Osea Malibu are probably the brand i get asked most about as far as deals so i had to share this awesome offer with you!


From today (Friday, May 26th) until Monday May 29th at 11:59pm PST, you can get a FREE Atmosphere Protection Cream (ordinarily $48) with any purchase of $125 or more.

Lots of you know why this moisturizer is one of my all time favorites but just in case, you can read about it here or see my videos mentioning it here and here. Its an incredible moisturizer that both myself and my husband love and stick to. Gentle yet effective at moisturizing and balancing skin.


If you're wanting to take advantage of this as a gift with purchase, here are some products i recommend:
Of course they have heaps of other awesome products too so let me know what you end up picking up if you decide to go for it!

One great thing about having combo skin is that at some point you're probably going to try skincare for every different skin type trying to find what works. In doing this, i found a new love in the Derma E Vitamin A Glycolic Cleanser!


Since i have mixed concerns when it comes to my skin; something for anti-aging, oily skin and exfoliating is right up my alley. The glycolic acid, marine plant extracts and papaya work to chemically (vs physically via scrubs/beads) exfoliate the skin and improve cell turnover, unclogging pores and revealing fresh skin in the process.

I love using this in the evenings in the shower once i've removed makeup to ensure theres nothing left lurking in my pores, this seems especially effective when coupled with the Foreo Mini for the ultimate gentle exfoliation and cleansing!

The scent is similar to medicated face washes but much lighter and very fresh and i've had no irritation at all with this. I tend to get redness around my nose if exfoliators are too harsh so thats a relief!

After loving this so much, i'll definitely be looking into what else is in this range and already have my eye on the treatment oil.


A good exfoliator and cleanser are especially important in the summer months if you're using SPF as they can clog your pores and cause breakouts so expect lots more pore-purging reviews this season.

Although i do like to make my own face wipes, i haven't found a very travel friendly way of bringing them with me so i still try store-bought ones from time to time. These Glacial Cleansing Cloths might be the closest thing to washing your face that the face wipe world has to offer.




Somehow the folks at Skyn Iceland have created a face wipe that foams, doesn't need to be rinsed and doesn't dry your skin out. I'm not sure how they managed that, but i like it!

The light foaming helps to remove so much more makeup with no irritation or redness after and my skin doesn't feel immediately parched. Its one of the freshest feelings i've had from a facewipe.

Theres "slip" to them so they easily remove eye makeup with minimal rubbing and no residue, but they do also offer eye makeup wipes in the same range.

All in all a great cleansing cloth for times when you really wish you could properly wash your face or for anyone who usually gets mild irritation from face wipes!


I also reviewed their sheet masks here.

I've been playing around with some new face masks lately and had a few questions on them so... here's the scoop!

I have combo skin, meaning i find it best to use different products on key areas. I use the more drying masks on my t-zone and others on the rest of my face.

All of these are vegan and the brands are Logical Harmony approved so you needn't feel guilty while you indulge.


Acure Cell Stimulating Facial Mask
I love using this mask when i feel my skin is dull or needs a general boost. The stem cells and growth factor work to revitalize cells but it also contains french clay to draw out impurities and nourishing oils provide moisture. A true multi-tasker perfect for combination skin or anti-aging concerns.
Derma e Purifying 2-in-1 Charcoal Mask
This bad boy is definitely more like a traditional clay or charcoal mask and its drawing abilities are impressive.
As the mask dries, you can clearly see little spots of oil where your pores are letting go of all the congestion in them.
Great for greasy or congested skin as well as a spot treatment on breakouts.






Charlotte Tilbury Goddess Skin Clay Mask
C Tilb. created something quite fantastic here. This mask is equally as nourishing as it is clarifying and you can even apply this to your lips!
My skin felt taught yet soft and hydrated after using it. Definitely a great quick-fix for times when you wanna feel great about your skin NOW.




Yes To Coconut Ultra Hydrating Face Mask
If you've used something too drying or just been out in the elements, this is like first aid for the skin!
It also contains clay so it'd be perfect for anyone with dry skin and breakouts as it'd treat both!
A great winter skincare addition.
