Review : Sukin Blemish Control Starter Kit

 Hi Beauties 

#TradeExchange

I'm back with an exciting review. I have been reviewing the SUKIN : Blemish Control Range Starter Kit over these couple of weeks.

The kit includes Clearing Facial Wash , Pore Perfecting Toner , Spot Banishing Gel and an Oil Free Moisturiser . The 4 step range is all you need to get your skincare journey started.

I was super excited to be part of this project as you all know how I love skincare and what made me more excited that it is a all natural range - 100% natural Vegan and Cruelty free.

The Sukin Blemish Control Range is packed with active ingredients and botanicals like eucalyptus , moringa , quince , pomegranate , tea tree , willow herb and salicylic acid - which are all ingredients to help reduce blemishes and the appearance of redness.

First Impressions Once Applied :

I love the fresh scents firstly of all the products in the kit. Once applied I had no reactions to any of the products. When using the toner (Step 2) I thought I would get a reaction as it smelled a bit strong on my opinion but safe to say it gave a refreshing feeling to the face once applied.

As the days went on I could see a possible breakout coming along and my cheek area looking a bit bumpy and after using the range the next morning the pimple coming didn't come out further and the bumps on my cheek were gone.

Final thoughts :

I am please to say that over the weeks of using the range I am very happy with the results and can see changes to my skin. It looks more blemish free and my skin 100% agree with the products. I also love that the scents are fresh and you can smell all the natural ingredients. So if you have Blemish prone skin this is the product to start with. 

I rate this 5/5 and would purchase.

Review : Clicks Skincare Collection - Rooibos + Anti-Oxidants SPF 15 Day Cream and 3-in-1 Facial Cleanser

 Hi Beauties

Today I have review on facial products from Clicks . I've been using it for a few months now and I'm very happy and thought I would share. 

I was on the hunt for a SPF but unfortunately my budget did not allow me to get the one I want so I came across the clicks skincare collection and I was very curious and like normal its always the packaging that gets me. I then purchased the SPF Day Cream and a facial cleanser because I ran out of facial cleanser. 

Clicks Skincare Collection - Rooibos + Anti Oxidants SPF Day Cream R69.99 (50ml)

• Protects skin from UVA and UVB rays.
• For normal and combination skin.
• Contains Goodness of rooibos

because there is SPF in the day cream I feel that it gives a very matt finish once applied to the skin. I love the fact that your face doesn't feel super sticky like some sunscreen once applied I suppose it because its a cream containing SPF. There was once or twice that my skin did act up on the cheek area like little bumps but not major reaction , no burning sensation or so. I love the light scent it gives off.

Clicks Skincare Collection Rooibos + Anti-Oxidants 3-in-1 Facial Cleanser R64.99 (150ml)

• Gel Cleanser.
• 3-in-1 Cleanser.
• Contains Goodness of Rooibos.
• Removes Dead Skin Cells.

I really loved how soft this cleanser was while feeling the soft grains gently exfoliating your skin, the scent is also amazing after using it for some time I'm happy with the product.  

All in all I think the Clicks Skincare Collection is super affordable and I would like to test and try the other collections and product. It is super budget friendly especially the 3 for 2 promos.

I would purchase the rooibos brand again especially if I'm on a budget.

REVIEW : Fujifilm INSTAX SQUARE SQ1

Hi Lovelies ,

I have a very exciting review post to share with you guys , I will be reviewing something very different to beauty products but its something that I've used very much these past few years to capture special moments in my life and also think it is rather fitting with my content  - its the FUIFILM INSTAX SQUARE SQ1. 

Instax was very kind to send over their Instax camera to test and review and I could not resist and had to take the opportunity. What made me more excited is that the prints are square format (photo picture size 62 x 62 mm). I do own 2 Instax cameras but the print is more smaller and the cameras are different to the SQ1 so I was very keen to see what the Instax SQ1 was all about.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS :

WOW , the colour was absolutely lovely, the colour I received was Terracotta Orange super beautiful and different to the mundane colours you normally see. I also loved the shape I think its very modern looking to fit this day and age.

