Snowberry; NZ's finest skincare

Photobucket

Great skin is always in fashion, so I met with Snowberry last week to trial their range of skincare products. I had loved what I read on their website about their inspiration, ingredients and process of making Snowberry. Firstly, it's green! They are the only company in NZ to be certified CarboNZero which means in simple terms 'carbon neutral.' Founder Soraya, created a beautiful range of natural but active products from her philosophy of natural beauty and authenticity. She wanted to create something that didn't have any restrictions to quantities of the best bioactive ingredients from around the world. Snowberry uses 130+ exotic ingredients in their range and absolutely no parabens or fillers. They created their own self preservative system through extensive research with some of NZ's own rainforest plants. Shelf life isn't a question and products are good for up to 3 months upon opening them.

The anti-ageing range is the first range of Snowberry. Recommended for 30+

Instant Deep Cleanser- 100% oil, is bright orange from the amount of carotene in it.
Gentle Remineralising Toner- a light foaming cleanser/toner combo
Nourishing Exfoliator- shea butter base exfoliant with jojoba beads, absorbs quickly into skin
Intensive Renewal Face Serum- absorbed quickly with no residue, no sticky feeling
Smoothing Eye Serum- feels cool and tightening
Nourishing Lite Day Cream- smelled nice, was light and tightening/firming as well.
Nourishing Rich Day Cream- an alternative to the light day cream
Cellular Regeneration Night Cream- helps to heal and repair skin at night

**Snowberry is introducing a new anti-oxidant range BRIGHT DEFENSE in November 2010!**
This range is for 18+ and is designed to create a radiant complexion through reducing skin discoloration and brightening the skin safely without bleaching or peeling. The new range will include 3 BRIGHT DEFENSE creams for Oily, Combination and Dry skin as well as a Night Cream and Face Serum. Snowberry will also be releasing a natural broad spectrum sun protection cream SPF 15 that absorbs quickly and does not leave a white residue on the skin. It's ingredients include Zinc Oxide, Galanga Root, Coffee bean oil, Shea butter, Inga and Raspberry seed oils. It is much better for the environment than most sunscreens and sunblocks that contribute to the 4,000 tonnes of product washed onto coral reefs around the world leading to coral bleaching.

Lace me up baby!

I'm loving the peep toe lace up heeled boots this Spring 2010/Fall 2010 (the rest of the world.) I'm torn between the soft grey or ever black. Above; Marc Jacobs. Below; Gianvito Rossi, ASOS

Nude is the new black

I have finally found a classic nude pump as well as a pair of suede black boots. Yes, it's nearly the end of winter but I can't resist these two. Both by Mi Piaci.

Sass & Bide opens first store in NZ!

First, I must say, I love SASS & BIDE. I saw clothes from recent lines in Australian & New Zealand fashion magazines and recently the designer duo (Sarah-Jane Clarke & Heidi Middleton) was featured on VIVA. Their store opened today at 85 Ponsonby Road! Here are some of my favorite finds from their two latest collections.
