2014 BEAUTY HAUL #1

It's definitely a beautiful thing to receive a beauty parcel on the second day of the new year and I cannot think of any better things in my first 2014 beauty parcel than organic skincare.

Pai Skincare Christmas 2013 Limited Edition AU$50 (Great value!)

I love the packaging and I cannot wait to try out the products in the set:

Organic Muslin Face Cloth

Rosehip BioRegenerate Oil 30ml

Rosehip BioRegenerate Face Mask 50ml

MADARA Purifying Foam AU$15 (on sale, was AU$25)

MADARA comes from Latuia, a small country in Northern Europe. You can read more about the brand and the company's products from their website: http://www.madara-cosmetics.com/intl/about/values/ (as a business graduate I do tend to have a good browse about company's profile etc. :)

On the packaging it says this facial cleanser can deeply and gently purifies the skin and removes makeup. It can regulate your oily zone while soothing dry areas. I have not used any of the products yet so I cannot say much about the result. However, I do notice alcohol is included as one of the ingredients and that got me a little bit concerned. I usually do not have break out problem but my skin can be sensitive at times and I hope the alcohol in it will not irritate my skin. I'll have a post about this cleanser if I end up really liking or hating it.

PATYKA ABSOLIS Rose Face Toner AU$25 (on sale, was AU$50)

On PATYKA website http://laboutique.patyka.com/en/ it has "Beauty Portrait" and when you click it it'll lead you to a few questions about your skin problems and your age. In the result page it'll put together a list of products as recommendations to tackle your skin issue. Although the questions are not the most detailed ones, I think it's a good way to try out some products of a brand.

Back to this toner, it's alcohol free and smells like roses (as if I needed to emphasise it). I am sure it'll be pleasant to use this toner and I hope it can be a bit more hydrating than some other organic rose toners I used before.

I got everything in this post from I AM NATURAL STORE as after some browsing online I think the prices for the products I want to get are quite competitive. They offer free shipping in Australia wide orders over AU$50 and that's another advantage to shop there if you live in Australia. I also received a small gift from them as you can see in the photo: a Vanilla blackberry scent fragrance (trial size). I am not sponsored by them but just want to share this online shop with you as I had a lovely online shopping experience with them.

What did you get for your first beauty parcel in the new year? Have you used any of the products in my parcel? Please leave a comment if you do as I would love to hear what you think of these products.
