Fight Jet Lag with Spa Fresh Blends' Jet Lag Spritz

Hi everyone,
Jet Lag is so common to travellers on long-haul flights. I travel a lot and therefore experience jet lag a lot. Travellers, you are in luck because there is a great, innovative product out on the Aussie beauty market. This product is Spa Fresh Blends Jet Lag Spritz. The spritz keeps you refreshed on both sides of the Pacific Ocean so jet lag won't put a snag in your plans. This product is so innovative. The Jet Lag Spritz is designed to assist when travelling long distances and especially when crossing timezones. The use of this product helps to eliminate tiredness and anxiousness. This in flight relief really gets you back on track you arrive at your destination feeling rejuvenated and relaxed. The packaging is great. It is a green bottle with a cap to protective the dispenser. The packaging is a glass spray bottle. The great benefit about this is that the packaging is designed to take on board your flight. I really like this product. The spritz contains aqua, lime cold pressed essential oil, geranium essential oil and peppermint essential oil. All you have to do is give the product a little shake and spray it twice and inhale it through the nose every couple of hours. The scent of the spritz is very earthy and nice. I really like it. The product actually does wake you up and help alleviate tiredness and anxiety. Inhaling the product, made me feel more refreshed and motivated. I love this product because it really does work and makes a perfect travel buddy.

Inside My Travel Make-up Bag

Hey,
So this is showing what I would take in my travel bag. I usually travel to the US, so I generally don't pack a lot of make-up!

First I have my Sephora Make-up Bag. It is so nice and holds a lot.

This is my Revlon Travel Brush set. I like it because the set is so compact and is of good quality.

Next, I have my travel Benefit That Gal Primer which is great for keeping my foundation on all day.

This is my Loreal Paris Magic Smooth Souffle foundation which I love. The jar is really bulky so I would put it in a travel jar!

Next is my Clinique Acne Clearing Concealer and Maybelline Fit Me! Powder - must haves.

This is the Hard Candy Fox in a Box. It is good for blush, bronzer and just a nice colour!

I have travel Benefit Bad Gal Lash Mascara and Clinique High Lengths Mascara for different levels of drama.

Lastly, I have my Australis Colour Inject Mineral Lip gloss in Bellydance, for a playful look, and my GlamLips lip gloss in Summer Love, for a natural look.

Travel Series: Take a Look at some of my Bags!

I thought I would do a post today instead of tomorrow. Anyway, since I am going to Hawaii very soon, I am going to show you two of my bags. It if very brief and I did it as a video. Enjoy!

Organisation Series: Packing Toiletries for Travel

Organisation tips for packing toiletries when about to travel. It makes packing a lot easier! Trust me!

Don't you hate it when your toiletry bag is stuffed with twenty products and one leaks or you can't close the bag? Me too. I have quite a few tips to avoid this.
Tip 1: Stay on task
When you get distracted you lose track and end up taking two large hand creams instead one travel size. If you stay on topic, you will have a clear understanding of what you have packed.

Tip 2: Pack the necessary
Pack what you need. Prior to packing you can make a list. For examples, three lip glosses etc. Take the minimum and only take one of each thing as much as possible. So take one moisturiser instead of two. If you know you are going to be buying some products there, pack less.

Tip 3: Use Zip Lock bags
To avoid spillage, use zip lock bags. You can just buy them, from the supermarket and pack about two to four similar products in each bag.

Tip 4: Review what you have packed
After packing take a look at what you have and if it fits well, is it not too heavy and try to cut it down further. If you get distracted when you check your products again you can fix any mistakes that have occurred such as packing five lip glosses instead of three.

Tip 5: Use Travel Sized Products
This is vital. If you substitute products for travel sized versions, you will save heaps of space. The  best thing about them is that they are really affordable and cheap. I got most of my travel items from Priceline. They are great!

So they are my tips. I hope you enjoyed!

Travel Essentials

Travelling to America or to your cousin's house? Well with these Travel Essentials you won't be caught looking jetlagged or tired!


So instead of doing a Winter Essentials I thought I would do a Travel Essentials since I am going to Hawaii in less than three weeks.
My first travel essential is sunscreen. If your destination is in Summer or Spring or you are going to the beach, you will definitely need sunscreen. My favourite sunscreen is from the Neutrogena Ultra Sheer range because the sunscreen for your face actually applies on dry. It is great because it doesn't leave your skin oily.
Product to Try:
Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry Touch Sunscreen

My next travel essential is moisturiser and body lotion. These are two very important products because when you are on the plane your skin tends to dry out. Every now and them, apply moisturiser and body lotion because it hydrates your skin.
Products to Try:
Trilogy Very Gentle Moisturising Cream

Spa Paradisa Jasmine and Ylang Ylang Body Butter

Another essential is Cotton Pads. You never know when you need them and they are just fabulous. I know I use mine to apply toner and there is nothing else to say about this product beside they are great.
Products to Try:
Swisspers Make up Pads

The last travel essential is a bright lip gloss. This product always come in handy as you can add some fun to your look and even if you have no makeup on it can give you some more pizazz.
Product to Try:
Australis Colour Inject Mineral Lip gloss in Bellydance

Travel Series: Haul

Hi. So today I went shopping and bought some things from Priceline for when I go to Hawaii.

