TATA HARPER RESURFACING MASK {REVIEW}

This Resurfacing Mask has always been used a part of the 

TATA HARPER

facials that I have had, and love, so it was good to experience it

at home in a sample form.

The sample sachet allowed for a thick layer to be applied all over the 

face and neck in one application.

TATA HARPER is the undisputed ‘Queen of Green’ and her super-natural

 award winning

skin care has impressed beauty editors & award panelists worldwide.

This is an instant glow treatment mask. 

A glow-giving treatment that instantly restores radiance to skin. 

Best for blocked pores, dull, or rough skin.

TATA HARPERS best selling mask promises to instantly transform 

a dull complexion into a vibrant, glowing one with natural BHA 

from white willow bark and pomegranate enzymes.

Packed with a wonderful cocktail of natural ingredients;

Ingredients for Glow

Pomegranate Enzymes

White Willow Bark

Calendula

Arnica

Rose Otto

Ingredients to Refine Pores

Pink Clay

Meadowsweet

Alfalfa

Lemongrass

Bergamot

Ingredients to Smooth & Soften Skin Texture

Beet Root Extract

Barley

Olive Oil

Elderberry

Cassava Tapioca

For immediate glow, apply a thick layer of the Resurfacing Mask

 on a clean face and neck 

(avoid the eye area)

Can be used by on all skin types except exceptional sensitive skins.

Leave the mask on for 20-30 minutes 

(10 minutes is recommended for sensitive skin). 

Rinse thoroughly with warm water. 

Can be used up to 3 times per week.

Also as a spot treatment, apply a small dab on blemish and leave overnight;

 reapply as necessary.

Free of toxins, fillers, artificials, synthetics, and GMOs. 

This product is vegan, cruelty-free.

This amber pink slight rose scented gel mask is easy peasy

to apply and after 10 mins expect the mask to feel dry and slightly

tight on the face and neck, which is a sensation that I like to feel

on my skin.

I left mine on for 30 minutes and then removed and the radiant

glow was noticeable and whilst my skin felt comfortable and

soft I cannot say it felt any smoother, however I deep exfoliate weekly,

so I do stay on top of any rough texture caused by those nuisance

dead cells.

As for refining my pores I don't have an issue at my age, so I 

 cannot comment, but for me the GLOW alone was good

enough for me...

SUNDAY SAMPLE

As a reminder TATA HARPER make products with 100% non-synthetic,

nontoxic ingredients that are found in nature.

They also have the Farm to Face promise with: 

No outsourcing

No shortcuts 

They do it all themselves with their own people on their our own farm 

in Vermont.

 TATA HARPER 

facials are one of my favourite facials to have meaning that I

have previously experienced the 

TATA HARPER

RESURFACING MASK

This is a glow-giving treatment that instantly restores radiance to skin. 

Best for blocked pores, dull, or rough skin.

So I'm keen to give this treatment a try at home and I may include

it as part of a mid week self care mini facial and I will report back

to you with my full review next Sunday.

TATA HARPER REGENERATING CLEANSER {REVIEW}

 This will be my 3rd product review of 

TATA HARPER 

skincare products and so far we've had one hit and one miss.

As a quick reminder TATA HARPER is a US brand

and their botanical ingredients have pioneered the ‘farm-to-face’ trend,

 offering a premium, sustainable line of products and accompanying treatments.

 Each Tata Harper product contains biodegradable ingredients which meet

 COSMOS and EcoCert standards, and are packaged with fully recyclable

 and sustainable materials. 

Ingredients are sourced from vendors that are certified for their use of

 organic agriculture, respecting biodiversity and the environment, 

and using natural resources responsibly. 

Tata Harper is also certified by the American Vegetarian Association 

and is 100% cruelty free.

TATA HARPER herself is without doubt the undisputed 

"Queen of Green"  

Tata’s super-natural skin care has 

bewitched beauty editors and award panelists to win many

accolades and the hearts of fans around the world.

The Regenerating Cleanser

is a daily cleansing & exfoliating treatment that buffs and polishes 

for radiant, healthy looking skin.

 Best for dull, uneven, or congested skin.

This type of exfoliating daily cleanser appeals to me greatly,

especially if its a combined chemical and physical cleanser

which I'm happy to say that this is...

This creamy cleanser provides both physical and chemical exfoliation

 with apricot microspheres and BHA from white willow bark to give 

you a healthy looking, radiant glow.

I must make mention that the physical element is very gentle and

suitable for sensitive skins.

And just for good measure 

100% of the total ingredients are from natural origin.

80 % of the total ingredients are from Organic Farming.

COSMOS ORGANIC certified by Ecocert Greenlife

For best results, apply to dry skin and massage gently to 

activate and polish.

