Urban Rituelle – Super Yummy Smelly Stuff

I had tried Urban Rituelle many years ago, but it wasn’t until Rah bought me some for my birthday last year that I became hooked.

I have a super sense of smell (which is quite often a curse…so.many.stinky.people!!) But I also find I am allergic to a lot of regular commercial perfumes. So finding something that smells awesome, and doesn’t make me sense my head of can be near impossible.

Urban Rituelle is an Australian owned husband and wife team. They have a great range of yummy smelly stuff, regular perfumes (which are my fav) they do also do soaps, moisturisers, lip balms, candles and even a Men’s and Baby range.

The Sweet Treats collection is A..mazing! The bestest one, that you just MUST have, is the Cotton Candy..YUM! I’m really enjoying the Peach Blossom too at the moment.

Their range is great vaule for money, postage is fast. And they even throw in a GWP (gift with purchase) hard to pass up!

Check them out at www.urbanrituelle.com.au and shop online, or their store in Caringbah.

Australian Plus Size Clothing Shopping Guide

Shopping online is increasingly becoming many women’s shopping method of choice. And why not, when it is so convenient and easy. You can shop at any time of the day or night, and quite often you will get a much better range and cheaper as well.

Clothes shopping for those of us who don’t fit retails idea of what size Australian women are, can find regular shopping an absolute nightmare. The majority of mainstream Australian retailers are just doing plus sizes clothing wrong. I feel your pain ladies, so I have put together a list of pus size retailers both here in Australia and over seas. If you know of a store, let me know I would love to add it to the list.

Dye for your WHAT?

You can wax, dye and shape your hair…down there. You can vajazzlise (thanks so much Jennifer Love Hewitt for the TMI of the decade!)

So you would be forgiven for thinking there isn’t much left to do by way of primping and pampering for your girlie bits, but you would be wrong…SO very wrong.pinkbutton

My New Pink Button is a temporary dye to restore the youthful pink colour back to your labia.

OMGWTFBBQ? Who thinks of this shit, I mean srsly? o.O Thank ceiling cat there are no product demo pictures on the site.

Nude by Nature

nudebynatureI could probably count on one hand the amount of times I have worn makeup this year. I am not a makeup girl, and I guess a lot of it comes down to having trouble finding the right product and colour for my skin, I have tried quite a few.

I went into Priceline the other night to check out what was on offer and got chatting to one of the girls. She suggested I try some Nude by Nature.

Nude by Nature is a 100% mineral make up that consists of just 4 ingredients. It evens out your complexion and conceals imperfections and blemishes. The mineral formula is kind to even sensitive skin and will not block pores. It is also water resistant and provides added UVA/UVB protection.  It is Australian made and owned and not tested on animals.

I have seen their ads on TV, and their site is a little spammy  looking (I am not even going to link to it) which does them no favours. Given the dodgy marketing I would never have given it a second thought before being given a demo.

It is meant to be used as a 3 part system, a bronzer, the main foundation and a finishing veil. At $40, I wasn’t about to buy them all, it’s a bit more than the crappy $15 stuff I usually buy (perhaps there in lies my problem) So I just bought the Mineral cover to give it a try.

I am totally in love! It is awesome. So easy to apply, even for a n00b like me. Covers your spots and uneven skin tone all with the swirl of a brush. Great for summer when you might get a little sweaty. Even the manpet commented, and it usually takes him 2 weeks to notice I’ve had a haircut. I’m not into a bronzer, but I will definitely be going back for the finishing veil which.

Available from Priceline and other cosmetic retailers for around $38 (definitely steer clear of buying from their TV ads or website, way too expensive)
