Launched here in New Zealand two years ago and in Australia nine months ago, World Organic are certified organic, kind to the environment; free of synthetic chemicals and most importantly – good for your skin.  Family owned and run, World Organic produces two fabulous ranges – River Veda and The Organic Skin Company.

Media were invited to try both ranges, including their highly coveted Honeysuckle Moisturiser and Honeysuckle & Rose Body oil, both of which contain World Organic revolutionary Supercritical Extraction ingredients.  Supercritical Extraction is what separates World Organic from the crowd. It’s a unique and highly potent method of extraction, which retains all the properties of the plant in its most pure state, yet in a concentrated manner.  It is THE most powerful and therapeutic way of delivering herbs and plant oils to the skin and offers a revolution in high quality therapeutic organic skincare.

Megan also announced some very exciting news –  September will see World Organic launch a fully fledged organic makeup range!

Affordable Luxury: Dr. Lewinn’s Launches New Cleanser Range…

Dr. Lewinn's, New Zealand, Skincare, beauty, beauty blog nz, beauty media nz, fashion blog nz, style blog nz, angie fredatovich, gurlinterrupted, FUSEPR, Stephanie Lowe

Last week Gurlinterrupted attended the media launch of Dr. Lewinn’s new cleanser range.  In a nutshell – this new range is affordable luxury at it’s best.

Held in the Lumiere Room in Parnell, media and beauty writers were treated to a beautiful breakfast whilst being taken through the fabulous new skincare range by the Dr Lewinn’s team.

The new cleanser range focuses on specific skin concerns as opposed to skin types and with a focus on AFFORDABLE LUXURY, this new collection sees a welcome drop in price, which I’m sure will make for Dr Lewinn’s becoming more of a household name as opposed to, for some people, a previously unobtainable luxury.

The new range includes: CALMING Sensitive Cleansing Milk, Balancing Foaming Cleanser, REPLENISHING Fusion Cleansing Oil and a NOURISHING Gentle Cream Cleanser. Check out the new Dr. Lewinn’s cleanser range and a few snaps from the event…

Plantae: New Zealand Certified Organic Skincare. Showing The World How It’s Done!

Plantae, carol priest, amy cunningham, cunningham communications, New Zealand Organic Skincare, certified organic skincare, beauty blog nz, style blog nz, fashion blog nz, makeup, skincare, angie fredatovich

I consider myself extremely lucky to have come across this absolutely amazing skincare range – Plantae Certified Organic Skincare.  It’s one of the few ‘certified’ Organic Skincare ranges made and manufactured in New Zealand – Nelson to be exact.

Plantae, carol priest, amy cunningham, cunningham communications, New Zealand Organic Skincare, certified organic skincare, beauty blog nz, style blog nz, fashion blog nz, makeup

Founded by international organic skincare expert Carol Priest, together with her daughters, Janelle, Fiona and Jacinta Priest, Plantae features three unique ranges – Purify, Balance and Hydrate, so they’ve got every skin type covered.  The products that I’ve been using for the last few weeks are from the Hydrate range (just what my skin needs during winter!) which includes:

  • Hydrate Rose Essential Water with Blackcurrant Leaf and Pine Bark Extract
    This product is very cool!  It comes in the form of a spritzer and smells like heaven-in-a-bottle.  It’s basically a toner with a synergistic anti-aging complex of Auvergne Pine Bark and Blackcurrant Leaf – both powerful anti-oxidants.  The blend includes pure organic Bulgarian Rose Otto oil and pre steam-distilled Rose Water.  Its soothing and regenerative effects are nothing short of amazing.
  • Hydrate Pacific Blue Lavender Rich Cream Cleanser with Blackcurrant Leaf and Pine Bark Extract
    This little beauty is a rich cream cleanser that rejuvenates dry skin.  It has circulatory and anti-aging properties that promote smooth, healthy skin.  In a nutshell – it replenishes your skin whilst cleansing it and it smells good enough to eat!  I seriously need a ‘smell here’ plugin on my website 😉
  • Hydrate Pomegranate Superfruit Rich Day Cream with Blackcurrant Leaf and Pine Bark Extract
    This rich creamy day cream has a unique blend of organic extracts to help regenerate dry and sensitive skin.  Enriched with skin-protecting anti-oxidants, superfruits and omega essential fatty acids (EFA’s) like Rosehip fruit and Blackcurrant Seeds.  Super-critical Pomegranate Seed extract improves skin elasticity and firmness, while anti-aging Auvergne Pine Bark and Blackcurrant Leaf extract regenerate skin.  Organic Bulgarian Rose Otto is added for its intoxicating fragrance and healing properties.   This is one fabulous day cream if you have normal to dry skin – it has already done wonders for mine!
  • Hydrate Rosehip Fruit Omega Rich Night Cream with Blackcurrant Leaf and Pine Bark Extract
    OK – this one’s a new addition to the range, a brand new night-cream (just in time for the cool and dry winter nights) so I was pretty excited to see if it lived up to the rest of the Plantae Hydrate collection.  Well, I can happily report – this is beyond amazing!  it’s a rich nutritive night cream that contains an abundance of naturally occurring antioxidants, essential fatty acids and vitamins found in Rose Hips, Seabuckthorn Berries, Borage and Evening Primrose Seeds to promote skin regeneration and improve skin elasticity to assist with slowing down the ageing process.  It also contains Auvergne Pine Bark and Black Currant Leaf extracts, Organic Bulgarian Rose Otto and New Zealand Pacific Blue Lavender.  Seriously they have jam-packed this night cream with every single goodie you need to rejuvenate, rehydrate and replenish your skin – and all while you’re sleeping! It’s like a vitamin injection – sans the needle!

