Vestige Verdant is a new luxury skincare brand to hit New Zealand and Australian shores. Hailing from Estonia, this brand has quickly become international and is now popular throughout the UK, France, Germany, and the Middle East.

There’s been a few days lately that I’ve had my shorts on, and it’s made me realise that boy oh boy my legs are pale! Of course while there is nothing wrong with being pale (and I often embrace it!), I do like a little bit of colour on my skin, especially on my legs. A slight…
If you were a reader of my old blog, then you will remember how much I loved the brand Trilogy. It’s one of New Zealand’s most well-known and well regarded skincare brands, and for good reason too. I used to use a lot of their products, and recently re-discovered my love for the brand through this, the…

The brand is the brainchild of Lisa West, a qualified Naturopath, Herbalist, and Theraputic Massage Therapist who creates her skincare line from her home in New Plymouth. Virtuous Skincare’s main product is the Skin Repair Cream – a nourishing cream…
I never really knew a lot about the importance of probiotics until recently, and now I feel like I’ve throughly incorporated them into my life. Not only have I been taking probiotic tablets to help with gut health, I’ve also been incorporating probiotics into my skincare routine. Say hello to one of my favourite new skincare products,…
Ah Winter. Sadly you have well and truly arrived here in New Zealand! I’ve noticed a massive change in my skin this winter. Last year it was fairly normal, but this winter it has been oh so dry. I’m not sure whether it’s been a change in my diet and fitness regime that has affected it, or…
If you live in New Zealand, then I can almost guarantee you’ve heard of legendary brand Ecostore. But did you know they now have a new skin range too?
