MONTHLY FAVOURITES {MARCH & APRIL 2023 }

 I have 4 "standout" products that are featuring on my

 Monthly Faves for March & April, so this post is up later than normal,

as its now the 15th May, but that doesn't detract from how great these

products are and they're all from brands that I already love.

1.

FENTY BEAUTY

GLOSS BOMB

LIP LUMINIZER

The non-sticky formula is super shiny, and has an addictive peach-vanilla

scent you just can't get enough of. 

Apparently Rihanna was obsessed with creating

the perfect gloss that makes you want to put it on over and over again.

Since the beginning of March it has been my go to everyday and I'm

loving both the shade and formula and one I would highly

recommend if you are looking for an easy to wear, pretty,

 hint of a tint lip gloss.

RIHANNA's obsession could well have paid off, as she has created 

an excellent rose nude Lip Gloss...

RITUALS

RITUAL OF AYURVEDA

RECOVERY HAND BALM

This rich & luxurious hand balm has been specially developed to soften

 and moisturise dry hands. 

Enriched with softening sweet almond oil and soothing Indian rose, 

your hands will feel nourished and silky soft.

This is without doubt another beautiful scented hand cream from RITUALS

and it becoming apparent that you cannot really go wrong with any

of their hand products.

AVÈNE 

GENTLE EXFOLIATING GEL

I've enjoyed using this rich gel product and despite it being gentle, the

pink microbeads are abundant and noticeable, which I love.

It was way more effective than I expected it to be, as it left my 

skin feeling incredibly smooth.

If you don't use one, then do your skin a huge favour, as it will instantly

 elevate your beauty regime and your skin will not only feel 

smoother & softer, it will look brighter and render all of your skincare

 products more effective.

This one from Avène would make a perfect introduction to the

world of exfoliation.

AVÈNE

CICALFATE+ 

PURIFYING CLEANSING GEL

is a gentle, non-drying foaming cleanser that offers a purifying and 

soothing experience. 

Suitable for sensitive, compromised, or fragile skins.

It offers excellent skin tolerance and can be used on the face, body, 

intimate areas and scalp. 

It's pleasant, blue texture foams on application.

Can be used on the Face, Hands & Scalp and external intimate areas

of newborn infants, children and adults.

My whole family have been using this product 

and all for different reasons.

It's suitable for those, expected and unexpected, 

everyday discomforts

 from nappy rash, scratches, intimate discomfort, infantile skin rashes,

 tattoos, superficial dermatological procedures, umbilical cord care

 and the list goes on.

This product is also recommended for people undergoing

 anti-cancer treatment or post-treatment and can gently cleanse the skin

after superficial dermatological procedures.

It's gentle and soothing on the skin and non drying,

one of those "must have" products in your family bathroom.

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.
