Hey dolls,
So many people have been asking me what skincare products I use and I have wanted to write a review on my fave for the longest time. I have featured Kinvara Skincare on my YouTube Channel and on my Instagram but never gone in dept on the range before.
I started using the Active Rosehip Day Cream last June when SoSueMe gave me a pot to try. I always trust Suzanne with her recommendations because she knows her stuff when it comes to beauty. After I finished the day cream I knew I had to repurchase it and also wanted to try the Rosehip Face Serum as Sue had said it was one of her desert island products. Kinvara also sent me their award winning Absolute Cleansing Oil to try out.
I have been using these three products daily and I have to say I am obsessed. They not only smell so divine, they are so refreshing and nourishing on my skin. Each product has its own unique smell and is infused with so many organic ingredients. The thing I love about all the Kinvara products is the way my skin feels just after I have applied them. My skin always feels so soft and the products are so luxurious, I feel like I've been for a facial everyday.
Lets get into each product indiviually.
Active Rosehip Day Cream - €24
It is clear from the list of ingredients that Kinvara only use the best and most natural. I read on the Kinvara website that they love the old adage that, 'Food is medicine'! So if 93% of their ingredients are from edible food source, then it says a lot about their products.
Rosehip Face Serum - €28

This baby is by far my favourite product from the range. It smells of lavender which if one of my favourite scents, it also leaves my skin feeling like silk without any residue left on my skin. I can apply my foundation almost immediately after apply this cream and it provides an even canvas so that my foundation glides on flawlessly.

Rosehip Face Serum - €28
This face serum is unlike any serum I have ever tried before, it is so fresh and packed full of amazing fruit extracts and essential oils, it leaves my skin so smoothe and refreshed. I use it twice daily before my face cream and sometimes, this alone is enough to hydrate my skin. I sometimes apply two pumps of the serum on days when my skin is looking a little dull. By morning it is glowing and plump again.
I cant rate this serum high enough. It is so amazing.
Absolute Cleansing Oil - €20
After featuring this cleanser in my January Favourites video the Kinvara team contacted me to let me know I wasn't using the product correctly and to get the most from this product you are supposed to use it on damp skin, massage it in for a minute or two and rinse off with warm water and a face cloth. Since then this product has been a game changer. I have never found a cleanser that removes a full face of makeup and removes the Inglot waterproof eyeliner and the Benefit They're Real mascara so easily. This absolute cleansing oil breaks down everything and removes all dirt, oils and makeup in minutes. It use this with the Nima Mitt and it makes taking my make up so much more of a pleasure than a chore.
Hands down best makeup remover I have ever used.
If you are looking to change up our skincare routine and invest in some good quality products that your skin will thank you for, then I recommend trying out Kinvara Skincare. It gets two massive thumbs up from me and I can't see myself changing my skincare products anytime soon.
As long as Kinvara keep making them I will keep buying them.
I hope you liked that review and let me know in a comment if you have tried any of these products.
Love

The month of July has been a month of a lot of new favourite beauty & makeup products for me. I love to try out and test new products and this month I tried a lot.
Firstly I am going to start with something that doesn't generally feature in my favourites - Fake tan. The reason I don't wear fake tan is because I have quiet sallow skin but as I was helping out at an event last month I wanted to have a bit of a sun kissed glow. It had been so long since I purchase fake tan but I had heard nothing but good things about Cocoa Brown Tan, I knew I had to test it out myself. I hadn't a clue what type of tan to pick up from there range of tans but opted for the Night to Day tan. I also picked up the mitt applicator to go with the tan.
The night before I headed to Galway I applied an even layer of the mousse tan to my entire body. The application was so easy and the tan glided onto my skin. It gave immediate colour and applied very evenly. The was not strong fake tan smell although I must admit I do like the smell of fake tan :) The next morning I woke and felt like a bronzed goddess (haha ok not quiet the goddess but I did feel great) A tan always makes me feel more confident, Who is with me on that one? I noticed how natural the tan looked and I certainly was not tangoed. I showered and was left with a lovely natural glow. I was so impressed with the tan that I have been using it ever since and applying it weekly. I have had many complements on it and even had a customer in work stop and ask me what tan I was wearing. I will definitely be trying more of the Cocoa Brown range. I've heard amazing things about the Though Stuff so I think I will add that to my shopping list.

The next Favourite is a new moisturiser that Suzanne Jackson (SoSueMe) gave me while we were in Galway. It is from an Irish brand that is based in Galway. It is the Kinvara Rosehip Day Cream. I have been using this product for just over a month now and it was love at first application haha. I instantly feel in love with the scent, it is laced in Rosehip, Citrus Limon & Lavender. This moisturiser is a anti-ageing formula which helps leaves the skin moisturised an plump. It gives great hydration to the skin and primes the skin. you can purchase this day cream and check out what other great products Kinvara has to offer here - buy here I cant wait to try more of their stuff.
Keeping with skincare I am going to tell you about an eye cream I have been using and loving the past few months. It is from Boots and it is their own brand vitamin E gentle eye cream. I picked this eye cream up when I ran out of my last one and wanted something that would really hydrate my eyes and firm the skin. This eye cream as done just that. The other thing I love about this eye cream is that it has an SPF of 15 which you don't normally find in an eye cream. You can buy this eye cream here - buy here
The next favourite of mine is this gorgeous mint green nail polish from Wet N Wild. This brand is new to the Irish market and I have to say I am loving it. You can find Wet n Wild in most Pennys and Dunnes Store. It is such an inexpensive top quality brand. I had heard amazing things about this brand from fellow American YouTubers and had to get my paws on it when it hit the Irish shelves. I wasn't disappointed and I am loving the nail polish range. I painted my nails with this gorgeous mint green colour and no joke this bad boy stayed on my nails for a week with out clipping. I was so impressed. The colour pay off and longevity of this polish is amazing for such a low price. Girls please get to your butt near a store and pick one up. You can also find it online here - buy here
Sticking to makeup is an oldie but a goodie. This highlighter was pushed to the back of my makeup collection and it was only when I was reorganising my drawers did I rediscover it again. It is a beautiful golden highlight called Sunbeam and it is from the Topshop makeup collection. I have no idea why I haven't been using this bad boy for the past few years but I am totally obsessed with it recently and especially when I have nice bronzed contoured skin. this is the perfect combination for summer time makeup.

Brows are such a huge trend now. The bigger and more defined the better in my opinion. I have always used an eyeshadow to fill in my brows as it work best for me but in the last few months I have been using a wax and shadow to achieve the perfect brow for me. The Sleek brow kit is the perfect shade for my brows and I absolutely love the wax. Is holds and defines my brows but also keeps them looking natural which I like. Sleek is only recently come to the Irish market but I have been using it for years. It is so affordable but such good quality product. Check sleek out here - buy here
The last favourite of mine was also another gift from Suzanne. It is a product I have never used before. It is a multi-purpose dry oil for face, body & hair. This product nourishes and softens the skin and also give a beautiful glow to the skin and adds a sweet scent. This product is amazing for using down the centre of the legs or arms to give a sun kissed healthy glow to the body. It is a luxury item and smells absolutely divine. Click here - buy here
Let me know in the comments some of your favourite products of the past few months and what you think I need to try.
