BEAUTY PRODUCTS CURRENTLY UNDER REVIEW {JANUARY 2022}

I'm not off to a very good start with my postings for 2022, 

as it's already the 11th and I'm only now posting my

 Currently Under Review post for January, as the saying goes

"Better late than Never".

I have some exciting products to review in 2022, thanks to some

wonderful inclusions in my two Beauty Advent Calendars that

I opened during the course of December.

If any one would like to see my daily openings then head over to my

Instagram account where you will find them both under my 

Highlights Reel.

This month I will be reviewing two products that were press drops and

two from my calendars.

AVÈNE

SPF50+

INTENSE PROTECT

This latest sun protection launch from AVÈNE was kindly sent to me

for review back in December and unfortunately missed the inclusion

in my December "Currently Under Review" post, but I have been testing

this product out during the holidays, so you wont have to wait too long 

for my full review.

Avène SPF50+ Intense Protect is an innovative lightweight fluid offering 

very high UV protection with ultra water resistance. 

Suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin and babies from 

6 months of age.

BYTERRY

BAUME DE ROSE

HAND CREAM

I was so happy and lucky to have the 

BYTERRY JEWEL FANTASY Beauty Advent calendar 

to open during December, as I've well and truly moved from being

 just a fan, to now being obsessed with this French brand.

The Baume de Rose Hand Cream was one of several full sized

products that lay behind the 24 doors and to give you a heads up,

its divine, but I will post my full review very soon explaining why I

love it so much.

RAIN

RELAXING 

NIGHT CREAM

Another press drop and the arrival of this night cream was perfect timing, 

as my current night cream was nearing the end, so now that it's finished, 

tonight will be the first night of me using and as you already know, 

I take at least 3 months of use before I publish my full review.

This natural calming and relaxing night-time moisturiser, formulated 

with probiotics and botanicals known for skin conditioning, promises

to leave to skin appearing more radiant and even toned and I can't wait.

4.

AROMATHERAPY ASSOCIATES

DE-STRESS MUSCLE 

BATH & SHOWER OIL

This was one of several products that made me opt for the 

John Lewis Beauty Advent Calendar.

Not able to get AROMATHERAPY ASSOCIATES here in South Africa

I have had my eye on this very product, but couldn't bring myself

to pay the Luxe price, so you could imagine my excitement with

it's very welcome inclusion in this particular calendar.

I cannot wait to try and bring you my full review.

MONTHLY FAVOURITES {NOVEMBER & DECEMBER 2021}

This is the last faves post of 2021 and I have 3 products and a newly

launched range to rave about...

1.

AVÈNE

TOLERANCE CONTROL RANGE

The Tolerance Range was launched recently and I was

lucky enough to receive 3 products to try and not only was I impressed

but my "hubby" was also.

The 2 stars of the "Tolerance Show" were the

Soothing Skin Recovery Balm & Cream.

The range has been formulated to control the skin reactivity of hypersensitive, 

intolerant and allergic skin types.

"Hubby" took a liking to the Tolérance CONTROL Cream, 

which is more lightweight and immediately soothes stinging, tightness

 and hot flushes. 

It hydrates dry, hypersensitive, reactive, intolerant or allergy-prone skin.

 It’s the perfect everyday ally to control unpredictable skin reactions for a

more normal to combination skin.

My preference was for the rich soothing recovery balm, which hydrates dry, hypersensitive, reactive, intolerant 

or allergy-prone skin and calms the skin in 30 seconds.

 This rich moisturiser instantly calms sensitive skin and sensations of tightness, 

tingling and discomfort.

 The skin is left intensely moisturised and its barrier restored in 48 hours.

 Its rich and comfortable texture is particularly recommended for 

dry to very dry skin.

If you recognise any of the skin issues above then I highly recommend

this range whether it be for a short or long term use.

CHANEL

LES BEIGES

FRESH WATER TINT

This was my first Chanel purchase and I didn't regret it one little bit.

I had been procrastinating about this product for some time

and I was finally able to get one for free (more is revealed in my full review).

This lightweight, hydrating and instantly refreshing, the ultra-light formula

 is composed of 75% water. 

Created with micro fluidic technology, micro-droplets of encapsulated 

pigments melt into the skin on contact creating a radiant bare-skin effect. 

It provides a softened, smooth finish, for an even complexion.

EVE LOM

RADIANCE FACE MIST 

This isn't just another facial spray, its a versatile, effective skincare treatment 

in a mist form.

I wasn't quite sure what to expect, yet it turned out to be all that I wanted

 it to be and then some.

It's serious skin care in a mist format and it's great as a boost 

or top-up for the skin during the day.

I have just come to the end of this face mist and I am seriously considering

 the "splurge" on buying a full size one , as I've really enjoyed this product.

RAIN

FACIAL EXFOLIATOR

If I'm honest I wasn't expecting anything outstanding from this product, yet

once again I have been proven wrong, as I have been pleasantly surprised

 at how effective this exfoliator is.

I have been reaching for this product more than some of my other

exfoliators and, as I do have several, that speaks volumes as to how

much I'm enjoying it.

Overall it's an affordable, easy to use, effective facial scrub, one that would incorporate seamlessly into anyones existing skin routine and one I recommend.

BYTERRY BAUME DE ROSE BI-PHASE MAKEUP REMOVER {REVIEW}

I was fortunate this year to have two Beauty Advent Calendars to open

and one was the Jewel Fantasy from one of my favourite French brands

BYTERRY.

Whilst there were several product inclusions that I had tried previously,

there were many that I hadn't and the 

BYTERRY 

Baume de Rose Bi-Phase Make-up Remover

was a new try for me, so I have been using the 30ml travel size for the 

past week and here is my review...

Enjoy!

The calendar also included a travel size of the Baume de Rose Micellar Water,

 which means that I'm only missing the Baume de Rose Beauty Toner and that's

the pretty toner that includes floating rose petals and is one that I would 

love to try and

review for you, as it would complete the Baume de Rose cleansing/toning

 trio above.

This is a liquid, Oil and water-based cleanser makeup remover that has

 two phases.  It's Infused with rose oils and has been formulated to

remove waterproof and long-lasting makeup.

This is a super effective makeup remover for all skin types, combining 

two phases of oil and water that are mixed together when you shake the bottle. 

*Don't forget to shake*

It lifts away makeup effortlessly, even waterproof and longwear formulas,

leaving skin feeling fresh and clean and all in a few sweeps of the cotton pad.

It's leaves a non-greasy, velvety soft finish and has that BYTERRY subtle 

distinct rose scent.

Due to the inclusion of vitamin-rich rose oils my skin also felt hydrated 

and soft.

My first product review of 2022 has been a good one and

thanks to the Advent calendar expect more BYTERRY product reviews

during the year.
