I know i always say this at the beginning of most of my posts however i truly am sorry that i have not posted in ages. After lusting over the clarisonic Mia for ages i finally managed to get one at a cheaper price from the US thanks to my lovely friend Roxanne.

I didn't mention this earlier however i also now own the Olay pro X cleansing tool which was recently introduced in Australia. I have been using the Olay Pro X tool for about a month now and i like it but i find it may be a little too harsh for me.

I tried my Clarisonic Mia this morning and still need to get used to the sonic vibration instead of the spinning brush that functions on the Olay pro X tool. I would love to do a detailed comparison of both after i have tried them both longer :)

I know i may sound greedy but i currently also have my eyes on the Foreo Luna mini. I have heard several famous youtubers favouring the Foreo Luna over their clarisonic Mia. I only realised this after watching AprilAthen7's video comparing both of them but by the time i watched it i had already purchased my clarisonic MIA. For those of you that have never heard of the Foreo luna i highly suggest checking them out. Yes they are a little pricier than Clarisonic Mia but in the long run you end up saving more as the Foreo devices do not require a replacement brush head like the Clarisonic devices. The picture below is my new Clarisonic Mia in the colour peony and the one below it is the Foreo mini in the colour magenta which retails for $179 on their website.



If any of you own the Fore Luna mini do let me know. :)

my 2 current/new beauty finds

Hi everyone,

I do hope you lovely readers are doing well. I have recently been trying various new products and i have a few new discoveries that i would like to share with you guys.

I am pretty sure most of you would have heard or seen some of these items before but nevertheless i still want to share them.

Okay the first 2 products are very popular products here in Australia. I got to know about them via DommSmiles on Youtube. Click here if you would like to check her out. She's an amazing fellow Australian youtuber.

Anyways the first one is Lucas Papaw.

it comes in 3 different sizes but the one i use is the tube one as it is more user friendly packaging wise. Anyways it states that you can use this for boils, burns, chafing, cuts, cracked skin etc but for me i use this for my dry chapped lips and it works wonders. Papaw is made from Papaya/Paw paw extract thus it is all natural however just be careful when buying Papaw as there are many brands out there and i recently found out that they all have a different consistency. Other brands are either more liquid or could also be more solid. I think Lucas Papaw has the consistency just right. Domm swears by this in her videos and she says it is the best lipbalm ever and i would have to agree with that.

The 2nd item that Domm also recommends in her videos is Witch Hazel. She says that it has done wonders for her skin so i recently decided to try it out. and again this product is made from Witch hazel extract which is natural and good for your skin. I use this as a toner replacing my old one which was the Clean and clear blackheads one. 
After just a few days of using it i have noticed that my skin has gone much softer and it has helped dry out some acne that I have. Only thing I do not like about this is its rancid scent and high alcohol contents. but other than that it is all good. I highly recommend both of them to you guys. You can get both Lucas Papaw and witch hazel from Chemist warehouse here in Australia :)

If you guys have tried either product before let me know what you guys think about it. Have a nice day and thanks for reading.
