WEEKLY VLOG! | shopping, beach, packages, art journaling, girls night in & game night!

[@abbigilzean4833]

I absolutely love the art journal pages you shared with us. So beautiful and inspiring!

[@emilyharding1865]

I use the dermalogica clearstart cleanser and moisturiser!! They cleared up my bad acne a few years ago and have kept my skin clear and glowing since then ❤️❤️

[@caseymuddle636]

Please do a bookshelf tour 😍😍

[@emilierose5820]

Rosehip oil, it is so good - you can get it from the ordinary for sukin and its really helped my skin

[@haylou6707]

Go-to skin care is amazing! Will never be able to go back

[@logandominguez5402]

I would recommend curology it is a personalized skincare routine for morning and and the night!!!

[@katherinebenoit1392]

The Brightening Vitamin C Mask from Frank Body is by far my favourite go to face mask. It takes care of stuff like acne to dark spots/acne scars

[@simleigh2218]

The la Roche Posay 50+ sunscreen is great, no sunscreen smell and thin consistency so it glides on. Everyone is also raving about Naked Sundays sunscreen too, which I want to try.

[@marisajackman7669]

I’d recommend Bondi sands sunscreen! So nice to use and not that expensive.

[@IsabelleCulgan]

The ultra violette sunscreen works so well under makeup!

[@brittanyangell8449]

La Roche posay effaclar gel cleanser and the effaclar duo plus, only 2 products that have cleared my skin, I’ve tried everything under the sun and went back to basics with these 2 products and my skin cleared up in a week. There’s a little pack you can get from chemist warehouse for like $10 to try, also the eco tan face water is amazing for a toner and a tiny bit of colour

[@bronachbrannigan]

Estée Lauder night repair serum is the best product I’ve ever used. It’s a bit ££ but sooo worth it. I get bad breakouts all the time especially on my cheeks, chin and jaw line. I was using it sparingly but now I use it twice a day everyday after toner but before moisturiser and my skin has never been better! Also, The Ordinary BHA AHA red mask is so good for exfoliation I’d recommend! For SPF, the Bondi Sands face SPF is soo good, not greasy or heavy and fragrance free so doesn’t break me out!

[@SamanthiW12345]

In terms of general skincare products: exfoliation/pigmentation (Paula's choice 2% BHA toner or Ole Henriksen Glow2OH toner, Retinol - start with a low concentration I liked the ordinary one, and then when youre used to it increase to 1% and I like the Paula's Choice one for that, be mindful you'll experience some peeling and skin purging at first with retinol, DermaE Scar gel is insane for fresh scars and I like their brightening cream too, Paula's Choice Vitamin C), hydration (the ordinary hyaluronic acid and any of their oils), sunscreen (MECCA to save face gives you an amazing glow and is 50+)

[@birdybabez]

Love the vlogs as always 💕😊

[@brookelittlely]

My favourite sunscreen is from Aldi, it's less than $3 and my skin has never looked better!

[@erika-xf5nv]

okay so if you need a really nice face mask, one that is just so nice and really works i swear and live by the beauty glam rose clay mask from chemist warehouse!! it’s like $12 but it’s my go-to for acne! it’s helped to reduce my acne so much, helps with redness, texture and makes your skin so glowly! i leave it on for 30 minutes and do it 2 times a week! it doesn’t dry out your skin and i have quite sensitive skin so this is just amazing!

[@jessicakirby992]

For sunscreen get the cancer counsel face day wear matte moisturiser. It’s SPF 50+!!! Xo

[@julianavaz8000]

For makeup remover i use MicellAir form Nivea. For sunscreen i use one from Vichy. For skincare i use Vitamin C 15% solution.