Now, for those of you that may be thinking “but I’m only 20-something, I don’t need anti-ageing creams” I CANNOT stress this enough – you are NEVER too young for anti-ageing creams!  It’s near impossible to turn back the hands of time, so if you are going to do something to slow down these signs and make sure your skin looks as good as possible, for long as possible – do something about it now!  My mother instilled the importance of skin-care in me from a very, very young age – moisturiser every day, a light night cream each evening, and when I was old enough to wear it – never did a drop of makeup stay on my face at bed-time; and I am grateful for my mums strict skin-care regiment every single day.  I’m often told I look 10 years younger than I actually am (to be honest – I still feel like a bit of a kid most of the time) and yeah, I’m pretty damn happy with my skin and how I look for my age, so I guess all of these goodies like Plantae Organic Skincare are more than worth investing in.

Oh and if you’re no longer in your 20’s, it’s never too late to start looking after your skin!

Plantae is available at selected pharmacies, health food stores and online www.plantae.co.nz

PS: If you’ve not yet tried the Carol Priest Almond & Lemonbalm Facial Scrub – you must!  It’s pretty damn amazing.

Young At Heart: The Parcel I Received (and you could too) That Whisked Me Back In Time..

Avon Anew Pro line Corrector Treatment with A-F33 NZ Beauty Blogger skin care best beauty products

Introducing the most amazing trial I’ve EVER taken part in (PLUS, find out how you can now take part too). This magical beauty product has already made HUGE waves in the UK and US – as in actual headline news – and it’s about to be launched right here in New Zealand (and Australia).  Check out the footage and read on to find out how you too can get your hands on a FREE 28 day trial pack!  There’s a limited number of free trial packs across New Zealand and Australia, so make sure you stay tuned to find out how to get your pack before it arrives in-store in April.  I’ll include the link to apply for a trial pack further below, but for now, click HERE to see the headline news footage and learn more about this gem of a beauty product.

So I received an email a little while back inviting me to take part in an exclusive ‘pre-launch blogger trial’ for the new Avon (yes, you read that right, Avon) Anew Clinical Pro line Corrector Treatment with A-F33.  To be honest – I’d already heard a LOT of hype about this product from a friend in the UK over a year ago, who had, on 2 separate occasions, queued with hundreds of other hopefuls, only to miss out on getting said miracle product, as it sold out across the UK and US within just weeks of it going on sale! So of course – I jumped at the chance to take part in the 28 day ‘Young at Heart’ journey and seriously, this is the most adorable, amazing, fun trial I’ve ever taken part in.

AVON ANEW Clinical Pro Line Corrector Treatment with A-F33 NZ Beauty Blogger #youngatheart

When my friend first said to me  ‘you HAVE to check out this new Avon product, it’s call Avon Anew Clinical Pro Line Corrector Treatment’, I thought, really? Avon?  This is the same girl who pretty much lives on ‘strictly high end, big name products’ so admittedly I was a little surprised she was raving about this Avon product like it’d been hand delivered by the gods of eternal youth.  Heck, I didn’t even realize Avon was still around, let alone creating such a stir amongst the beauty community.

As soon as I opened my ‘Young at Heart’ pack and saw the contents within, I was taken straight back to the carefree days of my youth. My Young at Heart pack contained…. A personalized Barbie pencil-case, colouring in pens, candy necklaces, pez dispensers, magic pop’n rocks, a glitter skipping rope, elastics, everything I needed to send hand written letters (yup, as in, good old snail mail – god I miss receiving actual hand written letters), even pink string so I could play string games (remember making cats whiskers just by looping the string around your fingers in a certain way?).   I mean, they thought of EVERYTHING!! They even included skipping rope rhymes, hand clapping chants, schoolyard games, long forgotten food recipes like fairy bread and chip sandwiches, and oh, the hand-made paper ‘chatterbox’ (you know the one, it was made by folding paper a certain way so your fingers could slot into place – it had colours on the outside, numbers on the inside and then, right in the very middle – the mystery message you unsuspectingly chose).

AVON ANEW Clinical Pro Line Corrector Treatment with A-F33 NZ Beauty Blogger #youngatheart

Ahem, sorry, I digress… bottom line, I was captivated and determined to use this skin care product EVERY morning and EVERY night.  I mean, when this much effort goes into launching a product that’s already taken the global market by storm, I’m thinking this has got to be worth trying right?  And try it I did.  The results?  Pretty damn awesome!  It actually does what it says it will do!  It’s been weeks now and I’m definitely seeing a difference.  My skin feels A-MAY-ZING!!!!  The fine lines around my eyes appear to have minimized quite a bit and my skin is just glowing (no, I’m not pregnant), it really is glowing. Plus it looks & feels super healthy.  Who knows how this product works – apparently it’s the secret A-F33 ingredient, All I know is that my skin is responding really well to it, I’m loving it and I’m not sure what I’ll do when I run out. 

