MAVALA MAVADRY SPRAY #TBT REVIEW

I am so glad to have discovered this Quick Dry nail spray and

I have been using now for nearly 2 years and its become

a "must have" for me and for anyone who paints their own nails

like me...

~~~~~~

I'm not generally known for my short product reviews, but I do
think this is my shortest review to date, as the bottom line with a review

on a nail "Quick Dry" spray, 

IS

"does it dry the nails quickly"?

Believe it or not we don't seem to have much choice, here in South Africa,

 when it comes to nail quick dry products, especially in a spray format.

After much searching I discovered that MAVALA the Swiss nail experts

had exactly what I was looking for in the form of the

 MAVALA 

MAVADRY SPRAY

I managed to find this product at my local Dischem and couldn't

wait to put it to the test.

You very rarely see my finger nails naked and I've used nail polish

for way longer than I truly care to remember.

Over that time I have lost count of how many times I have smudged

my freshly painted nails either on the bedlinen or on my bedside lamp

as I go to turn it off at night.( I have always painted my nails in bed at night)

I was in desperate need of a quick dry type product in a spray form as 

opposed to a paint on application and the MAVALA offering seemed to be

my only option.

(If you have any other recommendations in SA then please leave me

a comment below, so I can review)

MAVADRY SPRAY claims to dry nail polish in seconds (touch-dry), 

prevent chipping and make your manicure more brilliant.

Bottom Line, it works, my nails were touch dry after a couple of sprays, 

I can't say it prevented chipping, but it did give my home paint job a

more professional looking, lustrous finish.

Note: Does not contain any gas that depletes the ozone layer.

For me this product is now a "Must Have" and I don't know how I

have persevered for so long without it.

Sadly it doesn't come cheap, I suppose I can only give you feedback

on cost per use, once the can is finished and that will determine wether its 

brought out for emergency quick dry's of not, but for now I can highly 

recommend especially if you don't have the time or the patience to literally

hang around waiting for paint to dry...

MY TOP 10 HAIR & BODY PRODUCTS PART 1 {2020}

My annual Top Hair & Beauty Products list for 2020 has had to increase 

from six in 2019 to ten for 2020 and I don't think it will be long before I have 

to split these into two separate categories.

These products are in no particular order and are the best hair & body products 

that I have tried and tested in 2020. I have decided to run this post over 

2 parts again (part 2 will be up on Tuesday 26/1/21) as I did with 

My Top 12 Skincare products of 2020, which you can catch up with 

by clicking on the Pink Links below

Part 1 & Part 2

I will also link my Top 6 Make-up Products 2020 Here

JO MALONE LONDON

WOOD SAGE & SEA SALT

COLOGNE 

Having struggled to find Jo Malone fragrances that I really connect with, 

and love enough to buy, 2020 saw me fall in love with their popular

Wood Sage & Sea Salt Cologne.

I'm already a fan of the Earl Grey & Cucumber Cologne, so I'm happy

to add this to my JML collection, which at the moment only consists

of two and considering the size of the Jo Malone fragrance offering is

not very many.

I have to have a love affair with my fragrances, so who knows maybe

2021 will add another "love" to my fragrance wardrobe.

MAVALA

MAVADRY SPRAY

This is a product that I regret not having discovered years back, as it would 

have saved my nails and my patience on so many occasions.

This Quick Dry nail spray works brilliantly when you want to dry your

 freshly painted nails in double quick time.

I was a little concerned initially as to how long the spray can would last, 

as it is a rather pricey indulgence, but I'm glad to say that my 1st can seems

 to be keeping up with the pace at which I paint my nails, so the cost per use

 isn't very high and that's always a good sign.

RITUALS

RITUAL OF AYURVEDA

FOAM BATH

Sadly not available in South Africa RITUALS has a great collection

of pamper and holistic well being products that hail from the Netherlands.

Actually it's a good thing that they're not available in SA, as they would 

be taking all my money, as I cannot rave enough about these products, 

so on your next trip overseas (whenever that will be) treat yourself to 

something, as you will not be disappointed.

The RITUAL OF AYURVEDA is my personal favourite and the link below

 will take you to my review on several of the products from this range and

whilst I adore them all, the Foam Bath is one of my absolute faves of all time.

Not knowing when I can replenish my stock of any of the products

I am conserving my last couple of uses...

NATUR VITAL

HAIR S.O.S

FORTIFYING MASK

DAMAGED HAIR

My 2019 Top Hair & Body Products list also included a shampoo from the 

same brand and range. Natur Vital have an extensive collection

of hair care products for hair loss/thinning hair and like it or not our

hair does thin with age.

I have been using the usual trio of hair products i.e. Shampoo,Conditioner

and Hair Mask for most of 2019 and I am loving this range and having always

 been one to invest in the more expensive Professional Salon brands 

my budget is loving it to.

I find the mask to deeply nourish and condition without overloading

the hair with product and the size of the tub makes this very cost effective.

The Natur Vital have an extensive hair care product range and is well

worth further investigation whether it be for colour treated hair, dandruff

prone, sensitive scalps or Vegan options Natur Vital seems to have all

bases covered.

CETAPHIL

SUN SPF 50+

LOTION

This has been a newish discovery for me, but that being said its

been a big hit with all the family this summer.

We have had no sunburn whatsoever and it works just as well

on the face as it does on the body.

It does exactly what it says on the packaging and

the price again is good and a little covers well and it has been our

go to sun protection.

BEAUTY PRODUCTS CURRENTLY UNDER REVIEW {NOVEMBER 2020}

 WoW the time is seriously whizzing by and I cannot believe that we 
are fast approaching Christmas and a New Year, which hopefully is better
than 2020.

November sees me reviewing 4 beauty products including two hair, one nail

and one make-up product.

MAVALA MAVADRY SPRAY 

I have been on the hunt for a nail polish quick dry spray for

 sometime and I had no idea how difficult it was to find one, 

let alone a good one.

Sorbet nail salons have a Quick Dry spray that they use at the end

of your mani or pedi, but unfortunately they don't retail it in salon

and neither do Clicks, the main other retailer of Sorbet products.

I eventually found this one from the Swiss nail experts MAVALA, so

I'm looking forward to giving this a try, even if it is on the pricey side.

SUNDAY SAVINGS - MAVALA

Woolworths at the moment have a lovely saving on selected Mavala nail products. 

WREWARDS BUY ANY 3 PAY FOR 2 

This saving is only available to those that are part of the WREWARDS program, so if you don't have any Woolworths store cards then you really are missing out on those extra discounts and saving offers.

This Swiss beauty brand, known primarily in SA for nail and hand care have been making all things "nails" their business for over 

50 years.

The quality of Mavala can always be assured and what I enjoy is the mini packaging of 5mls, which is considerably smaller than most other nail brands. I find that I rarely finish a larger sized bottle of nail polish, as it goes either thick or I lose interest in the colour and I end up throwing it away, whereas with the Mavala minis I do use to the end, also they are a great size to travel with. So whether you fancy treating yourself or just stocking up for upcoming gifts then check out some of my selections below.

Mavala Mini Nail Polish

R 72.00

This compact 5ml nail polish is long-lasting, and available in a range of classic and chic shades.

Mavala Top Coat Fixator

R72.00

This 5ml clear top coat helps prolong the life of your manicure by preventing chips and fading.

Mavala Nail Shield Treatment

R234

This 2-step treatment has been developed to help give nails resistance, protecting them from daily tasks and other damaging elements.