[@sophieison5055]

After you finish reading the book, you should definitely watch Normal People the TV series on Stan. It's AMAZING!!! You'll love it xx

[@brilliantlyizzy725]

For skincare, i do a double cleanse (SWEAR by this, things its changed the game) using the Pond cold cream make up remover (second tub and lasts forever) , then franks body salicylic acid cleaner (on my third bottle and my skin LOVES it and it doesnt strip) i chemically exfoliate 2-3 times/week with either the Paulas choice 2% BHA (second bottle) or the ordinary lactic acid depending on what my skin needs. For serums I use the ordinary Hyaluronic acid and the inkey list naiacinamide (although usually use the ordinary one). Im also a HUGE fan of the BENZAC AC Benzoyl Peroxide cream (literally used this since I was a teenager and its super easy to get hold of) tend to use 5% more often and 10% for really bad breakouts I cant get rid of. I have really sensitive combo skin which is prone to breakouts/acne and this routine has been saving my skin and its been the best ive seen it in YEARS!!! Sorry, this is kind of a brain dump :) Currently looking at adding a vitamin c or rentinol/backinol (dont know how to spell it) but super careful about how/when I add new steps/actives

[@siennakate5443]

Don’t have any skin care recommendations, but maybe the sudden change in your skin, is because of the recent changes in the weather 🙃💗

[@bernadettemclean5238]

I made a homemade cleanser and it does wonders for my skin.

[@laurah7590]

I have been loving the QV Face moisturising day cream SPF 30 for sunscreen. It works really well under makeup and very affordable.

[@delaneyloghry94]

I use the BENZAC AC cleanser and moisturiser and I have really bad acne on my cheeks. It pretty much immediately almost cleared my skin 100% recommended

[@brittaatterton-prantl2015]

ESMI skincare! I use the gentle cleanser, açai oil balancing oil, Skin treat and sun screen! I used to have skin that would breakout on my period or when I was stressed - these have changed the game! I was scared to use a facial oil but I have the most glowy and smooth skin after! 120% recommend

[@catbandbooks]

Random acts of kindness are the best!! I wore an outfit that was a bit out of my comfort zone and I had someone tell me that they loved what I was wearing, and it honestly made my week

[@KateElizabeth.]

Sun Bum Face 50+ sunscreen is incredible and just melts into your skin without leaving that oily sunscreen feeling that some sunscreen does. I wear it every day and cant recommend it enough! x

[@maylouddahiri4425]

Love Love 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 waaaaaw

[@Tanya-kz5ju]

first aid beauty is my favourite skin care brand. their so good if you have sensitive and dry skin. i have a lot of their products, but my holy grail is the ultra repair cream. it's so hydrating!!!

[@ericachoi96]

Hey Rachel! Skincare products I'd recommend is the Benzac AC Wash 5% every night, Azclear Medicated Lotion as a spot treatment (you can purchase this at Chemist Warehouse), Differin Adapalene which is a prescription retinoid, a gentle cleanser and moisturiser suitable to your skin type (I like the Cetaphil Moisturising Cream and Cerave Hydrating Face Wash because my skin is normal/dry), La Roche Posay Anthelios Invisible Fluid SPF 50+ and Ultra Violette Supreme Screen SPF 50+ sunscreen for during the day :)

[@maiyamoeller3069]

Paul’s choice products ! BHA Liquid exfoliate is amazing. & I’ve been using Bondi sands 50+ face sunscreen & it’s light and amazing under makeup

[@lateciamanning5611]

For skincare I use every night ( organic African black soap, acne prone) I’ve been using it for quite a few months now and have seen my scaring gone down quite a lot and Me personally I haven’t had pimples since using it

[@electramarshall8311]

I love the Mecca blush sticks !

[@ashsayshello]

Skincare ride or dies are Supple Skin Co (both cleanser and dew drops) and the Ordinary niacinamide. The dew drops in particular literally changed my skin's texture in the course of like a week. And as everyone has said, Paula's Choice BHA for exfoliant - so good!

[@Ali_lamb]

I am obsessed with your vlogs! The gift hampers are so cute! Monopoly deal is elite such a good game!

[@jordyntuffery8700]

Mecca SPF is sooo nice! Its like skin coloured too so it doesn't leave you with a white cast!! Really worth the money xx

[@kathleenhurkett]

banging body moisturiser!!!! honestly will never go back because it’s unreal, it’s a huge tube idk it’s just really great! trust me, i use a lot of skin care and by far this moisturiser (yellow tube) is the best thing i’ve ever gotten

[@amykinsxx5914]

The whole gym shark shopping moment was hilarious absolutely loved it 😍 And what an amazing supportive friend you are with Georgia 🥰

[@aliceedgar8898]

Suncream. I love the cancer council everyday wear moisturiser matte. It’s 50+. It’s nice and light on the skin and very affordable. Ultraviolet suncreams are great too.

