QUICKIE PRODUCT REVIEWS {QPR} NOVEMBER 2018

Despite not writing a QPR post in October 

I don't have too many products to review, as most of the products I've tried recently deserved a full dedicated blog post.

Brand : WBEAUTY Woolworths

Product : Hydro Lipstick (Shade Koki)

Price : R150

I received this Woolworths own brand WBEAUTY Hydro Lipstick free in a recent Cosmoplitan magazine and we all love a freebie. I think at the time they had 3 shades to chose from and I have to say it wasn't easy to tell which shade was through the outer packaging , so it was 
"Pot Luck" and, for once, I struck Lucky.

The formula is ultra creamy and my lips felt moisturised and comfortably hydrated. 

Verdict : 8/10

~~~~~~~~~

Brand : HASK

Product : Keratin Protein Hair Mask

Price : R62.99

I picked up this HASK Keratin Protein Hair Mask from Clicks and having previously tried their Blue Chamomile and Argan Oil Blonde Care Deep Conditioning sachet,
which I enjoyed, so I thought I would put their Protein mask to the test. 

HASK Keratin Protein Smoothing Deep Conditioner is an ultra restorative, moisturizing hair conditioner that leaves all hair types smooth, shiny and frizz free.
Formulated to deep condition and smooth weakened, damaged and hair.

I loved the softness it gave to my hair and I'm happy to report that it didn't leave my hair feeling weighed down with product. I'm glad to report the sachet will easily last me for 4-5 applications otherwise it would be an expensive hair treatment.

Available from Clicks countrywide.

Verdict : 7/10

The prices below are the normal rsp, so don't forget to deduct the discount.

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. 

Offer available at selected Woolworths stores and can be ordered Online

SUNDAY SAVINGS - WOOLWORTHS HAND & NAIL CREAM

You must go and check out this great promotion on Hand and Nail Creams at Woolworths at the great price of R59.95 each, which equates to R39.96 each and that is a real bargain, but you must be a WREWARDS member.

They have 17 fragrance variants that all come in very pretty packageing and make great stocking fillers, secret Santa gifts or end of year teachers gifts.

These are just 3 of my "faves".

A fruity scent that has a rich feel of cranberry and white nectarine fragranced and is formulated with 10% shea butter to leave hands feeling nourished and moisturised.

I love the fresh fragrance of this sweet citrus and green leaf scented hand and nail cream and again is enriched with shea butter to keep hands soft, nourished and moisturised all day long.
