Simone Slater [한국의 외국인 생활]: review

Last week I received this package from rubybox which contained the new Nimue Skin products. As you all know I suffer with the odd acne breakout and have a lot of pigmentation and dark spots. So when rubybox reached out to me to test this amazing brand and document it, I gladly made myself available. I first had to do an online skincare test which I did on the Diagnostic Tool. Once I completed the online skin analysis, I found my skin classification and they also listed the products I need for my type of skin. There are a host of products for every skin type, so it helps to take the test to come to a conclusion on your skin type and the product options they provide.

Over the past few weeks I have had the opportunity to experience the joys of LUX igniting the spark in my life with their fragrance body products. Besides the pretty packaging in which it was sent, the aroma that came from the box as I opened it only had me wishing to test and try it out then and there. That evening I ran a bath and filled it with the Soft Touch Pink Floral Infusion body wash which created a perfect bubble bath after a busy day at the office. I added just a few drops to my bath water and it did the rest. Totally relaxing and definitely ignited some spark. To top it off who does not like a sweet something to nibble on? The pink macaroons was the perfect touch to my bubble bath which I shared with Dale.

What was included in the presspack:

Soft Touch Pink Floral Infusion Body Wash
Soft Touch Pink Floral Infusion Bar Soap 100g
Soft Touch Pink Floral Infusion Bar Soap 175g
USB stick
Candles
Macaroons

Impression:

First impression was OMG!! And then I played around with the products and I fell inlove. Recommend purchasing these affordable products, even for a gift especially for the festive season. Which women doesn't like to receive gifts to pamper herself with. I have been using LUX for years so its not a first with the brand but a first with this fragrance.

Pros:

Affordable price point
Very fragranced
Leaves your skin feeling supple and fresh
The body wash doubles as a showergel and bubble bath

Cons:

If you have sensitive skin and react to fragrance soaps or shower gel then this product is not suitable for you.

If you would like to purchase any of these products, you can at leading retail stores like Clicks and Dischem. Prices range from:

Lux Body Wash 200ml – R21,99

Yay this is a second video up on my channel this week Lets hope we keep it up. Comment below if you would like to see more videos weekly. Today we tackle the L'Oreal Infalliable 24HR Foundation. I have been reviewing this product for the past month and I really love it. Firstly if you watch in the video you would notice the amount of pigmentation I have from acne and I do anything and everything to cover them up. This foundation does the right amount of covering with a very little product. Two pumps gives me the perfect coverage for an everyday look.

Lets go through the PROS and CONS about this Foundation:

PROS

❥ Lasts throughout the day

❥ The smell is very fresh and not medicated like most foundations

❥ A little product goes a long way

❥ Easy to blend

❥ Does not dry quickly when applying

❥ No mask effect/spook face - for those selfies

❥ The finish is Matte with a dewy effect

❥ Covers imperfections

❥ Natural finish

CONS

❥ Transfers on clothing - so no hugging the hubby :-(

❥ If you have an oily T-Zone, the foundation will start shinning

If you do have oily to combination skin, I suggest using a powder to set the foundation and also a primer or pore filler. This will help mattify your skin and allow the foundation to apply evenly.

I hope you enjoyed this review and demo. Please let me know if you prefer videos like these or if you would like other videos. Its the long weekend so be safe and enjoy your Heritage Day tomorrow. Stay blessed.

Last week rubybox sent me the Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water #GarnierComeClean to review. I have been using the product since it launched so it wasn't new to me. I must say I feel inlove ever since I started using it. Not only does it completely remove your makeup and any residue but your face feels softer and supple without the sticky or tight feeling from most cleansers. I will be hosting a giveaway whereby I will be giving away both Cleansing Waters. So comment below what type of giveaway I should host and how you would like to win. In video you will see the product in action. I have foundation, concealer and face powder, contour and highlight creams, lipstick and blush. The makeup comes off with one cotton round but I use two cotton rounds juts to be sure that everything is off.

If you would like to purchase these products visit your local Clicks stores or shop online via Zando for rubybox beauty related products. Let me know if you have tried this out yet. Have blessed day and we will chat soon!

Hey Loves, so I finally got around to posting a new video for your loves. Sorry I have been gone for a minute. I have changed my foundation routine, trying and testing out the Estée Lauder DW foundation. I have been loving the results. Not only does it not Transfer on clothes but it gives you a matte finish which means you don't need to set with a powder. The texture is liquid and can be messy as there is no pump but that does not defeat the purpose of the foundation. Have you tried it out yet?

I am in shade Bronze, but thinking of purchasing a slightly darker colour for the summer months.