The first thing is 20 Round Make- up Pads from Swisspers. So I use cotton pads everyday to apply toner to my face as well as for make - up (occasionally). I didn't want to pack my pack of 80. This was great to pack as it is small and useful.
RRP: $1.09

The next product is Priceline Beauty Essentials Cosmetic Jars. This is great because it also comes with a spatula to scoop creams etc. It fits the international carry on regulations. I love how the jars are pink. How Cute! I using them to put my body butter in and something else too.
RRP: $5.99

This is the Swisspers Cucumber Facial Cleansing Wipes. I bought two packs; one for the plane so I can refresh my face and the other to remove any make up. These are really handy because they are small and great for travel.
RRP: $1.09 each

The last thing I bought is Kleenex Natural Antibacterial Hand Sanitiser. It not only kills 99.9% of bacteria but it also moisturises your skin. I am taking this on the plane because you don't know how many people go through the airport each day and it is good to keep clean.
RRP: $1.99

That was all. I recommend buying travel sizes of products because they take less space in your suitcase and are affordable.

Travel Series: Staying Protected from the Sun

The last thing you want on holidays is to be sunburnt. Trust me, I got sunburnt and it was not a pleasure at all. So below are some products I recommend using to protect your skin that are based on what I have. These are products below just for going shopping etc.

1. Trilogy Vital Moisturising Cream
This product contains SPF 15 and is a great two-in-one. So as well as moisturising your face you are also providing your face with protection. I know that some shopping centres or buildings are partially outside and also walking to go shop can be out in the sun. It is for all skin types and protects skin from UV rays. This also makes a great make-up base.

2. Australis Paparazzi Perfect HD Tinted Moisturiser
This is like the product above. It contains SPF 1. The thing that is different is that is gives you more coverage and hide all imperfections. So if you are looking for a product with more coverage, this is the one.

Travel Series: Getting Great Deals!

Sorry for the lack of posts over the weekend. I have been sick and busy. Today I cleaned my room and went to a family friends' house who love to travel. They were telling me about shopping Hawaii and I am in the mood to do a post to build up on the Travel Series!
When shopping in different countries such as the US, you can find bargains by a click of a button. All the stores you want to visit normally have websites. Most websites have a loyalty club or email sign up. Sign up to these because you will receive special offers from them which you can use in store. They always have some sort of benefit for you!

Travel Series: Samples & Plane Essentials

I'm still sick (sniffle) and decided to do the first Travel Series post about Samples and Plane Essentials in the way of beauty.
Yesterday I was browsing through my makeup and stumbled across some samples from show bags etc.

So, I realised how to use these to your advantage while travelling. When you are on a plane, your face gets dry. Everyone does, even if you have oily skin. To solve this problem, all you need to do is bring a few samples of moisturiser with you. If you don't have any, you can pick these up at your local Myer or David Jones.
If you have any other samples use them! I have a night renewal cream that I could put on before I go to sleep on the plane. I would avoid taking any cleanser as they involve water and the bathrooms are really tiny and inconvenient.

Moving on to Plane Essentials. I have three essentials so far for your skin when you are on the plane.
1. A Towelette or Cleansing Wipe
When you get the plane, you want to feel refreshed, right?
So using one cleansing wipe or towelette will freshen up your skin so you can enjoy your day.
I know when travelling to America and Hawaii, I mostly arrive in the morning of that same day!!

2. Body Lotion
As I mentioned above you skin can get dry. So use a body lotion to nourish your skin. You just have to apply it to your limbs and hands.

3. A lip balm
I live on lip balms and I would have to have one with me when I travel. I know when I sleep or travel my lips get really dry so that is why I carry my lip balm in my pocket.

Two of my Plane Essentials:
1. Burt's Bees Radiance Body Lotion

Of course when I am there I will be buying new beauty products to show you guys. You never know I might do a post while I am there. Leading up to this holiday I will be doing Hawaiian as well as travel themed posts. So if you have any request email us here! I am just so excited!

Recycle your Beauty Products!

Finished your bottle of toner and about to throw it in the bin? Well dont, because it's time to go green and re - use your beauty containers.
Everyone travels once in a while and you have to take your full size beauty products with you. This means less space in your suitcase for shopping!

Recipe for recycling your beauty products!

Ingredients:

 - Small empty bottles from beauty products (even samples)

Method:

1. Collect your bottles

2.Fill up your bottle with beauty products

Tips:

1. Try and match the products to the bottle e.g. Clinique Cleanser in a Clinique Cleanser bottle

2. If you can't match all products, redecorate and label the bottles to match the products

3. If you are going away for less than a week, using bottle from samples are ideal
