RAIN RELAXING NIGHT CREAM #TBT REVIEW

I spoke highly of this night cream (back in May 2022)

 from the South African skincare brand rain and it did make it 

onto my list of

Top 11 Skincare products of 2022.

In case you missed this annual post then here's the link

My Top 11 Skincare Products 2022 Part2

It sat as a Proud South African next to the likes of 

SKOON 

(another SA brand) 

Sisley

By Terry

Augustinus Bader

ELEMIS

and several more well respected international brands, so you

know that this product is amongst some very good "Beauty" company

~~~~~~

Having been a lover of the RAIN bath and body products for many years,

I can now say I'm a huge fan of their face care range.

Launched several years ago, this will be my 4th product review

from their range of 10 products and I have

earmarked a couple more, that I would love to try and bring 

you reviews on in the future.

All the products in the range are formulated to synergistically work together

 to create an ideal skincare routine.  

The aim of the Rain Skincare range is to:

Maintain good skin condition

Maintain skin health through probiotics 

(delivers good bacteria and nutrients to help balance skin)

Provide natural skincare for normal to sensitive skin.

RELAXING NIGHT CREAM

Is a natural relaxing night-time moisturiser, formulated with probiotics 

and botanicals known for skin conditioning.

 It's naturally fragranced with lavender and grapefruit essential oils. 

 African oils such as Baobab, Marula, Kalahari Melon and Moringa will leave

 skin feeling moisturised and conditioned.

For daily evening skincare routine. 

Use after cleansing and toning. 

Apply onto face, neck, and décolletage. 

Recommended use in combination with RAIN Relaxing Night Serum.

This calming night cream has an ultra-rich and luxurious texture and it's

  the type of texture that's reminiscent of the night creams pre the

cream/gel era.

Despite having a rich texture, which is an absolute pleasure to apply

 to a dry/ very dry skin, it isn't heavy at all.

The skin feels comforted, nourished but more importantly non greasy,

which can be an issue with night creams.

It slotted into my existing skincare product line-up perfectly

and not only does it smell of calming Lavender, but a little goes

a long way and it proved to be very cost effective and it's easily

available either in rain boutiques or online.

This is another face product from rain that is well suited for a mans skin,

 as this collection of face products is one that my hubby really enjoys. 

My skin responded well to this night cream and it's one that I would

highly recommend for normal/dry or sensitive skins.

MY TOP 11 SKINCARE PRODUCTS 2022 {PART 2}

 Having posted part 1 of my Top 11 Skincare Products of 2022

a couple of days ago here is part 2 and it consists of 5 products.

if you would like to catch up on part 1 Click here

I have 2 face masks, a primer, a night cream and an expensive

cream that has been on my radar for several years.

BY TERRY 

UV-BASE PRIMER SPF 50

Primers are not high on my beauty agenda and I have only reviewed a 

couple over my blogging time, so when I saw this full size inclusion in the

BY TERRY 2021 Beauty Advent calendar I was interested, 

but not hugely excited.

Did I really need this primer in my life?

This ingenious skin-shielding primer

will PRIME, PERFECT and PROTECT your skin.

The fresh, lightweight cream gel texture gives a non-greasy, dewy finish, 

providing the perfect canvas for all your make up application.

I'm still always surprised when I 

discover I adore a product that I had convinced myself

that either I won't like or don't need, how wrong I can be...

Full Review

I have 2 face masks on this years list and one is a Super Luxe

French product whilst the other is a more affordable South African

home grown brand and both deserve their place on this list.

SISLEY 

BLACK ROSE 

CREAM MASK

This deliciously scented with rose, soft, creamy textured mask creates

 a moment of relaxation and pleasure that felt wonderful on my skin.

Key ingredients immediately get to work on signs of fatigue

 and leaves the skin looking youthful and energized.

 Immediately hydrated and plumped, my skin also felt smoother, incredibly

soft, less fatigued and more radiant.

Of all the products to try 1st from Sisley, this was the ONE and it certainly

 didn't disappoint in any way...

SKOON 

RUBY MARINE 

OVERNIGHT HYDRATING

 FACE MASK

The aim of this face mask is to ultimately give a moisture top up for 

all skin types and boost overnight hydration.

Its formulation promises to both soothe and hydrate your skin whilst

 you sleep. 

It protects against winter dry skin and improves skin barrier,

especially for dull, sensitive skins.

Like no other mask that I have ever felt or applied, it is different and not

the "norm" in masking terms.

This thick pink buttery mask had a divine vanilla fragrance and was easy

