| Weekend Wanderings | Benefit Brow Bar Opens at MYER Adelaide City | The Body Shop Haul | LUSH Easter Treats | Tasty Eats | NOTD |


Weekend Wanderings around Adelaide City. This past weekend my brother was a guest of Mr W and I. Did I tell you Mr W and I now live together? :D Whilst my brother was staying we decided to make the most of our time with shopping / eating / drinking coffee / repeat. 

The NEW MYER Adelaide City Beauty Hall was my first point of call. The Benefit Brow Bar had opened a day previous and I was eager to check it out! 
Isn't it just gorgeous? 


I took part in the BENEFIT #MascaraSwap. Bring in an old mascara to donate, get a cute sample of the Benefit They're REAL Mascara. I also received a beauty makeover by the lovely Sam and sample size of Benefit's POREfessional Primer as I have wanted to see how it works for my skin.


Have you visited the NEW MYER Beauty Hall?

Recently I have been researching facial cleansing oils and even asked your opinion on Instagram (find me via @profound_feline). I received some fantastic recommendations, such as Dr Lewinn's range & The Body Shop Camomile Silky Cleansing Oil. Thank you! Therefore, whilst looking in The Body Shop I decided to purchase the Camomile Silky Cleansing Oil along with a delicate muslin cloth. After a weeks use, I am impressed. I will provide a full review after a months trial :)

Have you tried Cleansing Oils? If so, do you have a favourite?  

Did you know The Body Shop now stock 750ml Shower Gels?! At $19.95 AUD this is a great bargain in comparison to the standard $12.95 AUD for 250ml. I am wanting to buy a BIG bottle of the Satsuma Shower Gel, but they never seem to have it in stock. 

Not popular, OR too popular? 


In my forever occurring visits to LUSH I spotted the NEW Easter goodies released to tempt my lush fancies. The sweet little 'Easter Bunny Bubble Bars' smelt beautiful. The 'Carrot Soap' was an equally eye-catching idea. I love anything orange


I resisted the temptation to purchase. Instead I slathered my hands in 'Dream Cream Body Lotion' and helped my brother make a purchase. Good sister. He picked up the Limited Edition LUSH 'Freeze Shower Gel'. Freeze is made with peppermint, but you also notice scents of orange, bergamot, & soothing aloe and refreshing sea salt.

                          
                            
My brother and I enjoyed the MOST delicious lunch, brunch & coffee together over the weekend!

Pan seared Atlantic salmon on a bed of snow pea & broccolinni with crispy Asian noodles & miso dressingRoyal Eggs Benedit - Smoked Salmon with Asparagus & Hollandaise Sauce. A Hudson's Marble Mocha, that's white chocolate and coffee. A sweet treat, no need to add sugar! :) They were just as tasty as they look in pictures.                   


The weather had been gloomy ALL week, the weekend came along and the sun was out! I opted for 'Peppermint Cream' from the NEW ELES Brighton Collection. Love the minty green pop of colour, it makes me happy! A FULL review of the 12 polish ELES Brighton Collection will be LIVE on Profound Feline in coming weeks. It is a beautiful collection.


Easter time is all about hope, love, and happy living. Happy Easter to you and your family! I hope you are having a safe and chocolate bunny filled Easter :)


I would love to hear about your Weekend Wanderings.

| Kosmea 'Rose Hand Cream' | Media Launch Event |

Last Wednesday evening I was invited, along with fellow Adelaide beauty / lifestyle / fashion bloggers and media, to the launch of the NEW Kosmea Rose Hand Cream. The beautiful event was held at Kosmea HQ right here in Adelaide, South Australia. On the night I was interested to learn that Kosmea are stocked in over 1,700 stores throughout Australia and in 7 countries! What a fantastic accomplishment. I love supporting local SA products in all forms!

    

The evening was hosted by Olivia Jenkins, author of the 'Clear Skin Project' and daughter of Marie Jenkins, Kosmea Company Founder and Business Manager at Kosmea Australia. It was an inspiration and pleasure to hear from Olivia about Kosmea, their products releases for 2014, & idea behind launching the NEW Kosmea Rose Hand Cream.
"The Kosmea Rose Hand Cream has been formulate to protect and nourish, leaving hands soft and youthful"  -Kosmea Australia
Upon entering Kosmea HQ I was immediately veiled with the scent of roses & immersed in a sea of pink hues. The room was filled with excitedly chatting bloggers, and this was just a taste of what was to come of a beautiful evening.

To celebrate the launch of the Kosmea Rose Hand Cream, we were treated to champagne and delicious treats. As soon as I lay eyes upon the delicate pink cupcakes I knew one (or two) had to be mine :)

How about just one more rose cupcake?
 

Kosmea kindly sent us happily home with a 'goodie bag' containing their Facial Cleansing Wipes, the Rose Hand Cream, and an exquisite flavoured tea from Pukka (I am sipping it as I write this post).


NOW if you are new to Kosmea products of just want to be well informed. Here are the main reasons that I love Kosmea and their product range:

NO mineral oils
NO artificial colours
NO petrochemicals
NO artificial fragrances
NO sodium lauryl sulphate
NO animal ingredients
NOT tested on animals
Recyclable packaging

Even though we were able to trial the Rose Hand Cream at the event, it has been a pleasure to trial it at home - with daily applications. The skin enriching oils of rose hip, jojoba, and olive oil help to hydrate and replenish my skin, whilst the aloe vera, vitamin E & white tea extract protect against the signs of ageing (i hope)!

So, after a weeks use, what are my initial thoughts of Kosmea's Rose Hand Cream?
  • Delicate fresh rose aroma is calming and relaxing (I apply just before bed time)
  • It is a very nourishing cream
  • Sinks in to the skin almost immediately - no sticky / greasy residue 
  • Gives a silky feel to hands after application and lasts for some time
  • I feel good using the product as it has NO artificial perfumes. The rose scent is the REAL THING - Damascus Rose Flower Water with Rosewood Oil.
  • Convenient size that easily fits into my handbag or on my bedside table. 
 
The Kosmea Rose Hand Cream retails for $19.95 50ml and is available at David Jones, Terry White Chemists, and selected pharmacies and health food stores.
