MONTHLY FAVOURITES {MARCH & APRIL 2020}

What strange and trying times we are currently living in with the COVID 19 Pandemic

and here in South Africa we have been living in a fairly strict Level 5 national lockdown

for the past 5 weeks and have now moved to a slightly eased Level 4 of Lockdown.

When I last wrote my Monthly Faves post back at the beginning of March I had no idea

 that it would be the last "Normal" such post pre Coronavirus.

I reviewed several beauty products over March and April that I have both loved 

and would highly recommend and include 2 make-up products and 3 skincare

products.As always click on the Pink Link to red my full review on the product

1.

FENTY BEAUTY

FULL FRONTAL

VOLUME AND CURL MASCARA

I've never really been drawn to any of the products from FENTY BEAUTY By Rihanna, 

but this mascara caught my eye and I was intrigued.

You may find my review a little contradictory, but it doesn't detract from the

fact that this is a good mascara albeit a pricey one.

GLAMGLOW

BRIGHTEYES

Since writing my original review and commenting how good this product is,in terms

of cost per use, its still going strong. It has been my comforting go to eye cream 

every morning during lockdown and it shows no signs of coming to an end

 anytime soon.

GATINEAU

GENTLE SILK CLEANSER

After working for GATINEAU many, many, beauty years ago, revisiting this cleanser

was a like visiting an old dear friend and it brought back such good memories

of both working with the brand and using their wonderful products.

Without doubt I would recommend this premium cleanser milk whether you have a sensitive skin or not, besides it being an effective cleanser it soothes, calms 

and comforts the skin and who doesn't enjoy some extra comforting at this time.

STRIVECTIN

ADVANCED GLOW

This was a first for me, as I have never tried any products from the much

acclaimed premium skincare brand - StriVectin and it didn't disappoint.

The Tri-Phase Daily Glow Toner was a pleasure to use and since mine

came to an end, I really am missing my daily encounter with this gentle

 and softening Glow Toner.

GATINEAU GENTLE SILK CLEANSER {REVIEW}

I can't deny that I have a soft spot for Gatineau products it was a French skincare brand that I worked for over 30 years ago and back then Jeanne Gatineau,

as it was known, was held in high regard amongst skincare boffs and nothing has changed.

I recently opted to revisit three of their products and so far I haven't been disappointed.

Last month I reviewed the Floracil Eye Make-up Remover

today it will be their Gentle Silk Cleanser and tomorrows post will be on the

corresponding Gentle Silk Toner, so if you have ever been tempted to try Gatineau products these 3 products maybe a good place to start your 

Gatineau skincare encounter. 

Founded in 1932 by acclaimed Parisian skincare expert Jeanne Gatineau, they are celebrating 85 years as leading specialists in anti-aging skincare.

  Gatineau combine natural ingredients with cutting edge bio-technology to create

 highly effective skincare that delivers visible and lasting results.

The Gentle Silk Cleanser is enriched with delicate Silk and Cotton Extracts, this luxurious milky cleanser gently dissolves all traces of make-up and impurities whilst conditioning the skin. This salon-grade formulation is the most important step in the skincare routine to allow maximum absorption of other products and is suitable for all skin types, 

even the most sensitive.

Can be used both AM & PM and can be rinsed off with water or removed with cotton wool which is my preferred way.

The ingredients include:

Silk Extracts – promote cell regeneration and improve elasticity

Cotton Extracts – leave the skin soft and comfortable

Sweet Almond Oil – nourishes and softens the skin

After using this cleanser all those memories of my time with Gatineau came flooding

back and it's easy to see why this cleanser is one of their Best Selling products and 

if unlike me, you have a sensitive skin, then I highly recommend this soothing cleanser, 

as it left my skin feeling wonderfully soft, comforted and cocooned.
