CURRENTLY UNDER REVIEW {AUGUST 2017}

July came and went so quickly, mainly due to my wonderful 2 week holiday in the UK & Belgium, that I find it hard to believe that we are already in the first week of August and it's time for me to let you know what products will be under review this month

As you can imagine I couldn't resist picking up a selection of beauty products on my trip, especially those that aren't available in South Africa and I have included three of these below.

it Cosmetics CC Cream was on the top of my UK shopping list, as I have read so many glowing reviews and by all reports it's apparently like no other CC Cream on the market and after reading the packaging its ticking all my skincare boxes.

It did come with a price tag of £30 and was the most expensive of my UK haul.

Garnier Skin Active Soothing Botanicals Cleansing Milk and Toner are not available yet in South Africa and as I'm always on the look out for good budget cleansing products I thought I would give this pretty pink duo a try.

L'Oreal Pure Clay Glow Mask forms part of a range of masks that L'Oreal launched in SA last year and I thought it was time to put this one to the test.

L'Oreal Skin Perfection Micellar Water will be under review this month, as I often include a Micellar Water in my daily skincare regime and I must say I'm slightly drawn to them and this one has been on my radar for some time now.

Hopefully I will post my honest reviews on all of these products during the course of August, so check back to find out what I personally think...

MY UK GARNIER SKINCARE HAUL

Garnier is a very affordable drugstore skin care brand regardless of which country you buy it in and on my recent trip to the UK I bought 3 items that I don't think are available yet in South Africa.
I've written several posts on Garnier products, so if you would like to catch up then click on the pink link below

To read my previous reviews

Always on the hunt for effective drugstore cleansers and toners I picked up their pretty pink duo from Boots - Skin Active Soothing Botanicals Cleansing Milk with Rose Water and the Skin Active Soothing Botanicals Toner with Rose Water for Dry and Sensitive Skins and for the first time Garnier have included 96% Natural Origin Ingredients.

I would be lying if I said that I wasn't drawn to these products because of their pretty packaging and obviously the pink just shouted out soothing, calming and nourishing and I'm really looking forward to giving these a try.

This Moisture Bomb Tissue Mask is relatively new in the UK and again I think that this Super-Hydrating Soothing Sheet Mask is only being launched later in the year here in SA.

Seeing that in 2017 I'm focusing on reviewing face masks I did buy the Garnier Moisture Bomb Tissue Mask (blue packaging) on my last trip in November, but I still haven't used it, so I need to use that perhaps, before I try this one. 

As usual you can always be assured that I will post full reviews on my blog to help you decide whether these products are worth a purchase or not...

KIEHL'S CALENDULA & ALOE SOOTHING HYDRATION MASQUE {REVIEW}

The "Tell It All" name of this latest face mask offering from Kiehl's, sounded wonderful and I sensed I would like this mask before I even I tried the product.

2017 is my year for masking and so far I've successfully changed from a once a month mask person to a weekly multi masking addict...

I've already discovered and included a Kiehl's mask into my beauty regime and you can read my rave review on the Turmeric & Cranberry Seed Energising Masque

Kiehl's Calendula & Aloe Soothing and Hydration Masque

This Calendula & Aloe Soothing Hydration Masque helps to soothe, hydrate, and reduce signs of skin distress. This masque is incredibly lightweight, refreshing and the cooling gel  soothes immediately upon application.

With continued use of Kiehl’s calendula & aloe vera face masque, skin is revitalised for a healthy-looking complexion, however after only one application I can't vouch for this, but I have no doubts that it will, as it's formulated with hand-picked Calendula flower petals, which are packed with soothing and anti-inflammatory properties and

Aloe Vera is well known for nourishing and hydrating the skin by increasing the water content of the cells.

This masque can be used on all skin types and is gentle enough to use up to 3 x a week and should be applied as a visible layer and left for 5 minutes before rinsing off with warm water.