 Rinse thoroughly with warm water. 

Can be used daily AM & PM.

It can be used on all skin types.

~~~~~~

This was, without doubt, one of the best smelling cleansers 

I've ever used, it was naturally fresh and citrusy and truthfully

 it lifted my mood instantly,

 whilst on the cleansing/exfoliating front it 

performed pretty well also.

My skin felt beautifully cleansed, yet not stripped or in need of

too much re-hydration.

I cannot comment too much on the de-congestion aspect of 

this cleanser, as my skin doesn't suffer from that.

I just know that as a combined cleansing and exfoliating

daily cleanser it buffed and brightened my skin and

if you are looking for a natural organic, yet luxury skincare brand,

 then you cannot go wrong with TATA HARPER and this cleanser

would be a perfect product to start with....

BEAUTY PRODUCTS CURRENTLY UNDER REVIEW {FEBRUARY 2023}

Below are the 4 products that I will be reviewing during February.

I have a real mixed bag that includes a lip gloss, exfoliating cleanser, 

a moisturiser and a rather expensive Italian room fragrance. 

CLINIQUE

MOISTURE SURGE

I've been waiting for the hot humid months to put this

product to the test and February is a great time.

Not being a huge fan of Clinique products I have heard good

things about this hydrating moisturising gel.

GLOSSIER

LIP GLOSS

This lip gloss was part of my recent beauty edit box from the UK

and it will be my first product from Glossier and whilst it wouldn't 

have been my first choice of product from the brand

I'm excited to try it nonetheless.

TATA HARPER

REGENERATING EXFOLIATING

CLEANSER

I'm intrigued by this daily exfoliating cleanser, as it provides

both a gentle physical and chemical peel, which appeals

to me greatly.

Whilst I absolutely adore TATA HARPER facials and I have

had 2 over the past couple of months, I find their 

skincare products to be a little underwhelming, so I'm really hoping

 that this will impress.

DR.VRANJIES

HOME FRAGRANCE

Not an actually beauty product, but a room fragrance

does add a "Beauty-full" aroma to any home, so I'm

including it in this months reviews.

I do have the Dr.Vranjies Diffuser in the same scent

ROSSO NOBILE

and I, like many others, adore the fragrance.

However will the room fragrance spray be as delightful

as the diffuser?

I will let you know during this month.

BEAUTY PRODUCTS CURRENTLY UNDER REVIEW {NOVEMBER 2021}

 Yes it's time for me to announce the products that I will be reviewing during November and I cannot quite believe there's only 2 months left of 2021.

I know I say it every month, but I do have some exciting products to

review in the upcoming weeks and that's because I'm rather choosy as to

which products I either buy or accept as PR gifts, of which there are

five this month.

1.

RAIN

BOTANICAL 

FACIAL EXFOLIATOR

More known for their bath, body and home fragrance RAIN launched a 

collection of skincare products back in 2019 and this is the 3rd product

from their Botanical skincare range that I have been gifted to try and as 

you may or not know, an exfoliator is my most loved skincare product,

as it delivers instant results, so I'm keen to see how this one performs

in relation to the many others that I have used since I was in my

early 20's, YES that's how long I having been weekly exfoliating

my skin.

TATA HARPER

HYALURONIC GEL MOISTURISER

I was given this product as part of a PR invite to experience the

newly introduced TATA HARPER treatments at the

 Oyster Box Hotel Spa earlier this year and I have held it back to use

at the beginning of summer, so now is the ideal time to try this

weightless, hydrating daily moisturiser thats packed with 

37 High-Performance ingredients.

EVE LOM

RADIANCE FACE MIST

With age I'm drawn more and more to all things that promise

 Radiance or mention the word Radiance, as that is what the skin lacks

with the advancing years.

This product was one of my very rare impulse purchases, but having tried

a couple of EVE LOM products previously, so my interest was piqued.

I'm an avid user of facial sprays and combine with radiance enhancing

ingredients I have high hopes for this product.

AVÈNE 

TOLÉRANCE CONTROL

I was kindly sent this collection of the newly launched products

  AVÈNE TOLÉRANCE CONTROL 

 which have been formulated to both control and de-sensitise

skin that is Hypersentive, reactive, intolerant or allergic.

Apparently 1 in 2 women report have a hypersensitive skin, having

said this, my hubby has already fallen in love with the one product.

I will be reviewing these products in one post during this month and no

doubt hubby will throw in his findings.

There are 3 products available:

TATA HARPER PURIFYING CLEANSER {REVIEW}

At the end of 2020 I was invited to experience a Tata Harper facial

at the

 Oyster Box Hotel Spa.

The Red Carnation Hotels Collection, Southern Africa, is proud to announce 

that all four of its hotels, will be the first on the continent to offer the