I received the camera at the perfect moment as my family and I were heading on a mini staycation. 

TRYING OUT THE SQ1 : 

I loved the easy grip when holding , so for the selfie lovers this one is great for you(it has a selfie mirror, making it easier for you to see before capturing your image) , you can capture all the selfie moments without an hassle. I also feel that it captures great in light and dark settings I took a picture of sunrise and sunset and you could see the different hues of colour in the images nicely, no need to worry about changing any settings.

FINAL THOUGHTS :

I honestly loved the experience with the camera , I loved the fact that you can fit more people/surroundings in the square format . It also really captures your surroundings more clearer and offer those that do not like complication tech it has a simple operation which is very straight forward to use "ON" and "Selfie" mode .  If I should be by the means this would be one I would like to purchase. The only thing that I would have loved for the SQ1 is that it would have been awesome if it had self timer like my Instax Mini 70 , but other than that the SQ1 is super simple and effortless , straight forward to use and the image/film quality is great ! 

KEY FEATURES

• Selfie Mode
• Auto Exposure
• Simple Operation

Retail Price in South Africa +/- R1999

Colours Available in the SQ1

If you have read this post and I convinced you to buy your own Instax SQ1 please tag me on instagram @nabeelahisaacs as well as @instaxsa and #InfluencedByTheFabDiary #FindsByTFD , or thanks for the recommendation I would really appreciate it.

Disclaimer: Instax SQ1 was sent over to TEST and REVIEW and not to keep but I got to keep all the instax photos.

March '21 - Catch Up

 Hi Fellow Beauties,

Firstly HOW ARE YOU ?? I haven't been here in ages and I really cannot believe how quickly the year is going by , it's already March and almost over how even?! 

I'm sure most of you are exhausted from 2020- coronavirus is really taking a toll on everyone and businesses. I know I am exhausted and to be honest I'm just taking the days as it come in 2021 - not over thinking , no structured plans , goals because mental health is important at this stage.

The year already did not start off well for myself as I lost my Grandpa whom I was very very close to. It was unexpected and never did myself or any of my family see it coming , it literally happened in a blink of an eye a week to be exact! Aaah I miss him so much!

And because its already March ... it does not make it any easier to think of what you going to do because the days are moving so fast you cannot even gather your thoughts especially during this new normal which is kind of draining . As much as I want to be goal driven or plan things , I just don't want to set an goal/ expectation and what makes me more happy is take it day by day. 

To those who have been reading my blog and those that do return I just want to say thank you for reading and supporting my blog (although I'm not a consistent as I want to be , I do love coming back here and sharing what I want to share and I feel proud of my little space). To those that are NEW here HELLO and I hope you love my content and hope this is a space you love where you will find mostly Fashion , Beauty and Lifestyle posts but also some adventure and some random posts here and there.

If you often read my blog comment what you love about it.

Anyway just thought I would give you a little catch up session what I'm currently feeling and ya I hope whoever comes across this post I hope you having a fabulous 2021 so far, If you not that is also ohkay just find something cool to distract yourself and you will be fine trust me. 

To those who have lost a loved one , I hope you find comfort in your hearts. Remember to stay safe wear your masks and sanitize !

but lastly I hope you all ohkay 😊 please comment below how you feeling at the moment. 

Stay Fabulous

PEACE OUT 2020

Hi All 

As 2020 comes to a close I'm sure that this year is definitely one for the books, a year we will never forget, a year of challenges and a year of adapting to a NEW way of life our NEW NORMAL and trying to make it work.

Secondly I would love to give my condolences to all that have lost loved ones due to this deadly Coronavirus(COVID-19) and all I can wish for you is that as the days go on I hope your hearts ease from the pain and may it only get easier as time goes on. To those who cannot even see their loved ones I hope you get to see them soon.

