Here some of the things we’ve enjoyed in the past two weeks!
Noughty
What if there was a fizzy drink for kids that didn’t make parents feel guilty? One that was a great alternative to current market offerings and was low in fruit sugars, had no sugar or sweeteners, and was naturally flavoured and packed with vitamins and minerals? Does such a drink exist?
Yes! Meet Noughty.
The new all-natural soda is sweetened with New Zealand apples and contains 45 calories or less and is ideal for kids aged 4-8 years (although adults like the drink too!) Noughty is low in natural sugars (6.1g per can), flavoured with natural extracts and contains no artificial sweeteners, colours or preservatives. Each can of Noughty contains calcium and 100% of the RDI of Iodine, Vitamins D, C and B6.
Noughty comes in six-packs of 250ml cans and is available in three different flavours: Cola, Appleberry and Lemonade.
Available in all leading supermarkets. RRP $12 per pack.
Sensitive Hydra Gel Moisturiser, Glow Lab
Cara: “I’ve never used a gel moisturiser before and as my skin is fairly sensitive I was a bit nervous but, at the same time, keen to try this moisturiser. It has a lovely lightweight texture and the gel felt quite cooling on my skin. It soaked in easily and I was pleased that it was fragrance free. I’ve been using this product for two weeks and am pleased with the results.”
The Sensitive Hydra Gel Moisturiser is one of the newest additions to the Glow Lab line-up. The formula is designed to calm redness, irritation and signs of inflammation. Green Tea and Ginger Root Extract provide anti-inflammatory relief, while Rosehip and Jojoba Oils deliver all day hydration.
All the Sensitive range is vegan, certified cruelty and fragrance free and is an affordable brand available at most supermarkets.
Nellie Tier Range
Sadly for Nellie Tier but lucky for us, New Zealand Fashion Week was cancelled, which meant we were sent a gorgeous selection of Nellie Tier goods that were originally destined for Cecilia Kang’s show.
Alongside a beautiful Nellie Tier tote bag and packed in a delightful monogrammed drawstring duffle bag, we received a stash of goodies – Cleansing Oil, Hand Cream, Face Polish, Hydrating Mask, Face Mist, Face Cream and Face Oil. There was also a face wash for teens which will be enjoyed by someone special.
We’ve always loved Nellie Tier products and knowing that they are New Zealand owned and that their entire range is free of parabens, sodium laurel sulphates and any harmful chemicals, is always a big plus for us.
For a short time, Nellie Tier is offering this gorgeous collection for sale at 40% off their usual price – so, only $100 for all these goodies. Here’s the link for this fabulous deal
Eye Spy – Vitamin C Eye Cream, Bondi Sands
Everyone knows Bondi Sands for its amazing self-tan products and body care range but did you know they now have a range of products specifically for your face?
Eye Spy – Vitamin C Eye Cream is the product you need to use when you need a fresher look around your eyes, quickly.
The cream has a glowy, golden hue to it and you only need to dab a small amount of it under your eye area and allow it to soak in before applying the rest of your skincare products. You’ll notice a difference very quickly.
The illuminating particles in the formula brighten your under eyes and diminish dark circles. Enriched with Vitamin C, Green Coffee Bean and Carrot Oil, your eyes will be soothed and hydrated giving you a brighter look.
In consumer trials, 100 percent of participants said they would purchase this product, with 96 percent saying their under-eye area appeared luminous and awakened. That’s pretty good, wouldn’t you say?
Dermatologically tested, non-comedogenic and fragrance free, this product is also suitable for sensitive skin.
