ZELENS TRANSFORMER INSTANT RENEWAL MASK {REVIEW}

Last Sunday I was away on a road trip to the Cape region and it was whilst

I was away I put my sample of the 

ZELENS TRANSFORMER INSTANT RENEWAL MASK 

to the test and the clue as to how good this mask is, is in the name, as it was

TRANSFORMING

This unparalleled anti-aging mask was developed by Dr. Marko Lens for his 

tailor-made "Red Carpet" facials, so I was expecting something special

from this mask and it certainly didn't disappoint, far from it, as it exceeded

all my expectations and coming from me that's quite some praise...

This hi-tech mask encourages skin renewal with immediately visible results. Powered with a potent complex of high-performance ingredients, this advanced multi-action mask hydrates, energises, replenishes and revives the skin.

The fortified cocktail combines hyaluronic acid 

(a naturally occurring component of skin tissue) 

and sesame protein to plump and tighten the skin, diminishing the appearance

 of lines and wrinkles, 

with seaweed complex and fatty acid-rich pearl extract for reinforced moisture

 and a radiant glow. 

Intensely moisturising, your skin will feel smooth and velvety with enhanced elasticity, restored vitality and a healthy, youthful glow.

I managed to squeeze 2 applications out of my sample and whilst I cannot

comment on any longterm benefits, the immediate visible results have 

sold me on this product.

My skin felt softer than its ever felt, it felt firmer and had a noticeably youthful glow, SIMPLY I'm hooked on this multi-tasking gem.

It truly is unique and like no other mask I have ever applied previously.

Application
Apply generously to cleansed face, neck and décolleté, avoiding the eye area. 

Leave on for 15 minutes, then rinse off with warm water. 

Use one to three times a week or as required.

Zelens products are extensively tested for safety and efficacy by renowned independent laboratories. Zelens uses no animal testing and no animal ingredients. Zelens uses no parabens, Zelens is committed to eco-responsibility.

for me each product has to go onto my Wish List

L'OREAL AGE PERFECT CLEANSING MILK {#TBT REVIEW}

This review dates back to July 2017 and as you will see I didn't take too well to this cleanser and I do believe its had a product rename and perhaps a formulation tweak, but it still wouldn't persuade me to re-visit this cleanser.

It also has reminded me to sort out the beauty products that I haven't finished over the past year or so and write another post on "Products I haven't Finished & Why", so expect this type of post soon.

*I have adjusted the price below as of 11/2020*

~~~~~~

On my quest to find good "Budget" priced cleansers I recently picked this product up from the L'Orèal skincare section of my drugstore and even though I've seen it on the shelves for sometime now, I've just never gotten around to popping one into my basket until the other day...

L’ORÉAL PARIS Laboratories have created the AGE PERFECT range for women with mature skin, aged 50 years and over, so luckily I just qualify to use...

The Age Perfect skin care line has been formulated for mature skin and includes cleansers, oils, serums, creams, and lotions, so you can get anti-aging benefits in every step of your skincare routine. Everything from the Age Perfect eye creams to the SPF lotions, moisturize, help reduce the effects of aging and restore healthy skin.

My first criticism of the L'ORÈAL AGE PERFECT CLEANSING MILK is not about the product but rather its packaging, despite the L'Oreal make-up range having a very upmarket look and feel the skincare in my opinion, has a disappointing cheap plastic presentation and therefore it makes me question the quality and efficiency of the contents that lie within...

This white creamy milk cleanser does have a luxurious feel and consistency and a pleasant delicate clean fragrance, but I'm sorry to say... this is where my praise of this product ends.

The AGE PERFECT Cleansing Milk contains Magnesium to cleanse the skin and Vitamin C to help re-energise. Whilst it cleanses perfectly well on a skin with no make-up, it really doesn't cope well with removal of foundation etc. and it actually took me 3 cleanses to remove all traces of make-up and to ensure that my skin was perfectly clean.

I found this cleanser to have an unpleasant oily texture that seemed to glide over the surface of the skin rather than cleanse, but perhaps this is a formulation feature to not drag and pull a weakened mature skin. 

Sadly this cleanser just didn't do it for me...

INOAR RÉSISTANCE LOTUS SUPER AMPOULE {REVIEW}

A while back I was sent two newly launched products from the

Brazilian Professional hair care brand INOAR.

Both products intrigued me as they're hair treatment products

INOAR RÉSISTANCE LOTUS SUPER AMPOULE

&

NOAR RÉSISTANCE LOTUS OIL

 Later this week I will be posting my review on the Lotus oil, but it

was the Ampoule that I opted to review first.

*Heads up*

My reviews will both be up in time for Black Friday INOAR website specials 

The key ingredient in the INOAR Resistance range is the Lotus flower, 

which is known to have revitalizng power, regenerating the hair strands & Vegetable/Plant Collagen moisturising the hair, making it softer and more supple. 

Revitalization and repair of the hair shaft works by sealing the cuticle.

Hair is left soft, supple and revitalised with intense shine.

Stimulates hair growth whilst also controlling hair loss.

Improves scalp health and balance.

The contents of the LOTUS SUPER AMPOULE ampoule promise to 

strengthen, moisturise & nourish the hair in 3 minutes.

The ampoule contains around 5-7 applications 

(depending on length and condition of your hair)

It's easy to incorporate into your regular hair routine, after washing your

hair with shampoo apply an adequate amount onto the lengths of the hair

and then spend a couple of minutes massaging into the strands of your hair.

Then use a wide toothed comb to spread the product out evenly.

Leave for 3 minutes and rinse.

This product is:

Cruelty Free

Vegan

Botanical

Sulfate Free

Paraben Free

This ampoule gives your hair that, often needed, extra boost of condition,

softness and shine that I have only previously found after an ampoule

treatment at the hair salon. My hair not only smelt amazing, but it felt amazing

and after a couple of uses I was able to find my ideal amount to apply

and managed to eke out 6 applications and I have long hair.

This intense "HOME" ampoule treatment is flexible regarding use,

as you can also add a couple of drops into your regular conditioner 

or hair mask.

Considering the ease of use, the effectiveness and the price of the ampoule

 this certainly gives you a very cost effective salon result all in the

comfort of your own home.
