 

SUKIN Sensitive Cleansing Lotion is gentle and creamy; a perfect combination to cleanse and soothe delicate skin. I use it almost daily in my evening cleansing routine. I love the creamy texture, how lotion feels on my skin and its gentle scent. SUKIN Sensitive Cleansing Lotion is perfect for skin massage after a long and stressful day. Doesn't strip my skin of its natural oils, but does its work by removing impurities. I like to take it off with a warm face cloth and it is perfect parter to my FOREO LUNA.

SUKIN Sensitive Cleansing Lotion is suitable for normal to sensitive skin types. Contains cucumber, chamomile and aloe vera which soothe and hydrate dry skin, while blend of rosehip, jojoba, avocado oils with vitamin E help to leave skin feeling clean, soft and nourished.

SUKIN Restoring Argan Oil+ is my skin's little treat for over the night time. I am not shy of using an oil based skin care on my face and do believe that oils help to restore skin sebum's balance and hydrate on a deeper level. This is a natural blend of rich antioxidants, vitamins and essential fatty acids that help to nourish the skin. SUKIN Restoring Argain Oil+ contains maracuia, rosehip, jojoba, sunflower and wheat germ oils, which help to promote intense moisture to dehydrated skin; calendula flower extract and vitamin E assist to reduce the sign of aging and improve the texture of the skin.

SUKIN Restoring Argan Oil+ absorbs beautifully into skin and doesn't leave any fatty residue. I wake up in the morning with a lovely and soft skin without a trace of oil or any shine. I tend to warm up few drops in between my palms and massage oil gently into my face and neck. Oil has a soothing and light fragrance. It is suitable for all skin types. 

SUKIN Hydrating Facial Masque is another delight for my skin. I use it once a week alternating with a exfoliating facial mask. Masque has a lovely mango scent. It is creamy, soothing and hydrating. 

SUKIN Hydrating Facial Masque is rich in mango seed butter and a blend of avocado, olive fruit and jojoba oils, which help to nourish and provide intense moisture to the skin. Facial mask contains enzymes of papaya and pineapple, which nourish the complexion and impart fruit acids and vitamins, leaving skin feeling smooth with a healthy glow. This face mask is suitable for all skin types.

A lovely trio. Have you tried any from above? What is your favourite skin care treat from SUKIN?
