Natralus Natural Paw Paw Ointment Review

Hey Girlies,

So today I'm reviewing Natralus Natural Paw Paw Ointment.

Product overview.

This Paw Paw Ointment is made to relieve, soothe, protect and restore your skin and lips. This ointment contains more than 80mg/g of Certified Organic fresh fermented Carica Papaya which is more than two times the amount in Australia’s most recognized Paw Paw ointment brand.

Unlike many Paw Paw Ointments on the market this particular ointment contains no petrochemicals, no parabens, no mineral oil, no artificial fragrances and is colour free.

How I felt about it.

Okay, now first of all I was never that big on Paw Paw ointment, I've tried the Lucas’ Paw Paw ointment and could never get into the hype about it, to me it was just an expensive tube of petroleum jelly. Yuk!

Now ladies if you don’t already know why petroleum jelly is bad for you just read this and decide for yourself.

Natralus Paw Paw ointment is a godsend! Firstly the smell was amazing, not overpowering but more of a subtle fresh tropical scent. And the taste, Oh the taste! Yum! Almost all of what is applied to my lips is soon licked off. It goes on nice and smooth and unlike other brands it doesn’t go lumpy or crystallize. My lips have always felt like sandpaper but now they have never felt smoother, My partner doesnt cower away in fear of my crusty kisses anymore.

I had a mosquito bite on my ankle the other day and remembered that Paw Paw ointment is great for that so I slathered some on and to my surprise the itching went away really quickly. I also really love mixing a tiny amount with raw sugar to use as a lip scrub too!

Natralus Paw Paw ointment comes in 75g, 30g, 12g and 7g tubes, with the 12g tube including a lip applicator.

Price

$3.50 for a 7g tube on Pharmacyonline

I highly recommended this ointment to anybody who is looking for an alternative Paw Paw Ointment brand that does not contain petroleum. This is an absolute essential that you should keep in your handbag, first aid box and nappy bag.

I dare you not to love it.

Wotnot Facial Wipes Review

Hey Girlies,

So today I'm reviewing Wotnot facial wipes for oily/sensitive skin.

Product overview.

These facial wipes are made specifically for oily/sensitive skin. The wipes contain certified organic extracts from Australian pink grapefruit, papaya, rosehip and petitgrain and are made from 100% natural and biodegradable fibres. They also contain no drying alcohols and no petroleum oils so you can have peace of mind that no harsh chemicals are coming into contact with your skin, it's also free from parabens, artificial fragrances and a few other nasties that too many other facial wipes on the market contain

How I felt about it.

Now as strange as it may seem I have been using generic brand sensitive baby wipes as a makeup remover for as long as I can remember and could never justify spending the extra money on a product that was equal to my home brand wipes, I'm happy to announce that has changed! These wipes are my new go-to beauty essential. The wipe felt so gentle and lavish against my skin I almost couldn't bear to throw it away; clutching onto it like a hoarder with an old newspaper. My makeup came off with ease and I was happily surprised that even my waterproof mascara came off with little effort when  usually I'm left looking like a panda. Another great thing I adored is how moist the wipe stayed, usually I find most wipes are quite dry and I end up needing about 3 or 4 at a time to effectively remove all my makeup, I only needed 1 of these wipes.
As well as the overall quality of these wipes one of the main things I love about this brand is that a percentage of the sales go to Bear Cottage Childrens Hospice, which is a facility that children with terminal illnesses and their families can go to seek rest and treatment in a home style environment. My sister has suffered kidney disease and has had 3 kidney transplants since she was 6 and places like the bear cottage were a godsend to my parents, so I am very happy to support a brand that not only delivers a high quality product but also supports a charity close to my heart.

Price

$7.95 for a 25pk of wipes on Wotnot

I highly recommended these wipes to anybody who is acne prone with sensitive skin who wants great makeup removal with no harsh rubbing and who loves supporting a good cause.

DIY acne mask

Hey Girlies,

Today I'm going to be sharing with you my favorite DIY acne mask which uses the astringent properties of witch Hazel teamed with the powerful toxin removing product Activated Charcoal.

What you need.
1 tsp witch hazel
1 tsp aloe vera gel
1 tsp Activated Charcoal Powder
1 tsp water
A pinch of sea salt ( I use ground Himalayan Pink rock salt)
A small container

Method
Meausre out and mix all the ingredients together in the container being careful not to get any of the mixture on your clothes or benchtop.
(Note: It will be black, but don't be alarmed)

Apply the mask to your face and let it sit for 15 minutes.
Rinse off with warm water and pat your face dry.

I use this mask every second day to help with my acne and I have noticed my skin isn't as oily as it was before I started using it regularly and my breakouts are now less severe.

Give it a go and let me know what you think.

Palmers Olive Butter Formula Review

Hey Girlies,

Today I am trying out Palmer's Olive Butter Formula.

The look

The Palmer’s Olive Butter Formula I tested is in a striking olive green

400ml pump bottle.

Product Overview

This product is designed as an all over body lotion that moisturizes and provides antioxidants to the skin, while the bottle states “Organic therapy for healthy skin” the product itself is not organic, but rather it contains certified organic extra virgin olive oil which has been cold pressed to provide the highest quality olive oil.

How I felt about it

Upon applying the product the first thing I noticed was the amazing scent of olive oil, while not overpowering or as strong as other Palmer’s products the scent was still beautiful. It glides over the skin like silk and while it took a few minutes to be absorbed my skin felt remarkably smooth to touch afterwards and left no greasy residue, the pump action style bottle also made it a breeze to give me the exact amount of product I needed.

Cost

$9.99 at Priceline

I recommend this product to anybody who has dry skin and is looking for a new body lotion to try; you may just be pleasantly surprised at how brilliant it is.

Intro

Hey Girlies,

What makes feeling beautiful attainable? It’s simple; Confidence.

We all want to feel pretty and confidence in our beauty is something many of us desire; unfortunately the beauty the media portrays is often unhealthy and unattainable.

As a young woman I often find myself trying new and sometimes bizarre ways to make myself feel beautiful, from fad diets to slapping as much foundation as humanly possible over my face. But all the dieting and makeup in the world wont make me beautiful; it’s the confidence I have in myself that will.

That’s why I’m here, to offer support, advice, tips and product reviews about everything beauty to inspire ladies everywhere that they can feel beautiful in every manner. Every Sunday I will have a new post, whether it be a quote, a product review or a message for you all.

“Nothing makes a woman more beautiful than the belief that she is beautiful” – Sofia Loren
