My Current Facial Scrubs

My Current Facial Scrubs - Sweetaholic Beauty

Since moving houses, my skin has been playing up a bit. This is probably due to moving a lot of furniture and getting covered in dust! I find that the best way to clear my skin is by giving it a good scrub. I've been using a few scrubs lately, so I thought I would share my current favourites.

I've been using three scrubs recently. Two of them actually double as masks, which makes them a tad more fun.

Priceline Skincare Bag 2016

Priceline Skincare Bag 2016 - Sweetaholic Beauty

It's June yet again, which means it's time for us to all head down to the shops to pick up the Priceline Skincare Bag. The skincare bags are usually my favourites from the range; as they usually contain the most products. This year I felt the bag was fairly good value, but I'm still not sure if I would rank this as being better than last years bag. (You can read my reviews on the bags from 2015, 2014 and 2013.)

This year, the required amount to spend on eligible skincare was $69, which was the same as last year. Sadly the overall value of the bag has decreased a little, but nothing I feel the need to complain about.

The bag was much cuter this year. The quality of the bag itself is rather good, and the design is a bit closer to my own style. There was also an internal black cosmetic bag, which will actually come in handy for travelling. We also got a bonus mini coin purse with the bag.

June Bellabox*

June Bellabox - Sweetaholic Beauty

It certainly has been a while since my readers have seen a subscription box review on my page. This is probably a mix of my having too many samples already, and a bid to save money. Luckily, subscription box Bellabox has graciously provided me with a box to share with you all. I was fairly excited to be getting the June box; which has a theme of "Winter Switch." I take that to mean switching to products specifically for winter.

The box came completely jam packed - which is obviously a good sign. We received seven goodies altogether.

Bloggers United AU Brisbane Event Goody Bag Haul


Two weeks ago I shared my recap of the Bloggers United AU Brisbane Event. I've finally found time to unpack my suitcase, go through all the goodies and actually photograph them. I've most definitely missed a few things, as I actually forgot to grab them from the brand representatives - but I'll mention those I can remember at the end.

BBUA16

Like all the events, all the products won't fit in one photograph. But here's a sneak peek.

Boots Laboratories Optiva Skincare Two Week Trial*

Boots Laboratories Optiva Skincare Two Week Trial - Sweetaholic Beauty

A few weeks ago,  I was asked if I wanted to try out the Boots Laboratories Optiva Skincare range. I've tried a few bits and pieces in the past, so of course I jumped at the chance. I was also almost out of my current skincare range, so this was perfect timing to try something new. 

Boots Laboratories Optiva Skincare Two Week Trial - Sweetaholic Beauty

According to Boots Laboratories, the Optiva range doesn't just hydrate your skin, but actually helps form a stronger barrier to keep moisture in. They claim with the help of these products, specifically the Aqua-Capture Serum, you'll have healthier looking skin in just two weeks. So, I decided to do a two-week trial and share my results.

Australis Cosmetics AC Gems Limited Edition Velourlips Collection

Australis Cosmetics AC Gems Limited Edition Velourlips Collection Review & Swatches - Sweetaholic Beauty

A few months ago, one of my favourite Aussie brands Australis Cosmetics, released four new shades of their awesome Velourlips lippies. Before I launch into my review, I'm well aware that a lot of people don't actually like the Velourlips and that's absolutely fine. I have almost every shade released and am a huge fan of them, so I'll say that upfront I do like the formula, the smell and all the rest of it. This post here is to show off the four new limited edition shades, and what I think of them rather than a full review on the Velourlips as a whole. If you do want a full review, you can check out my original thoughts here.

Australis Cosmetics AC Gems Limited Edition Velourlips Collection Review & Swatches - Sweetaholic Beauty

The four shades are Full Moon-Stone, Quartz and All, Em-Ruled City, and To-Paz or Not To-Paz. Australis have kept with the theme of overly complicated shade names, but that doesn't worry me too much. One thing you'll notice about this collection is the out-there shades. White, green and blue are not exactly your everyday drugstore shades. I was pretty excited to see a local brand take on some daring colours.

Natura Siberica Northern Soap Review*

Natura Siberica Northern Soap Review - Sweetaholic Beauty

I was recently given the chance to try out the new Natura Siberica Nothern Soap. As the name suggests, this is a soap for deep facial cleansing so perfect for giving yourself a truly deep clean. I was pretty excited to try it, as everything I have tried from this brand so far has been a hit. 

Natura Siberica Northern Soap Review - Sweetaholic Beauty

I was in love with the packaging from the get-go. I also discovered that this is not available in-stores and is actually an online exclusive.

May Favourites

May Favourites - Sweetaholic Beauty

I can't believe we are already in June. This year is definitely speeding past. This past month I moved houses, which is always difficult, so my favourites were a bit difficult to decide on. I also had our Bloggers United AU Brisbane Event too, which means I was a very busy girl. Sadly I was also affected by the internet outage which meant I had no internet for at least two weeks - oh the struggle!

A few goodies that I have been enjoying this past month!

May Lip Monthly*

May Lip Monthly Review - Sweetaholic Beauty

If you've been following me for a good while, then you'll know that I'm a sucker for a subscription box. I used to be subscribed to all the beauty boxes in Australia - eventually, I had to give them up due to money constraints and an overflowing array of samples. 

When I was offered the chance to try out the subscription box Lip Monthly, I jumped at it. I used to get the old Lip Monthly boxes, but it looks as though they have had an entire rebrand. Lip Monthly, for those who don't know, is a subscription service that includes full sized lip products. Who could say no to that? 

May Lip Monthly Review - Sweetaholic Beauty

Lip Monthly came in a gorgeous little bag. I love the design. It's compact and, funnily enough, is the perfect size to keep lip products in.

I honestly can't believe it's been an entire month. This past month has been a whirlwind of craziness for me - I've had my mother's and my step-father's birthday, I've had our wonderful Bloggers United AU Brisbane event and I've moved houses! Can you even believe it? As I have moved houses, most "empty" products probably would have been thrown away, but I managed to keep a few to share with you all.

Only six products I truly used up, rather than threw away. Not too shabby.
