Jurlique Blogger night

I was recently invited to the Jurlique Sydney beauty launch for their new anti-aging range.
First impressions: a lovely clean store, gleaming wood surfaces, and friendly looking staff.
We were greeted with Chandon champagne, and Fiji water (two of my faves) and delicious canapes were passed around by waiters.
I already knew one of the ladies who is a manager at Jurlique, so it was nice to see a friendly face.
I sat with the national training manager who spoke at length with me about Jurlique, it's history, and its products. I also met with the global marketing manager and the lovely ladies from TORSTAR.
I was invited to sit down with my consultant Song, who asked me about my skin, and gave me a demonstration of various Jurlique products.
I tried a wide variety of their products, including their world famous rose cream, but my fave is the jasmine body range (spring in a tube)
We started off with the Jurlique exfoliator which you can use either wet or dry, it has a nice creamy texture and leaves the skin feeling soft and looking bright, and not dry or red (which happens to me a lot with exfoliators as I have sensitive skin)

Body Exfoliating Gel

A skin smoothing exfoliating gel for the body, rich in herbal antioxidants and gentle walnut shell to lift away dead skin cells and impurities to reveal smooth, soft and more radiant skin.

• $47.00
• Soothing Foaming Cleanser
  • Concern:
    Redness/Irritation
  • Skin Types:
    Sensitive
  • Benefits:
    Purifies + soothes
    
• Song decided the soothing cleanser best suited my skin, and it is a combination of a gel and balm like texture, leaving the skin clean, but not dry.

Jurlique prefers a spray on toner, and really when you think about it, it makes sense, you use less, and it hydrates the skin leaving it prepared for moisturizers,

The Benefits:

• Gentle mist that calms and soothes.
• Leaves sensitive skin feeling refreshed and hydrated.
• Provides natural antioxidant protection.

The Ingredients:

• Marshmallow intensely hydrates and softens the skin.
• Chamomile Oil helps hydrate, calm and rebalance dryness.
• Grapefruit Seed acts as a natural antioxidant.

Next, the brand new baby for Jurlique, the purely anti aging range, which is perfect for someone such as myself, starting to show concerns with aging. The range consists of serum,moisturizer, and eye cream. The texture is not too thick, or heavy, but you can feel it moisturizing the skin. If you were going to apply makeup, i would suggest waiting about 5-10 minutes to let the product absorb.
