Best of: Rosehip Oil

Best of: Rosehip Oil - Sweetaholic Beauty

In my teenage years and my early adulthood, I suffered from incredibly oily skin. I tried everything I could think of to reduce the oil, including scrubs and toners and all kinds of product to help "dry out" my skin. Little did I know, this was one of the worst things I was doing to my skin. My skin was working overtime to produce even more oil, as I was tricking my skin into thinking it was too dry. Good job, past self.

Since then I've changed my ways, and I've discovered that treating my skin right would help keep that oil under control. I grew to love using Rosehip oil on my skin to help regulate it's oil production. Who knew using oil to help stop my skin getting oily would actually work?

I've tried a few different Rosehip oils since my discovery, so I thought I would share three personal favourites of mine.

Brand Focus: Olive Skincare*

Brand Focus: Olive Skincare - Sweetaholic Beauty

A little while ago, I received a few goodies from brand Olive Skincare. I had never heard of this brand before, so I was pretty excited. Turns out it's a natural skincare brand from New Zealand; and the brand has harnessed the awesome power of olive oil. (Hence the name.)

I ended up with seven new products to try, and I seriously felt like a kid at a candy store.

Priceline Your Summer of Skincare Bag

Priceline Your Summer of Skincare Bag - Sweetaholic Beauty

A little while ago, Priceline was hosting yet another awesome gift-with-purchase. Usually we see three gift with purchase bags a year - skincare, beauty and hair care. This year they have released this super cool bag called Your Summer of Skincare. The usual skincare bag was already released back in June (you can read my review here) but this one is a tad different.

The bag itself is not exactly my style. It's plastic and a tad see-through, so I'll probably use this for a beach bag. Usually they use Model's Prefer bags but this one is just a regular Priceline brand.

Covergirl Cosmetics Star Wars Colorlicious Lipstick Collection Review & Swatches

Covergirl Cosmetics Star Wars Colorlicious Lipstick Collection Review & Swatches

The giant nerd in me was incredibly excited when I heard that Covergirl was releasing a Star Wars collection and I knew that I had to grab at least a few bits and pieces. I decided to grab the four Colorlicious lipsticks as I'm a little bit addicted to lip products. 

Covergirl Cosmetics Star Wars Colorlicious Lipstick Collection Review & Swatches

There are four shades available in the collection. I was super disappointed to find that the lipsticks did not have names, however when I looked up the collection online, they actually do but they just aren't printed on the actual tubes which I found strange.

I actually like the packaging of this collection. I was expecting the packaging to look tacky, but I think it's done pretty well.

October Empties

October Empties - Sweetaholic Beauty

October was a long month, but we're finally done with it. We're another glorious month closer to Christmas, and I've made a few positive changes in my life so I will hopefully be ending this year on a high note. I've also gone to part time at work which means more time for blogging - yay!

I didn't really use up too many products this month, so hopefully I'll have some more next month.

Fizzy Lizzy Bath Halloween Pack Haul

Fizzy Lizzy Bath Halloween Pack Haul - Sweetaholic Beauty

Every day is Halloween to me, so when Fizzy Lizzy Bath released a super duper limited edition Halloween pack, I just couldn't resist. Just in time for the spooky day, these goodies arrived mostly undamaged (just two didn't survive the trip but that's okay, they still work just the same.) Since Halloween I've had the chance to try a few of them, so I thought I would share my haul and some first impressions.

Donut Frankenbomb in Froot Loops

Sadly this one did not survive shipping, but it smelt amazing anyway. Being that it smelt just like Froot Loops, I had to try it out. It made my bath smell incredibly yummy and look oh so pretty.

Haunted House Bomb in Toffee Apple


This one smells just like Halloween to me. Delicious toffee apple makes me think of the spooky season and really makes me wish Australia celebrated Halloween more. I'm so excited to try this one out but I'm saving it for a nice cool evening.

Natura Siberica Maximum Volume Oblepikha Shampoo & Conditioner Review*

Natura Siberica Maximum Volume Oblepikha Shampoo & Conditioner Review

A little while ago, I received a few products from newly launched range Natura Siberica. If you haven't heard of this brand just yet, it's an all natural brand direct from Siberia, hence the name. (Clever, see what I did there?) The package I received was full of pine cones and leaves, and it was just gorgeous. Except when you think it's too gorgeous to throw out and you forget about it and the leaves die. Oops. Still pretty, though.

Two of the products I wanted to review today was the Natura Siberica Maximum Volume Oblepikha Shampoo & Conditioner. I'm going to be honest and tell you that I had no idea what Oblepikha is, but a quick Google search tells me it is some kind of Siberian berry. Pretty cool.

I was pretty impressed with these bottles. The packaging alone is to die-for, and when I discovered this range is available in Chemist Warehouse of all places (I was expecting really high end stores) I was pretty delighted. Especially as their entire range is fairly cost effective and nothing goes over $40.

Again I'm going to be honest with you. When I first smelt these products, I did not like the scent at all. It was incredibly natural smelling - which I suppose is to be expected - and it really jumped up my nose. I'll admit this did put me off a little, but things changed when I started using the products themselves.

Halloween Swap with The Sunday Mode

Halloween Swap with The Sunday Mode - Sweetaholic Beauty

This Halloween I had the pleasure of swapping with two lovely bloggers through the Bloggers United AU Halloween Swap, the first one being JoJo's Beauty (which you can read all about here) and of course the gorgeous Julia from The Sunday Mode. She was so lovely to swap with and turns out we're actually from around the same area of Melbourne! It would have been fun to meet up and exchange but we've both been so busy so we decided to do it the old-fashioned way and posted everything out. I actually love Julia's blog because she writes about pretty much everything - food, fashion, beauty, you name it! Make sure you check out her blog, because you'll be sure to find something you love.

Firstly can we just appreciate her packaging for a second there. I seriously felt like it was my birthday for a second when I opened this - I felt so special. It was way too pretty to even open! (Hence my lack of Halloween props in my photography - oops!) 

She also wrote me a gorgeous little card detailing why she chose what she did. It was really, really sweet.
