SUNDAY SAMPLE

If you follow me over on Instagram you will already know that I received
this NUXE VERY ROSE 3-in-1 Soothing Micellar Water in a 
MODERN Beauty Box last week
Technically this size 40ml of product is classed as a Travel size rather than 
sample size and it should last me a good few days ensuring that I can
thoroughly this Micellar Water to the test.
However with a cleansing product I can generally tell after a couple of 
uses if it's a good one or not...


Having reviewed many Micellar Waters here on Beauty Shout Box, ranging
from the most infamous and affordable options through to some mid range
 and higher priced French offerings, 
I have finally settled on my favourite micellar water of all time, the
 BIODERMA H20 SENSIBIO

To read other

 So will this product from NUXE be able to knock the iconic 
BIODERMA one of its Micellar pedestal?

Check back next Sunday to find out.

BURT'S BEES TINTED LIP BALM {REVIEW}

2021 has seen me become a huge fan of BURT'S BEES lip products and 
this is the third one that I have tried and loved.
Here are the links to my previous reviews

In my opinion they have nailed ''all things'' lip balms and whether 
you are looking for a traditional moisturising natural lip balm, one with
a shimmer or a tinted lip balm you really can't go wrong with the
BURT'S BEES products, after all they have been perfecting their
Lip Balm art since 1984.





With the compulsory wearing of face masks I'm finding myself turning 
to tinted lip balms more than ever and for me they're my new lipstick.

 
I have been wearing the shade Hibiscus and being sheer you can pretty
 much wear any of the 8 flattering shades, as they all offer a hint of colour
 and the usual Burt's Bees 8 hours of moisture all thanks to the 
Botanical Waxes and Shea Butter.

Burt's Bees products are 100% Natural Origin
Formulated without parabens, phthalates, petrolatum, or SLS
They are so compact to carry, affordable and easily available
 countrywide and online through

SUMMER FRIDAYS JET LAG MASK {REVIEW}

The 
SUMMER FRIDAYS JET LAG MASK
has been on my beauty radar and wish list for, what seems like to
me, an absolute age.
Not having any SUMMER FRIDAY outlets in South Africa it was always
 on my UK Beauty Shopping List and for various reasons it's just never 
made it back home with me and now with the travel bans in place it didn't
 look like I would be getting my hands on one anytime soon.
That was until an online 3rd retailer in SA had a sale and included was 
the illusive Jet Lag Mask, at a price that was slightly cheaper than
I could buy overseas. SOLD!

So I finally got to try the Instagram famous beauty product
SUMMER FRIDAYS JET LAG MASK
YES this wonder mask has been given the Kim Kardashian West 
and Jessica Alba seal of approval.

As this is my first SUMMER FRIDAYS review here is some background
 to the founders and the ethos of their brand.

As beauty influencers, Marianna and Lauren have been sent
 every product imaginable. 
After years of sifting through, comparing and testing each formula,
 they were still left desiring a line of products that ticks all the boxes:
 easy-to-use,
 clean ingredients,
 immediately satisfying,
 and so pretty you'd want them on display.

Their first product, Jet Lag Mask, is the ultimate multi-tasking product 
for busy lives. 
An award-winning, one-of-a-kind hydrating cream face mask 
Today, Summer Fridays is a growing collection of products
 that continue to give us what we are missing
beauty, efficacy and simplicity
while inviting us into a sensorial experiences that are nothing short of
 dreamy escapes for your skin.

As I know all too well busy lives mean we can all get that lag, 
leaving skin stressed, tired and most of all thirsty. 
Used as a nightly mask, daytime moisturiser, or in-flight skin saver, this 
multi tasker’s nourishing vitamins, ceramides and antioxidants leave skin 
instantly renewed, radiant and ready for anything.

Key Ingredients:

CHESTNUT EXTRACT 
Activates the natural exfoliation process, polishing away dullness so
 skin looks radiant, healthy and well-rested (even when you’re not).

VITAMIN C 
This powerful antioxidant brightens skin tone and behaves like a 
moisture-magnet, boosting the hydration barrier.

NIACINAMIDE 
A naturally occurring compound of Vitamin B3 and nicotinic acid, this 
super ingredient visibly reduces pores, uneven skin and fine lines.
Apply a visible layer on cleansed, dry skin including under-eye area. 
Leave for a minimum of 10 minutes. 
Wipe off excess with a warm cloth or towel, there's no need to rinse.

Cruelty Free, Vegan, Non-comedogenic, 
no phthalates, surfactants, petrolatums, 
BHT, BHA, or silicones

This long awaited product, unlike many super hyped beauty products,
 did not disappoint, as it was all that I expected it to be.
I have tested this product as a mask/leave-on mask and as a moisturiser
and my preferred way is as on overnight face mask (inc. the eye area)
My skin both looked dewy and rested, but also felt perfectly hydrated,
comforted and nourished.

If I was looking to take just one skincare product away with me, then it
would have to be this multi tasking Jet Lag Mask as it makes an 
ideal travel companion.
This cooling/refreshing mask on application instantly drenched my skin
 in moisture and it felt super nourished and at the moment I can only imagine
 how great the skin would feel and look after a long haul flight.

Officially classed as Fragrance Free, this mask does contain
a very small amount of Peppermint Oil, Corn Mint Oil and Orange Oil which
 gives this mask a slight tingling/cooling effect on the skin, now whilst I
 enjoyed this tingling sensation and had no reaction I could imagine a sensitive 
or fragile skin may find this sensation not to its liking.
(I have since read that SUMMER FRIDAYS have had a recent batch, 
 of this mask compromised during its manufacture and have temporarily 
withdrawn production. Consumers complained of the mask causing
a reddening and severe tingling sensation on the skin)

My batch is ok and despite this setback I'm still a fan and I cannot wait 
to put it to a realtime JET LAG test, whenever that may be...
