Zk'in Certified Organic Clarifying Exfoliator, with Natural Skin Refining Actives
-Clear Pores & Improves Skin Texture, All Skin Types, 100m, $39.95


This exfoliator left my skin feeling smooth and clear after using it. It ha quite a strong citrus/coffee scent, and felt like small coffee grounds. I liked the feeling of larger exfoliating particles on my face, so I really enjoyed this product. Although it is a more expensive product, the fact that it is all organic and I'm not putting chemicals on my face is a huge positive. It was also really effective so I believe its defiantly worth the price tag.

Zk'in Certified Organic Brightening and Hydrating Masque, Clinically Tested Anti-Ageing
-Enhances Complexion & Smooths Skin, Sensitive/Normal/Dry Skin Types, 65ml, $39.95


After using this product for the last few weeks Ive defiantly noticed a difference. My skin is a lot more smooth and supple, and my dry spots are disappearing. Unlike some other masks, this one doesn't ale me breakout, or leave me with oily skin. I wash it off in the shower, and it comes of really easily. It has a lovely smell of dark cocoa, which I found to be quite pleasant. I definitely recommend this product also.

After looking through the Zk'in website, I can see how much care they have taken to ensure their products are organic and free of nasty chemicals. I really look forward to trying more of their range in the future.

Love Katie xoxo

Beauty Review Friday #2

Today  I want to feature a few amazing Sukin products I love.














"This gentle creamy treatment promotes healthy skin circulation, refining texture and smoothness, leaving clean radiant skin."
I love this product and it is a non-abrasive, natural facial scrub. It manages to clean my skin and pores without clogging them with nasty chemicals. I use it every couple of days and rotate with another facial scrub. For only $9.95, this really is an affordable natural facial scrub.










"This alcohol-free, skin hydrating mist combines chamomile and rosewater to help soothe, tone and cool tired skin. Use after cleansing or whenever your skin feels tired or stressed. Perfect for hot days, long flights or long days in an air-conditioned environment."

I always take this travelling and on plane flights as it keeps my face hydrated and refreshed. There's nothing worse than hoping off a 10-hour flight feeling shrivelled up and dry. A perfect travel companion and a convenient size. This product costs $9.95 also.

Beauty Review Friday #1

So today's beauty product review regards two of my favourite all-in-one items from The Body Shop.

I absolutely love The Body Shop and their fresh and assured scents. They are always releasing new products to replace outgoing lines which is fantastic too! I have a bit of an addiction to trying their new fruity scents when they're released, and The Body Shop often has sales which is fantastic too.

The two items I'm reviewing today are The Body Shops

-All-In-One Instablur  $21.95

-All-In-One BB Cream  $21.95


















So I'll start with the All-In-One Instablur, which is priced at a reasonable $21.95. This product is made in Thailand if that interests you,
and comes in 25ml. This is also a universal product which works for everybody's skin tone.






















What The Body Shop says about this product

"Blur imperfections and get flawless photo-perfect skin with All-in-One™ Instablur™. 

As a five-action face perfecter, All-in-One™ Instablur™ works in five amazing ways to give you a fresh, flawless look in an instant. 

  • 12-hour shine control 
  • Pore smoothing, to reduce the appearance of pores 
  • Blemish Hiding
  • Complexion unifying, for an even skin tone 
  • Make-up extending, for fewer touch-ups during the day!" 
I absolutely love this product and would definitely say it does all of that. It works so well as a base for makeup, and doesn't have a very strong scent at all. It gives the skin a soft feel, and makeup sits well on top of it. I use Instablur over a light facial hydration product, and don't usually use a moisturiser under this product. I would definitely recommend if you're looking for a new makeup base, and this product has never caused my skin to break out.

The other product is the All-In-One BB Cream  which is at the same price of $21.95. This is a colour-adapting tinted cream. This product is made in the USA and comes in 25ml also. You can get this BB cream in five shades from 00 to 05. My skin is very light so I use 00, and it seems like a good match. You are able to test it out in store to find the perfect match.






















What The Body Shop says about this product

"Our new All-In-One™ BB cream transforms from a white cream to suit your skin tone. Pigment-filled capsules burst when applied to the skin, releasing the colour inside. Just blend for a perfect match and an even, undetectable finish. It’s make-up and skincare in one. 


  • Adapts to your skin tone 
  • Light to medium coverage 
  • Even finish 
  • 24-hour hydration 
  • Non-clogging"
This product works so well and is the BB cream I use when I go out and want a nice light coverage. It blends so well into the face as it has capsules of pigment that release colour as you blend it into your skin. This gives it the ability to suit your face exactly as it is perfect at blending into your skin colour. I would definitely recommend that you go into a Body Shop store and test out this awesome product!

I'm sure you'll see posts about other Body Shop items from me in the future, as they are one of my favourite brands.

Hope you have a great weekend,