 renowned USA Tata Harper range of skincare products and treatments.

I did write a blog post about my wonderful treatment at the spa,

so if you would like to catch up on that Click here

A pioneer in natural luxury skincare, Tata Harper herself couldn't find

 100% natural products that were up to her impeccable 

standards of efficacy, quality, and purity. 

So she started Tata Harper Skincare to make them - for herself, and for 

women like her who refuse to risk their health for beauty. 

If she doesn’t feel that a product is perfect, she won’t launch it.

Tata Harper’s botanical ingredients have pioneered the ‘farm-to-face’ trend,

 offering a premium, sustainable line of products and accompanying

 treatments. 

Each Tata Harper product contains biodegradable ingredients which meet

 COSMOS and EcoCert standards, and are packaged with fully recyclable

 and sustainable materials. 

Tata Harper is also certified by the American Vegetarian Association 

and is 100% cruelty free.

I was kindly gifted a couple of their skincare products and over the

past few months I have been trying the 

Tata Harper Purifying Cleanser

Whilst a purifying cleanser isn't possibly skin type appropriate for me

I did read up on Tata Harper website 

"Which Cleanser is Right for Me" 

and this cleanser is suitable for all skin types and I incorporated

into my skincare regime for occasional use.

The Tata Harper Purifying Cleanser combats the daily wear 

and tear of environmental exposure and pollution.

A powerfully purifying cocktail of sugars, Broccoli extract and 

fruit enzymes thoroughly cleans the skin and refines pore appearance, 

while an invigorating blend of essential oils helps flush away impurities 

for a deeply refreshed feel.

This luxurious soap-free cleanser has a cooling effect on the skin and 

focuses on removing the toxins that our skin comes in contact with

 every day, such as pollution and other debris.

The ingredients draw out impurities, clear debris off skin surface and pores,

This gel-to-oil cleanser is a daily or occasional detox treatment. 

For best results, massage onto dry skin and avoid direct contact with eyes.

 Rinse thoroughly with cold water. 

Use daily AM & PM.

Due to their cleansers being treatments, they recommend massaging 

them onto dry skin for maximum results and I found myself doing

just that.

When applied to dry skin the gel turns into a luxurious oil and once water

is added it turns into a rather refreshing foam that leaves

your skin feeling incredibly clean yet soft and not feeling stripped.

The fragrance of this cleanser is both clean and fresh and it's

one of the nicest smelling cleansers that I've tried.

Despite not being my first choice in their 5 cleanser product line-up

there are times where I feel my skin needs a deeper cleanse and

I found it to work very well.

I can only imagine how wonderful this product would feel and how 

effectively it would deep cleanse a blemished, oily or congested skin...

MONTHLY FAVOURITES {MARCH & APRIL 2021}

I have 5 "faves" for you today and as I predicted ELEMIS

skincare features again this month and it does so with two great products.

I have experienced their wonderful Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm and

their Super Serum Elixir.

My hair and lips were treated to products that they loved and I also

got to experience a wonderful new skincare brand and facial at the

award winning Spa in the iconic 5* Oyster box Hotel.

As always I will link the full reviews in Pink

CHRISTOPHE ROBIN

 CLEANSING PURIFYING

SCRUB

WITH SEA SALT

My love for the french haircare brand Christophe Robin isn't

waning, in fact its growing with this cleansing scrub.

The cleansing purifying scrub with sea salt is ideal as a detox treatment 

as it cleanses, purifies and restores balance to sensitive or oily scalps. 

It can also be used as a post-colour treatment to sooth tingling 

and itching sensations and I'm loving how clean it makes my scalp

and hair feel.

TATA HARPER

ILLUMINATING FACIAL

AT THE OYSTER BOX SPA

This has, so far, been a beauty highlight of the year and I cannot

 wait to return for another TATA HARPER facial at the Oyster Box

Hotel Spa, as it was not only a divine treatment, but it was a

great introduction to the USA natural skincare brand TATA HAPER,

which has recently launched both their retail products and 

salon treatments at the RED CARNATION Hotels Spas

in South Africa.

I also have two of their skincare products that I will be reviewing 

in the future.

active serum has been an absolute pleasure to use.

BURTS BEES

LIP SHIMMER

The luminous lip shimmers glide on with the perfect complement of 

moisture and touch of delicate colour that looks 

great alone or over the top of your favourite lipstick.

I found it to work well over the top of all my lip shades. 

The inclusion of Peppermint gives the lips that fresh invigorated plump

 feel which I personally loved.
