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:

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.
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!
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!
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.

Dove Intensive Repair

Today I am reviewing Dove Intensive Repair from the Dove Damage Therapy range, sent to me from the lovely ladies at the Beauty Bulletin. Dove Intensive Repair for hair, is a daily treatment conditioner. It is a new generation conditioner which also contains a treatment. The treatment contains Fibre Actives™ which penetrate deep inside the hair to repair damaged proteins and the conditioner contains a Micro Moisture Serum which intensely nourishes and seals lifted cuticles, to prevent future damage.

I really enjoyed using this product! It has a lovely fresh fragrance and is extremely easy to use. Plus it comes in a handy container perfect for storing in the shower. After shampooing your hair, apply Dove Intensive Repair to wet hair and leave on for 1 minute. Rinse out and you are done – it is as easy as that! Style as you normally would. My hair was super easy to comb through afterwards and I had a lovely silky finish after styling. My hair is fine and naturally oily, so personally I would probably only use the product every second day.

I also used the Dove Intensive Repair on my daughter’s hair which although fine, is very curly and difficult to manage and it worked extremely well. Her hair was also easy to comb through and not fly away on the ends, as it usually is after washing.

I would definitely recommend Dove Intensive Repair and I feel that it is suitable for all hair types. I feel that it will work particularly well on dry or damaged hair.