[@mik7787]

you have to read all the addicted/calloway series !! while it isn't a literary masterpiece, you become so attached and invested in these characters lives and it just gets better with each book. i remember when i got to the first calloway book, i wasn't sure if i'd like it because i'd gotten attached to lily and lo, but it adds SO much to the story. you end up loving everyone !

[@niahmaree6931]

Rodan and Fields! Hands down! Let me know if you would like more information!

[@lilynicholls5327]

Too Faced Born This Way foundation is amazing for all skin types!

[@Fran-iq7jt]

I swear by Cerave cleansers and moisturiser

[@AshleyJade18]

I have ONE regret in life and that is... Throwing out the massive Art Journal that i made throughout High School, during a clean out session!!!! 😭... I knew that i was throwing it away at the time but for years now i've wanted it back to just look back at all the memories... To anyone reading this.....NEVER throw away diaries and scrapbooks, no matter how cringe you think they are!!! 😂

[@larathomas3877]

Where did you get your 3 dresses from? Love them! xoxo

[@juliaburnett3651]

Loved normal people!!! The TV show is amazing too❤️

[@teagan670]

nivea soft moisturiser is my absolute favourite!!

[@mariastrong3746]

two faced foundation is so good! i am the shade snow ❄️😊

[@sasss04]

La Roche Posay sunscreen 50+ is my absolute fav. They have a tinted version as well (: xx

[@smiley1girl00]

been using the go-to cleanser, face oil and face cream for a few months now and absolutely love them! definitely makes my skin stay hydrated for longer than other products have. also love that it’s an aussie brand!

[@ul20000]

I don't usually comment on videos much. But I just wanted to let you know that watching your videos make me feel so productive and I love it🥺❤❤ whenever I'm feeling down I know I can just watch your videos and they lift my mood and I feel like getting all my work done❤❤

[@Aleksa667]

For SPF i use Khiel’s ultra facial cream spf 50, i use it everyday and swear by it, my skin is very very mixed and it hydrated parts that needed it and at the same time didn’t make shine , not a single burn during summer (and I apply only in the morning) and it protected my face from tanning so well that my face is now 2 shades lighter than the rest of my body 😅

[@ambermeyer9655]

Monopoly deal is soo good ♥️🙌

[@jadevickk]

my fav brand is simple, you can actually buy it at coles but they are amazing for sensitive skin and i have used it for ever and has only done wonders for my skin, i have never really had a real breakout and or anything and it has kept my skin glowing! i use the moisturizing face wash, the light moisturizer then the toner every once in a while :) hope that helps!

[@lpsrules3000]

I love the mecca sunscreen! Super lightweight, has a pinky undertone so it doesn't give your skin a white cast and sits beautifully under makeup! As for makeup my faves at the minute are the Charlotte Tilburry flawless filter (gives your skin a stunning glow), the mecca duo cream blush and highlighter is stunning and anything from the brand Kosas (which you can find from Mecca)!

[@ryanfrisby7389]

Great vlog as always Rach!😸

[@ambermeyer9655]

The wet n wild bronzers are amazing so beautiful for summer because they have a sheen to them that makes you look glowy with no glitter it's amazing 😍

[@abbeyosgood9943]

Heyo! Just wondering where you’re sunglasses are from ? The ones you wore to the beach :)

[@hollycollett2050]

Since we all love the book content would you be able to do a bookshelf tour??

[@chelseaa2267]

Ohhh yes!

