Yes To Adds Grapefruit to Their Fruit Basket

The fruit basket at Yes to Carrots is growing with the introduction of their new line, Yes to Grapefruit.

The fruit basket at Yes to Carrots is growing with the introduction of their new line, Yes to Grapefruit. Each of the seven new offerings is designed to correct and repair discolouration. "A lot of customers are growing up with us and are now looking for something a little bit different," founder Ido Leffler told WWD. "[They are] starting to worry about how they look in regards to complexion." Grapefruit is a proven remedy for dark spots and has anti-inflammatory benefits, too. The line includes body wash, eye cream, serum, face scrub, body cream, face moisturiser, and the Yes To fan favourite, cleansing wipes. The products will be available in chemists in the US from this March, but we'll keep you posted on Australian on-sale dates. Even as Yes To grows, the brand maintains its devotion to natural beauty (some products are up to 99 percent natural). If you snubbed carrots, passed on tomatoes, side-stepped cucumbers, and brushed off blueberries, the tropical scent and bright packaging will have you saying Yes To grapefruit!

5 New Products We'll Be Using This Summer

It's November, which basically means it's Summer — right?

It's November, which basically means it's Summer — right? Right. Summer beauty is all about bronzed (sun protected) skin, a dewy complexion and straight-out-of-the-ocean hair, and maybe even a bright lip to keep things high on the hotness scale. But with Summer comes an increase in oil production from our skin, so we have to adapt our beauty routines and products to suit the warmer weather. There's five newbies we've had our eyes on of late, and they're all perfect additions to your upcoming Summer of fun in the sun! LEGGO.

Coming Up Roses: Whaddya Know, Alexa and I Both Love Ren

In news that has truly made my day, nay week, nay life, I've just discovered that Alexa Chung and I use the VERY SAME body wash.

In news that has truly made my day, nay week, nay life, I've just discovered that Alexa Chung and I use the VERY SAME body wash. Can you believe it? It's uncanny how much she and I share in common. Admittedly, that's mostly because I stalk and steal her style on a daily basis, but this is legit. We actually both use Ren Moroccan Rose Otto Body Wash ($55). She also loves Moroccan Rose Otto Ultra-Nourishing Body Oil, whereas I'm more partial to a bit of Moroccan Rose Body Cream ($79) but we won't let that stand in the way of our friendship. Check out some more Ren Moroccan Rose goodies below and tell me, have you tried the range? Or have you ever found out that you and a celeb share a beauty love? What was it?

New Brand Alert: Love + Art Organic Beauty

I'm guaranteed to love any beauty brand that starts with love.

I'm guaranteed to love any beauty brand that starts with love. Case in point: Love + Toast. Cute as. This latest range I saw on ELLE and learnt that it ships here. Result! The brand is based out of the Ourika Valley in Marrakech and seeks to employ women to even the out the male/female employment ratio and help sustain the economy. Love + Art blends Moroccan tradition with modern science to create a range of bath and body products that feature ethically harvested plants — meaning where possible, only the seed or flowers are taken in order to continue supply — and essential oils that can be traced from plant to bottle thanks to a process called chemotyping. Totes worth checking out, especially the Moroccan rose bits.

Pictured (L-R): Moroccan Rose Body Wash (approx $18.85), Rosemary Floral Water (approx $18.85), Grapefruit Bath Oil (approx $61.35) and Orange Flower Body Milk (approx $33.30).

New Range Alert: APIVITA Men's Care

APIVITA has just introduced six products for men to its line-up.

APIVITA has just introduced six products for men to its line-up. The best bit about the collection — apart from featuring natural compositions of up to 99 percent and active ingredients like propolis to reduce oiliness, birch tree to rehydrate the skin and forest beech extract to reduce wrinkles — is that it smells so good: not like 'natural' skincare at all. The Hair and Body Wash ($24.90) is gorgeous. Like all APIVITA goodies, the men's range is based on the holistic approach of Hippocrates which balances the mind, body and soul through the use of essential oils like sage, cardamon and cedarwood. But as always, with natural skin- and bodycare, it's more abut what isn't in the range than what is. Here's what didn't make the cut: parabens, alcohol, silicones, propylene glycol and mineral oil. It's in stores now so be sure to check it out!
