Mio Magic

The Mio Range of Body Care products have to be one of my favourite “Body Care” brands. The packaging, texture and results! Not to mention they strive to have “No Nasties” in their creams. I just love everything about them!

Get Wasited: A little goes a long way – just one pump and you’re on your way to a firmer, flatter tummy. I lost 1 cm while using this product. Ok so I can’t guarantee it’s ALL on the Mio Get Wasted and not incorporating Pilates and banting – but interesting that I dropped another cm while using this – as I’ve not changed much else in my daily routine. I love the fresh, minty fragrance and the slight, cooling tingle it leaves on my skin. Also, how easily it absorbs. Read more on how it works here.

LOVE this super nourishing, thick yet absorbant oil. The Activist Firming Body Oil strengthens and firms the skin – leaving it soft and supple. The texture is amazing! Read how it works here. If you prefer a cream, it also comes in a rich, thick and luscious body butter (Future Proof Firming Active Body Butter) which just feels so pampering and nourishing. Again you’ll find with all these products a little goes a long way. I just want to lather it on THICK though, it just feels so good! A great little investment for the festive season! :) xx

Local Lovelies

Keep hydrated this winter with these local lovelies.

 

1.) Oh Lief: Besides using all their baby products on Harry, I really love this range made up of certified organic ingredients. I’m currently enjoying the antioxidant, Green Rooibos & Camomile Body Oil. A light oil that leaves my skin feeling hydrated and soft. I love the pump bottle that’s rather light weight too, which makes it great for traveling, or keeping in your handbag.

2.) Wema Bodycare: I’ve just discovered this range and am so in love with the vibrant, international looking packaging. The whipped Mousse Rose Geranium is incredible. The texture really is like a thick, whipped mousse that melts on your finger tips into a beautiful moisturising oil – and smells gorgeous, I can’t stop wanting to apply it! The mousse contains deeply nourishing cocoa butter, shea butter grapeseed oil & Coconut oil.

See more of their products here, like their incredibly invigorating and refreshing foot scrub, a treat for winter feet!

3.) Healing Earth Organic Spa Brand: This award winning brand can be found at plenty of Spa’s – and I’m loving their indulgent & relaxing, thick body butter. Like a thick, waxy paste, it feels incredibly rich & luxurious. The products are inspired by Africa’s ancient energy, healing traditions and natural richness. This body butter is an excellent intensive treatment for dry, winter skin. 

4.) Optiphi Body Curve Body Lotion: This fresh looking pump bottle boasts a light weight moisturiser with 3 core benefits. It being a moisture retainer, reservoir and barrier protector. The optiphi® Curve Body Lotion keeps the skin hydrated 24 hours a day with gradual moisture delivery to the skin.  It is a daily body moisturiser which promotes skin vitality. Lather generously for soft, smoothes skin.

Love your skin

Woolworths has launched a lovely body product range called Love Your Skin which is approved by Beauty Without Cruelty. I’ve been testing out the Extreme Moisture Body Cream with cocoa butter vitamin e and glycerine to put heaps of moisture back into your skin! It smells absolutely gorgeous leaving a beautiful vanilla, almond-like scent on your skin as well as being luxuriously creamy. Mmm Love this! Dying to get my hands on the Dry Body Oil next!

 

Spiezia organics

I’ve been loving these 100% organic products by Spiezia. In their gorgeously bright, designer looking jars, these natural products are not short of pamper worthy.

Says Spiezia:

NO PARABENS – linked to oestrogen overproduction and breast cancer.
NO SYNTHETIC FRAGRANCES – often associated with allergic reactions.
NO SYNTHETIC COLOURS – often associated with allergic reactions.
NO SILICONES – coat the skin, impeding its natural function.
NO MINERAL OILS – derived from petroleum, have a tendency to block the skin.
NO PHTHALATES – reported to have toxic impact on human and animal life.
NO EDTA (Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid ) – doesn’t readily biodegrade.
NO PROPYLENE GLYCOL – derived from petroleum and used.
NO CARBOMER – derived from petroleum.
NO DEA (Diethanolamine) – associated with known carcinogens.
NO SLS (Sodium Lauryl Sulphate) – recognized as one of the most irritating cleaning ingredients in skin care products.
NO SLES (Sodium Lauryl Ethanol Sulphate) – a milder form of SLS but still irritating to the skin.

The Lemongrass and Marigold Body Scrub is a scrub with a difference. It’s packed with natural goodness including the pulp of the organic ingredients used and contains sugar as not to dry the skin out. Skin felt deliciously coated in moisture due to the olive oil! You’ll see when you try it out – it’s a jar of goodness!

Absolutely loved this Body Firming Oil. I am sure I used more than recommended each day but it just felt and smelt so good! My skin felt so soft and supple after using it.

Says Spieza “A true cellulite buster!  Body Firming Oil works to eliminate toxins from fatty tissue and stimulate circulation. Massage the Body Oil into the skin after showering while the skin is still warm and the pores open to allow it to soak in deeply. Green Tea maceration and Peppermint essential oils break down cellulite, and the Sesame, Olive and Jojoba Oils moisturise dry skin”
