QUICKIE PRODUCT REVIEWS {QPR'S} FEBRUARY 2020

I cannot believe that it's already time for my February QPR post.

I have two products from the Italian skincare brand BioNike to tell you about, specifically for those mature skins experiencing hormonal changes.

Its also estimated that during the next decade 65% of cosmetic sales will

come from the more mature user.

 I have said on my blog many times that BioNike is a brand that you really

 cannot go wrong with when looking for effective, affordable and easily

accessible products for sensitive or allergy prone skins.

I also have a slightly disappointing product from my normally much loved

Dutch wellness brand

 RITUALS...

1.

Brand : BioNike

Product : Defence My Age Renewing Night Cream

Price : R345

Size : 50mls

Launched last year the BioNike Defence My Age range comprises of 3 products

that are all beautifully packaged in midnight blue glass, which looks extremely Luxe

and I have been lucky enough to put 2 to the test.

Formulated to strengthen skins resilience and enhance your beauty after the age of 50

 by improving skin’s natural ability to cope with ageing and effects caused by those

inevitable hormonal changes.

Based on the Skin Resiliency Complex, it is enriched with Japanese cedar extract 

and every dry skins's best friend, Shea Butter and Hyaluronic Acid.

 Formulated for mature skin to counter skin dryness, dull skin tone 

and loss of skin compactness caused by a drop in hormone levels.

The rich, soft and fast-absorbing texture comes with a delicate floral-marine scent

and is a range to certainly consider if your skin is looking for hydration,

suppleness and radiance.

Verdict :  8/10

2.

Brand : BioNike

Product : Defence My Age Intensive Renewing Serum

Price : R415

Size : 30mls

Available : Exclusively at Dischem

If you haven't yet introduced a face serum into your beauty regime and you are over 

the age of 50 then I highly recommend you look into this one.

Serums always contain the most concentrated of active ingredients.

As with the other 2 products in the My Age collection the serum is based on the

 Skin Resiliency Complex, it is enriched with Argan extract to enhance the 

effects of both the night and day treatments. 

The serum can be used daily under both.

 It has a silky, fluid texture and as with the day & night cream it has 

the same divine floral-marine scent

This trio of products work together to counteract skin dryness, 

loss of radiance, compactness and suppleness caused by a 

drop in hormone levels. 

The skin is left smoother, radiant and more supple.

Verdict :  8/10

3.

Brand : RITUALS

Product : RITUAL of HOLI

CREAM ON 

NOURISHING BODY CREAM

Price : £6.90

Size : 100ml

I have over the last couple of years purchased several products from

The RITUALS of AYURVEDA range and have raved about them, however

part of my 2019 LOOKFANTASTIC Beauty Advent Calendar contained

a 100ml size of The RITUAL of HOLI Body Cream, which sadly 

I'm not going to rave about.

Infused with the scent of Pink Grapefruit and Flamingo Flower I found the fragrance 

to be sweet, delicate and pleasant.

The formula of the body cream is where my disappointment lay and despite

the claim that it's a rich, nourishing cream I didn't find it to be so.

I  don't have particularly dry body skin and despite applying to slightly

damp skin as they recommend my skin just didn't feel well nourished.

Verdict :  4/10

BEAUTY PRODUCTS CURRENTLY UNDER REVIEW {SEPTEMBER 2019}

I'm so excited about the products I have under review this month, as it's a mix of 

French premium hair and skin care products and a new launch from an affordable 

Italian skincare brand.

As always I will post my reviews over the next few weeks, but don't forget in the meantime to follow me on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, (the link icons are in the side bar) to keep up to date with postings and product review news.

Christophe Robin

Delicate Volumizing Shampoo

&

Volumizing Conditioner

with Rose Extracts

*NOW POSTED*

To read my full review

I recently bought this volumizing shampoo and conditioning combo on the strength, 

of my purchase earlier in the year, of the Christophe Robin

Volumizing Paste To read that review 

I so enjoy this different type of hair product that I've splashed out on the corresponding

shampoo and conditioner.

I'm really hoping that this trio of hair products will not only make my hair feel great,

but also feel fuller and more voluminous.

ELEMIS

Pro Collagen Advanced

Eye Treatment

*NOW POSTED*

To read full review

ELEMIS is the #1 Luxury British skincare brand found in luxury salons, 

spas, airports and on luxury cruise liners.

I've only ever tried one product from Elemis previously 

(i think it was De-Stress massage oil) 

and it was many years ago, but it is a brand that I would love to explore more.

For starters I'm going to try out this Pro Collagen Advanced Eye Treatment 

that targets fine lines and wrinkles as well as firms, tones and smooths

the delicate skin around the eyes.

BIONIKE

DEFENCE MY AGE

Intensive Renewing Serum

 and Renewing Night Cream

BioNike has been around since the 1960's and it adopts an allergen-free 

formulation philosophy. This Italian skincare and make-up brand is both affordable

and easily available, as it's exclusive to Dis-chem countrywide.

This is a new launch from them and comprising of 3 products its formulated for skins

that are affected by Hormonal Ageing Factors, so this suits me perfectly.
