When it comes to protecting your skin from the harsh winter season, don’t rest on your laurels. The best way to really protect your skin is with one of these heavy duty body creams. They’re essential for weathering the weather, but which is a winner for your skin? Today, I am going to review one of the body cream that I have been using every single night after my hot shower. It’s the Nellie Tier New Zealand – Ylang Ylang & Bergamot Body Cream. You must have already read about my post on the daylotion I use from this brand. If you haven’t read it yet, Please read it here. Now, Before starting this post, I must admit that I have used body butters and creams from almost all the famous brands like Body Shop, L’Occitane etc. I would say quality wise, Nellie Tier stands as equally as L’Occitane.

As temperatures reverse, so does your skin’s moisture. As the weather gets colder and humidity falls, our skin can become drier and more easily irritated, even flaky and itchy. All of the body will be affected, not just the face. We have to constantly fight back against the parched, flaky, itchy season. Winter body care is hence really important. Today I am talking about a body lotion that I have been using to fight dryness.

Keeping your skin hydrated is the No. 1 anti-aging treatment. Smooth, moisturized skin looks refreshed and youthful. A good hydrating mask intensely hydrate skin and also helps increase skin’s ability to retain moisture. So your skin will possess softness and suppleness like never before. Cold weather has already blown in Auckland, it’s time to think about protecting your skin from the drying and skin-changing effects. A step up from your serum and regular cream, a mask seals in much needed moisture while also targeting other top concerns—clogged pores, dullness, dry patches and acne. There are a lot of hydrating masks out there in the market…Are you someone who is confused on what to choose? I have reviewed Loccitane Angelica hydration mask here and Loccitane Immortelle Mask here. Immortelle Face Mask was my absolute favorite..But, the price tag of 115 NZD always put me down. That’s when I found this wonderful mask from Nellie Tier.
Let me start this post by a confession, I am obsessed with blushes. I have a lot of them…Seeing this you will know why I love this blush so much. Look at the packaging..Anyone will instantly fall in love with it. Makeup Revolutions’s heart blushers are the cheaper option (or dupes) to the Too Faced Sweethearts Perfect Flush Blush. I have already reviewed Makeup Revolution hearts highlighter here. In this post I am going to review the Blushing Heart Triple Baked Blusher.

Estee Lauder is famous for its skin care products than makeup. But still there is one foundation which is very much popular and well received. The Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay In Place Makeup – one product that I really longed to try. Ever since I started seeing You Tube tutorials, I’d see every blogger raving about this product. The expensive price tag always made my mind slip off the Estee Lauder stalls…It was on my last birthday where my besties decided to shock me by gifting me this…Yay! Finally, I got a chance to try this foundation. I got it in late September’14 and I am using it since then. My shade is Cashew 3W2 – medium to golden warm beige. For reference I am an NC40 in MAC.

It’s being long that I haven’t review any foundation and so when Renji gave me the opportunity to try out Za PERFECT FIT Liquid Foundation I couldn’t say ‘No’ and jump to accept the PR sample from the Za on the behalf of my friend. So, starting with a big thank you note to my friend Renji and Za team, India for sending me this foundation.
From the day I received the sample, I am using this foundation only to test. As now due to change of weather so it is really easy for me to test the foundation in different climatic conditions. I receive the shade OC30 which is half shade darker than my actual skin tone (am NC35 in mac).let’s jump into the review…
