QUICKIE PRODUCT REVIEWS {JULY 2020}

I have 4 QPR'S to give you feedback on this month, two can't be helped as they're 

COVID 19 related, one is an addition to a product I already love and the other

is a beauty tool that I have my doubts about and one of these products receives 

a 10/10 score...

1.

Brand : L'Occitane

Product : Verbena Clean Hands Gel

Size : 65ml

Price : R145

Sadly L'Occitane have discontinued my favourite Clean Hands Gel of all time,

 the Lavender Clean Hands Gel in the tube.

The Verbena Clean Hands Gel, is a new addition to the range, which just happens to be 

 another of my "Fave" L'Occitane fragrances and if you're a lover of all things Verbena like me, then this product will not disappoint, as it has a strong hit of Verbena that lasts.

This convenient flip top container houses a 60% hydro alcoholic hand sanitiser with

the typical fresh lemony scent of Verbena, that leaves no stickiness or resides behind

 and its an ideal size to carry around.

Verdict : 10/10

2.

Brand : L'Occitane

Product : Vanilla Bouquet Hand Cream

Size : 30ml

Price : R150

L'Occitane are without doubt the experts when it comes to Hand Creams and this

Vanilla one is no exception.Containing 20% Shea Butter it ensures that even the driest

of hands are left feeling protected, nourished, softened, yet non greasy.

L'Occitane hand creams are a perfect option for men.

Hand Creams have become a daily application for me and I'm enjoying the process.

Whilst L'Occitane seem to have an endless variety of fragranced hand creams on offer

I find the Vanilla Bouquet to have a rather sweet and synthetic fragrance

which doesn't make sense, as its natural brand and it wouldn't be the fragrance

 I would choose again.

Verdict : 7/10

3.

Brand : Real Techniques

Product : Dual-ended Expert Sponge

Price : R139.95

I saw this "new look" Real Techniques foundation/blush/highlighter make-up sponge

 in Dischem some weeks ago and picked one up as my two, that I have currently on the go

are looking very well used and tired.

Having used the Real Techniques brand for several years I not 100% convinced that

this dual tone one was made of the same material, as previous ones and somehow it just 

doesn't apply or blend in the same way.

I only use a sponge to apply foundation and I must admit I often use my good old hands to

apply, so I'll see how this one goes, but I sense that my hands will become the best 

and only foundation application tools I need.

Verdict : 6/10

4.

Brand : Natur Vital

Product : Hair S.O.S Fortifying Conditioner (Damaged Hair)

Price : R99.95

I am really enjoying this range of hair products and I have included the same shampoo

in a previous QPR post. Click here

It also gained a well deserved place on my Top 6 Hair & Body Products 2019

The conditioner compliments the shampoo well and  gives my hair a well conditioned look

 and feel without leaving my hair feeling overloaded with oils that ultimately give hair

 that weighed down heavy feeling.

Exclusively available from Dischem and they have an extensive hair care range catering

for all hair types and conditions and I highly advise you to check them out, especially if

you're suffering from loss of volume/hair loss.

Verdict : 8/10