So… how do you get your hands on a FREE 28 day trial pack? Well, first of all, ya gotta be following my blog.  Can I say that?  Probably not!  But anyway – make sure you are following my blog – this will give you good juju, increase your chances of being chosen for the trial pack; and every time another person follows me – a fairy gets its wings.  OK – CLICK HERE to be transported back in time and to be in with a chance to receive a free 28 day trial pack. 

Right – I’m off to jump rope, make fairy bread and send someone special a hand written letter!  Whilst I’m doing that – check out a couple more images of this amazing Avon Young at Heart pack.

MARACA New Zealand – Skin Care, Spa and Home Fragrance

MARACA New Zealand by New Zealand Fashion Beauty Blogger Gurlinterrupted Angie Fredatovich

A few weeks ago a friend put me onto a new range of premium natural skin care, home fragrance and spa products – MARACA New Zealand.  What started as a quick browse online to see what they had to offer, turned into an overwhelming need to try their shampoo and conditioner – in all honesty I was mainly drawn to those 2 particular items solely based on the names – come on, who can resist a beautifully named range like ‘Butterfly Pea’ Shampoo & Conditioner?  After trying (and LOVING) the shampoo and conditioner (seriously my hair was so incredibly shiny and felt amazingly soft – kinda like when you’ve washed your hair using rain water, for those of you that have experienced tank-water life will know what I mean) I decided to look a little further into what else MARACA had to offer and what they were all about, only that resulted in a haul of more amazing products and I am now an avid fan, thus I wanted to share this new love with all of you.

Read on to see my tried and tested fav products I’m currently using right now, plus a little more info about MARACA New Zealand and it’s founder – Chris Lim (and before anyone asks – NO, I am not being paid by MARACA to talk or write about them – I just genuinely like discovering and sharing new-found loves).

Frangipani Candle $57.50
I am a candle FANATIC (I literally burn candles every day) and I’m not exaggerating when I say this is THE most amazing scented candle I’ve tried to date! The scent is like heaven in a jar and fills the house with the most amazing aroma in no time at all. Plus – it has up to 45 hours burn time. Winning!!

Maraca Scented Candle

Bourbon Vanilla Aroma Reed Diffuser $59.99
Those of you that know me will not be surprised that I opted for the vanilla scented diffuser – I LOVE anything vanilla scented & this is awesome!  This in the lounge means walking into a beautifully scented home every day after work.

Bourbon Vanilla Aroma Reed Diffuser

Lotus Stamen Bath Soap $14.99
I just don’t know how to describe the scent of this soap to do it justice – it smells like ‘the best kind of clean’.  Yes that sounds really odd – but it just smells so fresh and clean that ‘clean’ seems like the best way to describe this gorgeous soap.

Butterfly Pea Shampoo & Conditioner $27.99 each
Well as you’ve already read above – these beauties are simply divine.

maraca butterfly pea shampoo and conditioner new zealand beauty blogger
Bourbon Vanilla Hand & Body Lotion $35.50
This is my new ‘go to’ everyday vanilla body lotion.  A certain other company discontinued my old fav and quite frankly – I don’t care anymore – this is even better!

 Maraca Bourbon Vanilla Body Lotion New Zealand Beauty Blogger

 

Lemon Grass Bath & Massage Oil $41.50
A few drops in your bath, then applied directly on your skin following your bath = super soft skin and again, the scent is so fresh, clean and just divine!

Maraca Lemon Grass Bath Oil New Zealand Beauty Blogger

Ground Turmeric Foot Bath Salts $29.99
And the final item – confirming my OCD is engrained in all facets of my life – yup, it also extends to having immaculate feet.  I get a spa pedicure every fortnight with a french polish, but in-between my pedi I ensure that I keep my feet looking immaculate in every way possible and this little gem is fantastic for doing exactly that.  It’s perfect for sore/achy feet, but best of all it eradicates any dryness or cracked heels.  There is NO excuse for unkept feet!

Maraca Tumeric FootBath Salts New Zealand Beauty Blogger

MARACA produces premium quality NATURAL home fragrance, spa and body care products.  MARACA founder – Chris Lim, was inspired to create the range after travelling through Asia. Speaking to locals in small communities, he discovered plants and herbs that have been used in eastern medicine and spiritual practices for centuries. These ancient methods of boosting vitality and health are just as relevant today. Every scent, every colour and every texture tells the story of the precious benefits to be found within every ingredient. With his strong passion for quality skin care and previous involvement with well-known global cosmetic companies (I mean seriously well-known companies like Ralph Lauren, Hugo Boss, Gucci, DKNY, the list goes on), Chris began to develop the MARACA range using this precious knowledge.
