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.

Spa-Valous Massage Candles

What are massage candles? I was not familiar with them, until recently when I heard about Spa-Valous Massage Candles and last week when I went for my first hot candle massage. Gone are the days when a candle simply functions as a way to light a room, candles are now most commonly purchased to scent homes or to add a romantic or relaxing ambience. Massage candles are a new variety of candle serving several simultaneous functions.

While they light a room, provide a delightful ambience, and scent the immediate area with subtle fragrance, massage candles also contain cosmetic ingredients that make them an excellent body moisturiser, offering anti-aging benefits and a massage oil alternative. Because of their unique ingredients, a true massage candle will melt at just over body temperature. Much like a hot bath, they are comfortably warm, but not too hot.

The luxurious Spa-Valous Massage Candle is a candle with a twist. It’s a Candle, Massage Oil, Body Lotion, Body Balm……. all in one!

Spa-Valous™ Candles are eco-friendly and non-carcinogenic as they do not contain any petroleum by-products. They are made from the finest 100% biodegradable, toxin-free, natural soy wax derived from easily renewable soybeans. It is a Proudly South African product, made, hand poured and packaged in South Africa. There are seven different fragrances available in the Spa-Valous candles, as well as baby massage candles and a fragrance-free pregnancy massage candle.

I must admit that I was most intrigued when I first heard about massage candles, if not somewhat sceptical but to my delight, it truly is a marvellous invention! Not only does the candle smell amazing but the feeling of the hot essential oil, from the candle, on your skin is sublime. Unlike other massage oils, the candle oil does not dry or feel sticky on your skin, it simply feels moisturising and soothing.

These candles are beautifully packaged and are perfect for a well deserved treat for yourself or a wonderful way to spoil that someone special!

Spa-Valous™ Candles retail for R180.00 each and are available at selected outlets countrywide or you can contact Tip Top Nails for more details.

Beauty Pick of the Week

My beauty pick of the week this week is Fiber Lash Brush On Lashes by Model co. Fiber Lashes are brush on lash extensions in a bottle! I have never been one for falsies but this sounded like a great idea, so I thought I had to give it a try. It will not be replacing my daliy mascara but it is great for the evening, especially if you are wanting to create a bit more of a dramatic eye.

There are two bottles in the box, one which contains the Extension Mascara and the other contains the Fiber Lashes. It is very easy to apply, firstly you apply the Extension Mascara, you then apply the Fiber Lashes over the mascara, followed by a second coat of mascara. It gives you a great effect without the hassle of false eyelashes. Below you can see my how to video:

It is also very easy to remove afterwards, just use your normal eye make remover on a cotton pad – it is as simple as that.

The recommended retail price is R340.00 – For local stockists click over to Luxury Cosmetics Website.

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.

Below you can see my video review of the product:
