Product Review: Nutrimetics Lip Apeel

A while I go I hosted a Nutrimetics party and one of the things I bought was the Lip Apeel. The Lip Apeel is a two in one product, a lip exfoliant and a lip conditioner.  Lip exfoliants are great to use when you are going to be wearing lipsticks or something of the sort because it keeps your lips looking smooth and good.

They say that the Lip Apeel step 1 has microcrystalline wax to remove lifeless skin cells and lipstick residue from the lips and sea fern concentrate to firm and plump skin on the lips. Step 2 has Sandalwood extract to soothe and nourish lips.

What do I say?  I think this is a great product. The lip exfolient works really well. But be careful not to over use it because it does take some skin off. It’s great at removing all the dead skin and leaving your lips feeling great. Your lips feel really smooth and soft even before applying the balm after. The Balm is a really beautiful product. Overall I would have to say it’s a winner.

Colour Me Happy!

I’m not afraid of colour. Anyone that knows me knows that I don’t mind rocking a bright shirt or some pattern clashing jacket and jeans. And don’t even get me started on my shoe and handbag collection. But one place I don’t generally add heaps of colour is in my make-up.

When it comes to cheek colour I generally keep it fairly “natural” looking, most of the time I don’t rock a lip colour and if I do it’s generally red or pink and most of my eye shadows are naturals/ earth tones whether it be matte, metallic or dark.

However I do inject some colour in with eyeliners. I find eyeliners are such a great way to jazz up (yep I just said jazz up) a make-up look. I also like that you can get really playful colours and because you only apply them on a small portion of your face they aren’t too over powering.

So my collection consists of…

Mirenesse’s Tight Liner in Sapphire Blue. 

Illamasqua’s Fine Pencil in Classic and Uncanny. Illamasqua’s Precision Ink in Alchemy. 

Nutrimetics’ ShimmerEyes in Neon andTwilight. 

Nars’ Larger Than Life in Bourbon Street. 

MAC’s Eye Kohl in Phone Number. MAC’s Tchnakohl Liner in Purple Dash. 

Stila’s Smudge Stick in Lionfish.

My favorites are Stila’s Smudge Stick and Nars’ Larger Than Life. They not only have great colours but they also apply really well and last a really long time (I’m talking these babies are still on after a Bikram session). I’m going to Europe later this year so I will defiantly be getting these in a few more colours!

Nutrimetics Haul

So I posted last week that I had a Nutrimetics Party and had a great afternoon with some of my girls.

I also may have done a spot of shopping! Over the years of going to about 50 Nutrimetics parties, I have tried out a lot of their products and I thought I would give a few a bit of a test run. Also Nutrimentcs had a few deals on so I got a few things extra as well (YAY free stuff!).

The first thing I bought was the Ultra Care Peel Crème. 

This product works like a normal peel with natural fruit acids and also doesn’t contain any chemicals. I’m always trying to reduce the pores on my nose so hopefully this product helps. I also got a free Ultra Care Complexion Refiner, which is another powder exfoliator product.  I feel a review coming along…

I also got a Ultra Care Lip Apeel which is a lip exfoliator and intense hydration lip cream. I also got a free ultra gloss lip colour with it. I got Nude.

I’ve tried a few of the Nutri-Spa products before, but I hadn’t tired the Relaxing Eye Pillows so I thought I would give them a go. 

They are described as a 5-minute spa in a jar with Malachite, grapefruit and cucumber extracts.  

Since I’m obsessed with coloured eyeliners I got 2 shimmer eye pencils, one in Neon and Twilight.

I wasn’t going to get anything else but then I saw that the Soul Renewal, which in a mandi kit in a jar, was only $10. So I got that as well.

Also for hosting the party and having people buy things I also got this…

Pretty awesome huh?! It’s the Nutri-Rich rewards pack, which contains the Nutri-Rich Bathing Bar, Nutri-Rich Intensive Lip Treatment, Nutri-Rich Oil, Nutri-Rich Body Crème and the Nutri-Rich Moisturizing Body Satin (which is the most amazing product! Everyone should have it in his or her bathroom).

I really look forward to trying these products out and no doubt will do a post of two reviewing some of them.

A bit of pampering

I’ve been to about 5 or 6 Nutrametics parties over the past year or so and they are always a bit of fun. I’ve been to a hot rock massage one, champagne and strawberries one, a make-up lesion one, so even if you aren’t interested in buying anything you can have a bit of fun.

So the last party that I went to I thought it would be fun to have my own. So on Sunday a few of the girls 

came over and we had a facial party.

I was a lot of fun and we got to try out so of the products. Although I love my skincare routine and I’m not really interested in changing what I’m using at the moment (can’t face not using my Rationale!) they do have some nice treatment and mask products and some of their make-up and body products are pretty good.

I did order a few things, which I’ll do a post on once they get here, but I also got these 2 products at the party.

Also because it was January and double rewards month each guest got a little body wash.

It was a lovely girlie Sunday afternoon.
