NUXE RÊVE DE MIEL LIP MOISTURISING STICK {REVIEW}

I honestly dread to think how many Lip Balms I have used and spent money on over the years, as its always been a part of my beauty regime from way back when I was a teenager and I'm happy to report that they've come on in "leaps and bounds" with regards to research & development since then.

On Beauty Shout Box I have reviewed several Lip Balms etc., some great and some not so great, others just disappointed and some just didn't live up to expectations and my 

latest review on the 

NUXE Rêve de Miel Lip Moisturising Stick 

sadly fell into the latter category...

I recently purchased this Discovery Offer from NUXE which contained one of my 

favourite Hand Creams to read that review and the Lip Balm in a stick form, which I hadn't tried, so it was a good opportunity to put it to the BSB test.

All the Pink Links to previous relevant product reviews will be down below.

My Top 3 Lip Balms (as of May 2019) included the NUXE cult product

NUXE Rêve de Miel Ultra Nourishing Lip Balm

My Top 3 Lip Balms

NUXE Rêve de Miel Ultra Nourishing Lip Balm

  

NUXE say that their Lip Moisturising Stick is an intensive, ultra-nourishing formula, 

with a potent blend of honey, plant oils, shea butter and grapefruit essence, which delivers consistent hydration and protection (particularly in colder, wintry climates) without any irritating stickiness.

I can't really disagree with any of their claims above, as it depends on how dry or chapped your lips feel, I was just expecting the Lip Moisturising Stick to be as nourishing as the their Ultra Nourishing Lip Balm, especially as it also claims to have an ultra-nourishing formula, unfortunately it's a "lightweight" in comparison.

I found the nourishing elements to soon disappear on my lips leaving them

 somewhat dry still and that's something that I don't experience with the 

Ultra Nourishing Lip Balm and something I don't enjoy.

The clear slightly honey scented Lip Moisturising Stick is perfect though for speedy, 

on-the-go use and way more convenient than the pot format.

 It also acts as the perfect base for under the driest of matte liquid lipsticks.

I also discovered that it can also be applied to dry patches anywhere on the skin

and can be soothing on eczema or psoriasis and being packaged in a lipstick ensures

its super quick and easy to both carry and apply.

Contains 90 % natural origin ingredients and does not contain Parabens.

I know this will sound very contradictory, the NUXE Rêve de Miel Lip Moisturising Stick

isn't a bad product by any means, but I can't help compare it to their 

Rêve de Miel Ultra Nourishing Lip Balm, so if you are looking for a super nourishing

lip balm from NUXE and don't mind the pot format, which lasts for ages by the way, 

then skip the Lip Stick and head straight for the pot, but if you want the convenience of being able to apply on the go then the Lip Moisturising Stick is an option and

whilst I will finish this product I wouldn't re-purchase...

SUNDAY SAMPLE

I haven't posted a Sunday Sample for so long and my sample collection is

building considerably, so this week I thought I would review 2 fragrance samples.

Neither of these brands or fragrances are new, but they're both popular and the fragrances just happen to be ones that I haven't tried before.

Both brands have similarities, as they stem from fashion houses that were founded by friend partnerships, one from the Netherlands and the other from Italy.

I will wear them during the week and give you feedback

 back next Sunday as to who they would best suit and how they both wore on me.

FLOWERBOMB

 VIKTOR&ROLF

EAU DE PARFUM

Viktor & Rolf is a fashion house and it was founded in 1993 by Dutch designers 

Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren and as with so many fashion houses a signature 

fragrance soon followed.

Classified as a Floral Oriental.

DOLCE & GABBANA
POUR FEMME

EAU DE PARFUM

Dolce & Gabbana is an Italian luxury fashion house founded by Italian designers 

Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana. 

One of their earlier creations D&G Pour Femme is classified as an Oriental and 

having tried a couple of D&G previously it is a brand I enjoy.

Let me know in the comments section below if you have tried either of these

two Sunday Samples.

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

I've gone back to a review that I posted back in July 2017 for todays 

ThrowBack Thursday Post

and I do love a good face mask and Kiehl's ticks all my masking boxes with a 

couple from their collection.There is a Pink Link below to one of my other faves.

The Calendula & Aloe Soothing Hydration Masque is now available 

in South Africa at Kiehl's stores countrywide.

~~~~~~

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 here

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.
