RECENT EMPTIES OCTOBER 2022

 I'm pleased to say that "My Recent Empties" post is becoming a regular

item here on Beauty Shout Box and for those that have followed me

for a few years now, will know, that I've never been the best at keeping 

my empty bottles in order to write this type of post.

Recently I seem to have had several beauty products finish within a

 few weeks of each other.

Let me know in the comments below if you have tried any of these 

products and your thoughts...

L-R

INOAR 

+AMOR -SODIO 

TREATMENT MASK

My 250ml pot of this hair mask has finally and sadly come to an end.

After the first application I wasn't overly impressed, so on the 2nd

use I increased the amount I applied and left it on longer than the

recommended 3 minutes and WOW what it difference that change made.

I actually used the last few scrapings of this mask last night and my hair,

 as always after using, feels incredibly soft, looks shiny and fuller.

It leaves no oily coating on the hair shaft, so the hair doesn't

feel weighed down with product and now that I have my

 correct dosage and timings worked out, my hair smells & feels great

 every time and my hair has truly loved this mask.

SKOON.

OH SHERBET! 

EXFOLIATING MASK

Another product that made me slightly sad when I emptied

 out the last few grains of powder.

As expected it refined, smoothed and brightened and

despite this mask not being 100% for my skin type I've grown

to love a little mask mixing and applying with a brush, as it seems to 

add something extra to my more leisurely pamper sessions 

and I highly recommend.

LIVING PROOF

PERFECT HAIR DAY 

DRY SHAMPOO

This in my opinion is the best Dry Shampoo and as usual

I can only buy it overseas and is always on my UK shopping list. 

Sadly my last large can has recently finished and I'm

now down to my 2 travel sizes.

It leaves no powder or white residue behind and my hair
not only smelt fresh, but it was for me - acceptably clean and many
dry shampoos are not able to give your hair that clean feeling.

I do believe that Living Proof now have a new addition to their

range in the form of

Perfect hair Day Advanced Clean Dry Shampoo 

which I will definitely buy next time as its an advanced dry shampoo

 that removes oil, sweat, and odour from hair while adding softness

 and shine for that fresh-out-of-the-shower look and feel.

L'OCCITANE 

SHEA BUTTER 

COMFORTING BUBBLE BATH

This white liquid has the comforting signature Shea fragrance that I adore.

It turns your bath into a luxurious, moisturising haven of bubbles, 

but has it stolen my "bubble bath heart"?

No, it hasn't and the L'Occitane Lavender Foam bath is still my 

ultimate bath product and it would really take something exceptional 

to steal my heart away from the iconic lavender foam bath.

SKOON.OH SHERBET! EXFOLIATING MASK #TBT REVIEW

This throwback review only goes back to August 2021 and

seeing that my last product review was on the 

SKOON. RUBY MARINE Overnight Hydrating Mask

and I thought it would be an ideal time to re-post my

review on the SKOON. OH SHERBET! Exfoliating Mask,

as the 2 products work really well together.

To read the RUBY MARINE Mask Review

Exfoliate first with the OH SHERBET! remove and then apply the

RUBY MARINE overnight and Voila! you wake up to super

smooth, hydrated and soothed skin.

SKOON. is a home grown skincare brand that

with a small, strong, women-led South African team are driving hard to

 offer more conscious choices with beauty secrets that for centuries

 have been handed down through generations of African tradition. 

(SKOON means Clean in Afrikaans)

Formulated to revive and refine, nourish, replenish and bring you the 

cleanest, kindest beauty on Earth. 

Wherever possible, their lab on a farm near Cape Town chooses potent

 natural ingredients harvested sustainably in Africa. 

Non-toxic, effective, clinically proven ingredients that are both ancient 

and incredibly modern - and boosted by science-led thinking in formulating.

SKOON. is both Clean, Kind & Scientific.

I recently received my 1st SKOON product, a full size 

OH SHERBET! Exfoliating Mask and Mask Brush 

in a beauty box and whilst it wouldn't have been a product I would have 

purchased I was glad to receive and put it to the test, as I had heard such

 good things about this mask.

The Azelaic Acid + Probiotic Clay Mask helps clears pores and exfoliate 

dull skin.

OH SHERBET! Azelaic acid 10% exfoliating clay mask can be used 

daily for breakouts. 

Gentle Cape clay is super absorbent and will further help to mop up excess 

oil and dry out bumps and blemishes. 

Other ingredients include:

Kaolin

Azalaic Acid

Glycerine

Lactobacillus

Lemon Peel Oil

Lavender & Geranium Flower Oil

Although OH SHERBET! is a wash-off mask you can also spot treat 

individual breakouts with dabs of clay mask and leave it on overnight.

 ◦ Gentle exfoliation - no harsh abrasions

 ◦ Mops up excess oil

 ◦ Reduces breakouts

 ◦ Anti-redness

Unfortunately I cannot comment on how well it deals with excess oil or 

reducing breakouts, as at my age I don't suffer from these issues, so

I'm really reviewing the exfoliating & brightening aspect of this product.

This mask can be used either AM or PM by adding a small amount of

the blush tinged Sherbet clay powder into a small bowl, add a few drops 

of water in order to create the active paste, which is then painted onto

a clean skin with the mask brush. (avoid the eye area)

The mask will change colour from the blush shade to a solid white

and as expected from a clay mask it will harden on the face. 

It's left on the skin for 5-8 minutes before rinsing off with water.

Do expect some tingling.

I personally use this mask once every couple of weeks.

I thoroughly enjoyed the more traditional process of mixing

the mask and applying with a brush, as this was how masks were

created and applied during my beauty training back in the late 70's.

Not everyone will enjoy that "tight" feel of the mask, as it dries

and hardens, which is typical of a clay mask, but I certainly did.

It was easy to both apply and remove and had a pleasant 

delicate rose fragrance.

I found the mask to be quite stimulating on my non sensitive skin

and it certainly increases the circulation, which wasn't an issue for me,

but maybe it would be for more sensitive skins.

As expected it refined, smoothed and brightened my skin and followed

 with any of my usual post exfoliation face masks, my skin always felt good.

I can only imagine how well this mask would work on an

oily and congested skin and as a specific overnight spot remedy.  

Despite this mask not being 100% for my skin type I've grown

to love a little mask mixing and applying

with a brush, as it seems to add something extra to my 

more leisurely pamper sessions and I highly recommend.