Applause to all those that  were strong enough to survive this year - starting new businesses, reaching your goals and managing to make ends meet successfully and a bigger applause to those who smiled through the challenges , those who hustled 10 times more and never gave up to survive and also to those who lost their jobs just know I am praying for you to find light at the end of the tunnel, it must be tough but I know you will get through this (I mean look you made it to the end of 2020) .

A year we all thought it was 'OUR YEAR' only to find out it was a year of the unexpected , the year a frikken virus took over the world , a year we we will truly never ever forget.

Personally I'm thankful for being surrounded by my loved ones and having my health at the moment and nothing else matters , no goals, career wise , business wise and just enjoying taking everyday as it comes and cherishing the moments of time spent together.

Please Remember to keep safe , sanitize and wear your mask !

And a huge shoutout to all those on the frontlines , risking your lives everyday may you all be blessed and sending all the strength your way. You are the hero's.

Peace out to 2020, we surely will remember you. 

Comment below anything that 2020 taught you or what you thankful for.

Stay Fabulous

Review : Eucerin UreaRepair Plus 5% Urea Body Cream

 Hi Beauties ,

#TradeExchange

I was sent over a a Body Cream from Rubybox and Eucerin to Test and Review and I was super excited to be part of the test and review group.

I've been using the Eucerin UreaRepair Plus 5% Urea Body Cream for a couple of months now and I must say I am very happy with it, before I give my final thoughts here is a little more info on the Eucerin Body Cream :

• Fragrance Free
• For those who suffer from dry , rough skin or those that suffer with psoriasis 
• Gives immediate relief 

for my OG readers you know that I suffer from psoriasis / eczema from time to time and I have been sharing some products that work for me so I was very excited.

I've never used Eucerin products fully before beside using my moms Sunblock mildly and I loved it because I only heard/read great things from the brand. 

When applying the body cream after first application I can definitely say it is smooth and super hydrating.

The area I put it to test was behind my ears and legs as I have flaky skin because currently that is the area suffering the most at the moment. After a few applications I can say that it does make a difference and the flakiness have not been that much since using the Eucerin Repair Cream. So all in all its a very moisturizing cream and the are will stay hydrated for a period of time and great if you have DRY SKIN.

I would definitely use this product again for certain parts of my body it helps a lot where it is dry.

I would suggest that you should not use it on any broken skin as it will burn and not on your face if you have super sensitive skin , because sometimes it does leave a burning sensation once applied.

Let me know if you have used the Eucerin UreaRepair Plus 5% Urea Body Cream and how you found it?   

Retails for R249.99

Have a lovely weekend.

Stay Fabulous

Review : Sorbet Balancing Body Butter and Body Wash

Hi Beauties ,

Hope you all doing good , thank god its weekend.

Today I will be reviewing the SORBET Balancing Body Butter and Body Wash. I'm a big fan of sorbet and I love their ranges. This was the first time trying a body butter and body wash and I'm impressed. I also love that its budget friendly. I bought it some time ago soo here are some of my thoughts below after using it ... 

What I loved about the balancing range:

• Body Butter - I love how nourishing it is when applied to the skin , I love how it moisturize into the skin after a shower or bath, oh and let's not forget the amazing scent.

• Body Wash -  The scent when washing your body gives your mood an instant lift and I love that it did not irritate my skin as I have sensitive skin.

The Sorbet Balancing range has blends of rosemary ,  sunflower oil and pearl extract with a dose of vitamin E. Its true what it states on the packaging the range is definitely uplifting.

If you have used any of the ranges let me know which is your favorite I'm yet to try the others. Hope you enjoyed this short little post. 

You will find these ranges at Clicks .. little tip keep an eye for those 3 for 2 deals you bound to save , you welcome 😁

Have a lovely weekend. 

Stay Fabulous