[@CatherineMH]

skincare you MUST MUST TRY (all from chemist warehouse) SUKIN SUPER GREENS SERUM (creamy and milky, reminds me of the mylk serums from esmi, but so much better and WAY more affordable) (also looks incredible under makeup, it just sits so well when i use this) CERAVE DAILY MOISTURISER CERAVE FOAMING CLEANSER when i run out i can tell because my skin changes dramatically, it just feels so balanced with these products. They are the only 3 things i use! MAKEUP: the mecca off duty blush and contour sticks!!! so affordable and look like skin

[@notana888]

La Roche Posay Anthelios spf 50+ is the best sunscreen! lightweight and no white cast :)

[@aminavojnovic9616]

Yes best way to start the week 🤍

[@natashaminas1]

I tried Paulas choice a few weeks ago and OMG I have never experienced my skin this clear and healthy in a long time. I would say my skin is similar to yours, lots of acne scarring but clear in some parts. I use the pore normalising cleanser, toner with nincinamide the clear moisturiser and absolutely best product- BHA 2% chemical exfoliant (I think that's what it's called?... it has salicic acid in it) I don't use all the products every day, maybe the exfoliant every 3 or so days. I think it's important to give your skin a break especially if your not wearing make-up. But please try!! I've been in the same boat for years with my skin and this is the only brand I've actually seen a difference with in such a short time.

[@tippingata3451]

For skin care my sister and I both swear by Carbon Theory breakout control facial cleansing bar! suuuuuper affordable (from priceline $15) and is by far the best remedy I've found for my skin! plus we also use fresh aloe vera from our garden on our skin once a week to help soothe and minimise redness, hope this helps xx

[@traceydavid1763]

ahhhh im so glad you liked the book I sent over!!

[@raneem.e]

“If you’re a little lonely and want to be a part of a friendship group like me…” little does she know future Rachel 2 years later has found that 😉

[@kayleestill9623]

my ride or die face wash cleanser is cerave !!! i also love their retinol serum too. I’ll never not use it!!

[@Melissa_Ann_95]

La Roche- Posay is really good. I found it helped my skin a lot :)

[@thevalerietan_]

hi! What size is yours at 21.20 for petal & pup dress?

[@ChelseaMirrin]

I love the Mecca To Save Face SPF50+ face sunscreen! I think i've gone through about 5 in the last couple years hahah

[@lydzlilly]

for sunscreen i can’t recommend the la roche posay anthelios sunscreen (in the shaker bottle) but any of the la roche posay sunscreens are amazing - just find the one that suits your skin type! it doesn’t leave a white cast at all - it isn’t oily and blends into the skin suuuper nicely! i think this one has won me over other ones because of its price point (its $20 at chemist warehouse atm!) and because of the amount of sunscreen that you need to wear daily i think this is the best option! i love it because there’s no fragrance in it too and has never broken out my super sensitive skin! x

[@The-DDB]

May I ask why you wouldn't recommend the anthelios sunscreen?

[@sasss04]

@@The-DDB I feel like she may have meant to say can't recommend enough, judging by the rest of her comment. I also love that sunscreen too!!

[@breeana2879]

Alya skin clay mask! Bit pricey, but it’s one of the best out there! It leaves your skin so soft, glowy and it calms down any redness and with frequent use it also flattens bumps and active breakouts! I love it! I have the whole bundle of theirs and I also swear by the foaming cleanser but every product is honestly amazing!

[@sarahmari1402]

Aspect Dr’s A, B and C serums and their resvervatrol moisturiser saved my life!! And their SPF is amazing it smells like bananas. Seriously the best skincare I’ve ever tried

[@oliviaward8480]

skincare recommendation - Mecca cosmetica have the best SPF! I've used it since I was 17 (now almost 22) and I swear by it! As for makeup, maybelline have some amazing cream blushes but so do Mecca max, they're pretty affordable and easy to work with and they have cream bronzers too! I only buy my foundations from Mecca because most drugstore ones don't go fair enough for my skin tone, Nars have the most beautiful range and such a large variety in terms of coverage, finish and skin tone imo & their concealers are amazing too! I loved this vlog

[@SamanthiW12345]

I had a period where I started breaking out on my cheeks and getting, what I'd call, moderate cystic acne. I was constantly picking at my skin, and because I have dark skin the pigmentation of the scarring was just not it. i started getting laser pigment removal (Candela) and now I have little no scarring (it is on the pricier side though)

