Jurlique's New Nutri-Define Supreme Range

A couple of weeks ago I was kindly invited to the launch of the new Nutri-define range* from Jurlique. Using natural, Active ingredients its time to re-energise your skin.

Jurlique, if you are not aware of the brand, has been harvesting and growing Botanicals on their Biodynamic farm in South Australia for around 35 Years and regular readers of my blog will know that I am a huge fan of the Jurlique Rosewater Balancing Mist. The new Nutri-Define range is described as being a “breakthrough for the advanced signs of ageing and is one which uses powerful natural ingredients and Biosome6 Technology to restore luminosity, volume and suppleness". There are 6 products within the range and I have kindly been gifted three of them - Supreme Rejuvenating Serum, Supreme Eye Contour Balm and Supreme Restorative Light Cream to try.

Grown in the nutrient-rich hills of the farm in Adelaide, South Australia, Spilanthes Flower and Horseradish Root Extract are two of the primary ingredients within the Nutri-Define Range. Each of these ingredients is said to possess a wealth of naturally rejuvenating properties that assist in plumping the skin and infusing it with a hydrated, youthful glow. What I found really fascinating about the range is that the harvesting of the Spilanthes Flower only occurs on days when the moon passes through the 'Air and Light' signs of Libra, Gemini and Aquarius; flowers, substance and colour all thrive during these stages of the moon cycle making it the optimum time to harvest.

The Supreme Rejuvenating Serum (£86 for 30ml) is a silky, smooth serum containing the potency of Spilanthes Flower, Horseradish Root, and Snowflake extracts to help reduce the appearance of all signs of ageing. Featuring the Jurlique Advanced Biosome6 Technology delivery system, this serum delivers active ingredients to the skin to enhance barrier function and deliver radiant skin that glows.

What I love about this serum is how it feels on my skin, as with all Jurlique serums, it has a silky smooth texture and it absorbs really quickly and is really hydrating.  Using Horseradish Root Extract which is said to help improve the skin's firmness as well as helping to smooth the appearance of fine lines and firm the skin Then with the inclusion of Splianthes Extract which is described as being an astringent tonic herb that helps rebalance oiliness and soothe the skin.

The Supreme Eye Contour Balm (£52 for 15ml is described as being a rich, anti-ageing eye balm – visibly improves the appearance of deep wrinkles. The Nutri-Define Supreme Eye Contour Balm also features the Advanced Biosome6 encapsulation of Spilanthes Flower extract, Horseradish Root extract and Jurlique Botanical Blend for optimal delivery to the layers of the skin. 

I am really picky about eye creams, for me, it is all about the consistency and texture, if it is too thick or too tacky, chances are I am not going to be using it. From Jurlique what we have is a balm that isn't quite a balm, it is more of a light cream and it is one which melts on contact with the skin and is just a delight to use. It comes with an applicator which, because it is metallic, is really soothing on the undereye and it is such a nice feeling.

Then finally we have the Supreme Restorative Light Cream (£75 for 50ml) and it is described as being a lightweight cream for intense hydration to deliver smooth, radiant skin.  As with the rest of the range, this cream also features the Advanced Biosome6 encapsulation of Spilanthes Flower extract, Horseradish Root extract.

What I love about this cream is its texture, lightweight it might be, but on the skin, it is perhaps one of the most hydrating creams I have used in a very long time. I have combination oily skin, so from time to time, I do suffer from dry patches of skin on both my cheeks and my forehead, so this cream is the perfect tonic for not being too heavy.

The whole range from Jurlique which is free from silicones, sulfates, petrochemicals, PEG's, synthetic glycols, artificial colours and so much more is an absolute delight to use. It is a signature range, so is on the more expensive side, but it is definitely a luxurious treat.

The entire Nutri-Define Range Supreme range is available from Jurlique online and if there was one product of this trio I would choose as the one to try, without question, it would be the Eye Contour Balm.

Roccabox - The Zodiac Edit Limited Edition Box

When this Limited Edition Roccabox landed on my doorstep, I was quite keen to see what was inside, as I knew there was to be a surprise Limited Edition box.  I was asked what sign I was, to which the answer I gave is Water.

The other boxes within this collection are Earth, Fire and Air and like this Water Edition, all feature some amazing products.

"Passionate, intuitive and sensitive, Water signs are deeply attuned to the waves of their own emotions and those of the ones around them. Often known as the healing force, Water signs are acutely emotionally intuitive and show great compassion and warmth in relationships. 

This zodiac edit focuses on ingredients with naturally occurring healing properties, vibrant colour palettes and captivating, radiance-enhancing products to reflect the artistic, romantic nature of the Water Sign".

Within this box, there is five beauty related products and an extra treat and as a box, it is really well thought out and planned and most definitely had my attention.  The first item that you can't help but notice is from The Beauty Crop with the Stargazing Eyeshadow Palette (£20).

Featuring 12 velvety and highly pigmented jewel tones shades, all of which have been inspired by the Milky Way and far away galaxies, so you will find names such as Neptune, Halo and Orion. With three different finishes - matte, metallic and glitter they are formulated without mineral oil and instead use Jojoba and Coconut Oil.

We all love a good highlighter and you can never have too many, so within this box from In Your Dreams is the Glitter Highlighter Cream in shade Deja Vu.

The cream formula of this highlighter comes with a really subtle hint of glitter and it is a buildable shade, so depending on the coverage you want, depends how much you can keep applying.  As well as using on your cheeks and brow bone, it can also be used on the lips and eyes too.

Two products from Vitamasques within this box but two different things entirely.  The first is the Hydroglow Cream in 'Rose Gold'.

Described as being a 2-in-1 daily moisturiser and primer, Hydroglow Cream comes with illuminating gold extracts.  As well as giving your skin that beautiful glow, it is enriched with Hyaluronic Acid, Pearl Powder and Vitamin C which together moisturise, hydrate and illuminate and it can be worn alone or underneath makeup.

The second Vitamasque product is the Gemstone Sheet Mask in Sapphire and it is no ordinary mask.

Designed to provoke serenity through skincare, this mask contains sapphire stone powder and lavender oil to promote that relaxation as well as to hydrate and repair. It also uses the natural extract of blueberry for helping collagen production, violet flowers for hydration and coming together these ingredients combine to create what is referred to as a 'multi-sensory' skin therapy experience.

The final product within this box is the Melusine Paris Magic Jade Roller and I was chuffed to see this in the box as mine has seemingly grown a pair of legs and wandered off.

As you might be aware, the Jade stone is one which soothes the mind and body whilst bringing peace and tranquillity to its user.  The Jade facial roller helps to reduce pores, dark circles and fine lines as well as boosting circulation and collagen production.  Jade is also renowned as a healing stone and daily use encourages lymphatic drainage which draws out toxins from the skin, boosting our natural detoxification process. 

The treat that I mentioned at the beginning of this post within this box is a product, which if you follow me on Instagram, you will have seen me mention on stories quite a lot.

From Horlicks, we have the hot malty goodness in a drink, but it is the chocolate version and I absolutely love it. Enriched with vitamins and minerals it is incredibly comforting and a great drink to have before bed.

This box and the rest of the collection are still available from Roccabox and if you like the look of it or the monthly boxes which I also share. Roccabox is a subscription service and there are further subscription offers available to choose from with boxes starting at just £10 per month plus P&P.
