Living the Organics Life with Beauty Bulletin

For the past couple of weeks our whole family has been trying out Organics shampoos and conditioners as part of the #TheOrganicsLife Beauty Bulletin campaign. And what a treat it has been.

Organics Hair has been formulated with organic extracts to care for your hair from root to tip. Their range of solutions offers something for everyone, whether you need extra care for dry and damaged hair, a quick and easy fix, or something that is gentle enough for the little ones to use.

#TheOrganicsLife

Looking for a hair care range that offers quality ingredients, nourishing care, a pretty spectacular price tag, packaging that is 100% recyclable, to-die-for scents and it’s suitable for the whole family? Then this is the range for you.

Beauty Bulletin sent us a family pack of Organics products a month ago and we are all very impressed.

Cara has been loving Coconutty. It obviously helps that the packaging is super cute. This no-tears formula smells amazing and leaves hair shiny and soft. Secret… we use Coconutty for all the kids in the house; those with 2 feet and those with 4. If it’s gentle enough for kids…

I have been using the Organics Dry & Damaged shampoo and conditioner for dry and damaged hair. The shampoo is my favourite. It’s rich and creamy and it leaves my hair feeling gorgeous. Best part… 400ml sells for only R50. You can’t beat that.

In the family pack we also received Straight & Sleek Shampoo and Conditioner that I could give to a family member or friend to try. Mom was more than happy to give it a go and when I asked her what she thought, all I got was ‘FANTASTIC!’. This means that the products gave her bounce and shine. My mom does not do flat hair.

Last but not least, my husband got the job of reviewing the 2-in-1 Anti-Dandruff Shampoo.

#TheOrganicsLife

He says it ticks all the boxes…

  • Effective
  • Easy to use (2-in-1 for the win)
  • Affordable
  • Smells good
  • Curls have bounce… yes all 3 of us rock those curls ;)

Verdict: We love Organics. Try it! We’re sure you’ll love it too.

 

Happy shopping.

PS Most variants come in 1L bottles with a pump… WIN!

It’s day 28 of the #High5ToGreatSkin challenge with Kiehl’s & Beauty Bulletin

I’ve mentioned before that I am taking part in the 28 day #High5ToGreatSkin challenge with Kiehl’s and Beauty Bulletin and today is day number 28.

My #High5ToGreatSkin #ChangeYourSkin Journey with Kiehl’s 

When I started this challenge, I was really struggling with skin that was sensitive, dry and environmentally stressed. Today I have soft, smooth, glowing, more even-toned skin. I don’t really think I need to say more. Thank you Kiehl’s and Beauty Bulletin! I am so happy with the results and this challenge has once again confirmed something that I already knew… Kiehl’s kicks butt.

Here are my thoughts on each product…

KIEHL’S MIDNIGHT RECOVERY CONCENTRATE

KIEHL'S MIDNIGHT RECOVERY CONCENTRATE

Day 1: I wasn’t sure that this oil would pack the punch my skin needs right now, but it does! I use a little more than the recommended 3 drops and my skin loves it. Liquid gold I tell you. No more tight, flaky skin. I have been using it in the mornings too and my skin feels calmed and soothed the moment this glorious liquid touches my freshly cleansed skin. I think using it twice a day is exactly what my skin needed as this harsh Cape Town weather has not been kind to me.

Day 21: I have found my holy grail product for winter!! Day 1… dull, scaly, tight and uncomfortable. Now… smooth, soft, glowing skin!! I am over the moon. Using this oil twice a day has been my skin’s saving grace!

Day 28: I couldn’t be happier! This oil is magic. This light, easily absorbed liquid literally saved my face this winter. If you have environmentally stressed skin, this is the products you need to get. It soothes, calms, moisturises and nourishes even the driest and most sensitive of skins. It gets 11/10!!

KIEHL’S CREAMY EYE TREATMENT

KIEHL'S CREAMY EYE TREATMENT

Day 1: This is the most nourishing eye cream I have ever used. It is very thick so you have to take your time to apply it to the delicate eye area. I can’t see much of a difference yet, but it feels good. Another plus is that my concealer applies like a dream. No caking at all!

Day 21: The longer I’m using this cream, the more I’m starting to love it. My under eye area definitely looks smoother and more hydrated. And it almost looks as though my crows feet are softening. Watch this space!

Day 28: Okay, I’m converted. I LOVE this eye cream. Crows feet have softened! I will not be able to go without Kiehl’s Creamy Eye Treatment ever again.

KIEHL’S POWERFUL-STRENGTH-LINE-REDUCING CONCENTRATE

KIEHL'S POWERFUL-STRENGTH-LINE-REDUCING CONCENTRATE

Day 1: I love how warm this feels on my skin. This thick concentrate also has a lovely calming effect on my skin. My skin looks plump after application, but we will have to wait and see what it does to these lovely lines of mine. I’ll keep you posted.

Day 21: I thoroughly enjoy applying this serum. It feels incredible on my skin. It really looks as though my smile lines and ’11’ wrinkles are softening. I’m excited!

Day 28: 28 days in and I am very happy with my results. My laugh lines and ’11’ wrinkles are definitely less noticeable. I am over the moon. I am so excited to see what this serum will do with continued use. Well done Kiehl’s!

KIEHL’S CLEARLY CORRECTIVE DARK SPOT SOLUTION

KIEHL'S CLEARLY CORRECTIVE DARK SPOT SOLUTION

Day 1: It’s a bit too soon to see any changes in my dark spots, but my skin looks beautifully bright at the moment. It must be doing something! I really like that this serum feels very light on my skin and works well when combined with other products. I love that the bottle is clear and that it has a dropper… I don’t want to waste a single drop.

Day 21: I have 3 stubborn dark spots on my forehead that does not seem to want to lighten (yet!), but I apply this serum all over and my skin appears a lot brighter and more even toned than before.

Day 28: It seems as though the pigmentation spots that I have on my forehead are lightening! I am very impressed. These spots didn’t just appear over night so I did not expect this serum to start making a difference in such a short amount of time. Overall my skin looks brighter and more even-toned. This is a winning product.

KIEHL’S ULTRA FACIAL CREAM

KIEHL'S ULTRA FACIAL CREAM

Day 1: I have a lot of love for this moisturiser. I was worried that it would be a bit much after already applying quite a few other products, but it provides just enough hydration without feeling heavy at all. I think this cream would work well for most skin types. It is awesome.

Day 21: I am still so in love with this cream. It is probably the ‘simplest’ of the 5 products I am currently testing, but it is so effective. My skin soaks it up and is left feeling calmed and soothed. This is a must-have! My sensitive skin loves it.

Day 28: It is safe to say that I have not used many face creams that I love quite as much as I love the Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Cream. It is such a simple product, yet it is so effective!! It is as though my face sighs with relief the moment this cream comes in contact with my skin. If you have sensitive skin, you will love it! I highly recommend this!