[@kaylorrrrr]

I love the Bondi sands SPF 50 face sunscreen (the one in the Blue packaging with a pump not the white one). It’s amazing. Otherwise the La Roche Posay face sunscreen in the shaker bottle. I just wish they both made them in a bigger size. Also the ordinary lactic acid serum made a big change for my skin. I use it every second night ALSO THE CANCER COUNCIL BB CREAM it’s 50 spf and tinted. It’s amazing. It sets really well and adds a tint. It’s amazing

[@julia15d]

The ordinary niacinamide! Use it at night. Best thing for my skin helped reduce breakouts and made my scars go away. Never had better skin using only niacinamide at night and hyaluronic acid in the morning. That plus cleanser and moisturizer. Simple routine but works

[@anfoulaben7772]

Psula's choice BHA 2% ... Literally changed my skin, it's great for black and white heads, acne and skin texture. I really advise you to try it!

[@caitlintozer4684]

Sukin is my go to cleanser Hydro boost by neutrogena make up wipes Vitamin C serum by olay under make up Garnier BB cream Probs spelt all that wrong I typed it really fast

[@breerobertson5291]

For skincare I would highly recommend Esmi their products are amazing. They have stuff for pigmentation.

[@gracewaddingham3865]

For skincare, Paulas choice 2% BHA is an amazing liquid exfoliant !! And ultra violette sunscreen is great!

[@bridgetelm27]

Best part of my Monday night 💛💛

[@50scents83]

loveee the ultra violette supreme screen! bit exxy though so I also like the neutrogena ultra-sheer dry touchs spf50. And the ordinary niacinamide + zinc is a holy grail ofc, repurchased like 3 times :)

[@MariamRizvi]

For skincare, I love the brand Antipodes!! My fave product is their Baptise hydrating moisturiser! They also have some really good face masks as well!

[@zahraah3976]

thankful for your vlogs ❤

[@larathomas3877]

Hey Rach, do you have a video on how you create your vision boards online? I am currently trying to make one and just wondering the best website/s to use? Love your videos xoxox

[@daisyfaust9387]

Absolute ride or die sunscreen that I wear everyday, with or without makeup is La Roche-Posy Invisible Fluid 50+ non shiny finish! I get it from Chemist warehouse & it’s v affordable!! Also love all of the Eco by Sonya face wash & the moisturiser is my absolute favourite!! I am acne prone & these products don’t break me out or look oily Xx

[@emilyjones1643]

I highly recommend the glow recipe blueberry bounce cleanser! I’ve noticed such a change in my skin since using it 😊

[@samantha138777]

Yay! So excited you are art journaling again 😍

[@AM-up2nu]

The La Roche Possay Effaclar Duo changed my skin, so good for hormonal breakouts and scarring. I use it twice a day under moisturiser and I swear by it. I think I had to get nearly through a full tube before I started noticing serious changes but it’s worth persevering with for the results.

[@haleylauren95]

Tribe skincare! All their products are amazing!

[@lilyclydsdale5577]

my dad is in lockdown in Canberra (he works within the defence force and got posted there) but when we got out of our lockdown in august he returned back to Canberra and got back into one. there in lockdown until oct 15 at this stage and I'm wishing her will be home for my semi formal in November. we've sent many different care packages and also fathers day gifts. He missed out on my 17th birthday and fathers day due to the lockdown but I guess that's what covid times are now.

[@thedoglover3103]

[@buvinidesilva8471]

This has to be one of my favourite vlogs you posted Rachel ❤️🥺

[@kaylahfrench4719]

Benzac cleanser and the Olay moisturiser SPF! So good 😆😆

[@hollycollett2050]

Literally the highlight of my Monday love you Rachel hope you had a great day!

[@hellolittlesailor]

Ultra Violette Sunscreen is worth every cent :)

[@melissapratt9229]

The Lust Minerals collection is the BEST. I particularly love their skincare, but their makeup is beautiful as well. Plus it is all super aesthetic and clean ingredients too. I have super sensitive skin and it is all so gentle and lovely. :)
