Review : The Body Shop - British Rose Fresh Plumping Mask

Hi Beauties ,

Today on the blog I have a awesome review The Body Shop - British Rose Fresh Plumping Mask 

 Everyone loves a good self pamper and it should include a good mask do you agree ? 

I loved the scent immediately , you can literally smell the rose extracts as you open the jar. What I also noticed that was different about this particular mask that you could see that is was infused with real rose petals. 

How to use : Once your face is fully cleansed , apply the mask on your face and keep on for about 5- min as stated then rinse with lukewarm water. You can keep on for longer , I did and had no side effects such as a rash or burning sensation (this is really depending on your skin type).

This mask for me was very different to the ones I usually use and more like a gel type (reminds me a bit of the drops of youth - sleeping mask ) and it felt very light on the when applied which I loved. My face looked fresh once I was done , I really need to get me more of the British Rose Range.

I also think this mask is perfect to apply before you on your way out it gives it enough time to give your skin that fresh dewy look in a few minutes.

Why you should give the British Rose Mask a try : 

• Moisturizes Skin
• Soothes and tone skin 
• Refreshing gel texture 
• 100% vegan

I rate this 5/5

You can purchase online https://www.thebodyshop.co.za/ for R390 

It might be a bit pricy for some but if you have extra to splurge its definitely worth it. Also go in store and ask for a sample if you not sure its for your skin type.  

If you have used the mask please leave a comment below I would love to hear your thoughts.

Beauty Tool : Rose Quartz Facial Roller

 Hi Beauties ,

I think this will be the first time I will be reviewing a beauty tool on my blog. I've been using this beauty tool - The Rose Quartz Roller for more than a year even before it really became a huge hype in South Africa. 

before we get to my thought on the Rose Quartz Facial Roller let me tell you what it actually is and what benefits comes along with using it.

The Rose Quartz roller is especially for lymphatic drainage and to improve skin elasticity.

Benefits when using the facial roller :

• Reduces puffiness
• Good for blood circulation
• Helps to absorb oils or beauty products into the face
• Smooth out wrinkles
• Reduces stiffness and tension   

My thoughts on the facial roller :

I absolutely love it! When I don't use it for some time I can actually see the difference when not using it for a while. My favourite time using it when my face feels really tired/strained. It also really works well when applying serums and after a face routine.

 

  

I found this cool map on the internet to give you a guide how to use your roller.

I purchased mine from Sh'Zen , it now retails for R459. 

Please let me know if you love using the jade roller too comment down below what your favourite skincare tool is .

Stay Fabulous

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 

xoxo
