Malin + Goetz sample products review

Malin + Goetz is a family-owned business in New York, founded by Matthew Malin and Andrew Goetz in March 2004. They offer skin care for women and men and make products in a very large range - cleansers, moisturisers and serums for the face and body, shampoos, conditioners, hair styling products, perfumes and even candles!

In the August issue of Elle magazine, I received 3 sample sizes of Malin + Goetz beauty products. I had never heard of this brand before but these little testers made me very curious about them. 


 

Both Grapefruit Face Cleanser and Vitamin E Face Moisturiser are suitable for all skin types. The key to their extraordinary cleansers is hydration science. Gentle amino acid-based cleansing agents thoroughly purify and hydrate, helping to maintain a natural pH balance. 

Grapefruit Face Cleanser is gentle enough for dry, sensitive or rosacea-prone skin (natural antibacterial grapefruit helps prevent blemishes). I haven’t used it yet, as I’m trying to keep some stability in my skincare routine at the moment. I have tried a couple of products containing grapefruit before and I have always ended up with rashes and irritation on my face. I will definitely try it the future though! The price is $30, which is around £17.

Vitamin E Face Mosituriser is also intensely hydrating and suitable for daily-use. It is oil-free and absorbs instantly. This gentle moisturiser provides pH balance for all skin types, especially sensitive skin. Natural anti-oxidants, vitamins E and B5 (panthenol), soothing chamomile, and fatty acids nourish without irritation. This mosituriser is a perfect base or primer for immediate make-up application. It has a natural fragrance and colour. The price is $45 which is around £26.

In both cleansers and moisturisers, they incorporate beneficial botanical extracts that enhance performance and provide fresh natural scents that quickly evaporate - leaving room for personal fragrance choices. Each ingredient is carefully chosen as the least irritating and most advanced for performance.

And last my favourite, Lip Moisturiser. My lips are always very dry but this lip moisturiser is very hydrating. Absorbent fatty acids, unlike traditional oils and drying waxes and silicones that are often licked off or wiped away, nourish upon impact while offering a continual layer of hydrating protection throughout the day and night. I love that this product is fragrance, flavour and colour free.

Overall I am quite impressed with these little samples. I am not entirely sure I will purchase these particular products but after looking around their homepage I might consider getting their shampoo and/or hair treatments.

Kayla Itsines Bikini Body Guide - Starting again

The last time I posted about my workout regime was in November last year when I started the Kayla Itsines BBG healthy eating plan and 12 week workout sessions. I think I got up to week 4 before I lost my motivation because of illness and Christmas. My friend Marianne and I started BBG again on the 5th of January with thousands of other girls and joined #thekaylamovement and #kaylasarmy to share our journey along this painful but exciting path.  You can read my first post about the BBG programme here as I am explaining a bit more on how I 'found' Kayla and how the training works.  I have done BBG for 5 weeks now (the first 2 weeks we did pre-training) and I'm feeling quite positive. I've not seen much progress myself - I still have my weak areas like tummy, bum and thighs. I do feel much stronger though! I'm doing all of the workouts properly, I have strength in my legs and arms - it is quite easy to do 10 push ups and continue with triceps and mountain clim...

Esimene trimester ehk esimesed kolm kuud \\ beebi number 2

Tere blogi, Jah, üllatus, üllatus, ma olen rase! Esimene trimester on läbi ja teen küsimused-vastused varjandis blogipostituse. Ausalt öeldes ei olnud mul just kõige kergem algus- jõetus, väsimus, iiveldamine ja oksendamine kestsid 6. nädalast kuni 13. nädalani. Ei tuleks vist eriti huvitav postitus, kui ma peaks kirjutama, kuidas ma kõik need nädalad voodis veetsin ja mitu korda päevas vetsupotti kallistasin, nii siis vastan pigem mõnedele esimese trimestriga seotud küsimustele.   Kuidas sa avastasid, et sa oled rase ja kuidas sa Tristanile ütlesid? Ühel reede hommikul ärkasin varem, et trenni teha. Jooksin jooksulindi peal umbes 30 minutit ja terve selle aja tundsin end imelikult. Umbes 5 minutit enne jooksmise lõppu tuli mul üles mega suur röhitsus ja natuke maomahla. See tunne oli nii tuttav! Tagasi tuppa tulles tegin veel Tristanile nalja, et olen vist rase. Terveks päevaks jäi see mõte mind kummitama ja ma ütlesin Tristanile, et peaks igaks juhuks rasedustesti tegema. Jä...

10 things to do in Rockhampton

I have still a couple more posts coming up about my Australian trip. I hope they are an interesting read! After Brisbane , we flew to Tristan's hometown Rockhampton where we spent the remaining 2 weeks of our holiday. Rockhampton is a small city in Queensland with a population of around 62,000 people. Rockhampton experiences over 300 days of sunshine each year, which means it is a good place for tourism and outdoor activities. Known as the "Beef Capital of Australia" there is much more to do than just sit in the pub and eat burgers! I have made a list of 10 things you can do around Rockhampton. 1. Rockhampton Kershaw Botanical Gardens are a well visited attraction in Rockhampton. The park has many paved walking paths, rest areas, drinking fountains and beautiful scenery with many palms and tropical flowers.   2. Quay Street in Rockhampton is full of beautiful architecture and old buildings. The city centre (main street) is not very big but I think we spent at ...
