Oh So Heavenly Newbies

I’m sure you’ve noticed that I am a HUGE fan of Oh So Heavenly. They are constantly bringing out new products, variations and scents and their stuff is cheap as chips. Here are a couple of newbies that are now on shelves at Clicks.

Scentsations Perfectly Peared Body Lotion is a light, fast-absorbing lotion that leaves you skin soft and smooth and smelling of pears and blossoms. Perfect for those who do not like heavy and think body creams. It’s lovely and a steal at R22 for 300ml.

The Cool ‘n Confident Powder Soft Anti-perspirant contains powder to keep underarms extra dry and moisturisers to keep your skin soft. I haven’t had a chance to try it yet, but the scent is pretty and subtle. R20 for 100ml.

Happy Hands Creamy Caress Hand & Nail Cream contains moisturising Milk Proteins and Yogurt Extract to help nourish hands and nails. I love the scent off the Creamy Caress range and I have purchased quite a few from the range myself. It smells clean and fresh. My hands are left feeling soft, smooth and hydrated. The huge 140ml tube goes for R29.

Honestly, OSH’s body spritzers are probably the only products from this brand that I am not a fan of. The ones I’ve tried are fruity or floral and I don’t like sweet scents, not for a spray at least. BUT the Scentsations Fresh Start Body Spritzer is awesome. The scent is clean and fresh with hints of geranium, ylang ylang and iris. I absolutely adore it! This spritzer is perfect to freshen up during the day, or after a shower/bath in the evening. It is going to be great in summer. I also see myself spraying this on my bedding. Problem is that my Gran has already decided that this one belongs to her. But at only R22 for a 100ml bottle I can afford to stock up. And trust me, I will.

PS Don’t forget about the new OSH body butter that I mentioned HERE. And be on the lookout for Mum & Cherub reviews next week.

Love me some Dermalogica

At our most recent #BloggersWhoBless event, we were spoiled with a couple of Dermalogica travel size products. I was quite chuffed… well, because it’s Dermalogica. No need to explain anything here. What did surprise me was the fact that some of these impressed me just as much as Dermalogica’s PreCleanse did. I didn’t think that was possible.

Special Cleansing Gel

This is a lovely soap-free foaming cleanser that leaves my skin clean, but not feeling tight or stripped. It really is very gentle. What impressed me most was the fact that I only need the tiniest drop of cleanser. When I say tiny, I really mean tiny. I keep on using too much. The cleanser is expensive at R480 for 250ml, but you can get a 500ml bottle for R700 which really is great value for money.

Multivitamin Power Firm

This little powerhouse aims to combat lines around the eye area with ingredients like Retinol, vitamins C and E, as well as silicones to shield vulnerable skin. It has a balmy feel to it and feels lovely to apply. It also works as a lovely base for smooth and even under eye concealer application. R740 for 15ml.

Daily Microfoliant

I wasn’t too excited when I saw this one. I tried a sample years ago and I wasn’t impressed. Either Dermalogica changed it or (most likely) I was just to dof to understand the product back then (being used to exfoliants/scrubs that were grainy and hard). This is what it is: ‘Unique rice-based powder formula activates upon contact with water, releasing Papain, Salicylic Acid and Rice Enzymes that micro-exfoliate dead cells, instantly leaving skin smoother and brighter.’ When I tried it years ago, I expected a scrub. Now I know better. This product is absolutely lovely and I rate it up there with the PreCleanse. My skin is left looking radiant and feeling soft and smooth, without any irritation. I highly recommend this product, especially if you have sensitive skin and most other forms of exfoliation tend to aggravate your skin. R850 for 75g.

Skin Smoothing Cream

If you have combination or dry skin that is sensitive, then this cream is a must. Especially during winter. It immediately calms and soothes my skin, whilst leaving it perfectly moisturised and soft. I have loved it for years, and I will for many years to come. This is one of my mom’s favourites too. R630 for 50ml / R880 for 100ml. Again, this is a pricey product, but it is really worth the price tag and a little goes a long way with this one too.
