Sisley Limited Edition August Glossybox

On Friday I received my Sisley Limited Edition Glossybox to review, perfect timing for a bit of weekend pampering! I was rather excited about trying out these products as Sisley is a brand that I have not used before.

My Sisley Limited Edition August Glossybox contained the following products:

  • Cleansing Milk with White Lily – A creamy cleansing emulsion that dissolves the toughest make-up products, whilst preserving the balance of dry, delicate skin. I am loving this cleansing milk, it is very gentle and nourishing on your skin and it removes all traces of make-up, without drying out your skin.
  • Floral Toning Lotion Alcohol Free – Toner designed to perfectly remove make-up and keep skin looking clear and fresh. The toning lotion leaves your skin feeling wonderfully refreshed and silky smooth, ready to apply your day or night cream.
  • Facial Mask with Linden Blossom – A very refreshing cream mask, sheer bliss for dehydrated skin. Relaxes and smooths the skin, recommended for sensitive skins. This is definitely something I need as I have exceptionally sensitive skin, I have not tried it yet but will be sure to let you know what it is like.
  • Eye and Lip Contour Balm – A balm specifically formulated to effectively address the appearance of fine lines, dry skin and under-eye puffiness. Yay this is perfect for me, all the late nights and early mornings are resulting in very puffy eyes! The balm is wonderfully calming on the delicate skin under your eyes.
  • Restorative Facial Cream – recommended for repairing the damage caused by continued exposure to the elements, such as sun and wind, helping the skin to recover resilience. I am hoping that this cream will restore the moisture to my skin, as it has become very dehydrated during the cold winter months.
  • Anti-ageing Lift Foundation – A 2-in-1 formula which instantly smooths the skin and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The skin is left refined, blemish free with a luminous even complexion. This was an added extra to the box, a bonus product if you like. It sounds amazing but was only provided by Sisley in ‘soft rose’, which is probably a bit light for my skin tone, so I will be passing this on to a friend.

Beauty Pick of the Week

My beauty pick of the week this week features one of the products that we are giving away in one of our Woman’s Day Hampers, it is the Liquid Gold Pure Tissue Oil by Busby. Liquid Gold Pure Tissue Oil is a clinically proven face and body oil formulated, by Busby Natural Oils, to improve the appearance of scars, stretch marks, wrinkles, ageing and dehydrated skin.

Our mission is to develop and manufacture premium products, which are natural, have proven benefit, and retail at affordable prices. ~ Busby Natural Oils

As a woman of almost forty and a mom of two I am always on the look out for products that are beneficial for both stretch marks, ageing and dehydrated skin. I used tissue oil after both my births and still use it to prevent scaring or dry skin, so I was super excited to try out Liquid Gold Pure Tissue Oil and I am really loving it! I especially love the fact that the tissue contains natural oils such as Avocado, Grape Seed and Rose Hip oils giving it the added advantage of being a natural formulation. The bottle has a pump-action top which makes for extremely easy use and application. The tissue oil also comes in a wand size, which is perfect for carrying in your make-up or travel bag. It has a wonderful natural fragrance.

Liquid Gold is more than 85% natural. The only non-natural ingredients include Cetearyl Ethylhexanoate (for fast effective absorption), added Vitamin E (vital for efficacy) and the IPM emollient (of which only 30% is non-natural). The use of natural ingredients provides for the product’s success in terms of its efficacy and its suitability for sensitive skin.

I found that the Liquid Gold Pure Tissue Oil was easily absorbed by my skin and did not leave my skin feeling greasy. I have just started using this product, so I will definitely report back in the next few months to let you know the long-term effect of using it.

My July Rubybox

This post is somewhat overdue but it has been rather hectic at Super Mom HQ over the past few weeks, what with school holidays and the normal general mayhem but without further delay My July Rubybox review!

I love receiving my rubybox, all the excitement and anticipation of a little girl on Christmas morning! My July rubybox contained the following products:

  1. Beaucience Day & Night Moisture Cream, Beaucience Eye Resque Gel and Beaucience Masque – I received 3 sample sachets of the above products. Beaucience is a Botantical range of skin care, designed with the eco-conscious woman in mind, using natural organic extracts, providing the skin with pure nutrients. The Day & Night Cream is wonderfully moisturising and leaves your skin feeling smooth and silky. The Eye Gel is soothing and rather refreshing, perfect for puffy tired eyes. I must admit I have not tried the Masque yet but I think I may use it tonight.
  2. Chloé Love, Chloé Eau Intense – this perfume is wonderfully feminine, subtly floral without being too flowery. The with warm undertones of vanilla linger on your skin, with hints of a powdery, almost soapy finish. Much to my delight my good friend just arrived from the UK yesterday to present me with a full size bottle of Chloé Love – lucky me!
  3. 6-Step Nail Buffer – These always come in handy, no matter how many I buy they always seem to disappear. This one has gone straight into my handbag, for any nail emergencies on the run!
  4. Innoxa Body Lotion ~with green tea extracts – This is definitely my favourite product in this months box! It has an amazing fragrance and leaves your skin feeling wonderfully smooth. It works equally well as a hand cream.

* A bit of an extra bonus in this months box was a 20% discount voucher off your first months subscription to Lingerie Letters.