to apply.

I found this mask to sit on the skin and create a barrier rather than 

being absorbed into my skin, so therefore it felt quite greasy, which I 

didn't really mind, as it was an overnight product,

The next morning my skin certainly felt softer and this mask

has found a place in my "Masking" wardrobe of products.

AUGUSTINUS BADER

THE RICH CREAM

The original award-winning daily moisturizer is intensely luxurious, 

hydrating and nourishing. 

Supports cellular renewal to dramatically improve the complexion's appearance. 

The texture is luxuriously rich and creamy and it glides on beautifully, yet

initially I wasn't wowed by this product, which I was expecting considering

the price point, but patience is needed as with most skincare and as the first

month of use approached I began to notice my skin was definitely smoother,

plumper, softer and generally was looking great.

 I'm now able to fully understand the cult following/addiction, as

it's been like no other product that I've ever tried.

MONTHLY FAVOURITES {MAY/JUNE 2022}

 I have some great products in this Monthly Favourites post and as 

seems to be he norm over the past couple of years, BY TERRY products

feature once again. Besides loving their primer and their make-up

 blending sponge I also found a wonderful body scrub from NÛXE, a skin tint

from FENTY BEAUTY and a rich night cream from our very own local brand

 RAIN.

1.

NUXE

RÊVE DE THÉ

REVITALISING GRANULAR SCRUB

I do love a good granular exfoliating body scrub/exfoliator and this

newly launched one from NÛXE just hit my body scrub "spot" perfectly.

 Its granular texture and its irresistible scent with notes of green tea, 

rhubarb and fresh herbs delight the senses to create a revitalizing 

sensation of freshness.

 Formulated using plant-based exfoliants, this scrub with its crushed

 ice effect texture exfoliates and smoothes the skin.

 Freed of dead surface skin cells, skin feels revitalised and renewed. 

 For me it combines the perfect exfoliation with a great refreshing fragrance

It's truly bliss for the senses and I adore it...

RAIN

RELAXING NIGHT CREAM

My love of rain body and bath products goes back a long, long way

and then several years ago they entered the face care arena

with a collection of 10 products, of which I have now reviewed 4. 

Knowing that I am a devotee of several French/UK/Swiss brands when

 it comes to good face care products, I was admittedly a little sceptical,

but oh! my! this night cream was a hit with both hubby & I.

This calming night cream has an ultra-rich and luxurious texture and it's

  the type of texture that's reminiscent of the night creams pre the

cream/gel era.

Despite having a rich texture, which is an absolute pleasure to apply

 to a dry/ very dry skin, it isn't heavy at all.

The skin feels comforted, nourished but more importantly non greasy,

which can be an issue with night creams.

It slotted into my existing skincare product line-up perfectly

and not only does it smell of calming Lavender, but a little goes

a long way and it proved to be very cost effective.

BLENDER SPONGE

This blender sponge was part of my Beauty Advent Calendar and this 

agains just goes to prove how great these calendars can be, as I would

never have bought this blender, as I'm a fan of the 

Original "Beauty Blender" make-up sponge.

Since using this one from BY TERRY I don't think I can go back to the

Beauty Blender.

My short review was part of Mays QPR post.

UV BASE

SPF 50

This ingenious skin-shielding primer

will PRIME, PERFECT and PROTECT your skin.

The fresh, lightweight cream gel texture gives a non-greasy, dewy finish, 

providing the perfect canvas for all your make up application.

This is the perfect way to slot sunscreen into your regime without any of the 

hassle and ensure that your skin has the best protection possible, simply apply

 it daily before make up and you’re good to go.

I personally found myself loving this product just as my daily face SPF

irrespective of whether I was applying foundation or not.

FENTY BEAUTY

EAZE DROP

BLURRING SKIN TINT

Rihanna wanted to create a light coverage, easy-to-apply, flexible skin tint

 that instantly evens out your complexion and give a flattering blurred effect. 

Eaze Drop, with hydrating QuickBlur complex, is perfect for a no-makeup

 makeup look, or for when you want to look effortlessly put together. 

 I found it to smooth the skin whilst blurring those imperfections and was 

one of the best products that I have ever tried for that no 

make-up, make-up look.

Ideal if you are not an avid wearer of foundation, but just require some

extra help with evening out the complexion.

It's easy to apply and above all, super flattering, especially for a

mature skin.

Rhianna did a good job with the EAZE DROP as it's all she wanted it

to be and I highly recommend you check this product out.
