Shop shop shopping

I've not done much shopping lately, but I did take a recent trip to Myer to stock up on some everyday useful goodies :)

I love Trilogy Rosehip oil and when they had a Trilogy deal recently I snapped up 3 bottles since I use a few drops of the stuff everyday. It wasn't the best deal I've seen (ages ago they were buy one get one free) but good enough to stock up. Do you use Rosehip oil and if so, which brand? I've heard good things about another brand (escapes my mind for now) but I first used Trilogy so have continued despite them not being the cheapest on the market.

When I was in the US I was on the lookout for a portable retractable or lidded foundation brush. Can you believe they're pretty difficult to find! I did know Ecotools make it, but they're hard to find stockists unless I ordered online (which I wasn't willing to pay postage for) but then I came back to Oz and found this el cheapo Manicare version! It's flat and skinny and not too long so perfect makeup bag size and great for travel. I hate when you travel and makeup brushes get all over everything else.


I finally got my hands on a round brush for blow drying (I know, a bit behind the times!) This was from one of my favourite shops, SA Health & Beauty which is a treasure trove of beauty steals and deals. Not only that, they have available professional products in bulk which are difficult to find elsewhere.

What are your latest beauty buys?

  1. I bought Sukin Rose hip oil. But it sat on my face and did not absorb that well. Switched to La clinica which uses a jojoba oil base and it absorbs better and not as oily.

    1. I rarely use rose hip oil directly on my skin, I usually mix it in with my moisturiser and it works well! It never feels like its sitting on my face unabsorbed and I definitely feel like my skin heals quicker with any marks fading.

      Was sukin cheap?

    2. Erm... i think it was $17 with their full sized face moisturiser thrown in as a bonus. I had what i thought was a very dry and flakey patch. Little did I know it was booo eczema! So I thought I needed RHO. :S

    3. Oh that is good value if the size is decent! I remember reading about your woes with eczema on your blog - I totally understand i have a ridiculously complicated form of eczema!

  2. I use Akin, prefer it over Trilogy and is cheaper :-)

    1. Yes I've heard Akin is cheaper so have been tempted to use it...I might have to investigate :)
